Скачать или смотреть Ev. Gottesdienst am 8. So. n. Trinitatis 2022 in der ev.-luth. St. Marienkirche in Gnioen

Hier unser Gottesdienst am 7. August 2022 in Gnoien. Leider ist ein Mikrofon (am Lesepult) versehenlich ausgeschaltet worden. Daher ist die Aufnahme an manchen Stellen kaum oder gar nicht zu verstehen. Es tut uns leid. Die Predigt (ab etwa der 16. Minute) ist gut zu verstehen - das Mikrofon war richtig eingestellt. Auch am letzten Sonntag waren die Mikrofone falsch eingestellt bzw. abgeschaltet. Daher ist der Gottesdienst vom 31. Juli nicht ausgestrahlt worden - Entschuldigung!
Here our (German) worship service on August 7, 2022 in Gnoien. Unfortunately one of the microphones (on the Ambo) wasn't tuned right. Therefore the readings (and several hymns) were hardly or not at all understandable. We are sorry about that. Neverthelesse, the sermon beginning around 16 Minutes can be well understood. The theme of the sermon summarized: Our Text was from Mark 12: 41 - 44 - the story of the poor widow who gave two coins and was praised by Jesus for giving everything she had to live from. The sermon deals with money and our relationship to it. Jesus was totally against money - it was new and foreign to him and moreorless a form of Idolatry. It is crazy that money has gained so much power in our society and in our own lives. Money and its power are unavoidablle and so commonplace that we don't ponder on our relationship to money. Why this power? What misery does it cause? For what rational reason is every valued according to monetary terms? We cannot evade money and its influence on our lives, but it most certainly doesn't have to be our God! This story wants to loosen money's grip on our lives, what's us to evaluate what money means to us, if it doesn't mean too much to us.
