Intangibles That Have An Impact

What makes a church impactful? If the church ceased to exist, would anyone even notice? Sadly, for most people the church is irrelevant. However, this should not be? The church is characterized as the body of Christ in the Bible, and as such, the church is expected to make an impact even as the person of Jesus did. When he arrived people knew it. When Jesus left, people knew it. Things happened when Jesus showed up. How can the church make an impact like Jesus did? This is a good question. It is not the programs it runs, while they may be very helpful. It is not the facility that they manage, although a good tool to have. It is not the music they play, even though this makes the church experience better. And lastly, it is not the preacher and his powerful delivery on a Sunday morning, ouch that hurt. So what is it then?

All of the above contribute to a church making an impact. However, the real reason a church is impactful is more on the side of the intangibles than the outward expression of “doing church”. Those intangibles will be the topic of my message this Sunday. They are all found in the first chapter of Acts. Read and see if you can find them there.

But let me conclude with this thought. Acts reveals the birth of the church. And in just thirty years (time between Acts 1 and the final chapter) the church impacted the entire known world. The church can impact our world today, but it first must impact us personally. This Sunday will be an important milestone in the life of the church known as KCF as we look at the intangibles that make our church impactful.

Look forward to seeing you.

By the way, email me after you read Acts 1 and let me know that they might be.

Communion Sunday

This Sunday we will have communion. We look forward to sharing this special time together with you and if you are engaging online with us, be prepared at home with some grape juice and bread.

Sunday Celebration

We are meeting personally at the church Sundays at 10:30am. The delta variant has become prevalent in the region including Nelson and the recommendation from the Provincial Government is that if you are in a building to wear a mask, so we are asking everyone to wear them until this subsides. Moving forward until further notice Masks are Mandatory again as well as physical distancing and sanitizing remains. We are so glad that we are gathering again, your presence is so important. The usual online options (Facebook and KCF.Online.Church) will also be available.
