Lucas 15 — La Parábola Del Hermano Mayor (sermón Nvi) Lucas 15 — La Parábola del Hermano Mayor (Traducción pastoral al español usando la NVI para los textos bíblicos) Introducción Abra su Biblia en Lucas capítulo 15. Quiero que vayamos despacio. Lucas 15 contiene uno de los pasajes más conocidos y queridos de toda la Escritura, comúnmente —y yo diría incorrectamente— llamado “La parábola del hijo pródigo”. Ese título suena familiar, pero nos hace perder el punto principal. Porque cuando Jesús cuenta esta historia, no está hablando principalmente del hijo pródigo....

Denial Principle 1: Realize I’m not God. I admit that I am powerless to control my tendency to do the wrong thing and that my life is unmanageable. “Happy are those who know they are spiritually poor.” (Matthew 5:3) Step 1: We admitted we were powerless over our addictions and compulsive behaviors, that our lives had become unmanageable. “I know that nothing good lives in me, that is, in my sinful nature. For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out.” (Romans 7:18) What is Denial? Denial is a false system of...

Lesson 26 – Ministry Opportunities (Mark 10:42-45) Principle 8: Yield myself to God to be used to bring this Good News to others, both by my example and by my words. "Happy are those who are persecuted because they do what God requires!” Matthew 5:10 (TEV) Step 12: Having had a spiritual experience as the result of these steps, we tried to carry this message to others, and practice these principles in all our affairs. “Brothers, if someone is caught in a sin, you who are spiritual should restore him gently. But watch yourself, or you also may be tempted.”...

Principle 2:
Earnestly believe that God exists, that I matter to Him, and that He has the power to help me recover.
“Happy are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.”
Matthew 5:4 (TEV)
Step 2:
We came to believe that a power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.
“For it is God who works in you to will and to act according to His good purpose.” Philippians 2:13 (NIV)
4. Don’t just think – do, and don’t just do – think.
a. We need both in our lives. I compare “think – do, do – think” living to Applied Learning. Applied Learning is the hands-on, experiential approach to education that emphasizes learning by doing. We can memorize facts, and study the Bible, but without applying thinking to real-world problems and scenarios then we have missed the point.
b. There are five levels to “think – do, do – think.” (1) What you know; (2) how you see things; (3) what you believe; (4) who you are; and (5) what you can do.
i. We must love knowledge and we must teach others to love knowledge.
5. Be ye doers of the Word.
a. You only believe the parts of the Bible that you do. We all need to go and do those things that the Spirit of God has convicted us to do.
i. What you believe determines how you behave - faith moves, it doesn't just listen.
6. Trust God to expand your thinking.
a. Everything in life begins with a dream. Someone has to imagine something before it can become reality. Become a great Godly dreamer and help your purpose come to life for the glory of God.
i. God plants our dreams and fatih brings them to life.
Here is an acrostic for THINK:
b. T – Test every thought.
c. H – Helmet your head.
d. I – Imagine great thoughts.
e. N – Nourish a godly mind.
f. K – Keep on learning.
