Hi our friend

We hope you had a wonderful week!!

Many times life is busy for you and for us. So its important to find times of rest to refresh. Remember how Jesus withdrew from the crowds to spend time with his father. Its important for each one of us to make time for rest if it’s our weekly sabbath or the occasional vacation. Those times help us to get away from the every day things and to just stop. After we come back refreshed and also more energetic to the things God calls us to do. Last week we got to do that. We got to get away for a vacation and God refreshed us during this time. It was wonderful. We want to encourage you to set aside a weekly Sabbath to rest and also from time to time a vacation to really get away.

We also hope you got inspired through todays Gospel Carrier Dietrich Bonhoeffer. Pray about where God calls you to stand up for the truth.

Have a blessed week

Jesus most famous Sermon Part 8 Giving

Today’s topic of Jesus most famous Sermon is Giving in Matthew 6.1-4. Be inspired!

Hello our friend

We hope you had a wonderful week!

I love studying the bible together and hear the thoughts of others that read along. This is what we do with our small group. We almost finished reading through the book of Isaiah and it has been so encouraging to hear what stuck out to each one. We want to encourage you to read the bible together with others and then share with each other what stuck out to you!!

One reminder from the video at the end: Ask Jesus who or what to give to and also ask him to show you and help you to have the right motivation to give.

God bless you

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

Jesus most famous Sermon Part 7 Love your Enemies

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

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
