Tom Logue - October 26th 2025 In Jesus' family, loving discipline restores straying sheep and protects the flock. This week, Tom continues our King and His Kingdom series in Matthew 18:15–20, walking through Jesus' four-step process for church discipline within His church (ekklesia). He contrasts biblical friendship (top-shelf friends who love you enough to help you fight sin) with worldly friendship, warns how bitterness is poison, and explains what Jesus means by “binding and loosing” and “where two or three are gathered” in the context of restoring a brother or sister. The goal is never punishment—it's repentance, reconciliation, and restoration.

In the Kingdom, keys represent specific, timely, and divine revelations with which the Ekklesia has been given authority to bind and loose. This binding and loosing happens primarily through prayer, but not as a passive request, but a spiritual ruling issued from heaven's court. That's why Jesus taught us to pray: “Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.” This prayer is more than words—it is an alignment of earth with heaven. When we pray like this, we are agreeing with God's verdict and releasing His ruling into earthly situations.

Jesús reveló el secreto de la felicidad: servir con humildad, no buscar estatus; hay más dicha en dar que en recibir. Servir nace del altruismo, no del ego: considerar a otros primero y seguir el ejemplo de Jesús que lavó los pies. Dios dio dones a cada uno para usarlos en la comunidad; cuando todos sirven, el cuerpo crece sano y lleno de amor.

Matthew 16:18

Bible Prophecy Under the Microscope-Episode 55 Gary discusses the myth of "replacement theology." Critics claim that certain Christians are claiming that the Church "replaces" Israel in God's plan for the world. This is wrong historically, logically, and most importantly, theologically. Gary explains why in great depth with actual Bible passages.

¿Qué es la IGLESIA? No es un edificio... ¡Es un llamado! | Descubre el oro que Dios puso en ti La palabra "Ekklesia" significa mucho más que "iglesia": es un llamado hacia fuera de nosotros mismos, para vivir en comunidad, servir a otros y reflejar a Cristo en cada parte de nuestra vida. Si usamos los dones solo para nosotros, los estamos enterrando. ¡Dios depositó oro en vasos de barro! ¿Estás dispuesto a descubrirlo, desarrollarlo y darlo? En este mensaje aprenderás: Cómo descubrir tus dones en intimidad, comunidad y necesidad. Por qué la madurez espiritual no es perfección, sino autenticidad y obediencia. Qué significa dar fruto y edificar el cuerpo de Cristo. Cómo romper con el egoísmo, la autosuficiencia y la cultura de la inmediatez. “Pero tenemos este tesoro en vasos de barro…” – 2 Corintios 4:7 “...para que habite entre ellos JAH Dios.” – Salmo 68:18 “Si el grano no muere, queda solo… pero si muere, lleva mucho fruto.” – Juan 12:24 No fuiste creado para quedarte solo. Fuiste llamado a servir, crecer y edificar. ¡Descubre el oro que Dios puso en ti y entrégalo para Su gloria! #Iglesia #Ekklesia #DonesEspirituales #CuerpoDeCristo #LlamadoDeDios #MadurezEspiritual #Servicio #DevocionalCristiano

La generosidad demuestra nuestra fe y siembra esperanza en lo que Dios está construyendo. Tu aporte toca vidas reales: acerca a Jesús, sana corazones y restaura familias. No es obligación sino privilegio: decide dar con alegría y da un paso concreto esta semana.

This is what the cross did for us. Jesus has already defeated the enemy, disarmed every power, and given us authority: “It is finished” (Jn 19:30). “I give you authority over all the power of the enemy” (Luke 10:19) You are not a prisoner but an ambassador of a victorious King. Rise tall, walk in that truth, and become God's instrument to set others free.

La esperanza es el ingrediente esencial de la fe, sin ella la vida pierde dirección y propósito. La Biblia nos recuerda que la esperanza es un ancla firme para el alma, capaz de sostenernos aun en medio de la adversidad. Dios quiere restaurar nuestra esperanza para avanzar con fe, acción y confianza en que lo mejor está por venir.
