There is a difference between no resources being available, and resources being withheld or denied. There is a difference between being alone, and being ignored. What is the difference?

This week Maicon Steuernagel speaks of ents, dogs and asking ourselves how a God who is moved migh move us.

Welcome to the invitations of grace and mercy. Welcome to Echos at OiC!

"Anybody there?"

This Lent season we venture into the wide wild empty spaces where echoes live, to ask and listen. Are there other voices there but our own? 

Maicon Steuernagel follows Jesus into the wilderness to ask: why is God there anyway?

Welcome to the wilderness. Welcome to Echoes at OiC!

As we walk together into the season of Lent, out guest speaker Kristine Tveit shares about prayer, being moved, and a Christ who cries.

Welcome to feeling and walking. Welcome to OiC!

The revelation of Bread

As the season of revelation in Epiphany gives way to the season of lent, our guest speaker Solveig Vatn Weisser explores Jesus' declaration: "I am the bread of life".

Welcome to the table. Welcome to OiC!

I am the light of the world. Follow me... says Jesus. The Jesus who walks down the mountain.

This week our guest speaker Lemma Desta shares about this Jesus whom the disciples witness at the mount of transfiguration, and who says that those who follow him will have the light of life.

Welcome to the Cycles of Epiphany. Welcome to OiC!

A sower went out to sow his seed... what was it again?

As we explore these Cycles of Epiphany, Maicon Steuernagel looks at a well known parable and asks where Jesus might place himself in the middle of it all.

Welcome to being present. Welcome to OiC!

“Lord, we don’t know where you are going, so how can we know the way?”

Blessed Thomas shamelessly speaks his heart and interrupts our epiphany with the blessing of his awkward question. We need his question, lest we carry on thinking we know the answer. Do we know the answer?

In the middle of our Cycles of Epiphany, Maicon Steuernagel explores questions and answers given in the intimacy of Jesus' last days with his disciples.

Welcome to asking. Welcome to OiC!

Of all the miracles the gospel writers tell of when they present us Jesus, John chooses to start with a remarkably unusual one and call it a sign. A sign for what? And why start here, with this apparently unecessary and unconsequential story? 

The Cycles of Epyphany continue, as Maicon Steuernagel speaks of the need to believe in grace with our whole selves.

Welcome to holding on. Welcome to following. Welcome to OiC!

As we start a new series focusing on Christ's revelation as God – the church season of Epiphany – we are met by a question, "What are you seeking for?", and then an answer that changes everything.

Welcome to questions. Welcome to following. Welcome to OiC!

Closing the Christmas season in many christian traditions around the world, the Feast ofthe Epiphany looks at the story of the magi coming from the east to find the child that was born. This Sunday our guest preacher Knut Hallen, who is a missionary to Thailand with NMS, shares on different missional perspectives on the story.
