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!
