Ministry Update
In my last few update messages (click here and here if you want to read) I detailed some ministry needs with our school in Kenya. Specifically I wrote about the plot next to our school and the food bag distribution project. You have been very faithful and generous! We have received ALL the necessary funds […]
Serve With Humility
John the Baptist was born with a single purpose; “to make ready a people prepared to receive the Lord” (Luke 1:17). He was chosen for service before he was conceived and was “filled with the Holy Spirit even from birth” (Luke 1:15). John was so obedient to his calling that Jesus said, “Among those born […]
Sirvamos con Humildad
Juan el Bautista nació con un solo propósito: “preparará un pueblo bien dispuesto para recibir al Señor” (Lucas 1:17). El fue elegido para el servicio antes de ser concebido y fue “lleno del Espíritu Santo, aún desde el vientre de su madre” (Lucas 15:5). Juan era tan obediente a su llamado que Jesús dijo, “entre […]
These Are God’s Battles
During the time of King Jehoshaphat (approximately 860 B.C.), several armies began to invade the land of Judah. Being greatly outnumbered, Jehoshaphat called for a nation-wide time of fasting and prayer to seek guidance from God: “O our God, will You not judge them? For we have no power to face this vast army that […]
Estas Son Batallas de Dios
Durante el período del Rey Josafat (aproximadamente 860 AC), varios ejércitos comenzaron a invadir la tierra de Judá. Siendo los invasores muchos más, Josafat llamó a la nación a un tiempo de ayuno y oración para buscar la guía de Dios: “Oh Dios nuestro! ¿No los juzgarás tú? Porque en nosotros no hay fuerza contra […]
Never Lose Hope
In the message “Stand Firm in The Gap” we were encouraged to continue in prayer and minister to the needs of others, to stand in the gap for those who need protection against enemy attacks, and to stand as long as necessary. This requires perseverance and complete trust in God. It can be difficult when […]
Nunca Perdamos La Esperanza
En el mensaje “Parémonos Firmes en la Brecha” fuimos animados a continuar en oración y ministrar las necesidades de los otros; a estar firmes en la brecha por aquellos que necesitan protección contra los ataques del enemigo. Vimos nuestra responsabilidad de no perder la esperanza sino mantenernos firmes mientras sea necesario. Esto requiere perseverancia y […]
Stand Firm in The Gap
In the final years of the southern kingdom of Israel, God warned that He was going to use the king of Babylon to discipline the people unless they returned to Him with a heart of worship. But the people failed to repent and the invasion of Jerusalem began. Ezekiel was a prophet to those taken […]
Parémonos Firmes en La Brecha
En los años finales del reinado del sur de Israel, Dios advirtió que El usaría al rey de Babilonia para disciplinar a la gente a menos que regresaran a El con un corazón de adoración. La gente no se arrepintió y la invasión a Jerusalén comenzó. Ezequiel fue un profeta para aquellos tomados cautivos durante […]
Put It Into Practice
Paul’s letter to the Philippians is one hundred and four verses filled with encouragement and joy. Paul didn’t write this letter to explain deep theology or to deal with any particular sin. Rather, his purpose was to express love for his friends and to encourage them (and us) to live a joy-filled Christian life. In […]
Pongámoslo en Práctica
La carta de Pablo a los Filipenses son ciento cuatro versos llenos de ánimo y gozo. Pablo no escribió esta carta para explicar teología profunda o tratar con un pecado en particular. En lugar de eso, su propósito era expresar amor por sus amigos y animarlos a ellos (y a nosotros) a vivir una vida […]
Follower or Fool
In the message “Arise And Walk” we were reminded that as God answers our prayers He does so in a manner which is “immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine” (Ephesians 3:20). He answers according to our true need driven by His divine good. This is a difficult concept but God’s view of this […]
