What does God’s vision offer his covenant people? God’s vision for his covenant people invests them with…

I. A life-giving identity: Saved people. “God rescued me from death and gave me life to enjoy his life-giving presence.” 19:4

a. Covenant provision: God’s saving works.
b. Covenant expectation: Personal faith

II. A life-giving morality: Sanctified people. “My life is fully dependent on the never-failing, covenant-keeping, redeeming, life-giving Word of God.” 19:5

a. Covenant provision: A treasured possession among the nations.

b. Covenant expectation: Obedience to God’s word.

III. A life-giving responsibility: Sent people. “The purpose of my life is to be God’s representative inviting others to experience God’s life-giving presence.” 19:6

Don’t let the imperfections of your present condition

Cloud your perception of God’s plan and provision.

1. Conversion from death to life is the first and most critical step in our relationship with God. When we trust Christ for our salvation, we are born again. Have you trusted Christ to be your Savior? Have you declared your faith in him publicly through believer’s baptism? If you have questions, talk to any of our ministers or someone in the care center to help you take your next step of obedience.

2. Sanctification is the heart of discipleship. Becoming like Christ is what biblical community is for. If you are not part of a journey group, don’t miss on the opportunity to experience God’s vision for your life!

3. God is preparing DFBC to be a missionally engaged church where each one reaches one. Would you be willing to pray and ask the Lord to give you an opportunity to share the good news with someone in need? It can be as simple as giving a Life card. If you don’t have one please pick one up in the care center.

Dios con nosotros en todo tiempo | Salmo 46

February 22, 2026by Dr. Hugo Gallegos

El salmo 46 es un cántico de “esperanza y confianza”. El salmo se divide en tres estrofas. La primera estrofa, es “una invitación a seguir confiando en el Dios de toda esperanza en medio de las crisis de la vida”. En la segunda estrofa, el salmista revela “quien debe ser Dios para nosotros”. Y, por último, “lo que Dios puede hacer por nosotros”. Entonces, este salmo enseña que el Señor en tiempos de dificultades, crisis, temor y desesperanza; Él es amparo, fortaleza, auxilio, refugio, fuente de esperanza, seguridad, y victoria.
