Six challenges for today

Andrés Cisterna

(Audio: Spanish)

SUMMARY: The church faces continuous challenges that require virtues from Christians. Perseverance is necessary to maintain faith, and unity is important for a sense of team and to appear as a single body. Humility involves submitting to God and respecting others. Obedience is essential to depend on God, and joy is a characteristic that transcends the walls of the church. The joy of the Lord brings a character of a loving and tender Christ. Christians should strive to maintain unity, humility, obedience, and joy in order to glorify God.

The speaker encourages the audience to find joy in the Lord and reflect on the model of life that Christ invites us to live. They challenge the church to be faithful witnesses and ambassadors of the kingdom of God, so that others may come to know salvation in Jesus Christ. The message is concluded with a prayer for blessings in the name of Jesus.

Today I want to talk to you about some challenges and virtues that we Christians have to demonstrate or show to the world, and why not among ourselves. The church faces continuous challenges for which we must use the virtues that the church or that we have received from God. Philippians chapter 1 verses 27 to 30. I want to invite you to review and consider some of these challenges that are mentioned by the apostle Paul.

Philippians chapter 1 verses 27 to 30, says: "Only behave as is worthy of the gospel of Christ, so that whether I come to see you or be absent, I may hear from you that you are firm in one spirit fighting with one accord for the faith of the gospel, and in no way intimidated by those who oppose it, which for them certainly is an indication of perdition, but for you of salvation and this of God, because it is granted to you not only to believe in Him, but also to suffer for Him. Having the same conflict that you have seen in me and now you hear that there is in me."
