Jesus most famous Sermon Part 10 Fasting

Today’s topic of Jesus most famous Sermon is Fasting in Matthew 6.16-18. Be inspired!

Hello our friend

We hope you had a wonderful week!

One of the days this week I went on a little adventure with Caleb. We rode a few local muni buses around town, hiked in Golden Gate park and walked along the beach. And just by being out and about we got to meet multiple people on the bus, in the park and on the beach. We want to encourage you to start conversations with people while you are outside. It’s a blessing and you bring often times a smile on someone’s face because they feel seen.

One reminder from the video at the end: We want to encourage you to read a book on fasting in the faith area and then set some time aside to fast. See the blessing in doing that!

God bless you

Hi our friend

We hope you had a wonderful week!!

Its sometimes so simple then writing a quick message to someone to make their day. I have seen that so many times when God put someone on my heart and I end up writing them a message how they respond with how encouraged they were. This is not even so much about how much you write in the message but more about the fact that they know you are thinking about them. We want to encourage you to act when God puts someone on your heart to send them a message or give them a quick call!!

We also hope you got inspired through todays Gospel Carriers Richard und Sabrina Wurmbrand. We want to encourage you to support a persecuted Christian through prayer and other support. If you don’t know any personally support an organization like voice of the martyrs who will then bring it to right spot!

Have a blessed week

Hello our friend

We hope you had a wonderful week!

This week was really a week of people which I really enjoyed. From set times with people to random encounters, this week had all of it. And many of the random encounters happen while being out in the neighborhood. While the weather is nice we want to encourage you to get out of the house and enjoy the beauty of meeting your neighbors and people from your area!

One reminder from the video at the end: Use the lords prayer as the foundation of your prayer time and as an outline to add the specifics in the different areas.

God bless you

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

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
