Promised Fulfilled – Acts 2:1-11

Posted on January 21, 2025 by eig

In this passage we learn about the fulfilled promise that the Father promised to send, the coming of the Holy Spirit. We have the same Spirit of God in us. Often, we quench the Spirit, dulling it with our disobedient lives. We need to let Him fill us up so He can use us. It […]

Waiting for the Father’s Promise – Acts 1:12-26

Posted on January 13, 2025 by eig

God’s promises are reliable. There are approximately 5,467 promises in the Bible. God’s promises are irrevocable because he is a God who does not lie (Numbers 23:11) that does not change, (Ps. 110: 4) and that has all the power to fulfill them (Isaiah 55:11). He is worthy of all our trust. We see it […]

Spiritual Goals – Philippians 3

Posted on December 30, 2024 by eig

Many people have resolutions. Maybe you do. Many years ago, I started teaching about spiritual goals based on a well-known passage in Scripture. These are worth our time and effort the whole year.   St. Paul in Philippians gives us five of them. These goals are not temporary, they are goals for the entire duration […]

Volviendo a casa

Posted on December 6, 2024 by eig

Es difícil creer que hace 43 años tomé un autobús con mi mamá y tres de mis hermanas y me fui de El Salvador. No tenía ni idea de a dónde íbamos. Pensando en retrospectiva, no recuerdo haber tenido equipaje, pero probablemente teníamos alguna muda de ropa. No teníamos posesiones reales que llevar. No tenía […]

Going Home

Posted on December 3, 2024 by eig

It’s hard to believe that 43 years ago I took a bus with my mom, and three of my sisters and left El Salvador. I had no idea where we were going. Thinking back, I don’t remember having any luggage, but we probably had some change of clothes. We had no real possessions to take. […]

A Call to the Church to Persevere in the Faith – Hebrews 10:19-25

Posted on November 5, 2024 by eig

In this passage we find the author through the Holy Spirit, calling, reminding us of three things we as the church need to do.   The author of Hebrews encourages Jewish believers to three things. He does it by saying “Let us…”   These is what we are called to do as members of God’s […]
