From the Bible

The Lord will guide you continually, giving you water when you are dry and restoring your strength. You will be like a well-watered garden, like an ever-flowing spring. — Isaiah 58:11 (NLT)

ICTG mission & vision

Kids in the Garden

Every week we create material for the children with a sheet and Youtube video. You can let your children work on the sheet and/or watching the Youtube video during our live stream service on Sunday. Or even better: watch the video together and talk about the topic to help your kids being rooted in Jesus.

In Daniel 3 we read that King Nebuchadnezzar made

In Daniel 3 we read that King Nebuchadnezzar made an image of gold. Everyone in his kingdom had to bow down and worship this image at the sound of the horn.
It’s not clear if the statue is of himself or a Babylonian god, but it’s huge and people are required to Worship it, instead of the one true God.
⠀
How does this apply to us, today?
First of all, the world creates larger than life images for us to worship.

Everywhere we see huge images to worship. At the movies, Netflix, we idolize actors.
In stadiums people look at soccer players and athletes as if they are Gods. And what about music concerts, the internet...

We worship physical beauty. Wealth. Success. Fame. Power. Popularity. These are all images, just as real.
We see many people obsessed with these idols.

Remember; God wants the best for us and bless us! It is wonderful to flourish and to thrive in life and to give God all the glory with the talents He has given us. Just like Daniel and his friends, who came into a position of influence. The problem arises when we put our successes above God and lose our focus.
The question most important then becomes: what or who has first place in your heart?
⠀
This is God’s command;
⠀
“Love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength” (Deuteronomy 6:4–5).
⠀
Let’s pray that we will never lose focus and put our trust in Jesus- and not the world around us! Let’s love Him with all our heart!!

Last Sunday, Evert Nooter shared an excellent mess

Last Sunday, Evert Nooter shared an excellent message about how we can stand strong and firm when our identity as Christians is under pressure.
Based on the example of Daniël, and his friends Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego (Hebrew names Hananiah, Mishael and Azariah) the three brave Hebrews who took a stand against king Nebuchadnezzar, refusing to bow to an idol and therefor being thrown into a burning fiery furnace.

‘Great is Your faithfulness
⠀
As a child I loved the old hymn “Great is Thy faithfulness", especially the verse:
Pardon for sin and a peace that endureth,
Thine own dear presence to cheer and to guide;
Strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow,
Blessings all mine, with ten thousand beside!
Great is Thy faithfulness!
Even though I didn’t fully understand the text when I was young, the words, the melody and singing it in church with my family, aunt, uncle, cousins and grandparents, created a special atmosphere in which I felt safe, loved, and in God’s presence. Through the years the song remained a favorite and was one of our wedding songs. I also want it at my funeral someday.
The song is based on Lamentations 3:22-23, which was probably written by the prophet Jeremiah:
The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end;
they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. (ESV)
While describing the difficult time in which he lived, Jeremiah focused his attention on God’s justice, mercy and love, and the fact that He never changes, but remains steadfast. Through difficult times, disappointments, losing loved ones, and now in this weird year of 2020, the words of the song still encourage me to focus on Jesus, not lose heart or give in to fear, and to remember that through it all, He remains faithful.’

Daniel was an exile, had political enemies, a mani

Daniel was an exile, had political enemies, a manipulated King, a dangerous law, his faith attacked, his life was on the line- still Daniel prayed and gave thanks! In the midst of facing huge crisis Daniel shows us how he prayed and turned to God.
•He set a time for prayer (three times a day)
•He went to a place of prayer (his room, with open window towards Jerusalem)
•He exercised his faith in prayer (Daniel has explicit faith in God to rescue him and answer him)
⠀
When we are under pressure let us turn to God just like Daniel did!
