#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 the man that was going to lead an entire nation out of slavery and into freedom. Moses saw his failures and weaknesses as things that disqualified him from serving God, and yet God saw his background and weaknesses as part of Moses’ preparation to be one of the greatest leaders in human history. God loves to press into our deepest wounds and insecurities only to use them to transform us and give us a new identity.

​This summer, Kensington is once again going to the movies. Join us for movie clips and popcorn as we extract Biblical principles from some recent blockbusters! Great stories connect people, and they often reflect the gospel. Journey with us – and bring a friend – for this three-week series as we take lessons from Incredibles 2, Mission: Impossible– Fallout, and Captain Marvel!

Note: Due to copyright, we will not be streaming this series - but not to worry, we will be streaming one of our favorite series from the past few years.

When you have an experience with something that is unusual, something that is other-worldly, the natural response is to be amazed, to wonder, to question. True wonder can turn into life-long joy when we properly respond to the extraordinary!

The life of Jesus was filled with ordinary moments that turned extraordinary. Like flickering field of magical light, Jesus turned ordinary things into extraordinary things from food and water, to fish and trees and ultimately people. Jesus took ordinary people and made them extraordinary

Jesus wasn’t gathering interns for a profession or career in an industry, he was gathering interns for the extraordinary story of God-this is our ultimate purpose in life, to pattern ourselves after Jesus Christ, the master of life itself.

If you choose to believe, to follow Jesus, you will find yourself involved in an extraordinary story. We call this mission. The followers of Jesus, though they are nothing more than ordinary people, live on the edge, doing crazy good things in a field of mud and forgotten corn. The followers of Jesus get to see the backroom magic that leads to the joy and amazement of life.

We can be transformed from ordinary to extraordinary through knowing and believing Jesus Christ

When we look at our family, it’s easy to forget all that our parents have said to us, but we have been marked by the decisions that they have made.

For the better or worse, the actions of your family has shaped your future and your actions will shape the future of the generations to come. Each moment, each day, each decision will craft memories that will shape the heart of those closes to us. What memories are our actions creating?

We will discover practical principles for guarding our decision-making and learn how to design or our destiny rather that leaving it be crafted by default.

We will also take time to pray over families during the service to find hope, continue a legacy or to start a new one. You will also hear a Birmingham family, the Moores, on how God moved through a neighbor and their 8 year old daughter, to change their family legacy.

Not all heroes wear capes so we just need to dance like yo daddy. Don’t worry, that will all make sense on the 16th. This is a great weekend to celebrate all of the dads in our community.

We will also talk about the topic of approval. “When I grow up, I want to be just like you…” Most of us remember that emotion as a young child and those of us who are parents know the desire to feel approval from our kids. The desire for approval is a powerful internal driver that can both help and hurt our relationships.

Over time, we can feel crushed by the act of striving to be loved, to be respected, and to be the hero we want to be for our family.

Our worth, value, and significance can be wrapped up in our performance, which causes pain for those in our lives that matter the most. During this message, we’ll discover what lies at the core of the distance and disappointment in our family relationships and how to move to a healthier place.

All of us have a view of what the “perfect” family should look like, though none of us grew up in a perfect family. No matter how much you loved your family, you experienced part of their brokenness and experienced brokenness yourself. The temptation for us is to either hold God’s standard for family or diminish it to match our current reality. It’s easy to adjust the standard to make us feel better about our relationship with our spouse, our kids, our in-laws, and our own parents. The problem is that we are designed to hold the ideal and what’s real in tension rather than aligning them to a lower standard.
