SU SALIDA

»Si el árbol es bueno, dará buen fruto; si el árbol es malo, dará mal fruto; pues el árbol se conoce por su fruto. Mateo 12:33 (DHH) ¿Sabía usted que es posible mantener creencias por debajo del nivel de su conciencia? A veces, cuando luchamos por cambiar u obtener resultados en un área determinada de nuestras vidas, es porque hemos creído en mentiras sin darnos cuenta. Estas mentiras pueden provenir de muchas fuentes diferentes: los medios de comunicación, nuestros colegas, la religión, los padres bien intencionados, los fracasos y los traumas, por nombrar algunos. En el versículo de hoy, Jesús habla sobre las consecuencias de estas mentiras. En esta analogía, un árbol puede representar una creencia, y la fruta puede representar el producto de esa …

WHAT WE’RE DOING ISN’T WORKING

Live wisely among those who are not believers, and make the most of every opportunity. Colossians 4:5 (NLT) A record number of churches close their doors in North America each year. People are tired of religion. They’ve lost interest because of the way the church has functioned over the years, and they’re not interested in being judged or shamed into submission. Many don’t feel like their church speaks their language or that their leaders relate. And it’s often because they find that the Sunday messages do little to show them how to solve real-life problems. We need a new and refreshing way of communicating Jesus’ timeless message of love and hope.  Spirit Contemporary is an effective answer to this problem. It’s a way of staying …

ONLY JESUS’ LOVE

He is so rich in kindness and grace that he purchased our freedom with the blood of his Son and forgave our sins. He has showered his kindness on us, along with all wisdom and understanding. Ephesians 1:7–8 (NLT) When Jesus died on the cross, He paid the price for the sins of all of mankind—past, present and future. As believers, we are completely and abundantly free in our relationship with God. “He thought of everything, provided for everything we could possibly need, letting us in on the plans he took such delight in making. He set it all out before us in Christ, a long-range plan in which everything would be brought together and summed up in him, everything in deepest heaven, everything on …

LA CLAVE PARA SEGUIR ADELANTE

Leon FontaineEntregate

Hermanos, cuídense de que ninguno de ustedes tenga un corazón tan malo e incrédulo que se aparte del Dios viviente. Hebreos 3:12 (DHH) Todos queremos experimentar las cosas buenas que Dios nos ha dado. A veces caemos en la mentira de creer que avanzar tiene que ver con detener al diablo. La verdad es que el diablo no es tan poderoso. Es como el Mago de Oz, un pequeño individuo insignificante detrás de un montón de humo y espejos. Adán transfirió su autoridad dada por Dios a Satanás cuando lo escuchó a él en lugar de a Dios. Sin embargo, Jesús despojó al demonio de toda autoridad y poder legítimos, y nos devolvió nuestra autoridad cuando lo aceptamos como nuestro Salvador. Otras veces, creemos que …

GOD’S KINGDOM IS INSIDE YOU

Leon FontaineDevoted

The Kingdom of God can’t be detected by visible signs. You won’t be able to say ‘Here it is,’ or ‘It’s over there!’ For the Kingdom of God is already among you. Luke 17:20–21 (NLT) Throughout history, religious wars have been fought over what was deemed to be holy. Sacred temples, relics and holy grounds were defended at all costs. You wouldn’t believe the number of people who have been slaughtered over the years in the name of religion, and that includes religious Christianity. It’s sad because Christianity is not even about buildings, relics or holy ground. Jesus’ kingdom isn’t political, and it isn’t a geographical territory. Jesus came to deal with our internal world—the hearts of mankind.  When Jesus told us to put His …
