Fall is here. The Walks is covered in bright leaves. I love the feeling of leaves rustling past my feet. The residents of Kings Lynn are adorned in sweaters, scarves, and wooly jackets. The seagulls are so beautiful in the gloomy skies. The cherry tree in front of our house is bright pink, orange and yellow. The changing seasons remind me of this scripture.

“To everything there is a season, A time for every purpose under heaven: A time to be born, And a time to die; A time to plant, And a time to pluck what has been planted; A time to kill, And a time to heal; A time to break down, And a time to build up; A time to weep, And a time to laugh; A time to mourn, And a time to dance; A time to cast away stones, And a time to gather stones; A time to embrace, And a time to refrain from embracing; A time to gain, And a time to lose; A time to keep and a time to throw away; A time to tear, And a time to sew; A time to keep silent, And a time to speak; A time to love, And a time to hate; A time of war, And a time of peace.” Ecclesiastes 3:1-8

Life mirrors the seasons, and there's a purpose to every season we go through. We see children born, and we see children die. We see the farmers sow their seeds, and then fields ripe for the harvest. We see buildings torn down, for newer ones to rise in their place. We have times of weeping, and wonderful times of laughter with friends. We mourn, and we dance. We gain, and sometimes we lose everything. We see many young men and women shipped out to go fight in the middle east. As we go through this economic crisis we see people who had businesses, and investments, now homeless. Many of you who are reading have lost a home, or are barely holding on to the home you have.

My family was invited to the Vineyard church, by the Pastor and his Wife. During worship we sang a song called “Forever You.” I was in the process of writing this blog, and it fits perfectly. Here it is:

“Even in a world, where nothing stays the same.
There is still a truth, a truth that still remains.

Forever You will always be
Our God on high, the Lord in me
The King of hope, the Lord of love
The Prince of Peace, the Lamb of God


Even though the heart, always seems to change
There is still a love, a love that stays the same.

You will always be exalted
King of Kings and Holy Father!”


“Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.” Hebrews 13:8 Our hope, forever. No matter what. The death of a friend or family member, losing your job, house, a unsuspected illness. In ever circumstance He will always be God on high, the Lord in you. The King of hope, the Lord of love. The Prince of Peace, the Lamb of God. Place all you cares, and needs in His hands. Know that your circumstances are a season, but God is forever. During every season He is.

Please pray for us here at Calvary Chapel Kings Lynn, pray that as we enter our new building we would look to Jesus to supply our every need. Pray that through having this building we would be able to introduce the people of Kings Lynn to Jesus, and His unchanging love. That we would be able to comfort all with the comfort we have received from Jesus Christ. Pray that God would use the seasons we've been through. To minister to the people of Kings Lynn who have lost a house, business, or job. Who are sick, dying, or who have lost a loved one. All those who are in need, homeless, without food, or running water. To the widows, the orphans and abused children. That we would be a light in the darkness.

"Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any trouble, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God."
2 Corinthians 1:3-4
Amen, thank you.
