Pastor A.L. Román - Pensad en estas Cosas =Fil 4.4-8 =Fil 2.5-11=

Amén, amado. Aquí estamos leyendo el libro de Filipenses. El libro de Filipenses, amado, es una carta corta y alegre escrita por el apóstol Pablo desde una prisión romana. Pablo está en prisión. Está sufriendo. Las cosas no le van fáciles. Y sin embargo escribe una carta que se centra en encontrar fuerza, paz y profunda alegría en Jesucristo, sin importar lo difícil que sea la vida. Mucha gente quiere hablar y dar consejos, pero nunca han pasado por nada. Pero aquí Pablo ha pasado por cosas, y las está pasando, Pablo nos exhorta a tener una mentalidad positiva en el sufrimiento, a tener humildad como Jesús, a tener satisfacción y paz sin importar dónde esté nuestra vida y dónde estemos, y a encontrar la fuerza para vivir nuestra vida en Cristo.
El libro de Filipenses, amado, se centra mucho en la actitud mental de un creyente. Pablo argumenta que la vida de pensamiento interno de Cristo moldea directamente nuestra unidad y resistencia internas y externas. Y por eso nos dice cosas como emular la mentalidad de Cristo, rechazar el egoísmo, valorar más a los demás que a uno mismo y abrazar la soledad. ¿Por qué? Porque Pablo nos habla de tener la mentalidad correcta que está en Cristo Jesús. Y de eso quiero hablaros con este mensaje. Y esto es extremadamente importante porque mucha gente, incluso en la iglesia, tiene la mentalidad equivocada. Una mentalidad que no está en Cristo, sino que es la mentalidad del mundo.

A.L.Roman - Think on These Things =Phil 4.4-8 =Phil 2.5-11 =

Amen, beloved We're reading here from the book of Philippians. The book of Philippians, beloved, is a short, joyful letter written by the hand of the Apostle Paul from a Roman prison. Paul is in prison. He is suffering. Things are not going easy for him. And yet he writes a letter that focuses on finding strength, finding peace, and finding deep joy in Jesus Christ, no matter how hard life is. A lot of people want to talk and give advice, but they've never been through anything. But here Paul has gone through stuff, and he is going through it, Paul is exhorting us having a positive mindset in suffering, to have humility like Jesus, to have contentment and peace no matter where our life is and where we're at, and to find the strength to live our life in Christ.
The book of Philippians, beloved, focus heavily on the mental attitude of a believer. Paul argues that Christ's internal thought life directly shapes our internal, external unity and endurance. And that's why he tells us things like emulate the mindset of Christ, reject selfishness, value others more than yourself and embrace loneliness. Why? Because Paul is talking to us about having the right mindset that is in Christ Jesus. And that's what I want to talk to you about with this message. And this is extremely important because many people even in the church have the wrong mindset. A mindset that is not in Christ, but after the mindset of the world.

Pastor A.L. Román - Yo soy el camino, y la verdad, y la vida = John 14.1-6=

Amados vemos aquí en la Palabra de Dios, Jesús está con sus discípulos durante su último día en la tierra. Están en la sala de arriba participando en lo que sabemos que es La Última Cena. Más tarde esa noche sería arrestado por el Sanedrín, juzgado y crucificado al día siguiente. Y los discípulos están confundidos. Pensaban, cuando empezaron a seguir a Jesús, que Él liberaría a Israel de la opresión romana, establecería su Reino y los elevaría por encima del pueblo de Israel. Y estaban muy emocionados, especialmente cuando vieron a Jesús entrar en Jerusalén montado en un b***o, y la gente gritaba su nombre y ponía ramas de palma.
Pero al entrar en la ciudad, los discípulos ven a Jesús derrotar a los cambistas, así como ven a Jesús reprender duramente a los líderes religiosos. Y especialmente después de escuchar la profecía de Jesús de que el Templo sería completamente destruido, se sienten confundidos. Están confundidos porque las cosas no están saliendo como creían. De hecho, las cosas están empeorando porque perciben la creciente hostilidad hacia Jesús entre los gobernantes religiosos y entre el pueblo. Y sobre todo, no pueden quitarse de la cabeza las palabras que les dijo antes de entrar en la ciudad, que cuando llegaran a la ciudad, Él sería arrestado, juzgado y crucificado y resucitaría al tercer día. Y con eso me gustaría preguntarte hoy, ¿alguna vez has seguido a Dios a un lugar donde no sabes lo que está haciendo? ¿Alguna vez has seguido a Dios hasta un lugar en el que pensabas saber lo que hacía pero no lo sabías?
Sabes que he estado ahí y las cosas pueden volverse bastante confusas. Piensas que Dios va a la derecha, pero Él va a la izquierda. Piensas que Dios va a hacer algo de cierta manera, pero él lo hace totalmente de otra manera. Y cuando pasan estas cosas, puedes sentirte confundido, frustrado e incluso abandonado. Está claro en las escrituras que los discípulos se sentían así. Se sentían así porque no lo entendían. Los discípulos, de acuerdo con las promesas y expectativas del Antiguo Testamento, esperaban al Mesías que liberaría a Israel de sus opresores terrenales. Como muchos judíos de su época, anticipaban un rey político que derrotara Roma y restauraría el reino a Israel. Lo que aún no entendían era que la misión de Jesús en su primera venida era mucho mayor que simplemente liberar a una nación de otra. Su misión última era liberar a la humanidad de su mayor opresor. Y este opresor es el Pecado.

SERMON: A.L. Roman - I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life = John 14.1-6=

Beloved we see here in the Word of God Jesus is with His disciples during His last day on earth. They are in the upper room partaking of what we know is The Last Supper. Later that night he would be arrested by the Sanhedrin, judged and crucified the next day. And the disciples are confused. They thought when they started to follow Jesus, that He would liberate Israel from Roman oppression, establish His Kingdom, and elevate them above the people of Israel. And they were very excited, especially when they saw Jesus come into Jerusalem riding on a donkey, and the people were shouting His name and laying down palm branches.
But as they enter the city, and they see Jesus overthrow the money changers, as they see Jesus sharply rebuke the religious leaders. And especially after they hear Jesus' prophecy that the Temple would be utterly destroyed, they are confused. They are confused because things are not turning out the way they believed. In fact, things are turning for the worst because they can sense the rising hostility for Jesus amongst the religious rulers and amongst the people. And most of all, they cannot get out of their mind the words He told them before they went into the city, that when they got to the city, He would be arrested, tried, and crucified and would rise on the third day. And with that I would like to ask you today, have you ever followed God into a place where you don't know what he is doing? Have you ever followed God into a place where you thought you knew what He was doing but didn't?
You know I've been there and things can get pretty confusing. You think God is going right, but He is going left. You think God is going to do something a certain way, but he totally does it another way. And when these things happen, you can feel confused, you can feel frustrated, and you can even feel abandoned. It is clear in the scriptures that the disciples felt like that. They felt like that because they did not understand. The disciples, in accordance with the promises and expectations found in the Old Testament, were waiting for the Messiah who would deliver Israel from her earthly oppressors. Like many Jews of their day, they anticipated a political King who would overthrow Rome and restore the kingdom to Israel. What they did not yet understand was that Jesus' mission in His first coming was far greater than merely liberating one nation from another. His ultimate mission was to liberate humanity from its greatest oppressor. And this oppressor is Sin.

MESSAGE: A.L. Roman - Revealing the Unknown God to a Doubtful World =Acts 17.16-23 =

So here Paul is debating people outside Mars Hill and proclaiming the gospel to all who would hear him. He was there because the bible says in verse 16 of Acts 17, Acts 17:16 Now while Paul waited for them at Athens, his spirit was stirred in him, when he saw the city wholly given to idolatry. You see there was a burden that the Holy Spirit put in Paul’s heart when He converted and made Paul a Christian. And it was a burden for people who were religious. It was a burden for people who were lost. It was a burden for those who did not have the truth of Christ in their hearts. And this burden moved Paul to act, moved Paul to preach, moved Paul to go places where he would probably never go. And while we think on this, I would like to ask those of you who call yourself Christians this, Do you have a burden for those who don’t know the gospel? And, Do you have a burden for those who are not saved? Does your heart ache for people who are dying and going to hell? You see, that was why Paul was there, that was why he put himself through the suffering that he went through, because Paul had a heart for Christ. And when you have a heart for Christ, you have a heart to win souls that are lost.

Pastor A.L. Román - Revelando Al Dios Desconocido A Un Mundo Dudoso =Acts 17.16-23 =

Así que aquí está Pablo debatiendo con gente fuera de Mars Hill y proclamando el evangelio a todos los que quisieran escucharle. Estuvo allí porque la Biblia dice en el versículo 16 de Hechos 17, Hechos 17:16. Ahora, mientras Pablo les esperaba en Atenas, su espíritu se enardeció, se agitó en él al ver la ciudad completamente dedicada a la idolatría. Verás, había una carga que el Espíritu Santo puso en el corazón de Pablo cuando se convirtió y convirtió a Pablo al cristianismo. Y era una carga para las personas religiosas. Era una carga para las personas que se habían perdido. Era una carga para quienes no tenían la verdad de Cristo en sus corazones. Y esta carga llevó a Pablo a actuar, a predicar, a ir a lugares donde probablemente nunca iría. Y mientras pensamos en esto, me gustaría preguntar a quienes se llaman cristianos: ¿Tenéis una carga para quienes no conocéis el evangelio? Y, ¿tienes una carga para quienes no son salvados? ¿Te duele el corazón por personas que se están muriendo y van al in****no? Verás, por eso Pablo estaba allí, por eso se sometió al sufrimiento que pasó, porque Pablo tenía un corazón para Cristo. Y cuando tienes un corazón para Cristo, tienes un corazón para ganar almas que se han perdido.

Pastor A.L.Roman - The Rich Young Ruler = Mar 10.17-22 =

We read here the account of the rich young ruler. This account is also in Mat 19:16-22, and Luk 18:18-23. Now this man here in this scripture had 3 things going for him. 1) He was rich, 2) He was young, 3) he was a ruler. He had everything very few people in this life have. Most people have one of the three or two of the three. But to have three of the three of these characteristics is rare in this life. This young man was blessed indeed. He had everything going for him. This rich young ruler was living a blessed life on three dimensions. And yet there was a fourth dimension in which he was lacking. And that is what the message entailed here in the passage. You walk with financial success. You walk in youth and health. You walk with power and influence. But do you walk with God? Beloved, now youth, with all its fervor, with all of its impulsivity and with all of its recklessness, is very beautiful to the Lord Jesus. But here in this passage we see the importance of walking with and being known by God.

Pastor A.L.Román - El Joven Rico Gobernante =Mar 10.17-22 =

Aquí leemos el relato del joven gobernante rico. Este relato también está en Mat 19:16-22 y Luc 18:18-23. Este hombre aquí en esta escritura tenía tres cosas a su favor. 1) Era rico, 2) Joven, 3) era gobernante. Tenía todo lo que muy pocas personas en esta vida tienen. La mayoría de la gente tiene uno de los tres o dos de los tres. Pero tener tres de estas tres características es raro en esta vida. Este joven era realmente afortunado. Lo tenía todo a su favor. Este joven y rico gobernante vivía una vida bendecida en tres dimensiones. Y sin embargo, había una cuarta dimensión en la que le faltaba. Y eso es lo que implicaba el mensaje aquí en el pasaje. Caminas con éxito financiero. Caminas en juventud y salud. Caminas con poder e influencia. ¿Pero caminas con Dios? Amados, ahora jóvenes, con todo su fervor, toda su impulsividad y toda su imprudencia, son muy hermoso para el Señor Jesús. Pero aquí, en este pasaje, vemos la importancia de caminar con Dios y ser conocido por él.

MESSAGE: A.L.Roman - The Elder Son Syndrome In The House of The Father = Luk 15.25-32 =

Beloved, we are taking a look at a portion of scripture that for the most part is known by everybody in the Church. We all know the story of the Prodigal Son well. We have heard it dozens of times. I have preached it dozens of times. The Church thinks for the most part that it understands this story. But may I show you today that there is a deeper meaning and message to this story that for the most part, we miss entirely in the Church. Now, When you look at the story of the Prodigal Son, there are actually two sons. The younger son is given all the attention because he is the most exposed character in the story, and the elder son is hidden in obscurity. The two sons bring with themselves two messages. Two trains of thought. The younger speaks a message to the sinner and the backslider who walks away physically from God. But the elder son speaks a message to those who are prodigal while in the church.
