15 years doom and gloom dissipated like morning mist and the sun broke through

Jan lost his job May 2016 by mutual agreement with his boss. He could not handle his job in construction anymore due to severe back problems.

The local church: Hope for the future !
Today’s society hasn’t become easier. Notwithstanding new communication techniques such as SMS, chatting, e-mail, communicating and relating to one another is becoming increasingly difficult. A great many people live terribly lonely lives.
The number of depressions is on the rise, psychiatric wards were never more crowded than today… Inner rest is something very few people still know or experience. Even the advancement of medical science cannot banish suffering and death from our lives. Each time there is a new therapy, some new disease turns up…
For many affections science has no answer.
When people lose hope, they don’t want to live any longer.
Faith starts with hope. The local church is potentially the most influential power on planet earth. Church is given by God to be a place of salvation, liberation, healing and recovery… a place where people love one another in spite of their shortcomings and where they can become truly happy.
Our God is a God of hope… for Him, nothing is impossible
What do we believe?
God is greater, better and closer than we can imagine.
The Bible is Gods perfect guide for life.
Jesus is God showing Himself to us.
Trough the Holy Spirit God lives in and trough us.
Nothing of the earth or the universe is by accident. God has made it all.
We people do enough things against Gods will. We call that "sin" and because of that it is impossible to come to God.
Because God wants to have a relation with us, Jesus arranged for it that we cannot be guilty any more by willingly taking our penalty. Therefore we now can come to God.
God promise us eternal live if we believe in Jesus. The choice is ours whether we want it or not.
Heaven and hell are real. Our choice determines our destination.
The church has the task to serve people just as Jesus did.
