The Coming King!
The coming King Zachariah 9:9-10 By Ysrael De la Cruz Last week I preached about the crucial question, who is Jesus? Jesus’ identity has puzzled people for thousands of years. When he appeared on the scene the Jewish nation had been waiting for a Messiah, (a political ruler or king) who would bring peace and…
Same Foundation for a New Generation
Same foundation, new generation Judges 2:6-15 By Ysrael De la Cruz A foundation is the footing, base, or understructure of a building. It is the base upon a house or building is established. The taller the building, the deeper the foundation. A worldview is the platform upon which you stand to make sense of the…
Knowing the Heart of God
Knowing the heart of God Luke 15:1-7 By Ysrael De la Cruz In 2007 I attended a conference in Lincoln Christian University; the theme was “Leading your church to be a missionary community.” The idea behind is that the church live as a missionary in the community where it is located.

Unshakeable Peace
Unshakable peace John 16:33 By: Ysrael De la Cruz There is so much uncertainty and fear in the hearts of many due to what is going on in the world right now. Many are praying for peace in the world because of the chaos and trying times we have been living in the last three…
Trusting God even when it doesn’t make sense.
Trusting God even when it doesn’t make sense! Matthew 14:22-32 By Ysrael De la Cruz We are encouraged to trust God every time we read the Bible. The Bible is filled with stories encouraging us to trust God. We may profess to trust God, but our actions don’t reflect it. Why is trusting God so…

Help me overcome unbelief! Mark 9:14-29 By: Ysrael De la Cruz Anyone can claim to have faith when things go well; but it is difficult to display faith when things get out of control, when we experience trials and suffering. Your faith is evident during hard times, in the stormy moments of life, that is…
Tear down your idols
Tear down your idols 2 Kings 18:1-6 By: Ysrael De la Cruz Everyone worships something; if I take the definition of worship as to revere, respect or stand in awe of someone or something.

I Never Knew you!
I never knew you Matt.7:21-23 By: Ysrael De la Cruz You can be very religious and not know what it means to have a relationship with God. You could be attending church your whole life and still not know God. Not because you go to a church, where they talk about Jesus makes you into…
God’s love: Unconditional or conditional?
God’s love: unconditional or conditional? John 3:16 By: Ysrael De la Cruz One of the most discussed topics in the Bible is the love of God, but I believe it’s one of the most misunderstood topics when left to our own explanation. To understand God’s love, its nature, we must go to the Scriptures to…
Loving like Jesus
Loving like Jesus John 13:31-35 By Ysrael De la Cruz As followers of Jesus God has an expectation for us; it is his will that we be molded to the image of his Son (Jesus). Romans 8:29 God predestined us to be conformed to the image of his Son. What this means is that people…
