-
Welcome to the online church service of ecclesia church,
-
I am happy about this day
-
I am happy about everyone who is joining today,
-
no matter whether in front of your XXL screen or on your mobile phone,
-
so awesome that you have taken the time to celebrate and experience church service with us,
-
the bible says where 2 or 3 are gathered in my name,
-
there I am among them and this also applies to virtual gatherings,
-
God is here, He is real, God loves us
and He wants to encounter uns and you,
-
no matter where you are,
-
Let´s that make the best of this time
and you are invited to actively participate
-
and experience God through different elements in this service,
-
We want to praise God through worship songs,
-
we want to celebrate communion together.
-
It´s best if you already prepare some bread and wine or juice,
-
we want to honor God very practically through our finances
-
and we want to hear a sermon from God's Word that can change our lives
-
and right now we have a live chat going on parallel to this,
-
where you can just join in and also receive prayer
-
and right after the church service we have online foyer
-
to hang out and exchange a bit, it´s a cool thing!
-
More about that later but now I would say:
-
Let's go, let´s worhsip God, let´s make Him great,
-
feel free to stand up, get moving, clap your hands,
-
raise your hands and give glory to God.
-
The Lord bless you.
-
What a powerful song, I like it so much.
-
This is God's heartbeat that we can see throughout the whole Bible.
-
God wants good things for us. For you and for me,
-
and also in this challenging time you may know: God can
-
and wants and will turn everything for the best. We can trust Him.
-
I think the greatest proof that God loves us and blesses us beyond all measures
-
is the cross of Jesus and we celebrate this in the communion,
-
in the communion we thank Jesus for giving His life for us in our place.
-
His Body was broken in our place, His blood shed
-
so that we can live and experience freedom and healing.
-
And this bread stands for grace.
-
Take the bread for you personally
-
the body of Christ broken for you.
-
Whenever we take communion and drink from the wine or juice
-
we remember that Jesus will come back,
-
He will renew everything, His kingdom is completely without suffering
-
without pain, without danger, without sin.
-
In the blood there is life and hope.
-
Take the wine or the juice and take it personally for you and
-
I can speak that over you:
Christ's blood shed for you.
-
Jesus I thank You so much for everything You did for us,
-
thank You for coming to this earth, that You died and rose again
-
that You have given Your life so that we can live.
-
Thank you that You will come back,
thank You that we have an absolute hope,
-
even in these times that are challenging and difficult,
-
we give you all the honor for that,
-
Amen.
-
Hey, you can also have communion during the week in your Online groups and families
-
and keep celebrating together what Jesus has done for us,
-
and receive what He has for us.
-
Hey, God blesses us through communion,
-
and whenever we talk about blessing the topic of giving is not far from it.
-
God blesses us with good gifts materially and financially and much more
-
and that is why I have realized in this crisis that I am actually really well
-
and we are doing so well, I have everything I need and even more,
-
thanks to God.
-
But did you know: God bless you so that you can be a blessing for others?
-
Giving means blessing, nothing different
-
and we want to do that now that we just give finances
-
because we don't want to stop in difficult times to give and God does not stop blessing us,
-
because God is absolutely constant and He is reliable
-
and many people in Ecclesia do it for example through a monthly payment,
-
but there are also completely different options
-
and you can also find all the information you need on this page
-
it is important that nothing has to be given, it is absolutely voluntary,
-
especially if you are a guest among us
-
but anyone who would like to give can do so,
-
whatever God puts on your heart
-
and at this point I want to say:
-
Ecclesia, thank you for your generosity.
-
Yes for everyone who gives.
-
Everything that we give together and put in is a huge blessing for other people.
-
So now is the time for it and the end now just following we have a few news and infos,
-
and after that we hear the sermon.
-
And after the sermon we´ll see each other again
and I will tell you a little bit about
-
how things go right after the service we can meet,
-
have a really good time!
-
