definition year

Dr. Roberto Miranda
(Audio: Spanish)

SUMMARY: The word of the Lord for this year is a call to define ourselves and not to falter between two thoughts. We need to make a clear decision to follow God or follow the world, and not try to have both. This call to define ourselves applies not only to our beliefs, but also to our attitudes and actions. We must take a clear stand in our lives and commit to serving God wholeheartedly. As a church, we need to define ourselves and our beliefs in order to prepare for the great purpose that God has for us. We are a diverse congregation with people at different stages in their faith, but we must all strive to define ourselves and live for God.

The speaker talks about the importance of defining oneself in the Christian faith and in life. While the church is welcoming to new members, it is important to have a clear set of values and commitment to God. The speaker uses the story of Esther to illustrate the need for taking a stand and using one's gifts and position for God's purposes. The speaker also emphasizes the importance of defining oneself in all areas of life, such as in relationships and work. Finally, the speaker hopes for the completion of the church's sanctuary and urges the congregation to fulfill their commitment to God.


In this sermon, the speaker encourages the congregation to define themselves as part of the family of God and to live as a living sacrifice for Him. He urges them to be passionate and radical in their commitment to God, and to seek His glory in their lives. He emphasizes the importance of defining oneself and surrendering one's life to the Lord.


I want to share with you a thought from God's word for this year that I feel God has entrusted to me. In the book of First Kings, in Chapter 18, in verse 20. This is the word of the Lord for all of us at this time, in this year, a call from God for us as a Congregation, for my life, for your life specifically. Says:

“…Then Ahab summoned all the children of Israel and assembled the prophets on Mount Carmel. And Elijah approaching all the people said, ─ here begins what I believe is the word of the Lord for each one of us ─ “How long will you falter between two thoughts? If Jehovah is God, follow him, and if Baal, follow him." And the people did not answer a word…”
