Why we must get in trouble

No one wants to get in trouble. If possible we avoid that. But to get in trouble is unavoidable in life. Christianity does not offer an easy escape. On the contrary, believers in Jesus Christ face troubles they otherwise would not have had. Why? It might help us to understand more about the reasons. Upcoming Sunday we read from God’s Word I Peter 4:12-19. Here we receive understanding, comfort and equipment for hard times.  We invite you to join the service and learn more.

CELEBRATE HOLY COMMUNION
Upcoming Sunday we will celebrate Holy Communion as a fellowship. We warmly invite everyone connected to the ICF-Delft professing faith in Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour to join this communion, in person, or online. After the live streamed YouTube service, we will open a Zoom meeting, so that those joining from their homes can participate in the celebration of the Lord’s Supper. We always encourage to prepare for the Lord’s Supper. But how can you do that? In the Campus Bible Study we learnt that we might do that by reading I Corinthians 13 several times and then listen to what the Lord tells us through this passage. So you might also do this to prepare yourself for our Holy Communion service. If you have any questions or hesitations concerning participation in the communion, do not hesitate to let me (ds.josslager@gmail.com) or any other council member know!

‘Do not worry – look at the birds’ – Service on Sunday on March 4

‘Do not worry – look at the birds’

Nobody is without anxiety and fear. Jesus’ words ‘Do not worry’ may sound unrealistic and too simple for us. What, if you are facing unrelenting deadlines in your study and feel overburdened? What if you need to consult a doctor because of health problems? What if you are worried about family issues? Is there a way to escape from anxiety and fear? Let us listen more carefully to what Jesus meant in the service of coming Sunday, 4 March. 

‘Look at the birds’ says Jesus, ‘look at the lilies, you see that God feeds them and clothes them.’ Jesus didn’t mean that we should not care at all. His words are not a recommendation to ‘go into the wild’ or to go for ‘flower power’. Jesus makes very clear that our priorities matter. That what comes first is decisive, is a matter of life and death. It determines the difference between freedom and captivity. Between having surrendered our life to our Creator who wants to be our Father, and being captured by all the concerns and fears that accompany us daily. Join us to listen to the impressive and life changing words of Jesus in chapter 6 of the Gospel of Matthew!

Potluck Lunch after the Service

After the service we will have potluck lunch together! Just bring something to eat to share so we will have enough for everyone (doesn’t have to be homemade). Also invite your friends to join us and lets all have fellowship with one another!
