El mundo de hoy les dice a los adolescentes que transiten por la vida con un espejo delante de sus rostros. Cuestionan su apariencia, su imagen y su aceptación todo el tiempo, pensando que una publicación más en las redes sociales podría atraer la atención de la gente. El dinero y las posesiones se convierten en insignias de riqueza y valor que los adolescentes compiten por llevar. Esta obsesión con el ego puede dar un giro oscuro, tornándose en depresión o en suicidio. Vivir con la vista puesta solo en uno mismo conduce a una cosa: la muerte.

Dios ofrece una alternativa al espejo. Cuando Dios gobierna sus vidas, él da vuelta todas las cosas. Su reino no se parece en nada a los caminos del mundo, ya que todo gira en torno a amarlo y servir a los demás. Acumular posesiones se vuelve algo obsoleto, y el dinero tiene un valor diferente en la economía de Dios. Reconocerlo como rey cambia nuestras vidas por completo.

En esta serie, Jonathan Evans guiará a los estudiantes a través de las parábolas en Lucas para enseñarles qué significa que Dios gobierne nuestras vidas. Si bien una vida entregada para Cristo puede parecer una locura para los demás, nos conduce a la vida que Dios quiso para nosotros desde que nos creó. Cuando Dios es rey, él contrarresta la maldición y pone de cabeza todo lo que conocemos. Solo tenemos que decidir seguir su dirección.

Storms in life are inevitable. We all face them at some point or another. Our concerns cause us to run to what we believe will rescue us—and that’s not always God. Sometimes we look to our own strength, our bank account, our reputation, or a relationship. Storms always lead us to what we look to for salvation—and what we look to makes all the difference.

In this one-session series, pastor Jonathan Evans takes a fresh look at the Parable of the Builders and reminds us of the importance of building our lives on the solid foundation of God’s Word. We must dig deep and build our foundation on the rock of God’s Word. And when the storm comes, we must hold onto our loving Father who will carry us through to safety.

Every one of us will have to face eternity—to look across the chasm of death to life beyond. For those of us who have chosen to follow Jesus, we look forward to an eternity filled with joy and free from sorrow. The guarantee of eternity means we can live every day on this earth not for our own gain, but for the benefit of God’s kingdom. Let's use what we’ve been given in the time we have to proclaim the gospel of Jesus to ourselves, our disciples, and the world.
