Need help? Raise your gaze to the mountains!
Samuel Pagán
(Audio: Spanish)
SUMMARY: Dr. Samuel Pagán and his wife, Dr. Noemí Pagán, are visiting the Lion of Judah church in Boston. Dr. Pagán is an Old Testament scholar, author of 25 books, and has been president of the theological seminary of Puerto Rico. He has also been the main translator for international bible societies. Dr. Noemí Pagán is a book editor and a woman of God. They bring greetings from various communities around the world, including the Mapudungun in Chile, the Garífuna in Honduras, the people of Bethlehem, and the millions of Chinese Christians. Dr. Pagán speaks about the power of psalms, using examples from Cervantes' Don Quixote, and encourages listeners to trust in the Lord.
Naomi shares a story about a young woman named Miguelina from Bethlehem who inspired her with her trust in God amidst the difficult situation in Palestine. She reminds us of Psalm 121, which tells us to look to the mountains and trust that our help comes from the Lord, the creator of heaven and earth. She encourages us to face our problems with authority in the name of the Lord and to never magnify them, but instead tell the problem how big our God is. She also reminds us that mountains in the Bible are symbols of God's interventions.
In this sermon, the pastor discusses the importance of looking to God for help and guidance, rather than relying on worldly sources such as friends, politicians, or banks. He emphasizes that God has the power to save us and protect us from all evil, and encourages his congregation to trust in God's plan for their lives. He also references biblical examples of mountains representing God's interventions and promises, and encourages his listeners to lift their hands in worship and prayer. The pastor offers to pray for anyone making important decisions that affect their family or future, and encourages them to come to the altar for private prayer.

Dr. Samuel Pagán, his wife, Dr. Noemí Pagán, are a team, people of God that God is using in an extraordinary way. Dr. Pagán came to what used to be the Central Baptist Church, many years ago, about 15 years ago, I think, he came to Cambridge at that time and he was there with us for a glorious weekend, I have always remembered him.
And the Lord has allowed him to come again with his wife this time, to the Lion of Judah here in Boston. How good is the Lord.
