A God who decided to suffer… And to enjoy!
Without a doubt, one of the most beautiful names of Jesus is Emmanuel, God with us. I never cease to marvel as I draw near to the astonishing reality of a God who did not ask us to “become divine,” knowing our inability to do so, but instead chose to become human.

It is time to turn back to Jesus
When you hear the testimonies of others who prayed all night, fasted for 40 days, evangelized and won thousands of people to Christ, healed the sick, memorized the entire Bible, and you feel pressured to get to their level, it is time to turn back to Jesus.

When People Search for God in Their Phones
A few weeks ago, The New York Times published an article titled “Finding God in the App Store.” It described how millions of people around the world are turning to chatbots and religious apps to find guidance, comfort, and forgiveness. These tools, trained on sacred texts, have become digital companions for those who seek hope, prayer, or understanding at any hour of the day or night.

Coffee? with David? What?
One of the things that excites me most in ministry is creating spaces for conversation. Sometimes Sunday mornings go by too quickly and there is not enough time to talk, to ask questions, or to reflect together. That is why I am starting something very special with you, Coffee with David.

Resting
From the very beginning, the Bible tells us that after creating the heavens and the earth, God rested on the seventh day. This is a detail we often rush past, but it holds a beautiful truth. Pastor Edgardo Peña, once pointed out that the very last thing God created was the human being, and immediately after came God’s rest. What if this means that the rest of God is not an empty silence or a distance from creation. Rather, God's rest happens with us present. In other words, we are God’s rest.

We continue our series on spiritual maturity, focusing on how it relates to leadership and service in the church.

They echo the tensions we see in the earliest Christian communities, where new believers wrestled with how to follow Jesus in the midst of diverse backgrounds and expectations.
