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.
Welcome to Oslo International Church!

Though most of us nowadays associate Christmas with a single day, traditionally it extends for a couple of weeks in the church's calendar, bringing us all the way into the new year. Which begs the question: how does God's revelation in the Christ Child go beyond the crib or manger and into this life that seems to go roling on apparently oblivious to it?
For this new year's reflection, Maicon Steuernagel revisits last year's new year reflection and invites us once more to sit down with old Simeon, a teacher in the isdom of hope when nothing seems to change.
Welcome to 2023 with OiC!

Sometimes it rains on the very day of the picnic. Remember your frustration as a kid?
Sometimes, what breaks the expectation is much more than rain, and harder to take in. This season of expectation, we join Joseph and his broken advent.
Welcome to the Cycles of Advent!
