"𝑭𝒊𝒏𝒅𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝑯𝒐𝒑𝒆 𝒊𝒏 𝑼𝒏𝒄𝒆𝒓𝒕𝒂𝒊𝒏𝒕𝒚"
| Jeremiah 29:11 |

"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."

Pastora Ruth highlighted that life is often filled with uncertainty—moments when we don’t know what lies ahead. Like a farmer who patiently waits for rain to water his crops, we are called to trust even when the outcome is unclear.

So where do we place our hope and what does trusting God's plan look like?
—In God, because His plans for us are always good.

• 𝘛𝘳𝘶𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘎𝘰𝘥 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘯 𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘭𝘪𝘧𝘦 𝘪𝘴 𝘶𝘯𝘤𝘦𝘳𝘵𝘢𝘪𝘯.
—Dili pasabot nga sayon ang kinabuhi, apan nagpasabot nga naa’y mas dako nga plano ang Ginoo kaysa sa atong masabtan.

–Ang saad sa Ginoo dili dali nga kalamposan, apan usa ka mas dako ug mahimayaong kaugmaon.

"Ang maong verse wala magsaad sa hinanaling kalamposan; it is a promise of something greater—a plan bigger than our plans."–Pastora Ruth Bueno

"𝑯𝒊𝒏𝒅𝒓𝒂𝒏𝒄𝒆𝒔 𝒐𝒇 𝑭𝒂𝒊𝒕𝒉"
| Galatians 5:7 |

We may have started our faith journey strong, but along the way, there are things that can hinder us from continuing in the truth (Galatians 5:7).

Galatians 1:1–5 reminds us that the Gospel is not about our own efforts, but about the grace of God through Jesus Christ.

In Galatians 2:15–21, we are reminded that we are justified by faith, not by works. When we begin to rely on ourselves, we slowly lose sight of what Jesus has already done for us.

Galatians 3:1–9 serves as a reminder not to be easily influenced or led away by false teachings, but to stay grounded in the truth.

Galatians 5:13–15 calls us to use our freedom to love one another, not to create conflict or division.

There are many possible hindrances to our faith —𝙛𝙖𝙡𝙨𝙚 𝙩𝙚𝙖𝙘𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜𝙨, 𝙢𝙞𝙨𝙪𝙣𝙙𝙚𝙧𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙣𝙙𝙞𝙣𝙜𝙨, 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙣 𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙤𝙬𝙣 𝙙𝙚𝙨𝙞𝙧𝙚𝙨.

"𝑳𝒖𝒎𝒃𝒂 𝒔𝒂 𝑲𝒊𝒏𝒂𝒃𝒖𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝑲𝒓𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒐𝒉𝒂𝒏𝒐𝒏"
|Hebrew 12:1-2|

Pastor Sony reminded us na naay mga saksi nga nagatan-aw kanato. There are two kinds: first, our co-believers who cheer us on, and second, non-believers who need to see Christ through our example (v.1a).

As we live in this flesh, whose nature is sinful, we truly need Jesus in our lives (v.1b)

In this race, dapat motutok jud ta kang Jesus alone. We are not to be distracted, but to remain focused Him. Fixing our eyes on Jesus (v.2).

|John 21:15-17|
𝗪𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗣𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿 𝗥𝗶𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗱 𝗧𝘂𝗮𝗻

Read the scripture text. Jesus and Peter—the question was asked three times and it corresponds Peter's three denials of Jesus. The question was not a question of emotion but a question of commitment, devotion and priority.

Today, God asks you,
"𝑳𝒐𝒗𝒆 𝒃𝒂 𝑲𝒐 𝒏𝒊𝒎𝒐?"

As you reflect on that question, be reminded of these:

𝙄. 𝙇𝙤𝙫𝙚 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝘾𝙝𝙧𝙞𝙨𝙩 𝙢𝙪𝙨𝙩 𝙗𝙚 𝙨𝙞𝙣𝙘𝙚𝙧𝙚 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙥𝙚𝙧𝙨𝙤𝙣𝙖𝙡

• Love Him above all else (Matthew 22:37)
- Love Him with all your heart. A reverent fear of Him leads to obedience.

• Love Him not just in words but in heart (1 John 3:18)
- True love is demonstrated through action, not words alone.

• Love rooted in Christ (1 John 4:19)
- Love begins with Him.

𝙄𝙄. 𝙇𝙤𝙫𝙚 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝘾𝙝𝙧𝙞𝙨𝙩 𝙧𝙚𝙦𝙪𝙞𝙧𝙚𝙨 𝙥𝙧𝙞𝙤𝙧𝙞𝙩𝙮 𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙧 𝙖𝙡𝙡 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜𝙨—"𝙇𝙤𝙫𝙚 𝙈𝙚 𝙢𝙤𝙧𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙨𝙚"

• Christ above possession (Luke 14:33)
- If God is truly first, then He is never negotiable.

• Christ above relationship (Matthew 10:37)
- Our relationship with God must come before anyone else, for love for Christ must surpass any other relationships.

• Christ over yourself (Luke 9:23)
- Following Christ requires self-denial—less of us, more of Him (God must increase, self must decrease).

• Wholehearted devotion (Deuteronomy 6:5)
- God commands total commitment.

𝙄𝙄𝙄. 𝙇𝙤𝙫𝙚 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝘾𝙝𝙧𝙞𝙨𝙩 𝙙𝙚𝙢𝙖𝙣𝙙𝙨 𝙨𝙚𝙧𝙫𝙞𝙘𝙚 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙥𝙤𝙣𝙨𝙞𝙗𝙞𝙡𝙞𝙩𝙮

When Jesus asked Peter, "𝗹𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝗯𝗮 𝗞𝗼 𝗻𝗶𝗺𝗼?", it was followed by a calling. So when we say we love Christ, it comes with an assigned service and responsibility.

• Feed my lambs (John 21:15)
- Love for Christ is expressed through caring to others.

• Shepherd my sheep (John 21:16)
- our love for Christ moves us to commit ourselves in being discipled and to discipling His people.

• Serve with love (Galatians 5:13)
- our service must be motivated with love.

• Faithfulness in ministry (1 Corinthians 4:2)
- God requires faithfulness in stewardship

Pastor concluded his sermon with this:

"𝘒𝘶𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘶𝘰𝘥 𝘯𝘢𝘵𝘰 𝘚𝘪𝘺𝘢𝘯𝘨 𝘨𝘪𝘩𝘪𝘨𝘶𝘨𝘮𝘢, 𝘢𝘵𝘰𝘯𝘨 𝘶𝘯𝘢𝘩𝘰𝘯 𝘚𝘪𝘺𝘢 𝘭𝘢𝘣𝘢𝘸 𝘴𝘢 𝘵𝘢𝘯𝘢𝘯, 𝘱𝘢𝘨-𝘢𝘭𝘢𝘨𝘢𝘥 𝘴𝘢 𝘐𝘺𝘢𝘯𝘨 𝘱𝘢𝘨𝘬𝘢𝘮𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘶𝘥-𝘢𝘯𝘰𝘯, 𝘶𝘨 𝘱𝘢𝘨𝘭𝘢𝘬𝘢𝘸 𝘴𝘢 𝘬𝘢𝘵𝘶𝘺𝘶𝘢𝘯 𝘯𝘨𝘢 𝘐𝘺𝘢𝘯𝘨 𝘨𝘪𝘵𝘢𝘨𝘢𝘯𝘢 𝘱𝘢𝘳𝘢 𝘬𝘢𝘯𝘢𝘵𝘰. 𝘚𝘢𝘮𝘢 𝘯𝘪 𝘗𝘦𝘥𝘳𝘰, 𝘢𝘯𝘨 𝘢𝘵𝘰𝘯𝘨 𝘮𝘨𝘢 𝘬𝘢𝘱𝘢𝘬𝘺𝘢𝘴𝘢𝘯 𝘥𝘪𝘭𝘪 𝘮𝘢𝘬𝘢𝘱𝘢𝘩𝘪𝘮𝘶𝘭𝘢𝘨 𝘬𝘢𝘯𝘢𝘵𝘰; 𝘴𝘪 𝘊𝘳𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘰 𝘮𝘢𝘨𝘢𝘱𝘢𝘴𝘪𝘨-𝘶𝘭𝘪 𝘶𝘨 𝘮𝘢𝘨𝘢𝘩𝘢𝘵𝘢𝘨 𝘬𝘢𝘯𝘢𝘵𝘰 𝘴𝘢 𝘮𝘢𝘴 𝘥𝘢𝘨𝘬𝘰𝘯𝘨 𝘣𝘶𝘩𝘢𝘵."

"𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑽𝒐𝒊𝒄𝒆 𝒐𝒇 𝑳𝒐𝒗𝒆 𝒊𝒏 𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝑫𝒂𝒓𝒌𝒆𝒔𝒕 𝑯𝒐𝒖𝒓"
|Luke 23:34-46|

Pastora Zou shared the Seven Words of Jesus on the Cross, explaining their meaning in our lives. As we reflect on the cross, may we be continually reminded of these truths.

𝙄. 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙬𝙤𝙧𝙙 𝙤𝙛 𝙁𝙤𝙧𝙜𝙞𝙫𝙚𝙣𝙚𝙨𝙨
Christ was nailed and crucified, yet He remained merciful (Luke 23:34).

𝙄𝙄. 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙬𝙤𝙧𝙙 𝙤𝙛 𝙎𝙖𝙡𝙫𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣
The Gospel in its purest form—Luke 23:43. Two heard the word: one response with disbelief, the other with surrender. Ang kawatan walay opportunity mo adto sa church, walay record of good works, but he heard the Word, believed in Jesus, and was saved.

Salvation is not earned; it is received—not achieved by effort, but given by grace.

"𝘠𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘱𝘢𝘴𝘵 𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘣𝘦 𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘨𝘪𝘷𝘦𝘯. Y𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘧𝘶𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦 𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘣𝘦 𝘴𝘦𝘤𝘶𝘳𝘦𝘥 . 𝘠𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘦𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘯𝘪𝘵𝘺 𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘣𝘦 𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘴𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘮𝘦𝘥 𝘪𝘯 𝘊𝘩𝘳𝘪𝘴𝘵."

𝙄𝙄𝙄. 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙬𝙤𝙧𝙙 𝙤𝙛 𝘾𝙤𝙢𝙥𝙖𝙨𝙨𝙞𝙤𝙣
The love of Jesus for His mother is the same love He has for us. Jesus is not just the redeemer of our souls; He is also the shepherd of our lives.

"𝘛𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘪𝘴 𝘯𝘰 𝘱𝘢𝘪𝘯 𝘪𝘯 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘭𝘪𝘧𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘦𝘴𝘤𝘢𝘱𝘦 𝘏𝘪𝘴 𝘯𝘰𝘵𝘪𝘤𝘦, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘯𝘰 𝘣𝘶𝘳𝘥𝘦𝘯 𝘪𝘯 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘪𝘴 𝘣𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘩 𝘏𝘪𝘴 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘱𝘢𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘰𝘯."

𝙄𝙑. 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙬𝙤𝙧𝙙 𝙤𝙛 𝘼𝙗𝙖𝙣𝙙𝙤𝙣𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙩
Matthew 27:46 is a cry for a spiritual anguish—the intimacy of Jesus' relationship with God was momentarily covered because of the sin.

What feels like abandonment is actually the unfolding of redemption. That's why if we feel distant from God, it's because of sin, for God is holy and will not allow sin in His presence.

"𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘰𝘯 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘤𝘢𝘴𝘵 𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘪𝘭𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘢𝘣𝘢𝘯𝘥𝘰𝘯𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵, 𝘴𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘸𝘦 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘭𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘢𝘴𝘴𝘶𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦, 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘎𝘰𝘥 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘯𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘶𝘴, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘯𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘴𝘢𝘬𝘦 𝘶𝘴."

𝙑. 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙬𝙤𝙧𝙙 𝙤𝙛 𝙎𝙪𝙛𝙛𝙚𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙜
John 19:28–speak on His humanly nature. The cross is not only where sin is paid; it is where suffering is understood. Because Jesus did not save us from distance, He entered into the depths of human pain.

"𝘕𝘢𝘴𝘢𝘣𝘵𝘢𝘯 𝘯𝘪 𝘑𝘦𝘴𝘶𝘴 𝘪𝘮𝘰𝘯𝘨 𝘨𝘪𝘣𝘢𝘵𝘪, 𝘥𝘪𝘭𝘪 𝘵𝘶𝘯𝘨𝘰𝘥 𝘬𝘢𝘺 𝘯𝘢𝘰𝘣𝘴𝘦𝘳𝘣𝘢𝘩𝘢𝘯 𝘯𝘢 𝘕𝘪𝘺𝘢'𝘨 𝘥𝘶𝘨𝘢𝘺 𝘪𝘮𝘰𝘯𝘨 𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘢𝘣𝘶𝘩𝘪, 𝘣𝘶𝘵 𝘣𝘦𝘤𝘢𝘶𝘴𝘦 𝘏𝘦 𝘏𝘪𝘮𝘴𝘦𝘭𝘧 𝘣𝘦𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘦 𝘔𝘢𝘯."

𝙑𝙄. 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙬𝙤𝙧𝙙 𝙤𝙛 𝙑𝙞𝙘𝙩𝙤𝙧𝙮
The cross is not the beginning of salvation, it is its completion.

" 𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘩𝘶𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘪𝘵𝘺 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘯𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘢𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘦𝘷𝘦 𝘪𝘯 𝘢 𝘭𝘪𝘧𝘦𝘵𝘪𝘮𝘦, 𝘊𝘩𝘳𝘪𝘴𝘵 𝘢𝘤𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘱𝘭𝘪𝘴𝘩𝘦𝘥 𝘪𝘯 𝘢 𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘭𝘦 𝘢𝘤𝘵 𝘰𝘧 𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘧𝘦𝘤𝘵 𝘰𝘣𝘦𝘥𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦. 𝘈𝘯𝘥 𝘞𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘑𝘦𝘴𝘶𝘴 𝘴𝘢𝘪𝘥, "𝘐𝘵 𝘪𝘴 𝘧𝘪𝘯𝘪𝘴𝘩𝘦𝘥", 𝘏𝘦 𝘮𝘦𝘢𝘯𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘯𝘦𝘤𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘢𝘳𝘺 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘴𝘢𝘭𝘷𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘧𝘶𝘭𝘭𝘺, 𝘧𝘪𝘯𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘢𝘤𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘱𝘭𝘪𝘴𝘩𝘦𝘥."

𝙑𝙄𝙄. 𝘼 𝙬𝙤𝙧𝙙 𝙤𝙛 𝙎𝙪𝙧𝙧𝙚𝙣𝙙𝙚𝙧
Even in His death, God was in control (Luke 23:46). Surrender is not weakness; It is the highest expression of faith, for when we surrender, we experience the working of God in complete measure.

"𝘈 𝘭𝘪𝘧𝘦 𝘧𝘶𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘴𝘶𝘳𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘎𝘰𝘥 𝘪𝘴 𝘯𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘢 𝘭𝘪𝘧𝘦 𝘢𝘵 𝘳𝘪𝘴𝘬, 𝘪𝘵 𝘪𝘴 𝘢 𝘭𝘪𝘧𝘦 𝘧𝘪𝘯𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘢𝘵 𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘵 𝘪𝘯 𝘏𝘪𝘴 𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘥𝘴."

She concluded with:
" 𝗜𝘁 𝘄𝗮𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗻𝗮𝗶𝗹𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗱 𝗝𝗲𝘀𝘂𝘀 𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗿𝗼𝘀𝘀, 𝗶𝘁 𝘄𝗮𝘀 𝗛𝗶𝘀 𝗹𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘆𝗼𝘂.

"𝑵𝒐 𝑴𝒐𝒓𝒆 𝑬𝒙𝒄𝒖𝒔𝒆𝒔"
| Luke 9:56-62 |

Pastora Ruth emphasized that excuses are often disguised as responsibilities—in family, work, school, or anything we prioritized over God. These excuses become barriers that hold back the blessings that meant for us.

Excuses in form of:

• 𝘼𝙗𝙞𝙡𝙞𝙩𝙮 - the feeling of "I am not able to do it" . But remember, God does not call the qualified but qualifies the called. He equips the willing. In 𝘗𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘪𝘱𝘱𝘪𝘢𝘯𝘴 4:13, we are reminded that we can do all things through Christ who strengthens us. When we surrender our strength to God, we become able. Basta, pagamit lang.

• 𝘼𝙫𝙖𝙞𝙡𝙖𝙗𝙞𝙡𝙞𝙩𝙮 - sometimes we become unavailable for God's ministry because of busyness, and we tend to make reasons of excuses. But serving Christ requires willingness, not reluctance. God desires our "yes." He wants our availability. Be available. Don't be like Jonah—who had the ability but was unwilling to go to Ninebeh. You know, excuses often reflect a divided heart, and when we truly love God, we obey Him (𝘑𝘰𝘩𝘯 14:15).

• 𝘼𝙡𝙡𝙚𝙜𝙞𝙖𝙣𝙘𝙚 - we make excuses and fail to prioritize God's kingdom. Yet 𝘔𝘢𝘵𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘸 6:33 calls us to seek first His kingdom above all else. God desires our loyalty and full devotion. A divided allegiance is not acceptable to Him.

Pastora concluded with this:

"𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐬𝐞 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐞𝐱𝐜𝐮𝐬𝐞𝐬 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐤 𝐨𝐟 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐛𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬, 𝐰𝐞 𝐦𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐞𝐱𝐜𝐮𝐬𝐞𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐨𝐰𝐧 𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲, 𝐚𝐯𝐚𝐢𝐥𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐠𝐢𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞. 𝐁𝐮𝐭 𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞'𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐩𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐭: 𝐂𝐡𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐚𝐧𝐬 𝐰𝐡𝐨 𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐥𝐲 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐆𝐨𝐝 𝐝𝐨 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐝𝐰𝐞𝐥𝐥 𝐨𝐧 𝐞𝐱𝐜𝐮𝐬𝐞𝐬; 𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐚𝐝, 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐛𝐞 𝐢𝐧𝐯𝐨𝐥𝐯𝐞𝐝."

"𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑫𝒂𝒏𝒈𝒆𝒓 𝒐𝒇 𝒂 𝑳𝒖𝒌𝒆𝒘𝒂𝒓𝒎 𝑯𝒆𝒂𝒓𝒕"
| Revelation 3:15-16 |

"Nasayod ako sa inyong mga binuhatan. Dili kamo sama sa bugnaw o kaha init nga tubig. Unta bugnaw o kaha init kamo. Apan tungod kay sama kamo sa init-init nga tubig, dili bugnaw ug dili usab init, isuka ko kamo."

Pastora Zou highlighted the spiritual condition of the church in Laodicea—a wealthy, successful city that became "lukewarm." Like the city's water supply that was neither refreshing nor healing, a lukewarm heart is one that has lost its passion and relies on outward success rather than spiritual depth.

What does a lukewarm Christian look like?

"𝑩𝒓𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝑩𝒂𝒄𝒌 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑨𝒔𝒕𝒓𝒂𝒚"
| Isaiah 53:6 |

"Kitang tanan sama sa mga karnero nga nasalaag ug wala mosubay sa hustong dalan (6a). Apan Siyay gidaldakan sa Ginoo sa tanan tang kasal-anan (6b)."

Pastor Bueno illustrated Isaiah 53:6a, which tells how everyone falls short of God's glory because of sin (Romans 3:23). However, God sent His Son to pay the price on the cross and bridge us back to His glory (Isaiah 53:6b).

The need for bringing back the astray:

Pastor pointed these out,
• 𝘞𝘦 𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘨𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘢𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘺.
—because of the inherited sin from the Garden of Eden, when Eve and Adam disobeyed God's command. Ug tungod niini kitang tanan nahilayo sa Ginoo.

• 𝘞𝘦 𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘨𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘰𝘸𝘯 𝘸𝘢𝘺𝘴.
—nagapatuyan ta, we rebel against God's will. Bisan kita Kristohanon, tumanon dyapon nato atong gusto, apan dapat mahimo kitang matinumanon sa Ginoo.

But the Good News is this:

• 𝘾𝙝𝙧𝙞𝙨𝙩 𝙙𝙞𝙚𝙙 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙨𝙞𝙣𝙨.
—Jesus died for us. Si Jesus ang nagbayad sa atong mga sala, tago man o dayag. Pinaagi sa Iyang dugo, naluwas kita.

Pastor concluded with this reminder for us to check ourselves:

"𝗚𝗶𝗶𝗹𝗮 𝘂𝗴 𝗴𝗶𝗱𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘁 𝗯𝗮 𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗼 𝗻𝗴𝗮 𝘀𝗮 𝗸𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗮𝗱𝘁𝗼 𝗸𝗶𝘁𝗮 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗮𝘀𝗮𝘀𝗮𝗹𝗮? 𝗚𝗶𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗸𝗼𝗻 𝗯𝗮 𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗼 𝗻𝗮 𝗸𝗶𝘁𝗮 𝗻𝗮𝗸𝗮𝘀𝗮𝗹𝗮? 𝗚𝗶𝗱𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘁 𝘂𝗴 𝗴𝗶𝘀𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗮𝗻 𝗯𝗮 𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗶 𝗖𝗿𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗼 𝗻𝗴𝗮 𝗦𝗶𝘆𝗮 𝗮𝗻𝗴 𝗻𝗮𝗴𝗯𝗮𝘆𝗮𝗱 𝘀𝗮 𝗮𝘁𝗼𝗻𝗴 𝗺𝗴𝗮 𝘀𝗮𝗹𝗮?"

"𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑴𝒂𝒏 𝒐𝒇 𝑺𝒐𝒓𝒓𝒐𝒘𝒔"

Jesus, the Man of sorrows. It was prophesied—His coming and His mission (To Save).

A moment before He was arrested, He prayed, "𝖥𝖺𝗍𝗁𝖾𝗋, 𝗂𝖿 𝖸𝗈𝗎 𝖺𝗋𝖾 𝗐𝗂𝗅𝗅𝗂𝗇𝗀, 𝗍𝖺𝗄𝖾 𝗍𝗁𝗂𝗌 𝖼𝗎𝗉 𝗈𝖿 𝗌𝗎𝖿𝖿𝖾𝗋𝗂𝗇𝗀 𝖺𝗐𝖺𝗒 𝖿𝗋𝗈𝗆 𝗆𝖾. 𝖸𝖾𝗍 𝗇𝗈𝗍 𝗆𝗒 𝗐𝗂𝗅𝗅, 𝗁𝗈𝗐𝖾𝗏𝖾𝗋, 𝖻𝗎𝗍 𝖸𝗈𝗎𝗋𝗌, 𝖻𝖾 𝖽𝗈𝗇𝖾." This shows how He faced sorrow. He carried it and ultimately won over it on the Cross.

It shows 𝒍𝒐𝒗𝒆.

Pastor Bueno asked, so, how can we respond? How was our response?

We can respond through:
• 𝘼𝙩𝙩𝙚𝙣𝙙𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙎𝙥𝙞𝙧𝙞𝙩𝙪𝙖𝙡 𝘼𝙘𝙩𝙞𝙫𝙞𝙩𝙞𝙚𝙨- Love the blessings of being a Christian. Ayaw isalikway. Attend prayer meetings, devotions, and other spiritual gatherings. Ayaw'g dili-dili.

• 𝙍𝙚𝙖𝙙 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙏𝙧𝙪𝙩𝙝 (𝘽𝙞𝙗𝙡𝙚)- Read the Word. Ayaw paalikabuki. Ayaw isalikway ang kamatuoran.

• 𝙈𝙖𝙠𝙚 𝙪𝙨𝙚 𝙞𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙆𝙞𝙣𝙜𝙙𝙤𝙢- Serve in God's Kingdom. Ayaw iunya-unya.

Pastor even asked, "Kumusta imong kinabuhi? Ginasalikway ba nimo ang Ginoo pinaagi sa pag-usik-usik sa mga butang nga dapat unta para sa imong spiritual growth?"

"𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘚𝘰𝘳𝘳𝘰𝘸 𝘰𝘧 𝘭𝘰𝘯𝘦𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘦𝘴𝘴 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘢𝘭𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘺 𝘸𝘰𝘯 𝘰𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘊𝘳𝘰𝘴𝘴, 𝘮𝘢𝘰 𝘯𝘢𝘯𝘨 𝘳𝘦𝘫𝘰𝘪𝘤𝘦 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘓𝘰𝘳𝘥. 𝘍𝘰𝘳 𝘪𝘵 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘧𝘪𝘯𝘪𝘴𝘩𝘦𝘥, 𝘛𝘦𝘵𝘦𝘭𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘪."

Pastor concluded with this reminder:
"𝗦𝗶 𝗖𝗿𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗼 𝗺𝗮𝗼𝘆 𝗺𝗼𝗱𝗮𝗹𝗮 𝘂𝗴 𝗺𝗼𝗽𝗮𝘀-𝗮𝗻 𝘀𝗮 𝗮𝘁𝗼𝗻𝗴 𝗸𝗮𝗴𝘂𝗹-𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗻. 𝗛𝗶𝗻𝗮𝘂𝘁 𝗶𝗵𝗮𝘁𝗮𝗴 𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗼 𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗶 𝘀𝗮 𝗜𝘆𝗮𝗵𝗮 𝘂𝗴 𝗱𝗶𝗹𝗶 𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗼 𝗽𝗮𝘀-𝗮𝗻-𝗽𝗮𝘀-𝗮𝗻𝗼𝗻. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗹𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀—𝗶𝘁'𝘀 𝗚𝗼𝗱'𝘀."

If something heavy in your heart, talk with Him about it.

Delays can also be God's mysterious way of working—an avenue for preparation.

Pastor Tuan reminded us that what appears to be delay is often divine preparation:

• 𝘞𝘢𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘥𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘭𝘰𝘱𝘴 𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘨𝘵𝘩 (Isaiah 40:31)
"Ang paghulat naghatag ug kalig-on." While we were waiting, He renew us. The waiting room is not a wasted room—it is a strengthen room.

• 𝘛𝘪𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘪𝘴 𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘧𝘦𝘤𝘵'𝘴 𝘱𝘶𝘳𝘱𝘰𝘴𝘦 (Ecclesiastes 3:1)
"Hulat, hulat, hulat sa plano ug kabubut-on sa Ginoo." There is a time for everything. What feels late to us is never late to God.

• 𝘗𝘳𝘦𝘱𝘢𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘤𝘦𝘥𝘦𝘴 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘮𝘰𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 (Psalm 105:19)
"Ang pagpangandam maoy nag-una sa promosyon." Before God elevates, He equips. Before He promotes, He purifies.

• 𝘍𝘢𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘪𝘴 𝘳𝘦𝘧𝘪𝘯𝘦𝘥 𝘪𝘯 𝘞𝘢𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨
Our faith will be refined, gwapohon pa, because trials produce patience.

Song Recommendation: "Trust His Heart"

| 𝑴𝒂𝒕𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒘 5:43-44 |

Pastora Zou differentiated the difference between the human heart (Matthew 5:43), which seeks revenge and holds on to hatred, and God's heart (Matthew 5:44), which chooses love and forgiveness.

She said, "𝑾𝒆 𝒂𝒓𝒆 𝒐𝒏𝒄𝒆 𝑮𝒐𝒅'𝒔 𝒆𝒏𝒆𝒎𝒊𝒆𝒔 𝒃𝒆𝒄𝒂𝒖𝒔𝒆 𝒐𝒇 𝒔𝒊𝒏. 𝑻𝒉𝒂𝒕'𝒔 𝒘𝒉𝒚, 𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒏 𝒘𝒉𝒊𝒍𝒆 𝒘𝒆 𝒘𝒆𝒓𝒆 𝒔𝒕𝒊𝒍𝒍 𝒔𝒊𝒏𝒏𝒆𝒓𝒔, 𝑮𝒐𝒅 𝒔𝒆𝒏𝒕 𝑯𝒊𝒔 𝑺𝒐𝒏 𝒔𝒐 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒘𝒆 𝒎𝒂𝒚 𝒆𝒏𝒋𝒐𝒚 𝒆𝒕𝒆𝒓𝒏𝒊𝒕𝒚 𝒕𝒉𝒓𝒐𝒖𝒈𝒉 𝑱𝒆𝒔𝒖𝒔."

He is the perfect example of loving enemies, even when they cost you so much.

She even emphasized, "𝖨𝖿 𝖦𝗈𝖽 𝗌𝗁𝗈𝗐𝖾𝖽 𝗍𝗁𝗂𝗌 𝗆𝗎𝖼𝗁 𝗍𝗈 𝖧𝗂𝗌 𝖾𝗇𝖾𝗆𝗂𝖾𝗌, 𝗍𝗁𝖾𝗇 𝗐𝗁𝗒 𝖼𝖺𝗇'𝗍 𝗐𝖾?—𝙋𝙧𝙖𝙮 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙢. 𝘽𝙡𝙚𝙨𝙨 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙢. 𝙁𝙤𝙧𝙜𝙞𝙫𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙢, 𝙟𝙪𝙨𝙩 𝙖𝙨 𝙂𝙤𝙙 𝙙𝙞𝙙 𝙩𝙤 𝙮𝙤𝙪.
