Wan daut bie irjentwäm von junt aun Weisheit fält, dan saul hee Gott doano froagen. Wiels Gott jiedrem jieren jeft un kjeenen schelt, woat am de Weisheit jejäft woaren. Lot am oba em Gloowen froagen, un nich twiewlen. Een Twiewla es soo aus eene Wal oppem Mäa, dee vom Wint han un häa jedräwen woat. Wäa twiewelt saul nich meenen, daut hee von Gott waut kjrieen woat. Een Twiewla es han un häa opp aul siene Wäaj.
Today, we gathered to honor and encourage fathers, recognizing both the joys and the weighty responsibilities that come with fatherhood. While we celebrated the dads among us, we also acknowledged that not everyone has had a positive experience with their own father. Yet, regardless of our past, we are called to look forward and strive to be great dads—men who bless their children and lead them well.
At the heart of being a great dad is walking in righteousness and integrity. This isn’t something we can achieve on our own; it’s only possible through surrendering to Jesus and allowing His Spirit to shape our lives. Our own efforts at righteousness fall short, but Christ’s righteousness transforms us from the inside out. When we walk in integrity, our children are blessed after us, as Proverbs 20:7 promises.
A recurring theme from the wisdom shared by many in our community is the importance of time. Our children should never have to compete with our work, hobbies, or friends for our attention. The story of “Joey’s dad” reminds us that the choices we make about where we invest our time have lasting consequences. Years down the road, the opportunities we missed to be present with our children can’t be reclaimed.
Great dads are Christ-centered leaders, bringing up their children in the training and instruction of the Lord. This requires patience, consistency, and a willingness to lead by example. Our actions speak louder than our words, and when we fail, we must be honest and explain the reasons behind our guidance. Encouragement is vital—cheering our kids on, recognizing their efforts, and meeting them where they are in their stage of life.
Masculinity, as God designed it, is not about being domineering but about leading, protecting, and loving our families well. We must give our children room to be kids, avoid comparing them to others, and treat them appropriately for their age and maturity. Compassion, honesty, and providing for our families are all part of the calling.
Fatherhood is a heavy responsibility, and at times it can feel overwhelming. But with God’s help, we can make choices that set our children up for blessing and success. If we need to change direction, today is the day to do it. May God give us the strength to be the dads our children need, and may our families and His kingdom be blessed through us.
Today, we gathered to reflect on the profound gift of the Holy Spirit, especially as we celebrate Pentecost—the day when God poured out His Spirit on all who call on Jesus as Lord. The story of “It Is Well With My Soul” reminded us that even in the deepest grief, God’s presence brings peace. This peace is not just a feeling, but the result of the Holy Spirit’s work within us, guiding, comforting, and transforming us from the inside out.
We explored the mystery of the Trinity—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—three distinct persons, yet one God. Just as we are made in God’s image with body, mind, and soul, God’s nature is reflected in us, though in a much greater and more mysterious way. The Holy Spirit, sent by Jesus after His ascension, is not limited by time or space. He is present with every believer, working in our hearts, shaping us to be more like Christ, and uniting us as God’s children.
Looking at Acts and Romans, we saw how the Spirit was poured out not just on the first Jewish believers, but also on Gentiles, breaking down barriers and making no distinction between people. The Spirit purifies our hearts by faith, not by outward signs or rituals. We are set free from the law of sin and death, and there is now no condemnation for those in Christ. The Spirit brings life, peace, and assurance that we belong to God.
Yet, life is still full of challenges, temptations, and moments of futility. The Spirit does not remove us from these struggles but walks with us through them, using every circumstance—good or bad—to conform us to the image of Christ. Even when we don’t know how to pray or what to do, the Spirit intercedes for us, aligning our hearts with God’s will. Our hope is not just for this life, but for the day when all things are made new. Until then, we are in transit, being refined and guided by the Spirit, destined for God’s kingdom.
Key Takeaways
The Holy Spirit is God’s personal presence within us, not just a distant force. He comforts, convicts, and guides us, making the reality of God’s love tangible in our daily lives. This indwelling is the fulfillment of God’s promise to never leave us as orphans, but to be with us always, shaping us from the inside out.
The unity and mystery of the Trinity remind us that God’s ways are higher than ours. Just as our body, mind, and soul are distinct yet inseparable, so too are Father, Son, and Spirit—each working together in perfect harmony. This mystery invites us to humility and wonder, recognizing that our understanding is limited, but God’s love and presence are limitless.
The Spirit’s work is not proven by outward signs or rituals, but by the inward transformation of our hearts. Faith, not performance, is what purifies us. When we try to add requirements or judge others by external measures, we risk missing the heart of the gospel, which is God’s grace freely given to all who believe.
The Spirit leads us through both our successes and our failures, using even our mistakes and anxieties to teach us dependence on God. When we ignore His gentle promptings, we often find ourselves in frustration or futility, but even then, God is patient, using those moments to draw us back to His peace and purpose.
Our journey with the Spirit is one of hope and transformation, not instant perfection. We are “in transit,” being conformed to Christ’s image through every circumstance. The Spirit intercedes for us, helps us in our weakness, and assures us that our ultimate destination is secure—life with God, free from sin and death.
Aus dee Pinjstdach dan kjeem, wieren see aula opp eene Städ toop. Un plazlich hieeden see, soo aus em Storm, een ruzhendet Jelud vom Himmel, soo daut et em gaunzen Hus to hieren wia, wua see sauten. Dan sagen see met eemol Tungen, aus von Fia; un dee saden sikj opp jieda eenem von an. See worden aula met däm Heiljen Jeist jefelt un fungen aun en aundre Sproaken to räden, doano aus de Jeist an daut mäajlich muak.
Jie sent derch Gott siene Jnod jerat, wiels jie jleewen. Daut es nich derch june Woakjen. Daut es een Jeschenkj von Gott. Daut es nich ut Woakjen, soo daut kjeena Uasoak haft sikj selfst to lowen.
Today’s focus is on the profound truth that salvation is a gift from God, given by grace and received through faith in Jesus Christ. This is not something that can be earned or achieved by our own efforts or good works; rather, it is a gift that God freely offers to all who believe. The reality of our human condition is that, from the very beginning with Adam and Eve, we have inherited a spiritual emptiness—a separation from God that no earthly relationship, success, or pleasure can fill. This emptiness is the result of spiritual death, a consequence of disobedience, and it has been passed down through every generation.
Many of us try to fill this void with relationships, achievements, or fleeting pleasures, but nothing truly satisfies. The only way to be made whole is to be reunited with God through a spiritual rebirth. Jesus made this possible by paying the price we could never pay, offering us new life through faith in Him. This spiritual rebirth—being “born again”—is essential; it is the only way to enter the kingdom of God and experience true purpose, peace, and eternal life.
Faith is not merely intellectual agreement or something learned from childhood; it must be a genuine, heartfelt trust in Jesus as Lord. It is not based on feelings or on our ability to maintain perfection, but on the unchanging promise of God. Just as we trust people for things like inheritances or promises, we are called to trust God’s word, which is always true. The invitation is open to all: to believe in your heart and openly declare that Jesus is Lord, receiving the gift of salvation and the fullness of life that only He can give.
Key Takeaways
God’s grace is not something we can earn or deserve; it is a gift freely given to us through faith in Jesus Christ. Our efforts, good works, or religious rituals cannot secure our place with God—only humble acceptance of His gift can. This truth humbles our pride and invites us to rest in God’s love rather than striving for approval.
The deep sense of emptiness and lack of purpose that so many experience is not a flaw to be fixed by human means, but a signpost pointing us back to our need for God. This emptiness is inherited from the fall and cannot be filled by relationships, success, or pleasure. Only a restored relationship with God through spiritual rebirth can satisfy the longing of our souls.
Being “born again” is not a metaphor or a religious slogan—it is a spiritual reality necessary for entering God’s kingdom. Physical birth brings us into this world, but only spiritual birth brings us into God’s family. This new birth is received by faith, not by heritage, feelings, or works, and it is the foundation of our eternal hope.
True faith is not simply repeating what we have been taught or relying on emotional highs. It is a deep, personal trust in Jesus as Lord, rooted in the heart and expressed openly. Faith that endures testing is faith that has moved from head knowledge or fleeting feelings to a settled conviction in the heart.
We often trust people for things they may not be able to deliver, yet God’s promises are always true and reliable. If we can trust imperfect humans, how much more should we trust the God who cannot lie? Believing God’s word about salvation is the faith that brings us into right relationship with Him and secures our eternal destiny.
Ons Läwen es hia 70 Joa, un wan daut huach kjemt, 80, un wan daut uk scheen jewast es, hab wie doch bloos
von Mieej un Trua to räden; daut kjemt boolt to Enj un wie flieejen wajch. Wäa weet, waut dien Oaja utrechten kaun? Wiels diene Wutt es soo groot aus de Forcht, dee die traft. Lia ons bedenkjen, daut wie stoawen motten, daut wie kluak woaren.
In this powerful message, we're challenged to examine our faith in the face of doubt. The story of Thomas, who doubted Jesus' resurrection until he saw Him, serves as a poignant reminder that blessed are those who believe without seeing. We're encouraged to recognize that our faith is more precious than gold, and like gold, it must be refined through trials. These tests of faith serve to purify our beliefs, removing misconceptions and false teachings that may have crept in. As we navigate through difficult seasons, we're reminded to keep our eyes fixed on Jesus, just as Peter did when walking on water. This message inspires us to trust in God's promises, even when circumstances seem dire, and to view our trials as opportunities for growth and purification.
Eenen Unjascheet tweschen Menschen to moaken. Nämt emol aun, bie junt en de Vesaumlunk kjemt een Mensch nenn met eenem goldnen Rinkj un en feine Kjleeda. Un doa kjemt uk eena nenn, dee mau oamlich aunjetrocken es. Jie wudden dan dän met de feine Kjleeda väatrakjen un to am sajen: Nemm hia dän basten Plauz! Un to däm oamen wudd jie sajen: Sto du hia! ooda: Sett hia ver miene Feet! Wudd jie dan nich eenen Unjascheet bie junt moaken un june beese Jedanken wiesen?
In this powerful exploration of the Sabbath, we delve into the true meaning of rest and its significance in our spiritual lives. The message challenges us to see the Sabbath not as a burdensome rule, but as a gift from God - a time to find delight in Him and experience true refreshment. Drawing from Exodus and Isaiah, we're reminded that the Sabbath was instituted to teach dependence on God and to showcase His faithfulness. As we reflect on Jesus' teachings about the Sabbath, we're encouraged to shift our focus from legalistic observance to heart-centered worship. This message invites us to examine how we approach rest in our own lives and challenges us to find our identity and satisfaction in Christ alone, allowing His rest to permeate our entire being.

The Fruit of Perseverance - Pastor Johnny Marten
Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.
Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead

Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us…
Search me, God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.

25 “And whenever you stand praying, if you have anything against anyone, forgive him, that your Father in heaven may also forgive you your trespasses. 26 But if you do not forgive, neither will your Father in heaven forgive your trespasses.”
“You would have no power over me if it were not given to you from above. Therefore the one who handed me over to you is guilty of a greater sin.”
Jesus answered, “You would have no power over me if it were not given to you from above. Therefore the one who handed me over to you is guilty of a greater sin.”

9 But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light; 10 who once were not a people but are now the people of God, who had not obtained mercy but now have obtained mercy.
