Meet Them Where They Are
Peter heard the call of Jesus in the middle of a storm and “got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus” (Matthew 14:29). Peter knew the voice of his Lord and knew that if He called, He would also provide a way to follow. But Peter soon “saw the […]
Encuéntralos Donde Estén
Pedro escuchó el llamado de Jesús en medio de la tormenta y “descendiendo Pedro de la barca, andaba sobre las aguas para ir a Jesús” (Mateo 14:29). Pedro conoció la voz de su Señor y supo que si El lo llamaba, el también proveería una manera de seguirlo. Pero Pedro pronto “al ver el fuerte […]
Ministry Praise
Back in May, I presented an update on our school facility in Kenya. This is really a good update and I encourage you to read it. http://gdwm.org/2019/05/ministry-update-and-needs/ In that message, I wrote about the progress and also presented several specific needs we were facing. As usual, God moved and you responded. We were able to […]
Hear The Call
In the last two messages, we’ve considered Peter as he responded to Jesus’ call: “Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus” (Matthew 14:29). We saw that Peter needed great faith to step out of the boat, even though his faith quickly faded “when he saw the […]
Escuchar Su Llamado
En los últimos dos mensajes, hemos considerado la forma en que Pedro respondió al llamado de Jesús: “Y descendiendo Pedro de la barca, andaba sobre las aguas para ir a Jesús” (Mateo 14:29). Vimos como Pedro necesitaba de gran fe para salir del bote, aunque su fe rapidamente se desvanecia “al ver el fuerte viento” […]
Focused On Jesus
I’ve always been impulsive. I was one of the first to follow Jesus. I didn’t even know who He was, but when He said “Come, follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men” (Matthew 4:19), though I didn’t know what He meant, I dropped my fishing nets and followed. After three years, I […]
Enfocados en Jesús
Yo he sido siempre un poco impulsivo. Fuí uno de los primeros discípulos en seguir a Jesús. Yo ni siquiera sabía quien era El, y cuando El dijo “Venid en pos de mí, y os haré pescadores de hombres” (Mateo 4:19), yo ni siquiera sabía lo que El quería decir, pero dejé mis redes y […]
Step of Faith
Today was a busy day! Early this morning we heard that King Herod killed John the Baptist. Jesus seemed to take this news pretty hard; “When Jesus heard what had happened, He withdrew by boat privately to a solitary place” (Matthew 14:13). I knew He wanted to be alone, but the crowds kept following Him. […]
Paso de Fe
Ahora fue un día ocupado! Temprano esta mañana nos dimos cuenta que el Rey Herodes había dado muerte a Juan el Bautista; “Cuando Jesús recibió la noticia, se retiró él solo en una barca a un lugar solitario” (Mateo 14:13). Yo sabía que El quería estar solo, pero la multitud no paraba de seguirle. Pronto […]
What It Means To Forgive
In the message “Forgive As He Forgave” we saw that our forgiveness of others should be based on recognizing the magnitude of forgiveness we have been given through faith in Jesus. A true understanding of God’s mercy toward us ought to compel us to be merciful to others. But still, forgiveness remains difficult and somewhat […]
Lo Que Significa Perdonar
En el mensaje “Perdonar Como El Perdonó” vimos que nuestro perdón para otros debería estar basado en reconocer la magnitud de perdón que se nos ha dado a través de la fe en Jesús. Un verdadero entendimiento de la misericordia de Dios hacia nosotros, nos obliga a ser misericordiosos con los demás. Pero aún, el […]
Forgive As He Forgave
It seems like sooner or later everyone gets mistreated and hurt. Many times the actions against us are unintentional, but other times they can be extremely malicious. Suddenly, this hurt begins to invade every other area of our life. We carry a heavy burden which we know we don’t deserve – and which we certainly […]
