A journey through the bible 1 and 2 Corinthians

Leave a reply

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

Leave a reply

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

Leave a reply

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

If fear guides you you can’t have God guide you at the same time

Today we want to talk about fear but specifically about If fear guides you, you can’t have god guide you at the same time.

Hi our friend

How was your week?

Our week was great and we had great times connecting with God. Those times are times when God often shares new ideas and more vision with us that we then see unfold over time. Often when God gives new vision I am trying to figure out how that could happen, when all I have to do is follow his lead. Also when I try to figure it out it can make me feel overwhelmed and just look at my abilities and strength which are way to small to make it happen and that can then lead to fear. But when I keep my eyes on him I can see how all things are possible because nothing is impossible for Him. With all that to say we have an exciting season ahead!

Also good things are happening in the now with new relationships being build and random encounters with people. The other day an accident happened outside our apartment and I saw it from my window.  I ended up walking to the driver gave him empathy and also encouraged him right in that moment. There are always opportunities to make a difference in this world, we just have to watch out for it.

We hope you also got inspired by this weeks video blog. Don’t forget to start your fear fast today and let God free you from fear!

God bless you

A journey through the bible the book of Deuteronomy

Leave a reply

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
