THE DRAGON BITES

Dave Anderson, Lead Pastor

Revelation 12 reveals the cosmic battle behind the Christmas story: a furious dragon (Satan) attempting to stop God’s plan of salvation but failing at every turn. Though the dragon has been decisively defeated through Christ’s death and resurrection, he still works to steal, kill, and destroy God’s people. Ephesians 6 calls believers to stand firm by receiving and putting on the full armor of God, living in God’s power rather than fear.

Step 4: LIVE IT OUT

ROOM 109 | LUNCH & CHILDCARE PROVIDED

No matter where you are at on your journey, Lifetrack is the FIRST step that we encourage you to participate in here at Kankakee First Church. This is where you will learn about WHO we are as a church, WHAT we believe, and HOW we are structured to help you along your spiritual journey.  Lifetrack is a four-step process that helps you discover your redemptive purpose and live the life God created for you. You will learn more about who we are as a church and who God has created you to be.
Lifetrack is also our onboarding for our DreamTeam.

At K1, we are committed to sharing the good news of Jesus with a world who does yet know him. We believe that the most effective way to do that is through "relational evangelism" - building relationships with lost people in our lives by Beginning with Prayer (Praying for them), Listening (Really listening), Eating (Sharing meals with them), Serving (showing up in meaningful ways, without limits), and Sharing our Story (The ways that God has shown up in our lives).

As we live this out, we want to hear stories of how this B.L.E.S.S. way of living is happening in your life!
