Hace unas semanas, prediqué en 1 Corintios 9:24, “¿No sabéis que los que corren en una carrera, todos corren, pero uno recibe el premio? Así que corre, para que puedas obtenerlo. Notamos cómo se celebraron los Juegos Isthmian (similares a los Juegos Olímpicos) en Corinto. Pablo usó esta analogía muy familiar para llamar a la […]

More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb. Psalm 19:10 The context of this verse reveals that David was emphasizing the value and sweetness of God’s word. The Scriptures are much more valuable than wealth and possessions. That is easy to believe intellectually, but […]

A few weeks ago, I preached from 1 Corinthians 9:24, “Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain.” We noted how the Isthmian Games (similar to the Olympics) were held in Corinth. Paul used this very familiar analogy to call […]

I am thankful that we were able to at least have some connection with each other yesterday through the live stream sermon. Let me just remind us of some of the points from that message “Watching Jesus Pray“. Jesus prayed! If God incarnate desired and felt the need to pray, how much more should we […]

He estado leyendo lentamente un libro pequeño de Edward Welch para el corazón ansioso. Hasta ahora, he sido desafiado y bendecido. Welch enfatiza acertadamente que mirar las Escrituras como un medio para combatir la ansiedad y el miedo pecaminoso es una de nuestras mayores fuentes de esperanza y fortaleza. Sin embargo, también admite que a […]
