La adoración desde una perspectiva sistemática, spiritual, y mental fue compartida en una serie de conferencias por Sun Valley City Church en California como parte del proyecto denominado “Una Guía de Ministerio para las Iglesias y Pastores.” Además, la conferencia incluyó otros temas como la predicación y el liderazgo. Lo que hicieron fue crear las enseñanzas para el beneficio interno de la congregación, pero también para compartirlas con pastores y líderes de otras iglesias.

Uno de los temas sugeridos para el segundo tiempo ordinario del calendario litúrgico es el de la misión cristiana. En este mes y el siguiente, sugerimos una serie de reflexiones que nos ayudarán a pensar y poner en práctica nuestra misión en el seno de nuestros países y sociedades. Estos estudios se pueden usar como sermones o bien como estudios bíblicos (de allí su formato que incluye datos de trasfondo histórico de los textos bíblicos, algunas citas de documentos y autores latinoamericanos, un análisis somero del texto y algunas preguntas finales para discusión en grupos pequeños) que esperamos nos estimulen a vivir como pueblo de Dios ante los desafíos que enfrentamos cotidianamente.

The Nepali Reformed Churches are learning about biblical ecclesiology and shepherd leadership to become more Christ-centered and to prepare for a potentially turbulent future. Churches around the world can apply this learning in their own contexts.

Higher Ground Nepal is a social enterprise that includes people from all walks of life in Nepal. Proselytizing is not allowed in Nepal, but when people see others living as the genuine presence of Christ in people’s situations, it makes a difference.

Nepali Reformed Churches pastor Arbin Pokharel often describes worship as helping worshipers reenact their identity as God’s people. Doing so honestly means including hospitality, healing, prayer, celebration, and lament.

El proyecto “Semillas de Adoración,” que puso en marcha Van Nuys United Methodist Church, permitió la integración de personas de diferentes trasfondos étnicos y generacionales, con singular éxito. Porque gracias a las estrategias que esta congregación ejecutó, pudieron transmitir la enseñanza, y hacerlo como un solo cuerpo al momento de aprender y de adorar, creando una fuerte experiencia entre todas las personas involucradas.

Young adults with intellectual disability (ID) often feel left out, even at church. But schools, churches, and agencies can work together to create a sense of belonging that nurtures everyone. Inclusive postsecondary education increases opportunity for employment, independent living, and sharing God-given gifts.

Churches sometimes ignore or separate children and adults with intellectual disability from general church worship and congregational life. But schools, service agencies, and churches can expand one another’s imaginations about what’s possible for and with people with intellectual and development disabilities. Even small congregations can experience the joy of learning to include all abilities in the body of Christ.

Many Christians are wary about rapid advances in artificial intelligence (AI). Some think AI has nothing to do with faith or the Bible. Others worry that AI will take over the world. Computer science scholar Derek Schuurman discusses how to connect bytes and beliefs.

You are probably used to artificial intelligence (AI) suggesting ways to complete sentences in your emails and texts. Now that AI has the capacity to write sermons and mimic emotional care, how should AI be used in churches?

Churches sometimes see themselves as inclusive simply because they have attendees from group homes. But true inclusion means getting to know people as individuals with gifts to offer in God’s family.
