Deutsch English Und es waren Hirten in derselben Gegend auf dem Felde, die hüteten des Nachts ihre Herde. Lukas 2,8 (LUT) 1. Er kam nachts Können wir uns vorstellen, dass Gott in Kaiser Augustus, ein Werkzeug Gottes sah? Wer hatte das gedacht! Aber Gottes Plan musste sich erfüllen! Als Jesus Christus vor gut über 2000 Jahren in diese Welt kam, war es Nacht! Und das nicht nur in Bethlehem. Es war Nacht für Maria und Josef. Sie suchten Ruhe und eine Bleibe. Doch sie mussten fliehen! Zur gleichen Zeit war es Nacht für die Juden. Denn die Römer schickten Steuereintreiber. Diese forderten sehr viel. Der Kaiser schickte Soldaten, die hochfahrend und stolz daherkamen. Sie traten die Juden in den Schmutz. Aber nicht nur die Römer verbreiteten "Nacht". Es gab so viele Kranke im Volk, Gelähmte und viele Blinde. Welches Elend! Sie suchten Hilfe - und fanden sie nicht! 2. Politische und religiöse Nacht Auch bei den Römern war "Nacht": Nach außen waren sie g...

Deutsch English   And in the same region there were shepherds out in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. Luke 2:8 (ESV) 1. He came at night Can we imagine that God saw Caesar Augustus as an instrument of God? Who would have thought! But God's plan had to come true! When Jesus Christ came into this world over 2000 years ago, it was night! And not just in Bethlehem. It was night for Mary and Joseph. They were looking for peace and a place to stay. But they had to flee! At the same time it was night for the Jews. Because the Romans sent tax collectors. These demanded a lot. The emperor sent soldiers who appeared haughty and proud. They trampled the Jews into the dirt. But it wasn't just the Romans who spread "night". There were so many sick people, paralyzed people and many blind people. What misery! They looked for help - and didn't find it! 2. Political and religious night It was also “night” for the Romans: outwardly they were l...

Deutsch English Advent – Ankunft – wer soll kommen? Auf wen warten wir? Vor etwa 2000 Jahren wartete eine schwangere Frau auf die Ankunft ihres Babys. Doch auch viele andere erwarteten die Ankunft dieses Kindes. Denn seit Jahrhunderten hatten Menschen, die einen besonderen „Draht“ zu Gott hatten, diesen besonderen Menschen angekündigt. Wer war dieser Mensch, auf den so viele warteten? Es war Gott selbst der Mensch wurde. Jesus, der Sohn Gottes genannt. Doch warum kam der Sohn Gottes auf die Erde, wo es doch in seinem himmlischen Reich so viel komfortabler ist? Aus Liebe! Gott kam als Mensch auf diese Erde, weil er nicht mehr ohne die Menschen leben wollte. Er hat die Menschen geschaffen um mit ihnen in einer innigen vertrauensvollen Beziehung zu Leben. Sie sollten seine Kinder, seine Freunde sein. Und wir Menschen? Wir interessierten uns nicht für Gott und tun es auch heute oft nicht. Im Gegenteil, wir wollen unabhängig unser eigenes Leben leben und unseren eigenen Willen tun. D...

Deutsch English Advent-arrival-who should come? Who are we waiting for? About 2,000 years ago, a pregnant woman was waiting for her baby to arrive. But many others were expecting this child’s arrival. Because for centuries people who had a special “wire” to God had announced this special person. Who was this person that so many were waiting for? It was God himself who became man. Called Jesus, the Son of God. But why did the Son of God come to earth when it is so much more comfortable in his heavenly kingdom? Out of love! God came to this earth as a man because he no longer wanted to live without people. He created people to live with them in an intimate, trusting relationship. You should be his children, his friends.    And we humans? We were not interested in God and often do not do it today. On the contrary, we want to live our own lives independently and do our own will. Many evil deeds follow from this. We rebel against God, the creator and king of the universe, an...

    Deutsch         English Ich liebe Feste und ich feier sehr gerne mit anderen Menschen und habe Spaß. Aber viel zu schnell feiern wir irgendwelche Feste, weil sie eine Modeerscheinung sind, weil sie sie so toll gemacht sind und den Anschein erwecken richtig cool zu sein. Aber die Verpackung von einem Fest sagt nicht wirklich was über die Wirkung aus. Jedes Fest hat einen Grund, ob ich daran glaube oder nicht. Jedes Fest hat eine Auswirkung auf mich. Geh ich ganz locker mit allem um was ich erlebe und was ich sehe oder überlege ich mit was mein Herz und meine Seele in Kontakt kommen darf. Wie sieht es denn jetzt mit Halloween aus. Es scheint ein witziges und lockeres Fest zu sein bei dem man eine Menge Spaß haben kann. Einige behaupten allerdings es sei gefährlich. Ist das nicht alles ein bisschen übertrieben? Aber ich möchte mir Gedanken machen über das womit ich in Kontakt komme. Es gibt Behauptungen, dass Halloween ei...

    Deutsch         English I love parties and I really enjoy celebrating with other people and having fun. But all too quickly we celebrate celebrations because they are a fad, because they are so well done and give the impression of being really cool. But the packaging of a party doesn't really say anything about the effect. Every festival has a reason, whether I believe in it or not. Every celebration has an impact on me. Do I treat everything I experience and see in a relaxed manner or do I think about what my heart and soul can come into contact with. What about Halloween now? It seems to be a fun and relaxed festival where you can have a lot of fun. However, some claim it is dangerous. Isn't it all a bit exaggerated? But I want to think about what I come into contact with. There are claims that Halloween is a purely evil festival with demonic origins. What's behind it? In order to get to the source, we first have to understand that ...

    Deutsch         English Winter 1966. We were on our way home. It was already dark. The streets were without traffic, when suddenly a truck appeared. It blinked right, but did not move. We could not brake in time with our transporter. We crashed into the back of the truck.  I crashed with full force with my stomach on the dashboard, which had a buckle. I could hardly breathe. For me as a little boy, the ride to the next hospital has been very scary, because I was struggling for air.  The paramedics tried to reassure me. Immediately after arriving at the Hospital I was operated, because a ruptured liver of 8 centimeters has been found. In 1966 a ruptured liver of this size was almost a death sentence. The doctors were fighting for my life. I have been clinically dead. They tried to retrieve my life and they finally succeeded.  That night my family came together for prayer. All shouted fervently to God for help. ...

    Deutsch         English It was 2003. In our busiest time my mother was diagnosed with lymphatic cancer and barely escaped with her live. It was difficult for me to be in the stage of her disease so far away. I live with my family in Germany and my parents lived in Norway. I kept thinking of her, praying for my mother and suffering with my parents.  Twice I took free for several weeks in order to be with her. I visited my mom in the hospitals, bought for her and did everything to land a helping hand. She was very weak and my father was desperate. Half the world prayed for her and actually after a terrible year with unspeakable suffering, the situation changed. It was a miracle that the cancer disappeared, although my mother was so weak that even the chemo had to be aborted. However, in all the time I had a supernatural peace and certainty in my heart that my mother would survive.  Each man is destined to die onc...

    Deutsch         English Sermon by Melanie Kundt Forgiveness that heals (hurting hurt people)  I am not preaching the following because I am perfect in this area, quite the contrary. I preach this subject because I realize that my heart itself needs nourishment and needs to be taught. And I know that many hearts here are also suffering and need help in this area.  It's about forgiveness.  You couldn't imagine how much I wanted to avoid this sermon topic, how many times I explained to God that maybe another topic would be better. As you can see, this topic is quite a challenge for me.  I used to think the topic of forgiveness was only for those who were very badly hurt by people, experienced abuse in some way, or had a tough past, but now I know that people can feel hurt very quickly.  Opportunities to be hurt await us every day: in the family, in marriage, in the neighborhood, in the busy traffic,...
