In the beginning of a new season we all need strength. Strength to be able to accomplish our tasks and to thrive. Yet, not only whether or not we are able to succeed matters. The way and manner wherein we do things also matters. Matters a lot. And for that we also need strength.

Upcoming Sunday we continue to read in Paul’s letter to the Ephesians (Chapter 4:1-6). We learn that the first characteristic of the Christian life is and should be humility. In Paul’s time, humility was not seen as a virtue, but as a vice. Maybe that is still the same. However, we will see upcoming Sunday how beautiful and attractive true, Christian humility is. Also, why it so necessary, though we find it hard. Last but not least, also how one might obtain and exercise this humility.

You are most welcome to join this service and to learn more.

With this sermon we also begin to prepare ourselves for a celebration of the Lord’s Supper, Lord willing on Sunday 15 September.

The last passage in the kids’ series on Daniel is, perhaps, the most well known story from the book.

Please can Explorers kids bring their bibles?

Title: The Lions

Text: Daniel 6:1-28

Big Idea: Daniel trusted God and worshipped him alone even when he got thrown into a den of lions for doing so, and God rescued him.

Aim: To teach the importance of not allowing anything to affect our relationship with God.

The memory verse for the Daniel series is: “We must obey God rather than human beings!” (Acts 5:29a)
