The Shofar, Worship and Jericho

Leave a reply

Today we are talking about worship and how it changes things. Be encouraged! Also a correction the game was called journey to Jerusalem not Jericho!

Hi our friend

We hope you had a wonderful week!

Doing things as a community is wonderful. Jen and I are doing a parenting class right now with our church. In the class are parents from our church with young kids. There is a time of teaching but there is a big time of sharing and encouraging each other in moments of success as well as moments of challenge and everything in between. Doing that together helps everyone to not feel alone but supported by each other. This is also true for loving your neighbor. When you build community where you live, people including you are having others in their life they can share with and feel supported by. We want to encourage you to think about what steps you want to take today to deepen or build the community around you.

A call to action at the end of the video: Make worship an important part in your life and set time aside for it!

God bless you

Markus, Jen and Caleb

This weeks Gospel Carrier rode a lot to spread the Gospel. Be inspired by his story.

Hi our friend

We hope you had a wonderful week!!

This week had a special moment of being able to connect with an old ywam friend who moved away but is now moving back to the city. One thing that encouraged me in this was that friendships don’t have to end when someone moves to somewhere else. It takes an effort to stay connected long distance, but it is worthied. We want to encourage you to connect this week with 1 friend that moved away and you lost contact with.

We also hope the video about Francis Asbury inspired you. Take this Action Step: Ask God where he calls you to. If you don’t have a clear direction keep doing the things he already spoke clearly about Loving your neighbor or how John Wesley said: “Do All the Good You Can, By All the Means You Can, In All the Ways You Can, In All the Places You Can, At All the Times You Can, To All the People You Can, As long as Ever You Can!”

God bless you

Markus, Jen and Caleb

Hi our friend

We hope you had a wonderful week!

We talked about this before but a wonderful way to connect and get to know your neighbors is through hosting a brunch. Its such a fun thing to do and doesn’t just connect neighbors to you but also to each other. We just had another one on Saturday and had so much fun with everyone. We want to encourage you to set a goal to invite your neighbors for one brunch in the next 2 months!!

Alos take this action from the video: Spend time to meditate on Psalm 23 and ask God to show you the areas where you had your trust in the wrong leader or thing.

God bless you

This weeks Gospel Carrier is a man who wrote a very famous hym but there is so much more to his story then this. Be inspired by John Newtons story.

Hi our friend

We hope you had a wonderful week!!

We are out on a vacation that’s why there is no update this week. But enjoy the video!!

We hope you got inspired by John Newton. Take this Action Step: Ask God for the “John newtons” in your life that walked away from God and help them to come back to him. Also who are the “William Wilberforces” in your life that need a mentor to encourage them to do what God called them to do?

God bless you

Hi our friend

We hope you had a wonderful week!

Celebrations are important even if they are delayed. This week we celebrated with a friend from the neighborhood his 90s birthday. It already happened a month ago but Jen and Caleb were sick at the time so we couldn’t celebrate on the day. So we delayed it but didn’t forget it. It was a wonderful time eating dinner together with him and celebrating 90 years of life. When you think of the Israelites you notice that they celebrate many different festivals. The festivals are reminders of Gods faithfulness in a specific instance. Since they celebrate them regularly, they get reminded over and over again. Lets start celebrating the faithfulness of God in our life by celebrating milestones and special moments and maybe some of the old Jewish festivals!

Also dont forget the call to action at the end of the video: Put the second greatest commandment into practice in your life and be part of seeing loneliness and isolation go down and see people being part of your family!

God bless you

Markus, Jen and Caleb
