Spanish Sermons from 2013

Every pagan empire — past, present and future — will fall and be replaced by Christ's rule.

The prophetic expectation of the Old Testament was salvation through the Messiah, the seed of the woman, and all history finally focuses in on that moment of promise to Mary. The incarnation is the great miracle of the Bible to which all previous miracles point and all that follow spring from. Christianity is the story of one grand miracle — the incursion and invasion of God into human history in the person of His Son.

Isaiah 64:1-9 is a plea for God to rend the heavens and come down to do awesome things we did not look for. It is also a confession of sin. We are unclean, our righteous deeds are like a polluted garment, and we are fading like a dead leaf. We have been in our sins a long time, and Isaiah asks, "Shall we be saved?" The Gospel is God's answer to Isaiah's plea. In Christ, God has opened the heavens and come down and done awesome things we did not look for. Christ cleanses us from our sin, clothes us in his righteousness, and gives us eternal life.

There is a covenantal relationship between God and His people; church leaders are entrusted with the care of your souls.

All societies require social financing; God provides a means of social financing in tithing, giving, and lending. If we do not honour God in these ways, the State moves in and gains influence and control.

God is building an eternal family, an eternal city, not made with human hands.

Pagan tolerance goes only one way; opposition is silenced. Ahab and Jezebel coveted, killed, and stole to get their way.

We live in a time of social, political, and economic upheaval. Despite all this, God is sovereign.

Sanctification is to be pursued along with peace. It is never loving to confirm people in their sin.

Earthly fathers are imperfect, but God's discipline is always appropriate and it is for our good.

Though incomplete and imperfect, we know that our faith is used by God to accomplish His purposes.

Moses' faith was a specific and practical faith, taking risks and taking action. Moses had to face God at the burning bush; he had to confront Pharaoh; and he led rebellious Israel.
