Hi our friend

We hope you had a wonderful week!!

Once a week I meet up with a Prayer team from our church to pray for different things together. We usually have some topics we know about but we also let Holy Spirit lead us in what to pray for. It is so amazing to see how many times he lead us to pray for things we didn’t think about. Often we saw and heard later that these were the things really needed and how God ended up bringing change. We want to encourage you through this to yes pray for things that you already have on your list, but then also make sure to give Holy Spirit time to point out or share things with you to pray for.

 

We also hope you got inspired through todays Gospel Carrier Eric Liddell. What giftings do you think God has given you and how can you use it to share the Gospel?

Have a blessed week

Hallo unser Freund

Wir hoffen, du hattest eine wunderbare Woche!!

Einmal pro Woche treffe ich mich mit einem Gebetsteam aus unserer Gemeinde, um gemeinsam für verschiedene Anliegen zu beten. Normalerweise haben wir einige Themen, die wir bereits kennen, aber wir lassen uns auch vom Heiligen Geist darin leiten, wofür wir beten sollen. Es ist so erstaunlich zu sehen, wie oft er uns dazu geführt hat, für Dinge zu beten, an die wir vorher gar nicht gedacht haben. Oft haben wir später gesehen oder gehört, dass genau das die Dinge waren, die wirklich gebraucht wurden, und wie Gott letztendlich Veränderung gebracht hat. Wir möchten dich dadurch ermutigen, ja, für die Dinge zu beten, die du bereits auf deiner Liste hast, aber dann auch darauf zu achten, dem Heiligen Geist Zeit zu geben, dir weitere Anliegen zu zeigen oder mitzuteilen, für die du beten kannst.

Wir hoffen, dass du durch die Geschichte von Eric Liddell inspiriert wurdest. Stell dir die Frage welche Gaben Gott dir gab und wie du diese einsetzen kannst um das Evangelium zu verbreiten?

Gott segne Dich

Jesus most famous Sermon Part 7 Love your Enemies

by

Today’s topic of Jesus most famous Sermon is Love your Enemies in Matthew 5.43-48. Be inspired!

Hello our friend

We hope you had a wonderful week!

This last weekend was really special. I got to be part of officiating the wedding of a young man and his now wife. I technically met him first when he was a child and I helped with a day program at a church in his neighborhood, but dont remember that. Then about 12 years ago by that time he was grown up we connected through a mutual friend and I have been meeting with him regularly talking about questions he had about God and life and just general things. He became a wonderful friend over all those years. 2 month ago I was at his ordination ceremony of him becoming one of the Pastors at the church we had the day camp at. And Saturday I got to share the sermon at his wedding. I love how God works!! With that I want to encourage you that if God puts someone in your life who He is calling you to invest in do it!!

 

One reminder from the video at the end: Ask Jesus for strength through the Holy Spirit to love your enemies. Start to pray for them and ask Jesus to show you His heart for that person.

God bless you

Gospel Carriers: Isobel Kuhn

by

This weeks Gospel Carrier is a woman from Canada who had a heart for a people group in China. Be inspired by her story.   If you want to read more of her story the book Christian Heros then and now Isobel Kuhn on the roof of the world is a great way to do that!

Hi our friend

We hope you had a wonderful week!!

We had such a wonderful time at the retreat of a church in San Francisco who invited us to share for the weekend. We had a group of 35 people who we shared with about loving your neighbor and building community right where you are at. So much good conversation was had and so many good plans to start loving the ones around them started. What a wonderful time!!

We also hope you got inspired through todays Gospel Carrier Isobel Kuhn. Ask yourself these 2 questions: Where is God calling you to? Do you have a personal relationship with Jesus or is it more just head knowledge? If this is the case start a personal relationship with Him!!

Have a blessed week

[:en]Today’s topic of Jesus most famous Sermon is eye for an eye in Matthew 5.38-42. Be inspired!

Hello our friend

We hope you had a wonderful celebration of Jesus resurrection during last Easter weekend and the week leading up to it!! I was greeting at church that Sunday and we had so many people come visit from all over who were visiting San Francisco. All of them wanted to be at church to celebrate that special day. But lets all remember that all year around that Jesus is alive!!

One reminder from the video at the end: Ask Jesus to help you to react in love.

God bless you

Markus, Jen and Caleb[:de]

Das heutige Thema von Jesus berühmtester Predigt ist Auge um Auge in Matthäus 5.38-42.

Hallo unser Freund

Wir hoffen, dass ihr am vergangenen Osterwochenende und in der Woche davor eine wunderbare Feier der Auferstehung von Jesus hattet!! Ich habe an diesem Sonntag in der Kirche die Menschen begrüßt, und es kamen so viele Besucher aus aller Welt, die San Francisco besucht haben. Sie alle wollten an diesem besonderen Tag in der Kirche sein und feiern. Aber lasst uns das ganze Jahr über daran denken, dass Jesus lebt!!

Zum Schluss noch eine Erinnerung zum Video: Bitte Jesus darum dir zu helfen in Liebe zu reagieren.

Gott segne dich

[:en]Todays video is about someone who deeply loved Jesus. Find out what this is about and be inspired and encouraged!

Hi our friend

He is risen, He is risen indeed!! With these words we want to wish you a blessed Easter

We hope you had a wonderful Holy Week and Easter. Ours was busy but really good. We had a brunch, this time at a neighbors house which was fun! We also hosted our small group were we are talking about Isaiah and so fitting this week about the suffering servant pointing to Jesus. We also spend time to prep more for the retreat and things are really coming together. And then of course we will have a Easter celebration with our church today (Sunday).

But in all the business Jen and I both found time to reflect on the things this week is really about Jesus suffering, death and resurrection. I feel every year that truth sinks in deeper.

Also don’t forget like we heard in the video Jesus is calling for you too! He loves you so much!!

God bless you

Markus, Jen and Caleb[:de]Im heutigen Video geht es um jemanden die eine tiefe Liebe für Jesus hatte. Finde heraus um was es hier geht und sei ermutigt und herausgefordert!

Hallo unser Freund

Er ist auferstanden, Er ist wahrhaftig auferstanden! Mit diesen Worten wünschen wir dir ein frohes und gesegnetes Osterfest!

Wir hoffen, ihr hattet eine wunderbare Karwoche und ein gesegnetes Osterfest. Unsere Woche war voll, aber wirklich gut. Wir hatten einen Brunch, dieses Mal bei Nachbarn, was viel Spaß gemacht hat!

Mit unserem Hauskreis sprachen wir über Jesaja – und wie passend war es das diese Woche der leidenden Knecht in Jesaja 50 dran war, der auf Jesus hinweist. Gott hat dies perfekt geplant für uns da wir dieses Buch nun seit über einem Jahr lesen und dieser Text in der Karwoche dran war! Wir haben uns auch Zeit genommen, weiter fuer die Freizeit vorzubereiten, und alle Dinge kommen wirklich gut zusammen. Und natürlich werden wir heute (Sonntag) noch eine Osterfeier mit unserer Gemeinde haben.

Doch bei all der Geschäftigkeit haben Jen und ich beide Zeit gefunden, über das nachzudenken, worum es in dieser Woche wirklich geht: Jesu Leiden, seinen Tod und seine Auferstehung. Ich habe das Gefühl, dass diese Wahrheit jedes Jahr tiefer in unser Herz sinkt.

Vergiss auch nicht was wir im VIdeo gesagt haben Jesus ruft auch dich!!! Er liebt dich so sehr!

Gott segne dich

Markus, Jen und Caleb​[:]
