Zazueta tocara un tema muy cercano a su corazon, y al corazon de Dios: la santidad de la vida humana.

Selected Scriptures / January 13-14, 2026 Abortion will be in the forefront of our nation's political and legal future for years to come.

Enero 14, 2026 - Usualmente las despedidas estan llenas de consejos, ultimas peticiones, disculpas y a veces lagrimas. Lo cierto es que cuando el apostol Pablo se despidio de sus hermanos, en definitiva, hubo consejos, al igual que un llamado al servicio. Hoy estudiaremos el libro de los Hechos, y pondremos una atencion especial a lo que el apostol Pablo queria inculcar a sus hijos espirituales.

James 1:26Complaining never happens solo. When you complain, you not only discourage yourself but those around you. Listen to yourself today. Are you impacting those around you with complaints or with encouragement?

Aprendamos de Jesus! Impactemos nuestras comunidades con actos sencillos de servicio y amor.

James 5:16Intimacy is rooted in honesty. Acknowledging wrongdoing is the first step towards recovering intimacy because you've been honest. Is there someone you need to make things right with?

Genesis 22:1-14 / January 9-12, 2026 Letting go is always difficult. And the closer we are to the thing (or person) being released, the more difficult it is to let go. We must hold everything loosely. Some of the most poignant examples of letting go come in the context of parent-child relationships. Upon receiving God's command to offer his son as a sacrifice, Abraham let Isaac go and obeyed without resistance, illustrating his allegiance to God above all.

Zazueta continuara con otro mensaje de la serie titulada: En que puedo servirle?, y analizara la relacion entre el servicio y la obediencia.

Colossians 3:12I'm wrong. I'm sorry. Please forgive me. I love you. These 12 simple words can add a whole new dimension to your marriage. Humility is an attitude—of the heart and of the mind. It puts the other person first.

Enero 09, 2026 - El egoismo. El egoismo es nuestro enemigo numero uno. Desde que el primer ser humano camino en esta tierra, ese fue su peor enemigo. Muchas personas han caminado en este mundo, pero los que realmente han ocasionado un cambio y hasta han transformado generaciones, son aquellos que se han sacrificado a si mismos, no aquellos que han sido egoistas.

Psalms 97:9We live in a world where the line between right and wrong, truth and error is blurred. Add to that biblical illiteracy and an embrace of postmodernism and you have a culture based on secular thinking where self is exalted above all else.

Genesis 4:1-15 / January 7-8, 2026 The story of Cain and Abel is tossed around rather generally in both Christian and non-Christian circles. Many folks are aware of the big picture aspect of the account—namely, that the older brother murdered the younger—but beyond that, little is known and even less is applied to everyday life. But woven within and between the lines of this amazing story are several insights that await our discovery.

Enero 08, 2026 - "Sea el numero uno!" "Obtenga lo que usted quiera!". Se ha dado cuenta que esta es la ideologia de este mundo. El egoismo. El servirnos a nosotros mismos. A diferencia del mundo, Dios nos llama a servirle primeramente a El. Y despues a otros. Es una idea revolucionaria, ejemplificada hace mas de dos mil anos por Jesus. Si, el mismo hijo de Dios, quien vino a servir y a dar. Quiere tomar hoy la estafeta y seguir sus pasos?

1 John 2:16We live in a world that says there is neither right nor wrong, and only relative truth. To avoid being swept along by postmodernism you'll need the discernment and direction found in the Bible.

Enero 07, 2026 - Usted quiere ser parte del grupo privilegiado? No esta solo. Los discipulos de Jesus tambien querian ser reconocidos. Es mas, un par de ellos querian ser colocados, uno a su lado derecho y el otro a su lado izquierdo. A lo que Jesus respondio: "el que quiera hacerse grande entre ustedes debera ser su servidor". El tema del servicio no es un tema muy popular. Sin embargo, toda iglesia debe estar fundamentada en hombres y mujeres que tengan un corazon de servicio. Es un valor que no se puede pasar por alto, ni en la iglesia, ni en la casa...de hecho, en ningun lado.

1 Corinthians 5:9-10Loving the world means getting caught up in the attitudes and values that characterize our world...things that can lead to addictions and destroy you spiritually, physically, and emotionally. But that doesn't mean you're supposed to live in isolation and live a plain, drab life.

2 Samuel 23, 1 Chronicles 11-12 / January 5-6, 2026 Somewhere back in time, you and I were given a faulty set of instructions. Somewhere we learned that only the most famous or the star athlete or the most publicly gifted individual is worth our time and attention, our respect and our loudest applause. But in reality, if it wasn't for the people who surround them, these well-known individuals would quickly fade in popularity and become among the most commonplace.

Enero 06, 2026 - Hablemos francamente,todos queremos ser lideres, pero cuando se trata de ser siervos...ahi nos detenmos. No es cierto? Dios quiere transformarnos a la imagen de su hijo Jesus, quien era un lider con corazon de siervo. Asi que presteme su oido, porque le aseguro que si pone en practica el servicio autentico que modelo Jesus, su vida y su liderazgo seran verdaderamente transformados.

1 John 4:7-8A cross around a neck, an “ichthus” fish on the back of a car, a well-crafted sermon. None of these is the mark of a Christian—it is love. Like the old song says, “They will know we are Christians by our love.” Honest, transparent love.

Enero 05, 2026 - Todos queremos afianzarnos a algo o alguien que creemos indispensable. A algo que amamos. Ya sea gente, vocacion o suenos. En un momento u otro todos hemos sido culpables. Sin embargo, es en estas circunstancias en las que Dios dice: "Suelta y dejalo ir!" Este requerimiento lo vemos en la historia de Abraham, el hombre a quien Dios llamo "amigo". Y es en esta historia en la que hemos basado el estudio de hoy.

1 John 2:15-17You may be tempted to isolate yourself from the world but we're meant to live in it. People need to see the reality of Christ in you. The answer's not isolation, it's insulation.

Luke 9:22-25 / January 1-2, 2026 No one wants to look back at the end of the year and see wasted time. No one hopes to drift aimlessly through life, doing things without at least some lasting value. The difficulty lies in the fact many of us simply don't know what we need to do to give life purpose. Well, Jesus has three answers—three “musts”—for each of us.

Enero 02, 2026 - Alrededor de quien o de que se construye su vida diaria? Su conyuge, sus hijos, su negocio, sus posesiones? Que pasaria si uno de estos pilares se desplomara? A pesar de que nos gustaria dejar atras los problemas y dificultades junto con este ano que acabamos de despedir, en ocasiones estos nos siguen aun en el ano nuevo. Pues la realidad es que todos podemos enfrentar situaciones dificiles en cualquier instante. Circunstancias que ponen una presion inimaginable en nuestra fe.

Philippians 4:4-9, James 4:13-15 / December 29-31, 2025 There are days when it's wise for us to stop and look and listen. We scrutinize our lives, examine Scripture, and spend extended time in prayer as we gain a clearer sense of what God is doing in our lives and what He has for us in the future. As the new year rolls around, take some time for reflection and renewal. Start today. From the Series: Time to Reflect and to Renew read more
