Remembered forever
23. Novembris, 2008. mūsu Kunga gads.
112. Psalms ir slavas dziesma Dievam - dziesma par to, ka cilvēks, kurš godina Dievu Viņā gūst prieku, mieru, drošību un mūžīgu piemiņu (par viņu atceras uz mūžīgiem laikiem). Angliski šie divi vārdi runā daudz skaļāk, tāpēc arī virsraksts ir angļu valodā.
Un šī Svētdiena bija šī Dieva Vārda (112. Psalma 6.panta) kārtējais piepildījums.
Tā kā mūsu draudzē Sāra jau ceturto svētdienu runā par Jozua, tad varētu domāt, ka tas ir viņa vārds, viņa piemiņa (viņš kas tiek 'atcerēts'). Viņš protams arī, bet šajā reizē tiek 'atcerēta' vesela tauta jeb pilsēta ar tās iedzīvotājiem.
Un stāsts ir par Gibeonu, par gibeoniešiem, kuru dzīve un pilsēta varēja būt izsvītrota no Pasaules vēstures Jozua laikā, bet tā vietā šī pilsēta un tās ļaudis tika Dieva svētīti cauri gadu simteņiem.

Psalm 112 is the song of praise - song about life and destiny of a righteous, God fearing man. Such person in his life will have joy, peace, security and will be remembered forever.
And this Sunday was fulfillment of Psalm 112:6.
You might think that it is Joshua as Sarah is preaching about him for few weeks already. Him as well of course, but this time it is remembered whole city and its inhabitants.
And the story is about Gibeon, about Gibeonites whose life could be erased from history and memory of people forever during the time of Joshua, but instead God blessed them and made their name to be remembered FOREVER.
Dziesma
"Turn your eyes upon Jesus"

16. Novembris.
Svētdiena, 16. Novembris.
Šī Svētā diena bija zīmīga ar to, ka tā vien šķita, ka no malu malām kopā nāk ļaudis, it kā būtu kādi svētki. Kaut arī tas ir neliels pārspīlējums, taču zāle tiešām šķita krietni pilnāka kā pēdējā laikā bija ierasts. Ja precīzi, tad pēc bērnu došanās uz Svētdien's skolu zālē palika 45 pieaugušie. Pēdējās svētdienās šis skaitlis bija ap 30.
Šī bija trešā svētdiena, kad Sāra sludināja no Jozua grāmatas. Šoreiz tas bija daudziem zināmais stāsts par Jērikas ieņemšanu un viss kas ap to saistīts, ieskaitot arī cilvēku bieži uzdoto jautājumu par to, kāpēc Dievs Vecajā derībā ir tik nežēlīgs.

This was third Sunday when Sarah preached from book of Joshua. This time it was well known story of Israelites conquering Jericho. She also touched a difficult subject many times asked by people 'why God in Old Testament is such a violent?'

Easter Story
March 16, 2008
by Aivis
Summary of last week in Jesus' life. It was like a roller coaster ride in His life. This Sunday Sarah was painting picture of what happened to Jesus - in his emotions and in his spirit. It was amazing how much He knew - about people, about what will happen to him and others.

Discipleship - your own roots.
Feb 3, 2008, by Sarah
I am still searching for better solution to broadcast (or in these days you say: Podcast) our Sunday sermons. Found this site: Sermon Cloud. Will see how it works. I think they are doing good job giving Churches oportunity to share their sermons free for one year.
By following the link to listen/ download sermon you will also find short summary of it.

New Years Party
I would like to call it even: "Messy, messier, messiest" due to the games we (well, some who were involved with) played.
I hope the Year though will not be that way. Oh, actually that mess was still in the old year and this year we started clean and with determination to stay that way.
