— 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.
If You Don’t Stand for Something, You’ll Fall for Anything (Understanding the convictions of Daniel)
“When the Son of man comes, will He find the faith on the earth. Will there be anyone who believes in Me, or will all of them have sold out?” Will anyone still stand with me when I come, or will all have compromised?
No Compromise (Dan 1)
A long time ago, the proud king of a young nation began to conquer the world. This mighty king would take young prisoners he captured and turn them into his servants. He would train them in the ways of his nation, and his goal was to turn them from following their god(s), to follow his gods. He was sure after three years of his best brainwashing, they’d end up as loyal Babylonians, no longer willing to serve their God. This king was certain he could get anyone to compromise. But Nebuchadnezzar was proven wrong by Daniel.
Living by Faith (Heb 11)

Will God Get Your Attention? (Intro #2)
Some 2,500 years ago, a thirteen-year-old boy was torn from his home, his family and relatives, as his country was enslaved and eventually destroyed. He was thrown into the forced service of a king who ruled the world. Along with hundreds of youths his own age, and most of the surviving people of his country, they became slaves of a conquering nation known throughout the entire world as Babylon the Great. The boy’s name was Daniel, and he and the nation Israel had been taken captive, and now would be in exile for seventy years. Why was God doing this? God was trying to get their attention.
Putting the Pieces Together (Intro #1)
In preparation for our study of the book of Daniel . . . in order to see how Daniel fits into the big picture of God’s plan–in order to feel the tension behind the events and prophecies of this prophet–in order to properly apply the instruction of Daniel to our lives–in order to see what God had to do in order to provide salvation for you and for me . . . today we will run through the Old Testament to get the big picture of redemption.

Tough Stuff: Belonging to a Community
As a Christian you are a part of a whole, a part of a community–as a Christian family, you are a part of a larger family. You are a part of a community, a unique called-out group called the Church of Jesus Christ expressed in a local church.
Tough Stuff: The Bible Doesn’t Mix
Mixing the Word of God with psychology, then listening to it, following its counsel or reading its falsehoods is deadly.

Tough Stuff: Resisting the Poison of Pornography
The problem of pornography comes when Christians don’t take responsibility for their own sin, nor remember the danger of their own sinful deceitful hearts.
Tough Stuff: Diving Deep into Your Salvation
Believing true salvation should result in killing your pride, resting assured, developing a boldness to share the Gospel, increasing in thankfulness and growing in compassion for Christian and non-Christian alike.
Tough Stuff: Escaping the Trap of Wealth Worry (Matthew 6:25-34)
In the Bible there are more than 500 references to prayer, plus less than 500 references to faith–but there are more than 2,000 references to wealth and possessions.
