Your 100 Day Prayer: Day 5 – The Father’s House
"Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me. In my Father's house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am." -John 14:1-3 Talk about great expectations! We have a place prepared for
Your 100 Day Prayer: Day 4 – He Heals the Brokenhearted
He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds. -Psalm 147:3 When I read this Psalm, it is easy for me to picture God lovingly and gently wrapping my wounds and healing my brokenness. Why? Simply, because he has done so more than once. In the book we read, "He (God) meets us where we are, not just where we ought to be. He wants to heal our deep hurts and bind up our hidden wounds—those not evident to anyone else—because he cares
Your 100 Day Prayer: Day 3 – Good Out of Evil
You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives. -Genesis 50:20 In Your 100 Day Prayer: The Transforming Power of Waiting on God, we read that this statement is "one of the most amazing truths in the Bible. It summarizes the entire history of faith—yours, mine, and everyone else's… It speaks of God's mysterious ability to take any and all evil, all malicious intent, and turn it
Your 100 Day Prayer Journey: Day 2 – Don’t Worry
Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink or about your body, what you will wear…But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. -Matthew 6:25,33 Isn't it wonderful that God's word tells us not to worry about anything? God will take care of everything if we trust and believe him. So why don't we trust him to do as he says? German
Your 100 Day Prayer Journey: Day 1 – In the Beginning
The 100-day prayer is simply a way of bringing before God major issues, challenges, concerns, or transitions in our lives. Again, there's really nothing magic about a hundred days. It’s just what our family settled on as a solid period of concentrated prayer and intercession. It could have been ninety or one-hundred-and-twenty days. The intent is to bring before God the same issues each day for that period. This isn't something overly involved or impossible to sustain—only a few minutes
Holy Week at Starnberg International Church – Join Us!
In this season, we learn the value of waiting. The longer we wait for something, the more we have to trust it will arrive and the more we have to trust that the waiting process is happening for a reason. Waiting helps us deepen our faith and heighten our listening and desire for God. Rather than giving up or turning away from good things like chocolate, coffee, or some other pleasure, it is probably more spiritually productive in the season
The Star of Bethlehem
“After listening to the king, they [the Magi] went on their way. And behold, the star that they had seen when it rose went before them until it came to rest over the place where the child was. When they saw the star, they rejoiced exceedingly with great joy.” – Matthew 2:9–10 The new dazzling light that appeared in the night sky, catching the Magi’s attention in the first place, rarely gets the press it deserves. This anomaly led these professional star-watchers to

Daniel: How Can We Live Faithfully in Babylonian Times?
Our next session of The Munich Bible Study on Zoom is off to a great start! We began last Wednesday, September 11, at 7:00 p.m. with the book of Daniel. What wisdom and insights can we draw from Daniel regarding living in an increasingly hostile world? The study will teach us how we can live faithfully in Babylonian times. Professor George Barna, a leading expert in church and worldview trends, states that we’ve reached a place of “Christian invisibility in our culture.” It’s
