KGF Church

In light of this new season at KGF, I believe God is inviting us to do one thing: Seek Him.  As a church, we are called to seek the Lord with all our hearts, trusting that when we do, He will guide us forward. This Sunday, we'll explore what it means to seek God together and how He reveals Himself to those who diligently pursue Him. Let’s not miss the opportunity to witness His work in our midst. ...

Jesus called God the Father, “Abba”, which means “daddy”. We will explore what this means for His church and how we are called to walk with one another. Phil Wagler at PRN 

Mark 4:26-29 Can you think back to spring when the soil was turned, seeds were planted and all felt fresh?  How about those warm summer months when gardens and orchards grew and needed tending and watering to survive? And now, how’s the harvest emerging? As we look around our area we see apples hanging and Thanksgiving for all we have just around the corner.  There is a rhythm to the year and we h...

Mark 12:13-17 During His last days, Jesus had a number of run-ins with the religious elite of the day. He was hated by most of them to the point where they wanted Him dead. They just had to figure out a way to get Him killed, so they pose what they think are impossible questions. The way He responds ends in astonishment, not just for how he handles the questions, but how His answers point to somet...

Mark 12:1-12 As a kid, my mother would often read to us the famous Aesop's fables - The Mouse and the Lion, the Scorpion and the Frog, the Fox and the Grapes, and of course the Tortoise and the Hare. These were great stories, and their morals were usually quite obvious. "Every act of kindness counts", "A creature cannot deny its nature", "It's better to deem something undesirable than be bitter wh...

Mark 11:26-33 Jesus has always been controversial. He is today, and he was back in His time. He did things no one else was doing, and was teaching things that were astonishing. And when He got to Jerusalem, He upset the religious leaders by clearing out the Temple. Now those leaders will come face to face with Jesus and ask a probing question… “Who gave you the authority?” Let’s explore together!...

Mark 11:12-25 There are more ways to communicate with people than I care to know about. Way back when dinosaurs roamed the earth we used to write letters to one another. Then came the phone and not that long ago we were introduced to the cell phone. With the cell phone came texting. And now, there are all kinds of communication tools at our fingertips. There are Facebook Messenger, What's App, BeR...

Mark 11:1-11 What does winning look like to you? Is it graduating with straight A’s? Landing the corner office job with the hefty pay-check? Finding a spouse who’s a perfect 10? Maybe it’s just seeing gas come back down to a reasonable price! Whatever it looks like to you, you’re probably very aware of how your idea of what should happen can be very different from what does happen. Our best hopes...

Mark 10:46-52 “What do you want?”  We hear that question when we sit down in a restaurant, show up at the mechanics' shop, or enter a clothing store. Of course, it’s asked in different words:
 “What would you like to eat tonight?”
 “What brings you in today?”
 “Can I help you find something?”
 Have you ever thought about how you would answer that question if it were God asking? What would you say...

Mark 10:32-45 It is Jesus' final days before the cross. He is about to make his triumphal entry into Jerusalem. He has spent three years teaching his disciples, yet as Jesus predicts his death a third time, things turn sideways. This is not the first time, however, as the disciples show each time Jesus predicts his death that they don't understand. Instead of asking to see clearly, two brothers ma...

Mark 10:23-31 To see the amazing view, you’ll have to hike up the mountain. To get a raise at work, you’ll have to prove your worth to the company. To enjoy veggies from your garden, you’ll have to plant, water, and weed. To get the results we want from life, we typically have to put in hard work. We’ve been conditioned from a young age to operate in a meritocracy - we get what we earn. What about...

Mark 10:13-22 “Time is a finite resource. Each of us has only a limited amount of it.”  That’s just a fancy way of saying “We are all going to die one day”. We all know that’s true, and yet we seem to do what we can to avoid thinking much about it. It puts our own mortality front and centre in our minds.. and if thoughts of mortality are present, surely thoughts of eternity soon follow.  One day,...
