example of Jesus – International Christian Fellowship Delft

don’t worry … be happy?!

Have you ever been struck by what kind of a basically happy person Jesus was?
This may come as a suprise to many people, especially in this time of lent. They look at Jesus as a man of sorrow, acquainted with grief.

But in the centre of Jesus’ famous sermon on the mount there is a passage about joy and living our lives in the present before God and without sorrow. In his teaching, Jesus refers to heaven as a place not far from here and now. It is something that we can experience today!

How? That’s what we will talk about coming Sunday!

We look forward to see you and discover together more about what Rev. Hans-Jan Roosenbrand will tell us about this exciting topic!

Finding focus in career – the example of Jesus

How do we find focus in our (life) career? Often we experience hardships, setbacks and frustrations in life and work. Main challenge seems to be finding focus, avoiding what is unnecessary and keeping motivation. If we cannot avoid difficulties, does it help to fight them? Or do we rather need these, in order to become fruitful? There is a great example in Jesus Christ. What made him to endure and to continue? What he did, he did because of the joy set before him. That’s why he endured the cross and scorned its shame, the Bible says. That’s why He is not just an example, He really can help us out, when we experience failures and setbacks.

This Sunday we reflect on the example of Jesus, what we learn from him in coping with difficulties and finding focus in our career (based on the Scripture texts Philippians 2: 5-11 and Hebr. 12: 1-3). Discover how to follow him in day-to-day decisions whatever your life career represents.

Welcome in de International Christian Fellowship (ICF) – Delft, in the English spoken church service on Sunday 7 May, 12.15 hrs in the Génestet church, Oude Delft 102.

After the service we will have our monthly ‘potluck fellowship meal’, a great opportunity to ‘eat and meet’!
