They have it all together. How many times have you thought that or heard someone else say it? People around us would probably be surprised to discover the kinds of fears we keep deeply buried away inside us. And no doubt we would be equally surprised to know theirs. I decided to do some research and made a short list of some serious and some funny ones that I found on the web: Ablutophobia—Fear of washing or bathing. Agoraphobia—Fear of open spaces or of

Turbota v Diji Summer Camps for Family Style Orphanages and Foster Families “Mom, we are going to Paradise…”- my daughter Sophia exclaimed, as we were about to enter the venue of the camp, "and it was not only about the conditions but also about the camps' program. It fills you up with good emotions, information, impressions," says Maria Sakvuk, foster mom. “I love this camp very much. I feel cosy here. Care in Action helped me to find more friends. Thanks to

The idea that we can call out to God and he’ll hear us is so much a part of our Christian culture. We cling to this promise, and the Bible affirms this truth. It is our understanding of God's nearness that transforms our lives. When Jesus began his teaching ministry, one of the first things he wanted his followers to know was that God desired to be understood as the heavenly Father, who was accessible to his creatures. Through Jesus, God

This might sound like an odd question, particularly from a pastor who’s trying to grow a new church, but it was one I was asked: Where does a Christian go to worship and serve God in Starnberg, or even Munich? It’s not easy to find a church that fits with what we were raised with, our style, or our schedule. This is true. If we were to choose a church of a mainline denomination, we might not understand the language or we

This Sunday, Philipp Meinecke will be preaching on Engaging in God’s Works. The Scripture text we'll be looking at is John 9:1-7 (NASB). For those unable to make it to church on Sunday, the outline is as follows: "What do we learn about the works of God and how we might engage in them?" Jesus sometimes uses circumstances as an opportunity to display the works of God in our lives (vv.1-3). Jesus invites us to join him in engaging the works

Dear Friends, First things first, there will be no service this Sunday. Instead, we'll be having a time of fellowship at the Christus Kirche in Gauting with a Sunday Barbeque. We'll start around 11:30, open ended. Invite your friends—this will be a community event and it will be great to see some new (and old) faces. Please let Mike know if you'll be there, and if so, how many you'll be so that we can plan the number of drinks etc. to provide. What

Evidence for Bible's Tower of Babel Discovered  "Biblical scholars have long debated whether the Tower of Babel really existed. Now, a remarkable stone tablet never before shown on film appears to settle that question," the Smithsonian magazine says, featuring the video on its website.   The tablet, which dates to about 600 B.C., is from the private collection of Norwegian businessman Martin Schøyen, and it includes the clearest image ever found of the Great Ziggurat of Babylon, according to Andrew George, professor of Babylonian

Dear Friends, This Sunday, the sermon title will be “Ascension: Not Just Another Holiday!” Using Scripture verses from Psalm 121:5-8 and Acts 1:1-11, we’ll be discussing God’s Providence and what it means for us in the here and now. The word “Providence” isn’t self-explanatory—it sounds a little technical, and maybe even be a bit too ponderous to draw our attention. So the best way to answer the question is to start with real-life examples of it: An elderly man in his car

Happy Mother's Day! Join us as we celebrate this special day. Mike Page will be preaching. SF Youth Ministry is using the book with the modest title of Absolutely Everything—so they will be covering a lot! Each session is game-based and the lure of Joshua Page dressing up each week as various characters is sure to entice many to be there! Besides Joshua, what makes this book different? Absolutely Everything! gives your 11–14s a foundation for understanding and using the Bible that
