The Apostle Peter, hours before the arrest and phony trial of Jesus leading up to His crucifixion, had boasted of his love for Jesus, his courage, and his willingness to even die for Jesus.

A very brief few hours later, succumbing to fear, peer pressure, the possibility even of danger, Peter denied he even knew Jesus!

What a spectacular fail! Have you ever failed Jesus?

After the crucifixion and resurrection, within days, Jesus appeared to some of the disciples at the Sea of Galilee after they had fished all night. He exhorted them to try the other side of the boat! Most fishermen would see the humor ... and perhaps crazy ... in that! ☺

Then is recorded an interaction with the disciples for a bit on the beach, and then a one-on-one interaction with Peter. It is found in John 21.
Jesus asked Peter a piercing, convicting, stirring question! He asks every disciple since, in one way or another!

Flathead Ekklesia plans to gather in Kalispell at 10 am Mountain Time, to wrestle with Jesus' question to all believers.

We plan to broadcast life here on Facebook at Flathead Ekklesia, on our https://flatheadekklesia.org website, and on You Tube. If you are in the Valley come on out.

8-16-26 Good Sunday morning!! I have been much blessed to have taken three backcountry horse trips into the Bob Marshall Wilderness this year! One more was, until yesterday, scheduled, but forest fires and recent surgery upon one of the planned participants has cancelled that!

This summer has been a whirlwind of activity; getting ready to be gone, which is no small task; being gone; and recovering from having been gone ... also no small task! ☺
I have been stunningly blessed to be able to do things like this, and ... MAN, what a country! What a mighty God we serve! ☺

And, this morning, due to the planned schedule of my recent trip, one of our Elders at Flathead Ekklesia is preaching in my place! AND it happens that Flathead Ekklesia is not meeting at our regular meeting place but at the home of some of our early founding members, who can no longer get out due to strokes and physical limitations. We are taking the service to them this morning! 400 EGAN ROAD

This means that we are unable to broadcast live THIS SUNDAY ONLY as we have done for the past number of years.

If you are local, come and join us for our 10 am service and "dinner on the grounds" following at 400 EGAN ROAD! Bring what you have ... or just come as you are. Lawn chairs could be helpful!

We plan to be back to as close to "normal" as we get next Sunday and ongoing ... Lord willin'! Pastor Larry

06-07-26 Jesus coming to earth in human form, the entire "Christ event," is the focal point of ALL human history! All other kingdoms, nations, empires, people groups, wars, conquests, and all the rest, are nothing compared to this one singular event that God ordained and foretold centuries before in profound detail ... that could ONLY be understood once having happened.

Mankind is finite! We all have a beginning and an earthly end. Everyone is born ... and everyone dies. Between the beginning and the physical end, as "creatures" Created by God in His image, we have choices about almost everything in life.

Those choices either assist us in our lives, or hinder, even destroy us. And others, also having choices, impact our lives as well.

Governments can and do attempt to limit those choices depending upon the philosophy or "religion" of the people governing. Some limitations by civil authorities are God approved, God ordained, God honoring! Restraining what God defines as evil is HIS purpose for government. When men rebel against God, and promote what He clearly has spoken against, the government becomes an actual accomplice of evil.

But the existential question for all men for the past 2000 years is "Who WAS, IS, and/or SHALL BE Jesus?" No question on earth is so significant. Anyone with even a thimble full of sense realizes that "no one is getting outta here alive!" Look in the mirror. Look around! EVERY person in EVERY generation dies ... and then what!?

MOST folks and cultures have believed that there is "something else" beyond this life! Why!? Well, God "baked it into the cake" at Creation.

Jesus clearly told us who He is, who we are, what is coming next, and has made everyone eligible to live with Him forever! But to realize our eligibility, we must humble ourself before Him and ask Him for mercy and grace and forgiveness!

Flathead Ekklesia plans to gather at 10 am Montana Time to look at several elements of Jesus life AFTER the crucifixion, but before His resurrection. The entire Christ Event is to show God's love, mercy, grace, .... AND judgment!

We plan to broadcast live here on Facebook, on our website, and on YouTube.

05-10-26 Today is "Mother's Day!" I have been profoundly blessed by my mother, Rena's mother, and several generations of Godly mothers! There is no way to even calculate the difference between the influence of Godly mothers and others.

Every person has had a mother, and hence "Mother's Day" brings often tender ... and often terrible ... memories and emotions. Whatever our experience has been, God will use to bless, strengthen, encourage, and grow all who will draw near to Him. He can use both great, and terrible examples to bless us!

There is a profound difference between “on purpose” motherhood, and “whatever” motherhood! Christian women are, and are to be, different than your garden variety female that has children!

God has not left us without instruction in this area, but the "world," our own "flesh," and the "Devil," continue to resist what God has said about the home and family! There has been a concerted effort since the fall of man in the Garden, to destroy the family! In recent days in our own nation as well as the world it has been ramped up exponentially.

But God's value system is NOT man’s! Jesus quoted Psalm 118:22 “The stone which the builders rejected has become the chief cornerstone.” Mark 12:10 And said, “What is highly valued among men is detestable in God's sight.” Luke 16:15

What is needed desperately in our world is for those who believe in Jesus ... to BELIEVE in Jesus and implement the attitudes and perspectives He taught and passed on to the Apostles! The "world" CANNOT ... because it WILL NOT, ... "get it," ... but WE must!

Flathead Ekklesia plans to gather in our Kalispell location and live online on Facebook, You Tube, and our website, at 10:00 am Montana time to look into God's Word to discover a "curriculum" for being, ... and discipling others to be ... Godly mothers.

Today is the National Day of Prayer! And, ... man ... our nation needs it! Wars, strife, conflict around the world ... and right here at home in the USA!

These are "pregnant" days! Great good "could" emerge, if things go as well as possible in a fallen world. OR the wheels could come entirely off and great devastation could be coming.

Ephesians 6:12 "For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places."

God is the ultimate authority, and He and He alone is able to "fix," "disrupt," alter, or end the schemes of these "principalities and powers."

Our enemy is NOT one another. NOT mere political differences of opinion. NOT even foreign nations or ideologies that seek to "steal and kill and destroy." But all of these things can be used BY the ENEMY to do his/their evil intents.

Flathead Ekklesia is gathering with millions of other believers today at noon Montana time to pray for God to intervene in our world and nation, and our own lives!

If you are local and able to come and join with us, we welcome you.
We also plan to be online live on Facebook, on You Tube, and on our Flathead Ekklesia website.
