Cena del Señor PM - Pastor Abel Palma

Good afternoon, beloved CFC Church family

. What a blessing to be able to be

with you this afternoon, starting our

second service, our second

Sunday worship, a special Sunday, a

blessed Sunday, a Sunday filled

with the presence of the Lord. We

greet you here in the name of the Lord Jesus.

Hey, this is Barbara speaking, but we

also greet you on behalf of

our beloved pastors Abel Palma and

Verena Herrera, who lead and

guide us in this beautiful ministry. To

all of you who are already connecting

to this new broadcast, we extend a

warm welcome. that we may have

a time with you of praise,

of the word, of prayer, of worship,

that we may have a time as a family

worshipping our Heavenly Father. If

you are on your way, we would like to

advise you to hurry

, taking all

necessary precautions, especially if

you are coming by vehicle, but please make

the effort to arrive at

our ministry on time. Um, we had

a beautiful worship service this morning, a service

where there was also the Lord's Supper,

where our pastor was also

ministering again on the faith that

honors God. One faith, a faith that

honors Him, and the importance of honoring Him,

my pastor emphasized that in order to

honor Him in the way God deserves to be

honored, we need to have this new

nature. It depends on our new

nature. All of us who are

in Christ are new creations. The

old things have passed away, says the

scripture, and here all things have been made

new. And this new nature allows us to have

the right heart, the

right spirit to worship the Lord,

to honor the Lord, to obey the Lord and

His word, to be able to give love,

forgiveness, and embrace to those around us, and to have

that faith that can honor

our Heavenly Father. And why not train

here in this place? Of course we can

. I know that you and I are formed

in intimacy, in prayer, seeking

the Lord, learning from his word,

but we need community.

We need this community of faith.

We need the family of faith.

We need to be in a place where

we are broadened, where we can

also be taught the

word correctly. And here at CFC is a

beautiful house that the Lord has built with

this pillar of formation. and not

only training, unity,

love, excellence, honor, order,

all those pillars that sustain

our ministerial house. So you're going to

be welcome here. If

you do not currently have a congregation

and are looking for a home

and are praying to the Lord, we invite you to

come to our

ministry house and be in this place

and come and hear a word. I am

sure that the Lord will speak to your

life, will speak to your heart, just as He

has done to all our lives, and that you

may have a place to gather, a

place to take root, and a place to begin to

bear fruit. Amen. So this is a

special day, it's a beautiful day, sorry, it's

a special and beautiful day because it's

Father's Day. So if you have already

greeted your earthly father, we must

greet our heavenly father.

He is our good father, our

heavenly spiritual father, who gave us

his only son, to whom he gave everything for

us. Every day we embrace our

spiritual father. Every day we embrace in

love, in faith, in every

prayer, in every gratitude, in every

prayer. We give that hug to our

good father. We tell him that we love him and

honor his life, we honor, sorry, his

existence. We always honor our

God. And besides our

spiritual father, who is our eternal God,

our God who sustains, who

sustains us in existence, in life, we

also give thanks to him that he has

provided for us our

maternal parents. If you've already greeted yours, I've

left a little message for mine too.

Unfortunately, he's in another city,

but we'll be able to be

together there soon. We also give a

kiss to Dad and to our ministerial father,

our pastor Abel, a tremendous man of

God, whom God gave us as a good

pastor in this congregation. We also extend

this warm greeting to him, a

man of God who is upright and always seeks to

honor the Lord. And in that search, it

allows the whole church to walk on a

path of seeking holiness, of being

able to honor the Lord. So thanks be to

our Heavenly Father for

giving us a shepherd after His own heart.

Pastor Abel, we love you deeply,

deeply. He is a gift to

us, and we, his ministerial children, pray

every day that God will

add strength, wisdom, energy, and

many more years to him so that he may continue to

guide our beloved congregation.

Amen. Okay, we also have something

special to remember for this week.

Hey, remember that next week

we're having the Crecer congress, this

beautiful youth congress, as

our pastors have said on the

platform, it's not just for

young people as such, they organize it,

but the entire congregation is

invited to participate. It will be a

word from the Lord that will come to

encourage the church, to guide

the church, to give us that

direction every day so that we can continue.

So we invite you to

stay tuned this weekend as we

will be having this growing congress. Which

part?

Excuse me, what part is on this Friday the 26th and

Saturday the 27th?

Yes, if I'm not mistaken, on the date,

Friday the 26th, Saturday the 27th, we have the

Crecer congress there, which will have

the presence of Pastor Karen

Hidalgo, directly from Miami. It's going to

be a precious time, so we

invite you to be there and not miss it. The

reason we're having this congress this

weekend is that Thursday of this

week, instead of being

Holy Thursday, will be Holy Wednesday. We

want to remind you of this information

so that you don't make a mistake when you come,

because if you come on Thursday you

will find the church completely

closed, okay? So it's Wednesday,

Holy Wednesday at 7:30 p.m., the

usual time. There we will be

having our precious worship service of

praise and the word of the Lord. Okay, so

please remember those

instructions. We're also on

our platforms, broadcasting this

second service on YouTube and Facebook

so you can

share the link. Become a part of it, beloved

. Become part of the

evangelizing work. We can evangelize in

many ways, and this is also a

beautiful way to evangelize:

simply take the link, copy it,

and share it with someone

you know who needs to hear a

word from the Lord. Don't just share the link on its

own; instead, leave a

message, be intentional, and tell the

person who you are going to share this

link with. There is a word from the Lord for your

life. There is a word from God

for you today that will strengthen you, guide you,

and also bring light to

the decisions and steps you are

taking. So please tell us where

you might be tuning in from so we can say

hello and

be there with you. We already

have blessings here, my dear

brothers from Venezuela. God

bless you always. Beloved Sirira,

welcome beloved. Thank you for being there.

Boris Toledo is also on his way. My

husband and my children dropped me off

and are now on their way to

our ministry house, so

if you are on your way, you can come

today with a beautiful disposition to worship

the Lord. We also have the Lord's Supper

in this second service. Let us come

prepared so that we may have this time

of the Lord's Supper, so that we may

have this time of communion. When

we take dinner, we take dinner to

remember communion, this new covenant

that we, you and I, are in.

So we invite you to have that

disposition to partake of the Lord's Supper

, the disposition to worship

our God, to bless His name,

to exalt Him, and the disposition also

to be able to listen to the counsel of the

Lord. And we are going out in the hall, so we

want to invite all of you,

beloved brothers and sisters who are

here in the hall, to stand up

and begin this time

of praise and worship, standing up,

applauding the Lord,

raising shouts of joy, so that

the church of Christ that has

come to worship our

Heavenly Father may be heard loud and clear. In the name of Jesus

we begin. Amen.

Amen. Amen. Thank you, Barbara. Where

is the joyful church of the Lord that

came to praise the Lord with all its

strength? If you're going to applaud Jesus,

please do it with all your might.

And where is that choir ready? Here

and the musicians.

Let us praise the Lord with all

our hearts. Oh, the dancers

too.

That.

Thank you, God.

Here. Let's

see, who can say a loud "

Glory to God"? I will always praise

God,

and never went to see them again.

and He gave me

and delivered me from all my fears.

Those who looked upon him were enlightened

and will never be again.

Come on, say it with me. The angel of the Lord

encamps around those who fear him

and defends him

before the Lord,

around those who do

not defend him. The

Lord

encamps around those who fear him

and defends them.

It's applause for the King of Kings.

That's how it is.

This afternoon, how many have come with

a grateful heart,

with an attitude of thanksgiving

before the Lord? I am going to read you a

portion of the scripture found

in Psalm 100, verses 4 and 5. It says: "Enter

his gates with thanksgiving."

That's why I asked them, "How many

grateful hearts are there this

morning?"

It says so. Enter his gates with

thanksgiving, and his courts with

praise.

Praise him and bless his name, for the

Lord is good; his

mercy and his truth endure forever to all

generations. We

have decided

on this day, this afternoon, to come before

His courts in thanksgiving, as

His word says, with a

grateful heart. We

have decided to set aside this time to

give thanks for

all that we have, all that we are in

His presence.

Thank you,

God. I

will worship you

with my heart. I

wake up in your presence.

Desert in you, my God, for you have been

good.

for your mercy.

Don't forget the blessings

bestowed upon you for being a child.

Don't forget the The Lord's faithfulness.

Don't think that God isn't there with

you. Don't believe that God has

forgotten you. Don't think for a

moment that you are alone. Because the Lord

said, "I will not leave you an orphan." I

will send another comforter. He will guide you.

He will strengthen you.

He will reveal my word to you. He will

testify about me.

Don't think for a moment that

God has forgotten you,

because His mercy continues to

extend over your life. Every time

you open your eyes, every time you contemplate

the day, every time you have bread on your

table, every time you have a blanket to

keep you warm, you can see the faithfulness of the

Lord when you stand on your feet,

when you open your eyes, when you stretch out

your hands, there is the faithfulness of the

Lord.

Alleluia.

Thank you, Lord.

Thank you, Father, for your presence.

We pray, Lord, that you will strengthen my

husband. I declare health. I declare

healing over him, healing over his

body in the name of Jesus. May their

thoughts, may their mind, Lord, be

clear and focused, and may their ears be attentive to

hear your voice, Lord. May every word that

comes out of your mouth be an anointed word, a

word with power from on high, and may it

come, Lord, to generate the effect, the

revelation, the understanding that

we need, Lord, through the

message. Speak to us, Lord, speak to our

lives, speak to our spirits,

and through the word, Lord, the

veils may fall away. Through the word,

Lord, let us have greater faith, because your

word says that faith comes by hearing,

hearing the word, Father. Greater faith, a

greater measure of faith in us to

believe in the impossible, to believe that you

can still do it, to believe that you

can still part waters in the

desert, to believe that still, Lord,

the lame can walk, the blind

can see,

to believe that you can still perform

miracles, Lord.

Thank you, Jesus.

Thank you, Father. We

honor

and exalt you at this hour

and thank you for your faithfulness, Lord,

in the mighty name of Jesus.

Amen

and amen. Thank you.

Alleluia.

Thank you, Lord.

Thank you.

Oh, thank you, Father.

There is a beautiful presence of the Lord.

Thank you, Holy Spirit.

Thank you, Father.

Thank you for being here.

Thank you for bringing us, Lord, to this

place,

because you brought us here, Lord.

Thank you.

Thank you, Father. What if you give

someone a hug? A hug, a hug

to whoever you have there by your side.

Greetings.

Welcome to the house of the

Lord.

If you've come for the first time,

welcome.

If you've come for the second time,

welcome.

Prepare your heart. There is a word from the

Lord for you.

We thank the Lord for this time,

beloved.

And

I don't know if this is the right environment for

announcements.

Mr. Preacher, please come forward.

Later I can go up to present the video

of the announcements, but there is a presence

of the Lord.

Amen.

Amen. Let's give a big round of applause to the

Lord.

Come on, let's celebrate greatness,

faithfulness. He is good, he is faithful, he

is great,

he is beautiful. He is in the middle of his

town.

Alleluia.

Thank you, Lord. I said to the lady, "Do

you want to preach?" No problem.

Look, the Lord is using

my wife in a very beautiful way. I feel very

happy, very proud of everything

the Lord is doing with her. So I

told him, "Stay, no problem, I'll sit down

, I'll take care of it." So, how

beautiful it is how the Lord is doing her.

And my pastor once told me, "We shouldn't

pray to be used, we should pray that

when we are used we don't lose

focus."

And it's true, never lose focus.

Ultimately, the Lord will always extend his

hand over us, but we

must remain in the Lord's hands

. Very good. Are they happy? Amen.

Seriously, really.

Okay, raise your hand if you're

sad. Well,

that phrase is for my next birthday,

please.

So let's sing "No," have a

good one. Uh, we give thanks to the Lord for

this time. If you'd like, please take a seat for

a minute. Thank you, Lord, for

this time. My

wife, some siblings, and I arrived a few

days ago from the United States

. Ah, in such a beautiful time that

we were able to live, we greatly enjoyed

everything that the Lord did. And well, ah,

also missing each and every one of

you, you are a beautiful family in

faith and even though one is in a move

of the Lord, one always misses home, there is no place

like home. When you know, it's

like when you arrive in Chile; you say,

"How wonderful it is to arrive in your country, to arrive in the

place where you feel at home, where you're with

your family, your bed, your bathroom, your kitchen,

your brothers and sisters—all of that is so special."

I want to leave you with these

announcements because after this, the movement of

God won't be able to stop. So, I'd

like you to pay

attention to some announcements that are

prepared for this day.

CFC Family, we have very

important announcements, so stay tuned

because you can't miss these dates

. Yes, because we also have

activities for youth, for

married couples, for the entire church, and we

also have a

special gathering.

So take note, mark your calendars, and

get ready to be part of everything that's

coming.

And we're starting with our

youth conference, "Growing Up," on June 26th and 27th

, with Pastor Karen Hidalgo.

That's right. And it will be two days where we'll

have a beautiful time of worship,

a powerful message from the Lord, and

we'll also have workshops, so don't

forget to register! It will be a time

to share with other young people.

So, whether you're young or not so young,

this conference is for you. Don't come

alone; invite someone.

And for all married couples, we have a

very special date: Saturday, July 25th, a

marriage seminar.

It will be a time to learn, share,

and strengthen God's design for

marriage.

So, married couples, mark your calendars and pay

attention to all the instructions

that will be given to you. And get ready

because our annual mixed-gender gathering is coming up

! It

will be on October 2nd, 3rd, and 4th, and

registration will be through the QR code.

In addition, we will have payment machines at the entrance of

our church every day there are

services so

you can use credit or

debit cards, or even set up a

payment plan so you don't miss the gathering.

The most important thing is not to leave it

until the last minute. Register and be

part of this powerful gathering.

So, CFC family, you know

we have many important dates

ahead, and now remember to keep your

cell phone on silent. Also, our

brothers suggest... They maintain order in

our hall. Let's honor them with our

attitude and not lose in the

parking lots what we've earned here in the

hall.

Now prepare your heart for what

God wants to speak to your life.

Very good.

What did you think of our new

hires? Good, right?

The announcements were well done. Well, you already know

all the things that have been said,

each one of them very important. I don't know

if it was mentioned because I didn't notice, but we do

n't have a meeting on Thursday, but rather

on Wednesday. So this Wednesday

we have a "Wednesday of Glory" this

week because of everything we're going to

experience this tremendous weekend. Very

well, let's stand up and go to the

word of the Lord, the book of Luke,

chapter 17. There we have the

blessed word of the Lord. Luke, chapter 17.

This is message number 250

of the Foundations of Honor. 250. Quite a few

, aren't they? Foundations of

Honor. And we're talking about

faith to honor our God.

There is the Subtitle. Luke 17 verse 5. This is what

the blessed word of the Lord says.

The apostles said to the Lord, “

Increase our

faith.” Then the Lord said, “If

you had faith like a mustard seed, you

could say to this psyllium, ‘Be

uprooted and planted in the sea,’ and it would

obey you.”

And you and I have been preaching this these past few

days. Do

trees have ears? Do trees

know where

the sea is? Do trees understand?

Or is faith in the Lord so powerful

that it can make things that

have no ears obey,

that things without GPS know

where the sea is? Can a tree be

uprooted and planted in the sea?

Of course it can. Faith can do things

that even the mind cannot

comprehend. And if a tree can

obey, then everything submits to our God.

Please take a seat, beloved.

Very well. We have begun

today to lay some groundwork regarding

this topic. We have Said through the concept of

honor, because the underlying theme, the

foundation, is always honor. And we were saying that

honoring is quite a challenge, because everything in

Scripture is, first of all,

impossible for a natural mind.

But it is a challenge for a

spiritual mind. That is, on one hand, there are

natural people who cannot perceive

spiritual things. But for a

spiritual mind, where we, the

children of the Lord, reside, it is a challenge. Honor

is a challenge, and one can make many

excuses in some cases for not honoring,

but it has a lot to do with understanding

what is asked of us. When the Bible

establishes, for example, honoring father and

mother, I know that this is a challenge for

many people who experienced

difficulties in their childhood—

violence, abandonment, rejection, and so

many other things that unfortunately

affect a child's life at times,

and ultimately, that child grows up

rejecting their

parents. But we have established that the

Lord's demand is supported by the

Lord's transformation of the believer's life

. God would not ask you for something that, in

your new nature, you could not do. Of

course, if I speak to someone

in the world who doesn't have Christ, someone who

honors their parents, they will immediately

put up all sorts of resistance, because

a natural mind couldn't obey a

law of the Spirit. However, a

spiritual mind now in Christ—all of us

who are here in Christ—can do

everything that the Word of the Lord

establishes and demands for

our lives. And that includes even loving those

who didn't love us, even

helping those we didn't

help, forgiving those who

naturally seem undeserving of

forgiveness.

That's a challenge for the mind. That's why

when the Lord speaks of loving our

enemies, even that's for a

natural mind. How can we, if we

ourselves find it difficult to love people who

do us good? There are people we do

good to, and yet it's still hard to love them. How much more so

someone who does us harm? That's madness

for a natural mind. That's why the entire

design of Scripture is oriented toward

the children of God, because it is the children

of God who, in the new nature,

can do things that otherwise couldn't be

done. Honoring, then, is a

challenge, and all that... That which does not spring from

honor has no place in the Lord, because

the atmosphere of God is honor.

Pay attention to this. We—I was saying this

morning, Mauricio—that, for example, one

cannot say one loves without honoring, one

cannot say one serves without honoring.

Everything must bear the mark of

honor, even in worship.

We cannot worship if we do not have

standards of honor. And I was just saying this

morning that there are those who sometimes

worship worship itself.

Hmm. There are worshippers of worship more

than of God. That is, they love to sing, they

have never worshipped God, but they are

worshippers of worship. And there are others

who cross the line and are worshippers of

worshippers.

That is, they make an idol of a person who sings

when they are simply an

instrument, and they raise up golden calves.

That is not right. We are all just

men,

although no one here says amen, but we

are all just men.

We must learn to worship

God. And there are men who were

inspired by the Lord at some

point. Glory to God. Men who... They

guided us, men who helped us.

Glory to God. And we must pray and

thank the Lord for all those

people who helped us at some point

. But we must worship God with

our lives, with music and more music.

Worship isn't four notes on a

piano or a guitar. Worship is

a life of honor and obedience to the Lord.

Very good. So, the challenge is

learning to honor. When it comes to

fatherhood, it's a complex matter, we already

delved into it this morning, but

we were also talking about how the nature

we are in, the nature

of Christ, allows us to be

those people God

expects us to be, doing what He

asks us to do. We can, by nature,

give what God asks because He

imparted His own nature to us so

that we can do it. This

morning we talked about

fatherhood and many other things, but

I want to focus right now on the

passage we just read. Faith. Say it

with me, faith.

Faith. The truth is that faith isn't

just about asking, and sometimes we

have reduced for that purpose, but

we have said that faith is for living,

faith is for offering, faith is for

walking, faith is for going forth, faith is

for pleasing the Lord.

And Hebrews chapter 12, verse 2,

says, "Do not conform to the pattern of this world." Do not

conform to what,

but what, be

transformed

by what?

Say with me, renewal.

Renewal

of your mind.

For what purpose?

So, on Thursday we talked about

revelation, about

renewal, and about

transformation.

Revelation is the starting point. That

is, the Lord, through Scripture,

both in the Old Testament and in

the New Testament, reveals Himself, reveals

His will, reveals His purpose,

reveals His nature.

The Lord Jesus Christ, even in the New

Testament, continues to reveal the Father and

His love to us. It's kind of hot, isn't it?

It is, I don't know if you could turn the air conditioning down a little

. Thank you. So, and that way

we save money.

So, He reveals, He

reveals Himself. But, please,

why does He reveal Himself? He reveals so that

we can to be renewed.

Revelation

generates an understanding for

renewal. That is, it's not just that

the Lord shows who He is, shows His

authority, His love, His power, His

will. He reveals Himself.

Why? So that understanding,

so that understanding may now be

opened. What I didn't understand before,

why did the Lord say to Martha, "

Martha, Martha, I am the resurrection and

the life"? Why does He reveal Himself? So that

Martha's understanding may be renewed. Amen.

So, there is a revelation of the Lord

in both the Old Testament and the

New Testament, with greater clarity, of

course. And now all this revelation

through what He did, through what He

said, through where He went,

through His love, His mercy,

the words He expressed, what they

try to bring is a revelation that

generates a transformation in

their minds so that their understanding may now

be transformed. So, revelation

generates renewal, renewal generates

transformation.

That's kind of the line, you see? So,

every time you read the

word, Ask yourself, what does God want me to

renew in my life? What needs to

be renewed? You heard it was said,

but I tell you, every word, every

parable, every teaching of the Lord

attempts to generate a change in

people's understanding so that

now, in obedience, we see and experience the

transformation. That

said, then, in the case of the

disciples, thinking about this passage,

how can they receive this? Look,

please, first thing, the request.

Say it with me, request.

Request.

The first thing there was, a request from

them. What was the request?

Increase it in us

, Lord, increase our faith. Now,

we have already taught during the

previous sermons that

the request may be out of place

because the Lord is focusing not on the increase,

right? but on the use. That is, the

correct request is, Lord, teach us to use

our faith. Teach us the potential of

faith. Teach us, I don't know, the

dimensions of faith. But they believe

that what What they need is an additional measure of

faith beyond what they already possess, which is why

the Lord focuses their attention on them. But that's

basically because they don't

fully understand. And how good it is that they asked for it, and

how good the Lord's response was, because we

learn our lessons from it.

Now, the question is—please notice this

.

The issue is that they ask for an increase in

faith. Why? What leads them to

believe they need faith? So, yesterday and

last night I was analyzing the

biblical texts that appear in Luke, which is

an organized book, right? Um, Luke

says in the first chapter that he

diligently studied and arranged everything

chronologically.

Therefore, I began this

morning to talk about some passages

where the Lord indicates—there are many, the

Bible is full of faith, and Luke is

full of miracles that required faith.

But I want to focus specifically on the passages

where

faith or

unbelief is explicitly addressed. Are we there?

Amen. So, I'm going to name a couple of

passages that speak of faith. as the

Lord taught it. And then from Luke 17

onward, there's another group of passages

that I'm also going to show you so that

you can review what the

teaching was after the request.

We have a teaching prior to the

request, which is where they know they

need it, and we have a group of passages

that are the things that affirm the

request. Is that clear?

Nobody says "amen" here. That's clear. Very

good. So let's go with the first one. That's where

we started, and that's where we left off this

morning because we talked about another topic this

morning. Luke 7:9. If you help me, it

says, "When you hear this, you are slow, but I am going

faster." When Jesus heard this, he

was amazed at him. Jesus

marveled. It should have been the other way

around, shouldn't it? He marveled at him and

turning around said, "At whom?"

To the people who followed him. I tell you, I have not

found such great faith even in Israel.

Well, think of this as the situation.

There is a centurion

who, out of love for the nation of

Israel, built a synagogue, and the

elders of the city say, "He loves

our nation and built us a

synagogue." That said

, the centurion had a servant

in his house who was sick and

dying. Then he sends the

elders of the city to ask

Jesus to come to his house. But the

man even meditates on going

to Jesus, but he doesn't, look, number one, he does

n't feel worthy to go to Jesus. Second,

then his understanding grows and it is no longer

that he feels, does not feel worthy to go,

but now he does not feel worthy to

receive Jesus. Do you realize? Two

things. He does not feel worthy to go and he does not

feel worthy to receive Jesus.

Then he sends some friends and says to him,

"Don't bother coming to my house,

because I didn't even consider myself worthy to

come to you." But let the word say, "For

I am a man under authority." And

I say to this one, go and go. I tell this one, come here.

And it's coming. I tell this one to do this. And it does

. And then this

expression of the Lord appears. The Lord

marvels. And look what it says. I have not even

found such faith in Israel. And there were 12

Israelites who were his disciples who

were there. How do the

disciples feel when he says, "Not even

in Israel has he found such great faith"? It's

like I'm saying, "Even at CFC there's no

faith here. We're all coming in

now. That's a challenge to

the disciples' minds. Why? Because the

disciples have walked with the Lord,

the disciples have eaten with the Lord,

the disciples have traveled with the Lord,

the disciples have slept with the Lord, they've

seen the miracles, they've

participated in the miracles. And there's one

who hasn't walked with the Lord, hasn't

spoken with the Lord, has never seen him

face to face, and he has more faith than they do.

And they start saying, "How can someone

who hasn't seen a single miracle, who

has never heard the Lord speak,

have so much faith?" And on top of that, he's not

even Jewish, he's Roman. And we

who are children of Abraham,

we who walk with the Lord,

where is our faith? I don't know if you

can see it. Then the Lord

immediately shows something: that faith

wasn't geographically defined,

that faith had nothing to do with

culture or heritage. In

fact, the second person who appears

with Faith, great faith. Look, the Lord

says to a woman, "Woman,

great is your faith."

To whom did He say this? To a

Cyrophoenician woman.

That is, it means that there were people

who were not born of the lineage of Abraham, but

who were full of faith.

And that's not only a

beautiful thing, but that outside that group of

Jews there were people who believed and

trusted the Lord more than they did

.

For example, a man named Peter, who

carried a basket, sank because he lacked

faith or had little faith. But a

woman who didn't carry baskets, a woman

who was going through a crisis at home, a

woman who was told no many times,

a woman who was rejected by the

Jewish people—that woman was full of

faith.

It's a challenge to a Jewish mind

that a Cyrophoenician person,

a Roman, a centurion, could

have more faith than they, who are of the

lineage of Abraham. The

Lord begins to break down certain concepts in their

minds and show them that this has nothing to do

with where they came from. They were born into it; it's not just about what

they heard. Let me tell you something.

Sometimes in our offices, sometimes at

our jobs, sometimes on the street,

we find people who have more faith than the

people who go to church. Sometimes

out there, people say, "I believe

God will do it." And there are people who

have faith. They just have to

encounter the true source. And

when that happens, glorious things will

happen. But we must understand that if

we are here, it wouldn't be logical

for this church to be a church

completely full of faith, believing,

obedient, faithful to the Lord.

Of course it is. They heard

this. Look at me. They heard this and

said, "Wow, I haven't even

found this much faith in Israel." Why?

Because faith—look at the concepts

discussed in this passage—it speaks of

authority. He says, "I am a man

under authority." Faith, he is

saying, "You are a man of

authority." He knows who Jesus is." Do

you know why? Because faith gives perspective, it

opens your eyes to the truth of

authority. Amen.

Two, I am not worthy. Ah, but he was a

centurion, an important man, it's because

faith puts you in the right place.

You know who you are, it's not the place

man gave you. You know the position

you have before the Lord. It doesn't matter if

you're the manager of a company, have

a big house, or the most luxurious car. A

man of faith knows his place. The

place of a man of faith is at the

feet of the Lord, recognizing

His greatness. A man of faith is a

humble man. You will never find a

proud man of faith. If he is proud, it

is not faith. Because only men

of faith know the place they have and the

position our beloved Lord has.

Come on, say amen. Say glory to God.

Men of faith know their place.

He says, "I didn't even consider myself

worthy." No, I'm not, look at what you're

saying. I am not worthy to come to you. I don't

deserve to go to you. Because? Because that

man knows his place. That man

understands. So, the disciples, look at

me, he's looking at me, he's taking

notes. A man of faith knows his place. A

man of faith knows about authority. A man

of faith builds.

A man of faith builds. That's what it says, "He loves

our nation and built us up." A man

of faith builds up, he doesn't destroy. A man of

faith builds.

Amen.

So, they are taking note of how

this man, being Roman, has faith, and

how this man's faith, the Lord

tells him, has not found so much faith. And this

man says, "Say the word, no matter

where you are, whether you're two blocks from the

house or three blocks away, say the

word, and my servant will be healed in the house.

Amen." In other words,

if I say the word here, faith

has the power to break down walls.

Faith has the power to move through

time, through matter, through

space. Look at what he's

thinking. Say the word, and look,

the Lord doesn't say to him, "Excuse me, but

what illness does he have, what's wrong with him, and how long has he been like this?

" No, the man of

faith doesn't have to investigate much. Say

the word. And the word of faith will touch

whatever illness is in that

body, and he will rise. And if he is

dying, he will receive life. The word of

faith isn't about investigating; it's about

believing.

Say the word, and my servant will be healed.

So, the disciples are being

confronted with those they

seem to know, but it seems they don't really

know much. And they realize that they

don't have that faith; they need that faith. Faith,

they need to learn from the faith of a

man. So, the question is, do the

disciples in this passage feel they

need faith? Of course they do. Of course they do. Absolutely they do

. They are confronted

because they realize that this man's faith

is different from their own. The

centurion's faith was great, the centurion's faith

was visible, but that faith didn't

work without the right connection. I

mean, he was a centurion; he couldn't see his

servant healed unless that faith

connected with Christ.

Hmm. It's not like, I have faith, what's going to

happen? No, no, no. Faith is like

something, like a keyboard that's

playing. If you unplug it, even though it

has a keyboard, it's not going to work.

Everything's fine, the keyboard has the musician,

the worshipper has the whole pedal,

but if it's not plugged in, it doesn't work.

Faith is the same. When you separate yourself

from the source, faith will never

work for you. That's why you have to connect

to Christ.

Hallelujah.

We must be connected to the Lord.

Sometimes we are only connected to

the need and not to Christ.

Number two. We are still here.

Amen.

Number two. So, the second case,

this is something real that the Lord spoke

to His disciples about faith. Let's go

to case number two. Luke, chapter 7,

verse 50.

What does it say? But He said to the woman,

"Your faith,

no, you are not helping Me much." Your

faith has

salted you.

Go

in peace.

Very good.

That?

We are looking at a passage where a

Pharisee invites the Lord to his house for a

meal, right?

And this Pharisee does not receive the Lord with a

kiss, does not wash his feet, does not

welcome him, does not anoint him. And a woman who

was a sinner, the Bible says she was a

sinner, it doesn't say that she was, that she was a

sinner. And Simon confirms this later,

saying, "This woman is a sinner."

When that woman learned that the Lord

was in that house, she went first

to her house and took out a jar of perfume,

an alabaster jar of

perfume, and brought it to Simon's house.

And in that place she begins to weep at his

feet, the Lord's, and she begins to

dry his feet with her hair and then

anoints his feet with perfume. That's the

scene. The Pharisee saw what was

happening inside his mind, because

Pharisees usually speak nicely

to the outside, but think badly to the

inside.

Amen.

He says, "If this man were a prophet, he would know what

kind of woman this is who is

touching him."

And the Lord said to him,

"Simon, I have something to tell you."

And he says to him, "Tell me, master,

look here at what you are thinking. If this man were a

prophet, he would know that it is his turn." And the

Lord, knowing his thoughts,

said to him, "I have something to tell you." And he

says to him, "Tell me, teacher, do

n't you feel like giving him a

whack on the head?"

I was reading it and I felt like saying,

"Sir, give me a whack,

say teacher," he says. Then, and there he

tells her the story of the two debtors.

What the Lord is showing is that

she

loves very much, she

is repentant,

she feels forgiven at that moment, she is

breaking her heart

and she is crying at the Lord's feet

, repentant for what she has done

throughout her life.

So what does the Lord do? The Lord

says to her, "Daughter,

your faith has saved you. Go in peace."

And what the Lord said profoundly affected

the minds of everyone there.

Notice that in those times, when someone

was invited to a house, someone

important like the Lord, people could

be in the courtyard of the house, and

you'll see that all the time in the house of the

Pharisee. In different places, people would stay

outside even while listening to what was being

said inside. That was a

custom. In other words, they were quite gossipy

in those times. I mean, the teacher was inside,

and everyone was outside listening.

So, when you see this scene,

that woman left that place and went to the

Lord's feet. Pay attention to this. Listen

carefully to this. This passage gives us

many teachings about love,

repentance, and forgiveness, in one

house, in the same house, the Pharisee's house

, where there is judgment,

criticism, and gossip, but in that same

house there is love, forgiveness, and restoration.

In a house where there is a man who

judges and a woman who repents. In

a house where Someone, with Jesus in

that place, a woman is a symbol of

restoration.

Now, this woman's faith, this woman's faith, is what

connects her to the

Lord. Why? Because faith, look at me,

is a driving force. Men and women of faith

can never be still.

The men and women of God

of faith have a driving force called faith.

You know you have faith because you

never stay still. A man of faith

seizes opportunities.

Men of faith are men of

worship. Women of faith are women

who surrender to the Lord.

This woman

is not a passive woman; she is a woman who

recognizes the mistakes she has made.

This woman offers something, a perfume that

the Lord didn't ask for, but she wanted to

offer it.

This woman bothers the Pharisee in his

house. For the Pharisee, this woman came

to ruin the moment. For the Lord, the

woman arrived at the right time.

This woman's faith enabled her to endure the

stares.

Everyone knew who the woman was. She

also knew who she was.

But it is precisely faith that enables you to endure

the Criticism makes you endure the

stares. Your faith is so great that in the

end, what people say doesn't stop what

you have in your heart, the desire

to do. Even if it's in the

house of this Pharisee, I am willing to

break my heart before God.

True faith doesn't stop you.

True faith doesn't stop what we are going to

do for the Lord. Genuine faith

overcomes people's criticism.

This woman's faith led her to

pour herself out before Him. She uncovered

her head, something that wasn't

culturally acceptable for women at that time

. But she sat down and

stood behind a table to which she

wasn't invited. But faith burst forth in the

midst of that moment. She arrived

burdened, she entered as a sinner, but she

left free, in peace, and forgiven. Amen.

The question then is, when the

disciples see everything I've just

told you

and they realize that the Lord uses

this phrase, "Woman, your faith has

saved you," they understand that it was faith that was the

driving force behind their actions. actions.

They see then that they need faith to

overcome criticism,

gossip, and opposition, to be able to

offer, to be able to resist, to be able to

pour themselves out. They realize that she

has a faith that they don't have.

They need something that she does have.

It is faith,

and perhaps everything

that is happening isn't so clear.

Look at this, a strange mess in that house:

a woman crying, a woman letting her

hair down in front of the

men, a woman cleaning, a woman

anointing—all of that seems like a mess,

but in the Lord's life, it is an honor. He

is receiving the tears of a

repentant woman, and that repentance

was brought about by that faith, by letting her

hair down, and by being able to kiss the Lord's feet

. In other words, the Lord is telling her,

"Faith made you recognize, faith made you

worship, faith made you anoint." It was faith that

saved you, that connected you.

To be saved you have to

connect to the source. Everything

this woman did, she did through

faith. And the Lord looks at his disciples and

says to them, "Your faith has saved you."

Boys, learn. Faith has the

power to move things, to generate a

humble heart, to withstand

criticism. They will need faith to

break into a house, to worship

me, to change the atmosphere, and to

resist the Pharisees. So they

need faith. This is a lesson. They are taking

notes. We need faith, and so do you

and me, because they are going to

criticize us, they are going to judge us, they are going to speak

badly of us. But what will

allow us to remain at the feet of Christ

is that we have a solid, genuine,

true faith. Men of faith do not

rise up because of criticism, they do not rise up

because of what people say, they

remain on their knees before God

until it is the time for God to

raise them up. Men of God do not live or

die because of people's criticism, but they

worship the Lord in the midst of

criticism. They humble themselves before God.

Men of faith are not deterred by what

people say, but because they have

a conviction in their spirit that they must

be at the feet of their Lord.

Come on, say glory to God.

Amen.

It was faith. The Lord says to him,

"Go in peace.

Go in peace. Why

peace?

Peace is a state.

Peace is not just a feeling,

it is a state. And men of faith are

men of peace,

because men of faith are governed

by the state of peace. Peace

governs. May

the peace of God govern your

hearts.

Peace is government, not a feeling, it

is government, it is authority. What does

peace mean? If it is government, and may the peace of

God govern your thoughts,

govern your... Why? Because peace

is government. Do you know what government is?

It is authority and order. When the peace of

God... the Lord says to him, "Go in peace."

Why? Because men of faith are

men of peace

who have government over what they feel

and what they think. That is why when someone, someone, I don't know,

has passed away and you go to

someone to offer your

condolences, you say that the peace of God may

govern. And that is not wrong, because the

Peace must govern. What does that mean?

It brings order to what you feel, what you

experience, and what you decide. When one

speaks of peace, one must speak not of

tranquility, but of governance, authority,

and order. When the Lord says to her,

"Daughter, go in peace," do you know what that

means?

That everything that is criticizing you,

everything that has risen up against

you, you will have to go through that

alley where people will

criticize you. It's

one thing to be at my feet and another to

get up and leave a crowd

that knows you, but peace will

govern you so that you can

walk among those who

have criticized you, those who judge you, those

who reject you. But if you are

a person of faith, peace will govern

that moment so that you don't have to

bow your head, but know that there is a

government of peace, of order, a state at the

feet of Christ, and the faith that led me to

the feet of Christ will be the peace that

governs me in the word of Christ.

When the Lord says to her, "Go in peace," he

is telling her, "There is nothing left to

fear." Your faith saved you. So go out that way

, walk through that door, don't be

afraid, don't lose focus.

Peace will rule you. Peace brings

order, peace brings authority, and peace

brings government. And men of faith

walk in the peace of God.

Alleluia. Amen.

Amen.

You too.

I don't know what might happen. I don't know what

might happen at your company, at your

job, or wherever you have to go. But if

you are a man of faith, you will walk

in peace.

You will walk in order, you will walk

in government, you will walk in

hope. Suddenly, they

might make you sign a settlement agreement in there, and you

have to leave in peace. If you are a man

of faith, leave saying, "Thank you,

thank you so much. It was a blessing to be with

you." Don't leave crying, believing you've

lost everything. You haven't lost anything. If you

have Christ, you can walk in peace

before the people who criticize you, before

the people who reject you, before the

people who resist you. Men of peace

are men of governance, men of

authority. Peace is unshakeable,

nothing lost and nothing broken. Peace is a

state of the believer where the presence

of God reigns. Amen.

Peace has nothing to do with mere

tranquility. Peace has to do with

governance, with the presence of God in the

midst of what one is experiencing.

Oh, Father. No, it's not about that. One

assumes, no, this is a state of peace,

we're not bothered, no. The peace of

God is a profound state of governance and

authority. It is the presence of God in the

life of the believer, independent of the circumstances. You

can be in the worst storm,

but still be in a state of peace.

You can be in the worst crisis,

everything can be falling apart around you,

everything is Falling, but you are in

a state of peace. There was Paul.

Paul was in a state of peace. Everyone

was thinking about dying. Everyone

said, "This is it, this is as far as we go."

But Paul was in a state of peace.

Paul said, "This night

the angel of the Lord has been with me. Whom do I

serve? "Whose am I?" And he said to me,

"Paul, do not fear, I

will not fear. There is a storm, there is

a crisis, there is illness, but

I am in a state of peace. And that state

of peace is the presence of God in my

life that brings me governance,

order.

Everything is falling apart, but my peace does not

fall, my faith remains. Everything is

shaking, but my peace does not fall. It is the

presence of God that governs my

feelings, my thoughts, my

decisions. The peace of God allows you to

walk in the midst of rejection. The peace of

God is like Joseph looking at his

brothers. They are plotting to

kill him. And he says, "They cannot

kill me." They can take off my dress, they

can throw me in a pit, but they cannot

kill me because I am in a state

of peace. I have nothing in my heart.

God is with me and I will get out of this cistern

. This is not what God

said. This cistern doesn't resemble what

God told me about. So I'm not staying here

. I'm getting out of here. And if they

kill me, the Lord has to resurrect me

because there are things that God is going to do that

they cannot stop. Peace

gives you a state of tranquility and

absolute confidence in what God has established.

Come on. Say amen.

Glory to God.

Peace reigns.

When faith grows, peace grows.

Men of faith are men of peace.

If it's for me, they tell him I'm

busy. Please, Lord, increase our

faith. Lord, increase our peace.

Peace. A man of God must be

a man of peace, a man of faith who

governs, who understands. Number three,

Luke 8:12.

Listen to this. The Lord, speaking of the

lands, says, "And those by the wayside

are the ones who

hear."

And then he comes, don't name him.

And then the evil one comes

and takes it away from their heart.

Ah, he can remove the word.

Why remove the word?

So that they don't believe it and are saved. Did they

put that screen effect on me

because it looks nice, or because the screen is

malfunctioning?

Well, we need a new screen.

Look, what the text is saying

is that the Lord is talking about four

types of soil, and it has already been preached about, my

wife has preached about it a lot, but

in these four types of soil: the

path, the

thorns, the stones, and

the good soil.

Then it appears that the seed is the

word of God and that it is sown, but

here it is saying that the seed fell

along the path and it says that they hear the

word. That's why it's not enough to just hear,

you have to retain information.

I repeat, it is not enough to hear,

you have to retain the word.

Because? Because the enemy will go

after the seed. So that?

to remove it and so that you don't believe it,

because you can't believe without a word. We

cannot be men of faith if we are not

men of our word. That is why the word

must be kept so that faith

can grow.

Amen.

So,

the Lord teaches that the devil can

take the seed from the heart so that we do

not believe.

Please note, he is teaching that if

the word is taken away from the heart, faith

is also affected, because

faith cannot grow outside the sphere of the

word.

Faith is sustained by the word. We cannot

be people of faith if we are not

people of scripture.

So, my faith is like a container. The

earth is like the word, and the seed

is faith. So, what is the enemy coming for

? to remove the word

and will do everything possible to

remove the word that was preached. In other

words, you are receiving a

word today, you

are receiving a word from God.

The enemy today, and please don't make it

easy for him,

retain some of what we talked about. Write

it down, say it, "This is what the

Lord spoke to me. This is what the Lord said. Hold on to the

word, because the enemy's work

is to take away the word. If he manages to take away the

word, he will succeed in affecting our faith. He will

do everything possible, he will do all his

work in every way possible so that

you don't hold on to the word, so that you

get distracted. That's why when there's a lot of

activity, people get distracted. That's not

good because it pulls you away from the word, it takes

you out of your mind. Receive the word, repeat the

word, go back home, take note of

the word. I like it, brother. He

tells me, "Pastor, sometimes Cristi

sends me hers," he tells me, "Look, pastor,

I'm listening to the word again and

I'm taking notes." That's giving value

to the word. Amen.

Why? Because the enemy is going to go to the

storehouse to take out the word that was

heard, why? So that you generate

doubt. If he manages to take away the word, he succeeds in

affecting our faith,

because he says he takes away the word so that we do

n't believe.

Then, the lack of belief, the Lack of

faith is a disconnection from the Word. It

stops. So, sometimes we let

the enemy into our hearts, but he

will never enter as the devil.

Look at me, he will never enter;

a serpent will not present itself.

He takes different forms to try to

take away the Word. Sometimes he hides

behind many disguises, he hides

behind conversations. Sometimes the

enemy tries to take away the Word through

conversations. So God has

said—He said this at the beginning—that through

phrases, conversations,

wrong connections, he tries to enter

the heart and take away the Word.

Learn to identify who he is, how he

operates, and what he does it for. Then, each

of us will have to learn to

identify the work of hell itself,

which tries to take the Word from our

hearts.

The disciples, then, hearing this

message,

they said, "Look, we are here, right?

Amen.

Pay attention to this." So, the

disciples, hearing this message,

speaking to the Lord of the four

lands and saying, "The devil himself comes

to take away the Word so that you will not

believe." The disciples say,

"We need faith, but we need

to connect with the "Word." We must

learn to retain the word to be

people of faith. Then, they feel they

need more faith, therefore,

they need more words. They understand

the connection because God, the Lord

Jesus Christ, is speaking to them about

connection. Word and faith go hand in hand; they

are inseparable. We cannot be people

with much faith but little in the word.

But when you are filled with the word

of God, your faith in the Lord is also strengthened

.

If you are filled with the word of God, your

faith in the Lord is strengthened. That's why

when a person is filled with the

word, hasn't it happened to you that we are

preaching and talking about what God

did with Joshua, what God did with

Peter, what God did with Paul,

what God did with David, what

God did with Elijah? I am preaching to you

about people who have already died, but because

the word is alive and the word dwelt

in them, now you say, "I can." I

believe." Why? Because keeping the word

produces faith, and that faith lifts you up

and makes you believe that God

can open anything, that the waters can

part, that walls can fall, that

the sick can be healed, that even

your shadow is blessed, that your

word is there, and that the word of God

supports the faith that God has given you. That's why

people of faith are people of their

word. The enemy will come with the

word, but he will meet the

shield of faith. And the shield of faith

guards the word. And if you guard the

word, faith begins to be

strengthened. So you and I must

guard the word to be people of

faith. Take note. The disciples were

taking note, saying this. We need

more faith.

How many of you say "Glory to God"? You

can receive it.

So, without faith, there will be no fruit either,

because we cannot have the fruit of faith

if we don't have the word.

And if we don't have faith, Pastor, what happened?

The word was taken from you.

Someone took the word and damaged your

faith. So, we need

faith so that we can continue to grow.

Let me Let's finish with number

four. We're only at four.

Luke, chapter 8, verse 25. You

remember what we're here about, right?

Amen.

The disciples said,

and the Lord was showing them throughout

the story. This is the result of the

signs the Lord gave them of what they

needed, and that's why they assume they

need faith. We're there.

Number four. Luke 8:25.

And he said to them,

"Where is your faith?" I did

n't read that too badly. Where is your

faith?

And they were terrified

and said to one another, "Who is this,

that even the winds and the sea

obey him?" You

know where we are here in this

passage.

The Lord is crossing

the lake, and he said to them, "Let's go over to the other

side,

to Gadara." And on the other side, in Gadara,

there was a demon-possessed man. Do you remember?

So,

please notice this. The Lord fell asleep

in the boat.

Why?

Because what does a storm matter? That's how

the Lord goes.

If the Lord He's asleep, everyone's asleep.

Why should I fight? Should I get angry

if the Lord is sleeping? I have the

command. Look at me. The Lord

had already shown himself to be a person of

authority. He

also showed him that faith can bring

peace. He shows his authority by

healing the centurion, the centurion's servant

. Right? He shows him

authority through faith. We're

there.

Two. He also shows that to have peace,

you have to have faith.

Hm. And that someone can enter your

heart to speak the word and affect your

faith. So, when the Lord

shows him three, we're already on three, now

we're on four.

Authority and faith, peace and faith, the word and faith. You

can see it.

Now he asks him a question. Where is

your faith?

Where is your faith? It has to be somewhere

.

They had faith in the Lord,

but something happened.

The Lord tells them, "Let's cross to the other

side, shall we?"

Nobody helps me here. Let's cross to the other

side, shall we

?

And they should have kept the word they received

,

but the enemy came in

using the storm

to take away the word and affect their faith. In

other words, they already had the floor. What

was the word?

Let's cross to the other side. That's the

word.

And now a storm is rising.

And that storm was what the enemy used

to take away the word

and to affect faith now. Do you

realize that it's the same thing we were

talking about before, now it's

just illustrating the Lord's storm and now

what it does is affect their faith?

And now they no longer have faith in the

word, but they believe. Look,

look, look, they're looking at me

to see how many fingers I have.

Look at what they say. Lord,

wake up, we are perishing. that word means

we perish. They are saying, "Lord,

we are going to die." Look, the word

we perish means we will be

completely destroyed.

What did the Lord tell them? Let's move on

. Help me.

Why would you think you're going to die if

the Lord told you, "Let's go over to the other

side?" It's

when they, when the storm

takes away their words and now

disbelief comes, thoughts of

death arise.

They think they're going to die with the

Lord in here.

Then the Lord rises up before

rebuking them, rebukes the

storm,

and shows it his authority.

He tells the storm, "Shut up,

be silent."

And everything turned out well.

And now He looks at him and says, “Where is

your faith? Who has

shaken it?

What has shaken it? How can you think you will

perish, be destroyed in a

storm?

Faith was created and developed in

eternity to withstand storms.

If faith is what can keep you safe in the worst

storm, then no

storm can destroy your life. There is

nothing greater than faith. And if you

have faith, the storm has no

power.

Where is faith? In the midst of the

storm. The Lord is saying to them,

“How can you doubt the word I

gave you?” Do not let the storm

affect the word and damage the faith. Don't

let the waves you are seeing,

don't let fear take away your

voice. Do not let the devil

affect your faith. I'm going to say it like this to

each and every one of you in this room.

No storm can stop or

affect what God has said we are going to

do. No matter how big the

storm, we have the word and the

word will keep us safe in the midst of the

storm and we will arrive where the Lord

said we will arrive because the

word is living and effective and the

storm must submit to the word.

Come on, say amen.

Oh, God.

Come on, say glory to God.

Every storm,

every work of hell, the Lord

says to him, "Where is your faith?

Where is your faith?

Where is your faith?" They began to

believe they were going to die because the

storm makes you believe you are going to

perish. But the word has already been released

because the word comes before the

storm. The word comes before the

storm. And that is why the Lord

could sleep, because the Lord did not sleep

in a boat, the Lord slept in his

word.

The Lord did not sleep in a boat. The

Lord rested in his word. And when

the word of God reigns, what does

the storm matter? That storm comes

to distract you, to take away what the Lord

has deposited, but it has no authority. It won't

destroy you. Oh, I'm going to

tell someone this. It won't

destroy you, it won't

stop you.

The storm will not destroy you.

The storm won't stop you.

Rest in the word.

Rest in the word.

She is the rock. The word sustains you.

The word protects you. Words

help you. The word, the word of God.

It is the word of God. It is the word of

God. Who is this who commands the

wind? The waves obey him. I'll tell you

who this is. It is Christ. It is the Lord.

He is the King. He is the sovereign. He is the Eternal.

He is the prince of shepherds and everything is

subject to the word of God.

He is Christ.

Alleluia.

Someone can glorify Christ.

Someone can exalt Christ. Someone

can give Him glory

in the name of Jesus. The storm won't

stop you. The storm will not

destroy you. You will arrive where Christ said

you would arrive.

Alleluia. Say amen.

Jesus,

glory,

hallelujah,

honor,

strength

and power to King

Jesus. Jesus,

Jesus. He is the Lord.

King

Jesus.

Come on, tell him, tell him, tell him

the glory. Do

n't be intimidated.

Honor.

He is in the boat,

the strength.

He goes with you and His power

is Jesus. Jesus,

the son of God, and

He is Christ.

Someone adored in the midst of the storm.

Glory,

honor.

Strength

and power to King

Jesus.

Beautiful Jesus.

Wonderful Jesus.

King

of Jesus.

Glory,

honor,

strength,

and power to King

Jesus.

Jesus,

glory,

honor,

strength

and power to King

Jesus. Jesus,

Jesus,

we will get to the other side. It

may arrive calmly or it may arrive in a

storm,

but we will reach the other side.

In their minds the disciples noted and

wrote,

we need more faith.

Because every lesson

confirmed in their hearts the fact that they did

not have everything they needed for

the journey.

And all of us will need

faith

to keep rowing,

to believe that if the Lord is in the

boat there is

nothing to fear.

Amen.

If the Lord is with us, we have nothing to

fear. It may take some getting there

, but no storm

can stop him if the Lord is there. And

if the Lord said we're going to arrive,

you're going to arrive crying, with

or without a storm, but a storm can't

stop God's plan.

So let us learn to be men of faith. And

he knows what the disciples should have done:

worship the Lord. In the midst of

the storm, boys, let's sing

because in the midst of the storm the

word of the Lord reigns. We will not be

governed by fear. The word of the

Lord has already been released and we will cross to the

other side,

regardless of the storm. The

storm will not stop us, it will

only show the glory of the Lord.

And if the Lord is here in the boat, we will

reach the other side. The Lord is not going to come

down. Don't despair,

you'll get there. Do

n't despair, the storm will pass.

But the Lord reigns, He rules. He is the

authority over any storm we

may experience. To him be the glory, to him be the

honor. Amen.

Glory to God.

Come, celebrate the Lord. Say thank you,

Lord.

Alleluia.

Learn to rest.

Do not allow the enemy to be in

authority. He is peace.

The word and faith.

Alleluia.

Thank you, Lord. We love you.

Thank you, Father.

Thank you, Lord.

How many can say thank you, Lord?

They can receive the word.

They can receive the word of the Lord.

Receive it. Hold her.

The enemy will always try to stir up

a storm to suppress a word.

Don't allow it. Close the doors.

Identify,

identify. What we are going to do now

is something very beautiful.

We are going to have a dinner time with

our beloved Lord.

The Lord recalled his words, saying,

"How I have longed to

eat this Passover

with you."

And the truth is that the Lord's Supper

is such a family moment, so much a moment of the

Lord. It is a time when we remember and

do everything in memory of our

Lord.

Everything he did

when he took those children in his arms,

when he walked with a cross,

when he was beaten, but also when he

rejoiced, when the 70 returned.

He said, "Do this in memory of me."

And doing it in his memory

brings joy to our hearts.

Amen.

He is our Lord and He invited us to be

part of a table,

and this is His invitation.

Sometimes we have received

such beautiful invitations to sit at

such special places,

but there is no other table more

important than this one.

If you could think of any

place where you have sat with people who were

perhaps important or relevant,

this table contains something very

special. We remember the covenant of our

Lord. We remember what he did for

us

and also proclaim his promise to

return for his church.

So on this day we have been

invited, pastor, but I don't think I can

take the supper because I have

sinned, and that's the argument people

use to say, "I'm not ready." The

truth is that we have learned that there is no

one worthy to take it, but the

worthy one lives in us

and gives us the opportunity.

And the Bible says, "If we partake of the Lord's Supper

without discerning the body, the body of

Christ is His church. You have to

learn that this is the body of Christ.

And we have been invited, and there are people

who sometimes reject the Supper, but they don't

reject sin and prefer to say, '

I don't want to partake because of sin.'

That is embracing sin and rejecting the

covenant.

The Lord in the parable of the great banquet

was angry with those who rejected it

and said, 'Not one of them will taste my

table.'" We should feel gratitude.

Because without being worthy we have been

called to sit at the table, a table

that will bring healing, restoration,

direction, strength,

freedom. We have been

called to honor the Lord

by sitting at the table with him,

partaking of the bread that represents his

body and the wine that represents the

covenant in his blood. So, as we receive it

with humility of heart and

gratitude, we should say to Him, "Lord,

thank You

because so many people would have liked to be here,

and You allow us to be here

. Amen.

It is a privilege.

So I am going to ask You to sit, to clear

the aisles so

that my brothers and sisters can walk

among you, and allow me to pray for

you, and you to pray with me.

Lord, thank You for this moment,

because

if we were to count our mistakes, they would be

countless,

but Your mercy is greater than

our mistakes.

Your faithfulness is greater than our

errors.

And today we ask for Your forgiveness

because we have failed so many times more than we

would like.

But today, once again, You extend Your hand in

our favor.

Help us, Lord. Paul said, 'What I do not

want to do, I do.'

And sometimes we do things we don't want to do,

our weaknesses, our mistakes.

But today, Lord, we ask for Your help, and we

repent with

all our hearts, and today we want not to

reject

the Lord's Supper, Your body, Your blood, but to

reject sin,

Lord. Help us not to fail You,

and We will be strengthened through

it, healed and restored this day.

So we cry out in your name, Jesus.

Thank you very much.

Amen.

My brothers and sisters will pass among

you. Please do not reject it, receive it

with humility, with gratitude.

And while you receive, I open the door to my

brothers and sisters who are also there online,

who may be able to be part of

this beautiful time. Perhaps

you are in your homes,

know that the Lord is also there with

you.

Don't feel that you can't do it.

Do it. Take a piece of bread, have

a little juice if you have it

. And even if it were water,

even if you had nothing, God

can still do something. Do it in faith

with us.

Thank you, Father.

If you found it, if you have received it, you

may stand, please.

Paul, writing to the Philippians,

says, "Let this mind be in you

which was also in Christ Jesus, who,

being in the form of God, did

not consider equality with God something to be grasped." He did not cling to anything

,

but stripped himself bare.

He took the form of a servant, being made in the

likeness of men, and being found in

appearance as a man, he humbled

himself by becoming obedient to

death—even death on a cross!

Therefore God also highly exalted him

and gave him the name

that is above every name, so that at the

name of Jesus every knee should bow,

in heaven and on

earth and under the earth.

And every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is

Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

This little bread, my love,

this bread, if you can put it in your hand,

please take it out of its packaging, and

I also want to thank my brothers

who lovingly prepare and

serve it, praying to the Lord so that we can have

this beautiful dinner. Thank you to all my

dear brothers and sisters.

This bread

represents so much, so much, so much.

This little piece of bread represents so much; it

represents the body of our Lord

Jesus Christ.

A body that without sin

was given up for you and me,

that was beaten,

that was hurt

for love of us.

A body that suffered

all diseases,

all ailments were carried on

him

and out of love he reached a cross

and he said so. Take this bread, which

represents my body, which

is ground for you.

And we do it in memory of the Lord. Please

take it in the name of Jesus.

He is the image of the invisible God, the

firstborn of all creation.

For by him all things were created: things

in heaven and

on earth,

visible and invisible,

whether thrones or dominions or rulers or

authorities—

all things were created through him and for

him and in him and to him. He is before all

things, and in him all things hold together.

And he is the head of the body, the

church; he is the

beginning, the firstborn

from the dead, so that in everything he might have

the supremacy.

For God was pleased to have

all his fullness dwell in him, and through him to

reconcile to himself all things, whether things

on earth or things in

heaven, by making peace

through his blood, shed on the cross.

Here in this place

is represented

the glorious blood of our Lord

Jesus Christ.

It is a wine, but it represents blood,

the blood of the covenant, the blood of

forgiveness, in which you and I have been

washed.

Our wickedness and sins were

forgiven.

Through his blood we have access to the

throne of grace.

Through his blood, all his blood

was shed

in the Gsemaní,

on the way to the cross.

And on the cross,

that whole cross was bathed in blood,

a wood full of blood,

hands and feet pierced,

a crown of thorns

and in the midst of all the pain,

forgiveness for those of us who did not

deserve it,

he reconciled us with his blood. It

was all spilled.

At the end,

a spear pierced his side,

breaking his heart.

Blood and water flowed from

the birth of his beloved church.

And today

we remember that death.

And the death

on that painful day

ended up being the greatest victory.
