building our faith
Omar Soto
(Audio: Spanish)
SUMMARY: The message is about building up our faith and becoming more entrenched in our relationship with Jesus. The text suggested for this message is 2 Peter 1:3-7. The first step is having faith in the Lord Jesus, which leads to good conduct or virtue. Then, we should seek to understand God's will and have self-control, which includes submitting to God's actions in our lives and controlling our pride. Finally, we must add patience to our faith, which means persevering in our journey with God and being patient with ourselves.
The speaker discusses the importance of patience, piety, brotherly affection, and love in building a strong Christian faith. He emphasizes the need to align oneself with God's will, to show self-control and perseverance, and to demonstrate love and devotion to God and others. By incorporating these values into one's life, the speaker suggests that one can experience a more fruitful and fulfilling spiritual journey. The message is concluded with a prayer asking for God's blessings on the congregation.
I pray for God to bless each person leaving and returning home with a clear sense of His presence in their hearts and devotion to Him. May we rejoice together.

Let's go to the word of the Lord, my brothers, I am going to continue elaborating more or less in this line of theme. I have been talking about how we can grow more, become more entrenched in our relationship with Jesus, how we can get to know him more, how we can become more developed in our life of faith. And today I have a person who suggested a text to me by email.
Listen, let me make a parenthesis, by the way, I'm going to dare to do this. Because there are times when I get into a mental block and it seems like I don't get a topic to preach. I'm making a confession here. Look, you are going to say, how are you going to be a pastor, it is supposed to flow... No, no, it flows, but there are times when you know how it flows for me? When people tell me about biblical texts that they have been reading, studying, reflecting on. Or life situations that often share it, these can be capsules that can help me to be able to continue developing this line of messages. So I tell you, don't feel bad if at some point you tell me, listen pastor, I've been reflecting on this text, I'm going to suggest it to you to see, so it becomes my weekly meditation, so to speak.
