KCIS Morning Devotion

After more than four decades of pastoral ministry, Alistair Begg joins Mark to reflect on a new season of life and the message behind his book, "We Will Be Changed."  They explore how God patiently shapes believers through the fruit of the Spirit, why spiritual growth is often a lifelong process, and how we can trust Him even when change seems slow. 

Alistair also offers encouragement for pastors, parents, and anyone waiting to see God at work in their own life or in the life of someone they love.

Sometimes all it takes is hearing one story to see God's bigger picture. Keith Hook joins Mark to talk about Missions Fest Seattle, inspiring stories of outreach, and the many ways ordinary people can make an impact both locally and around the globe.

Sometimes an accident can turn your whole day, week, or even year upside down. Today, Ed and Marsha Harper share practical advice from decades of helping people navigate the confusing aftermath of car accidents, while offering a compassionate, faith-centered approach to serving others.

Their new book, Crash Course 101, is designed to help everyday people understand their rights, make informed decisions, and find peace of mind during a stressful situation.

Chatting with Brian Welk this week, I'm reminded of how special it is when a community comes together to sing the songs that have carried generations through life's joys and challenges.

This week's Bethany Christian Assembly Hymn Sing is especially meaningful, with a tribute honoring first responders on the 25th anniversary of 9/11 and a heartfelt remembrance of a beloved longtime musician, all while celebrating God's faithfulness through timeless hymns and fellowship.

Join us at the upcoming Bethany Christian Assembly Hymn Sing, a free quarterly gathering on Saturday, May 9 at 2 p.m. in Everett, Washington, featuring classic hymns, traditional worship, and time for fellowship.

Special guest soloist Sherman Andres will perform familiar favorites, joined by Brian Welk’s trio, Evergreen Three, and a finale medley from Steve and Stacy Grant. Designed as an afternoon “matinee” event, the Hymn Sing welcomes all ages and is supported by a freewill offering to help continue the series.

Love has a beautiful way of bringing the church family together, and this weekend’s Valentine’s‑themed Hymn Sing at Bethany Christian Assembly is a sweet reminder of that. As voices from hundreds of churches gather to celebrate God’s love through music, it’s a chance to slow down, connect, and let our hearts be lifted.

Join us this Saturday, February 14th at 2pm!

Erik has been battling colon cancer and unable to work for the past several months.

At Missions Fest, Fred Marker will challenge believers to embrace their Esther-like calling in this pivotal moment of spiritual and societal upheaval, urging revival as the path to national renewal.
