Sometimes we know God can help us but for many reasons, we are not able or willing to help ourselves. When our personal resources are unable to bring us close to the One who can transform our lives with his word, God has provided a community of faith to remove the barriers that separate us from his presence. In this passage, we will see God’s grace embodied in the faith-full intercession of a Christ-centered community.
Bridging the gap between God and us is not easy. In order for us to experience the fullness of life that Christ came to give us we must be willing to take ownership of our brokenness and come to the one who can make us whole. In this miracle of Christ, we will see the God whose touch transforms the lives of those who acknowledge his willingness.
The sermon this morning was brought by Dr. Ryan Jespersen, president of the Dallas Baptist Association.
Cuando la oposición al evangelio cierra una puerta, el Señor abre otra. Habiendo rechazado el evangelio, Dios cambia el enfoque del esfuerzo misionero de Pablo del pueblo judío en Corinto a los gentiles conocidos por sus formas idólatras e inmorales. La historia de la iglesia en Corinto es otro ejemplo de cómo Dios resiste a los orgullosos y le da gracia a los humildes.
When opposition to the gospel shuts one door, the Lord opens another one. Having rejected the gospel, God shifts the focus of Paul’s missionary effort from the Jewish people in Corinth to the gentiles notorious for their idolatrous and immoral ways. The story of the church in Corinth is yet another example of how God resists the proud and gives grace to the humble.

Celoso, hambriento y arrogante. Estas palabras de árbol capturan la respuesta al evangelio de las ciudades de Tesalónica, Berea y Atenas de las ciudades en Hechos 17. Cada una de estas reacciones ve el Evangelio de manera diferente y cada una de ellas requiere un enfoque diferente. El primero, los celos es una respuesta emocional en la que el evangelio se percibe como una amenaza. El segundo es una respuesta espiritual en la que el evangelio es el cumplimiento de las Escrituras. La tercera respuesta es una respuesta intelectual en la que el evangelio es despreciado como indigna de consideración seria.
Jealous, hungry, and haughty. These tree words capture the response to the gospel of the cities of Thessalonica, Berea and Athens of the cities in Acts 17. Each one of these reactions sees the gospel differently and each one of these requires a different approach. The first one, Jealousy is an emotional response where the gospel is perceived as a threat. The second one is a spiritual response where the gospel is shown to be the fulfillment of the Scriptures. The third response is an intellectual response where the gospel is disdained as unworthy of serious consideration.
