The struggle right now is to try and stay fresh in preparations when work is much and i get tired. If you would, please pray that God works through and with me. in Him, Thomas Sun 11 Apr Grace unendingposted by
Tom at 09:58:01 PMSo another preaching sunday goes past and God keeps on making the same point int my life: without me you cannot do anything! I am getting this now that it is not about my strengths and weaknesses, but about Him. God can charge any person, no matter how little, with His Spirit. The question is not “are you able”, but “are you dependent”. Am also never-endingly thankful for all that He has done in my life, the humiliation and the uplifting. I have truly great friends, great mentors and a great God. I do not deserve any of it, as my life keeps on showing. But the more God uses me, the more i desire to be used. Obedience brings blessings, disobedience (either through commission or omission) brings a curse. Learn this, Thomas! And then we have a gracious and loving God, who pursues His children with loving-kindness. So much to grasp … such a small head! in Him. t Sun 28 Mar Joshua 7posted by
Tom at 08:10:03 PMWas preaching Joshua 7 again this morning. This was version 2, as version 1 had a few minor lacks that i supplied now (one of them was a proper introduction). I love this book more and more. There are so many warnings against disobedience, unholiness and compromise in it. On the other hand you see how truthful, loving, good and trustworthy God is! I was reminded again this morning that God is serious about sin! It does well matter to Him how we live our lives. He will not bless a ministry if the people in it make little of sin or even deny it by looking away. I needed that sermon for myself and should preach it to myself every week. It is a call to start a battle against indwelling sin. It is good to know though that God has supplied the Holy Spirit who gives us the ability and power to overcome sin. “Be holy as I am holy!” … this is not a mere by-word. It is not a bumper sticker sentence! God is serious about this and if you doubt it look at Acts 5 as well. Whenever God is staring something big in history He set such reminders. God is not fooled. We might get away with such things in front of others, but not the God of Psalm 139! So, i need to take up my guns again and start chasing … in Him. Sat 27 Mar Lebenszeichenposted by
Tom at 04:10:18 PMI just uploaded a bunch of sermons last night. I will really try and not forget to come up here and bring some news. Also note the new link for the possible church plant. This could still take years, but hey, one has to start somewhere, right? in Him. Sun 27 Sep Point of Graceposted by
Tom at 08:17:36 PMI had an amazing sunday, in a way unusual from a typical “great sunday”. The week was actually strewn with all kinds of bumps, ups and downs. I was to preach this morning again, Joshua 2 … was so looking forward to it, because this is such a great chapter. However, threw a lack of discipline i ended up finishing the sermon 45 minutes before the start of the service. That is NOT how it goes, it is NOT how it should be done. It’s ok when God lays something different on your heart, but if it is due to lack of discipline … it’s a sad sign. But it was a wake-up call. I believe in the Holy Spirit and that He guides and enlightens us as Christians. God chose the weak and the broken in this world to proclaim His name, so that no flesh can boast. I had nothing to boast about this morning and it went actually much better than it deserved. It is such a cool chapter, with such an amazing message! 2 points of application: 1. A saving faith (in Rahab) 2. A saving God The amazing thing about her faith is that she knew so little and yet she believed in such a way that she was ready to sell her city down the drain, just to be on God’s side. We all know so much more than her, but how do we live? Do we also follow Him “blindly”, in faith and joy? I needed that. It hit me likely the most of all … especially after this week. My own sermon as a point of rebuke and grace to me. Amazing! Have a great week you all. Let us love Christ and serve God and in that find our entire joy and satisfaction! in Him t Tue 11 Aug Another bitposted by
Tom at 07:51:14 AMMy mom phoned me last night to inform me that the “Pfarrer” (dominee) of the local church in Heimsheim (where my mom lives and i grew up in) agreed to have me preach there the 20th September. This is beyond huge for me. There will be family, there will be people that knew me from wee ages and there will be the pastor of the church who preached from the guestbook once. I want to make this occasion a defining moment. I want to glorify God, glorify the cross and make much of the Bible, in a church where no one carries one with himself. I know that there are a few people who hunger for the Word being preached, but they have become so accustomed to sugar cane that they don’t know anymore what meat tastes like. Please be praying for me and the people there, that God would work amongst them to give them a hunger for Himself and His Word again. The best would be if i could challenge the pastor to become an expositor of God’s Word, not his own mind (or guestbooks). I know I have unreal expectations, but I also know that God is “unreal”, in the sense that He is sovereign and all-powerful. If it pleases Him then He can do far more than what we can ask or think of. in Him |
