What kind of church does God desire?
◽
The book of Acts gives us a beautiful answer:
◽
"And they devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers."
Acts 2:42 (ESV)
◽
The early church was not known merely for its activity, but for its devotion to God. Prayer was not just something they did; it was part of who they were.
◽
A praying church does not happen by accident. It is formed as God's people gather around His Word and seek Him together.
◽
Beginning this Wednesday, I invite you to join us on a new journey through God's Word as we begin our Mid-Week Worship Service series:
◽
A PRAYING CHURCH
Becoming a People of Hope in a Discouraging World
◽
Over the coming months, we will discover what the Bible teaches about becoming a church marked by joyful dependence upon God through prayer.
◽
Along the way, we will use Paul Miller's A Praying Church as a companion to help us apply God's truth to the life of the local church.
◽
Our prayer is that this series will do more than increase our knowledge about prayer. We pray that God will shape us so that, together, we increasingly become like Christ and bring glory to God.

One of the greatest privileges of pastoral ministry is not simply preaching God’s Word on Sundays, but walking with God’s people through some of the most sacred moments of their lives.

Today, I had the joy and honor of officiating the wedding of David and Kischen.

Standing before them, opening God’s Word, proclaiming the gospel, and witnessing them enter into the sacred covenant of marriage was both a humbling responsibility and a great blessing.

Marriage is far more than a beautiful ceremony or a legal contract. It is God’s design, established for His glory and for the good of His people.

My prayer for David John Dagoro and Kischen Sy Buagas is that Christ will always remain at the center of their home. May they love one another with the same grace they have received from Christ. May their marriage be marked by faithfulness, humility, forgiveness, and unwavering commitment through every season of life. And may their home become a testimony of the transforming power of the gospel to their family, their church, and everyone around them.

Congratulations, David and Kischen! Thank you for allowing me to share in one of the most significant days of your lives. It was a privilege to stand with you as you began this new chapter together.

“Unless the LORD builds the house, those who build it labor in vain.” - Psalm 127:1 (ESV)

Soli Deo Gloria.

God remains faithful.

Happy Father's Day

Psalm 103:13 says, "As a father shows compassion to his children, so the Lord shows compassion to those who fear him."

Fatherhood is not simply a role. It is a reflection. Every father who loves with patience, leads with integrity, and stays when it is hard is displaying something of God's heart to his children.

To every father reading this, you matter more than you know. The words you speak, the example you set, and the prayers you offer over your home are shaping what your children will believe about God.

You do not have to be perfect. You have to be present and pointed toward Christ.

To those who carry the weight of an absent father, or the grief of a father already gone: your Heavenly Father has never left. He is the Father who sees you, knows you, and calls you His own.

Honor the fathers in your life today. And if you are a father, may God give you the grace to lead your home well, to the glory of His name.

God bless you.

Soli Deo Gloria!

In Christ,
Pastor Macquil

Please join me in praying for the people of Mindanao.

🛐🇵🇭

Heavenly Father,

We come before You today with heavy hearts, as many of our fellow Filipinos in Mindanao have been affected by the recent earthquake.

You are the God who is our refuge and strength, a very present help in times of trouble. In moments when the ground beneath us trembles, remind us that Your throne remains unshaken and Your sovereign hand remains over all creation.

We pray for those who have lost loved ones, suffered injuries, or experienced damage to their homes and livelihoods.

We pray for families suddenly displaced, for patients and healthcare workers forced to evacuate, for children whose schooling has been disrupted, and for communities facing uncertainty in the aftermath of this disaster. Surround them with Your comfort, mercy, and peace. Strengthen those who are fearful and weary. Provide for every family in the days ahead.

We pray for the rescue workers, medical personnel, government officials, volunteers, churches, and relief organizations serving affected communities. Grant them wisdom, endurance, compassion, and protection as they care for those in need.

We also pray for the churches throughout Mindanao. May they shine as beacons of hope, demonstrating the love of Christ through prayer, generosity, service, and the proclamation of the Gospel.

Lord, use even this tragedy to remind us of the frailty of life and our need for You. Turn hearts toward Christ, the only sure foundation that cannot be shaken. As the things of this world remind us of their fragility, fix our eyes upon Christ and the unshakable kingdom He has secured for His people.

We entrust our countrymen into Your gracious care, believing that You are near to the brokenhearted and faithful in every generation.

In the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, we pray.

Amen.
