"I am who I am – luck or fate" with guests from culture, business, medicine and theology
The Evangelical City Church of Darmstadt continues its long-standing sermon series and invites everyone to four special services in October 2025. Under the theme "I am who I am – luck or fate" (Exodus 3:14), prominent figures will explore existential questions of human existence.
Perspectives on personality and destiny
God's biblical self-revelation is applied to the human level: Are we who we are due to fate, luck, achievement, psychological strength, or illness? This question is at the heart of this year's sermon series.
The Evangelical City Church congregation has invited guests from journalism, business, medicine, and theology. Each sermon will be complemented by a simplified liturgy and musical contributions from soloists and ensembles.

Invitation to Reflection
For many years, the city church parish has offered a platform to prominent figures from culture, politics, and society through this sermon series, allowing them to illuminate faith and life's big questions from new perspectives. The series will continue in 2025, again aiming to stimulate reflection and discussion on fundamental questions of human existence.
