Genesis 21:8-21 Outside of the book of Genesis, the word “Abraham” appears in the Bible 142 times. Compare that with Sarah, which appears 24 times, and Hagar who only appears 3 times—once in Baruch and twice in Galatians. Given that father Abraham is remembered for the covenant God makes with him to provide descendants as…
Génesis 1: 1-2: 4a Las historias de la creación en la Biblia son algunas de las narrativas enigmáticas y disputadas en la historia. Innumerables eruditos y ávidos lectores de las Escrituras han intentado arrojar luz sobre el significado detrás de la versión judía del origen de los seres humanos y del mundo tal como lo…
Genesis 1:1-2:4a The stories of creation in the Bible are a few of the enigmatic and disputed narratives in history. Countless scholars and avid readers of the Scriptures have attempted to shed light on the meaning behind the Jewish version of the origin of human beings and the world as we know it. Amidst all…
Hechos 2:1-21 El Espíritu Santo da poder a la gente de muchas maneras diferentes, pero estos dones llevan con ellos la responsabilidad de compartirlos con los demás. Por la gracia de Dios, el Espíritu Santo otorga a algunos la capacidad de soportar grandes pruebas y la adversidad (vea Jueces) y otros la inspiración para ver…
Acts 2:1-21 The Holy Spirit empowers people in many different ways, but these gifts carry with them a responsibility to share them with others.

Hechos 1:6-14 En este punto de la Escritura, los discípulos han dedicado los más recientes años de sus vidas a seguir a Jesús. Durante esos años, han sido testigos de cosas sorprendentes: curaciones, la recuperación de la vista, abundancia a partir de nada (cinco hogazas de pan y dos peces), calma de tempestades e incluso…
Acts 1:6-14 At this point in Scripture, the disciples have devoted the last few years of their lives to following Jesus. During those years, they have witnessed amazing things: healings, the recovery of sight, abundance from nothing (five loaves and two fish), calming storms, and even raising people from the dead. And when all their…
Hechos 17:22-31 El libro de los Hechos marca un cambio desde el enfoque del evangelio en los actos de Jesús a un énfasis en la vida de la iglesia primitiva. Este pasaje contiene el discurso de Pablo a los atenienses en el que revela la identidad del “Dios desconocido”. El contexto de este discurso ofrece…
Acts 7:55-60 The ministry, arrest, and death of Jesus echo through the story of Stephen. The apostles who knew Jesus prayed over and laid hands on Stephen to commission him in his ministry. Stephen’s work following the way of Jesus threatened the established power structure and authorities; he was arrested, brought before the council and…
Acts 17:22-31 In this passage, we see Paul addressing an audience almost exclusively made up of Gentiles in a Greek setting where Christianity is foreign, the concept of a monotheistic God is laughable and the idea of resurrection downright ridiculous. Paul is speaking a foreign concept to an audience that is curious, yet skeptical. Aren’t…
Hechos 7: 55-60 El ministerio, el arresto y la muerte de Jesús son eco de la historia de Esteban. Los apóstoles, que conocieron a Jesús, oraron y pusieron las manos sobre Esteban para comisionarlo en su ministerio. El trabajo de Esteban siguiendo el camino de Jesús amenazó a la estructura del poder y a las…
Hechos 2: 42-47 Durante la estación de Pascua, se usan las lecturas del libro de Hechos de los Apóstoles en vez de lecturas del Antiguo Testamento porque muestran la respuesta temprana de la iglesia a la resurrección de Cristo. En su contexto más amplio, el texto asignado para la Pascua 4A sirve como una transición…
