“All my life You have been faithful” hits different kapag naalala mong kahit ilang beses kang napagod, nawalan ng direction, o lumayo… God never stopped pursuing you.

Bago mo pa Siya makilala nang personal, naging faithful na Siya sa’yo. Every closed door that protected you. Every prayer na hindi mo alam na sinagot Niya. Every battle na akala mo ikaw lang ang lumaban. He was there the whole time.

Maybe today you feel tired, lost, or spiritually empty. Pero baka kailangan mo lang maalala na the same God who carried you before is still holding you now. Hindi ka Niya iniwan noon. Hindi ka Niya iiwan ngayon.

Come worship with us at Soo Jung International Ministry Ansan. Hindi mo kailangang maging “okay” bago lumapit sa Diyos. Just come as you are and experience the faithfulness of God for yourself.

“The Lord is faithful to all His promises and loving toward all He has made.” - Psalm 145:13

Title: Testimony of the Church
Text: I Timothy 3:15-16

Minsan hindi mo agad mapapansin na lumalayo ka na pala kay God.

Busy ka lang.
Pagod.
Maraming iniisip.
Hanggang sa naging normal na yung buhay na hindi na Siya kinakausap.

Tapos one day, mararamdaman mo nalang na parang may kulang.

You still smile.
You still work.
You still post.
You still laugh with people.

Pero deep inside, pagod na yung soul mo.

Kasi may mga bagay na hindi kayang punuin ng pahinga, pera, tao, o achievements.
Presence lang ni God.

At siguro ito yung reminder mo today:

Hindi ka hinihintay ng Diyos na maging perfect bago bumalik.
Ang gusto Niya lang, bumalik ka.

Kahit magulo ka pa.
Kahit drained ka pa.
Kahit feeling mo ang layo mo na.

One prayer can reopen a heart.
One surrender can change everything.

Title: The First Church of Christ
Verse: Acts 2:41-47
Speaker: Pastor Henry Arce

Some people teach the Bible.
Some people preach.
But there are rare people God uses to quietly shape hearts, restore faith, and remind others what following Jesus truly looks like.

Brother Gideon, thank you for being more than a leader to us. Thank you for becoming a living reminder that discipleship is not about standing in front of people, but walking with them patiently, faithfully, and consistently. The prayers, corrections, encouragements, late conversations, and simple moments you probably thought were “small” became seeds God used to change lives.

It’s hard to see someone impactful leave, but we know this: when God moves His servants, it’s never random. Singapore is not losing you to distance, it’s gaining another vessel God can use. And while places may change, the impact of a faithful servant never stays in one location. It multiplies.

“Remember your leaders, who spoke the word of God to you. Consider the outcome of their way of life and imitate their faith.”
Hebrews 13:7

Thank you for leading people closer to Jesus, not closer to yourself. That is rare. That is kingdom work. Praying that God blesses every step ahead of you, Kuya Gideon. Singapore is about to witness what we were blessed to experience firsthand.

“We love you and may God bless you and keep you, Gideon Arce”

Title: I will build my Church

Title: Intimacy with God
Romans 8:14–17 Romans

Intimacy means having a close, familiar, loving relationship marked by trust, openness, and nearness.

That is exactly the kind of relationship God wants with us.

In Romans 8, Paul the Apostle reminds believers that life with God is no longer about fear, guilt, or trying to earn His love.

It is about being led by the Spirit.

It is about sonship.

It is about being able to cry, “Abba, Father.”

Some of us still relate to God like slaves.

A slave asks, “What do I have to do?”
A son asks, “How do I stay close to my Father?”

That difference changes everything.

Sometimes we think doing more “Christian things” automatically makes God happy.
But what pleases the Father is not performance.
It is relationship.

He wants us to live in such a way that people can see He is not only our Lord, but also our Father and closest friend.

So how is your relationship with God today?

Whatever your current condition is, God desires something deeper, closer, and more meaningful with you.

What intimacy with God looks like:

1. Spirit-led surrender:
Choosing God’s direction over your own every day.

2. Intimate prayer:
Coming to Him as Father, not just authority.
Being honest.
Talking to Him naturally.
Trusting Him.

3. Identity meditation:
Reminding yourself who you are in Christ.

From our discipleship training, remember:

New Relationship
New Experience
Eternal Life

This is what fights the slave mindset Paul the Apostle talked about.

And intimacy is never separated from obedience.

In Luke 6:46, Jesus said:

“Why do you call me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and do not do what I say?”

Real intimacy with God is not just feeling close to Him.

It is walking with Him daily.
Listening to Him.
Trusting Him.
Obeying Him.

The goal is not just to know about God.
The goal is to know Him deeply.

“I will build My church.”

Matthew 16:18 reminds us that the Church is not just a place we go to every Sunday. Ang Church ay mga taong tinawag, binago, at pinag-isa ni Cristo. Sa mundong pabago-bago, may isang bagay na nananatiling matatag. Ang Church na si Jesus mismo ang nagtatayo.

Matthew 16:18–20 also reminds us that being part of Christ’s Church is both a privilege and a calling. Hindi lang tayo tinawag para umattend, kundi para mamuhay bilang Kanyang mga saksi. Kahit gaano kalakas ang laban, gaano man kabigat ang pinagdadaanan, “the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.” Kapag si Cristo ang pundasyon, may katatagan, may pag-asa, at may purpose.

“This is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.”
2 Corinthians 6:2

Hindi natin alam ang bukas, pero may pagkakataon tayo ngayon. Ngayon ang araw para lumapit kay God. Ngayon ang araw para sumunod. Ngayon ang araw para hayaang si Cristo ang magtayo, magbago, at mamuno sa buhay natin.
