Palabras de Afirmación para el Año Nuevo
==========

‭‭Isaías‬ ‭43‬:‭1‬-‭5‬‬
Ahora, así dice Jehová, Creador tuyo, oh Jacob, y Formador tuyo, oh Israel: No temas, porque yo te redimí; te puse nombre, mío eres tú. Cuando pases por las aguas, yo estaré contigo; y si por los ríos, no te anegarán. Cuando pases por el fuego, no te quemarás, ni la llama arderá en ti. Porque yo Jehová, Dios tuyo, el Santo de Israel, soy tu Salvador; a Egipto he dado por tu rescate, a Etiopía y a Seba por ti. Porque a mis ojos fuiste de gran estima, fuiste honorable, y yo te amé; daré, pues, hombres por ti, y naciones por tu vida. No temas, porque yo estoy contigo; del oriente traeré tu generación, y del occidente te recogeré.

1. Enfrentaré todo lo que viene sin temor.
2. No permitiré que el desánimo invada mi vida.
3. Mantendré una actitud de aprendizaje.
4. Decidiré que la Palabra del Señor sea la guía para todas las decisiones de mi vida.

‭‭Proverbios‬ ‭31‬:‭25‬-‭31‬‬
Fuerza y honor son su vestidura; Y se ríe de lo por venir. Abre su boca con sabiduría, Y la ley de clemencia está en su lengua. Considera los caminos de su casa, Y no come el pan de balde. Se levantan sus hijos y la llaman bienaventurada; Y su marido también la alaba: Muchas mujeres hicieron el bien; Mas tú sobrepasas a todas. Engañosa es la gracia, y vana la hermosura; La mujer que teme a Jehová, esa será alabada. Dadle del fruto de sus manos, Y alábenla en las puertas sus hechos.

‭‭Salmos‬ ‭11‬:‭1‬-‭4‬‬
En Jehová he confiado; ¿Cómo decís a mi alma, Que escape al monte cual ave? Porque he aquí, los malos tienden el arco, Disponen sus saetas sobre la cuerda, Para asaetear en oculto a los rectos de corazón. Si fueren destruidos los fundamentos, ¿Qué ha de hacer el justo? Jehová está en su santo templo; Jehová tiene en el cielo su trono; Sus ojos ven, sus párpados examinan a los hijos de los hombres.

‭‭2 Corintios‬ ‭4‬:‭8‬-‭9‬‬
que estamos atribulados en todo, mas no angustiados; en apuros, mas no desesperados; perseguidos, mas no desamparados; derribados, pero no destruidos;

‭‭Salmos‬ ‭34‬:‭17‬-‭19‬‬
Claman los justos, y Jehová oye, Y los libra de todas sus angustias. Cercano está Jehová a los quebrantados de corazón; Y salva a los contritos de espíritu. Muchas son las aflicciones del justo, Pero de todas ellas le librará Jehová.

‭‭Efesios‬ ‭4‬:‭22‬-‭32‬‬
En cuanto a la pasada manera de vivir, despojaos del viejo hombre, que está viciado conforme a los deseos engañosos, y renovaos en el espíritu de vuestra mente, y vestíos del nuevo hombre, creado según Dios en la justicia y santidad de la verdad. Por lo cual, desechando la mentira, hablad verdad cada uno con su prójimo; porque somos miembros los unos de los otros. Airaos, pero no pequéis; no se ponga el sol sobre vuestro enojo, ni deis lugar al diablo. El que hurtaba, no hurte más, sino trabaje, haciendo con sus manos lo que es bueno, para que tenga qué compartir con el que padece necesidad. Ninguna palabra corrompida salga de vuestra boca, sino la que sea buena para la necesaria edificación, a fin de dar gracia a los oyentes. Y no contristéis al Espíritu Santo de Dios, con el cual fuisteis sellados para el día de la redención. Quítense de vosotros toda amargura, enojo, ira, gritería y maledicencia, y toda malicia. Antes sed benignos unos con otros, misericordiosos, perdonándoos unos a otros, como Dios también os perdonó a vosotros en Cristo.

‭‭Deuteronomio‬ ‭28‬:‭1‬-‭14‬‬
Acontecerá que si oyeres atentamente la voz de Jehová tu Dios, para guardar y poner por obra todos sus mandamientos que yo te prescribo hoy, también Jehová tu Dios te exaltará sobre todas las naciones de la tierra. Y vendrán sobre ti todas estas bendiciones, y te alcanzarán, si oyeres la voz de Jehová tu Dios. Bendito serás tú en la ciudad, y bendito tú en el campo. Bendito el fruto de tu vientre, el fruto de tu tierra, el fruto de tus bestias, la cría de tus vacas y los rebaños de tus ovejas. Benditas serán tu canasta y tu artesa de amasar. Bendito serás en tu entrar, y bendito en tu salir. Jehová derrotará a tus enemigos que se levantaren contra ti; por un camino saldrán contra ti, y por siete caminos huirán de delante de ti. Jehová te enviará su bendición sobre tus graneros, y sobre todo aquello en que pusieres tu mano; y te bendecirá en la tierra que Jehová tu Dios te da. Te confirmará Jehová por pueblo santo suyo, como te lo ha jurado, cuando guardares los mandamientos de Jehová tu Dios, y anduvieres en sus caminos. Y verán todos los pueblos de la tierra que el nombre de Jehová es invocado sobre ti, y te temerán. Y te hará Jehová sobreabundar en bienes, en el fruto de tu vientre, en el fruto de tu bestia, y en el fruto de tu tierra, en el país que Jehová juró a tus padres que te había de dar. Te abrirá Jehová su buen tesoro, el cielo, para enviar la lluvia a tu tierra en su tiempo, y para bendecir toda obra de tus manos. Y prestarás a muchas naciones, y tú no pedirás prestado. Te pondrá Jehová por cabeza, y no por cola; y estarás encima solamente, y no estarás debajo, si obedecieres los mandamientos de Jehová tu Dios, que yo te ordeno hoy, para que los guardes y cumplas, y si no te apartares de todas las palabras que yo te mando hoy, ni a diestra ni a siniestra, para ir tras dioses ajenos y servirles.

TAKE A MULLIGAN!

Forgive Yourself

Philippians 3:13-14
“Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.”

KEEP YOUR HEAD DOWN!

Focus on God's Word

It keeps a good connection:

Psalm 119:130
“The opening of Your word gives light, imparting understanding to the simple.”

It breaks a bad habit:

Psalm 119:11
I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you.

Romans 6:12,14
“do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its evil desires. For sin shall not be your master”

GRANT A "GIMME!"

Forgive Somebody Else

Colossians 3:13
“Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.”

“A Faithful God”
1 Kings 19:14-18

‭‭1 Kings‬ ‭19‬:‭14‬-‭18‬‬
“I have been very zealous for the Lord God of Armies,” he replied, “but the Israelites have abandoned your covenant, torn down your altars, and killed your prophets with the sword. I alone am left, and they’re looking for me to take my life.” Then the Lord said to him, “Go and return by the way you came to the Wilderness of Damascus. When you arrive, you are to anoint Hazael as king over Aram. You are to anoint Jehu son of Nimshi as king over Israel and Elisha son of Shaphat from Abel-meholah as prophet in your place. Then Jehu will put to death whoever escapes the sword of Hazael, and Elisha will put to death whoever escapes the sword of Jehu. But I will leave seven thousand in Israel  — every knee that has not bowed to Baal and every mouth that has not kissed him.”

Elijah’s Past

- Announces a Famine ( 1 Kings 17)

- Elijah and the Widow

- Raised the Widow’s Son to Life

- Elijah Opposes Ahab and Baal ( 1 Kings 18)

Elijah’s Fear

‭‭1 Kings‬ ‭19‬:‭14‬‬
“I have been very zealous for the Lord God of Armies,” he replied, “but the Israelites have abandoned your covenant, torn down your altars, and killed your prophets with the sword. I alone am left, and they’re looking for me to take my life.”

God’s Faithfulness

‭‭1 Kings‬ ‭19‬:‭18‬‬
But I will leave seven thousand in Israel  — every knee that has not bowed to Baal and every mouth that has not kissed him.”

‭‭John‬ ‭3‬:‭16‬-‭17‬‬
For God loved the world in this way: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.

‭‭Galatians‬ ‭4‬:‭4‬-‭5‬‬
When the time came to completion, God sent his Son, born of a woman, born under the law, to redeem those under the law, so that we might receive adoption as sons.

‭‭Romans‬ ‭5‬:‭8‬‬
But God proves his own love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

‭‭Genesis‬ ‭1‬:‭27‬‬
So God created man in his own image; he created him in the image of God; he created them male and female.

‭‭Revelation‬ ‭3‬:‭20‬‬
See! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and eat with him, and he with me.

‭‭Psalms‬ ‭29‬:‭2‬‬
Ascribe to the Lord the glory due his name; worship the Lord in the splendor of his holiness.

‭‭John‬ ‭14‬:‭3‬‬
If I go away and prepare a place for you, I will come again and take you to myself, so that where I am you may be also.

‭‭Luke‬ ‭2‬:‭10‬-‭12‬‬
But the angel said to them, “Don’t be afraid, for look, I proclaim to you good news of great joy that will be for all the people: Today in the city of David a Savior was born for you, who is the Messiah, the Lord. This will be the sign for you: You will find a baby wrapped tightly in cloth and lying in a manger.”

Mary's Faith Journey
Luke 1:26-38

1. An unlikely messenger


2. An unconceivable message

‭‭Luke‬ ‭1‬:‭31‬-‭33‬‬
And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus. He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. And the Lord God will give to him the throne of his father David, and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of his kingdom there will be no end.”

‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭9‬:‭6‬-‭7‬‬
For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Of the increase of his government and of peace there will be no end, on the throne of David and over his kingdom, to establish it and to uphold it with justice and with righteousness from this time forth and forevermore. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will do this.

‭‭Luke‬ ‭1‬:‭38‬‬
And Mary said, “Behold, I am the servant of the Lord; let it be to me according to your word.” And the angel departed from her.

‭‭Luke‬ ‭1‬:‭41‬-‭45‬‬
And when Elizabeth heard the greeting of Mary, the baby leaped in her womb. And Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit, and she exclaimed with a loud cry, “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb! And why is this granted to me that the mother of my Lord should come to me? For behold, when the sound of your greeting came to my ears, the baby in my womb leaped for joy. And blessed is she who believed that there would be a fulfillment of what was spoken to her from the Lord.”

3. An overwhelming response to grace

‭‭Luke‬ ‭1‬:‭46‬-‭50‬‬
And Mary said, “My soul magnifies the Lord, and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior, for he has looked on the humble estate of his servant. For behold, from now on all generations will call me blessed; for he who is mighty has done great things for me, and holy is his name. And his mercy is for those who fear him from generation to generation.

‭‭S. Mateo‬ ‭1‬:‭16‬‬
y Jacob engendró a José, marido de María, de la cual nació Jesús, llamado el Cristo.

‭‭S. Lucas‬ ‭2‬:‭1‬-‭7‬‬
Aconteció en aquellos días, que se promulgó un edicto de parte de Augusto César, que todo el mundo fuese empadronado. Este primer censo se hizo siendo Cirenio gobernador de Siria. E iban todos para ser empadronados, cada uno a su ciudad. Y José subió de Galilea, de la ciudad de Nazaret, a Judea, a la ciudad de David, que se llama Belén, por cuanto era de la casa y familia de David; para ser empadronado con María su mujer, desposada con él, la cual estaba encinta. Y aconteció que estando ellos allí, se cumplieron los días de su alumbramiento. Y dio a luz a su hijo primogénito, y lo envolvió en pañales, y lo acostó en un pesebre, porque no había lugar para ellos en el mesón.

1.) María escuchó a Dios.
2.) María creyó a Dios.
3.) María obedeció a Dios.

Boaz said to the elders and all the people, “You are witnesses today that I am buying from Naomi everything that belonged to Elimelech, Chilion, and Mahlon. I have also acquired Ruth the Moabitess, Mahlon’s widow, as my wife, to perpetuate the deceased man’s name on his property, so that his name will not disappear among his relatives or from the gate of his hometown. You are witnesses today.” All the people who were at the city gate, including the elders, said, “We are witnesses. May the Lord make the woman who is entering your house like Rachel and Leah, who together built the house of Israel. May you be powerful in Ephrathah and your name well known in Bethlehem. May your house become like the house of Perez, the son Tamar bore to Judah, because of the offspring the Lord will give you by this young woman.” Boaz took Ruth and she became his wife. He slept with her, and the Lord granted conception to her, and she gave birth to a son. The women said to Naomi, “Blessed be the Lord, who has not left you without a family redeemer today. May his name become well known in Israel. He will renew your life and sustain you in your old age. Indeed, your daughter-in-law, who loves you and is better to you than seven sons, has given birth to him.” Naomi took the child, placed him on her lap, and became a mother to him. The neighbor women said, “A son has been born to Naomi,” and they named him Obed. He was the father of Jesse, the father of David.

From Ruin to Redemption
Ruth 1-5

1. Ruin

‭‭Ruth‬ ‭1‬:‭8‬-‭10‬‬
But Naomi said to her two daughters-in-law, “Go, return each of you to her mother’s house. May the Lord deal kindly with you, as you have dealt with the dead and with me. The Lord grant that you may find rest, each of you in the house of her husband!” Then she kissed them, and they lifted up their voices and wept. And they said to her, “No, we will return with you to your people.”

‭‭Ruth‬ ‭1‬:‭16‬-‭18‬‬
But Ruth said, “Do not urge me to leave you or to return from following you. For where you go I will go, and where you lodge I will lodge. Your people shall be my people, and your God my God. Where you die I will die, and there will I be buried. May the Lord do so to me and more also if anything but death parts me from you.” And when Naomi saw that she was determined to go with her, she said no more.

2. Relatives

‭‭Ruth‬ ‭2‬:‭1‬‬
Now Naomi had a relative of her husband’s, a worthy man of the clan of Elimelech, whose name was Boaz.

‭‭Ruth‬ ‭2‬:‭2‬-‭3‬‬
And Ruth the Moabite said to Naomi, “Let me go to the field and glean among the ears of grain after him in whose sight I shall find favor.” And she said to her, “Go, my daughter.” So she set out and went and gleaned in the field after the reapers, and she happened to come to the part of the field belonging to Boaz, who was of the clan of Elimelech.

‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭16‬:‭33‬‬
The lot is cast into the lap, but its every decision is from the Lord.

3. Redemption

‭‭Ruth‬ ‭4‬:‭14‬-‭15‬‬
Then the women said to Naomi, “Blessed be the Lord, who has not left you this day without a redeemer, and may his name be renowned in Israel! He shall be to you a restorer of life and a nourisher of your old age, for your daughter-in-law who loves you, who is more to you than seven sons, has given birth to him.”

‭‭Ruth‬ ‭4‬:‭18‬-‭21‬‬
Now these are the generations of Perez: Perez fathered Hezron, Hezron fathered Ram, Ram fathered Amminadab, Amminadab fathered Nahshon, Nahshon fathered Salmon, Salmon fathered Boaz, Boaz fathered Obed,

‭‭S. Mateo‬ ‭1‬:‭1‬-‭25‬‬
Libro de la genealogía de Jesucristo, hijo de David, hijo de Abraham. Abraham engendró a Isaac, Isaac a Jacob, y Jacob a Judá y a sus hermanos. Judá engendró de Tamar a Fares y a Zara, Fares a Esrom, y Esrom a Aram. Aram engendró a Aminadab, Aminadab a Naasón, y Naasón a Salmón. Salmón engendró de Rahab a Booz, Booz engendró de Rut a Obed, y Obed a Isaí. Isaí engendró al rey David, y el rey David engendró a Salomón de la que fue mujer de Urías. Salomón engendró a Roboam, Roboam a Abías, y Abías a Asa. Asa engendró a Josafat, Josafat a Joram, y Joram a Uzías. Uzías engendró a Jotam, Jotam a Acaz, y Acaz a Ezequías. Ezequías engendró a Manasés, Manasés a Amón, y Amón a Josías. Josías engendró a Jeconías y a sus hermanos, en el tiempo de la deportación a Babilonia. Después de la deportación a Babilonia, Jeconías engendró a Salatiel, y Salatiel a Zorobabel. Zorobabel engendró a Abiud, Abiud a Eliaquim, y Eliaquim a Azor. Azor engendró a Sadoc, Sadoc a Aquim, y Aquim a Eliud. Eliud engendró a Eleazar, Eleazar a Matán, Matán a Jacob; y Jacob engendró a José, marido de María, de la cual nació Jesús, llamado el Cristo. De manera que todas las generaciones desde Abraham hasta David son catorce; desde David hasta la deportación a Babilonia, catorce; y desde la deportación a Babilonia hasta Cristo, catorce. El nacimiento de Jesucristo fue así: Estando desposada María su madre con José, antes que se juntasen, se halló que había concebido del Espíritu Santo. José su marido, como era justo, y no quería infamarla, quiso dejarla secretamente. Y pensando él en esto, he aquí un ángel del Señor le apareció en sueños y le dijo: José, hijo de David, no temas recibir a María tu mujer, porque lo que en ella es engendrado, del Espíritu Santo es. Y dará a luz un hijo, y llamarás su nombre JESÚS, porque él salvará a su pueblo de sus pecados. Todo esto aconteció para que se cumpliese lo dicho por el Señor por medio del profeta, cuando dijo: He aquí, una virgen concebirá y dará a luz un hijo, Y llamarás su nombre Emanuel, que traducido es: Dios con nosotros. Y despertando José del sueño, hizo como el ángel del Señor le había mandado, y recibió a su mujer. Pero no la conoció hasta que dio a luz a su hijo primogénito; y le puso por nombre JESÚS.

‭‭Josué‬ ‭2‬:‭1‬-‭24‬‬
Josué hijo de Nun envió desde Sitim dos espías secretamente, diciéndoles: Andad, reconoced la tierra, y a Jericó. Y ellos fueron, y entraron en casa de una ramera que se llamaba Rahab, y posaron allí. Y fue dado aviso al rey de Jericó, diciendo: He aquí que hombres de los hijos de Israel han venido aquí esta noche para espiar la tierra. Entonces el rey de Jericó envió a decir a Rahab: Saca a los hombres que han venido a ti, y han entrado a tu casa; porque han venido para espiar toda la tierra. Pero la mujer había tomado a los dos hombres y los había escondido; y dijo: Es verdad que unos hombres vinieron a mí, pero no supe de dónde eran. Y cuando se iba a cerrar la puerta, siendo ya oscuro, esos hombres se salieron, y no sé a dónde han ido; seguidlos aprisa, y los alcanzaréis. Mas ella los había hecho subir al terrado, y los había escondido entre los manojos de lino que tenía puestos en el terrado. Y los hombres fueron tras ellos por el camino del Jordán, hasta los vados; y la puerta fue cerrada después que salieron los perseguidores. Antes que ellos se durmiesen, ella subió al terrado, y les dijo: Sé que Jehová os ha dado esta tierra; porque el temor de vosotros ha caído sobre nosotros, y todos los moradores del país ya han desmayado por causa de vosotros. Porque hemos oído que Jehová hizo secar las aguas del Mar Rojo delante de vosotros cuando salisteis de Egipto, y lo que habéis hecho a los dos reyes de los amorreos que estaban al otro lado del Jordán, a Sehón y a Og, a los cuales habéis destruido. Oyendo esto, ha desmayado nuestro corazón; ni ha quedado más aliento en hombre alguno por causa de vosotros, porque Jehová vuestro Dios es Dios arriba en los cielos y abajo en la tierra. Os ruego pues, ahora, que me juréis por Jehová, que como he hecho misericordia con vosotros, así la haréis vosotros con la casa de mi padre, de lo cual me daréis una señal segura; y que salvaréis la vida a mi padre y a mi madre, a mis hermanos y hermanas, y a todo lo que es suyo; y que libraréis nuestras vidas de la muerte. Ellos le respondieron: Nuestra vida responderá por la vuestra, si no denunciareis este asunto nuestro; y cuando Jehová nos haya dado la tierra, nosotros haremos contigo misericordia y verdad. Entonces ella los hizo descender con una cuerda por la ventana; porque su casa estaba en el muro de la ciudad, y ella vivía en el muro. Y les dijo: Marchaos al monte, para que los que fueron tras vosotros no os encuentren; y estad escondidos allí tres días, hasta que los que os siguen hayan vuelto; y después os iréis por vuestro camino. Y ellos le dijeron: Nosotros quedaremos libres de este juramento con que nos has juramentado. He aquí, cuando nosotros entremos en la tierra, tú atarás este cordón de grana a la ventana por la cual nos descolgaste; y reunirás en tu casa a tu padre y a tu madre, a tus hermanos y a toda la familia de tu padre. Cualquiera que saliere fuera de las puertas de tu casa, su sangre será sobre su cabeza, y nosotros sin culpa. Mas cualquiera que se estuviere en casa contigo, su sangre será sobre nuestra cabeza, si mano le tocare. Y si tú denunciares este nuestro asunto, nosotros quedaremos libres de este tu juramento con que nos has juramentado. Ella respondió: Sea así como habéis dicho. Luego los despidió, y se fueron; y ella ató el cordón de grana a la ventana. Y caminando ellos, llegaron al monte y estuvieron allí tres días, hasta que volvieron los que los perseguían; y los que los persiguieron buscaron por todo el camino, pero no los hallaron. Entonces volvieron los dos hombres; descendieron del monte, y pasaron, y vinieron a Josué hijo de Nun, y le contaron todas las cosas que les habían acontecido. Y dijeron a Josué: Jehová ha entregado toda la tierra en nuestras manos; y también todos los moradores del país desmayan delante de nosotros.

‭‭Matthew‬ ‭1‬:‭5‬‬
Salmon fathered Boaz by Rahab, Boaz fathered Obed by Ruth, Obed fathered Jesse,

‭‭Joshua‬ ‭2‬:‭8‬-‭21‬‬
Before the men fell asleep, she went up on the roof and said to them, “I know that the Lord has given you this land and that the terror of you has fallen on us, and everyone who lives in the land is panicking because of you. For we have heard how the Lord dried up the water of the Red Sea before you when you came out of Egypt, and what you did to Sihon and Og, the two Amorite kings you completely destroyed across the Jordan. When we heard this, we lost heart, and everyone’s courage failed because of you, for the Lord your God is God in heaven above and on earth below. Now please swear to me by the Lord that you will also show kindness to my father’s family, because I showed kindness to you. Give me a sure sign that you will spare the lives of my father, mother, brothers, sisters, and all who belong to them, and save us from death.” The men answered her, “We will give our lives for yours. If you don’t report our mission, we will show kindness and faithfulness to you when the Lord gives us the land.” Then she let them down by a rope through the window, since she lived in a house that was built into the wall of the city. “Go to the hill country so that the men pursuing you won’t find you,” she said to them. “Hide there for three days until they return; afterward, go on your way.” The men said to her, “We will be free from this oath you made us swear, unless, when we enter the land, you tie this scarlet cord to the window through which you let us down. Bring your father, mother, brothers, and all your father’s family into your house. If anyone goes out the doors of your house, his death will be his own fault, and we will be innocent. But if anyone with you in the house should be harmed, his death will be our fault. And if you report our mission, we are free from the oath you made us swear.” “Let it be as you say,” she replied, and she sent them away. After they had gone, she tied the scarlet cord to the window.

‭‭Joshua‬ ‭6‬:‭20‬-‭25‬‬
So the troops shouted, and the rams’ horns sounded. When they heard the blast of the ram’s horn, the troops gave a great shout, and the wall collapsed. The troops advanced into the city, each man straight ahead, and they captured the city. They completely destroyed everything in the city with the sword — every man and woman, both young and old, and every ox, sheep, and donkey. Joshua said to the two men who had scouted the land, “Go to the prostitute’s house and bring the woman out of there, and all who are with her, just as you swore to her.” So the young men who had scouted went in and brought out Rahab and her father, mother, brothers, and all who belonged to her. They brought out her whole family and settled them outside the camp of Israel. They burned the city and everything in it, but they put the silver and gold and the articles of bronze and iron into the treasury of the Lord’s house. However, Joshua spared Rahab the prostitute, her father’s family, and all who belonged to her, because she hid the messengers Joshua had sent to spy on Jericho, and she still lives in Israel today.

Obeying God doesn’t mean your walls will never fall down.

‭‭Joshua‬ ‭6‬:‭20‬‬
So the troops shouted, and the rams’ horns sounded. When they heard the blast of the ram’s horn, the troops gave a great shout, and the wall collapsed. The troops advanced into the city, each man straight ahead, and they captured the city.

The Savior of the world was coming for ALL.

‭‭Matthew‬ ‭1‬:‭5‬‬
Salmon fathered Boaz by Rahab, Boaz fathered Obed by Ruth, Obed fathered Jesse,

‭‭2 Samuel‬ ‭22‬:‭28‬‬
You rescue an oppressed people, but your eyes are set against the proud — you humble them.

‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭66‬:‭1‬‬
This is what the Lord says: Heaven is my throne, and earth is my footstool. Where could you possibly build a house for me? And where would my resting place be?

‭‭Matthew‬ ‭23‬:‭12‬‬
Whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.

‭‭1 Peter‬ ‭5‬:‭5‬-‭6‬‬
In the same way, you who are younger, be subject to the elders. All of you clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, because God resists the proud but gives grace to the humble. Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God, so that he may exalt you at the proper time,

‭‭1 Peter‬ ‭5‬:‭5‬-‭6‬‬
In the same way, you who are younger, be subject to the elders. All of you clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, because God resists the proud but gives grace to the humble. Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God, so that he may exalt you at the proper time,

‭‭Joshua‬ ‭6‬:‭22‬-‭25‬‬
Joshua said to the two men who had scouted the land, “Go to the prostitute’s house and bring the woman out of there, and all who are with her, just as you swore to her.” So the young men who had scouted went in and brought out Rahab and her father, mother, brothers, and all who belonged to her. They brought out her whole family and settled them outside the camp of Israel. They burned the city and everything in it, but they put the silver and gold and the articles of bronze and iron into the treasury of the Lord’s house. However, Joshua spared Rahab the prostitute, her father’s family, and all who belonged to her, because she hid the messengers Joshua had sent to spy on Jericho, and she still lives in Israel today.

‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭11‬:‭31‬‬
By faith Rahab the prostitute welcomed the spies in peace and didn’t perish with those who disobeyed.

‭‭James‬ ‭2‬:‭24‬-‭26‬‬
You see that a person is justified by works and not by faith alone. In the same way, wasn’t Rahab the prostitute also justified by works in receiving the messengers and sending them out by a different route? For just as the body without the spirit is dead, so also faith without works is dead.

A Scandalous Sorority - Rahab
Joshua 2:8-21

‭‭Joshua‬ ‭2‬:‭8‬-‭21‬‬
Before the men lay down, she came up to them on the roof and said to the men, “I know that the Lord has given you the land, and that the fear of you has fallen upon us, and that all the inhabitants of the land melt away before you. For we have heard how the Lord dried up the water of the Red Sea before you when you came out of Egypt, and what you did to the two kings of the Amorites who were beyond the Jordan, to Sihon and Og, whom you devoted to destruction. And as soon as we heard it, our hearts melted, and there was no spirit left in any man because of you, for the Lord your God, he is God in the heavens above and on the earth beneath. Now then, please swear to me by the Lord that, as I have dealt kindly with you, you also will deal kindly with my father’s house, and give me a sure sign that you will save alive my father and mother, my brothers and sisters, and all who belong to them, and deliver our lives from death.” And the men said to her, “Our life for yours even to death! If you do not tell this business of ours, then when the Lord gives us the land we will deal kindly and faithfully with you.” Then she let them down by a rope through the window, for her house was built into the city wall, so that she lived in the wall. And she said to them, “Go into the hills, or the pursuers will encounter you, and hide there three days until the pursuers have returned. Then afterward you may go your way.” The men said to her, “We will be guiltless with respect to this oath of yours that you have made us swear. Behold, when we come into the land, you shall tie this scarlet cord in the window through which you let us down, and you shall gather into your house your father and mother, your brothers, and all your father’s household. Then if anyone goes out of the doors of your house into the street, his blood shall be on his own head, and we shall be guiltless. But if a hand is laid on anyone who is with you in the house, his blood shall be on our head. But if you tell this business of ours, then we shall be guiltless with respect to your oath that you have made us swear.” And she said, “According to your words, so be it.” Then she sent them away, and they departed. And she tied the scarlet cord in the window.

1. A saving faith

‭‭Joshua‬ ‭2‬:‭9‬-‭11‬‬
and said to the men, “I know that the Lord has given you the land, and that the fear of you has fallen upon us, and that all the inhabitants of the land melt away before you. For we have heard how the Lord dried up the water of the Red Sea before you when you came out of Egypt, and what you did to the two kings of the Amorites who were beyond the Jordan, to Sihon and Og, whom you devoted to destruction. And as soon as we heard it, our hearts melted, and there was no spirit left in any man because of you, for the Lord your God, he is God in the heavens above and on the earth beneath.

‭‭James‬ ‭2‬:‭24‬-‭26‬‬
You see that a person is justified by works and not by faith alone. And in the same way was not also Rahab the prostitute justified by works when she received the messengers and sent them out by another way? For as the body apart from the spirit is dead, so also faith apart from works is dead.

‭‭James‬ ‭2‬:‭14‬‬
What good is it, my brothers, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can that faith save him?

‭‭James‬ ‭2‬:‭18‬‬
But someone will say, “You have faith and I have works.” Show me your faith apart from your works, and I will show you my faith by my works.

2. A sharing faith

3. A staying faith

‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭15‬:‭1‬‬
Now I would remind you, brothers, of the gospel I preached to you, which you received, in which you stand,

Jesus' Checkered Pedigree - Tamar
Genesis 38:11-14 & 24-26

Genesis 38:11-14 & 24-26
11 Then Judah said to Tamar, his daughter-in-law, “Go back to your parents’ home and remain a widow until my son Shelah is old enough to marry you.” (But Judah didn’t really intend to do this because he was afraid Shelah would also die, like his two brothers.) So Tamar went back to live in her father’s home.
12 Some years later Judah’s wife died. After the time of mourning was over, Judah and his friend Hirah the Adullamite went up to Timnah to supervise the shearing of his sheep. 13 Someone told Tamar, “Look, your father-in-law is going up to Timnah to shear his sheep.”
14 Tamar was aware that Shelah had grown up, but no arrangements had been made for her to come and marry him. So she changed out of her widow’s clothing and covered herself with a veil to disguise herself. Then she sat beside the road at the entrance to the village of Enaim, which is on the road to Timnah.

24 About three months later, Judah was told, “Tamar, your daughter-in-law, has acted like a prostitute. And now, because of this, she’s pregnant.” “Bring her out, and let her be burned!” Judah demanded.
25 But as they were taking her out to kill her, she sent this message to her father-in-law: “The man who owns these things made me pregnant. Look closely. Whose seal and cord and walking stick are these?” 26 Judah recognized them immediately and said, “She is more righteous than I am, because I didn’t arrange for her to marry my son Shelah.”

1. The Characters

a. Character 1 – Judah

b. Character 2 – Tamar

2. The context in Scripture

Genesis 43:9
I will be a pledge of his safety. From my hand you shall require him. If I do not bring him back to you and set him before you, then let me bear the blame forever.

3. The connection to Christmas

Genesis 43:9
I will be a pledge of his safety. From my hand you shall require him. If I do not bring him back to you and set him before you, then let me bear the blame forever.

Tamar: El secreto mejor guardado
Mateo 1
==========

‭‭S. Mateo‬ ‭1‬:‭1‬-‭25‬‬
Libro de la genealogía de Jesucristo, hijo de David, hijo de Abraham. Abraham engendró a Isaac, Isaac a Jacob, y Jacob a Judá y a sus hermanos. Judá engendró de Tamar a Fares y a Zara, Fares a Esrom, y Esrom a Aram. Aram engendró a Aminadab, Aminadab a Naasón, y Naasón a Salmón. Salmón engendró de Rahab a Booz, Booz engendró de Rut a Obed, y Obed a Isaí. Isaí engendró al rey David, y el rey David engendró a Salomón de la que fue mujer de Urías. Salomón engendró a Roboam, Roboam a Abías, y Abías a Asa. Asa engendró a Josafat, Josafat a Joram, y Joram a Uzías. Uzías engendró a Jotam, Jotam a Acaz, y Acaz a Ezequías. Ezequías engendró a Manasés, Manasés a Amón, y Amón a Josías. Josías engendró a Jeconías y a sus hermanos, en el tiempo de la deportación a Babilonia. Después de la deportación a Babilonia, Jeconías engendró a Salatiel, y Salatiel a Zorobabel. Zorobabel engendró a Abiud, Abiud a Eliaquim, y Eliaquim a Azor. Azor engendró a Sadoc, Sadoc a Aquim, y Aquim a Eliud. Eliud engendró a Eleazar, Eleazar a Matán, Matán a Jacob; y Jacob engendró a José, marido de María, de la cual nació Jesús, llamado el Cristo. De manera que todas las generaciones desde Abraham hasta David son catorce; desde David hasta la deportación a Babilonia, catorce; y desde la deportación a Babilonia hasta Cristo, catorce. El nacimiento de Jesucristo fue así: Estando desposada María su madre con José, antes que se juntasen, se halló que había concebido del Espíritu Santo. José su marido, como era justo, y no quería infamarla, quiso dejarla secretamente. Y pensando él en esto, he aquí un ángel del Señor le apareció en sueños y le dijo: José, hijo de David, no temas recibir a María tu mujer, porque lo que en ella es engendrado, del Espíritu Santo es. Y dará a luz un hijo, y llamarás su nombre JESÚS, porque él salvará a su pueblo de sus pecados. Todo esto aconteció para que se cumpliese lo dicho por el Señor por medio del profeta, cuando dijo: He aquí, una virgen concebirá y dará a luz un hijo, Y llamarás su nombre Emanuel, que traducido es: Dios con nosotros. Y despertando José del sueño, hizo como el ángel del Señor le había mandado, y recibió a su mujer. Pero no la conoció hasta que dio a luz a su hijo primogénito; y le puso por nombre JESÚS.

1. Los planes de Dios son más grandes que tus _____________.

2. No se trata de tu pasado sino de tu futuro.

3. Tamar está en la familia de Jesús. ¡Tú También lo estas!

SED AGRADECIDOS
1 TESALONICENSES 5:18
==========

‭‭1 Tesalonicenses‬ ‭5‬:‭18‬‬
Dad gracias en todo, porque esta es la voluntad de Dios para con vosotros en Cristo Jesús.

1. AGRADECER EN LOS MOMENTOS DIFICILES Y COMPLICADOS DE LA VIDA. PORQUE?

- Porque es alli donde aprendemos a confiar y a depender de Dios. cuando las situaciones son dificiles. es alli donde vamos a crecer en la fe, es alli donde estaremos creciendo, si no pasamos por las dificultades entonces no creceremos.
- Es alli donde aprenderemos las mejores y mayores lecciones de fe y, es esperanza, es un aprendizaje, de los errores se aprende, de las caidas nos levantamos.
- Es alli donde realmente aprenderemos a valorar lo que Dios nos ha Dado. todas las bendiciones que hemos recibido cada uno de nosotros, todos los beneficios reciibidos

2. AGRADECER EN LOS MOMENTOS AGRADABLES QUE DIOS NOS DA.

Tiempos con mi familia
Tiempos con los hermanos en la iglesia
Fuerzas para trabajar
Milagros recibidos

Lucas 17:16 y se postró rostro en tierra a sus pies, dándole gracias; y este era samaritano.

3. QUE EL AGRADECIMIENTO SEA UN ESTILO DE VIDA EN NOSOTROS

Estilo Ingrato
2 Timoteo 3:1-2 También debes saber esto: que en los postreros días vendrán tiempos peligrosos. 2 Porque habrá hombres amadores de sí mismos, avaros, vanagloriosos, soberbios, blasfemos, desobedientes a los padres, ingratos, impíos,... etc.

Por lo general es Amargado, no ve lo bueno que lo rodea, ve mas facilmete los errores y los problemas que las cosas positivas. siempre esta quejandose y olvida facilmente los favores recibidos de otros y sobre todo los favores de Dios sobre su vida.
Estilo Agradecido
Por lo general es una persona positiva, ( hasta podria decirse mas feliz) es generoso, puede ver las virtudes de otros y puede apreciar todo lo que lo rodea.

Tiene un corazon sano y trata a los demas con respeto y con buena actitud. Se alegra por sus logros y por los logros de otros.

CONCLUSION:
QUE NUESTRA VIDA SEA UN REFLEJO DEL AMOR DE DIOS, DIOS HA SIDO BUENO CON CADA UNO DE NOSOTROS, PORQUE TARDAMOS EN RENDIRNOS A EL, PORQUE NOS CUESTA TANTO SI SABEMOS QUE EL HIZO LA MAYOR ENTREGA POR NOSOTROS.

SALMO 103:1 “Bendice, alma mía, a Jehová, Y bendiga todo mi ser su santo nombre. 2 Bendice, alma mía, a Jehová, Y no olvides ninguno de sus beneficios. 3 Él es quien perdona todas tus iniquidades, El que sana todas tus dolencias; 4 El que rescata del hoyo tu vida, El que te corona de favores y misericordias; 5 El que sacia de bien tu boca De modo que te rejuvenezcas como el águila.”

‭‭Mark‬ ‭14‬:‭12‬-‭26‬‬
On the first day of Unleavened Bread, when they sacrifice the Passover lamb, his disciples asked him, “Where do you want us to go and prepare the Passover so that you may eat it?” So he sent two of his disciples and told them, “Go into the city, and a man carrying a jar of water will meet you. Follow him. Wherever he enters, tell the owner of the house, ‘The Teacher says, “Where is my guest room where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?”’ He will show you a large room upstairs, furnished and ready. Make the preparations for us there.” So the disciples went out, entered the city, and found it just as he had told them, and they prepared the Passover. When evening came, he arrived with the Twelve. While they were reclining and eating, Jesus said, “Truly I tell you, one of you will betray me — one who is eating with me.” They began to be distressed and to say to him one by one, “Surely not I?” He said to them, “It is one of the Twelve — the one who is dipping bread in the bowl with me. For the Son of Man will go just as it is written about him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would have been better for him if he had not been born.” As they were eating, he took bread, blessed and broke it, gave it to them, and said, “Take it; this is my body.” Then he took a cup, and after giving thanks, he gave it to them, and they all drank from it. He said to them, “This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many. Truly I tell you, I will no longer drink of the fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new in the kingdom of God.” After singing a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.

Searching
Matthew 2:1-12 CSB

‭‭Matthew‬ ‭2‬:‭1‬-‭12‬‬
After Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of King Herod, wise men from the east arrived in Jerusalem, saying, “Where is he who has been born king of the Jews? For we saw his star at its rising and have come to worship him.” When King Herod heard this, he was deeply disturbed, and all Jerusalem with him. So he assembled all the chief priests and scribes of the people and asked them where the Messiah would be born. “In Bethlehem of Judea,” they told him, “because this is what was written by the prophet: And you, Bethlehem, in the land of Judah, are by no means least among the rulers of Judah: Because out of you will come a ruler who will shepherd my people Israel.” Then Herod secretly summoned the wise men and asked them the exact time the star appeared. He sent them to Bethlehem and said, “Go and search carefully for the child. When you find him, report back to me so that I too can go and worship him.” After hearing the king, they went on their way. And there it was — the star they had seen at its rising. It led them until it came and stopped above the place where the child was. When they saw the star, they were overwhelmed with joy. Entering the house, they saw the child with Mary his mother, and falling to their knees, they worshiped him. Then they opened their treasures and presented him with gifts: gold, frankincense, and myrrh. And being warned in a dream not to go back to Herod, they returned to their own country by another route.

Romanos 8:31-39
==========

‭‭Romanos‬ ‭8‬:‭31‬-‭39‬‬
¿Qué, pues, diremos a esto? Si Dios es por nosotros, ¿quién contra nosotros? El que no escatimó ni a su propio Hijo, sino que lo entregó por todos nosotros, ¿cómo no nos dará también con él todas las cosas? ¿Quién acusará a los escogidos de Dios? Dios es el que justifica. ¿Quién es el que condenará? Cristo es el que murió; más aun, el que también resucitó, el que además está a la diestra de Dios, el que también intercede por nosotros. ¿Quién nos separará del amor de Cristo? ¿Tribulación, o angustia, o persecución, o hambre, o desnudez, o peligro, o espada? Como está escrito: Por causa de ti somos muertos todo el tiempo; Somos contados como ovejas de matadero. Antes, en todas estas cosas somos más que vencedores por medio de aquel que nos amó. Por lo cual estoy seguro de que ni la muerte, ni la vida, ni ángeles, ni principados, ni potestades, ni lo presente, ni lo por venir, ni lo alto, ni lo profundo, ni ninguna otra cosa creada nos podrá separar del amor de Dios, que es en Cristo Jesús Señor nuestro.

1. Quién puede estar en contra nuestra?
- ¡Nadie! Dios, no nos negó a su propio Hijo, nos dará todas las cosas.

2. Quién puede acusarnos?
- ¡Nadie! ¡Dios, nos ha justificado!

3. Quién puede condenarnos?
- ¡Nadie! ¡Cristo Jesús es el que murió e incluso resucitó y está a la derecha de Dios e intercede por nosotros!

4. Quién puede separarnos de Dios?
- ¡Nadie! ¡Porque Cristo nos ama!

Romans 8:12-19

‭‭Romans‬ ‭8‬:‭12‬-‭19‬‬
So then, brothers, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh. For if you live according to the flesh you will die, but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God. For you did not receive the spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received the Spirit of adoption as sons, by whom we cry, “Abba! Father!” The Spirit himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, provided we suffer with him in order that we may also be glorified with him. For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us. For the creation waits with eager longing for the revealing of the sons of God.

1. Obligation

‭‭Romans‬ ‭8‬:‭12‬‬
So then, brothers, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh.

2. Identification

‭‭Romans‬ ‭8‬:‭15‬‬
For you did not receive the spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received the Spirit of adoption as sons, by whom we cry, “Abba! Father!”

‭‭Romans‬ ‭8‬:‭17‬‬
and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, provided we suffer with him in order that we may also be glorified with him.

‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭1‬:‭2‬-‭3‬‬
but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed the heir of all things, through whom also he created the world. He is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of his nature, and he upholds the universe by the word of his power. After making purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high,

‭‭Romans‬ ‭8‬:‭16‬‬
The Spirit himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God,

‭‭Romans‬ ‭8‬:‭13‬-‭14‬‬
For if you live according to the flesh you will die, but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God.

‭‭1 John‬ ‭3‬:‭1‬‬
See what kind of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God; and so we are. The reason why the world does not know us is that it did not know him.

3. Glorification

‭‭Romans‬ ‭8‬:‭17‬-‭18‬‬
and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, provided we suffer with him in order that we may also be glorified with him. For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us.

‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭1‬:‭13‬-‭14‬‬
In him you also, when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and believed in him, were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit, who is the guarantee of our inheritance until we acquire possession of it, to the praise of his glory.

‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭2‬:‭9‬‬
But, as it is written, “What no eye has seen, nor ear heard, nor the heart of man imagined, what God has prepared for those who love him”—

‭‭Luke‬ ‭17‬:‭11‬-‭19‬‬
While traveling to Jerusalem, he passed between Samaria and Galilee. As he entered a village, ten men with leprosy met him. They stood at a distance and raised their voices, saying, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!” When he saw them, he told them, “Go and show yourselves to the priests.” And while they were going, they were cleansed. But one of them, seeing that he was healed, returned and, with a loud voice, gave glory to God. He fell facedown at his feet, thanking him. And he was a Samaritan. Then Jesus said, “Were not ten cleansed? Where are the nine? Didn’t any return to give glory to God except this foreigner?” And he told him, “Get up and go on your way. Your faith has saved you.”

1. Jesus comes to where you are
· His Presence


Leviticus 13:45-46
45 “Anyone with such a defiling disease must wear torn clothes, let their hair be unkempt, cover the lower part of their face and cry out, ‘Unclean! Unclean!’ 46 As long as they have the disease they remain unclean. They must live alone; they must live outside the camp.


2. Jesus shows you who He is
· His Power

‭‭Luke‬ ‭17‬:‭14‬‬
When he saw them, he told them, “Go and show yourselves to the priests.” And while they were going, they were cleansed.

1 Corinthians 15:58
… be steadfast, immovable, always excelling in the Lord’s work, knowing that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.


Colossians 1:6
All over the world this gospel is bearing fruit and growing…


3. Jesus changes you from who you were
-His Promise

‭‭Luke‬ ‭17‬:‭15‬-‭19‬‬
But one of them, seeing that he was healed, returned and, with a loud voice, gave glory to God. He fell facedown at his feet, thanking him. And he was a Samaritan. Then Jesus said, “Were not ten cleansed? Where are the nine? Didn’t any return to give glory to God except this foreigner?” And he told him, “Get up and go on your way. Your faith has saved you.”

Romans 5:5
This hope will not disappoint us, because God’s love has been poured out in our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.


Because of what Jesus has done, our hope gives us the promise that everything will turn out okay, even if everything doesn't appear to be okay, right now.


Romans 8:28
We know that all things work together for the good of those who love God, who are called according to his purpose.


George Washington, 1789
"By the President of the United States of America. A proclamation: Whereas, it is the duty of all nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey His will, to be grateful for His benefits, and humbly to implore His protection and favor, and

"Whereas, Both Houses of Congress have by their joint committee requested me `to recommend to the people of the United States a day of Public Thanksgiving and Prayer, to be observed by acknowledging with grateful hearts the many signal favors of Almighty God. . .’

"Now, Therefore I do recommend and assign Thursday, the 26th day of November next, to be devoted by the People of these States to the service of that great and glorious Being who is the benevolent Author of all the good that was, that is, or that will be..."

‭‭John‬ ‭17‬:‭3‬‬
This is eternal life: that they may know you, the only true God, and the one you have sent — Jesus Christ.

‭‭Romans‬ ‭7‬:‭14‬-‭25‬‬
For we know that the law is spiritual, but I am of the flesh, sold as a slave under sin. For I do not understand what I am doing, because I do not practice what I want to do, but I do what I hate. Now if I do what I do not want to do, I agree with the law that it is good. So now I am no longer the one doing it, but it is sin living in me. For I know that nothing good lives in me, that is, in my flesh. For the desire to do what is good is with me, but there is no ability to do it. For I do not do the good that I want to do, but I practice the evil that I do not want to do. Now if I do what I do not want, I am no longer the one that does it, but it is the sin that lives in me. So I discover this law: When I want to do what is good, evil is present with me. For in my inner self I delight in God’s law, but I see a different law in the parts of my body, waging war against the law of my mind and taking me prisoner to the law of sin in the parts of my body. What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body of death? Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, with my mind I myself am serving the law of God, but with my flesh, the law of sin.

“People are slaves to whatever controls them.”
2 Peter 2:19

1. ​What is Your Sin?

3. How Can You Have Victory Over Your Sin?

1 Corinthians 10:13
“No temptation has seized you except what is common to man, and God is faithful: He will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear, but when you are tempted He will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it.”

Get honest with God and Others

1 John 1:9
“If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”

James. 5:16
“Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is very powerful in its effect. ”

Rely on God and His Word

Romans 8:2-3
The law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and death. 3 For what the law could not do since it was weakened by the flesh, God did. He condemned sin in the flesh by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh as a sin offering,

Hebrews 4:12
For the word of God is living and effective and sharper than any double-edged sword, penetrating as far as the separation of soul and spirit, joints and marrow. It is able to judge the ideas and thoughts of the heart.

Psalm 119:11
“I have treasured Your word in my heart so that I may not sin against You.”

Scripture is poison to your sin!

If you’re not willing to put more of God’s word into your mind, then you’re not willing to fight for victory over your sin.

Galatians 5:16
“I say then, walk by the Spirit and you will certainly not carry out the desire of the flesh”

How Do You Handle the Truth About Salvation
Romans 6:1-7; 11-18

‭‭Romans‬ ‭6‬:‭1‬-‭7‬‬
What shall we say then? Are we to continue in sin that grace may abound? By no means! How can we who died to sin still live in it? Do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? We were buried therefore with him by baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life. For if we have been united with him in a death like his, we shall certainly be united with him in a resurrection like his. We know that our old self was crucified with him in order that the body of sin might be brought to nothing, so that we would no longer be enslaved to sin. For one who has died has been set free from sin.

‭‭Romans‬ ‭6‬:‭11‬-‭18‬‬
So you also must consider yourselves dead to sin and alive to God in Christ Jesus. Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, to make you obey its passions. Do not present your members to sin as instruments for unrighteousness, but present yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life, and your members to God as instruments for righteousness. For sin will have no dominion over you, since you are not under law but under grace. What then? Are we to sin because we are not under law but under grace? By no means! Do you not know that if you present yourselves to anyone as obedient slaves, you are slaves of the one whom you obey, either of sin, which leads to death, or of obedience, which leads to righteousness? But thanks be to God, that you who were once slaves of sin have become obedient from the heart to the standard of teaching to which you were committed, and, having been set free from sin, have become slaves of righteousness.

1. Understand truths of salvation

‭‭Romans‬ ‭6‬:‭3‬-‭4‬‬
Do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? We were buried therefore with him by baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life.

‭‭Romans‬ ‭6‬:‭5‬‬
For if we have been united with him in a death like his, we shall certainly be united with him in a resurrection like his.

‭‭Romans‬ ‭6‬:‭6‬‬
We know that our old self was crucified with him in order that the body of sin might be brought to nothing, so that we would no longer be enslaved to sin.

2. Appropriate truths of salvation

‭‭Romans‬ ‭6‬:‭11‬‬
So you also must consider yourselves dead to sin and alive to God in Christ Jesus.

‭‭Colossians‬ ‭3‬:‭1‬-‭3‬‬
If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth. For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.

3. Apply truths of salvation

‭‭Romans‬ ‭5‬:‭2‬‬
Through him we have also obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God.

‭‭Romans‬ ‭5‬:‭3‬-‭5‬‬
Not only that, but we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.

Romanos 6:1-13
==========

‭‭Romanos‬ ‭6‬:‭1‬-‭13‬‬
¿Qué, pues, diremos? ¿Perseveraremos en el pecado para que la gracia abunde? En ninguna manera. Porque los que hemos muerto al pecado, ¿cómo viviremos aún en él? ¿O no sabéis que todos los que hemos sido bautizados en Cristo Jesús, hemos sido bautizados en su muerte? Porque somos sepultados juntamente con él para muerte por el bautismo, a fin de que como Cristo resucitó de los muertos por la gloria del Padre, así también nosotros andemos en vida nueva. Porque si fuimos plantados juntamente con él en la semejanza de su muerte, así también lo seremos en la de su resurrección; sabiendo esto, que nuestro viejo hombre fue crucificado juntamente con él, para que el cuerpo del pecado sea destruido, a fin de que no sirvamos más al pecado. Porque el que ha muerto, ha sido justificado del pecado. Y si morimos con Cristo, creemos que también viviremos con él; sabiendo que Cristo, habiendo resucitado de los muertos, ya no muere; la muerte no se enseñorea más de él. Porque en cuanto murió, al pecado murió una vez por todas; mas en cuanto vive, para Dios vive. Así también vosotros consideraos muertos al pecado, pero vivos para Dios en Cristo Jesús, Señor nuestro. No reine, pues, el pecado en vuestro cuerpo mortal, de modo que lo obedezcáis en sus concupiscencias; ni tampoco presentéis vuestros miembros al pecado como instrumentos de iniquidad, sino presentaos vosotros mismos a Dios como vivos de entre los muertos, y vuestros miembros a Dios como instrumentos de justicia.

‭‭Romanos‬ ‭6‬:‭1‬-‭13‬‬
¿Qué concluiremos? ¿Vamos a persistir en el pecado para que la gracia abunde? ¡De ninguna manera! Nosotros, que hemos muerto al pecado, ¿cómo podemos seguir viviendo en él? ¿Acaso no saben ustedes que todos los que fuimos bautizados para unirnos con Cristo Jesús en realidad fuimos bautizados para participar en su muerte? Por tanto, mediante el bautismo fuimos sepultados con él en su muerte. De modo que, así como Cristo resucitó por el glorioso poder del Padre, también nosotros andemos en una vida nueva. En efecto, si hemos estado unidos con él en una muerte como la suya, sin duda también estaremos unidos con él en su resurrección. Sabemos que nuestra vieja naturaleza fue crucificada con él para que nuestro cuerpo pecaminoso perdiera su poder, de modo que ya no siguiéramos siendo esclavos del pecado; porque el que muere queda liberado del pecado. Ahora bien, si hemos muerto con Cristo, confiamos en que también viviremos con él. Pues sabemos que Cristo, por haber sido levantado de entre los muertos, ya no puede volver a morir; la muerte ya no tiene dominio sobre él. En cuanto a su muerte, murió al pecado una vez y para siempre; en cuanto a su vida, vive para Dios. De la misma manera, también ustedes considérense muertos al pecado, pero vivos para Dios en Cristo Jesús. Por lo tanto, no permitan ustedes que el pecado reine en su cuerpo mortal ni obedezcan a sus malos deseos. No ofrezcan los miembros de su cuerpo al pecado como instrumentos de injusticia; al contrario, ofrézcanse más bien a Dios como quienes han vuelto de la muerte a la vida, presentando los miembros de su cuerpo como instrumentos de justicia.

“Como yo ya soy salvo, Cristo me ama. Mi alma ha sido redimida, y no importa que viva en pecado”.

“Si puedo cumplir las reglas al pie de la letra, Dios me va a bendecir, por eso yo me estoy esforzando."

‭‭Romans‬ ‭6‬:‭1‬-‭10‬‬
What should we say then? Should we continue in sin so that grace may multiply? Absolutely not! How can we who died to sin still live in it? Or are you unaware that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? Therefore we were buried with him by baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, so we too may walk in newness of life. For if we have been united with him in the likeness of his death, we will certainly also be in the likeness of his resurrection. For we know that our old self was crucified with him so that the body ruled by sin might be rendered powerless so that we may no longer be enslaved to sin, since a person who has died is freed from sin. Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him, because we know that Christ, having been raised from the dead, will not die again. Death no longer rules over him. For the death he died, he died to sin once for all time; but the life he lives, he lives to God.

Don't Trust How You Feel... Trust What God Has Declared

‭‭Romans‬ ‭6‬:‭11‬-‭14‬‬
So, you too consider yourselves dead to sin and alive to God in Christ Jesus. Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body, so that you obey its desires. And do not offer any parts of it to sin as weapons for unrighteousness. But as those who are alive from the dead, offer yourselves to God, and all the parts of yourselves to God as weapons for righteousness. For sin will not rule over you, because you are not under the law but under grace.

Don't Trust How You Feel... Trust What God Has Declared

‭‭Romans‬ ‭6‬:‭15‬-‭23‬‬
What then? Should we sin because we are not under the law but under grace? Absolutely not! Don’t you know that if you offer yourselves to someone as obedient slaves, you are slaves of that one you obey  — either of sin leading to death or of obedience leading to righteousness? But thank God that, although you used to be slaves of sin, you obeyed from the heart that pattern of teaching to which you were handed over, and having been set free from sin, you became enslaved to righteousness. I am using a human analogy because of the weakness of your flesh. For just as you offered the parts of yourselves as slaves to impurity, and to greater and greater lawlessness, so now offer them as slaves to righteousness, which results in sanctification. For when you were slaves of sin, you were free with regard to righteousness. So what fruit was produced then from the things you are now ashamed of? The outcome of those things is death. But now, since you have been set free from sin and have become enslaved to God, you have your fruit, which results in sanctification  — and the outcome is eternal life! For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Forgiveness - victory over death

Freedom - victory over sin

Forever - victory over hell

The Blessings of Salvation
Romans 5:1-11

‭‭Romans‬ ‭5‬:‭1‬-‭11‬‬
Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. Through him we have also obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God. Not only that, but we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us. For while we were still weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly. For one will scarcely die for a righteous person—though perhaps for a good person one would dare even to die— but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Since, therefore, we have now been justified by his blood, much more shall we be saved by him from the wrath of God. For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, now that we are reconciled, shall we be saved by his life. More than that, we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation.

1. Peace with God

‭‭Romans‬ ‭5‬:‭1‬‬
Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.

‭‭Colossians‬ ‭1‬:‭19‬-‭20‬‬
For in him all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell, and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether on earth or in heaven, making peace by the blood of his cross.

‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭26‬:‭3‬‬
You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you, because he trusts in you.

2. Access to grace

‭‭Romans‬ ‭5‬:‭2‬‬
Through him we have also obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God.

3. Rejoice in the promise of heaven

‭‭Romans‬ ‭5‬:‭2‬‬
Through him we have also obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God.

4. Rejoice in our present suffering

‭‭Romans‬ ‭5‬:‭3‬-‭5‬‬
Not only that, but we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.

‭‭1 Peter‬ ‭1‬:‭6‬-‭7‬‬
In this you rejoice, though now for a little while, if necessary, you have been grieved by various trials, so that the tested genuineness of your faith—more precious than gold that perishes though it is tested by fire—may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ.

Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. We have also obtained access through him by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we boast in the hope of the glory of God.

‭‭Romans‬ ‭2‬:‭1‬-‭11‬‬
Therefore, every one of you who judges is without excuse. For when you judge another, you condemn yourself, since you, the judge, do the same things. Now we know that God’s judgment on those who do such things is based on the truth. Do you think — anyone of you who judges those who do such things yet do the same — that you will escape God’s judgment? Or do you despise the riches of his kindness, restraint, and patience, not recognizing that God’s kindness is intended to lead you to repentance? Because of your hardened and unrepentant heart you are storing up wrath for yourself in the day of wrath, when God’s righteous judgment is revealed. He will repay each one according to his works: eternal life to those who by persistence in doing good seek glory, honor, and immortality; but wrath and anger to those who are self-seeking and disobey the truth while obeying unrighteousness. There will be affliction and distress for every human being who does evil, first to the Jew, and also to the Greek; but glory, honor, and peace for everyone who does what is good, first to the Jew, and also to the Greek. For there is no favoritism with God.

‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭2‬:‭8‬-‭9‬‬
For you are saved by grace through faith, and this is not from yourselves; it is God’s gift —  not from works, so that no one can boast.

‭‭James‬ ‭2‬:‭6‬‬
Yet you have dishonored the poor. Don’t the rich oppress you and drag you into court?

‭‭Matthew‬ ‭7‬:‭15‬-‭20‬‬
“Be on your guard against false prophets who come to you in sheep’s clothing but inwardly are ravaging wolves. You’ll recognize them by their fruit. Are grapes gathered from thornbushes or figs from thistles? In the same way, every good tree produces good fruit, but a bad tree produces bad fruit. A good tree can’t produce bad fruit; neither can a bad tree produce good fruit. Every tree that doesn’t produce good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. So you’ll recognize them by their fruit.

‭‭Romans‬ ‭2‬:‭13‬‬
For the hearers of the law are not righteous before God, but the doers of the law will be justified.

‭‭James‬ ‭1‬:‭22‬‬
But be doers of the word and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.

‭‭Romans‬ ‭2‬:‭14‬-‭29‬‬
So, when Gentiles, who do not by nature have the law, do what the law demands, they are a law to themselves even though they do not have the law. They show that the work of the law is written on their hearts. Their consciences confirm this. Their competing thoughts either accuse or even excuse them on the day when God judges what people have kept secret, according to my gospel through Christ Jesus. Now if you call yourself a Jew, and rely on the law, and boast in God, and know his will, and approve the things that are superior, being instructed from the law, and if you are convinced that you are a guide for the blind, a light to those in darkness, an instructor of the ignorant, a teacher of the immature, having the embodiment of knowledge and truth in the law —  you then, who teach another, don’t you teach yourself? You who preach, “You must not steal” — do you steal? You who say, “You must not commit adultery” — do you commit adultery? You who detest idols, do you rob temples? You who boast in the law, do you dishonor God by breaking the law? For, as it is written: The name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you. Circumcision benefits you if you observe the law, but if you are a lawbreaker, your circumcision has become uncircumcision. So if an uncircumcised man keeps the law’s requirements, will not his uncircumcision be counted as circumcision? A man who is physically uncircumcised, but who keeps the law, will judge you who are a lawbreaker in spite of having the letter of the law and circumcision. For a person is not a Jew who is one outwardly, and true circumcision is not something visible in the flesh. On the contrary, a person is a Jew who is one inwardly, and circumcision is of the heart — by the Spirit, not the letter. That person’s praise is not from people but from God.

‭‭Romans‬ ‭1‬:‭16‬-‭32‬‬
For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, first to the Jew, and also to the Greek. For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith, just as it is written: The righteous will live by faith. For God’s wrath is revealed from heaven against all godlessness and unrighteousness of people who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth, since what can be known about God is evident among them, because God has shown it to them. For his invisible attributes, that is, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen since the creation of the world, being understood through what he has made. As a result, people are without excuse. For though they knew God, they did not glorify him as God or show gratitude. Instead, their thinking became worthless, and their senseless hearts were darkened. Claiming to be wise, they became fools and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images resembling mortal man, birds, four-footed animals, and reptiles. Therefore God delivered them over in the desires of their hearts to sexual impurity, so that their bodies were degraded among themselves. They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served what has been created instead of the Creator, who is praised forever. Amen. For this reason God delivered them over to disgraceful passions. Their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones. The men in the same way also left natural relations with women and were inflamed in their lust for one another. Men committed shameless acts with men and received in their own persons the appropriate penalty of their error. And because they did not think it worthwhile to acknowledge God, God delivered them over to a corrupt mind so that they do what is not right. They are filled with all unrighteousness, evil, greed, and wickedness. They are full of envy, murder, quarrels, deceit, and malice. They are gossips, slanderers, God-haters, arrogant, proud, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents, senseless, untrustworthy, unloving, and unmerciful. Although they know God’s just sentence — that those who practice such things deserve to die  — they not only do them, but even applaud others who practice them.

Leviticus 18:22
Do not lie with a man as one lies with a woman; that is detestable.

Leviticus 20:13
If a man lies with a man as one lies with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They must be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads.

1 Corinthians 6:9-11
Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.

2 Chronicles 7:14
If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.

Psalms 33:12
Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD, the people He has chosen as His own inheritance.

Psalm 46:10-11 ESV
“Be still, and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!” The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress.


1) Silence & Solitude give us space to encounter God’s presence.


2) Silence & Solitude allow you to refocus your attention on God in the middle of the noise of life.


Mark 1:35 ESV
And rising very early in the morning, while it was still dark, he departed and went out to a desolate place, and there he prayed.


Luke 5:15-16 ESV
15 “But now even more the report about him went abroad, and great crowds gathered to hear him and to be healed of their infirmities. 16 But he would withdraw to desolate places and pray.”


3) Silence & Solitude are a source of strength.


Matthew 3:16 – 4:3a ESV
16 And when Jesus was baptized, immediately he went up from the water, and behold, the heavens were opened to him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and coming to rest on him; 17 and behold, a voice from heaven said, “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased.”

Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. 2 And after fasting forty days and forty nights, he was hungry. 3 And the tempter came…


Tips to embrace silence and solitude this week:
· Find little solitudes throughout your day.

· Create a place in your home or find a spot in the community to practice silence and solitude.

"The Habit of Service"
Matthew 20:20-28

‭‭Matthew‬ ‭20‬:‭20‬-‭28‬‬
Then the mother of the sons of Zebedee came up to him with her sons, and kneeling before him she asked him for something. And he said to her, “What do you want?” She said to him, “Say that these two sons of mine are to sit, one at your right hand and one at your left, in your kingdom.” Jesus answered, “You do not know what you are asking. Are you able to drink the cup that I am to drink?” They said to him, “We are able.” He said to them, “You will drink my cup, but to sit at my right hand and at my left is not mine to grant, but it is for those for whom it has been prepared by my Father.” And when the ten heard it, they were indignant at the two brothers. But Jesus called them to him and said, “You know that the rulers of the Gentiles Lord it over them, and their great ones exercise authority over them. It shall not be so among you. But whoever would be great among you must be your servant, and whoever would be first among you must be your slave, even as the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”

1. Serving others defines greatness


Philippians 2:4-8 ESV
4 Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others. 5 Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, 6 who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, 7 but emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. 8 And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross.


2. We serve others because of who we are


John 13:12-15 ESV
12 When he had washed their feet and put on his outer garments and resumed his place, he said to them, “Do you understand what I have done to you? 13 You call me Teacher and Lord, and you are right, for so I am. 14 If I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another’s feet. 15 For I have given you an example, that you also should do just as I have done to you.


3. Serving others results in blessings


John 13:17 ESV
If you know these things, blessed are you if you do them.

‭‭Luke‬ ‭18‬:‭1‬-‭8‬‬
Now he told them a parable on the need for them to pray always and not give up. “There was a judge in a certain town who didn’t fear God or respect people. And a widow in that town kept coming to him, saying, ‘Give me justice against my adversary.’ “For a while he was unwilling, but later he said to himself, ‘Even though I don’t fear God or respect people, yet because this widow keeps pestering me, I will give her justice, so that she doesn’t wear me out by her persistent coming.’” Then the Lord said, “Listen to what the unjust judge says. Will not God grant justice to his elect who cry out to him day and night? Will he delay helping them? I tell you that he will swiftly grant them justice. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on earth?”

Pray Always


Philippians 4:6-7
“Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank Him for all He has done. 7Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.”

James 1:6-7
“But when he asks, he must believe and not doubt, because he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. That man should not think he will receive anything from the Lord.”

John 5:14-15
“This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. And if we know that He hears us–whatever we ask–we know that we have what we asked of Him.”


Don't Give Up


Psalm 55:16-17
“I call to God, and the Lord saves me. Evening, morning, and noon I cry out in distress, and he hears my voice.”

And he told them a parable to the effect that they ought always to pray and not lose heart. He said, “In a certain city there was a judge who neither feared God nor respected man. And there was a widow in that city who kept coming to him and saying, ‘Give me justice against my adversary.’ For a while he refused, but afterward he said to himself, ‘Though I neither fear God nor respect man, yet because this widow keeps bothering me, I will give her justice, so that she will not beat me down by her continual coming.’” And the Lord said, “Hear what the unrighteous judge says. And will not God give justice to his elect, who cry to him day and night? Will he delay long over them? I tell you, he will give justice to them speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on earth?”

Consequences of a Greedy Heart

‭‭Luke‬ ‭12‬:‭1‬-‭13‬‬
Meanwhile, a crowd of many thousands came together, so that they were trampling on one another. He began to say to his disciples first, “Be on your guard against the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy. There is nothing covered that won’t be uncovered, nothing hidden that won’t be made known. Therefore, whatever you have said in the dark will be heard in the light, and what you have whispered in an ear in private rooms will be proclaimed on the housetops. “I say to you, my friends, don’t fear those who kill the body, and after that can do nothing more. But I will show you the one to fear: Fear him who has authority to throw people into hell after death. Yes, I say to you, this is the one to fear! Aren’t five sparrows sold for two pennies? Yet not one of them is forgotten in God’s sight. Indeed, the hairs of your head are all counted. Don’t be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows. “And I say to you, anyone who acknowledges me before others, the Son of Man will also acknowledge him before the angels of God, but whoever denies me before others will be denied before the angels of God. Anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but the one who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven. Whenever they bring you before synagogues and rulers and authorities, don’t worry about how you should defend yourselves or what you should say. For the Holy Spirit will teach you at that very hour what must be said.” Someone from the crowd said to him, “Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me.”

‭‭Ecclesiastes‬ ‭5‬:‭10‬‬
Those who love money will never have enough. How meaningless to think that wealth brings true happiness!

CONSEQUENCES OF A GREEDY HEART:

1. You give credit to the wrong person. (v. 16-19a)

2. You make plans for the wrong reason. (v. 17-18)

3. You place faith in the wrong belief. (v. 19)

‭‭James‬ ‭4‬:‭13‬-‭16‬‬
Come now, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will travel to such and such a city and spend a year there and do business and make a profit.” Yet you do not know what tomorrow will bring — what your life will be! For you are like vapor that appears for a little while, then vanishes. Instead, you should say, “If the Lord wills, we will live and do this or that.” But as it is, you boast in your arrogance. All such boasting is evil.

CONSEQUENCES OF A GREEDY HEART:

4. You spend time on the wrong pursuit. (v. 20)

Psalm 14:1 says, “The fool has said in his heart there is no God.”

5. You live life with the wrong focus. (v. 21)

The Parable of the Soils
Matthew 13:1-9

‭‭Matthew‬ ‭13‬:‭1‬-‭9‬‬
That same day Jesus went out of the house and sat beside the sea. And great crowds gathered about him, so that he got into a boat and sat down. And the whole crowd stood on the beach. And he told them many things in parables, saying: “A sower went out to sow. And as he sowed, some seeds fell along the path, and the birds came and devoured them. Other seeds fell on rocky ground, where they did not have much soil, and immediately they sprang up, since they had no depth of soil, but when the sun rose they were scorched. And since they had no root, they withered away. Other seeds fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked them. Other seeds fell on good soil and produced grain, some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty. He who has ears, let him hear.”

1. The haters

2. Our hearts

a. Hard vv. 18-19

b. Shallow vv. 20-21

c. Divided v. 22

‭‭Matthew‬ ‭6‬:‭24‬‬
“No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and money.

2d. Fruitful v. 23

3. Our hope

‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭55‬:‭10‬-‭11‬‬
“For as the rain and the snow come down from heaven and do not return there but water the earth, making it bring forth and sprout, giving seed to the sower and bread to the eater, so shall my word be that goes out from my mouth; it shall not return to me empty, but it shall accomplish that which I purpose, and shall succeed in the thing for which I sent it.

‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭1‬:‭18‬‬
For the word of the cross is folly to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.

Lucas 8:4-15
==========

‭‭S. Lucas‬ ‭8‬:‭4‬-‭15‬‬
Juntándose una gran multitud, y los que de cada ciudad venían a él, les dijo por parábola: El sembrador salió a sembrar su semilla; y mientras sembraba, una parte cayó junto al camino, y fue hollada, y las aves del cielo la comieron. Otra parte cayó sobre la piedra; y nacida, se secó, porque no tenía humedad. Otra parte cayó entre espinos, y los espinos que nacieron juntamente con ella, la ahogaron. Y otra parte cayó en buena tierra, y nació y llevó fruto a ciento por uno. Hablando estas cosas, decía a gran voz: El que tiene oídos para oír, oiga. Y sus discípulos le preguntaron, diciendo: ¿Qué significa esta parábola? Y él dijo: A vosotros os es dado conocer los misterios del reino de Dios; pero a los otros por parábolas, para que viendo no vean, y oyendo no entiendan. Esta es, pues, la parábola: La semilla es la palabra de Dios. Y los de junto al camino son los que oyen, y luego viene el diablo y quita de su corazón la palabra, para que no crean y se salven. Los de sobre la piedra son los que habiendo oído, reciben la palabra con gozo; pero estos no tienen raíces; creen por algún tiempo, y en el tiempo de la prueba se apartan. La que cayó entre espinos, estos son los que oyen, pero yéndose, son ahogados por los afanes y las riquezas y los placeres de la vida, y no llevan fruto. Mas la que cayó en buena tierra, estos son los que con corazón bueno y recto retienen la palabra oída, y dan fruto con perseverancia.

1. Escuchar Su Palabra, es Dios llamándonos.

2. Escuchar su Palabra, es una lucha espiritual.

3. Escuchar Su Palabra, es recibir más de Dios.

‭‭Mark‬ ‭4‬:‭1‬-‭20‬‬
Again Jesus began to teach by the lake. The crowd that gathered around him was so large that he got into a boat and sat in it out on the lake, while all the people were along the shore at the water’s edge. He taught them many things by parables, and in his teaching said: “Listen! A farmer went out to sow his seed. As he was scattering the seed, some fell along the path, and the birds came and ate it up. Some fell on rocky places, where it did not have much soil. It sprang up quickly, because the soil was shallow. But when the sun came up, the plants were scorched, and they withered because they had no root. Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up and choked the plants, so that they did not bear grain. Still other seed fell on good soil. It came up, grew and produced a crop, some multiplying thirty, some sixty, some a hundred times.” Then Jesus said, “Whoever has ears to hear, let them hear.” When he was alone, the Twelve and the others around him asked him about the parables. He told them, “The secret of the kingdom of God has been given to you. But to those on the outside everything is said in parables so that, “ ‘they may be ever seeing but never perceiving, and ever hearing but never understanding; otherwise they might turn and be forgiven!’ ” Then Jesus said to them, “Don’t you understand this parable? How then will you understand any parable? The farmer sows the word. Some people are like seed along the path, where the word is sown. As soon as they hear it, Satan comes and takes away the word that was sown in them. Others, like seed sown on rocky places, hear the word and at once receive it with joy. But since they have no root, they last only a short time. When trouble or persecution comes because of the word, they quickly fall away. Still others, like seed sown among thorns, hear the word; but the worries of this life, the deceitfulness of wealth and the desires for other things come in and choke the word, making it unfruitful. Others, like seed sown on good soil, hear the word, accept it, and produce a crop—some thirty, some sixty, some a hundred times what was sown.”

‭‭Luke‬ ‭12‬‬
Meanwhile, a crowd of many thousands came together, so that they were trampling on one another. He began to say to his disciples first, “Be on your guard against the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy. There is nothing covered that won’t be uncovered, nothing hidden that won’t be made known.

El Rico Insensato
Lucas 12:13-21
==========

‭‭S. Lucas‬ ‭12‬:‭13‬-‭21‬‬
Le dijo uno de la multitud: Maestro, di a mi hermano que parta conmigo la herencia. Mas él le dijo: Hombre, ¿quién me ha puesto sobre vosotros como juez o partidor? Y les dijo: Mirad, y guardaos de toda avaricia; porque la vida del hombre no consiste en la abundancia de los bienes que posee. También les refirió una parábola, diciendo: La heredad de un hombre rico había producido mucho. Y él pensaba dentro de sí, diciendo: ¿Qué haré, porque no tengo dónde guardar mis frutos? Y dijo: Esto haré: derribaré mis graneros, y los edificaré mayores, y allí guardaré todos mis frutos y mis bienes; y diré a mi alma: Alma, muchos bienes tienes guardados para muchos años; repósate, come, bebe, regocíjate. Pero Dios le dijo: Necio, esta noche vienen a pedirte tu alma; y lo que has provisto, ¿de quién será? Así es el que hace para sí tesoro, y no es rico para con Dios.

1. EL CUIDADO QUE TODO CRISTIANO DEBEMOS TENER ENTRE EL SABER GUARDAR Y SER AVARICIOSO.

2. EL CUIDADO QUE TODO CRISTIANO DEBEMOS TENER EN CONSULTAR A DIOS Y SOMETER NUESTROS PLANES Y ANHELOS DELANTE DEL SENOR.

3. EL ENTENDIMIENTO QUE TODO CRISTIANO DEBEMOS TENER EN RECONOCER QUE TODO LO QUE HEMOS RECIBIDO HA SIDO DADO POR DIOS Y NO SE DEBE OLVIDAR DE AGRADECERLO DE TODO CORAZON.

4. LA PASION QUE TODO CRISTIANO DEBEMOS TENER POR COMPARTIR DE LO QUE TENEMOS Y SOBRE TODO LA PASION POR INVERTIR EN EL REINO DE DIOS.

CONCLUSION:
El Señor nos hace un llamado a la reflexion con esta parabola, como todas ellas, nos llama a pensar en cuales son nuestras prioridades, hacia donde apuntan nuestro planes y proyectos y que espera Dios de cada uno de nosotros que decimos ser hijos suyos.

‭‭Luke‬ ‭15‬:‭25‬-‭32‬‬
“Now his older son was in the field; as he came near the house, he heard music and dancing. So he summoned one of the servants, questioning what these things meant. ‘Your brother is here,’ he told him, ‘and your father has slaughtered the fattened calf because he has him back safe and sound.’ “Then he became angry and didn’t want to go in. So his father came out and pleaded with him. But he replied to his father, ‘Look, I have been slaving many years for you, and I have never disobeyed your orders, yet you never gave me a goat so that I could celebrate with my friends. But when this son of yours came, who has devoured your assets with prostitutes, you slaughtered the fattened calf for him.’ “‘Son,’ he said to him, ‘you are always with me, and everything I have is yours. But we had to celebrate and rejoice, because this brother of yours was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.’”

‭‭S. Mateo‬ ‭9‬:‭16‬‬
Nadie pone remiendo de paño nuevo en vestido viejo; porque tal remiendo tira del vestido, y se hace peor la rotura.

1. No podemos continuar viviendo bajo la ley y la gracia.

2. No podemos remendar nuestra vida y esperar lo mejor.

3. Para que Dios haga algo nuevo, debemos ser hechos nuevos.

Dios no está interesado en remendar nuestra vida.
Él quiere hacer de nosotros …una nueva persona.

"Parable: The Prodigal Son"

‭‭Luke‬ ‭15‬:‭11‬-‭24‬‬
He also said, “A man had two sons. The younger of them said to his father, ‘Father, give me the share of the estate I have coming to me.’ So he distributed the assets to them. Not many days later, the younger son gathered together all he had and traveled to a distant country, where he squandered his estate in foolish living. After he had spent everything, a severe famine struck that country, and he had nothing. Then he went to work for one of the citizens of that country, who sent him into his fields to feed pigs. He longed to eat his fill from the pods that the pigs were eating, but no one would give him anything. When he came to his senses, he said, ‘How many of my father’s hired workers have more than enough food, and here I am dying of hunger! I’ll get up, go to my father, and say to him, “Father, I have sinned against heaven and in your sight. I’m no longer worthy to be called your son. Make me like one of your hired workers.”’ So he got up and went to his father. But while the son was still a long way off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion. He ran, threw his arms around his neck, and kissed him. The son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and in your sight. I’m no longer worthy to be called your son.’ “But the father told his servants, ‘Quick! Bring out the best robe and put it on him; put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet. Then bring the fattened calf and slaughter it, and let’s celebrate with a feast, because this son of mine was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found! ’ So they began to celebrate.

The Compassionate Father: Part One

‭‭Luke‬ ‭15‬:‭1‬-‭24‬‬
Now the tax collectors and sinners were all drawing near to hear him. And the Pharisees and the scribes grumbled, saying, “This man receives sinners and eats with them.” So he told them this parable: “What man of you, having a hundred sheep, if he has lost one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the open country, and go after the one that is lost, until he finds it? And when he has found it, he lays it on his shoulders, rejoicing. And when he comes home, he calls together his friends and his neighbors, saying to them, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep that was lost.’ Just so, I tell you, there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who need no repentance. “Or what woman, having ten silver coins, if she loses one coin, does not light a lamp and sweep the house and seek diligently until she finds it? And when she has found it, she calls together her friends and neighbors, saying, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found the coin that I had lost.’ Just so, I tell you, there is joy before the angels of God over one sinner who repents.” And he said, “There was a man who had two sons. And the younger of them said to his father, ‘Father, give me the share of property that is coming to me.’ And he divided his property between them. Not many days later, the younger son gathered all he had and took a journey into a far country, and there he squandered his property in reckless living. And when he had spent everything, a severe famine arose in that country, and he began to be in need. So he went and hired himself out to one of the citizens of that country, who sent him into his fields to feed pigs. And he was longing to be fed with the pods that the pigs ate, and no one gave him anything. “But when he came to himself, he said, ‘How many of my father’s hired servants have more than enough bread, but I perish here with hunger! I will arise and go to my father, and I will say to him, “Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son. Treat me as one of your hired servants.”’ And he arose and came to his father. But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and felt compassion, and ran and embraced him and kissed him. And the son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.’ But the father said to his servants, ‘Bring quickly the best robe, and put it on him, and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet. And bring the fattened calf and kill it, and let us eat and celebrate. For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found.’ And they began to celebrate.

"Life is Not Fair - Neither is God"

‭‭Matthew‬ ‭20‬:‭1‬-‭16‬‬
“For the kingdom of heaven is like a master of a house who went out early in the morning to hire laborers for his vineyard. After agreeing with the laborers for a denarius a day, he sent them into his vineyard. And going out about the third hour he saw others standing idle in the marketplace, and to them he said, ‘You go into the vineyard too, and whatever is right I will give you.’ So they went. Going out again about the sixth hour and the ninth hour, he did the same. And about the eleventh hour he went out and found others standing. And he said to them, ‘Why do you stand here idle all day?’ They said to him, ‘Because no one has hired us.’ He said to them, ‘You go into the vineyard too.’ And when evening came, the owner of the vineyard said to his foreman, ‘Call the laborers and pay them their wages, beginning with the last, up to the first.’ And when those hired about the eleventh hour came, each of them received a denarius. Now when those hired first came, they thought they would receive more, but each of them also received a denarius. And on receiving it they grumbled at the master of the house, saying, ‘These last worked only one hour, and you have made them equal to us who have borne the burden of the day and the scorching heat.’ But he replied to one of them, ‘Friend, I am doing you no wrong. Did you not agree with me for a denarius? Take what belongs to you and go. I choose to give to this last worker as I give to you. Am I not allowed to do what I choose with what belongs to me? Or do you begrudge my generosity?’ So the last will be first, and the first last.”

‭‭Matthew‬ ‭20‬:‭1‬-‭16‬‬
“For the kingdom of heaven is like a landowner who went out early in the morning to hire workers for his vineyard. After agreeing with the workers on one denarius, he sent them into his vineyard for the day. When he went out about nine in the morning, he saw others standing in the marketplace doing nothing. He said to them, ‘You also go into my vineyard, and I’ll give you whatever is right.’ So off they went. About noon and about three, he went out again and did the same thing. Then about five he went and found others standing around and said to them, ‘Why have you been standing here all day doing nothing?’ “‘Because no one hired us,’ they said to him. “‘You also go into my vineyard,’ he told them. When evening came, the owner of the vineyard told his foreman, ‘Call the workers and give them their pay, starting with the last and ending with the first.’ “When those who were hired about five came, they each received one denarius. So when the first ones came, they assumed they would get more, but they also received a denarius each. When they received it, they began to complain to the landowner: ‘These last men put in one hour, and you made them equal to us who bore the burden of the day’s work and the burning heat.’ “He replied to one of them, ‘Friend, I’m doing you no wrong. Didn’t you agree with me on a denarius? Take what’s yours and go. I want to give this last man the same as I gave you. Don’t I have the right to do what I want with what is mine? Are you jealous because I’m generous?’ “So the last will be first, and the first last.”

‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭14‬:‭30‬‬
A tranquil heart is life to the body, but jealousy is rottenness to the bones.

The Description of Envy

‭‭James‬ ‭3‬:‭16‬‬
For where there is envy and selfish ambition, there is disorder and every evil practice.

¿QUIÉN PUEDE ESTAR BIEN CON DIOS?
Lucas 18:9-14
==========

‭‭S. Lucas‬ ‭18‬:‭9‬-‭14‬‬
A unos que confiaban en sí mismos como justos, y menospreciaban a los otros, dijo también esta parábola: Dos hombres subieron al templo a orar: uno era fariseo, y el otro publicano. El fariseo, puesto en pie, oraba consigo mismo de esta manera: Dios, te doy gracias porque no soy como los otros hombres, ladrones, injustos, adúlteros, ni aun como este publicano; ayuno dos veces a la semana, doy diezmos de todo lo que gano. Mas el publicano, estando lejos, no quería ni aun alzar los ojos al cielo, sino que se golpeaba el pecho, diciendo: Dios, sé propicio a mí, pecador. Os digo que este descendió a su casa justificado antes que el otro; porque cualquiera que se enaltece, será humillado; y el que se humilla será enaltecido.

1. La Audiencia (18:9)
2. Los Dos Extremos (18:10-13)
3. La Respuesta Contradictoria (18:14a)
4. La Verdad Central (18:14b)

Conclusión

La verdadera adoración comienza cuando reconocemos delante de Dios lo que realmente somos; no está basada en nuestra moralidad; y más bien estimula un sincero quebrantamiento delante del Señor, quien es el único sujeto de nuestra adoración.

"Kingdom Responsibilites"

‭‭Luke‬ ‭17‬:‭1‬-‭10‬‬
And he said to his disciples, “Temptations to sin are sure to come, but woe to the one through whom they come! It would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck and he were cast into the sea than that he should cause one of these little ones to sin. Pay attention to yourselves! If your brother sins, rebuke him, and if he repents, forgive him, and if he sins against you seven times in the day, and turns to you seven times, saying, ‘I repent,’ you must forgive him.” The apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith!” And the Lord said, “If you had faith like a grain of mustard seed, you could say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be uprooted and planted in the sea,’ and it would obey you. “Will any one of you who has a servant plowing or keeping sheep say to him when he has come in from the field, ‘Come at once and recline at table’? Will he not rather say to him, ‘Prepare supper for me, and dress properly, and serve me while I eat and drink, and afterward you will eat and drink’? Does he thank the servant because he did what was commanded? So you also, when you have done all that you were commanded, say, ‘We are unworthy servants; we have only done what was our duty.’”

1. Self vs Others

"A Righteous Plot Twist"

‭‭Luke‬ ‭18‬:‭9‬-‭14‬‬
He also told this parable to some who trusted in themselves that they were righteous and looked down on everyone else: “Two men went up to the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. The Pharisee was standing and praying like this about himself: ‘God, I thank you that I’m not like other people — greedy, unrighteous, adulterers, or even like this tax collector. I fast twice a week; I give a tenth of everything I get.’ “But the tax collector, standing far off, would not even raise his eyes to heaven but kept striking his chest and saying, ‘God, have mercy on me, a sinner! ’ I tell you, this one went down to his house justified rather than the other, because everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but the one who humbles himself will be exalted.”

The Righteous
The Pharisee v. Tax Collector

The Reason
Outward v. Inward

The Response
Pride v. Humility

The World's Greatest Problem

‭‭Romans‬ ‭3‬:‭9‬-‭18‬‬
What then? Are we any better off? Not at all! For we have already charged that both Jews and Greeks are all under sin, as it is written: There is no one righteous, not even one. There is no one who understands; there is no one who seeks God. All have turned away; all alike have become worthless. There is no one who does what is good, not even one. Their throat is an open grave; they deceive with their tongues. Vipers’ venom is under their lips. Their mouth is full of cursing and bitterness. Their feet are swift to shed blood; ruin and wretchedness are in their paths, and the path of peace they have not known. There is no fear of God before their eyes.

Lostness is the world’s greatest problem


Lostness is an eternal problem


Lostness is a universal problem

‭‭Romans‬ ‭3‬:‭9‬-‭12‬‬
What then? Are we any better off? Not at all! For we have already charged that both Jews and Greeks are all under sin, as it is written: There is no one righteous, not even one.

‭‭Matthew‬ ‭12‬:‭34‬‬
Brood of vipers! How can you speak good things when you are evil? For the mouth speaks from the overflow of the heart.

The gospel is the only solution

‭‭Genesis‬ ‭3‬:‭13‬-‭15‬‬
So the Lord God asked the woman, “What have you done?” And the woman said, “The serpent deceived me, and I ate.” So the Lord God said to the serpent: Because you have done this, you are cursed more than any livestock and more than any wild animal. You will move on your belly and eat dust all the days of your life. I will put hostility between you and the woman, and between your offspring and her offspring. He will strike your head, and you will strike his heel.

‭‭John‬ ‭3‬:‭14‬-‭15‬‬
“Just as Moses lifted up the snake in the wilderness, so the Son of Man must be lifted up, so that everyone who believes in him may have eternal life.

Además, el reino de los cielos es semejante a un tesoro escondido en un campo, el cual un hombre halla, y lo esconde de nuevo; y gozoso por ello va y vende todo lo que tiene, y compra aquel campo.

"The Value of the Gospel"

‭‭Matthew‬ ‭13‬:‭44‬-‭46‬‬
“The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, which a man found and covered up. Then in his joy he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field. “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant in search of fine pearls, who, on finding one pearl of great value, went and sold all that he had and bought it.

The kingdom of heaven is not simply like a treasure, The kingdom of heaven is like the situation of finding the treasure, valuing it properly, and acting appropriately.


Mark 8:34b-36
If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake and the gospel’s will save it. For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world and forfeit his soul?

Mark 8:37-38
For what can a man give in return for his soul? For whoever is ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, of him will the Son of Man also be ashamed when he comes in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.”


Hebrews 1:3
He is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of his nature, and he upholds the universe by the word of his power.

The kingdom of heaven is not simply like a treasure, The kingdom of heaven is like the situation of finding the treasure, valuing it properly, and acting appropriately.

The Lord is My Shepherd

‭‭Psalms‬ ‭23‬:‭1‬-‭6‬‬
The Lord is my shepherd; I have what I need. He lets me lie down in green pastures; he leads me beside quiet waters. He renews my life; he leads me along the right paths for his name’s sake. Even when I go through the darkest valley, I fear no danger, for you are with me; your rod and your staff — they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; you anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. Only goodness and faithful love will pursue me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord as long as I live.

FEAR
Fear comes when I don’t see God as my provider and protector.

Fear will cause you to miss out on the promises of God.


FAITH
Only FAITH fixes fear.

Faith is about God being first.

Faith will take you to the promises of God.

‭‭Psalms‬ ‭23‬:‭4‬‬
Even when I go through the darkest valley, I fear no danger, for you are with me; your rod and your staff — they comfort me.

‭‭Jeremiah‬ ‭1‬:‭12‬‬
The Lord said to me, “You have seen correctly, for I watch over my word to accomplish it.”

FAVOR

‭‭Psalms‬ ‭23‬:‭4‬‬
Even when I go through the darkest valley, I fear no danger, for you are with me; your rod and your staff — they comfort me.

FAVOR

Favor means God is there.

‭‭Psalms‬ ‭23‬:‭6‬‬
Only goodness and faithful love will pursue me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord as long as I live.

No que lo haya alcanzado ya, ni que ya sea perfecto; sino que prosigo, por ver si logro asir aquello para lo cual fui también asido por Cristo Jesús. Hermanos, yo mismo no pretendo haberlo ya alcanzado; pero una cosa hago: olvidando ciertamente lo que queda atrás, y extendiéndome a lo que está delante, prosigo a la meta, al premio del supremo llamamiento de Dios en Cristo Jesús.

1. NUESTRA EVALUACION SE DEBE HACER CON BUENA ACTITUD

- Aunque ande en valle de sombra de muerte, No temeré mal alguno, porque tú estarás conmigo; Tu vara y tu cayado me infundirán aliento.
Salmo 23:4

- No que lo haya alcanzado ya, ni que ya sea perfecto; sino que prosigo, por ver si logro asir aquello para lo cual fui también asido por Cristo Jesús.
Filipenses 3:12

2. LAS EXPERIENCIAS DEL PASADO MARCAN TU VIDA PERO NO DETERMINARAN TU FUTURO

- Hermanos, yo mismo no pretendo haberlo ya alcanzado; pero una cosa hago: olvidando ciertamente lo que queda atrás

3. NUESTRA MIRADA DEBE ESTAR PUESTA HACIA ADELANTE (FE)

- El Apostol dijo:
...y extendiéndome a lo que está delante

- 25 Tus ojos miren lo recto, Y diríjanse tus párpados hacia lo que tienes delante.26 Examina la senda de tus pies, Y todos tus caminos sean rectos. 27 No te desvíes a la derecha ni a la izquierda; Aparta tu pie del mal. Proverbios 4: 25-27

4. LEVANTEMONOS Y PROSIGAMOS QUE NO ESTAMOS SOLO EN ESTE CAMINO

- Ustedes no han pasado por ninguna prueba que no sea humanamente soportable. Y pueden ustedes confiar en Dios, que no los dejará sufrir pruebas más duras de lo que pueden soportar. Por el contrario, cuando llegue la prueba, Dios les dará también la manera de salir de ella, para que puedan soportarla. 1 Corintios 10:13

- El apostol dijo: "... prosigo a la meta, al premio del supremo llamamiento de Dios en Cristo Jesús".

Challenges and Choices

‭‭Numbers‬ ‭13‬:‭30‬-‭33‬‬
Then Caleb quieted the people in the presence of Moses and said, “Let’s go up now and take possession of the land because we can certainly conquer it!” But the men who had gone up with him responded, “We can’t attack the people because they are stronger than we are!” So they gave a negative report to the Israelites about the land they had scouted: “The land we passed through to explore is one that devours its inhabitants, and all the people we saw in it are men of great size. We even saw the Nephilim there — the descendants of Anak come from the Nephilim! To ourselves we seemed like grasshoppers, and we must have seemed the same to them.”

1. God Has A Challenge
“Will you trust Me”


Numbers 13:1-2
“The LORD spoke to Moses: “Send men to scout out the land of Canaan (challenge) I am giving to the Israelites; (promise)”


Faith is - totally relying on God because you know that He won’t let you down.


God is more interested in your BELIEF than He is in your RELIEF!


2. We Have A Choice
​ *FEAR

‭‭Numbers‬ ‭14‬:‭1‬-‭4‬‬
Then the whole community broke into loud cries, and the people wept that night. All the Israelites complained about Moses and Aaron, and the whole community told them, “If only we had died in the land of Egypt, or if only we had died in this wilderness! Why is the Lord bringing us into this land to die by the sword? Our wives and children will become plunder. Wouldn’t it be better for us to go back to Egypt?” So they said to one another, “Let’s appoint a leader and go back to Egypt.”

‭‭Numbers‬ ‭14‬:‭33‬‬
Your children will be shepherds in the wilderness for forty years and bear the penalty for your acts of unfaithfulness until all your corpses lie scattered in the wilderness.

‭‭Numbers‬ ‭14‬:‭28‬-‭30‬‬
Tell them: As I live — this is the Lord’s declaration — I will do to you exactly as I heard you say. Your corpses will fall in this wilderness — all of you who were registered in the census, the entire number of you twenty years old or more  — because you have complained about me. I swear that none of you will enter the land I promised to settle you in, except Caleb son of Jephunneh and Joshua son of Nun.

2. We Have A Choice
​ *FEAR
*FAITH

‭‭Joshua‬ ‭2‬:‭23‬-‭24‬‬
Then the men returned, came down from the hill country, and crossed the Jordan. They went to Joshua son of Nun and reported everything that had happened to them. They told Joshua, “The Lord has handed over the entire land to us. Everyone who lives in the land is also panicking because of us.”

‭‭Joshua‬ ‭6‬:‭16‬, ‭20‬‬
After the seventh time, the priests blew the rams’ horns, and Joshua said to the troops, “Shout! For the Lord has given you the city. So the troops shouted, and the rams’ horns sounded. When they heard the blast of the ram’s horn, the troops gave a great shout, and the wall collapsed. The troops advanced into the city, each man straight ahead, and they captured the city.

God doesn’t guarantee that the journey will be easy, but He does guarantee that when you arrive at your destination, it will be the Promised Land.

"This Way to Happiness"

‭‭Psalm‬ ‭1‬:‭1‬-‭6‬‬
Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers; but his delight is in the law of the Lord, and on his law he meditates day and night. He is like a tree planted by streams of water that yields its fruit in its season, and its leaf does not wither. In all that he does, he prospers. The wicked are not so, but are like chaff that the wind drives away. Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous; for the Lord knows the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked will perish.

Live Out What You Want Your Kids to Value.

Isaiah 38:19
"Parents tell their children about God's faithfulness."

What you don’t prioritize, your kids will see as optional. What your kids see as optional, your grandkids will see as unnecessary.

‭‭Deuteronomy‬ ‭6‬:‭6‬-‭7‬‬
These words that I am giving you today are to be in your heart. Repeat them to your children. Talk about them when you sit in your house and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.

Tell Your Kids: “I’m Proud of You.”

Matthew 3:17
“This is My Son, Whom I love; with Him I am well pleased.”

Love Your Spouse.

‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭31‬:‭10‬-‭12‬‬
Who can find a wife of noble character? She is far more precious than jewels. The heart of her husband trusts in her, and he will not lack anything good. She rewards him with good, not evil, all the days of her life.

‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭5‬:‭25‬‬
Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself for her

"Women Heroes"

1. Esther
How to seek God and be courageous.

Esther 4:15-16 ESV
15 Then Esther told them to reply to Mordecai, 16 “Go, gather all the Jews to be found in Susa, and hold a fast on my behalf, and do not eat or drink for three days, night or day. I and my young women will also fast as you do. Then I will go to the king, though it is against the law, and if I perish, I perish.

2. Hannah
How to see God and prioritize God.

1 Samuel 4:1-8 ESV
4 On the day when Elkanah sacrificed, he would give portions to Peninnah his wife and to all her sons and daughters. 5 But to Hannah he gave a double portion, because he loved her, though the Lord had closed her womb. 6 And her rival used to provoke her grievously to irritate her, because the Lord had closed her womb. 7 So it went on year by year. As often as she went up to the house of the Lord, she used to provoke her. Therefore Hannah wept and would not eat. 8 And Elkanah, her husband, said to her, “Hannah, why do you weep? And why do you not eat? And why is your heart sad? Am I not more to you than ten sons?”

3. Deborah
How to obey God and help others be courageous.

Judges 4:4-6 & 8-9a
4 Now Deborah, a prophetess, the wife of Lappidoth, was judging Israel at that time. 5 She used to sit under the palm of Deborah between Ramah and Bethel in the hill country of Ephraim, and the people of Israel came up to her for judgment. 6 She sent and summoned Barak the son of Abinoam from Kedesh-naphtali and said to him, “Has not the Lord, the God of Israel, commanded you, ‘Go, gather your men at Mount Tabor, taking 10,000 from the people of Naphtali and the people of Zebulun... 8 Barak said to her, “If you will go with me, I will go, but if you will not go with me, I will not go.” 9 And she said, “I will surely go with you."

"Is Science Opposed to Faith?"

‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭11‬:‭1‬-‭3‬‬
Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see. This is what the ancients were commended for. By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God’s command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible.

1. Faith Based in REALITY. Vs. 1

2. Faith Based on HISTORY. Vs. 2

From 1901- 2000: 65% of Nobel Prize winners are professing Christians.
64% of Physics Winners
65% In Medicine Winners
74% in Chemistry Winners

If you exclude Nobel Prizes going to "Organizations" and just consider individuals:
78% are Christians
11% are Jewish
4% are atheist
2% are Buddhist
2% are Muslim
1% are Quakers
1% are Shinto
That is 96% of all Nobel Prize winners in the 20th Century are believers in God!

3. Faith Based on KNOWLEDGE. vs.3

Romans 1:20
For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities - His eternal power and divine nature - have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse.

Conclusion: The reality is most people do not reject God based on science, they reject God based on the actions of His followers!

Is Science Opposed to Faith?
Hebrews 11:1-3

‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭11‬:‭1‬-‭3‬‬
Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. For by it the people of old received their commendation. By faith we understand that the universe was created by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things that are visible.

“Let us be blunt. While it may appear open-minded, modest, and comforting to many, this conciliatory view is nonsense. Science and religion are diametrically opposed at their deepest philosophical levels. And, because the two world views make claims to the same intellectual territory — that of the origin of the universe and humankind’s relationship to it — conflict is inevitable.”
Norman Hall & Lucia Hall, Is the War Between Science and Religion Over?


“It is absolutely safe to say that if you meet somebody who claims not to believe in evolution, that person is ignorant, stupid or insane (or wicked, but I’d rather not consider that)”
Stephen Hawking, The New York Times, April 9. 1989.

“The world needs to wake up from the long nightmare of religion. Anything we scientists can do to weaken the hold of religion should be done, and may in fact be our greatest contribution to civilization”
Stephen Weinberg, New Scientist, Issue 2578, 18 Nov. 2006.

1. The nature of explanation


I have in mind such questions as: “How did everything begin?” “What are we all here for?” “What is the point of living?”
Peter Medawar, Advice to a Yong Scientist.


2. How did the universe begin?

The Kalam Argument
If something had a beginning, it must have had a cause.
The universe had a beginning.
Therefore the universe had a cause.

The Cause Must Be
Outside of time
Outside of space
Non-material
Incredibly powerful
Intelligent
Personal

3. Anthropic Fine-Tuning (design)

"It would be very difficult to explain why the universe should have begun in just this way, except as the act of a God who intended to create beings like us.”
Stephen Hawing, A Brief History of Time.

Alan Sandage, is considered the father of modern astronomy. He discovered quasars. He said, “I find it quite improbable that such order came out of chaos. There has to be some organizing principle. God to me is a mystery but is the explanation for the miracle of existence –why there is something instead of nothing.”
Alan Sandage, New York Times, 12 March 1991, p B9.

Baruch Aba Shalev, 100 Years of Nobel Prizes (1900-2000), 2005.

4. Objective Moral Law


"Everyone knows certain principles. There is no land where murder is virtue and gratitude is vice.”
-J Budziszewskie


“You are right in speaking of the moral foundations of science, but you cannot turn around and speak of the scientific foundations of morality.”

5. Love and Beauty

6. The Faith of Atheists


"Because there is a law such as gravity, the universe can and will create itself from nothing,”

“They produce no events: they state the pattern to which every event ….must conform, just as the rules of arithmetic state the pattern to which all transactions with money must conform – if you can get hold of any money."
- C. S. Lewis, Miracles.

"Why is there something rather than nothing? If not God, then what?"
Martin Heidegger, ISIS December 2007, 815.


John 1:1-4 ESV
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life, and the life was the light of men.

John 1:14 ESV
And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.

John 1:12-13 ESV
But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God, who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God.

"Marriage: Created by God"

‭‭Matthew‬ ‭19‬:‭3‬-‭9‬‬
Some Pharisees approached him to test him. They asked, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife on any grounds?” “Haven’t you read,” he replied, “that he who created them in the beginning made them male and female, and he also said, ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two will become one flesh’? So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore, what God has joined together, let no one separate.” “Why then,” they asked him, “did Moses command us to give divorce papers and to send her away?” He told them, “Moses permitted you to divorce your wives because of the hardness of your hearts, but it was not like that from the beginning. I tell you, whoever divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another commits adultery.”

God Created Mankind

‭‭Matthew‬ ‭19‬:‭4‬‬
“Haven’t you read,” he replied, “that he who created them in the beginning made them male and female,

God Created Marriage

‭‭Matthew‬ ‭19‬:‭5‬-‭6‬‬
and he also said, ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two will become one flesh’? So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore, what God has joined together, let no one separate.”

Marriage is a relationship where one man and one woman enter into a lifetime covenant before Creator God.

‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭5‬:‭25‬‬
Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself for her

‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭5‬:‭28‬‬
In the same way, husbands are to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself.

‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭5‬:‭22‬-‭24‬‬
Wives, submit to your husbands as to the Lord, because the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church. He is the Savior of the body. Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives are to submit to their husbands in everything.

‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭5‬:‭31‬-‭33‬‬
For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two will become one flesh. This mystery is profound, but I am talking about Christ and the church. To sum up, each one of you is to love his wife as himself, and the wife is to respect her husband.

God’s Design for Marriage
Matthew 19:1-8

‭‭Matthew‬ ‭19‬:‭1‬-‭8‬‬
Now when Jesus had finished these sayings, he went away from Galilee and entered the region of Judea beyond the Jordan. And large crowds followed him, and he healed them there. And Pharisees came up to him and tested him by asking, “Is it lawful to divorce one’s wife for any cause?” He answered, “Have you not read that he who created them from the beginning made them male and female, and said, ‘Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh’? So they are no longer two but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let not man separate.” They said to him, “Why then did Moses command one to give a certificate of divorce and to send her away?” He said to them, “Because of your hardness of heart Moses allowed you to divorce your wives, but from the beginning it was not so.

1. How does Jesus respond?

2. How does God define marriage?

‭‭Genesis‬ ‭1‬:‭27‬-‭28‬‬
So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. And God blessed them. And God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over every living thing that moves on the earth.”

‭‭Genesis‬ ‭2‬:‭24‬‬
Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh.

3. What are God's purposes for marriage?
a. Procreation
b. Companionship
c. Picture his love and faithfulness to us

‭‭Ecclesiastes‬ ‭3‬:‭11‬‬
He has made everything appropriate in its time. He has also put eternity in their hearts, but no one can discover the work God has done from beginning to end.

1. God created you and me to live forever.


2. God created 2 forever places.

‭‭John‬ ‭14‬:‭2‬-‭3‬‬
In my Father’s house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I am going to prepare a place for you? If I go away and prepare a place for you, I will come again and take you to myself, so that where I am you may be also.

‭‭Matthew‬ ‭25‬:‭41‬‬
“Then he will also say to those on the left, ‘Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels!

3. You choose your forever place.

‭‭Deuteronomy‬ ‭30‬:‭19‬‬
I call heaven and earth as witnesses against you today that I have set before you life and death, blessing and curse. Choose life so that you and your descendants may live,

4. You must make your choice now.

‭‭Romans‬ ‭3‬:‭23‬‬
For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God;

For all have sinned

‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭2‬:‭8‬-‭9‬‬
For you are saved by grace through faith, and this is not from yourselves; it is God’s gift —  not from works, so that no one can boast.

‭‭Romans‬ ‭6‬:‭23‬‬
For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

The wages/payment of sin is death

How can a sinful person enter Heaven where God allows no Sin?

‭‭Romans‬ ‭5‬:‭8‬‬
But God proves his own love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

Christ died for us

‭‭Romans‬ ‭10‬:‭9‬-‭10‬, ‭13‬‬
If you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. One believes with the heart, resulting in righteousness, and one confesses with the mouth, resulting in salvation. For everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.

A commitment is required
- Confess
- Believe
- Receive


How to receive Christ:
- Realize your sinfulness – (Romans 3:23)
- Realize sin’s penalty – (Romans 6:23)
- Realize what Jesus did for you – (Romans 5:8)
- Receive Jesus as your Savior & Lord – (Romans 10:9-10)

That Day
Acts 2:36-41

‭‭Acts‬ ‭2‬:‭41‬‬
So those who received his word were baptized, and there were added that day about three thousand souls.

‭‭Acts‬ ‭2‬:‭36‬-‭41‬‬
Let all the house of Israel therefore know for certain that God has made him both Lord and Christ, this Jesus whom you crucified.” Now when they heard this they were cut to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, “Brothers, what shall we do?” And Peter said to them, “Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. For the promise is for you and for your children and for all who are far off, everyone whom the Lord our God calls to himself.” And with many other words he bore witness and continued to exhort them, saying, “Save yourselves from this crooked generation.” So those who received his word were baptized, and there were added that day about three thousand souls.

‭‭Acts‬ ‭2‬:‭37‬‬
Now when they heard this they were cut to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, “Brothers, what shall we do?”

1. What did they hear?

‭‭Acts‬ ‭2‬:‭22‬-‭24‬‬
“Men of Israel, hear these words: Jesus of Nazareth, a man attested to you by God with mighty works and wonders and signs that God did through him in your midst, as you yourselves know— this Jesus, delivered up according to the definite plan and foreknowledge of God, you crucified and killed by the hands of lawless men. God raised him up, loosing the pangs of death, because it was not possible for him to be held by it.

‭‭Acts‬ ‭2‬:‭29‬‬
“Brothers, I may say to you with confidence about the patriarch David that he both died and was buried, and his tomb is with us to this day.

‭‭Acts‬ ‭2‬:‭32‬‬
This Jesus God raised up, and of that we all are witnesses.

2. How did they respond?

‭‭Acts‬ ‭2‬:‭37‬‬
Now when they heard this they were cut to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, “Brothers, what shall we do?”

‭‭Acts‬ ‭2‬:‭38‬‬
And Peter said to them, “Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

Ciudadanos del Cielo en la Tierra
Daniel 1:1-8
==========

‭‭S. Juan‬ ‭17‬:‭15‬-‭16‬‬
No ruego que los quites del mundo, sino que los guardes del mal. No son del mundo, como tampoco yo soy del mundo.

‭‭Daniel‬ ‭1‬:‭1‬-‭8‬‬
En el año tercero del reinado de Joacim rey de Judá, vino Nabucodonosor rey de Babilonia a Jerusalén, y la sitió. Y el Señor entregó en sus manos a Joacim rey de Judá, y parte de los utensilios de la casa de Dios; y los trajo a tierra de Sinar, a la casa de su dios, y colocó los utensilios en la casa del tesoro de su dios. Y dijo el rey a Aspenaz, jefe de sus eunucos, que trajese de los hijos de Israel, del linaje real de los príncipes, muchachos en quienes no hubiese tacha alguna, de buen parecer, enseñados en toda sabiduría, sabios en ciencia y de buen entendimiento, e idóneos para estar en el palacio del rey; y que les enseñase las letras y la lengua de los caldeos. Y les señaló el rey ración para cada día, de la provisión de la comida del rey, y del vino que él bebía; y que los criase tres años, para que al fin de ellos se presentasen delante del rey. Entre estos estaban Daniel, Ananías, Misael y Azarías, de los hijos de Judá. A estos el jefe de los eunucos puso nombres: puso a Daniel, Beltsasar; a Ananías, Sadrac; a Misael, Mesac; y a Azarías, Abed-nego. Y Daniel propuso en su corazón no contaminarse con la porción de la comida del rey, ni con el vino que él bebía; pidió, por tanto, al jefe de los eunucos que no se le obligase a contaminarse.

1. Presión para cambiar mi forma de pensar sobre el mundo (Daniel 1:3-8)

Podemos ser diferentes... Negándonos a comprometer nuestra integridad.

2. Presión para cambiar la forma de vivir mi fe (Daniel 1:5, 8)

Podemos ser diferentes... al ajustarnos a las Escrituras, no a la cultura.

Can I Trust the Bible?
Hebrews 10:23-25

‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭10‬:‭23‬-‭25‬‬
Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful. And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching.

1. The Bible is RELIABLE. 2 Peter 1:21
* The UNIQUENESS of the Bible.
* The HISTORICAL ACCURACY of the Bible.
* There are HISTORICAL SECULAR writers that confirm the events of Scripture.

2. The Bible is INSPIRED by God. 2 Timothy 3:16
* The INERRANCY of the Bible.
* The PROPHECIES of the Bible.

3. The Biblical church was ESTABLISHED by God!
* Hold to the HOPE we PROFESS.
* INSPIRE one another to LOVE & GOOD DEEDS.
* Congregate to ENCOURAGE one another.

La Revelacion del Reino
Mateo 6:9-10
==========

‭‭S. Mateo‬ ‭6‬:‭9‬-‭10‬‬
Vosotros, pues, oraréis así: Padre nuestro que estás en los cielos, santificado sea tu nombre. Venga tu reino. Hágase tu voluntad, como en el cielo, así también en la tierra.

¿Qué es cultura?
Se refiere a un grupo de la comunidad que comparte experiencias comunes que moldean la manera en que sus integrantes entienden el mundo.

¿Por qué es importante la cultura?
Porque Influencia sus puntos de vista, sus valores, su humor, sus esperanzas, sus lealtades, sus preocupaciones y sus miedos.

Implicaciones de una cultura
- Toda evaluación de una cultura depende de un conjunto de valores.
- Desde la perspectiva cristiana, todo lo que está aislado de la centralidad de Dios es malo.
- Desde el paradigma cristiano, Dios mediante su gracia derrama cosas buenas sobre todos.
- Algunas posturas culturales son más reprensibles que otras.
- El ser humano es propenso a corromper todas las cosas buenas.
- Toda cultura es cambiante.

¿Qué es el Reino de Dios?
El Reino de Dios es, su gobierno, su autoridad, sobre toda su creación, no tiene límite de frontera, todo el universo es el Reino de Dios, es la voluntad y dominio que Dios ejerce sobre lo que Él mismo ha creado.

¿Por qué es importante el Reino de Dios?
Jesús dijo: “Padre nuestro que está en el cielo (en otras palabras, Rey nuestro que está en el cielo, en tu trono de gloria), venga tu reino, hágase tu voluntad en nuestras vidas…

¿Quién ejerce autoridad en el Reino de Dios?
Dios quiere ejercer autoridad sobre tu vida, sobre tu matrimonio, noviazgo, sobre tu vida laboral, en tus estudios, en tu Familia.

¿Cómo se establece la Cultura del Reino?
- A través de la iglesia de Cristo.
- No se puede vivir en una nueva cultura y disfrutar de ella si no renuncia a la cultura de la cual procede.
- Nuestro testimonio tendrá una razón de ser, porque el Reino de Dios va a permear todas las estructuras, culturas y valores.
- El Evangelio del Reino confronta la cultura, y establece principios y propuestas que transforman esa cultura. “oíste que fue dicho… pero yo os digo”.

‭‭Acts‬ ‭2‬:‭22‬-‭24‬‬
“Fellow Israelites, listen to these words: This Jesus of Nazareth was a man attested to you by God with miracles, wonders, and signs that God did among you through him, just as you yourselves know. Though he was delivered up according to God’s determined plan and foreknowledge, you used lawless people to nail him to a cross and kill him. God raised him up, ending the pains of death, because it was not possible for him to be held by death.

‭‭Acts‬ ‭2‬:‭32‬-‭41‬‬
“God has raised this Jesus; we are all witnesses of this. Therefore, since he has been exalted to the right hand of God and has received from the Father the promised Holy Spirit, he has poured out what you both see and hear. For it was not David who ascended into the heavens, but he himself says: The Lord declared to my Lord, ‘Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies your footstool.’ “Therefore let all the house of Israel know with certainty that God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Messiah.” When they heard this, they were pierced to the heart and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, “Brothers, what should we do?” Peter replied, “Repent and be baptized, each of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. For the promise is for you and for your children, and for all who are far off, as many as the Lord our God will call.” With many other words he testified and strongly urged them, saying, “Be saved from this corrupt generation!” So those who accepted his message were baptized, and that day about three thousand people were added to them.

‭‭Acts‬ ‭2‬:‭24‬‬
God raised him up, ending the pains of death, because it was not possible for him to be held by death.

‭‭Matthew‬ ‭28‬:‭13‬‬
and told them, “Say this, ‘His disciples came during the night and stole him while we were sleeping.’

They Were Eye Witnesses

‭‭Acts‬ ‭1‬:‭3‬‬
After he had suffered, he also presented himself alive to them by many convincing proofs, appearing to them over a period of forty days and speaking about the kingdom of God.

‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭15‬:‭6‬‬
Then he appeared to over five hundred brothers and sisters at one time; most of them are still alive, but some have fallen asleep.

‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭15‬:‭3‬-‭6‬‬
For I passed on to you as most important what I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the Twelve. Then he appeared to over five hundred brothers and sisters at one time; most of them are still alive, but some have fallen asleep.

‭‭2 Peter‬ ‭1‬:‭16‬‬
For we did not follow cleverly contrived myths when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ; instead, we were eyewitnesses of his majesty.

They Were Transformed

‭‭John‬ ‭20‬:‭19‬-‭20‬‬
When it was evening on that first day of the week, the disciples were gathered together with the doors locked because they feared the Jews. Jesus came, stood among them, and said to them, “Peace be with you.” Having said this, he showed them his hands and his side. So the disciples rejoiced when they saw the Lord.

The Event That Changed Everything
Acts 2:22-24

‭‭Luke‬ ‭24‬:‭21‬‬
But we had hoped that he was the one to redeem Israel. Yes, and besides all this, it is now the third day since these things happened.

‭‭Luke‬ ‭24‬:‭24‬‬
Some of those who were with us went to the tomb and found it just as the women had said, but him they did not see.”

‭‭John‬ ‭20‬:‭4‬-‭9‬‬
Both of them were running together, but the other disciple outran Peter and reached the tomb first. And stooping to look in, he saw the linen cloths lying there, but he did not go in. Then Simon Peter came, following him, and went into the tomb. He saw the linen cloths lying there, and the face cloth, which had been on Jesus’ head, not lying with the linen cloths but folded up in a place by itself. Then the other disciple, who had reached the tomb first, also went in, and he saw and believed; for as yet they did not understand the Scripture, that he must rise from the dead.

‭‭Acts‬ ‭2‬:‭22‬-‭24‬‬
“Men of Israel, hear these words: Jesus of Nazareth, a man attested to you by God with mighty works and wonders and signs that God did through him in your midst, as you yourselves know— this Jesus, delivered up according to the definite plan and foreknowledge of God, you crucified and killed by the hands of lawless men. God raised him up, loosing the pangs of death, because it was not possible for him to be held by it.

Christianity was an event before it was a religion, philosophy, or ideology.

‭‭Acts‬ ‭2‬:‭37‬-‭38‬‬
Now when they heard this they were cut to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, “Brothers, what shall we do?” And Peter said to them, “Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭15‬:‭3‬-‭7‬‬
For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures, and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve. Then he appeared to more than five hundred brothers at one time, most of whom are still alive, though some have fallen asleep. Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles.

‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭15‬:‭14‬-‭15‬‬
And if Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is in vain and your faith is in vain. We are even found to be misrepresenting God, because we testified about God that he raised Christ, whom he did not raise if it is true that the dead are not raised.

‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭15‬:‭17‬-‭19‬‬
And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile and you are still in your sins. Then those also who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished. If in Christ we have hope in this life only, we are of all people most to be pitied.

Un encuentro con el Cristo Resucitado
Lucas 24:13-35
==========

‭‭S. Lucas‬ ‭24‬:‭13‬-‭35‬‬
Y he aquí, dos de ellos iban el mismo día a una aldea llamada Emaús, que estaba a sesenta estadios de Jerusalén. E iban hablando entre sí de todas aquellas cosas que habían acontecido. Sucedió que mientras hablaban y discutían entre sí, Jesús mismo se acercó, y caminaba con ellos. Mas los ojos de ellos estaban velados, para que no le conociesen. Y les dijo: ¿Qué pláticas son estas que tenéis entre vosotros mientras camináis, y por qué estáis tristes? Respondiendo uno de ellos, que se llamaba Cleofas, le dijo: ¿Eres tú el único forastero en Jerusalén que no has sabido las cosas que en ella han acontecido en estos días? Entonces él les dijo: ¿Qué cosas? Y ellos le dijeron: De Jesús nazareno, que fue varón profeta, poderoso en obra y en palabra delante de Dios y de todo el pueblo; y cómo le entregaron los principales sacerdotes y nuestros gobernantes a sentencia de muerte, y le crucificaron. Pero nosotros esperábamos que él era el que había de redimir a Israel; y ahora, además de todo esto, hoy es ya el tercer día que esto ha acontecido. Aunque también nos han asombrado unas mujeres de entre nosotros, las que antes del día fueron al sepulcro; y como no hallaron su cuerpo, vinieron diciendo que también habían visto visión de ángeles, quienes dijeron que él vive. Y fueron algunos de los nuestros al sepulcro, y hallaron así como las mujeres habían dicho, pero a él no le vieron. Entonces él les dijo: ¡Oh insensatos, y tardos de corazón para creer todo lo que los profetas han dicho! ¿No era necesario que el Cristo padeciera estas cosas, y que entrara en su gloria? Y comenzando desde Moisés, y siguiendo por todos los profetas, les declaraba en todas las Escrituras lo que de él decían. Llegaron a la aldea adonde iban, y él hizo como que iba más lejos. Mas ellos le obligaron a quedarse, diciendo: Quédate con nosotros, porque se hace tarde, y el día ya ha declinado. Entró, pues, a quedarse con ellos. Y aconteció que estando sentado con ellos a la mesa, tomó el pan y lo bendijo, lo partió, y les dio. Entonces les fueron abiertos los ojos, y le reconocieron; mas él se desapareció de su vista. Y se decían el uno al otro: ¿No ardía nuestro corazón en nosotros, mientras nos hablaba en el camino, y cuando nos abría las Escrituras? Y levantándose en la misma hora, volvieron a Jerusalén, y hallaron a los once reunidos, y a los que estaban con ellos, que decían: Ha resucitado el Señor verdaderamente, y ha aparecido a Simón. Entonces ellos contaban las cosas que les habían acontecido en el camino, y cómo le habían reconocido al partir el pan.

2. Nos muestra la falta de esperanza de la humanidad (17-24)

Bear Fruit
John 15:1-8

‭‭John‬ ‭15‬:‭1‬-‭8‬‬
“I am the true vine, and my Father is the vinedresser. Every branch in me that does not bear fruit he takes away, and every branch that does bear fruit he prunes, that it may bear more fruit. Already you are clean because of the word that I have spoken to you. Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in me. I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing. If anyone does not abide in me he is thrown away like a branch and withers; and the branches are gathered, thrown into the fire, and burned. If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. By this my Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit and so prove to be my disciples.

‭‭2 Timoteo‬ ‭2‬:‭1‬-‭7‬‬
Tú, pues, hijo mío, esfuérzate en la gracia que es en Cristo Jesús. Lo que has oído de mí ante muchos testigos, esto encarga a hombres fieles que sean idóneos para enseñar también a otros. Tú, pues, sufre penalidades como buen soldado de Jesucristo. Ninguno que milita se enreda en los negocios de la vida, a fin de agradar a aquel que lo tomó por soldado. Y también el que lucha como atleta, no es coronado si no lucha legítimamente. El labrador, para participar de los frutos, debe trabajar primero. Considera lo que digo, y el Señor te dé entendimiento en todo.

To G.R.O.W. in Christ, you will have to:
Go through trouble
Resist temptation
Open your heart to forgiveness
Walk with Jesus and His people

Open your heart to forgiveness.


When others FAIL US, we can learn FORGIVENESS.


Matthew 27:39-44
"The people passing by (looking at Jesus on the cross) shook their heads and hurled insults at Jesus…and the elders made fun of Him…Even the bandits who had been crucified with Him insulted him in the same way.”

Luke 23:34
“Jesus said, ‘Father, forgive these people, because they don’t know what they are doing’”.

1 Pet. 2:23
“When they hurled their insults at Him, He did not retaliate; when He suffered, He made no threats. Instead, He entrusted Himself to God who judges justly.”

Forgiveness is NOT saying it didn't hurt or that it's okay.

‭‭Matthew‬ ‭18‬:‭21‬-‭35‬‬
Then Peter approached him and asked, “Lord, how many times must I forgive my brother or sister who sins against me? As many as seven times?” “I tell you, not as many as seven,” Jesus replied, “but seventy times seven. “For this reason, the kingdom of heaven can be compared to a king who wanted to settle accounts with his servants. When he began to settle accounts, one who owed ten thousand talents was brought before him. Since he did not have the money to pay it back, his master commanded that he, his wife, his children, and everything he had be sold to pay the debt. “At this, the servant fell facedown before him and said, ‘Be patient with me, and I will pay you everything.’ Then the master of that servant had compassion, released him, and forgave him the loan. “That servant went out and found one of his fellow servants who owed him a hundred denarii. He grabbed him, started choking him, and said, ‘Pay what you owe!’ “At this, his fellow servant fell down and began begging him, ‘Be patient with me, and I will pay you back.’ But he wasn’t willing. Instead, he went and threw him into prison until he could pay what was owed. When the other servants saw what had taken place, they were deeply distressed and went and reported to their master everything that had happened. Then, after he had summoned him, his master said to him, ‘You wicked servant! I forgave you all that debt because you begged me. Shouldn’t you also have had mercy on your fellow servant, as I had mercy on you?’ And because he was angry, his master handed him over to the jailers to be tortured until he could pay everything that was owed. So also my heavenly Father will do to you unless every one of you forgives his brother or sister from your heart.”

1. Remember how much God has forgiven you. (v.24)

‭‭Romans‬ ‭5‬:‭8‬‬
But God proves his own love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

2. Recognize the unforgiveness in your life. (v.34)

3. Release the anger/bitterness. (v. 34)

How do you release the bitterness?
Forgive first -- Forgive completely

4. Realize God’s purpose (v.27)

2 Corinthians 13:7
“Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom”

Enduring as Christ Followers
Acts 4:1-10 & 17-22

Acts 4:1-10 & 17-22
4 And as they were speaking to the people, the priests and the captain of the temple and the Sadducees came upon them, 2 greatly annoyed because they were teaching the people and proclaiming in Jesus the resurrection from the dead. 3 And they arrested them and put them in custody until the next day, for it was already evening. 4 But many of those who had heard the word believed, and the number of the men came to about five thousand.
5 On the next day their rulers and elders and scribes gathered together in Jerusalem, 6 with Annas the high priest and Caiaphas and John and Alexander, and all who were of the high-priestly family. 7 And when they had set them in the midst, they inquired, “By what power or by what name did you do this?”
8 Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, “Rulers of the people and elders, 9 if we are being examined today concerning a good deed done to a crippled man, by what means this man has been healed, 10 let it be known to all of you and to all the people of Israel that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead—by him this man is standing before you well.

17 But in order that it may spread no further among the people, let us warn them to speak no more to anyone in this name.” 18 So they called them and charged them not to speak or teach at all in the name of Jesus. 19 But Peter and John answered them, “Whether it is right in the sight of God to listen to you rather than to God, you must judge, 20 for we cannot but speak of what we have seen and heard.” 21 And when they had further threatened them, they let them go, finding no way to punish them, because of the people, for all were praising God for what had happened. 22 For the man on whom this sign of healing was performed was more than forty years old. 23 When they were released, they went to their friends and reported what the chief priests and the elders had said to them.

1. Speaking to the people about Jesus

2. Praying with the saints

Acts 4:23-24
23 When they were released, they went to their friends and reported what the chief priests and the elders had said to them. 24 And when they heard it, they lifted their voices together to God and said, “Sovereign Lord, who made the heaven and the earth and the sea and everything in them.”

Acts 4:29 & 30
And now, Lord, look upon their threats and grant to your servants to continue to speak your word with all boldness…31 And when they had prayed, the place in which they were gathered together was shaken, and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and continued to speak the word of God with boldness.

Acts 5:17-21
17 But the high priest rose up, and all who were with him (that is, the party of the Sadducees), and filled with jealousy 18 they arrested the apostles and put them in the public prison. 19 But during the night an angel of the Lord opened the prison doors and brought them out, and said, 20 “Go and stand in the temple and speak to the people all the words of this Life.” 21 And when they heard this, they entered the temple at daybreak and began to teach.

Acts 5:27-29
27 And when they had brought them, they set them before the council. And the high priest questioned them, 28 saying, “We strictly charged you not to teach in this name, yet here you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching, and you intend to bring this man’s blood upon us.” 29 But Peter and the apostles answered, “We must obey God rather than men.

Acts 5:40
40 and when they had called in the apostles, they beat them and charged them not to speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go.

3. Rejoicing together

Acts 5:41-42
41 Then they left the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer dishonor for the name. 42 And every day, in the temple and from house to house, they did not cease teaching and preaching that the Christ is Jesus.

Y les echaron mano, y los pusieron en la cárcel hasta el día siguiente, porque era ya tarde. Pero muchos de los que habían oído la palabra, creyeron; y el número de los varones era como cinco mil.

To G.R.O.W. in Christ, you will have to:
Go through trouble
Resist temptation

Walk with Jesus and His people

GO THROUGH TROUBLE

John 16:33
In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.

Trouble
1. Tests - over what you have
2. Trials - over what you don’t have
3.Tragedies - over what you lost

Romans 5:3-4
“…trouble produces patience, and patience produces character, and character produces hope”.

Every mess has a message!

Mark 14:34
“My soul is overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of death.”

Mark 14:36
“Father, everything is possible for You. Please take this cup of suffering away from me. Yet, I want Your will, not My will!”

RESIST TEMPTATION

Luke 22:31-32
“Simon, Simon, look out. Satan has asked to sift you like wheat. But I have prayed for you that your faith may not fail. And you, when you have turned back, strengthen your brothers.”

Matthew 4:1
“Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the desert to be tempted by the devil”

Temptation
Temptation is not a sin
Everybody battles temptation
Temptation always tests your loyalty

Philippians 4:8
“Fix your thoughts on what is true and good and right and pure.”

Galatians 5:16
So I say, walk by the Spirit,

“Faith in God offers no assurance against tragedy, but in every case, suffering offers an opportunity for us to display God’s work”.
- Philip Yancey

Romans 8:17
“Now if we are children, then we are heirs—heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in His sufferings in order that we may also share in His glory.”

Philippians 2:5
“Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus”

How God Grows Us
Mark 6:30-44

‭‭Mark‬ ‭6‬:‭30‬-‭44‬‬
The apostles returned to Jesus and told him all that they had done and taught. And he said to them, “Come away by yourselves to a desolate place and rest a while.” For many were coming and going, and they had no leisure even to eat. And they went away in the boat to a desolate place by themselves. Now many saw them going and recognized them, and they ran there on foot from all the towns and got there ahead of them. When he went ashore he saw a great crowd, and he had compassion on them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd. And he began to teach them many things. And when it grew late, his disciples came to him and said, “This is a desolate place, and the hour is now late. Send them away to go into the surrounding countryside and villages and buy themselves something to eat.” But he answered them, “You give them something to eat.” And they said to him, “Shall we go and buy two hundred denarii worth of bread and give it to them to eat?” And he said to them, “How many loaves do you have? Go and see.” And when they had found out, they said, “Five, and two fish.” Then he commanded them all to sit down in groups on the green grass. So they sat down in groups, by hundreds and by fifties. And taking the five loaves and the two fish, he looked up to heaven and said a blessing and broke the loaves and gave them to the disciples to set before the people. And he divided the two fish among them all. And they all ate and were satisfied. And they took up twelve baskets full of broken pieces and of the fish. And those who ate the loaves were five thousand men.

1. Excited and tired
2. Inconvenienced to exhausted

Marcos 6:30-44

‭‭S. Marcos‬ ‭6‬:‭30‬-‭44‬‬
Entonces los apóstoles se juntaron con Jesús, y le contaron todo lo que habían hecho, y lo que habían enseñado. Él les dijo: Venid vosotros aparte a un lugar desierto, y descansad un poco. Porque eran muchos los que iban y venían, de manera que ni aun tenían tiempo para comer. Y se fueron solos en una barca a un lugar desierto. Pero muchos los vieron ir, y le reconocieron; y muchos fueron allá a pie desde las ciudades, y llegaron antes que ellos, y se juntaron a él. Y salió Jesús y vio una gran multitud, y tuvo compasión de ellos, porque eran como ovejas que no tenían pastor; y comenzó a enseñarles muchas cosas. Cuando ya era muy avanzada la hora, sus discípulos se acercaron a él, diciendo: El lugar es desierto, y la hora ya muy avanzada. Despídelos para que vayan a los campos y aldeas de alrededor, y compren pan, pues no tienen qué comer. Respondiendo él, les dijo: Dadles vosotros de comer. Ellos le dijeron: ¿Que vayamos y compremos pan por doscientos denarios, y les demos de comer? Él les dijo: ¿Cuántos panes tenéis? Id y vedlo. Y al saberlo, dijeron: Cinco, y dos peces. Y les mandó que hiciesen recostar a todos por grupos sobre la hierba verde. Y se recostaron por grupos, de ciento en ciento, y de cincuenta en cincuenta. Entonces tomó los cinco panes y los dos peces, y levantando los ojos al cielo, bendijo, y partió los panes, y dio a sus discípulos para que los pusiesen delante; y repartió los dos peces entre todos. Y comieron todos, y se saciaron. Y recogieron de los pedazos doce cestas llenas, y de lo que sobró de los peces. Y los que comieron eran cinco mil hombres.

1. Dios tiene compasión de todas las personas (30-34).

2. Cuando Dios te pide que hagas algo, ¡tú puedes hacerlo! (35-38).

3. Puedes hacer cualquier cosa con Dios (39-44)

John 15:1-8

‭‭John‬ ‭15‬:‭1‬-‭8‬‬
“I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. Every branch in me that does not produce fruit he removes, and he prunes every branch that produces fruit so that it will produce more fruit. You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you. Remain in me, and I in you. Just as a branch is unable to produce fruit by itself unless it remains on the vine, neither can you unless you remain in me. I am the vine; you are the branches. The one who remains in me and I in him produces much fruit, because you can do nothing without me. If anyone does not remain in me, he is thrown aside like a branch and he withers. They gather them, throw them into the fire, and they are burned. If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you want and it will be done for you. My Father is glorified by this: that you produce much fruit and prove to be my disciples.

When Jesus says "Remain in Me"


Who is Jesus talking to?
“every branch in Me”
v.2


What does He mean?
Stay close to Me
v.7


When do I remain in Jesus?
Every Day

Where do I remain in Jesus?
Everywhere


Why Remain in Jesus?
​* God's Blessing (v.2)
​* Be Fruitful (v.2 & v.5)
​* God's Glory (v.8)
* Your Joy (v.11)


How do I remain in Jesus?
* Keep going back when you stray (John 21:7)
* Keep reading His word and praying
    (Istrouma.org: Devotion and Prayer Guide)
* Remove Distractions


Why do we spend so much time trying to grow fruit that isn’t going to remain?

Is your fruit going to remain?

‭‭Galatians‬ ‭5‬:‭22‬-‭23‬‬
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. The law is not against such things.

‭‭Matthew‬ ‭3‬:‭8‬‬
Therefore produce fruit consistent with repentance.

‭‭Psalms‬ ‭3‬:‭3‬‬
But you, Lord, are a shield around me, my glory, and the one who lifts up my head.

John 15:1-5

“I am the true vine, and my Father is the vinedresser. Every branch in me that does not bear fruit he takes away, and every branch that does bear fruit he prunes, that it may bear more fruit. Already you are clean because of the word that I have spoken to you. Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in me. I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing.

Matthew 4:18-22

Are You A Fan Or A Follower?

‭‭Matthew‬ ‭4‬:‭18‬-‭22‬‬
As he was walking along the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon (who is called Peter), and his brother Andrew. They were casting a net into the sea — for they were fishermen. “Follow me,” he told them, “and I will make you fish for people.” Immediately they left their nets and followed him. Going on from there, he saw two other brothers, James the son of Zebedee, and his brother John. They were in a boat with Zebedee their father, preparing their nets, and he called them. Immediately they left the boat and their father and followed him.

WHEN JESUS SAYS "FOLLOW ME"
(Matthew 4:18-22)

Who is it for?
Everyone who knows Jesus (4:18)

‭‭Luke‬ ‭5‬:‭1‬-‭11‬‬
As the crowd was pressing in on Jesus to hear God’s word, he was standing by Lake Gennesaret. He saw two boats at the edge of the lake; the fishermen had left them and were washing their nets. He got into one of the boats, which belonged to Simon, and asked him to put out a little from the land. Then he sat down and was teaching the crowds from the boat. When he had finished speaking, he said to Simon, “Put out into deep water and let down your nets for a catch.” “Master,” Simon replied, “we’ve worked hard all night long and caught nothing. But if you say so, I’ll let down the nets.” When they did this, they caught a great number of fish, and their nets began to tear. So they signaled to their partners in the other boat to come and help them; they came and filled both boats so full that they began to sink. When Simon Peter saw this, he fell at Jesus’s knees and said, “Go away from me, because I’m a sinful man, Lord!” For he and all those with him were amazed at the catch of fish they had taken, and so were James and John, Zebedee’s sons, who were Simon’s partners. “Don’t be afraid,” Jesus told Simon. “From now on you will be catching people.” Then they brought the boats to land, left everything, and followed him.

What does He want?
Focus on living out the message of salvation (4:19)

When do I respond?
Immediately, if not sooner. (4:20)

Where do I go?
Go with Jesus --> wherever He leads… (4:20)

Why do I go?
It’s Jesus calling…

‭‭Revelation‬ ‭19‬:‭16‬‬
And he has a name written on his robe and on his thigh: King of Kings and Lord of Lords.

How do I respond?
Be willing to leave everything.
Drop your nets (4:20)

Look at what they left...
- their comfort and safety
- their careers and possessions
- their families and friends
- their sin and selfishness

‭‭Mark‬ ‭8‬:‭34‬-‭37‬‬
Calling the crowd along with his disciples, he said to them, “If anyone wants to follow after me, let him deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me. For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life because of me and the gospel will save it. For what does it benefit someone to gain the whole world and yet lose his life? What can anyone give in exchange for his life?

What if they would have asked, “Should we do it?”

What am I holding on to too tightly?

What am I doing that only makes sense in light of the Gospel?

Looking at my life, how do I know that I’m a follower of Jesus?

What is God calling me to do?


The call is not to sit, it is to go!

To be a follower of Jesus is not about making decisions, it’s about making disciples!

‭‭Luke‬ ‭14‬:‭33‬‬
In the same way, therefore, every one of you who does not renounce all his possessions cannot be my disciple.

‭‭Galatians‬ ‭2‬:‭20‬‬
I have been crucified with Christ, and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.

‭‭Matthew‬ ‭13‬:‭44‬‬
“The kingdom of heaven is like treasure, buried in a field, that a man found and reburied. Then in his joy he goes and sells everything he has and buys that field.

He Called Them
Matthew 4:18-22

‭‭Matthew‬ ‭4‬:‭18‬-‭22‬‬
While walking by the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon (who is called Peter) and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea, for they were fishermen. And he said to them, “Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.” Immediately they left their nets and followed him. And going on from there he saw two other brothers, James the son of Zebedee and John his brother, in the boat with Zebedee their father, mending their nets, and he called them. Immediately they left the boat and their father and followed him.

1 Corinthians 9:19-27

‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭9‬:‭19‬-‭27‬‬
Although I am free from all and not anyone’s slave, I have made myself a slave to everyone, in order to win more people. To the Jews I became like a Jew, to win Jews; to those under the law, like one under the law — though I myself am not under the law  — to win those under the law. To those who are without the law, like one without the law — though I am not without God’s law but under the law of Christ — to win those without the law. To the weak I became weak, in order to win the weak. I have become all things to all people, so that I may by every possible means save some. Now I do all this because of the gospel, so that I may share in the blessings. Don’t you know that the runners in a stadium all race, but only one receives the prize? Run in such a way to win the prize. Now everyone who competes exercises self-control in everything. They do it to receive a perishable crown, but we an imperishable crown. So I do not run like one who runs aimlessly or box like one beating the air. Instead, I discipline my body and bring it under strict control, so that after preaching to others, I myself will not be disqualified.

INVITE (v. 19-22)

INVEST (v. 23)

INCREASE (v. 23)

We INVITE everyone to INVEST everything to see the Kingdom of God INCREASE everywhere.

ARE YOU IN?
(v. 24-25)

INVITE
Pray --> Invite --> Pray

INVEST
-Show Up
-Serve Others
-Study God's Word

INCREASE
God is Faithful

“My journey … to find the Lord started with a simple invitation from a friend… you never know what impact a simple invitation can have on someone.”

Corre la Carrera
==========

‭‭1 Corintios‬ ‭9‬:‭24‬-‭25‬‬
¿No sabéis que los que corren en el estadio, todos a la verdad corren, pero uno solo se lleva el premio? Corred de tal manera que lo obtengáis. Todo aquel que lucha, de todo se abstiene; ellos, a la verdad, para recibir una corona corruptible, pero nosotros, una incorruptible.

1. … Con Pasión.

2. … Con Propósito.

3. … Con Perseverancia.

Live All-In for the Gospel
1 Corinthians 9:24-27

‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭9‬:‭24‬-‭27‬‬
Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one receives the prize? So run that you may obtain it. Every athlete exercises self-control in all things. They do it to receive a perishable wreath, but we an imperishable. So I do not run aimlessly; I do not box as one beating the air. But I discipline my body and keep it under control, lest after preaching to others I myself should be disqualified.

1. With a passion for the gospel

2. On purpose for the gospel
a. Practicing self-control
b. Practicing self-discipline

3. With the proper motivation

Hebreos 4:12-13
==========

‭‭Hebreos‬ ‭4‬:‭12‬-‭13‬‬
Porque la palabra de Dios es viva y eficaz, y más cortante que toda espada de dos filos; y penetra hasta partir el alma y el espíritu, las coyunturas y los tuétanos, y discierne los pensamientos y las intenciones del corazón. Y no hay cosa creada que no sea manifiesta en su presencia; antes bien todas las cosas están desnudas y abiertas a los ojos de aquel a quien tenemos que dar cuenta.

‭‭2 Timoteo‬ ‭3‬:‭16‬‬
Toda la Escritura es inspirada por Dios, y útil para enseñar, para redargüir, para corregir, para instruir en justicia,

‭‭1 Tesalonicenses‬ ‭2‬:‭13‬‬
Por lo cual también nosotros sin cesar damos gracias a Dios, de que cuando recibisteis la palabra de Dios que oísteis de nosotros, la recibisteis no como palabra de hombres, sino según es en verdad, la palabra de Dios, la cual actúa en vosotros los creyentes.

‭‭S. Mateo‬ ‭24‬:‭35‬‬
El cielo y la tierra pasarán, pero mis palabras no pasarán.

1. La Palabra de Dios es VIVA

2. La Palabra de Dios es EFICAZ

3. La Palabra de Dios es CORTANTE

4. La Palabra de Dios DISCIERNE

5. La Palabra de Dios es PENTRANTE
