Wisdom of The World
There are many influences which compete for our attention, many different inputs which seek to shape our view of the world and, in turn, direct how we make decisions about our life. There is also an enemy who greatly desires to win this competition. The enemy is battling for the hearts of men, women, and […]

Y hay un enemigo quien desea de gran manera ganar esta competencia. El enemigo está batallando por los corazones de hombres, mujeres y niños; y el sabe que […]
His Message and His Ministry
Ahithophel was a highly regarded advisor to King David; “Now in those days the advice Ahithophel gave was like that of one who inquires of God” (2 Samuel 16:23). But when David’s son, Absalom, rebelled and sought to become the new king, Ahithophel joined with Absalom. Ahithophel had reason to be angry with David; he […]
Su Mensaje y Su Ministerio
Ahitofel era un consejero muy estimado del Rey David; “Y el consejo que daba Ahitofel en aquellos días, era como si se consultase la palabra de Dios” (2 Samuel 16:23). Pero cuando el hijo de David, Absalón reveló y buscó convertirse en el nuevo rey, Ahitofel se unió con Absalón. Ahitofel tenía razones para estar […]
The Look of Holiness
During the week before He was crucified, Jesus was asked many questions by the religious leaders. However, their questions were never asked for the purpose of education or to satisfy their true curiosity, they were asked with the intent of finding fault; “The Pharisees went out and laid plans to trap Him in His words” […]
La Apariencia de Santidad
Durante la semana antes que fue crucificado, los líderes religiosos hicieron a Jesús muchas preguntas. Sin embargo, sus preguntas nunca las hicieron con el propósito de ser educados o para satisfacer su curiosidad – sino fueron hechas con la intención de encontrar fallas; “se fueron los fariseos y deliberaron entre sí cómo atraparle, sorprendiéndole en […]
Never Choose Barabbas
In the message “To Whom We Sacrifice” we saw how our daily actions reflect our priorities and values, and become, in a very real sense, the sacrifices we place on the altar. Everyday we make many decisions which either draw us closer to God or lead us further away – few decisions are truly neutral. […]
Nunca Elegir a Barrabás
En el mensaje “A Quien Sacrificamos” vimos como nuestras acciones diarias reflejan nuestras prioridades y valores, y se convierten en un sentido muy real, en los sacrificios que llevamos al altar. Cada día tomamos muchas decisiones las cuales nos acercan o nos alejan de Dios – pocas decisiones son realmente neutrales. Los lideres Judíos han […]
To Whom We Sacrifice
By the time Jeremiah became a prophet, the people of Israel had occupied the land of Canaan for about 800 years. Those years were generally characterized by a continuing rejection of God. Time and again the people turned from God and embraced the gods of the world. Through Jeremiah, God called His people to return […]
A Quien Sacrificamos
Hasta el tiempo que Jeremías llegó a ser profeta, el pueblo de Israel había ocupado la tierra de Canaán acerca de 800 años. Aquellos años estaban caracterizados generalmente por un rechazo continuo de Dios – una y otra vez la gente se desviaron de Dios y abrazaron los dioses del mundo. A través de Jeremías, […]
I Will Yet Praise
Our family is hurting. Once again, a terrible disaster has struck; this time in the form of an earthquake and tsunami in Indonesia. Again, lives have been changed, thousands have ended, in an instant. Pain, sorrow, hunger, anger, confusion, and desperation. God please help, and show us how we can help one another. Help us […]
Pay More Careful Attention
In the message “A Divided Kingdom” we saw how Solomon’s divided heart – his lack of full devotion to God – eventually led to the division of the kingdom of Israel. We were then encouraged to continually draw closer to our Heavenly Father and prevent the kingdom of God within us from becoming divided in […]
