7 Ways Satan Has Gone to War during COVID-19

5 Ways to Protect Yourself from His Schemes: Slide 6 of 6 Be aware. Stay alert. “Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.” (1 Peter 5:8) Submit to God’s authority. Be ruthless with sin, which is an open door for the enemy to work. Resist him and he has to flee. “Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.” (James 4:7) Know that in Christ, we are forgiven. You are set free. You have His mighty power working within you. You are more than a conqueror through Christ. “No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.” (Romans 8:37) Put on the armor of God every day. Pray. Take up His word, the sword of the Spirit, which is our only off...

How to Talk to Your Kids about the Tragedies of COVID-19

ATUALIDADES, Estudos Bíblicos

5. Monitor Their Media Consumption This mostly applies to older kids that have access to the internet. As an adult reading the news online is overwhelming, confusing, and the facts are hard to find—let alone this burden for a child. We need to make sure we are taking the lead on helping our kids process the news. We need to determine which sources are comfortable with them getting information from and also need to limit the amount of time they spend consuming news media. If we don’t keep tabs on what information they are consuming from the internet, it’s very possible they could be overwhelmed by the tragedy that fills the headlines. Even the commercials on Hulu come with scenes of empty parking lots or packed hospitals. Make sure you open up a conversation about what images they hav...

Paz Extravagante

ATUALIDADES, Estudos Bíblicos

Atos 2:1-11 Chegando o dia de Pentecostes, estavam todos reunidos num só lugar. De repente veio do céu um som, como de um vento muito forte, e encheu toda a casa na qual estavam assentados. E viram o que parecia línguas de fogo, que se separaram e pousaram sobre cada um deles. Todos ficaram cheios do Espírito Santo e começaram a falar noutras línguas, conforme o Espírito os capacitava. Havia em Jerusalém judeus, tementes a Deus, vindos de todas as nações do mundo. Ouvindo-se este som, ajuntou-se uma multidão que ficou perplexa, pois cada um os ouvia falar em sua própria língua. Atônitos e maravilhados, eles perguntavam: “Acaso não são galileus todos estes homens que estão falando? Então, como os ouvimos, cada um de nós, em nossa própria língua materna? Partos, medos e elamitas; habitantes ...

10 Real Fears Surrounding COVID-19 and How God Answers Them All

ATUALIDADES, Estudos Bíblicos

9. Loneliness from Isolation Slide 5 of 5 One of the effects of stay-at-home mandates is the rise of suicide and problems with addiction. Even those who don’t suffer from severe depression struggle with maintaining mental health. In some places, it’s against the executive orders to even go outside for a walk. What is a person to do? The Bible tells us. 1 Kings 19:4 records the suicidal depression Elijah suffered as a result of feeling isolated. In verse 6, God sent him food and water. Then in verses 12-16, God spoke to Elijah and gave him a job to do—a purpose for living. Elijah had been looking for God in dramatic events. But instead, He came in a whisper. The message for Elijah was to get enough good food to sustain him and stop looking for God’s purpose in something big—go do the normal...

Haggai: A Big Lesson from a Small Book

ATUALIDADES, Estudos Bíblicos

Why Does This Matter Today? Why should we care about what a prophet back in 520 BC had to say? Well, not only does his book exist in the biblical canon, making it God-breathed (2 Timothy 3:16-17), useful for teaching, correcting, and training in righteousness, but we can see many applications in our world today. Sure, we didn’t have a group of Babylonians ransack our city. But we have experienced a great deal of destruction, from the hands of humans to natural disasters to pandemics such as COVID-19. When it comes time for us to rebuild from tragedy, Satan will try to step in. He will try to prevent Christians from spreading the Gospel and try to hinder healing efforts. During such moments, we can remind ourselves of the prophet Haggai. Like him, we have witnessed great destruction. But al...

Celebrando Com Alegria a Reconstrução do Templo

ATUALIDADES, Estudos Bíblicos

Texto: Esdras 6:13-22Introdução: Depois que os israelitas retornaram a Jerusalém, restauraram o altar e lançaram o fundamento do templo. Tão logo eles determinaram reconstruir o templo eles encontraram muita oposição (Esdras 4). Aqueles que se opuseram à reconstrução do templo eram samaritanos, descendentes das raças mestiças. Eles se estabeleceram na terra após a captura dos judeus e ao ouvir que os judeus estavam construindo o templo, solicitaram Zorobabel para ajudar com a obra (Esdras 4:2). Zorobabel e Jesuá responderam: "Não convém que vós e nós edifiquemos casa a nosso Deus: mas nós sozinhos a edificaremos ao Senhor..." (Esdras 4:3). Se somos tentados a pensar que Zorobabel e Jesuá estavam sendo teimosos ou agindo de maneira superior a esses samaritanos, devemos pensar duas vezes s...

Is There a Godly Way to Date during Quarantine?

ATUALIDADES, Estudos Bíblicos

5. Attend Church Online Together Slide 5 of 5 These are unprecedented times. There have been mass layoffs, graduations have been canceled and businesses closed. It’s forced people to find innovative ways to connect. In response we’ve seen drop off baby showers, mini weddings, people working from home, and teachers facilitating online classes. And the church isn’t far off. Hebrews 10:24-25 encourages us to “... consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching” (NIV). While stay orders and health guidelines can keep us from meeting in person, we can still attend church virtually. Technology makes it possible for couples to wors...

ATUALIDADES, Estudos Bíblicos

7. My Big, Fat, Greek Wedding Oh, you’ve got to love family, which is sometimes impossible for Toula (Nia Vardalos), given she is in the midst of a big, fat, Greek family. This makes it even harder to have a dating life, which Toula finds with endearing teacher Ian (John Corbett) and tries to hide until he proposes.

Toula spends the majority of the film ashamed by her family and their quirky ways, especially in how different they are from Ian’s straight-laced parents, but as her wedding draws closer, she begins to learn and respect more of the family dynamic she shunned for so long. Nothing is more meaningful than when her disapproving father buys Toula and Ian a house as a wedding present, and she heartily embraces her fath...

9 Ways to Choose Courage during the COVID-19 Crisis

ATUALIDADES, Estudos Bíblicos

8. Always Keep Growing Stronger Slide 6 of 6 Someone much older and wiser than me once said, “Silently and imperceptibly as we work or sleep, we grow strong or we grow weak; and at least some crisis shows us what we have become” (B. F. Westcott). He added that crises “do not make heroes or cowards; they simply reveal them.” So, what kind of man are you becoming? Are you becoming a man of backbone, boldness, determination, durability, faithfulness, fortitude, grit, guts, mettle, moxie, patience, persistence, resilience, resolution, stamina, staying power, steadfastness, straightforwardness, stick-to-it-iveness, tenacity, and toughness? What’s more, do you know the meaning of adversity, bravery, conviction, discipline, endurance, fearlessness, gratitude, hardship, insult, joy, keeping the fa...
