Who will you trust to get you through? | Luke 24:13-49

A while ago I read a sign that said to not take life too seriously, since we are not going to get out of it alive after all. Life is rarely a walk in the park but it is in the moments of hardship and difficulty that God wants to come alongside to show us that not even death can separate us from his love. In those moments of difficulty, who will you trust to get you through? More than a manual of good principles and morality, the Bible is God’s life-giving story through Jesus Christ. Because of what Jesus has done for us, we are now able to choose life in spite of our spiritual blindness, Jesus is the One we can trust to get us safely through this valley of death.

Why is faith in Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior God’s gracious provision to enable us to choose life?

Faith in Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior is God’s gracious provision to enable us to choose life because…

In spite of our spiritual blindness, Jesus is the fulfillment of God’s Old Covenant promises who opens our eyes to God’s gift of life Luke 24:13-35.
1. Jesus is the proof that God always keeps his Word.
2. Jesus walks alongside us in spite of our lack of spiritual perspicacity bringing us to his table.
In spite of our fears, doubts, and troubles, Jesus has overcome death and called us to freely share his life through our life Luke 24:36-43.
1. Peace instead of fear.
2. Our mission: his suffering for our forgiveness.

To choose life -Trust and follow Jesus Christ.

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.
