Righteousness

Leave a reply

This weeks video blog is about righteousness. Be inspired and encouraged!

Hi our friend

We hope you had a wonderful week!!

We love our church in San Francisco and have been part of it for 16 years. Last Sunday our church celebrated the 40th anniversary. Its amazing to see how God used it to empower, encourage and build up people for a long time. Even with many moves, challenging times, pastor changes and other circumstances the church kept going. I want to encourage you with that to be perseverant. Keep going in the things God called you to do and don’t give up in times of challenge.

And 2 more things at the end about the video: 1. Read Romans 4 and 5 and let God encourage you through them. 2. Let us ask God to show us where we still try to prove ourselves instead of leaning into his grace!

God bless you

Markus, Jen and Caleb

We are out so there is no update for the week but next week we will have one again!

We hope you got inspired by St Francis. Let us spend some time to look into the teachings of Jesus and see what we can learn from them and then let’s start living them out through our lives!

Hi our friend

Wow this week was a busy one but a wonderful one too. We got to spend time with many different people for birthdays, meetings, small groups or meals. It’s a blessing to be part of so many different communities. All of us need community! If you dont have a community ask God to guide you to one that you can be part of!

And one last thing at the end about the video: Reflect on the things you are doing and ask yourself which of those have an eternal perspective vs short term. Let us ask Jesus to help us to get his perspective for every part of our life!

God bless you

Gospel Carriers: St patrick

Over this next season we want to look at different people that helped spread the good news in the world. I picked a few of them that stuck out to me since there are so many. So these are not necessarily the most important ones they are just some I picked.

This weeks Gospel Carrier is St Patrick. Be encouraged by this wonderful man of God.

Hi our friend

We hope you had a wonderful week!!

We really enjoyed this week!! Here are 2 highlights. 1. We started or week with a big Labor Day BBQ. Different neighbors came and we were able to get to know some of the new ones. Everyone had a wonderful time. Then on Saturday we had another brunch which was wonderful too. We love being able to host more people again. Its such a blessing.

And don’t forget to ask yourself these questions based on the video: What is your response in hard times, are you drawing closer to jesus or further away. Ask yourself what can you learn in that time?
Who do you have to forgive and maybe start loving that enemy

?God bless you

Stories to think about: Jesus loves the little children

Leave a reply

Our story today is about how Jesus cares about the smallest people children (Matthew 19). Be inspired and encouraged!

By the way if you wonder about my longer hair in this video be assured I dont have some hair growth creme :). The video was recorded a little while ago in our old place but I haven’t posted it yet since there was no opening on the blog.

Hi our friend

Happy labor Day!

Last week was a admin heavier week which is ok. But even in those there are times to go for a walk and connect with neighbors outside. Also last week our local city college reopened and Caleb got to go with Jen to a free preschool program there. It is wonderful that we have access to things like that in SF. Tell us about your week?

Remember to pray about how you can love the little children maybe by serving in youth group, sports team or mentorship! Let God guide you!

God bless you

Markus, Jen and Caleb
