— LAST SUNDAY'S SERMON —
This Sunday, we will begin our verse-by-verse study with Colossians 1:1-2. Come be encouraged as Paul points us to the central theme of Christ!
El desafío de Paul de NUNCA VOLVER A IR ALLÍ. No abrace las obras, la ley, la tradición, la ceremonia como un camino de salvación, confíe solo en Cristo por Gracia a través de la Fe. Mantente libre, nunca vuelvas a la esclavitud. Pablo es IMPRESIONANTE en estos versículos y dice cosas a las que incluso los cristianos sólidos reaccionan. Habla de los que se alejan de Cristo, de los que deciden salvarse a su manera. SIN EMBARGO TAMBIÉN celebra la singularidad de la vida en el Espíritu, donde confiamos en Cristo y vivimos una vida de amor por las obras.
The Necessary Quality of All True Christians (Mark 12:28-34)
As Christians, God’s wholehearted love toward us must never be returned with a halfhearted love on our part. Jesus will teach us about the Greatest Commandment of love–love to Him and love to others, commanding us to love Him with our entire being . . . to be all in.
You can physically LIVE AGAIN after you DIE (Mark 12:18-27)
Are you looking forward to Heaven—specifically, being face to face with Christ? Do you realize everything that was flawed here will be perfected there? Your body will be glorious, grown to its eternal potential. Mark 12:18 to 27 exposes some of our future realities as Jesus talks about the coming resurrection.
Theophobia : The Fear of God (1 Peter)
Christians sometimes argue whether it is right to fear God. Aren’t we commanded to love Him with all our heart and with all our soul and with all our might? (Deut. 6:5) Yet, two chapters later, God commands that we fear Him. So, what does it mean to fear God? How should a fear of God affect our daily relationships and choices? See what the book of 1 Peter has to teach us.
The God Who Knows You (Psalm 139)
Psalm 139 is a familiar and much loved psalm, but there is a message that is often missed in studying this passage. Though there is much comfort in God’s presence and knowledge of us, the depth to which He knows and understands us can be unsettling. Discover how the psalmist responds as he contemplates God’s attributes of omniscience and omnipresence.
The Compassion of God (Book of Jonah)
The theme of the book of Jonah reflects one of the greatest themes found throughout all of Scripture – the compassion of God. God used an unlikely prophet to show his mercy to the pagan city of Ninevah. Jonah showed no compassion for the Ninevites, yet God used his waywardness to bring the great city to repentance and taught Jonah a lesson we all need to learn about showing God’s mercy to others.
Nothing But Leaves (Mark 11:12-21)
In this passage of Mark, Jesus performs his only negative miracle recorded in the Bible. Why does Jesus curse a fig tree? See how the Lord uses this powerful picture as an analogy to teach us how much he hates false religion, and how he takes action against it by cleansing the temple.

The Cosmetic Coronation of the True King (Mark 11:1-11)
The COSMETIC CORONATION OF THE TRUE KING, better known as the Triumphal Entry. Thousands of people were heralding Christ as the Messiah–but when He didn’t do what they wanted, they just walked away and it was suddenly over. Their shouts of praise were empty. What was really going on as Christ entered Jerusalem amid the praise of the people? And what was the Lord’s reason and purpose for this event? You will be surprised, and challenged, and moved to find out.
