"Aprendiendo a Crecer". 19 de Marzo, 2023

Istrouma en Español Mar 19 , 2023 ========== 19 de Marzo, 2023 "Aprendiendo a Crecer" Marcos 6:30-44 ========== ‭‭S. Marcos‬ ‭6‬:‭30‬-‭44‬‬ Entonces los apóstoles se juntaron con Jesús, y le contaron todo lo que habían hecho, y lo que habían enseñado. Él les dijo: Venid vosotros aparte a un lugar desierto, y descansad un poco. Porque eran muchos los que iban y venían, de manera que ni aun tenían tiempo para comer. Y se fueron solos en una barca a un lugar desierto. Pero muchos los vieron ir, y le reconocieron; y muchos fueron allá a pie desde las ciudades, y llegaron antes que ellos, y se juntaron a él. Y salió Jesús y vio una gran multitud, y tuvo compasión de ellos, porque eran como ovejas que no tenían pastor; y comenzó a enseñarles muchas cosas. Cuando ya era muy avanzada la hora, sus discípulos se acercaron a él, diciendo: El lugar es desierto, y la hora ya muy avanzada. Despídelos para que vayan a los campos y aldeas de alrededor, y compren pan, pues no tienen qué comer. Respondiendo él, les dijo: Dadles vosotros de comer. Ellos le dijeron: ¿Que vayamos y compremos pan por doscientos denarios, y les demos de comer? Él les dijo: ¿Cuántos panes tenéis? Id y vedlo. Y al saberlo, dijeron: Cinco, y dos peces. Y les mandó que hiciesen recostar a todos por grupos sobre la hierba verde. Y se recostaron por grupos, de ciento en ciento, y de cincuenta en cincuenta. Entonces tomó los cinco panes y los dos peces, y levantando los ojos al cielo, bendijo, y partió los panes, y dio a sus discípulos para que los pusiesen delante; y repartió los dos peces entre todos. Y comieron todos, y se saciaron. Y recogieron de los pedazos doce cestas llenas, y de lo que sobró de los peces. Y los que comieron eran cinco mil hombres. 1. Dios tiene compasión de todas las personas (30-34). 2. Cuando Dios te pide que hagas algo, ¡tú puedes hacerlo! (35-38). 3. Puedes hacer cualquier cosa con Dios (39-44) [Image] https://imageproxy.youversionapi.com/640x640/https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/mushroom-event-images-prod/117574509-1674944131131.jpg [Image] https://imageproxy.youversionapi.com/640x640/https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/mushroom-event-images-prod/117574509-1662179323184.jpg [Image] https://imageproxy.youversionapi.com/640x640/https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/mushroom-event-images-prod/117574509-1662178078340.jpg [Image] https://imageproxy.youversionapi.com/640x640/https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/mushroom-event-images-prod/117574509-1662178099944.jpg Regístrate ¡Si es la primera vez que asistes te invitamos a que te registres utilizando el siguiente link! https://istrouma.org/nuevo Nuestro Facebook Link de nuestro facebook donde nuestros servicios estarán en vivo ¡Acompáñanos! https://www.facebook.com/IBCespanol/ Visita nuestra pagina oficial: ¡Te esperamos! https://istrouma.org/espanol

And he said to them, “Come away by yourselves to a desolate place and rest a while.” For many were coming and going, and they had no leisure even to eat. And they went away in the boat to a desolate place by themselves. Now many saw them going and recognized them, and they ran there on foot from all the towns and got there ahead of them. When he went ashore he saw a great crowd, and he had compassion on them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd. And he began to teach them many things. And when it grew late, his disciples came to him and said, “This is a desolate place, and the hour is now late. Send them away to go into the surrounding countryside and villages and buy themselves something to eat.” But he answered them, “You give them something to eat.” And they said to him, “Shall we go and buy two hundred denarii worth of bread and give it to them to eat?” And he said to them, “How many loaves do you have? Go and see.” And when they had found out, they said, “Five, and two fish.” Then he commanded them all to sit down in groups on the green grass. So they sat down in groups, by hundreds and by fifties. And taking the five loaves and the two fish, he looked up to heaven and said a blessing and broke the loaves and gave them to the disciples to set before the people. And he divided the two fish among them all. And they all ate and were satisfied. And they took up twelve baskets full of broken pieces and of the fish. And those who ate the loaves were five thousand men. 1. Excited and tired 2. Inconvenienced to exhausted 3. Tested and exasperated

Yet, I want Your will, not My will!” RESIST TEMPTATION Luke 22:31-32 “Simon, Simon, look out. Satan has asked to sift you like wheat. But I have prayed for you that your faith may not fail. And you, when you have turned back, strengthen your brothers.” Matthew 4:1 “Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the desert to be tempted by the devil” Temptation Temptation is not a sin Everybody battles temptation Temptation always tests your loyalty Philippians 4:8 “Fix your thoughts on what is true and good and right and pure.” Galatians 5:16 So I say, walk by the Spirit, “Faith in God offers no assurance against tragedy, but in every case, suffering offers an opportunity for us to display God’s work”. - Philip Yancey Romans 8:17 “Now if we are children, then we are heirs—heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in His sufferings in order that we may also share in His glory.” Philippians 2:5 “Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus” Want to receive weekly announcements in your inbox each week? https://istrouma.org/email Give Online Text ISTROUMA IBC to 73256 or go to: https://istrouma.org/give Our Website https://istrouma.org https://istrouma.org/

Pero Jesús le respondió: Deja ahora, porque así conviene que cumplamos toda justicia. Entonces le dejó. Y Jesús, después que fue bautizado, subió luego del agua; y he aquí los cielos le fueron abiertos, y vio al Espíritu de Dios que descendía como paloma, y venía sobre él.

We glorify God by making disciples of all nations. ========== Connection Card https://istrouma.org/myinfo March 12, 2023 | Tim Keith John 15:1-8 ‭‭John‬ ‭15‬:‭1‬-‭8‬‬ “I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. Every branch in me that does not produce fruit he removes, and he prunes every branch that produces fruit so that it will produce more fruit. You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you. Remain in me, and I in you. Just as a branch is unable to produce fruit by itself unless it remains on the vine, neither can you unless you remain in me. I am the vine; you are the branches. The one who remains in me and I in him produces much fruit, because you can do nothing without me. If anyone does not remain in me, he is thrown aside like a branch and he withers. They gather them, throw them into the fire, and they are burned. If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you want and it will be done for you. My Father is glorified by this: that you produce much fruit and prove to be my disciples. When Jesus says "Remain in Me" Who is Jesus talking to? “every branch in Me” v.2 What does He mean? Stay close to Me v.7 When do I remain in Jesus? Every Day Where do I remain in Jesus? Everywhere Why Remain in Jesus? ​* God's Blessing (v.2) ​* Be Fruitful (v.2 & v.5) ​* God's Glory (v.8) * Your Joy (v.11) How do I remain in Jesus? * Keep going back when you stray (John 21:7) * Keep reading His word and praying     (Istrouma.org http://istrouma.org/: Devotion and Prayer Guide) * Remove Distractions Why do we spend so much time trying to grow fruit that isn’t going to remain? Is your fruit going to remain? ‭‭Galatians‬ ‭5‬:‭22‬-‭23‬‬ But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. The law is not against such things. ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭3‬:‭8‬‬ Therefore produce fruit consistent with repentance. ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭3‬:‭3‬‬ But you, Lord, are a shield around me, my glory, and the one who lifts up my head.

Every branch in me that does not bear fruit he takes away, and every branch that does bear fruit he prunes, that it may bear more fruit. Already you are clean because of the word that I have spoken to you. Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in me. I am the vine; you are the branches.

We glorify God by making disciples of all nations. ========== Connection Card https://istrouma.org/myinfo March 5, 2023 | Tim Keith Matthew 4:18-22 Are You A Fan Or A Follower? ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭4‬:‭18‬-‭22‬‬ As he was walking along the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon (who is called Peter), and his brother Andrew. They were casting a net into the sea — for they were fishermen. “Follow me,” he told them, “and I will make you fish for people.” Immediately they left their nets and followed him. Going on from there, he saw two other brothers, James the son of Zebedee, and his brother John. They were in a boat with Zebedee their father, preparing their nets, and he called them. Immediately they left the boat and their father and followed him. WHEN JESUS SAYS "FOLLOW ME" (Matthew 4:18-22) Who is it for? Everyone who knows Jesus (4:18) ‭‭Luke‬ ‭5‬:‭1‬-‭11‬‬ As the crowd was pressing in on Jesus to hear God’s word, he was standing by Lake Gennesaret. He saw two boats at the edge of the lake; the fishermen had left them and were washing their nets. He got into one of the boats, which belonged to Simon, and asked him to put out a little from the land. Then he sat down and was teaching the crowds from the boat. When he had finished speaking, he said to Simon, “Put out into deep water and let down your nets for a catch.” “Master,” Simon replied, “we’ve worked hard all night long and caught nothing. But if you say so, I’ll let down the nets.” When they did this, they caught a great number of fish, and their nets began to tear. So they signaled to their partners in the other boat to come and help them; they came and filled both boats so full that they began to sink. When Simon Peter saw this, he fell at Jesus’s knees and said, “Go away from me, because I’m a sinful man, Lord!” For he and all those with him were amazed at the catch of fish they had taken, and so were James and John, Zebedee’s sons, who were Simon’s partners. “Don’t be afraid,” Jesus told Simon. “From now on you will be catching people.” Then they brought the boats to land, left everything, and followed him. What does He want? Focus on living out the message of salvation (4:19) When do I respond? Immediately, if not sooner. (4:20) Where do I go? Go with Jesus --> wherever He leads… (4:20) Why do I go? It’s Jesus calling… ‭‭Revelation‬ ‭19‬:‭16‬‬ And he has a name written on his robe and on his thigh: King of Kings and Lord of Lords. How do I respond? Be willing to leave everything. Drop your nets (4:20) Look at what they left... - their comfort and safety - their careers and possessions - their families and friends - their sin and selfishness ‭‭Mark‬ ‭8‬:‭34‬-‭37‬‬ Calling the crowd along with his disciples, he said to them, “If anyone wants to follow after me, let him deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me. For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life because of me and the gospel will save it. For what does it benefit someone to gain the whole world and yet lose his life? What can anyone give in exchange for his life? What if they would have asked, “Should we do it?” What am I holding on to too tightly? What am I doing that only makes sense in light of the Gospel? Looking at my life, how do I know that I’m a follower of Jesus? What is God calling me to do? The call is not to sit, it is to go! To be a follower of Jesus is not about making decisions, it’s about making disciples! ‭‭Luke‬ ‭14‬:‭33‬‬ In the same way, therefore, every one of you who does not renounce all his possessions cannot be my disciple. ‭‭Galatians‬ ‭2‬:‭20‬‬ I have been crucified with Christ, and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭13‬:‭44‬‬ “The kingdom of heaven is like treasure, buried in a field, that a man found and reburied. Then in his joy he goes and sells everything he has and buys that field.

To the Jews I became like a Jew, to win Jews; to those under the law, like one under the law — though I myself am not under the law  — to win those under the law. To those who are without the law, like one without the law — though I am not without God’s law but under the law of Christ — to win those without the law. To the weak I became weak, in order to win the weak. I have become all things to all people, so that I may by every possible means save some. Now I do all this because of the gospel, so that I may share in the blessings. Don’t you know that the runners in a stadium all race, but only one receives the prize? Run in such a way to win the prize. Now everyone who competes exercises self-control in everything. They do it to receive a perishable crown, but we an imperishable crown.

We glorify God by making disciples of all nations. ========== Connection Card https://istrouma.org/myinfo February 19, 2023 | Tim Keith We INVITE everyone to INVEST everything to see the Kingdom of God INCREASE everywhere. INVEST: Read The New Testament New Testament Info: 7,957 verses 27 books 9 authors 50 years Greek language Central theme: Jesus the Messiah ‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭4‬:‭11‬-‭13‬‬ Let us, then, make every effort to enter that rest, so that no one will fall into the same pattern of disobedience. For the word of God is living and effective and sharper than any double-edged sword, penetrating as far as the separation of soul and spirit, joints and marrow. It is able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart. No creature is hidden from him, but all things are naked and exposed to the eyes of him to whom we must give an account. 1. God's Word Brings Dead Sinners to Life 1 Peter 1:23 “for you have been born again not of seed which is perishable but imperishable, that is, through the living and enduring word of God.” John 20:31 “these [signs] have been written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing you may have life in His name.” 2. God's Word Brings Daily, Renewed Life to God’s People Convicts me Hebrews 4:12 Guides me Psalm 119:105 Refines me Jeremiah 23:29 Washes away my impurities Ephesians 5:26 Nourishes me 1 Peter 2:2 God’s Word “heals most completely, where it wounds most deeply” -- J. B. Lightfoot ‭‭1 John‬ ‭1‬:‭9‬‬ If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. ‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭4‬:‭13‬‬ No creature is hidden from him, but all things are naked and exposed to the eyes of him to whom we must give an account. istrouma.org/NTreadingplan Want to receive weekly announcements in your inbox each week? https://istrouma.org/email Give Online Text ISTROUMA IBC to 73256 or go to: https://istrouma.org/give Our Website https://istrouma.org https://istrouma.org/

On the contrary, whoever wants to become great among you will be your servant, and whoever wants to be first among you will be a slave to all. For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.” They came to Jericho. And as he was leaving Jericho with his disciples and a large crowd, Bartimaeus (the son of Timaeus), a blind beggar, was sitting by the road. When he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!” Many warned him to keep quiet, but he was crying out all the more, “Have mercy on me, Son of David!” Jesus stopped and said, “Call him.” So they called the blind man and said to him, “Have courage! Get up; he’s calling for you.” He threw off his coat, jumped up, and came to Jesus. Then Jesus answered him, “What do you want me to do for you?” “Rabboni,” the blind man said to him, “I want to see.” Jesus said to him, “Go, your faith has saved you.” Immediately he could see and began to follow Jesus on the road. Jesus was Available to Serve We Get Too Busy We Lie to Ourselves ‭‭Ecclesiastes‬ ‭11‬:‭4‬‬ One who watches the wind will not sow, and the one who looks at the clouds will not reap. We Chase the Wrong Success ‭‭Luke‬ ‭16‬:‭13‬‬ No servant can serve two masters, since either he will hate one and love the other, or he will be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.” SHOW UP ‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭10‬:‭24‬-‭25‬‬ And let us consider one another in order to provoke love and good works, not neglecting to gather together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging each other, and all the more as you see the day approaching. SERVE OTHERS ‭‭Mark‬ ‭10‬:‭45‬‬ For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.” ‭‭1 Peter‬ ‭4‬:‭10‬-‭11‬‬ Just as each one has received a gift, use it to serve others, as good stewards of the varied grace of God. If anyone speaks, let it be as one who speaks God’s words; if anyone serves, let it be from the strength God provides, so that God may be glorified through Jesus Christ in everything. To him be the glory and the power forever and ever.

Me he hecho débil a los débiles, para ganar a los débiles; a todos me he hecho de todo, para que de todos modos salve a algunos. Y esto hago por causa del evangelio, para hacerme copartícipe de él.

Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is abundant, but the workers are few. Therefore, pray to the Lord of the harvest to send out workers into his harvest.” ‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭9‬:‭19‬-‭25‬‬ Although I am free from all and not anyone’s slave, I have made myself a slave to everyone, in order to win more people. To the Jews I became like a Jew, to win Jews; to those under the law, like one under the law — though I myself am not under the law  — to win those under the law. To those who are without the law, like one without the law — though I am not without God’s law but under the law of Christ — to win those without the law. To the weak I became weak, in order to win the weak. I have become all things to all people, so that I may by every possible means save some. Now I do all this because of the gospel, so that I may share in the blessings. Don’t you know that the runners in a stadium all race, but only one receives the prize? Run in such a way to win the prize. Now everyone who competes exercises self-control in everything. They do it to receive a perishable crown, but we an imperishable crown.

The tree of life was on each side of the river, bearing twelve kinds of fruit, producing its fruit every month. The leaves of the tree are for healing the nations, and there will no longer be any curse. The throne of God and of the Lamb will be in the city, and his servants will worship him. They will see his face, and his name will be on their foreheads. Night will be no more; people will not need the light of a lamp or the light of the sun, because the Lord God will give them light, and they will reign forever and ever. Then he said to me, “These words are faithful and true. The Lord, the God of the spirits of the prophets, has sent his angel to show his servants what must soon take place.” “Look, I am coming soon! Blessed is the one who keeps the words of the prophecy of this book.” I, John, am the one who heard and saw these things. When I heard and saw them, I fell down to worship at the feet of the angel who had shown them to me. But he said to me, “Don’t do that! I am a fellow servant with you, your brothers the prophets, and those who keep the words of this book. Worship God!” Then he said to me, “Don’t seal up the words of the prophecy of this book, because the time is near. Let the unrighteous go on in unrighteousness; let the filthy still be filthy; let the righteous go on in righteousness; let the holy still be holy.” “Look, I am coming soon, and my reward is with me to repay each person according to his work. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end. “Blessed are those who wash their robes, so that they may have the right to the tree of life and may enter the city by the gates. Outside are the dogs, the sorcerers, the sexually immoral, the murderers, the idolaters, and everyone who loves and practices falsehood. “I, Jesus, have sent my angel to attest these things to you for the churches. I am the Root and descendant of David, the bright morning star.” Both the Spirit and the bride say, “Come!” Let anyone who hears, say, “Come!” Let the one who is thirsty come. Let the one who desires take the water of life freely. I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: If anyone adds to them, God will add to him the plagues that are written in this book. And if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God will take away his share of the tree of life and the holy city, which are written about in this book. He who testifies about these things says, “Yes, I am coming soon.” Amen! Come, Lord Jesus! The grace of the Lord Jesus be with everyone. Amen. ‭‭Revelation‬ ‭21‬:‭6‬‬ Then he said to me, “It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. I will freely give to the thirsty from the spring of the water of life. Tells us what we are (v. 11) Tells us where we are (v. 12-15) Tells us whose we are (v. 16) Three last things we see 1. The Last Welcome (v. 17) 2. The Last Warning (v. 18-19) Luke 13:3 "Unless you repent, you will all perish." 3. The Last Word (v. 20-21) 2 Corinthians 4:16-18 16 Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. 17 For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. 18 So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal. 2 Corinthians 12:1-4 I will go on to visions and revelations from the Lord. 2 I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago was caught up to the third heaven. Whether it was in the body or out of the body I do not know—God knows. 3 And I know that this man—whether in the body or apart from the body I do not know, but God knows— 4 was caught up to paradise. He heard inexpressible things, things that man is not permitted to tell. Your view of Heaven will determine how you live on Earth! Revelation 17:14 “They will make war against the Lamb, but the Lamb will overcome them because He is Lord of lords and King of kings — and with Him will be His called, chosen and faithful followers”. 2 Corinthians 12:10 “That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties.

Esperanza La de la Nueva Jerusalén: 22 de Enero, 2023

Istrouma en Español Jan 22 , 2023 ========== 22 de Enero, 2023 Esperanza La de la Nueva Jerusalén Apoc. 22:1-8 ========== ‭‭Apocalipsis‬ ‭22‬:‭1‬-‭8‬‬ Después me mostró un río limpio de agua de vida, resplandeciente como cristal, que salía del trono de Dios y del Cordero. En medio de la calle de la ciudad, y a uno y otro lado del río, estaba el árbol de la vida, que produce doce frutos, dando cada mes su fruto; y las hojas del árbol eran para la sanidad de las naciones. Y no habrá más maldición; y el trono de Dios y del Cordero estará en ella, y sus siervos le servirán, y verán su rostro, y su nombre estará en sus frentes. No habrá allí más noche; y no tienen necesidad de luz de lámpara, ni de luz del sol, porque Dios el Señor los iluminará; y reinarán por los siglos de los siglos. Y me dijo: Estas palabras son fieles y verdaderas. Y el Señor, el Dios de los espíritus de los profetas, ha enviado su ángel, para mostrar a sus siervos las cosas que deben suceder pronto. ¡He aquí, vengo pronto! Bienaventurado el que guarda las palabras de la profecía de este libro. Yo Juan soy el que oyó y vio estas cosas. Y después que las hube oído y visto, me postré para adorar a los pies del ángel que me mostraba estas cosas. 1. UN RÍO QUE CORRE DESDE EL TRONO DE DIOS (V.1) a. Un río limpio de agua de vida b. Resplandeciente como cristal c. Del trono de Dios y del Cordero 2. EL ÁRBOL DE LA VIDA (V.2) a. El árbol de la vida b. Que produce doce frutos, dando cada mes su fruto c. Las hojas del árbol eran para la sanidad de las naciones 3. ¿CÓMO SERÁ EL CIELO Y QUÉ HAREMOS ALLÍ? (V.3-5) a. No habrá más maldición b. Sus siervos le servirán c. Verán su rostro d. Su nombre estará en sus frentes e. No habrá allí más noche f. Reinarán por los siglos de los siglos 4. A QUIÉN ADORAR? (V.6-8) CONCLUSIONES 1. TODO ESTO ES PARTE DE UNA RECOMPENSA QUE DIOS DA A LOS QUE VENCIEREN 2. NO HAY NADA MAS MARAVILLOSO QUE LO QUE DIOS HA PREPARADO PARA SUS SIERVOS 3. TODO ESTE TIEMPO MIENTRAS SUCEDA TODO ESTO DEBERIAMOS ESTAR PREPARANDONOS PARA ADORAR AL SEÑOR PORQUE ALLA EN SU PRESENCIA ESTAREMOS ADORANDO Y SIRVIENDO A DIOS POR SIEMPRE.

Nuestro Hogar Eterno: 15 de Enero, 2023

Istrouma en Español Jan 15 – 17, 2023 ========== 15 de Enero, 2023 Nuestro Hogar Eterno Apocalipsis 21:10-27 ========== ‭‭Apocalipsis‬ ‭21‬:‭10‬-‭27‬‬ Y me llevó en el Espíritu a un monte grande y alto, y me mostró la gran ciudad santa de Jerusalén, que descendía del cielo, de Dios, teniendo la gloria de Dios. Y su fulgor era semejante al de una piedra preciosísima, como piedra de jaspe, diáfana como el cristal. Tenía un muro grande y alto con doce puertas; y en las puertas, doce ángeles, y nombres inscritos, que son los de las doce tribus de los hijos de Israel; al oriente tres puertas; al norte tres puertas; al sur tres puertas; al occidente tres puertas. Y el muro de la ciudad tenía doce cimientos, y sobre ellos los doce nombres de los doce apóstoles del Cordero. El que hablaba conmigo tenía una caña de medir, de oro, para medir la ciudad, sus puertas y su muro. La ciudad se halla establecida en cuadro, y su longitud es igual a su anchura; y él midió la ciudad con la caña, doce mil estadios; la longitud, la altura y la anchura de ella son iguales. Y midió su muro, ciento cuarenta y cuatro codos, de medida de hombre, la cual es de ángel. El material de su muro era de jaspe; pero la ciudad era de oro puro, semejante al vidrio limpio; y los cimientos del muro de la ciudad estaban adornados con toda piedra preciosa. El primer cimiento era jaspe; el segundo, zafiro; el tercero, ágata; el cuarto, esmeralda; el quinto, ónice; el sexto, cornalina; el séptimo, crisólito; el octavo, berilo; el noveno, topacio; el décimo, crisopraso; el undécimo, jacinto; el duodécimo, amatista. Las doce puertas eran doce perlas; cada una de las puertas era una perla. Y la calle de la ciudad era de oro puro, transparente como vidrio. Y no vi en ella templo; porque el Señor Dios Todopoderoso es el templo de ella, y el Cordero. La ciudad no tiene necesidad de sol ni de luna que brillen en ella; porque la gloria de Dios la ilumina, y el Cordero es su lumbrera. Y las naciones que hubieren sido salvas andarán a la luz de ella; y los reyes de la tierra traerán su gloria y honor a ella. Sus puertas nunca serán cerradas de día, pues allí no habrá noche. Y llevarán la gloria y la honra de las naciones a ella. No entrará en ella ninguna cosa inmunda, o que hace abominación y mentira, sino solamente los que están inscritos en el libro de la vida del Cordero. 1. La Perfección del Cielo. 2. La Protección del Cielo. 3. La Permanencia del Cielo.

Heaven's Hope: January 8, 2023

Istrouma Baptist Church (BR) Jan 8, 2023 ========== January 8 l Heaven's Hope Welcome! We're glad you've joined us today for our Sunday morning worship service! For more information about Istrouma, go to istrouma.org http://istrouma.org/ or contact us at info@istrouma.org. We glorify God by making disciples of all nations. ========== Connection Card https://istrouma.org/myinfo January 8, 2023 | Tim Keith Revelation 21 ‭‭Revelation‬ ‭21‬:‭1‬-‭27‬‬ Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth; for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea was no more. I also saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared like a bride adorned for her husband. Then I heard a loud voice from the throne: Look, God’s dwelling is with humanity, and he will live with them. They will be his peoples, and God himself will be with them and will be their God. He will wipe away every tear from their eyes. Death will be no more; grief, crying, and pain will be no more, because the previous things have passed away. Then the one seated on the throne said, “Look, I am making everything new.” He also said, “Write, because these words are faithful and true.” Then he said to me, “It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. I will freely give to the thirsty from the spring of the water of life. The one who conquers will inherit these things, and I will be his God, and he will be my son. But the cowards, faithless, detestable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars  — their share will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is the second death.” Then one of the seven angels, who had held the seven bowls filled with the seven last plagues, came and spoke with me: “Come, I will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb.” He then carried me away in the Spirit to a great, high mountain and showed me the holy city, Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, arrayed with God’s glory. Her radiance was like a precious jewel, like a jasper stone, clear as crystal. The city had a massive high wall, with twelve gates. Twelve angels were at the gates; the names of the twelve tribes of Israel’s sons were inscribed on the gates. There were three gates on the east, three gates on the north, three gates on the south, and three gates on the west. The city wall had twelve foundations, and the twelve names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb were on the foundations. The one who spoke with me had a golden measuring rod to measure the city, its gates, and its wall. The city is laid out in a square; its length and width are the same. He measured the city with the rod at 12,000 stadia. Its length, width, and height are equal. Then he measured its wall, 144 cubits according to human measurement, which the angel used. The building material of its wall was jasper, and the city was pure gold clear as glass. The foundations of the city wall were adorned with every kind of jewel: the first foundation is jasper, the second sapphire, the third chalcedony, the fourth emerald, the fifth sardonyx, the sixth carnelian, the seventh chrysolite, the eighth beryl, the ninth topaz, the tenth chrysoprase, the eleventh jacinth, the twelfth amethyst. The twelve gates are twelve pearls; each individual gate was made of a single pearl. The main street of the city was pure gold, transparent as glass. I did not see a temple in it, because the Lord God the Almighty and the Lamb are its temple. The city does not need the sun or the moon to shine on it, because the glory of God illuminates it, and its lamp is the Lamb. The nations will walk by its light, and the kings of the earth will bring their glory into it. Its gates will never close by day because it will never be night there. They will bring the glory and honor of the nations into it. Nothing unclean will ever enter it, nor anyone who does what is detestable or false, but only those written in the Lamb’s book of life. Genesis 3:8: “Then the man and his wife heard the sound of the LORD God as He was walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and they hid from the LORD God among the trees of the garden.” - No more sickness or suffering or death - No more sadness - No more sin Jude 24: “[All glory] To Him who is able to keep you from falling and to present you before His glorious presence without fault and with great joy.” 1. Don’t be distracted by temptation. 1 Peter 1:13-15 - “So think clearly and exercise self-control. Look forward to the gracious salvation that will come to you when Jesus Christ is revealed to the world. 14 So you must live as God’s obedient children. Don’t slip back into your old ways of living to satisfy your own desires. You didn’t know any better then. 15 But now you must be holy in everything you do, just as God who chose you is holy.” 2. Don’t be discouraged by trouble. 2 Corinthians 4:16-17 - “For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all.” 3. Desire what matters most Phil 3:14 -- “I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.” Want to receive weekly announcements in your inbox each week? https://istrouma.org/email Give Online Text ISTROUMA IBC to 73256 or go to: https://istrouma.org/give Our Website https://istrouma.org https://istrouma.org/
