A journey through the bible 1 and 2 Corinthians

Today I want to share with you a few nuggets out of the books of Corinthians. I love those letters since they give in such a simple way many foundations for many life areas! Be encouraged!!

Hi our friend

All of us need community us included. And over the years we started to build it in different places like our neighborhood, YWAM and our church. One of them as an example is our church small group and we just have to say we love our church small group. It’s always so wonderful to connect with each other (still on zoom) and encourage each other. Our group is small but everyone became family to each other. This happened over time not in a moment. But its time well spend! We want to encourage you to invest time into relationships with people in your church, your neighbors and maybe work colleagues. It will take some effort on your side first but the blessing you and everyone involved gets out of it outweighs all of that! Start today

Also don’t forget to read the book of 1.-2. Corinthians and let Holy Spirit show you what things are important from it for your life right now!

God bless you

A journey through the bible the book of Joshua

One statement that describes Joshua very well is the one he made: As for me and my house we will serve the Lord. He was a man who looked at God for guidance and then out of that lead the Israelites. Let us give you an overview and some inside into the book with this video blog.

How was your week?

This week was special for me (Markus) since I got to celebrate the first father’s day with Caleb. I just love that little boy so much!! He is such a joy and I love being his Dad!!

Outside of that it was a wonderful week too. Life goes more and more back to normal which is awesome! We love it a lot to connect with people more and more face to face again after long times on the screen last year. Don’t get me wrong it was a blessing to connect with the screens but real life is just better. Make sure to use the opportunities you get to connect with neighbors and be blessed through it!!

Also spend time to read the book of Joshua and let it encourage you, that you can go forward courageous with god!

God bless you

A journey through the bible the book of Romans

Today I want to give you a little intro to the book of Romans. I really love how Paul shares his heart with people and really speaks into the life of that community. It’s also interesting how it is as relevant today as it was then.

Hi our friend

We hope you had a fantastic week!!  We hope you got to encourage a fellow believer and be encouraged through that too!!

Over the last while we have been working on many different projects for love your neighbor and now God helped us to bring all of those under one umbrella which is amazing. I am often amazed how God connects things in a way we never can. As an encouragement to you if God calls you to do something and it doesn’t make sense in the moment do it anyway he already knows how it will connect. During the last week we also got to connect with many more neighbors outside on walks and also while doing everyday things like grocery shopping. Its amazing how simple it can be to connect, we just have to be out. We want to encourage you this week to go outside and connect with neighbors.

Also don’t forget to read the book of Romans and let God speak into your life through it!

God bless you

A journey through the bible the book of Deuteronomy

Deuteronomy is in a sense a book of remembrance and guidance. Its almost like a best off Album of Moses. We will give you a little introduction into it in this video blog

Hi our friend

How was your week?

Last week felt like summer arrived and now it feels again as if the winter came back. San Francisco is such an interesting place with its extreme temperature changes. By the way, they can happen by just walking from one neighborhood to another lol. Besides the colder weather, we had a great week. Jen and I celebrated our 9th anniversary which was awesome! We both can’t believe it’s already been 9 years. Time flies! During the week I was also able to get more of the material for the upcoming workshops streamlined which is a real blessing. And we got to connect with different people in our community which was awesome too!!

Also this week dont forget to read the book of Deuteronomy and see how God works through people!

God bless you

A journey through the bible the book of Acts

Today I want to give you a little intro into the book of acts. I really love the stories of the disciples and how God moved through them. May it inspire you!!

Hi our friend

We hope you had a fantastic week!! If not start remembering all the good moments you had that will help you to get perspective.

All 3 of us are doing well here in San Francisco. I am back at things since last week and it has been a bit different with Caleb around. He sometimes just wants to be held and who could deny such a wish 🙂 ! So sometimes he is in his carrier on my chest while i am working on the computer!

This coming season is also really exciting with multiple love your neighbor workshops coming up with churches in the San Francisco area. We are also doing a few more things with our neighborhood church which is exciting! Pray for wisdom for us in this season on how to get things done!

And as we saw in the book of acts Jesus called each one of us to the great commission. Step into it by loving your neighbor and neighborhood and by being a genuine friend to them.

God bless you
