Traicionado

21 de marzo del 2021

Mateo 26:14-16

La traición de Judas no fue un accidente. Judas lo planeó con premeditación después de sentirse justificado por sus acciones a la luz de sus frustraciones con Jesús. Desde la perspectiva de Judas, Jesús estaba tardando demasiado en acabar con los romanos. Comprender por qué Judas traicionó a Jesús es clave para comprender cómo nos sirve de advertencia hoy. ¿Cuántas veces “vendemos” a Jesús con las decisiones que tomamos? ¿Cuáles son nuestras razones?

¿Cuál era tu villano favorito (o más despreciado) cuando eras niño(a)? ¿Por qué?

Piénsalo de parte de la perspectiva de Judas. ¿Por qué él traicionó a Jesús? ¿Qué piensas de sus posibles razones?

¿Cuál es el peligro de pensar de Judas como alguien completamente diferente de nosotros?

¿Qué elementos de tu vida están en contra de los valores de Jesús?

Matthew 26:14-16

The betrayal of Judas was no accident. Judas planned it with premeditation after feeling justified for his actions in light of his frustrations with Jesus. From Judas’s perspective, Jesus was taking too long to take down the Romans. Understanding why Judas betrayed Jesus is key to understanding how he serves as a warning to us today. How many times do we “sell” Jesus with the decisions that we make? What are our reasons?

What is your favorite (or most disliked) villain while growing up? Why? 

Think about this from Judas’ perspective. Why did he betray Jesus? What do you think about his possible reasons? 

What is the danger of thinking about Judas as someone completely different from us? 

What elements of your life are completely against Jesus’ values?

Adoración Extravagante

 

14 de Marzo del 2021

Juan 12:1-8

 

María derramó un perfume caro a los pies de Jesús como un acto de adoración. El acto de adoración de María era puro ... apasionado ... real ... caro ... y extravagante. Tocó el corazón de Jesús. Jesús sabía que se dirigía a la cruz, y el acto de adoración de María fue una bendición para él. La coronación de Jesús sería con la cruz como trono y espinas por corona. Maria, en su gratitud, esta ungiendo a Jesus como otros tantos reyes habían sido en el pasado.

 

¿Cuál es el acto de adoración más extravagante que hayas presenciado en tu vida? Explica.

 

¿Qué piensas está pasando por la mente de María al derramar el perfume a los pies de Jesús? ¿Cómo piensas que se siente ella en este momento?

 

¿Cómo hubieras reaccionado a las palabras de Judas en ese momento? ¿Hubieras estado de acuerdo o en desacuerdo con Judas?

 

¿Qué piensas que Jesus quiso decir con sus palabras? ¿Cómo hubieras reaccionado a estas palabras si fueras Maria? ¿Judas?

 

¿Cómo puedes derramar tu amor a Jesús extravagantemente, de una manera que extienda la hermosa fragancia de Jesús en dónde tú estás?

Extravagant Worship

March 14, 2021

John 12:1-8

 

Mary poured an expensive perfume at Jesus' feet as an act of worship. Mary's act of worship was pure ... passionate ... royal ... expensive ... and extravagant. He touched the heart of Jesus. Jesus knew he was heading to the cross, and Mary's act of worship was a blessing to him. The coronation of Jesus would be with the cross as a throne and thorns as a crown. Mary, in her gratitude, is anointing Jesus as so many other kings had been in the past.

 

What's the most outrageous act of worship you've ever witnessed? Explain.

 

What do you think is going through Mary's mind as she pours the perfume at Jesus' feet? How do you think she feels right now?

 

How would you have reacted to Judas's words at that time? Would you have agreed or disagreed with Judas?

 

What do you think Jesus meant by his words? How would you have reacted to these words if you were Maria? Judas?

 

How can you pour out your love for Jesus extravagantly, in a way that spreads the beautiful fragrance of Jesus where you are?

God In The Flesh

March 7, 2021 

John 1:1-5, 14

It is easy for us to forget the miracle that is made real in Jesus’ incarnation (God made flesh). The reality is that the Creator of the Universe became a simple man in order to reach us and that alone is an earth shattering reality.

Talk to us about the best boss that you have had and tell us why they were (or are) so good. 

How would you explain to a child the reality of Jesus being Creator and Human at the same time? 

What do you think John means by the phrase "made his dwelling among us?" Why is this important to us? 

Why is it so important in our relationship with God to know that Jesus walked in our steps?

Dios En La Carne

7 de Marzo del 2021

Juan 1:1-5, 14

Es fácil olvidar el milagro que se hace real en la encarnación de Jesús (Dios hecho carne). La realidad es que el Creador del Universo se hizo un hombre simple para poder alcanzarnos y eso solo es una verdad transformadora. 

Háblanos del mejor jefe que hayas tenido y dinos porque era (o es) tan bueno  

¿Cómo le explicarías a un niño la realidad de que Jesus era el Creador y un ser humano a las misma vez? 

¿Qué piensas que Juan quiere decir con la frase “habitó entre nosotros?” ¿Por qué esto es importante para nosotros? 

¿Por qué es tan importante en nuestra relación con Dios el saber que Jesus caminó en nuestros pasos?

Welcome: Pastor Nieves 

Opening Hymn: I Stand Amazed (My Saviour's Love)

Verse 1

I stand amazed in the presence

Of Jesus the Nazarene

And wonder how He could love me

A sinner condemned unclean

 

Chorus

How marvelous how wonderful

And my song shall ever be

How marvelous how wonderful

Is my Saviour's love for me

 

Verse 2

For me it was in the garden

He prayed not My will but Thine

He had no tears for His own griefs

But sweat drops of blood for mine

 

Verse 3

In pity angels beheld Him

And came from the world of light

To comfort Him in the sorrows

He bore for my soul that night

 

Verse 4

He took my sins and my sorrows

He made them His very own

He bore the burden to Calvary

And suffered and died alone

 

Verse 5

When with the ransomed in glory

His face I at last shall see

'Twill be my joy through the ages

To sing of His love for me

 

Prayer:

Everlasting God,

Because of your tender mercy toward all people,

You sent your Son, our Savior Jesus Christ,

To take upon himself our flesh,

And to suffer death upon the cross,

That all should follow the example of his great humility.

Mercifully grant that we may follow the example of his patience

And also be made partakers of his resurrection;

Through the same Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

  

Congregational Hymn: Amazing Love

 

Verse 1

My Lord what love is this
That pays so dearly
That I the guilty one
May go free

 

Chorus

Amazing love O what sacrifice
The Son of God giv’n for me
My debt He pays and my death He dies
That I might live
That I might live
(That I might live)

 

Verse 2

And so they watched Him die
Despised rejected
But oh the blood He shed
Flowed for me

 

Verse 3

And now this love of Christ
Shall flow like rivers
Come wash your guilt away

Live again
