Here's the Point from CrossPoint Christian Church in Whittier, CA

Dios decide crear una nación por la cual se revelara y bendecira al mundo de una manera muy especial. Para hacer esto, escoge a una pareja que nadie mas escogeria. Abram y Sarai eran avanzados en años y no tenian decendientes. Pero Abram mostró tener fe en Dios y eso es todo lo que Dios queria de ellos para llevar acabo su plan. A los cien años, Abraham tiene a su hijo Isaac. Isaac tiene gemelos,...

La primera leccion de La Historia relata el principio de todo lo creado por el Dios eterno. La humanidad siendo lo mas valioso para Dios,habiendolos creado a su propia imagen. Con la habilidad para escoger, Adan y Eva rechazaron el plan de Dios y comieron del fruto prohibido lo cual los separo del El y entro la muerte al mundo. Esto da comienzo al maravilloso plan redentivo de Dios para el mundo,...

“In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” Genesis 1:1. Just imagine the beginning of life as we know it! The first chapters of Genesis take readers through the stages of creation as the world came to be—a world designed for us and made perfect by God. Human existence in this perfect world came to a halt with the entrance of “the serpent” who convinced Adam and Eve, the first humans...

Paul worked with others as fervent as he in order to spread the Gospel. As he was away from the believers in Philippi, he remained in contact and sought to send workers like Timothy and Epaphroditus to further encourage them. Timothy, as Paul described in Philippians 2:20, was one of a kind when it came to showing genuine concern for the welfare of others. Epaphroditus had been ill and upon hearin...

Paul continues his message to the believers in Philippi—encouraging them to be serious about salvation—whether in his presence or not. He understood human nature and reinforced that they should be mindful about their own salvation while knowing that God was working through them even in the midst of a broken world. Paul stressed continued obedience, innocence and perseverance in these verses that e...

What time is Christmas? Most will say...”of course—it is December 25,” and while the date is widely observed to commemorate Jesus’ birth, popular American culture tends to focus on a gift-giving holiday filled with toys, shopping, eating and decorations. However, remembering Jesus’ birth means much, much more. Christians remember that at the right time, God sent his Son to save us, help release ou...

When the apostle Paul was in Athens, he was greatly distressed to see that the city was full of idols which the residents considered divine. Paul told those who would listen that they should not think that the divine was like gold, silver or stone—an image made by human design and skill. As Paul continued to talk about Jesus' resurrection, some mocked and derided him, but others wanted to hea...

What does it mean to be “like-minded?” Today’s Christians can learn much from this epistle as Paul encouraged those in Philippi to have the same mindset as Christ—the same love, one spirit and one mind in humility—putting aside selfish ambition or vain conceit--valuing others above themselves and looking to the interests of the others. No, it’s not always easy to be like-minded because we come fro...

Philippians 1:21While imprisoned Paul continued his letter to the believers in Philippi and probably surprised them by his courage and willingness to die for his beliefs. He realized that by living he could continue to proclaim Christ and encourage them in the faith, but in death he would gain eternal life. He said “Yet what shall I choose? I do not know! I am torn between the two: I desire to dep...

In Psalm 100, the psalmist conveys the ways that one should come before the Lord--with grateful praise—with gladness, shouting for joy—with thanksgiving and praise. How do you come before the Lord? Do you remember the enduring love, faithfulness and goodness of God even in the midst of a “life storm?” Even when we are broken, there is reason to give thanks and praise His name! “For the Lord is goo...

When Paul and his companions were in Thessalonica and proclaimed Jesus as the Messiah, some were persuaded and joined Paul and Silas, but others were jealous; so they formed a mob and started a riot in the city, accusing the believers of defying Caesar’s decrees. They went to search for Paul and Silas but they did not find them. Paul had managed to escape and went on to Berea, but “when the Jews i...

In Paul's letter to the believers in Philippi, he reassured them that his situation had actually served to advance the gospel instead of stop it. Even in imprisonment, it was clear what he stood for to those around him and his “misfortune” encouraged other believers to become “more confident in the Lord and dare all the more to proclaim the gospel without fear.” Paul goes on to say that while...
