the year of RestoratioN 2025
Lamentations 5:21 | Turn us back to You, O Lord, and we will be ; our days as of old restoredrenew
God bless you church family and Partners. I am so excited about the year of 2025 and God has spoken to me clearly about our direction as a ministry this year. During my time of prayer back in September of 2024, the Lord told me that 2025 would be the year of Restoration. I believe that this is the year when God restores the people of God back to their original design and place in Him. The first thing we have to do is understand that restoration is really about “God putting things back together the way it was like in the beginning.” The Wycliffe version of our theme scripture says it quite well:
Lamentations 5:21
Wycliffe Bible Lord, convert thou us to thee, and we shall be converted; make thou new our days, as at the beginning. (Lord, turn thou us back to thee, and we shall come back to thee; renew thou our days, like at the beginning.)
The key question is, how was it in the beginning for mankind? To understand this, all we need to do is read our Bible, we don’t need a history book or any other forms of information. Simply take your Bible and find out what it has to say about your beginnings.
Mark 10:6 New King James Version But from the beginning of the creation, God ‘made them male and female.’
As we know, God made man in the beginning. Further we understand that God is and was a detailed creator. When God made man, He made him perfectly with a dynamic skill set. Adam and Eve were “flawless” before the fall. When we think about things being restored “like at the beginning”, we must understand that mankind in the beginning “was fail proof”. Adam was a literal genius. Hear one of the first assignments that God gave him:
Genesis 2:19-20
New King James Version 19 Out of the ground the Lord God formed every beast of the field and every bird of the air, and brought them to Adam to see what he would call them. And whatever Adam called each living creature, that was its name. 20 So Adam gave names to all cattle, to the birds of the air, and to every beast of the field. But for Adam there was not found a helper comparable to him.
Now notice from the verse above that Adam was given the assignment to name “every animal.” This was no “small feat”. According to my research, there are at least 1.7 million land species not to mention those in the water! Adam had a brain bandwidth “beyond the natural” because Adam was made “like God” in the “image of God.” Then we understand there was a fall of man and now thank God that Jesus redeemed us. What does this mean for our restoration?
In 2025, God is going to do His part, but we must be imitators of God or act out the power of God that is within us in the earth realm. God has restored us to optimal ability to win in life and fulfill his ordained purpose from our original design. Hear Paul’s letters about imitating God:
Ephesians 5:1 Amplified Bible
Therefore become imitators of God [copy Him and follow His example], as well-beloved children [imitate their father];
Every child of God needs to realize that you are a “copy of Him”, made in God’s image to accomplish things that only God can do through you. In the year of restoration, God is going to do “God like exploits” through the people of God. Don’t limit God this year, again “copy Him.”
Go all out and expect God’s original plan for your life to be restored! In the beginning “was the word”, and the Word (Jesus) was made flesh (John 1:1-14). I decree that there was a word over your life from the beginning that is going to be made flesh this year, expect it!
As many of you know we procured the land behind our Grace House in the month of December; another project done “DEBT FREE”! A special “thank you” to all my partners for helping to bring this vision to pass. There is so much we can do with more. Don’t stop praying for the vision and giving towards the vision. We have some exciting things that we are believing for this year, not limited to national television, more campuses, land acquisitions, a new sanctuary, our school development, our plane and so much more.
Please keep KCC at the top of your list for donorship this year. Every dollar helps us to advance the Kingdom of God! Know that we love you and are praying for your success this year. This is your year of RESTORATION!
With Love,
Pastor Gabe
4 Tips for Budgeting God’s Way
“Satan plays on the mind of Believers to nudge you to allocate money in places and spaces by which it does not belong” – Pastor Rogers, A Greater Revelation of Financial Harvesting
Successfully creating and implementing a budget is more than a practical means to personal financial freedom. For Believers, it is an intentional display of faith for the “more” so that we can walk in God’s promise of being blessed to be a blessing. (Genesis 12:2) Please see below for a few tips on budgeting God’s way.
2
KeepGod first in your finances.
Remember, 1 Chronicles 29:14 says, “for all things come of Thee, and of Thine own have we given Thee.” It is God who has given us everything we have therefore, our hearts should be inclined to faithfully honor Him first in the tithe and offerings.
3
Good budgeting should also include a savings plan for future expenses. By planning ahead, we can avoid unnecessary financial stress. Plan for the future.
Seek the wisdom of God. 1
Essentials are first on the list.
Pastor Rogers teaches us in his latest book that the line items on our budget should be in pecking order. Essentials such as the tithe and offerings, mortgage, food, and gas should be listed before optional items like shopping, trips, etc.

“Ask God what His plan is for your money. He knows what is up ahead and He knows how to supernaturally cause increase to come.” – Pastor Rogers
Always remember to “sow some, save some, and eat some”. Happy Budgeting!

It was a day filled with prayer, celebration, and the anticipation of the incredible things God will do through this new chapter. Stay tuned for more updates as we continue to build and grow!
God Loves You
Ephesians 3:18 - 19 (NLT)
18 And may you have the power to understand, as all God's people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love is. 19 May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully. Then you will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God.
(insert your name), God's love for you is completely unconditional. This means
sins, nor your mistakes). Even if you have done things that you regret, He still loves you and He wants to have a relationship with you. God loves you personally. He cares about your life, and He wants to be a part of it. If you do not fully understand how much He loves you, your relationship with Him will be hindered. Do not allow the devil to make you think God does not love you or that you must earn His love. That is a lie. Even

New Year New Home Setting Realistic Goals for
Homeownership
Homeownership is a significant milestone, but achieving it requires careful planning and realistic expectations. Start by evaluating your financial situation, considering the total costs of buying and maintaining a home. Beyond the mortgage, account for property taxes, insurance, and repairs. Establishing a budget that includes a savings plan for a down payment and closing costs is essential to staying financially secure throughout the process.
Once you have a clear financial picture, research the housing market in your desired area. Prices and options can vary widely, so understanding what fits within your budget helps set realistic expectations. This is also the time to contact a trusted real estate agent. A knowledgeable agent can guide you through the process, helping you find homes that match your criteria and budget while providing valuable insights into the local market.
Most importantly, remember to pray, consult God, and seek godly counsel throughout your journey. Ask for His wisdom and direction as you make decisions, and surround yourself with trusted advisors who share your values. By inviting God into your plans and seeking advice from those with experience and faith, you’ll not only set realistic goals but also experience peace and clarity as you work toward homeownership.
Insurmountable Manifestations
These two words have proven to be true regarding the prophecy I received: the house was mine, it was my harvest. Those words were spoken to me by Pastor Rogers who has never failed to manifest what God has spoken to and through him.
During the time I received that word, I owned two houses and two Porsches but I was looking at a house with a three car garage because I desired another Porsche. Right around the corner from my former home were four beautiful homes built in front of the woods. They appeared to be built for a wealthy family that wanted to live close to each other. The last one built, with its three car garage, remained unsold for eight months. That was enough time for me to walk through it on five different occasions, watch the price drop three times, and elevate my faith to believe that God wanted me to have it.
The culmination of insurmountable manifestations included three real estate transactions in a miraculously short amount of time: a selling of my former home, a closing of my new home and a payoff of my rental property. Praise God! What I have learned is to have faith in God, to believe His prophets in order to prosper, and be prepared for a fixed fight to possess what rightfully belongs to us.

member Spotlight
Say hello to Brian Sparks! Brian heard about KCC in September of 2023, as a senior in college at JCSU. Minister Reggie was on campus at a KCC tabling event and God led him to have a conversation with Brian. During their brief conversation, Minister Reggie invited him to KCC for movie night later that same day. Brian attended the event. He also attended Sunday service the same weekend. On September 24th, 2023 he joined KCC and has been consistently attending services since September of 2024.
Brian says there are many reasons he was led to join KCC but the most impactful is feeling the presence of God after listening to Pastor Gabe preach one Sunday. He felt God was with Pastor and the words he spoke were the truth. After that service, Brian knew KCC was the right church for him. He says Minister Reggie’s unwillingness to give up on him and constant encouragement have made an impact as well.
Brian’s hobbies and interests are changing as he grows in faith. He is still learning what his new hobbies are. A few of his hobbies are playing basketball, working out, driving and listening to music. To date, his new favorite hobby is reading his Bible.
Prayer of salvation
If you do not know Jesus as your Lord and Savior, pray the following prayer in faith, and you will be saved!
Dear Heavenly Father, I come to You in the Name of Jesus. According to Romans 10: 9-10, Jesus I ask you to come into my heart and be Lord over my life. Your word says that "if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God has raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation." I confess that Jesus is Lord, and I believe in my heart that God raised Him from the dead.
I AM SAVED!

Christmas fellowship Vintage Christmas
The annual Christmas Fellowship took place on December 17th, 2024, at the City Club at Gibson Mill in Concord. It was an incredible day filled with laughter, love, and connection, as members came together to enjoy the holiday season.
Attendees enjoyed brunch, participated in a variety of fun games, warm fellowship, and had the chance to win numerous raffle prizes.
One of the highlights of the event was the vendor booths, where members had the opportunity to shop and support talented independent business owners from our congregation, including many of our youth.

If using fresh blueberries, give them a good rinse. For frozen blueberries, there’s no need to thaw them. Peel the banana. If using a frozen banana, its best to have it sliced before freezing to make it easier to blend.
Blend it up. Add the blueberries, banana, peanut butter, flaxseed, and almond milk to your blender. Blend on high until everything is well combined and creamy. If it is too thick for your liking, add a splash more milk and blend again. If it is too thin, add a few more blueberries or a bit of ice and blend to your desired thickness.
Serve and enjoy. Pour the smoothie into a cup. Garnish with a few extra blueberries or a sprinkle of crushed peanuts for a crunchy texture if desired.
Living the Exceptional Life
As we em ark upon 2025, we should look forward to living the exceptional life. What does it mean to live the exceptional life? One definition of exceptional in the dictionary is etter than average, superior.
As Christians, we should e living a life that is superior and a ove average. Recently, Pastor Rogers did a devotional on “Living the Exceptional Life where he defined the exceptional life as “a life of favor in ALL areas of our lives. We should have exceptional health, exceptional wealth, and exceptional relationships.
An exceptional life is when you live life off the promises of God. A part of getting to the exceptional life is changing our attitude and disposition efore the promise even comes.
We should have a praise pre-manifestation and post-manifestation. Hannah gave us an example of this in 1 Samuel 1:18 and 1 Samuel 2:1. She was elieving for a child & she praised efore and after it came to pass.
Per Pastor Rogers, living the exceptional life requires four things:
Gratefulness-remain reflective of the good and thankful for the deliverance from the ad
Expectatio -always have something good in the “oven of life. (goals and pro ects
Talk-e gage i co ve satio s a out the good. (where you’ve een and where you’re going
Get i you pu pose. It will eve let you down.
Let’s make 2025 an exceptional year and the start of us Living The Exceptional Life!

2. Mental Health
Mental health is vital for overall well-being. The enemy often attacks the mind to distract or get you off track. Negative thoughts can have a ripple effect, impacting our
habits involves caring for the spirit, mind, and body. Scriptures provide valuable ways on how to maintain and value ourselves. Through proper self-care, we strengthen our connection to God, others, and ourselves, leading to a more fulfilling and peaceful life.
