PASSION: PASSION FOR DISCIPLESHIP (MARK 3:14-15)8

PASIÓN: PASIÓN POR DISCIPULADO
There were quite a number of people who considered themselves disciples of Jesus because they followed Him from place to place where He ministered. But from among that larger group, Jesus called 12, and the reasons for which He chose these 12, demonstrate what it truly means to be a follower of Christ. If we would truly follow Christ, we must be passionate about discipleship.

PASSION: PASSION FOR HIS PEOPLE (MARK 3:13-19)

PASIÓN: PASIÓN POR SU PUEBLO
Jesus had multitudes who followed Him, but He called twelve to be His disciples. They lived together with Jesus and were an integral part of each others' lives. Unlike the multitudes, these twelve grew spiritually, and made a great impact in the world for Christ.

Like the disciples, when you live together in close proximity with others over an extended period of time, there are going to be disagreements, disappointments and hurts. This is all a part of God's plan. It is a part of His perfecting process to help us grow into the full measure of the stature of Christ.

PASSION: PASSION FOR HIS WORD (1 Pet. 1:22-2:3)

PASIÓN: PASIÓN POR SU PALABRA
The primary means of knowing God more deeply and growing in our relationship with Him is through His Word. The health and depth of our spiritual life is directly linked to our passion for His Word.

This message considers what a passion for God's Word looks like, where it comes from, and what it produces in our lives.

PASSION: PASSION FOR HIS PRESENCE (EXODUS 33:12-18)

PASIÓN: PASIÓN POR SU PRESENCIA
The greatest need in our lives and in our churches is the Presence of God.

As we study this passage of Scripture today, my prayer is that God's presence would become the healthy obsession of our life -- our greatest desire and strongest pursuit.

PASSION: PASSION FOR THE HOUSE OF THE LORD (JOHN 2:13-17)

PASIÓN: PASIÓN POR LA CASA DEL SEÑOR
Anybody can be passionate about something for a day, a month, a year, etc., but Jesus was passionate from the beginning of His life to the end. He was passionate about His relationship with His Father, and He was passionate about His Father's House.

The goal of the Christian life is to be like Jesus, that means that our goal must be to passionately in love with the Father, and passionate about the Father's House as well.

PASSION: CHRIST'S PASSION FOR HIS CHURCH (EPH. 5:25-27)

PASIÓN: LA PASIÓN DE CRISTO POR SU IGLESIA
Christ passionately loves His Bride, the Church, and we cannot love Him without passionately loving His Church. When you love Jesus, you will love what He loves.

His passion for His Church teaches us what our attitude should be toward the Church, and how we should treat the Church.

KNOW FEAR, KNOW GOD: LEARNING TO FEAR THE LORD (JER. 32:38-41; DEUT. 31:12-13)

CONOCE EL TEMOR DE DIOS, CONOCE A DIOS: APRENDIENDO A TEMER AL SEÑOR
The fear of the Lord is essential to have a relationship with God, to live a life that pleases God, and to life a life that God blesses. God commands everyone of His people to LEARN the fear of the Lord. This message explores how we can cultivate the fear of the Lord in our lives.

PRAY 2016: LION TAMING 101

OREN 2016: DOMANDO AL LEON 101
This chapter ends with the story of Daniel and the Lion's Den, which stands as a reminder of the spiritual battle raging all around us. 1 Peter 5:8 describes the devil himself as a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. Satan has an army of supporters, whom he uses to do his will. In Daniel’s case, Satan used the governors and rulers who tried to trap and kill Daniel with a 30-day law forbidding prayer to any god, except the King.

Daniel refused to allow this law or its consequences to stop him from praying, As a result, he was arrested and thrown into the lions den, but that night, God sent an angel to shut the mouths of the lions, and miraculously delivered Daniel. Daniel didn’t pray because he was facing the lions den, but because he prayed, God delivered him from the lions den.

Daniel's story teaches us some very important truths about prayer that will release the power of God in our lives and the world today.

PRAY 2016: ARRESTED BY PRAYER (DAN. 6:10)

CAPTURADO POR LA ORACIÓN
I read of an 85 year old man who was arrested for praying in his own house.  Anyone familiar with that case?  A federal law had been issued, making it illegal for anyone to pray to God, but where the law of man and the law of God conflict, we must obey God. So this 85 year old man, continued to pray as he had always done and he ended up being arrested and having a severe sentence imposed upon him. His case was not reported by the news media, but the account of his arrest can be read in Dan 6:10.

Today, we want to look at how Daniel overcame the enemies attempt to stop him from praying, so that we too might prevail in prayer, and so that we can prevail through prayer.

KNOW FEAR, KNOW GOD: LIVING WITHOUT THE FEAR OF THE LORD (PROV. 1:7)

CONOCE EL TEMOR DE DIOS, CONOCE A DIOS: VIVIR SIN EL TEMOR DEL SEÑOR
Proverbs 1:7 describes those who do not fear the Lord as fools, because they lack knowledge, and despise wisdom and instruction. The fool in the book of Proverbs is not someone with a low IQ, or a lack of education. Some people have very little education but they have great wisdom, because they honor God and recognize the authority of the Word of God in their life. Some people have the highest IQ on earth but their lives are a mess. The fool is someone who does not fear God, who lives in disregard of God, who denies God, if not in word, certainly in action.

This message considers some of the characteristics and consequences of not fearing God.
