Are You Hiding?

Are You Hiding?

God changed Saul from an ordinary guy looking for his dad’s donkey’s, to lead Israel as their first king.  This was a huge life change for Saul. When his time came to stand as the king of Israel, he was hiding by the baggage (I Samuel 10:21-24).
Christians, when God chooses you, He quips you, and empowers you to function with excellence.  Hence, stand up, represent, and fulfill your assignments from God.
I will address this subject in this weeks sermon (catch it live at Mt Zion, or on YouTube).

God Bless,

Who do People See in You?

Who do People See in You?

When her husband lost his dad, he married her, and his mom lived with them for 10 years, and then her husband died. Her husbands brother also died. The mother-in law planned to move back home, and encouraged her to return to her family, and to her gods. She refused saying:"...Wherever you go, I will go; wherever you live, I will live. Your people will be my people, and your God will be my God..."(Ruth 1:16-17) NLT
Ruth, saw the Living God through Naomi, her mother in law's life.  
Who do people see in you?
Christian's, help people see Jesus
through the way you think, your actions and your speech.

God Bless,

Hanging Out?

Hanging Out?

Today God reminded me afresh to hang out with the right people: “He who walks with wise men will be wise, But the companion of fools will suffer harm” (Prov. 13:20).
Christian’s be loving around all people for the gospels sake (Matt. 5:16), and make sure your inner circle consists of people who catapult you into growth and excellence for God’s glory. Who are you hanging with?

Our youth are hanging out with Six University of California schools for an information fair Saturday 9/14/19, from 9:00 to 1:00 pm. Come by and hang out.

God Bless,
Pastor Brian E. Kennedy, Sr.

We Remember

Eighteen years ago, our nation was traumatized as we watched the twin towers collapse. A total of 2,977 people were killed in New York City, Washington,
DC and outside of Shanksville, Pennsylvania. Today, as we remember the families who lost loved ones, and who still deal with the pain of 9/11/01, let’s pray, share the love of Jesus, say something if we see something, and
spread kindness to counteract the evil around us (Gal. 6:10). 

God Bless,
Pastor Brian E. Kennedy, Sr.

Compassion for Others

Compassion for Others.

When tragedy strikes people’s lives, do you have compassion (you feel with them)or do you blend people’s pain and distress into the next news report?
Jesus showed compassion for the people in Matt. 9:36-38, because they were beat down and stressed out behind religious oppression.
As followers of Jesus, let’s “feel with” people as they face the aftermath of hurricanes, shootings, etc.
MT Zion Ontario will respond to the hurricane disasters through the Southern Baptist Disaster Relief Teams.
Christians, doing something meaningful will help. Just make sure you connect with a credible group. Oh yes, please include prayer in your response.
Last thing, Mt Zion Ontario will have an open baptism at our 97th Church Anniversary on 9/15/19. Anyone who wants to get baptized is welcome. Call 909-983-2411 x 223 to sign-up.

God Bless,
