The Church today is made up of believers who have been saved by grace through faith, yet we are not yet perfected. We are still being sanctified and await the day when God will fully glorify us. Therefore, the possibility of sin remains. The story of Ananias and Sapphira serves as a sobering warning: they sold a piece of property but secretly kept part of the proceeds while giving the impression that they had given the full amount. They lied to the Holy Spirit, and God judged their deception with immediate death.

Our response should be to fear the Lord—to have a deep reverence for Him that leads us to honor His holiness, obey His commands, and turn away from sin. For “the fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom” (Proverbs 9:10).

Paul appeals to the Corinthians in 2 Corinthians 7:2 to open their hearts to him, reminding them that he had treated no one wrongly, corrupted no one, or taken advantage of anyone. As followers of Christ, we are called to live with the same integrity, choosing honesty, humility, and righteousness in our everyday lives.

May this month’s memory verse challenge us to reflect on our actions and relationships, making sure that our lives remain a testimony of the Christ we follow. And if we falter, may we be quick to turn to Him, confess our sins, and receive His forgiveness, trusting His grace to help us overcome sin.

Sermon Title: Sin of Dishonesty Against The Holy Spirit
Speaker: Dr. Stewart Young

Acts 5:3–4 (NIV)
“Then Peter said, ‘Ananias, how is it that Satan has so filled your heart that you have lied to the Holy Spirit and have kept for yourself some of the money you received for the land? Didn’t it belong to you before it was sold? And after it was sold, wasn’t the money at your disposal? What made you think of doing such a thing? You have not lied to men but to God.’”

What does it mean to lie to the Holy Spirit? This Sunday, we will reflect on the seriousness of dishonesty before God and how the early church was taught to walk in truth, reverence, and sincerity before Him.

Join us as we listen to God’s Word and seek to walk faithfully in the presence and guidance of the Holy Spirit.

What is the “unpardonable sin”?

Jesus teaches that every sin and blasphemy can be forgiven—but blasphemy against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven (Matthew 12:31–32).

This does not mean that there is a sin so terrible that a repentant person cannot receive God’s forgiveness. The Bible teaches that no matter how grievous our sin may be, forgiveness is available when we turn to God, confess our sin, and trust in Jesus Christ as Savior.

The “blasphemy against the Holy Spirit” is different. It is a deliberate and persistent rejection of the Spirit’s testimony about who Jesus is—the Son of God, the Messiah, and the only Savior.

The warning is serious: do not reject the truth that the Holy Spirit reveals about Christ.

Sermon Title: Sins Against the Holy Spirit, Part 2: Is Blaspheming the Spirit the Unpardonable Sin?
Speaker: Dr. Edilberto Banzuelo

Luke 12:10 (NIV)
“And everyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but anyone who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven.”

What does it mean to blaspheme against the Holy Spirit? Is there truly a sin that cannot be forgiven? This Sunday, we will explore Christ’s warning about blaspheming the Spirit and seek to understand the seriousness of rejecting the work and testimony of the Holy Spirit.

Join us as we study God’s Word and learn to respond to the Holy Spirit with reverence, humility, and obedience.

Sin grieves the Holy Spirit who dwells within us. Yet, God does not leave us without a way back.

As we reflect on this week’s message, may we examine our hearts, confess our sins, and turn back to God. May we allow the Holy Spirit to work freely in our lives, leading us toward a life that honors Him.

There will be times when we feel exhausted, frustrated, or discouraged, especially when we do not immediately see the results of what we are doing for the Lord. But Galatians 6:9 reminds us not to grow weary in doing good.

Paul compares this to a farmer who patiently plants and cares for his crops, knowing that he has to wait before he can finally see the harvest. In the same way, we are called to keep sowing in righteousness, to live according to God’s will and continue doing what is good, even when we cannot immediately see the fruit of our obedience.

Sometimes, we may wonder if our efforts are making a difference. We serve, we love, and we do what is right, but the results may not come when or how we expect them to. Yet, the absence of immediate results does not mean that our obedience is meaningless. God sees the seeds we continue to sow.

Even though we are tired or discouraged, let us remain faithful in doing good and trust God with the harvest. We may not always see the fruit right away, but we can trust that in His perfect time, there will be a harvest.

Sermon Title - Sins Against the Holy Spirit, Part 1: Resisting the Spirit; Grieving the Spirit and Quenching the Spirit
Speaker: Dr. Edilberto Banzuelo

Ephesians 4:30 (NIV)
“Do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, with whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.”

The Holy Spirit faithfully convicts, guides, and empowers every believer. Yet Scripture also warns us not to resist His work, grieve His heart, or quench His leading. This Sunday, we will examine these solemn warnings and learn how to respond with a heart that is sensitive, obedient, and fully yielded to God.

Join us as we seek to walk in step with the Holy Spirit and live lives that honor Him.

As we continue reflecting on last Sunday's message, Submitting to the Holy Spirit’s Leading, may this timeless hymn be our prayer throughout the month.

May we willingly surrender every part of our lives to the Lord; our hearts, our minds, our plans, and our desires trusting the Holy Spirit to faithfully lead us according to His perfect will.

Sermon Title - Submission to the Leading of God’s Spirit: The Lives and Work of Three Woman Missionaries from the Great Century of Missions
[Mary Slessor, Amy Carmichael, and Gladys Aylward]
Speaker: Dr. Stewart Young

Psalm 143:10 (NIV)
“Teach me to do your will, for you are my God; may your good Spirit lead me on level ground.”

This Sunday, we reflect on the lives of three women missionaries who faithfully followed God’s leading and surrendered their lives to His call. May their stories challenge us to listen, trust, and submit to the leading of God’s Spirit in our own lives.
