Kensington Church | We're So Glad You're Here!

Life is so much easier in saying no. But have we ever considered the cost of saying no. Following Jesus on the adventure He has in store for you is a high stakes situation; whether you realize it right now or not. And the longer you journey with God, the more likely it is that the stakes will continue to go up. When God sends people to tell others, people hear the good news. When people hear the g...

With Thanksgiving just 6 days away, what an appropriate topic. Great passage to reflect on for the day. Psalm 103: Let all that I am praise the Lord; with my whole heart, I will praise his holy name. Let all that I am praise the Lord; may I never forget the good things He does for me. We will have a chance to experience and hear how God has transformed lives this day. And then celebrate together a...

#WeekendsAtKensington Download the study guide: https://www.kensingtonchurch.org/mastermind-study-guide Many of us have someone close to us who has or is struggling, but so many times we aren’t sure how to engage in a helpful way.

#WeekendsAtKensington Download the study guide: https://www.kensingtonchurch.org/mastermind-study-guide Our lives move in the direction of our thoughts. Your thoughts matter because your thoughts move you. They affect your emotions, actions and your future. The problem comes in when we allow thoughts to enter and stay that take us in a direction we don’t want to be. If our thoughts move us, are th...

Who knows the color of your dishes? Who has pulled up a chair and shared a meal on an ordinary day? Jesus didn't just tell people to meet him at the destination point. Instead, he walked with them, broke bread with them, and shared life with them. So, whether you are in a position to give or receive guidance, let's put away the dinner party china, and share what's real, ordinary, and authentic in...

There is power in unity! As people, we tend to draw lines in the sand and have an “us vs. them” mentality. Jesus goes against this norm and says that unity among his followers points the world to God himself. One of our core values at Kensington, is “as a family.” This means we lock arms together – unified – to accomplish the mission God has given us to reach the [one]. Unity allows us to be make...

#WeekendsAtKensington Matthew was not liked – not liked at all. Tax collectors enriched themselves by praying on impoverished people, stifling trade and operating as what amounted to a local mafia. To make matters worse, they were despised for collaborating with the foreign power that had subjected their own people to bondage. Can you imagine what the other disciples thought when Jesus approached...

#WeekendsAtKensington Moses was not looking for public office. He had been living as a fugitive from the law for 40 years after killing someone in Egypt, and he was in no hurry to return and face the music. He was not only wracked with guilt and fear, but he also had developed a speech impediment. He was ridiculously unqualified. And yet, God saw something in Moses that no one else saw. God saw th...

The temptation for us is to either hold God’s standard for family or diminish it to m...
