We asked to believe in you, Lord, and today we raise our hands in a sign of worship, Lord, because you are holy, you are great, you are God of power, you are worthy of glory, of honor, of power, because you are worthy, Lord, because holy, holy, holy, you are your Lord, Almighty God, my creator, my Lord, thank you, Lord, because you make me your daughter, beloved father, thank you for the sacrifice of Jesus, thank you because you were immolated and you took my sin, you took, Lord, my illness to the cross and you defeated the enemy, and today we tell you, Satan, that you are defeated, that you have no part, no luck in my family, nor with me, nor with my children, nor with this church, nor with the community, you have been defeated, and all the glory, all the praise, all the honor be for you, my Lord, for the centuries of the centuries, amen. And if I find myself lost, I know where I can find you. I will raise the skies and I will raise my eyes to the mountains. I will see you radiant like the sun and I will follow the light of your grace. Because I know that you are still God, that you are still God. If you take care of all, if you take care of all the birds, I know that you take care of me and that is true. Now nothing can separate me because I depend on you. And if I find myself lost, I know where I can find you. I will raise the skies and I will raise my eyes to the mountains. I will see you radiant like the sun and I will follow the light of your grace. Because I know that you are still God, that you are still God. Where does my help come from? And all the centuries, my help comes from you. Who will heal broken hearts? My help, my help comes from where my help comes from. Where does my help come from? My help, my help comes from you. Who will heal broken hearts? My help comes from where my hope comes from. Where does my hope come from? My help comes from you. If there is rest for the soul, my help comes from you.
I will raise the skies and I will raise my eyes to the mountains. I will see you radiant like the sun and I will follow the light of your grace. Because I know that you are still God, that you are still God. That you are still God, that you are still God. Let's give a big round of applause to the King of Kings, may he be heard in heaven. Amen, Amen. Thank you Lord. I love you, Jesus. There is no one like you. Not in heaven, not on earth. You are everything to me. Let's say it all together, I long for you. I long to know you more. To live in holiness and in you. Oh, with you, with you. I always want to be your glory to contemplate. And for eternity, the only thing, the only thing I want is to worship you. Lift up prayer, I come at your feet to deliver. My heart raises your voice, the only thing I want is to please you. The only thing I want is to please you forever. Forever I will sing of your love, we say love. And love rescued me, who cleaned me, who gave me eternal life. Your blood opened the way, it will never be closed, I have freedom. I long to know you more. To live in holiness and in you. Oh, with you, with you. I always want to be your glory to contemplate. And for eternity, the only thing, the only thing I want is to worship you. Lift up prayer, I come at your feet to deliver. My heart raises your voice, the only thing I want is to please you. The only thing I want is to please you forever.
Forever I will sing of your love, we say love. And love rescued me, who cleaned me, who gave me eternal life. Your blood opened the way, it will never be closed, I have freedom. We say love, and love rescued me, who cleaned me, who gave me eternal life. Your blood opened the way, it will never be closed, I have freedom. We have freedom. We have freedom through that love. That rescued us. We have freedom and deserved it. You make our freedom through the victory you already have. And today we have freedom through the love I lead to sacrifice. Today we have freedom. Foreign Foreign Foreign Foreign Foreign Foreign Is Foreign Is Foreign Foreign Is Foreign Foreign Foreign Yes Is Foreign
Foreign Is Foreign Foreign Foreign Foreign Foreign Foreign Foreign Oh Foreign Foreign Foreign Is Foreign Foreign Foreign Foreign Foreign Foreign Foreign Foreign Foreign Foreign Foreign Foreign I've heard this song, but when I saw it, I said this 121 church has to see this video, even if it's old, because here the old are not rejected, right? No, no, here we are all, how beautiful this song that reached the heart and I want to put it as an introduction to this sermon because we have been in the book of what? Of Jonas, so whoever visits us for the first time says, well, they are in the book of Jonas. Yes, I have always heard the book of Jonas preached in a single sermon, the four chapters, but we have divided it chapter by chapter and today we are working on chapter 3.
But whoever needs a summary of Jonas before reaching chapter 3 needs to see this video, can we all see it? Ready? Let's see the video to see if it comes out. Let's go. The word of God. Jonas did not listen to the word of God. That's why people threw him into the deep sea. And a very big fish came and swallowed him. Because he did not listen to the word of God. Because he did not listen to the word of God. Because he did not listen to the word of God. Jonas did not listen to the word of God. That's why people threw him into the deep sea. I think everyone understood, right? And of course it looks old or it looks very childish, but there are basically the first two chapters of the book of Jonas. And today we enter chapter 3 and it is that it does not come out when the whale or the big fish releases him for the Lord to give him a second chance. And today's topic is second chance. How many of us have had second chances? Thank God for His mercy. And those second chances. And although with the hands, with the smile, with the giant fish in the Dominican class. Many times some of us who grew up in our countries with this song. We no longer see it as children. But it is still the story of God. The story that still conquers our hearts. They are the man who fled from God. The one who paid a ticket to go in the opposite direction. Do you remember? The one who ended up three days in the stomach of a fish. Praying for his life. I do not know you, but I would never want to see myself inside a fish that way.
That man is standing now on the beach. Soaked. And although this word sounds very harsh. But I have to tell you because it is what comes out in the Bible. Vomited. And in general, the one who has experienced that is not something that feels nice. The first thing God does is not resent him, talk about what happened at that uncomfortable moment. To leave within a fish of three days, three nights there. It does not feel very comfortable. Maybe the physical. And in that process, there is not a six-month restoration process. There is no counseling before the reassignment. In verses 1 and 2, the word of the Lord came for the second time. To Jonah, get up, go to Nineveh, the great city. And proclaim in it the message that I will tell you. For the second time, God repeats the same order that Jonah disobeyed before. He disobeyed once and did not change the plan. He does not look for another prophet. It is not worth continuing to work with the same person. He already failed me. His call is already buried. No. He returns to the same man with the same mission. And today I want us to do ... something different with this chapter, I don't just want us to see what happened, I want us to feel and feel what they felt, what Jonas felt and maybe what Ninive felt along this journey. I want us to enter Jonas' skin, his bones, walking to the city he hated the most in the world. I want us to enter Ninive's skin, his walls, listening to a foreigner's death sentence. See both sides, see the two extremes of the matter.
So we're all going to see ourselves reflected in one of the two, and that's fine because the word is alive and what? Effective, sharp, it reaches the bones, it transforms the heart and if it doesn't bother you, then maybe it's not doing its effect. Look what it says here, the context that almost no one preaches, and I want you to work it with me because Jonas hated this mission, and when I say the word hate, I don't say it in a very soft way, it's to hate a mission that was given to his heart. So before we continue, we need to understand something that the text says, which is that we sometimes don't take into account, 26 centuries later, we sometimes forget that Ninive wasn't just any city. It was the capital of the most feared empire in the entire ancient world. It was a place where you didn't want to go, nor did I. Archeologists or archeology have left us the records of the Assyrians themselves. The Assyrians, the records are there, they give themselves, their own propaganda carved on the walls of their palaces. Historians agree, Assyria was one of the most cruel nations in the ancient world. More cruel in the treatment they gave to their own captives. They didn't treat them with dignity. That's not an exaggeration of a preacher to try to captivate your heart. No, no, it's in the museums, in the British Museum, it has original reliefs of Ninive, where you see an Assyrian king blinding a captive while he holds him, taking his eyes off him with a hook. And he says, why? With hooks still on his own lips. And I'm taking a little image here, uncomfortable, but it's necessary. Other captive kings wait for the same fate with hooks on their noses, like animals, tearing their own lives, their bones, whatever they were. Why do I tell you this? Because when Jonah receives the order to go preach to Ninive, even though maybe you and I heard it as a child, and it sounds nice, and it stayed until the fish, the disobedience, and the song ends there.
No, this goes on. Because it's not like for me to go preach to my neighbor in the corner. It's like if they told me, go preach repentance to the poster that hurt my family. Are you with me? The one that hurt my children, my daughter. And now chapter 1 makes sense. Jonah didn't run away because he was lazy to travel. He was a prophet. He ran away because deep in his heart, listen carefully, he didn't want Ninive to have the opportunity to repent. And it seems that it makes sense sometimes in our mind and our heart when we do it with others. Especially the one who has done harm. And I'm not saying that Damas said a gossip about you. It's real harm. Complete. That flooded your soul and your being. And made you the person you are today sometimes. Some of the others. One that other person. Jonah didn't have a problem of obedience, I would say all the time, even though it seemed that he did. He had a problem of compassion for those that generally or really were enemies. Is there someone, a person, a group, a category of people that you, in secret, don't want God to forgive? Think for a moment. Maybe you're not there today, maybe you are. Maybe you've been there. Maybe you wouldn't say it out loud, but inside,
if that person repented today, your first reaction would be joy. Look, the feet of Christ came. He did harm to me, but now he's with Christ. Oh courage, you do not deserve mercy for all that you have done to me This is the first question that Jonah is about to answer with his own life And it is the question that this chapter is going to ask us today What Jonah felt walking towards Nineveh, I'm going to point 2 Because I'm taking you to what you are feeling Look at what verse 3 says When Jonah got up and went to Nineveh according to the word of the Lord Nineveh was a very large city of a journey of three days Three days of road? Archaeologists have measured the walls of Nineveh Real More than 11 kilometers of perimeter So according to several historians It could have been the largest city in the world at that time And here I want to make a pause Do you know that voice of the GPS that is there when you get lost? Or not? I'm the only one That one believes sometimes that you know a lot, right? And you put it, right? Until you get lost and your wife tells you Look around here, don't tell me it's over there I know where I'm going And the second and third time you put your foot and say No, I don't need the GPS, you were right But the GPS works and many times it tells you Recalculating route, right? Recalculating without drama Without false sermon
Just recalculate and it returns you to the correct direction It gives you the instruction This is how God was with Jonah in verse 1 There is no sermon that says, I told you Before the second order, God simply recalculates Here you go there, he gives him the route again And that catches my attention But now imagine Jonah walking That route recalculated by the Lord Taking him to his north, to his call A single foreign man Without an army, without an escort Entering through the doors of the empire That saw him as an enemy And the most fearsome empire of that time Hey! And Jonah walks a whole day Inside that city with his heart beating fast Hoping to be recognized as an Israelite And I would say, maybe they kill him right there If they don't take him captive And in the midst of that fear, he releases the message Eight words in the original Hebrew It is reduced a little when I say it in Spanish But eight words, look at what it says Then Jonah began to walk the city On the road of a day and proclaimed In forty days Nineveh will be destroyed The one who visits us today will say Hey, I didn't come to talk about judgment, right?
I think God wants to speak something to the heart To each one of us in this place There is no introduction here There is no good afternoon, my name is Jonah God bless you Without offering an exit, right? Only the dry and direct sentence And here is what very few preachers say In a loud voice I don't think Jonah wanted them to repent I don't think so And it will be seen in chapter 4 in another way I think Jonah released the message Hoping to be ignored The enemy, the captives are there Maybe hanging These people are going to ignore him Maybe I'm wasting my time I hope they ignore him To be able to see the fire fall on them In forty days The time has come Look at everything that has happened Even a whale because of you Even a big fish But eight words achieved what no army could Bend the heart of the most violent city in the world Period Obedience In the feet, walking, resentment in the heart
And that is real many times Sometimes we preach, we serve, we pray for someone But inside we are waiting for the failure Of that person to feel justified For what he did to me Or for what he has done And that brings me to point 3 I go in line We give verse by verse What Ninive could have felt when listening We saw Jonah Pay attention to Jonah Now what are we going to do? with Nineveh, let's turn the cameras, camera, action. Let's put ourselves next to the people of Nineveh for a moment, imagine being a merchant, a negotiator, sweeping out of his little house, a mother is moving, a soldier of that city, growing up in an empire that was proud, this is my empire, was proud of his violence, and suddenly this strange man appears, who is not even from there, shouting in the streets that in 40 days the city will be what? Destroyed. What would you have felt? Let's be clear, because maybe you have heard others with parkatas preaching in the corners of the streets, and you would say, he's crazy, sometimes, right? Has it ever happened to you? I have made that mistake too,
I remember walking through Hollywood and there are some who are fine in Hollywood, when I lived in California, walking down those streets, there are always preachers in every corner, and some who say very sensible things, and others who say, that sounds very hard. And sometimes it passed through my mind, he's crazy. Why does he speak like that? What would you have felt seeing a man walking down the streets in that way, living there? I imagine the panic running from house to house. Or maybe some saying, he's crazy. And the answer, being even more terrifying, is that an army is not coming. A God is coming that they didn't even know. And here something happens that breaks all the religious patterns of the ancient world. It says, then, verse 5, the inhabitants of Nineveh believed in God and proclaimed to Juno, and they dressed in what? Of silicon from the eldest to the youngest of them. If that were easy in Dallas, how beautiful it would be, that one preaches this Sunday, look at me on the internet, repent, and next Sunday it's full. Everyone with silicon. But look, God working, a disobedient man at the moment, but God wanted to bring something special.
God knows the times. So when the Bible speaks of silicon, imagine a very rough and uncomfortable clothing that people put on to show that they were truly repentant and humiliated before God. So it's seen in the Bible many times, and there, in other words, it was their way of saying, God, I acknowledge my sin, or our sin, I leave my pride, and I desperately need your mercy. I need it. From the eldest to the youngest. All of them, all of them. This wasn't a meeting of religious leaders discussing theology. Let's discuss theology, let's see how it works. What is repentance? Instantly you have to do something here. That was an entire city. Merchants, soldiers, slaves, families stopping their lives at the same time for a message of eight words spoken by a foreigner that they themselves had seen as an enemy before. How many times were they enemies with Israel? And then, in verse 6, the news reaches the king! And instead of defending his throne,
instead of sending the prophet to be silenced and execute him for seduction or sedition, or proclaiming things that were not within his agreement, what is exactly what any king of Assyria would have done? These words say in verse 6, when the news reached the king of Nineveh, he rose from his throne, he took off his mantle, I wanted to bring a mantle today, but I didn't. He covered himself with silicone and sat on ashes. The most powerful man in the city, most feared in the world, sitting on ashes. And then comes the detail that always brings out laughter, at least to me, when I read it. I don't know about you, but to me this seems like a joke. The king orders a decree to be proclaimed, and look at what it says in verse 7 and 8. Neither man, nor animal, nor ox, nor sheep, try anything, no one. Do not let them graze or drink water. Cover yourself with silicone, men and animals. animals, and cry out to God with strength, and return, each one, from his evil way, and from the violence that is in you, in your hands. I don't know about you, but I imagine the cows of I did to this man, but I just started seeing instead what I had done to that man? And the animals??? Only to live without understanding what is happening.
The sheep, nothing was left out of the mourning. Not even the cattle. And the king closes with the most humble phrase of the whole chapter. I would say, if Jonas learned this reality from the beginning. He says, who knows, verse 9, my last verse, look. Who knows, maybe God will return, repent, and cast aside the burning of his wrath, and we shall not perish. Pay attention here. The king had no promise. Jonas never said to them, repent, and you shall be forgiven. He never said that. The message they heard was pure judgment without offering of mercy. The 8 words, nothing together. He was not connected to mercy with judgment. That's what he said. And even so, with only the possibility. Who knows. That word caught my attention, only 2 words. Who knows that God could have compassion for an entire pagan city. He threw himself headlong into repentance without knowing the result of that. Are you with me? And there, each word has its depth and its need to share. Who knows. Who knows. Nineveh ran towards mercy without guarantees. Jonas ran far from the mission with all the guarantees. God does not seek a symbol, he seeks a change. The heart. I want to talk for a moment about silicon. None of us came today dressed in rough fabrics.
No one came here covered in ashes, or someone came here covered in ashes, I don't see it. But that doesn't mean we don't have our own symbols many times. The problem was never the fabric. The problem is that when we use any spiritual symbol to get closer to God or to God, without allowing God to change our heart, that many times still happens today. Your silicon can be posting a video or a verse on social media every Sunday while at home you have not spoken to your wife for weeks. It can be appearance many times. A problem without speaking to your husband or your children. Our silicon can be going to the altar again and again, crying the same tears, and it's okay to come before the Lord, but to do the same prayer and return on Monday living exactly the same. Without a change of heart. Your silicon can be raising your hands during worship. How beautiful, isn't it? While a few meters away from you is a person you have not forgiven. And you decide to continue ignoring. But no, Lord, at least I'm fine in front of you, Lord. Your silicon can be a generous offering. Not because God transformed your heart, but because in a moment it can change our consciousness or calm it. The problem was never the symbol. The problem is using the symbol to avoid true repentance. I can speak beautifully, even religiously, to show myself mature, but with a heart not surrendered in front of the Lord. I remember one of the devotional there in Mexico one morning, and I have spoken to him several times here, it was, how is our soul? That would be one of the most important questions. Porque lo externo es pura apariencia, el alma y el corazón es lo que hace la diferencia. Mi alma te alaba, Señor. Mi alma te bendice. Mi alma te busca. Mi alma, oh alma mía, que alaba a Jehová. Y por ahí hay muchos versículos del alma y yo hablaba con el grupo y hablábamos directamente. Esa fue una mañana poderosa de administración con también el Pastor Ángel entre todos nosotros.
Porque muchas veces hacemos ministerio, trabajamos, mostramos muchas cosas externas, pero nuestro corazón puede estar alejado del corazón de Dios. Y es aquí donde Jonás nos sorprende. Porque el Rey de Nínive sí usó un símbolo verdadero. Se vistió de silicio. Se sentó sobre ceniza. Toda la ciudad ayunó. Todo eso fue real. Pero cuando llegamos al versículo 10, el narrador nos dice algo muy interesante y diría yo muy poderoso. Miren esta atención a esto. No dice, y Dios vio el silicio. No dice, Dios vio el ayuno. No dice, Dios vio las cenizas. Escucha lo que dice, versículo 10, mi último versículo. Cuando Dios vio sus acciones que se habían apartado de su mal camino. Dios vio algo más profundo. Vio que dejaron el camino por lo que antes caminaba. Una nación que ante los ojos humanos no merecía misericordia. Vio el arrepentimiento, salió del corazón y terminó cambiando la manera de vivir. Hasta los animales. Es como decir hay algo en tu casa que quizás deba cambiar e inclusive quizás hay cosas que hay que quitar. Yo recuerdo aquí, y lo voy a decir sin pedir permiso y disculpe. Yo creo que ya lo hemos dicho tantas veces que no hay ningún problema con eso. Raúl, alguien que admiro que yo le decía esta mañana y este viaje a alguno de los líderes. En seis años Raúl ha sido tan fiel en la hospitalidad. Yo no recuerdo ni una sola vez que haya faltado. Yo he faltado tantas veces a un servicio los domingos. Yo, ni una sola vez. Y me impacta obviamente su entrega y su fidelidad. Pero algo que me impacta más que eso es escuchar su historia. Que cuando vino a los pies de Cristo, él tenía muchos ídolos en su hogar. Muchas cosas en su hogar de su vida, vida pasada. Y llegó a su casa un día y tiró todo a la basura. Rompió todo, no se lo regaló a alguien más. Porque hay veces dicen yo esto ya es mi ídolo.
Mira, te lo regalo a ti. ¿Para qué? Si te hace daño a ti, te hace daño a la otra persona. Es que tiene un valor, no, no, no, no. Si te hace, hay que destruirlo. Y me llegó mucho al corazón. Cuando es un arrepentimiento genuino, es un cambio de ciento ¿qué? 80 grados. Vas en esta dirección, ahora va aquí. Muchas veces ir aquí implica sacar cosas en tu vida. Que aunque tu corazón está arraigado, hay raíces ahí. Tú dices no más, esto completamente se va. Y créeme, hay maldiciones generacionales que hay que romper. Hay cosas de nuestro pasado, de nuestro papá, mamá, nuestro abuelo, tatarabuelo, cosas del pasado. Dice yo no voy a repetir el mismo patrón con mi familia. Cuando yo llego a Cristo, yo soy libre, mi familia es libre. Yo rompo con todas las herraduras del nombre poderoso ¿qué? De Jesús. Y ese fue el verdadero milagro de Nínive. No fue que todos se vistieran igual, fue que todos comenzaron a caminar diferente. Porque el silicio nunca fue la meta. Era simplemente la evidencia visible de un corazón que estaba cambiado. Y déjame preguntarte algo. No hay que estar sentado junto a ti. ¿Cuál es tu símbolo? ¿Qué cosa haces para sentirte bien espiritualmente? Mientras hay un área de tu vida que Dios sigue señalando y tú sigues evitando. Porque podemos cantar, podemos servir, podemos diezmar,
podemos ofrendar, podemos hacer tantas cosas, ayudar al prójimo, hacer muchas cosas que podemos hacer. Podemos venir todos los domingos y aún así seguir caminando por el mismo camino de siempre. Y todavía no ser como Asiria, porque nadie aquí, yo veo que yo sepa, es temible o tan temible como Asiria o Nínive de ese tiempo. Pero cuando Dios mira una vida, Él no busca una vida. He looks for a ritual first, he looks for a direction, he looks for a heart that decided to return to Him. God has never looked for a show of repentance, He has always looked for a change of direction. And that was exactly what Ninive found. Not a perfectly religious city, but a city that decided to leave behind its old path and begin to walk towards God. There God creates revival. Revival can sometimes be visualized as a lot of jumps and a lot of emotion. And a long time ago I saw a better and clearer definition. Genuine revival is when there is a completely repentant generation. If we run away from our bad paths and repent before God, God will heal our land. And here God does something that breaks all the theology that Jonas thought to have dominated. God himself repents. How? Not in the sense that God sinned, but in the sense that God changes His course of action in response to the genuine repentance of the people. And this can blow our minds. The same God who announced destruction is the one who retains that destruction when he sees a real heart, not a performance. God does not get impressed with the ashes. He moves with the heart that returns. And my last point is this. The prophet who did not want to go and the Savior who did want to go. Who is your Savior? Jesus. I want to take you to something that Jesus himself said.
When I read it, I said, wow, sir, I have read this so many times, but look, look, look, look. It's like the Bible can speak to you even if you have read it many times, many times. Jesus himself said about this chapter centuries later, standing before the people of his own generation. Look at what he says, religious, those who followed him, those who hated him. He says, the men of Nineveh, he says these words in Matthew chapter 12, verse 41. The men of Nineveh will rise with this generation in judgment and condemn her. Because they repented with the preaching of whom? Of Jonah. And look, something bigger than Jonah is here. And who was that? Himself. He mentions Jonah, Jesus, in front of a crowd that was rejecting his teachings. There is something bigger than Jonah. And he says, he is here. Think about the contrast. Jonah was a prophet who did not want to go. Who preached with resentment. The eight words, repent. Who preached with resentment, who deep down hoped that Nineveh would be lost. And yet, an entire city turned to whom? To God. Now think about Jesus. Jesus did not come to us with resentment. He left the throne. Because in such a way, God loved the world. Who did he give it to? To his only son, so that all who believe in him would not be lost, but have what? Jesus did not come to us with resentment. Jesus did not come hoping that we would fail. Jesus came wanting to come.
He surrendered. That is why the Bible says, They did not drag him to the mission. Go, go, go. There was no need to drag him. He chose it himself. Jonah spent three days in the belly of a fish. And he went out to preach judgment with his mouth twisted by anger. Jesus spent three days in the belly of the earth. Dead, buried. And he went out defeating death. To preach not judgment, but grace. Grace for your life. Grace for your heart. No matter what you have done in this life. God always opens to you with open arms. A Savior who died for us while we were still enemies. His enemies. Enemies of God. And that is the Gospel. The Hidden Gospel behind John chapter 3 If the partial and accidental mercy of an angry prophet was enough to move a whole violent city to repentance Imagine, the total and intentional mercy of Christ on the cross is more than enough to move you today To move me today Give him a big hand if you are going to give it to him What we just lived And I don't want you to be alone in the old history This week, as I said, a group of us were in Sao Paulo, San Vicente, Mezcales, Nayarit, Mexico, Puerto Vallarta We were sending messages to people we didn't know Entering different houses that weren't ours
With a message that maybe not everyone wanted to hear Because maybe the wife was listening to her children And the husband was like no, no, no And I remember one time that one of us was inside and the group was praying among each other And the man on the corner was like I don't want to know about these people This is Hallelujah I don't know what he was thinking in his heart but his face said what it said, period And in the end he ended up crying He ended up surrendering That's what the Lord does when we move in obedience When we don't know how people are going to react but we do know that God is going to touch That God is touching the door of the hearts And just like it happened in Nineveh 26 centuries ago We see it happen today In people who didn't have to open the doors for us and they did In your work, with your neighbors Even with those you consider enemies And if that's your Nineveh As we talked about 2 or 3 weeks ago I've seen God moving in this place I've seen last Sunday, we were all sitting and standing and jumping While on a TV we sat down after a service to see another service Which one was it? 121 live and in all colors And to see Bruno sharing And for a moment I go up here, Erika I see Johnny, then I see Anthony sharing the word of God They are the Onases that God has used this century Like me Another Onas Who has wanted to live his own way
But God's GPS always takes us to the north To the direction of God And how beautiful to see what God is doing in the midst of us This passage Leaves us standing in front of two mirrors The first mirror is Onas Remember the question Or what we've done from the beginning If that person repented today Your first reaction would be joy or courage The one who came at the feet of Christ And you say, it seems he doesn't deserve it And although I didn't want to get into this, I'm going to Because there are people who have been mistreated Abused There are families who have been very mistreated There are boys and girls here who have been very mistreated And thinking In an enemy Can be very difficult or painful And the reality is that this question Is a question that you and God have to work on It can't be easy to answer You really have to say, the Holy Spirit help to heal my heart To really embrace that enemy That person who seemed to not deserve forgiveness And the second mirror is Ninive Maybe you're the one who needs to turn around Ninive didn't wait for a second warning And there's a lot to learn from a city
To which Onas didn't want to go How many more warnings do you need? And I want to say something very carefully This chapter is not about Winning God's forgiveness With sufficient silence Fasting Or visible suffering It's about a heart That genuinely Turns to God Genuinely surrenders You don't need a perfect performance You need to stop walking In the direction you already know Is wrong And start walking in it The And La semana no antes como tres semanas and made tercero tres me about to say another Iglesia Pero no yo como le explico yo no sentí el El espíritu de dios cuando me bauticé Porque todavía se hace no lo mismo Todavía no había hecho el cien ochenta Tomo mucho mucho en mi por meses de que yo puede hacerlo solo y Yo iba a otra Iglesia y en esa Iglesia había un señor que se llamaba Sergio
Cada vez que yo lo veía él Es como que unas luces le decía me decía ve a hablar con él que él te va a ayudar Y yo decía no no no yo lo puedo solo hola hermano como está yo no le decía nada y luego Como dios trabaja el me invitó a ir a jueves a su casa para Juntarnos en un small group Y en ese tiempo cuando llegué ahí sentí que algo se estaba moviendo en esa casa Y cuando se acabó el tiempo de orar a dios Me senté en el mueble y hablamos y yo y él le hablé y le dije todo y un hermano que se llama Saul El oro por mí y en ese tiempo yo sentí el espíritu de dios mis manos Caliente caliente y Nos no sé cómo explicarlo, pero yo sentía a dios ahí en ese tiempo El otro día me levanté Destruí todo tiré mis pipas tiré todo y le dije a mi esposa Agarramos la mano y oramos que ya hubiera salido esto de mi vida porque yo ya no lo necesito Pero esta vez yo lo estaba haciendo por mí Y Cuando tú te arrepientes y dices esto lo que estoy haciendo mal Tiene que cambiar porque la vida Bala eso va a la muerte Y Eso es lo que yo tuve que pasar para aprender Que dios es la única manera que tienes que vivir él es la única Respuesta de todo lo que tú tienes Y desde eso mi vida ha cambiado completamente este Yo camino con él todos los días me despierto Oro a dios Escuchamos ya música cristiana ya no escuchamos nada de lo del mundo
Seguimos en la manera de dios que lo que nos dice las decisiones que nos dice Porque no hay otra manera Gracias Wow. Gracias. Gracias, hermano. Gracias. Gracias. Gracias. Gracias. Gracias. Gracias. Gracias. Gracias. Gracias. Gracias. Gracias. Gracias. Gracias. Gracias. Gracias. Gracias. Gracias. Gracias. Gracias. Gracias. Gracias. Gracias. Gracias. Gracias.
Gracias. Gracias. Gracias. Gracias. Gracias. Gracias. Let it bring health, let it bring salvation, only in the name of Christ. And we sing. With Him, and He will reign. Who was, who is, and who will come. Sentado en el trono del Santo, Santo, Santo. Diciéndolo justo, se entregó. Cuán grande amor nos emocionó. Exaltado en maldita, Santo, Santo. Con Él, un crío reinará. Quien fue, quien es, y quien vendrá. Sentado en el trono del Santo, Santo. Diciéndolo justo, se entregó. Cuán grande amor nos emocionó. Exaltado en maldita. Y quien más es signo, quien más es signo. No hay nadie, solo tu Cristo. Y quien más es signo, quien más es signo. No hay nadie, solo tu Cristo. No hay nadie, solo tu Cristo. No hay nadie, solo tu Cristo. Y quien más es signo, quien más es signo. No hay nadie, solo tu Cristo. Y quien más es signo, quien más es signo. No hay nadie, solo tu Cristo.
Dile Señor, Tú eres digno. Señor, Tú eres digno, Dios amado. Eres digno, Señor. Eres digno, Señor amado. Eres digno, Señor. Eres digno. Eres digno, Dios amado. Eres digno. You are worthy. You are worthy, God. Eres digno, Dios. Significa que te lo mereces todo. Nuestra vida, Señor, aunque no tengamos nada, Señor, sigue siendo digno de nuestra adoración. Aunque lo pierda todo, Señor, eres digno de nuestra adoración. Señor, como dice el poema, no me mueve mi Dios para verte. No me mueve, Señor. Verte clavado hacia una cruz y encarnecido. Mueveme ver tu cuerpo tan herido, Señor. Mueveme tus afrentas y tu muerte. Mueveme el fin, tu amor, de tal manera que aunque no hubiera cielo, yo te amara. Y aunque no hubiera infierno, te temiera, Señor. No me tienes que dar porque te quiera, Dios. Pues si aunque lo que espero no esperara, lo mismo que te quiero, Dios, te quisiera. Eres digno de mi vida. Aunque no hubiese cielo, Señor, eres digno de mi vida. Tú eres el Creador, Señor. Señor, eres el Creador de todo. Gracias porque tu pueblo está en este lugar adorándote. Y quiero decir esto una vez más, no espere una segunda oportunidad.
Dios es su Dios de oportunidades, pero quiero decirlo. Habrá alguien en este lugar que hoy por primera vez dice, yo quiero abrir mi corazón al Señor. Por primera vez, habrá alguien en este lugar, yo quiero abrir mi corazón al Señor. Quiero decirle, si yo abro mi corazón, yo acepto al Señor como mi Salvador. Allá atrás. Denle un aplauso al Señor. Denle un aplauso al Señor. Alza las dos manos sin miedo, eso es. Alza las dos manos sin miedo. El cielo está de fiesta. El cielo está de fiesta. Vente por aquí, queremos orar por ti. Vente, vamos a orar por ti, Pastor Ramón, Marisol. Vamos a orar, vamos a orar por ti, mi hermano. Yo sé que Dios ha estado trabajando en tu corazón. Estamos de fiesta. Dile qué más es digno, qué más es digno. Díselo una vez más. Díselo una vez más. ¿Qué más es digno? ¿Qué más es digno? Luis, bienvenido a casa. Bienvenido a casa. Bienvenido a casa. Bienvenido a casa. Vente aquí al frente. Vamos a hacer una oración. No seguimos corriendo. Martín, qué bueno. Si puedes acercar ahí a Omar, te puedes acercar ahí.
I said, get this in your head, Marty. You're going to want to see him. For the Iglesia, extend out your hands like this, in front. And say, thank you, Lord. And pray for Martin from the bottom of your heart. And say, Lord, work in his life, in his heart. Work, Lord, in all his being. And say the prayer there of repentance in front of the Lord with Pastor Ramon. And the Iglesia now covers you. Pray, Lord, that he does not deviate, neither to the right nor to the left. That he may remain firm in front of you. From now on, he is a disciple of yours. He is part of the family of faith. We join thousands of people. Millions of people who have accepted, Lord, along with him, salvation. For grace, dear God. Because it is for grace. Grace for Martin's life. Continue to work in his life, with his family, in the mighty name of Jesus. In the mighty name of Jesus. Thank you, dear God. Thank you, dear God. And say, Lord, who else is worthy? God is worthy of Martin's life. God is worthy. God is worthy, Lord. God is worthy, Lord. Thank you, Jesus. Thank you, Jesus. Thank you, Jesus.
Thank you, Lord Jesus. Thank you, Lord Jesus. Thank you, Lord Jesus. God is good. God is faithful. And we are partying. Because a soul came at the feet of Christ. Sandra is happy. A family. Family, his brother-in-law, at the feet of Christ. What a blessing. And I know that God will bring more of those who have to be saved to his house. And they will come before him. Thank you, church, for being part of what God is doing in the midst of us. I thank God that Mexico is not playing today. Because if not, half of my church would run away. I know that now, when I leave this place, those who are fans are going to finish the game. Some may be looking at the score. I don't even know how much it is. There is no hurry. But yes, we are going to say goodbye to this time. Grateful to the Lord for one more life in front of his presence. And for those who don't know, on the second floor, on the big screen, you will see the hour, 11.30, of the game of Spain and Argentina. There are ribs, there are wings, there are sandwiches, there is soda. That is part of the service, right? To go together and celebrate whatever is going to happen. Go, if you like, if you have a plan, you can continue your afternoon plan. But we are going to continue our community service on the second floor. And I want to leave you with another last announcement and a final blessing.
And every Sunday, from now on, the worship will start at 2 o'clock. The prayer that we have had from 2 to 2.10 will start at 1.50. So if you want to be part of the prayer, come at 1.50 so that we are together in prayer, so that God prepares the heart. And if you want to be part of all the worship, come at 2, because we start at 2 on the dot, on the internet, here online, for the worship time. We have relaxed a little bit with the first 10 minutes in prayer, which is fine. But we are going to put it before 1.50. And at 2 in the afternoon we are going to start the service. So never miss the worship, because it is part of the whole time with the Lord. Make that also your priority. And on Wednesday we continue with our worship time. If you are not part of a group of life, also come to be part of a group of life. And join the family of faith. We will have more conversations later. We have a new, fresh season. I love it when new seasons start. Believe me, from August onwards we also have a season where God is going to move in a spectacular way. Now close your eyes for a moment. Lord, at this time, I bless your church, your congregation. It belongs to you, Lord. Not to me, not to any of us. To you, dear God. This is your church. Lord, help your church to walk on the path of repentance, on the path of salvation, and on the path of the fruit of salvation, Lord, throughout this week. Help us to forgive. Help us to see our neighbor with your eyes. Help us to share the gospel with so many people, Lord. We bless this time of departure. We bless the offerings, Lord. We bless, Lord, everything you have given us that belongs to you. Protect your church. Angels camping around each one of them. In the mighty name of Jesus, and the people of God say, Amen, Amen.
God bless you, God keep you, and greetings. Greetings to each other, blessings.
