Is Jesus God?
Many say Jesus was a great teacher, others claim He was a fraud. Jesus Himself said He was God. To better understand who He is and why He walked the earth, you need to turn to the Bible. Click to [read more].
When Our Church Leaders Fail
Lately, news of church leaders’ failures have become common. We hear of pastors committing fraud, embezzling church money, or getting involved in scandals involving pornography or extramarital affairs.
Why My Sexuality No Longer Defines Me
Although I was born into a Christian family and lived in a majority-Christian city, my life wasn’t easy. Like most young people, I struggled with many problems, especially the search for a personal identity.
Move Aside BB-8, Here Comes Nadine
Nadine who? She’s a robot created by scientists at Singapore’s Nanyang Technological University who doesn’t look like C-3PO, R2-D2 or BB-8 (you wish). In fact, she has been billed as “the world’s most human-like robot”.

Jesus restores and cares for you and me
Psalm 23 begins by using sheep to illustrate the Good Shepherd’s tender care for us. But then David goes beyond the basics and into the deep recesses of the soul. Today on “Discover the Word,” we will talk about the meaning behind the words, “He restores my soul and guides me in the paths of righteousness.” During those times when we’re tired, anxious, or upset, Jesus gives us a restored sense of peace and rest. That’s today on “Discover the Word.”
Discovery Series - Live Free
There’s often confusion on what the fruit of the Spirit is and is not. It’s not a list of instructions of how we should live; rather the fruit are qualities we exhibit when we are empowered by the Holy Spirit. We are set free to live a new life in Christ, no longer indulging in selfish desires but enabled to serve…
Knowing Us Inside Out
A typical question I get asked as a psychology major is: “Can you read my mind?” (No prizes for guessing my answer.) Perhaps that is why I have thought about how wonderful it would be if I could actually read another person’s mind. I’m pretty sure I’m not the only person to think that way, which is why I think Disney’s latest Pixar offering, Inside Out, appeals to so many of us.
A Lesson from Taylor Swift’s Song
Lately, I’ve been really enjoying listening to Taylor Swift’s songs. Her tunes are catchy, and the lyrics easy to understand. In her song Everything has Changed, a person meets an old friend and realizes that she has fallen in love with him.
Ant-Man: Good Things Come in Small Packages
On paper, Marvel’s twelfth instalment, Ant-Man stands no chance against the other Marvel heavyweights. There’s nothing revolutionary about its bug suits, its advanced technology, or its shrinking powers. Yet, it manages to beat the bad guy on the big screen—by reducing its hero to a speck. Ant-Man, clearly, is no small (ahem) proof that good things come in small packages.
What I’ve learned from Minions
Some time ago, I went to the cinema with my friends to watch the antics of a bunch of cute, little pill-shaped yellow beings in blue jumpsuits. It was the movie Minions, a story about how these incompetent yet irresistible creatures met and entered the service of Gru, the reluctant hero of the Despicable Me franchise.
Gálatas-1 Corintios: Las Cartas Más Antiguas de Pablo
Las epístolas del Nuevo Testamento a los Gálatas y a los Tesalonicenses son las cartas más antiguas de Pablo que se conservan. En ellas Pablo comienza a establecer un fundamento teológico y conductual para la fe y el comportamiento cristiano. Este curso, Gálatas-1 Corintios: las cartas más antiguas de Pablo, sintetiza esos antiguos escritos.
1 y 2 Corintios: Dos Cartas a Una Iglesia Difícil
La iglesia de Corinto fue fundada en una cloaca moral. La gente que llegó a Cristo y formó parte de esa iglesia traía consigo un vagón cargado de un equipaje filosófico, religioso y moral que dio forma a una iglesia difícil. Las dos cartas que tenemos de Pablo a los corintios tratan algunos de los temas espirituales y morales más controversiales de toda la Biblia. Este curso, 1 y 2 Corintios: dos cartas a una iglesia difícil, contiene una ayuda esencial para la iglesia de todos los tiempos.
Padre Abraham
¿Por qué Moisés decidió contar la historia de Abraham de esa manera? ¿Qué significa para nosotros hoy? Este curso analiza Génesis 11:10-25:18, la vida de Abraham, desde una perspectiva cristiana. Estudia la estructura literaria, el significado para la audiencia original, y la aplicación moderna para nosotros hoy. Está basado en la serie de DVD de Third Millennium del Dr. Richard L. Pratt, Jr.
Romanos-Efesios: Carta a la Iglesia Romana y Cartas Desde una Prisión Romana
Roma era la capital del mundo. Aunque cuando Pablo escribió la carta a los cristianos en Roma todavía no había visitado esa ciudad, quería asegurarse de que supieran con claridad lo que el evangelio era realmente. En la carta a los Romanos vemos la gran declaración teológica de Pablo acerca de la salvación. Más tarde, Pablo estuvo preso en Roma mientras esperaba su juicio delante del César. Durante el tiempo que permaneció allí escribió cuatro cartas. En este curso, Romanos-Efesios: carta a la iglesia romana y cartas desde una prisión romana, estudiaremos las cartas que Pablo escribió a Roma y…
