Nuestra Esperanza Futura y la Venida del Señor – 1 Tesalonicenses 4:13-18

Tenemos una esperanza futura. Pero la mejor parte de esto es que nuestra esperanza futura es que el Señor regresará por nosotros y seremos parte del recogimiento (el rapto) de todos los creyentes de todos los tiempos (estemos aquí o no). Participaremos de la resurrección de los muertos cuando nuestros cuerpos se transformen a imagen […]

Our Future Hope and the Coming of the Lord – 1 Thessalonians 3:11-18

We have a future hope. But the best part of this is that our future hope is the Lord coming back for us and how we will be part of the gathering of all believers of all time (whether we are here or not). We will partake of the resurrection from the dead when our […]

Pleasing God by abstaining from Sexual Immorality

“For this is God’s will: that you become holy, that you keep away from sexual immorality” 1 Thessalonians 4:3 God’s will for our lives is our “sanctification” and this involves that we abstain from sexual immorality.  The word “sanctification” is misused in our times. It does not mean being “holy” in the sense of being […]

Perlita’s Baptism

Hace más o menos tres semanas me reuní con Perlita que consta de 16 años para hablar sobre el bautismo. Ella es la hija mayor de una familia que hace poco llegaron a ser parte de nuestra iglesia. Es una familia fiel al Señor. Perlita había indicado que quería bautizarse. Hablamos como una media hora […]

Praying consistently and Insistently

Praying consistently and insistently. We can learn from the way Paul  prayed in general but specifically for others.  We see this in 1 Thessalonians. Often his prayers started with thankfulness and gratitude to God. Then he would move on to pray for others. How did he pray for the Thessalonians? He (and his team) prayed […]

Agradando a Dios en nuestra manera de Vivir – 1 Tesalonicenses 4:1-12

Pablo terminó el capítulo 3 con una oración a favor de los Tesalonicenses pidiendo que Dios les afirme completamente en el Señor para que puedan ser “irreprensibles en santidad delante de Dios nuestro Padre en la venid de nuestro Señor Jesucristo con todos sus santos” (v. 13). Ahora el comienza a recordarles o exhortarles (no […]

A Call to the Church – Hebrews 10:9-22

In this passage we find the author through the Holy Spirit, calling, reminding us of three things we as the church, we as believers, need to do. The first one deals with worship and having a heart of faith when we approach God, the second with gripping firmly the hope of our confession and the […]

Encouraging your Pastor/Animando a tu Pastor

“For now we live, if you are standing fast in the Lord.” 1 Thessalonians 3:8 In a previous post I wrote about how Paul is encouraged to hear that the Thessalonian church was following the Lord faithfully as he had taught them. He cared and loved them and longed  to see them but he hadn’t been […]

Encouraged by the Faith of others

Encouraged by the Faith of others In 1 Thessalonians 2:7 we find that Paul is encouraged by this good news of the Thessalonians faith. “For this reason, brothers, in all our distress and affliction we have been comforted about you through your faith.” (ESV) Paul was encouraged, by the faith of his brothers and sisters […]
