To be life-giving we must first be life-receiving. In God’s story all life originates in God. God created the world by his Word and it is his Word that sustains our lives and gives us a chance to choose life. Psalm 1 outlines the first steps of our journey. In God’s economy, choosing life begins with trusting and treasuring God’s word.

Whyis delight in God’s word essential for a life-choosing lifestyle?

Delight in God’s word is essential for a life-choosing lifestyle because…

We live in a world filled with lifestyles characterized by destructive choices.
1. The way of the wicked, the sinner, and the scoffer Psalm 1:1.
2. Their lifestyle and their end Psalm 1:4-5.
God offers us direction in a world of confusion.
1. Direction: the law of the Lord Psalm 1:2, Psalm 19.
2. Our disposition: meditates– read, reflect, respond and rest- REMAIN cf. John 8:31-32.
With his direction God also offers his provision Psalm 1:3
1. God’s desire: Fruitfulness through faithfulness Psalm 1:3.
2. The assurance of those who trust in God’s word: God knows their way Psalm 1:6.

To choose life-Trust and treasure God’s word.

Bienvenidos a la Familia | Hechos 2:42-47, 4:32-37

La gente busca una comunidad auténtica, pero rara vez la encuentra. La iglesia primitiva no creció por una buena estrategia de marketing, sino por una forma de vida diferente. Su vida compartida era tan atractiva que cautivaba a la gente, y tan sagrada que la inquietaba. ¿Y si la defensa más poderosa no reside en lo que decimos, sino en cómo vivimos juntos?

People are searching for authentic community—but rarely find it. The early church didn’t grow because it marketed itself well, but because it lived differently. Their shared life was so compelling it drew people in—and so holy it unsettled them. What if the most powerful apologetic isn’t what we say, but how we live together?

Llenos del Espíritu en privado o en público | Hechos 1:12-2:41

April 26, 2026by Dr. Miguel Lopez

Hoy en día, la fe suele considerarse algo privado: silencioso, personal y contenido. Pero cuando el Espíritu de Dios desciende, como se relata en Hechos 2, la iglesia no se retira al silencio, sino que irrumpe en las calles. El evangelio no se susurra; se proclama. Y cuando se proclama, exige una respuesta.
