DAY BY DAY


Christ our Passover lamb

"For our Passover lamb was slaughtered for us: Christ" (1. Cor. 5,7). We do not want to pass by nor overlook the great event that occurred in Egypt nearly 4000 years ago when God set Israel free from slavery. Ten plagues in 2. Mose beschrieben sind, waren nötig, um Pharao in seiner Sturheit, Arroganz und in seinem hochmütigen Widerstand gegen… Read more ➜

I'll be back and stay forever!

“It is true that I am going and preparing a place for you, but it is also true that I will come again and take you to me so that you too may be where I am (John 14,3). Hatten Sie jemals ein tiefes Verlangen nach etwas, das bald eintreffen sollte?

The first such moment took place in a beautiful garden where God placed Adam and Eve... Read more ➜

Mose 6,24 begins with: “The Lord bless you and keep you!” And Jesus often says in the “Beatitudes” in Matthew 5: “Blessed are…” Being blessed by God is a great privilege that… Read more ➜

Nothing to do

“How long will you continue to speak such things, and shall the words of your mouth be but a violent wind” (Job 8:2)? It was one of the rare days where I didn't have anything planned. So I thought to get my email inbox in order. So the number dropped from 356, soon to 123 emails, but then the phone rang; a community member asked a difficult question. Good… Read more ➜
