Thrive
Thrive Faith Formation Tip - As one year ends and another begins, pause for a time of taking spiritual inventory with your family, friends, or on your own. Ask questions like these: Where did we see God this year? Where did we resist growth? Where do we feel God is calling us next? Consider writing a prayer of release and a prayer of commitment to guide your transition into the new year. Brought to you by Thrive: crcna.org/Thrive
Consejo de Formación en la Fe – Thrive - Al terminar un año y comenzar otro, tómese un momento para hacer un inventario espiritual con su familia, amigos o en solitario. Pregúntese: ¿Dónde vimos a Dios este año? ¿Dónde resistimos el crecimiento? ¿Hacia dónde sentimos que Dios nos está llamando ahora? Considere escribir una oración de entrega y una oración de compromiso que le ayuden a hacer la transición al nuevo año. Presentado por Thrive: crcna.org/Thrive
Thrive 신앙 훈련 팁 - 한 해의 끝과 새해의 시작을 맞아, 가족이나 친구들과 함께 또는 혼자서 영적 점검의 시간을 가져보세요. 다음과 같은 질문을 함께 나눠 보세요. 올해 우리는 어디에서 하나님을 경험했는가? 어떤 부분에서 성장을 주저했는가? 하나님께서는 지금 우리를 어디로 부르고 계신가? 새해를 맞으며 한해를 정리하는 기도와 새로운 헌신의 기도를 직접 써보는 것도 좋은 영적 연습이 될 수 있습니다. Thrive에서 제공하는 자료입니다: crcna.org/Thrive
Thrive Faith Formation Tip - Epiphany (January 6) reminds us that Jesus was revealed to the Magi, who were considered outsiders and seekers. This week ask God to show you someone who might feel like an outsider or seeker. How can you reflect Christ’s light and love to them? Sometimes the simplest act—an invitation, a kind word, a prayer—can be a guiding light in a weary world. Brought to you by Thrive: crcna.org/Thrive
Consejo de Formación en la Fe – Thrive - La Epifanía (6 de enero) nos recuerda que Jesús se reveló a los sabios, quienes eran considerados forasteros y buscadores. Esta semana, pídale a Dios que le muestre a alguien que pueda sentirse como un forastero o buscador. ¿Cómo puede usted reflejar la luz y el amor de Cristo hacia esa persona? A veces el acto más sencillo—una invitación, una palabra amable, una oración—puede ser una luz guía en un mundo cansado. Presentado por Thrive: crcna.org/Thrive
Thrive 신앙 훈련 팁 - 주현절(1월 6일)은 예수님께서 이방인이자 진리를 갈망했던 동방박사들에게 자신을 나타내신 날을 기념합니다. 이번 주에는 소외되었거나 진리를 찾고 있는 이들을 만나게 달라고 하나님께 기도해 보세요. 그들에게 그리스도의 빛과 사랑을 어떻게 전할 수 있을지 생각해 보세요. 때로는 초대, 따뜻한 말 한마디, 기도와 같은 작은 행동이 힘든 세상 속에서 큰 등불이 될 수 있습니다. Thrive에서 제공하는 자료입니다: crcna.org/Thrive
Thrive Faith Formation Tip - Galatians 3:28 reminds us of the profound unity we share as believers in Christ, regardless of our backgrounds or perceived differences. As members of God’s diverse yet unified family, we are called to live into the vision proclaimed in this verse. This week, as we commemorate the birthday of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.—a faithful advocate of this very vision—consider how you and your family or friends might actively embrace and embody this unity by building relationships with families of different racial and cultural backgrounds. Brought to you by Thrive: crcna.org/Thrive
Consejo de Formación en la Fe – Thrive - Gálatas 3:28 nos recuerda la profunda unidad que compartimos como creyentes en Cristo, sin importar nuestros orígenes ni nuestras diferencias percibidas.

Esta semana, al conmemorar el nacimiento del Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., fiel defensor de esa visión, considere cómo usted y su familia o amigos pueden adoptar activamente esa unidad entablando relaciones con familias de diferentes orígenes raciales y culturales.

Thrive 신앙 훈련 팁 - 갈라디아서 3장 28절은 배경이나 인식의 차이를 넘어, 우리가 그리스도 안에서 하나로 연합된 존재임을 일깨워 줍니다. 다양하면서도 하나 된 하나님의 가족으로서, 우리는 이 말씀에 담긴 비전을 삶 속에서 실현하도록 부름받았습니다. 이번 주, 이 비전을 몸소 실천했던 마틴 루터 킹 목사의 생일을 기념하며, 가족이나 친구들과 함께 인종과 문화가 다른 이웃들과 어떻게 더 깊은 관계를 맺고 그리스도 안에서의 연합을 실천할 수 있을지 생각해 보세요.
