Share, Inspire, Equip http://resources.icf.ch http://resources.icf.ch Thu, 17 May 2012 14:21:23 CEST The Swiss master of the art of living, Alfred Selacher, once said: “Directing our thoughts towards something pleasant means bestowing ourselves with solutions.” The focus of our thoughts often makes a preliminary decision: It decides if we tend towards winning the game of our lives or losing it. If everyday life tends to feel good or bad. If you and I tend to become better or bitter. In the series FOCUS we want to take a closer look at everyday life from God’s point of view and together experience how HE gives new perspectives. Because His thoughts about your life and mine are ALWAYS positive!http://resources.icf.ch/index.php/en/serie/show/205Elia was like you and I: a human with a great passion for God and a deep longing for a better future. But he also was a man with strengths and weaknesses, its successes and setbacks, with fear and doubt. In the series "ELIA", we want to learn together how we can live our faith despite opposition, fear or doubt inspired & inspiring. Let's take a stand!http://resources.icf.ch/index.php/en/serie/show/202Truly I [Jesus] tell you: “If you have faith and do not doubt, not only can you do what was done to the fig tree, but also you can say to this mountain, ‘Go, throw yourself into the sea,’ and it will be done.” Matthew 21:21 When Jesus performed a miracle people were totally in awe: Who gave this man this authority? How could this rabbi forgive sins? And why did he meet people who were despised and shunned by others? In the DAILY MIRACLE series we will follow Jesus to seven different places where He performed miracles and once again become inspired by His love and authority. Jesus performs miracles – also in your and my lives.http://resources.icf.ch/index.php/en/serie/show/199Psalm 23http://resources.icf.ch/index.php/en/serie/show/196As we are looking forward to summer, we can also hardly await this year’s Summer Celebrations.
