"The Church That Changed the World"
Acts 11:19-26

‭‭Acts‬ ‭11‬:‭19‬-‭26‬‬
Now those who were scattered because of the persecution that arose over Stephen traveled as far as Phoenicia and Cyprus and Antioch, speaking the word to no one except Jews. But there were some of them, men of Cyprus and Cyrene, who on coming to Antioch spoke to the Hellenists also, preaching the Lord Jesus. And the hand of the Lord was with them, and a great number who believed turned to the Lord. The report of this came to the ears of the church in Jerusalem, and they sent Barnabas to Antioch. When he came and saw the grace of God, he was glad, and he exhorted them all to remain faithful to the Lord with steadfast purpose, for he was a good man, full of the Holy Spirit and of faith. And a great many people were added to the Lord. So Barnabas went to Tarsus to look for Saul, and when he had found him, he brought him to Antioch. For a whole year they met with the church and taught a great many people. And in Antioch the disciples were first called Christians.

‭‭Acts‬ ‭11‬:‭19‬-‭30‬‬
Now those who had been scattered as a result of the persecution that started because of Stephen made their way as far as Phoenicia, Cyprus, and Antioch, speaking the word to no one except Jews. But there were some of them, men from Cyprus and Cyrene, who came to Antioch and began speaking to the Greeks also, proclaiming the good news about the Lord Jesus. The Lord’s hand was with them, and a large number who believed turned to the Lord. News about them reached the church in Jerusalem, and they sent out Barnabas to travel as far as Antioch. When he arrived and saw the grace of God, he was glad and encouraged all of them to remain true to the Lord with devoted hearts, for he was a good man, full of the Holy Spirit and of faith. And large numbers of people were added to the Lord. Then he went to Tarsus to search for Saul, and when he found him he brought him to Antioch. For a whole year they met with the church and taught large numbers. The disciples were first called Christians at Antioch. In those days some prophets came down from Jerusalem to Antioch. One of them, named Agabus, stood up and predicted by the Spirit that there would be a severe famine throughout the Roman world. This took place during the reign of Claudius. Each of the disciples, according to his ability, determined to send relief to the brothers and sisters who lived in Judea. They did this, sending it to the elders by means of Barnabas and Saul.

Hechos 11:19-30

‭‭Hechos‬ ‭11‬:‭19‬-‭30‬‬
Ahora bien, los que habían sido esparcidos a causa de la persecución que hubo con motivo de Esteban, pasaron hasta Fenicia, Chipre y Antioquía, no hablando a nadie la palabra, sino solo a los judíos. Pero había entre ellos unos varones de Chipre y de Cirene, los cuales, cuando entraron en Antioquía, hablaron también a los griegos, anunciando el evangelio del Señor Jesús. Y la mano del Señor estaba con ellos, y gran número creyó y se convirtió al Señor. Llegó la noticia de estas cosas a oídos de la iglesia que estaba en Jerusalén; y enviaron a Bernabé que fuese hasta Antioquía. Este, cuando llegó, y vio la gracia de Dios, se regocijó, y exhortó a todos a que con propósito de corazón permaneciesen fieles al Señor. Porque era varón bueno, y lleno del Espíritu Santo y de fe. Y una gran multitud fue agregada al Señor. Después fue Bernabé a Tarso para buscar a Saulo; y hallándole, le trajo a Antioquía. Y se congregaron allí todo un año con la iglesia, y enseñaron a mucha gente; y a los discípulos se les llamó cristianos por primera vez en Antioquía. En aquellos días unos profetas descendieron de Jerusalén a Antioquía. Y levantándose uno de ellos, llamado Agabo, daba a entender por el Espíritu, que vendría una gran hambre en toda la tierra habitada; la cual sucedió en tiempo de Claudio. Entonces los discípulos, cada uno conforme a lo que tenía, determinaron enviar socorro a los hermanos que habitaban en Judea; lo cual en efecto hicieron, enviándolo a los ancianos por mano de Bernabé y de Saulo.

La primera vez que:
1. Se predicó a TODOS el Evangelio.
2. Se estableció una congregación para TODOS.
3. Se uso un nombre para TODOS los discípulos.

The first time that:
1. The Gospel was preached to ALL.
2. One congregation was established for ALL.
3. One name was used for ALL disciples.

Madres Que Marcan La Diferencia
Éxodo 2:1-10
==========

‭‭Éxodo‬ ‭2‬:‭1‬-‭10‬‬
Un varón de la familia de Leví fue y tomó por mujer a una hija de Leví, la que concibió, y dio a luz un hijo; y viéndole que era hermoso, le tuvo escondido tres meses. Pero no pudiendo ocultarle más tiempo, tomó una arquilla de juncos y la calafateó con asfalto y brea, y colocó en ella al niño y lo puso en un carrizal a la orilla del río. Y una hermana suya se puso a lo lejos, para ver lo que le acontecería. Y la hija de Faraón descendió a lavarse al río, y paseándose sus doncellas por la ribera del río, vio ella la arquilla en el carrizal, y envió una criada suya a que la tomase. Y cuando la abrió, vio al niño; y he aquí que el niño lloraba. Y teniendo compasión de él, dijo: De los niños de los hebreos es este. Entonces su hermana dijo a la hija de Faraón: ¿Iré a llamarte una nodriza de las hebreas, para que te críe este niño? Y la hija de Faraón respondió: Ve. Entonces fue la doncella, y llamó a la madre del niño, a la cual dijo la hija de Faraón: Lleva a este niño y críamelo, y yo te lo pagaré. Y la mujer tomó al niño y lo crio. Y cuando el niño creció, ella lo trajo a la hija de Faraón, la cual lo prohijó, y le puso por nombre Moisés, diciendo: Porque de las aguas lo saqué.

‭‭Hebreos‬ ‭12‬:‭24‬-‭27‬‬
a Jesús el Mediador del nuevo pacto, y a la sangre rociada que habla mejor que la de Abel. Mirad que no desechéis al que habla. Porque si no escaparon aquellos que desecharon al que los amonestaba en la tierra, mucho menos nosotros, si desecháremos al que amonesta desde los cielos. La voz del cual conmovió entonces la tierra, pero ahora ha prometido, diciendo: Aún una vez, y conmoveré no solamente la tierra, sino también el cielo. Y esta frase: Aún una vez, indica la remoción de las cosas movibles, como cosas hechas, para que queden las inconmovibles.

‭‭Números‬ ‭26‬:‭59‬‬
La mujer de Amram se llamó Jocabed, hija de Leví, que le nació a Leví en Egipto; esta dio a luz de Amram a Aarón y a Moisés, y a María su hermana.

1. Enseñó a sus hijos a tener Confianza en Dios (2:3-4)

2. Enseñó a sus hijos A tener Convicciones firmes (2:5-6)

3. Enseñó a sus hijos a tomar Correctas Decisiones (2:7-10)

‭‭Exodus‬ ‭2‬:‭1‬-‭10‬‬
Now a man from the house of Levi went and took as his wife a Levite woman. The woman conceived and bore a son, and when she saw that he was a fine child, she hid him three months. When she could hide him no longer, she took for him a basket made of bulrushes and daubed it with bitumen and pitch. She put the child in it and placed it among the reeds by the river bank. And his sister stood at a distance to know what would be done to him. Now the daughter of Pharaoh came down to bathe at the river, while her young women walked beside the river. She saw the basket among the reeds and sent her servant woman, and she took it. When she opened it, she saw the child, and behold, the baby was crying. She took pity on him and said, “This is one of the Hebrews’ children.” Then his sister said to Pharaoh’s daughter, “Shall I go and call you a nurse from the Hebrew women to nurse the child for you?” And Pharaoh’s daughter said to her, “Go.” So the girl went and called the child’s mother. And Pharaoh’s daughter said to her, “Take this child away and nurse him for me, and I will give you your wages.” So the woman took the child and nursed him. When the child grew older, she brought him to Pharaoh’s daughter, and he became her son. She named him Moses, “Because,” she said, “I drew him out of the water.”

Love Never Fails

‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭13‬:‭6‬-‭8‬‬
Love finds no joy in unrighteousness but rejoices in the truth. It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never ends. But as for prophecies, they will come to an end; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will come to an end.

1. Love Covers For You

2. Love Believes In You

3. Love Sees God In You

4. Love Stays Beside You

LOVE NEVER FAILS
