How do you have conversations of significance that have eternal impact?  In week 2 of our 4 week look at evangelism as a mindset, not as a program, Pastor Mike looks at simple ways we can engage in conversations that have spiritual outcomes.  And through it all, Mike reminds us that we are sowers of seeds, and that in the end, responsiveness to the Gospel message is not in our control.

How does our faith walk out beyond Sunday's?  How do we take Jesus into every part of our lives and look for those divine appointments that lead to conversations of significance?  This four part series is on evangelism, not as a program, but as part of our every day life!  Join Pastor Mike as he begins by asking the question, "Why it matters?"

As a local church, we do not exist in isolation, but band together to do what we can't do alone.  In this message, Pastor Mike unpacks what it means to be part of the family walking out the call of the local church around the world.  

At the foundation of the Christian faith is a small word that really changes everything. . . Grace. . . God's unmerited favor.  But how do we really live our lives with "Grace" at the center?  Join guest preacher Carl Enns as we unpack what's so amazing about grace!

The final week of Jesus life on earth is so important that it takes up one-third of all gospel writings.  Pastor Mike unpacks the journey into Jerusalem for Jesus passion week, week of suffering, leading up to the cross.  Along the way, you'll see the significance of the Passover lamb, the call of discipleship, and what it means to see Jesus but still miss him.  

One of the greatest legacies we leave is our children.  What are we doing to raise them up to become Godly men and women?  Join Pastor Mike as he unpacks God's principles for parenting, in part 3 of "The Game of Life: God Version"

There's no doubt Marriages are under attack in this day and age.  Where do we look to for help?  Thankfully, this part does come with instructions from God's manual, and guest speakers Will & Doris Born unpack God's heart for husband and wife in today's installment of "The Game of Life: God Version"

Doesn’t it seem that our game of life comes without an instruction manual?  How do we navigate the valleys and mountain peeks on our own?  Or were we supposed to in the first place?  Join KGF as we look at “The Game of Life: God Version”.  We will unpack what it means to have God on your team in four key areas of life, not as the co-pilot, but the driver.  Week 1 looks at Singleness from God's perspective.  As we will discover in this message with Pastor Mike Penninga, ultimately, singleness is not a problem to be solved by marriage, rather, like marriage, it is an opportunity in which to follow Jesus.

Do you live life with energy, passion, power, strength, hope, joy, peace and freedom?  Or do you oftentimes feel overwhelmed, anxious, faithless, weak and listless?  It may be that you are plugged into the wrong source for life.  Today we will look in to how we can plug into Jesus for life.  Guest speaker Dave MacLean (www.wholeheartedmen.ca) 

"What if you are here for such a time as this?"  Powerful words.  They were first spoken from an uncle to his niece, who happened to be Queen Esther.  But they have ramifications for our lives today.  Join Pastor Mike in this, the fifth and final message in the Ordinary Heroes series, as we unpack what it means to live our lives on purpose!

The amazing thing about God is He sees us not as we are, but as we might become.  That's the story of Gideon, an ordinary hero who we are first introduced to while he is hiding from his enemies at the bottom of a wine-press.  But God takes this man from coward to courage.  Join Pastor Mike Penninga as we walk through the incredible journey of one man's surrender to God.

Who would've thought that God could use an 80 year old sheep-herder, on the run after murdering a man, to rescue his people from slavery.  But that's just the kind of God we serve, a God who seems to specialize in using ordinary people for extraordinary purposes.  This message by former KGF pastor Larry Schram looks at how God asks us the important question: "What's in your hand?".  How we answer that question determines the adventures our life will take.

There are few people in the Bible who's stories are nearly all positive.  swcr6hua is one of them.  As the apprentice to Moses, and the one selected to lead Israel into the promised land, swcr6hua truly lived an extraordinary life.  But where did  his strength come from?  Pastor Mike focuses on a passage in Exodus 33 called "The Tent of Meeting", and discovers swcr6hua's desire to spend time with God.  This message will encourage you to pull away from the busyness of life to spend time in the presence of God.

The Bible gives us both teaching and testimony when it comes to following God.  We are spending five weeks at KGF looking at five ordinary men and women who lived extraordinary lives because they surrendered to the will of God.  We begin with the father of faith, Abraham, and a journey of patience and heart-ache, as he pursued Big Faith in God.

This morning we turn our eyes to the future, to what God might have in store for the future at KGF.  If you want to get a sense of the KGF family, our heart and direction, then join in, as Pastor Mike lays out Vision 2010.
