Streams Of Truth

INTERNATIONAL CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP SUNDAY SCHOOL OUTLINE ( STUDY THREE) ATTITUDES SUB TOPIC: A SECRET STRATEGY SCRIPTURE READING: PROVERBS 14:30, 15:15, 17:22 MEMORY VERSE: WHEN A MAN IS GLOOMY, EVERYTHING SEEMS TO GO WRONG; WHEN HE IS CHEERFUL, EVERYTHING SEEMS RIGHT (PROV 15:15 NLT) Our attitudes color our whole personality. We cannot always choose what happens to us, but we can choose our attitude toward each situation. The secret to a good attitude is to fill our minds with what is good. Dwelling on the positives in life gives us proper perspective during hard times. This was Paul’s strategy as he faced imprisonment, and it can be ours as we face the struggles of daily living. Look at your attitudes, and then examine what you choose to focus and dwell on. DISCUSSION QUESTIONS • Tell about a recent day when everything seemed to go wrong. What helped you through that day? • How does the attitude you adopt first thing in the morning affect the rest of your day? • How do the books you ...

Profecias sober el Mesias – Segunda Semana En el mensaje de la semana pasada discutiamos la primera de muchas profecias presentadas por Nuestro Padre Celestial, quien prometio a su pueblo que El Salvador vendria. Para asegurarse que hubiera quien reconociera al Mesias, Dios dejo promesas de claras senales que harian evidente su llegada. Dios desde el principio de los tiempos planeo como dar la Salvacion a la humanidad. Sabemos que Dios eligio a su pueblo para que le adorara, y para que de igual manera trajeran la bendicion para las naciones. Esta promesa fue dad a Abraham, Dios le prometio que el Salvador vendria de su semilla, tal como se discute en Genesis 12:1-3: “Pero el SEÑOR había dicho a Abram: Vete de tu tierra y de tu naturaleza, y de la casa de tu padre, a la tierra que yo te mostraré; 2 y haré de ti una nación grande, y te bendeciré, y engrandeceré tu nombre, y serás bendición. 3 Y bendeciré a los que te bendijeren, y a los que te maldijeren maldeciré; y serán benditas en ti...

Last week we discussed the first of a large amount of prophesies who were given by Our Heavenly father to his people to let them know and recognize who The Messiah is when the time had to come. God from the beginning had a salvation plan, and this must be understood. In his almighty perfection, God picked Israel as his people. As such, the savior had to come from within the Israelites. The first promise of this was the announcement given to Abraham, where God promised him the Savior was to come from Abraham’s own seed, as discussed in Genesis 12:1-3 1The Lord had said to Abram, “Leave your country, your people and your father’s household and go to the land I will show you. 2“I will make you into a great nation and I will bless you; I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing. 3I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you.” We have here the call by which Abram was removed out of the land of his na...

I was born and grew up in a nation and an environment where being a Christian is a given, at least nominally. While child and teenager I was probably challenged about God’s existence but once cleared about it, I had not been truly questioned about my faith and the why this is the path to God. During the past years The Lord allowed me visiting and living in many places, with different people, different cultures and different believes. It has been already more than 7 years living in places where Christian faith does not have the largest number of adepts. This situation really challenged my view of live and my faith. Throughout the years I was exposed to different versions of what’s supposed to be the way to God: Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, you name it. During this period, the most precious gift I received from God was having the Holy Spirit on my side making the truth evident. The Lord guided me to different sources that helped me building up proofs about the Truth. Throughout the differe...

El Papel De La Evidencia en la construccion de una fe seria Naci y creci en una nacion y en un ambiente donde el ser Cristiano es casi garantizado, por lo menos nominalmente. Durante mi ninez y adolescencia recuerdo haber pensado muchas veces acerca de la existencia de Dios. Sin embargo, no recuerdo nunca pensar, por lo menos seriamente, porque el Cristianismo era la fe en la que debia creer. Durante los ultimos anos, El Senor me ha permitido visitar y vivir en muchos lugares,, con gente de diferentes nacionalidades, culturas y creencias, Ya ha sido mas de 7 anos en lugares donde el cristianismo no ocupa el primer lugar en el numero de adeptos. Esta situacion ha sido un reto para mi concepto de la vida y de mi fe. Estos anos han sido claves para observar y conocer otras creencias y fes que profesan tener la clave para acercarse a Dios: Islam, Hinduismo, Budismo entre otras. Durante este periodo, el regalo mas preciado que Dios me dio fue eltener al Espiritu Santo como...

Octubre 25, 2009 Hasta hace unas pocas horas no sabia que tema elegir para esta semana. Habia pensado en los ultimos dias dedicar un tiempo el domingo por la manana para reflexionar en el Senor para que el me mostrara. La verdad que no fue tan dificil esta vez. Mientras desayunaba esta manana, veia television y decidi cambiar al canal cristiano. En el sermon estaban presentando una serie llamada “como dejar de lado el odio”. Coincidencialmente esta semana estuve estudiando Mateo 5: 21-26, la Ensenanza de Jesus sobre El Odio y eso me indico era el tema a discutir. Mateo 5 es el primer discurso en publico despues que Jesus empezo su ministerio. Recordemos que despues del bautismo y de ser tentado, Jesus eligio sus discipulos. Poco despues la fama de Jesus se extendio, pero sus primeras predicas fueron en Galilea. La primera gran predica, donde habian multitudes se relata en Mateo 5. Aunque Jesus comenzo con las bienaventuranzas, seguido a esto, El nos hablo del odio. Esto nos indica la i...
