Knowing Jesus through the gospels
Knowing Jesus through the gospels. Mark 1:1, 14-20 By Ysrael De la Cruz A while back when I preached about the gospel of Jesus Christ, I mentioned the need for us Christians to truly know the content of the gospel since we live in a time in which there are so many false gospels and…
Serving Jesus
Serving Jesus Colossians 3:22-24 By Ysrael De la Cruz When it comes to service, one of the things Jesus said was he did not come to be served but to serve. The Bible tells us in Philippians 2:7 that Jesus took the form or nature of a servant; he served people out of love. His…

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…
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…
Good News for All!
Good news for all Luke 2:8-20 By Ysrael De la Cruz If you were to ask people what comes to mind when they think about Christmas, you would hear things like “A time together with family and friends; lights and decorations; generosity and good will toward others; lots of food and goodies. “Christmas is the…
Favored by God!
