“How good and pleasant it is when God’s people live together in unity!” — Psalm 133 🙏✨

Karong Dominggo, gipahinumdoman kita nga ang tinuod nga kalipay sa sulod sa atong kasingkasing motubo kung magkinabuhi kita nga nagkahiusa diha sa gugma, pagpaubos, ug panaghiusa atubangan sa Ginoo.

In unity, there is anointing.
In unity, there is abundance.
In unity, there is the assurance of God’s presence and blessing.

Just as the precious oil and refreshing dew in Psalm 133 bring a picture of overflowing blessing, may our homes, church, and relationships become places where unity is protected and Christ is glorified.

Where there is godly unity, the Lord commands His blessing. ❤️

Heaven’s Measure of Generosity | Luke 21:1–4 🙏

In the story of the widow’s offering, Jesus reminds us that God does not simply look at how much we give—He looks at the heart behind our giving. The widow gave little in the eyes of the world, yet Jesus honored her because she put God first and gave sacrificially.

The same principle applies to our tithes: honor the Lord first, not only when there is something left. Before our wants, expenses, and other priorities consume everything, set apart for God what belongs to Him.

💛 Don’t give God what is left. Put Him first—and let your giving reflect your trust in Him.

“She out of her poverty put in all the living that she had.” — Luke 21:4

Rejoice in hope. Be patient in tribulation. Be constant in prayer.
— Romans 12:12

Life brings both joyful seasons and difficult moments, but God’s Word reminds us where our strength is found. We can rejoice because our hope is in Christ, remain patient because God is working even through our trials, and persevere in prayer because He hears every cry.

When the burdens feel too heavy, remember His invitation:

“Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you.” — 1 Peter 5:7

No matter what you’re facing today, don’t carry it alone. Bring it to the Lord. He is faithful, He cares, and He will sustain you.

OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT

After much prayer and careful consideration, the CESCon National Officers would like to announce that the National Youth Camp originally planned for this year will be postponed.

This decision was made in light of the gasoline crisis in the last few months, which has affected travel and transportation across many areas. In addition, this year marks the historic Centennial Celebration of IBCP. We believe it is fitting for our churches and young people to unite in celebrating this significant milestone together during the Centennial activities.

Although the National Youth Camp will not be held this year, we are excited to invite everyone to our CESCon Rally, which will take place on December 29, 2026, the day after the Centennial Celebration.

🎓✨ Celebrating God’s Faithfulness Through Every Milestone! 🎉🎂

Today, our church family gathered with grateful hearts to celebrate God’s goodness during our Celebration of Academic Excellence and July Birthday Celebration.

We praise the Lord for the lives of our Promoted Learners, Completers, Graduates, and LET Passer, whose achievements reflect not only hard work and perseverance but, above all, the faithfulness and grace of God. As Proverbs 16:3 reminds us:

“Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and He will establish your plans.”

We were also blessed by inspiring testimonies that reminded us that every success is a testimony of God’s unfailing love and guidance. May these accomplishments encourage everyone to continue trusting Him in every season of life.

At the same time, we joyfully celebrated our July Birthday Celebrants, thanking God for the gift of life and praying that He will continue to bless each one with wisdom, strength, good health, and abundant grace in the years ahead.

To all our awardees, graduates, LET passer, promoted learners, completers, and birthday celebrants—congratulations! May you continue to honor Christ through your lives and use the gifts He has entrusted to you for His glory.

To God be all the glory! 🙌💙

God’s faithfulness shines through every testimony. ✨🎓

Today, we were blessed to hear the inspiring testimonies of two of our college graduates whose journeys remind us that every achievement begins and ends with God.

Ms. Cherry M. Gubalane testified about God’s unwavering faithfulness through every challenge, drawing strength from Lamentations 3:22–23:

“Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for His compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness.”

Her journey is a powerful reminder that God’s mercy is renewed every day, sustaining us through every trial until His promises come to pass.

Ms. Angel V. Camporedondo shared a heartfelt message of appreciation to her parents, family, and church family, beautifully anchored on Proverbs 16:3:

“Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and He will establish your plans.”

Her testimony reminds us that when we entrust our dreams, studies, and future to the Lord, He faithfully directs our steps and fulfills His purpose in His perfect time.

May these testimonies encourage every student, parent, and believer to continue trusting God. Every milestone is not merely a result of hard work, but a testimony of His grace, faithfulness, and unfailing love.

To God be all the glory! 💙🎓

🌿 Small but Wise: Life Lessons from Nature 🐜🪨

“There are four things on earth that are small, yet they are exceedingly wise…” — Proverbs 30:24–28

In today’s message at IBCP Catalunan Grande, Ptr. Gesson Ellica reminded us through the life of Agur in Proverbs 30 that true wisdom is not measured by size, strength, or status. God points us to the smallest of His creations—the ant, the rock badger, the locust, and the lizard—to reveal timeless lessons about diligence, preparation, unity, security, and perseverance.

The world often celebrates power and prominence, but God honors hearts that are humble, faithful, and wise. Even the smallest life, surrendered to Him, can accomplish great things for His glory.

May we learn to trust God’s wisdom over our own, live with purpose, and remain faithful in both the ordinary and the unseen.

“For the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.”
