Dear Church family and friends,
We are not promised an easy life. In fact, we are told in John 15 : 18 – 27, what we are promised is experiences similar to those of Jesus – especially in terms of how we as believers are treated in society. In a world where hate seems to be easier to express than love, here we are as God’s children trying to live a life which is reflects the love He has for us. Pastor Johannes further explores this in his sermon from Sunday, and reminds of what to do when the world seems utterly determined in isolating us because of our faith: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VmusBtRytBA.
The tech guys had a hard time of it on Sunday when the Zoom livestream failed to broadcast. We would like to apologise again to those who were patiently waiting for the action to start. As you can see, a solution to recording the sermon was found, but it is audio only.
This week in Church…
Young Adults’ Bible Study (YABS) meets on Tuesday evenings at 7pm. More information can be found in the WhatsApp group or by asking Pastor Johannes, Mona or Oliver. Another way you can get in touch is by writing to yabs@ibc-giessen.org.
Mid-Week Bible Study continues on Wednesday evening at 7pm via Zoom. They are looking at the Kings of Israel, so grab your Bible and join in.
