Ist Jesus vom Tod auferstanden?

Image
  Vor ein paar Monaten, erzählte mir ein Freund (nennen wir ihn Herr Müller) von einem peinlichen Vorfall. Er lebte, in einem kleinen Dorf und jeder kannte jeden. Er hatte einen Nachbarn (nennen wir ihn Herrn Schmidt). Herr Müller und Herr Schmidt waren sehr freundliche Familienväter. Jeder hatte zwei Töchter. Herr Müller hatte einen kleinen Dackel, während Herr Schmidt, ein paar Kaninchen hatte. Eines Tages wurde Herr Müller durch einen erschreckenden Anblick geweckt. Sein Hund hatte eines der kleinen Kaninchen im Maul. Sie können sich vorstellen, wie entsetzt er war. Sein Hund war über den Zaun zum Nachbarhaus gesprungen und hatte dort irgendwie ein eingesperrtes Kaninchen angegriffen. Herr Müller fühlte sich sehr schlecht dabei, aber er hatte nicht den Mut, Herrn Schmidt zu sagen. Er dachte sich einen schlauen Plan aus. Er nahm das Kaninchen, wusch es ab, schüttelte seine Fell mit einem Fön auf und schminkte es, um die Bisswunden zu entfernen. Er band seinen Hund an einem Ort an, de

Supremecy of Jesus Christ

This is a short fast paced series. Here is the transcript of the message. He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation.   For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities-all things were created through him and for him.  And he is before all things, and in him all things hold together.  And he is the head of the body, the church. He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in everything he might be preeminent. For in him all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell,  and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether on earth or in heaven, making peace by the blood of his cross.  (Colossians 1:15-20, ESV) Colossians chapter 1:15.  He is image of the invisible. God, the first born of all creation. You know, sometimes when we meet someone you would say oh he looks like his father, she looks like a mother but You know, that is not. A perfect image, they're

O Come, All You Unfaithful Song by Sovereign Grace Music

Image
A few Christmases ago, I came across this new carol. Lisa Clow is the author along with Bob Kauflin from Sovereign Grace Music. I love the lyrics as they contrast the classic hymn "O Come All Ye Faithful". Not every Sunday over the last few years had been good. There had been really hard Sundays, Mondays, Tuesdays to Sundays and some time for a period of time. Last weeks we went through some major changes and  feeling of doubt filled me. The Joy of Christmas is not that we have been faithful but God has been faithful despite our unfaithfulness.   This carol tells us to Come. Come to Jesus, knowing we are not alone. He knows us, our state and our need and He is sufficient and enough for us. That is a promise we can hold on to. That I can hold on to in this and every season. There is a story behind this carol and I have the extract below. I was struggling. It had been a long year and a half. Finances were stressful, I miscarried twins, and on top of it I was battling a deep rel

Trees of Life: do they exist? - Richard Buggs

Image
Prof. Richard Buggs an evolutionary biologist and molecular ecologist talks about how Darwinian tree of life may be wrong and insists that we need to look deeper into the fact that we cannot explain everything with evolutionary biology and may be it is time that we take another look at the Biblical view of a designer. You can watch this brilliant talk on YouTube Read more: https://richardbuggs.com/ Richard has published on a variety of evolutionary processes including: natural selection, speciation, hybridisation and whole genome duplication. The birch species Betula buggsii is named after him. Richard is a Christian, and sometimes blogs on issues where biology and Christianity intersect.

Luke 16:1-15 | Being wise in an evil generation

  Jesus talks about the bad manager and from this Jesus has a very important lesson to teach us. Luke 16:1-15  He also said to the disciples,  “There was a rich man who had a manager, and charges were brought to him that this man was wasting his possessions.   And he called him and said to him, ‘What is this that I hear about you? Turn in the account of your management, for you can no longer be manager.’   And the manager said to himself, ‘What shall I do, since my master is taking the management away from me? I am not strong enough to dig, and I am ashamed to beg.   I have decided what to do, so that when I am removed from management, people may receive me into their houses.’   So, summoning his master's debtors one by one, he said to the first, ‘How much do you owe my master?’   He said, ‘A hundred measures of oil.’ He said to him, ‘Take your bill, and sit down quickly and write fifty.’   Then he said to another, ‘And how much do you owe?’ He said, ‘A hundred measures of wheat.
