The Great Commission: A Powerful Directive for Believers


Embrace the divine calling entrusted to us by Jesus as outlined in Matthew 28:19-20. This sacred commission is not merely a suggestion; it is a powerful directive that challenges us to take action. 

Therefore, let us embark on a mission to reach out to all peoples across the globe. We are commanded to share the profound teachings and life-changing message of Jesus Christ with each nation, culture, and community we encounter. This journey involves not only sharing the gospel but also performing the important act of baptizing individuals in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost. Through baptism, we signify the beginning of a transformative relationship with God, welcoming new believers into the vibrant community of faith.

As we engage in this important work, we must also commit ourselves to teaching others to observe and uphold the multitude of commandments that Jesus imparted to His disciples. This includes instilling principles of love, compassion, justice, and service that reflect Christ's teachings. It is our responsibility to ensure that these values are not only learned but deeply embedded in the hearts and actions of those we teach.

And as we undertake this monumental task, we can take heart in the promise that Jesus has made: He assures us that we are never alone in this endeavor. His presence accompanies us always, providing guidance and support, even to the very end of time. We are empowered by His steadfast assurance and boundless love as we strive to fulfill this noble commission. Let us step forward with confidence, holding fast to our faith, and commit ourselves wholeheartedly to spreading His message and making disciples of all nations.

Stephen's Death

  Understanding Matthew 16:25 In the King James Version of the Bible, Matthew 16:25 beautifully encapsulates a powerful spiritual paradox: "For whoever seeks to save their life will lose it; but whoever loses their life for my sake will find it." It's a thought-provoking reminder that sometimes, in the quest for self-preservation and comfort, we might actually miss out on the deeper, more profound life that comes from surrendering ourselves for a greater purpose. The Heartwrenching Death of Stephen Now, if we shift gears a bit and dive into Acts 7:58-60, we find ourselves facing one of the most intense moments in the early Christian church – the execution of Stephen. Stephen wasn’t just your average believer; he was one of the very first deacons appointed to help with the needs of the early church. People recognized him for his incredible faith, wisdom, and the outpouring of the Holy Spirit in his life. Unfortunately, this great calling came at a high price. God's Hol...

Poder de Oración

La oración es un acto tan sincero y poderoso; es básicamente nuestra manera de acercarnos al Ser Supremo, ¿verdad? Piénsalo como una petición profunda y significativa, como una carta de amor a Dios donde le expresamos nuestras esperanzas, deseos e incluso nuestras preocupaciones. Cuando hablamos de una oración basada en la Palabra de Dios, destacamos que esta es realmente la única defensa sólida que tenemos contra los desafíos invisibles que la vida nos presenta. Es como blandir una espada espiritual contra cualquier negatividad que pueda surgir. Para muchos cristianos, la oración no solo se anima; ¡es un salvavidas! Es la fuente de consuelo y fortaleza que nos ayuda a navegar los altibajos de la vida. Y aquí está lo mejor: la oración no es solo parcial. No es como si estuviéramos ahí de pie dando un monólogo esperando una respuesta. ¡Para nada! La oración es una vía de doble sentido, un diálogo donde llevamos nuestras preocupaciones y sentimientos a Dios y escuchamos con sinceridad lo...

cubierta de cabeza

  1 Corintios 11:4-13 RV 1909 4. Todo varón que ora ó profetiza cubierta la cabeza, afrenta su cabeza. 5. Mas toda mujer que ora ó profetiza no cubierta su cabeza, afrenta su cabeza; porque lo mismo es que si se rayese. 6. Porque si la mujer no se cubre, trasquílese también: y si es deshonesto á la mujer trasquilarse ó raerse, cúbrase. 7. Porque el varón no ha de cubrir la cabeza, porque es imagen y gloria de Dios: mas la mujer es gloria del varón. 8. Porque el varón no es de la mujer, sino la mujer del varón. 9. Porque tampoco el varón fué criado por causa de la mujer, sino la mujer por causa del varón. 10. Por lo cual, la mujer debe tener señal de potestad sobre su cabeza, por causa de los ángeles. 11. Mas ni el varón sin la mujer, ni la mujer sin el varón, en el Señor. 12. Porque como la mujer es del varón, así también el varón es por la mujer: empero todo de Dios. 13. Juzgad vosotros mismos: ¿es honesto orar la mujer á Dios no cubierta? Comentario: Cuando un hombre ora o profet...
