𝐈𝐂𝐘𝐌: The 𝐋𝐁𝐂𝐅 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐈𝐍𝐂𝐚𝐩 𝐅𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐲 joyfully celebrated a blessed 𝑪𝒉𝒓𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒎𝒂𝒔 gathering last December 21, 2025. The event was filled with 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗸𝘀𝗴𝗶𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴, 𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆, and 𝗱𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 as everyone was reminded of the true and enduring meaning of 𝑪𝒉𝒓𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒎𝒂𝒔, the birth of our 𝑳𝒐𝒓𝒅 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝑺𝒂𝒗𝒊𝒐𝒓, 𝑱𝒆𝒔𝒖𝒔 𝑪𝒉𝒓𝒊𝒔𝒕.

𝗟𝘂𝗸𝗲 𝟮:𝟭𝟬–𝟭𝟭:

This divine announcement declared the fulfillment of God’s promise of salvation. It revealed that the 𝙡𝙤𝙣𝙜-𝙖𝙬𝙖𝙞𝙩𝙚𝙙 𝙈𝙚𝙨𝙨𝙞𝙖𝙝 𝙝𝙖𝙙 𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙚, 𝙣𝙤𝙩 𝙤𝙣𝙡𝙮 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙖 𝙨𝙚𝙡𝙚𝙘𝙩 𝙛𝙚𝙬 𝙗𝙪𝙩 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙖𝙡𝙡 𝙥𝙚𝙤𝙥𝙡𝙚. The angels’ message invites every believer to 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗽𝗼𝗻𝗱 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗳𝗮𝗶𝘁𝗵, 𝗴𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘁𝘂𝗱𝗲, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽, 𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗴𝗻𝗶𝘇𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗝𝗲𝘀𝘂𝘀 𝗖𝗵𝗿𝗶𝘀𝘁 𝗮𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝗮𝘃𝗶𝗼𝗿 𝘄𝗵𝗼 𝗯𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 𝗵𝗼𝗽𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗿𝗼𝗸𝗲𝗻, 𝗽𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘆, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗿𝗲𝗱𝗲𝗺𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗼 𝗮 𝗳𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗻 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱.

𝑪𝒉𝒓𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒎𝒂𝒔 is a season that many eagerly anticipate. It is a time when families reunite, friendships are strengthened, gifts are exchanged, and joyful traditions are shared. However, amid these celebrations, it is important to remember that 𝑪𝒉𝒓𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒎𝒂𝒔 is more than customs and festivities. It is a sacred occasion to 𝗴𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗸𝘀, 𝗿𝗲𝗷𝗼𝗶𝗰𝗲, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗼𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽 𝘁𝗼 𝑱𝒆𝒔𝒖𝒔 𝑪𝒉𝒓𝒊𝒔𝒕, 𝘄𝗵𝗼 𝗰𝗮𝗺𝗲 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱 𝗮𝘀 𝗚𝗼𝗱’𝘀 𝗴𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗴𝗶𝗳𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗵𝘂𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆.

𝐈𝐂𝐘𝐌: Last Saturday (December 13, 2025), the 𝐋𝐁𝐂𝐅 𝐋𝐚𝐝𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐃𝐞𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 celebrated a glorious and meaningful 𝑪𝒉𝒓𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒎𝒂𝒔 gathering.

The event, led by 𝗣𝘁𝗿𝗮. 𝗥𝗮𝗾𝘂𝗲𝗹 𝗕𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗮𝗹𝗲𝘀, carried the theme “𝘾𝙚𝙡𝙚𝙗𝙧𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙂𝙤𝙙’𝙨 𝙇𝙤𝙫𝙚” emphasizing the greatness of our Father’s love revealed through the gift of His one and only Son.

As said in 𝗝𝗼𝗵𝗻 𝟯:𝟭𝟲:
“𝐹𝑜𝑟 𝐺𝑜𝑑 𝑠𝑜 𝑙𝑜𝑣𝑒𝑑 𝑡𝘩𝑒 𝑤𝑜𝑟𝑙𝑑 𝑡𝘩𝑎𝑡 𝐻𝑒 𝑔𝑎𝑣𝑒 𝐻𝑖𝑠 𝑜𝑛𝑙𝑦 𝑆𝑜𝑛٫ 𝑡𝘩𝑎𝑡 𝑤𝘩𝑜𝑒𝑣𝑒𝑟 𝑏𝑒𝑙𝑖𝑒𝑣𝑒𝑠 𝑖𝑛 𝐻𝑖𝑚 𝑠𝘩𝑜𝑢𝑙𝑑 𝑛𝑜𝑡 𝑝𝑒𝑟𝑖𝑠𝘩 𝑏𝑢𝑡 𝘩𝑎𝑣𝑒 𝑒𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑛𝑎𝑙 𝑙𝑖𝑓𝑒.”

The celebration was filled not only with 𝗹𝗮𝘂𝗴𝗵𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗷𝗼𝘆 but, more importantly, with a 𝗺𝗲𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴𝗳𝘂𝗹 𝗺𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗮𝗴𝗲. 𝑪𝒉𝒓𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒎𝒂𝒔 is often seen merely as a season of receiving and giving gifts as an expression of love; however, we sometimes lose sight of its true meaning. The practice of giving gifts during 𝑪𝒉𝒓𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒎𝒂𝒔 reflects how 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗙𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗱𝗲𝗺𝗼𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗛𝗶𝘀 𝗹𝗼𝘃𝗲 by giving us the 𝗴𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗴𝗶𝗳𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗮𝗹𝗹, the birth of 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗟𝗼𝗿𝗱 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗦𝗮𝘃𝗶𝗼𝗿, 𝗝𝗲𝘀𝘂𝘀 𝗖𝗵𝗿𝗶𝘀𝘁.

𝗚𝗼𝗱 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗙𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗱𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗿𝗲𝘀 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗿𝗲𝗱𝗲𝗺𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 and has provided a way for us to return to Him. Despite our sins and turning away from Him, this gift reminds us of 𝗛𝗶𝘀 𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗰𝗲 and calls us to 𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻.

Through this celebration, we were reminded to 𝑟𝑒𝑓𝑙𝑒𝑐𝑡 𝐺𝑜𝑑ˊ𝑠 𝑙𝑜𝑣𝑒 𝑖𝑛 𝑜𝑢𝑟 𝑑𝑎𝑖𝑙𝑦 𝑙𝑖𝑣𝑒𝑠, to 𝑙𝑖𝑣𝑒 𝑖𝑛 𝑔𝑟𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑡𝑢𝑑𝑒 𝑓𝑜𝑟 𝐻𝑖𝑠 𝑠𝑎𝑐𝑟𝑖𝑓𝑖𝑐𝑒, and to 𝑠𝘩𝑎𝑟𝑒 𝑡𝘩𝑒 𝑡𝑟𝑢𝑒 𝑚𝑒𝑠𝑠𝑎𝑔𝑒 𝑜𝑓 𝐶𝘩𝑟𝑖𝑠𝑡𝑚𝑎𝑠 𝑤𝑖𝑡𝘩 𝑜𝑡𝘩𝑒𝑟𝑠.

We may keep it in our hearts that 𝗝𝗲𝘀𝘂𝘀 𝗖𝗵𝗿𝗶𝘀𝘁 is the center of 𝑪𝒉𝒓𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒎𝒂𝒔, the 𝑆𝑎𝑣𝑖𝑜𝑟 𝑤𝘩𝑜 𝘩𝑢𝑚𝑏𝑙𝑒𝑑 𝐻𝑖𝑚𝑠𝑒𝑙𝑓 to dwell among us, the 𝑒𝑥𝑡𝑒𝑛𝑠𝑖𝑜𝑛 𝑜𝑓 𝑜𝑢𝑟 𝐹𝑎𝑡𝘩𝑒𝑟ˊ𝑠 𝑙𝑜𝑣𝑒, the 𝑅𝑒𝑑𝑒𝑒𝑚𝑒𝑟 𝑤𝘩𝑜 𝑔𝑎𝑣𝑒 𝐻𝑖𝑠 𝑙𝑖𝑓𝑒 𝑓𝑜𝑟 𝑜𝑢𝑟 𝑠𝑎𝑙𝑣𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛, and the 𝑙𝑖𝑣𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝘩𝑜𝑝𝑒 𝑤𝘩𝑜 𝑐𝑜𝑛𝑡𝑖𝑛𝑢𝑒𝑠 𝑡𝑜 𝑡𝑟𝑎𝑛𝑠𝑓𝑜𝑟𝑚 𝑙𝑖𝑣𝑒𝑠 𝑡𝘩𝑟𝑜𝑢𝑔𝘩 𝐻𝑖𝑠 𝑙𝑜𝑣𝑒.

Last Sunday (𝗗𝗲𝗰𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝟭𝟰, 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟱), we were deeply reminded that 𝐶ℎ𝑟𝑖𝑠𝑡𝑚𝑎𝑠 𝑖𝑠 𝑛𝑜𝑡 𝑜𝑛𝑙𝑦 𝑎 𝑠𝑒𝑎𝑠𝑜𝑛 𝑜𝑓 𝑔𝑖𝑣𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑔𝑖𝑓𝑡𝑠, 𝑏𝑢𝑡 𝑎 𝑐𝑒𝑙𝑒𝑏𝑟𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 𝑜𝑓 𝐺𝑜𝑑’𝑠 𝑢𝑙𝑡𝑖𝑚𝑎𝑡𝑒 𝑔𝑒𝑛𝑒𝑟𝑜𝑠𝑖𝑡𝑦 which was preached by Pastor Carlito San Jose.

As emphasized in the message:

“𝑨𝒏𝒈 𝒑𝒂𝒈𝒌𝒂𝒃𝒖𝒌𝒂𝒔-𝒑𝒂𝒍𝒂𝒅 𝒂𝒚 𝒉𝒊𝒈𝒊𝒕 𝒑𝒂 𝒔𝒂 𝒑𝒂𝒈𝒃𝒊𝒃𝒊𝒈𝒂𝒚 𝒍𝒂𝒎𝒂𝒏𝒈 𝒏𝒈 𝒑𝒆𝒓𝒂 𝒐 𝒎𝒈𝒂 𝒓𝒆𝒈𝒂𝒍𝒐 – 𝒊𝒕𝒐 𝒂𝒚 𝒊𝒔𝒂𝒏𝒈 𝒑𝒐𝒔𝒕𝒖𝒓𝒂 𝒏𝒈 𝒑𝒖𝒔𝒐 𝒏𝒂 𝒑𝒖𝒎𝒊𝒑𝒊𝒍𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒊𝒃𝒂𝒉𝒂𝒈𝒊 𝒌𝒖𝒏𝒈 𝒂𝒏𝒐𝒏𝒈 𝒎𝒂𝒚𝒓𝒐𝒐𝒏 𝒕𝒂𝒚𝒐 (𝒐𝒓𝒂𝒔, 𝒎𝒂𝒑𝒂𝒈𝒌𝒖𝒌𝒖𝒏𝒂𝒏, 𝒑𝒂𝒈𝒎𝒂𝒎𝒂𝒉𝒂𝒍, 𝒃𝒊𝒚𝒂𝒚𝒂) 𝒏𝒂𝒏𝒈 𝒎𝒂𝒍𝒂𝒚𝒂 𝒂𝒕 𝒌𝒖𝒔𝒂𝒏𝒈-𝒍𝒐𝒐𝒃, 𝒏𝒂𝒏𝒈 𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒅𝒊 𝒖𝒎𝒂𝒂𝒔𝒂 𝒏𝒈 𝒂𝒏𝒖𝒎𝒂𝒏𝒈 𝒌𝒂𝒑𝒂𝒍𝒊𝒕.”

Pastor Lito carefully unpacked Juan 3:16, verse by verse:

“𝑺𝒂𝒑𝒂𝒈𝒌𝒂𝒕 𝒈𝒂𝒚𝒐𝒏 𝒏𝒂 𝒍𝒂𝒎𝒂𝒏𝒈 𝒂𝒏𝒈 𝒑𝒂𝒈-𝒊𝒃𝒊𝒈 𝒏𝒈 𝑫𝒊𝒚𝒐𝒔 𝒔𝒂 𝒔𝒂𝒏𝒍𝒊𝒃𝒖𝒕𝒂𝒏...”
Ang salitang “𝑔𝑎𝑦𝑜𝑛𝑔 𝑛𝑎 𝑙𝑎𝑚𝑎𝑛𝑔” ay nagbibigay-diin sa laki at lawak ng pag-ibig ng Diyos; isang pag-ibig na hindi limitado, hindi may kondisyon, at sumasaklaw sa lahat ng sangkatauhan.

“...𝒏𝒂 𝒊𝒃𝒊𝒏𝒊𝒈𝒂𝒚 𝑵𝒊𝒚𝒂 𝒂𝒏𝒈 𝑲𝒂𝒏𝒚𝒂𝒏𝒈 𝒃𝒖𝒈𝒕𝒐𝒏𝒈 𝒏𝒂 𝑨𝒏𝒂𝒌...”
Ang salitang “𝑖𝑏𝑖𝑛𝑖𝑔𝑎𝑦” ang puso ng talata. Ipinapakita nito ang pagkabukas-palad ng Diyos bilang sakripisyo. Ang Kanyang bugtong na Anak ay hindi lamang basta regalo, ito ay ang Kanyang pinakamahalaga.

“...𝒖𝒑𝒂𝒏𝒈 𝒂𝒏𝒈 𝒔𝒊𝒏𝒖𝒎𝒂𝒏𝒈 𝒏𝒂𝒏𝒊𝒏𝒊𝒘𝒂𝒍𝒂 𝒔𝒂 𝑲𝒂𝒏𝒚𝒂 𝒂𝒚 𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒅𝒊 𝒎𝒂𝒑𝒂𝒉𝒂𝒎𝒂𝒌 𝒌𝒖𝒏𝒅𝒊 𝒎𝒂𝒈𝒌𝒂𝒓𝒐𝒐𝒏 𝒏𝒈 𝒃𝒖𝒉𝒂𝒚 𝒏𝒂 𝒘𝒂𝒍𝒂𝒏𝒈 𝒉𝒂𝒏𝒈𝒈𝒂𝒏.”
Ang layunin ng pagbibigay ng Diyos ay kaligtasan. Ito ay isang kaloob na malayang iniaalok, may walang hanggang bunga, at walang ibang kundisyon kundi ang pananampalataya.

At sa buong kasaysayan ng Kristiyanismo, ang Pasko ay panahon ng kawanggawa at pag-abot sa kapwa.

Minsan, iniisip natin na dahil patuloy tayong pumupunta sa church, nakikinig sa preaching, at nakikilahok sa gawain, ay nasa faith pa rin tayo. But Pastor Vin gently pointed out that 𝒃𝒆𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒂𝒄𝒕𝒊𝒗𝒆 𝒊𝒏 𝒄𝒉𝒖𝒓𝒄𝒉 𝒅𝒐𝒆𝒔 𝒏𝒐𝒕 𝒂𝒍𝒘𝒂𝒚𝒔 𝒎𝒆𝒂𝒏 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒓𝒆𝒍𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏𝒔𝒉𝒊𝒑 𝒘𝒊𝒕𝒉 𝑱𝒆𝒔𝒖𝒔 𝒊𝒔 𝒔𝒕𝒊𝒍𝒍 𝒂𝒍𝒊𝒗𝒆 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒔𝒕𝒓𝒐𝒏𝒈.

He encouraged everyone 𝘁𝗼 𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗸 𝗱𝗲𝗲𝗽𝗲𝗿. Some Christians feel busy and fulfilled because of ministry and church work, pero kapag sinuri ang puso, they may realize that their connection with Christ has quietly weakened. 𝑁𝑎𝑤𝑎𝑤𝑎𝑙𝑎 𝑎𝑛𝑔 𝑡𝑢𝑛𝑎𝑦 𝑛𝑎 𝑐𝑙𝑜𝑠𝑒𝑛𝑒𝑠𝑠 𝑠𝑎 𝑃𝑎𝑛𝑔𝑖𝑛𝑜𝑜𝑛 𝑘𝑎ℎ𝑖𝑡 𝑎𝑏𝑎𝑙𝑎 𝑠𝑎 𝑔𝑎𝑤𝑎𝑖𝑛.

Pastor Vin also shared that if Christ is not truly living in our hearts, it will be evident. 𝑊𝑎𝑙𝑎 𝑘𝑎𝑛𝑔 𝑚𝑎𝑘𝑖𝑘𝑖𝑡𝑎𝑛𝑔 𝑏𝑢𝑛𝑔𝑎, 𝑤𝑎𝑙𝑎𝑛𝑔 𝑡𝑢𝑛𝑎𝑦 𝑛𝑎 𝑟𝑒𝑠𝑢𝑙𝑡𝑎, 𝑎𝑡 𝑤𝑎𝑙𝑎𝑛𝑔 𝑝𝑎𝑔𝑏𝑎𝑏𝑎𝑔𝑜 𝑠𝑎 𝑏𝑢ℎ𝑎𝑦. 𝑻𝒓𝒖𝒆 𝒇𝒂𝒊𝒕𝒉 𝒂𝒍𝒘𝒂𝒚𝒔 𝒑𝒓𝒐𝒅𝒖𝒄𝒆𝒔 𝒂𝒄𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏, 𝒕𝒓𝒂𝒏𝒔𝒇𝒐𝒓𝒎𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏, 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒂 𝒍𝒊𝒇𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒓𝒆𝒇𝒍𝒆𝒄𝒕𝒔 𝑱𝒆𝒔𝒖𝒔.

He gently urged everyone to 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗮 𝗺𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗿𝗲𝗳𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁. As we attend church and join ministry, 𝑛𝑎𝑛𝑑𝑖𝑦𝑎𝑛 𝑝𝑎 𝑏𝑎 𝑡𝑎𝑙𝑎𝑔𝑎 𝑎𝑛𝑔 𝑃𝑎𝑛𝑔𝑖𝑛𝑜𝑜𝑛𝑔 𝐽𝑒𝑠𝑢𝑠 𝑠𝑎 𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑛? Without Him, our efforts and participation in church will not bear lasting spiritual fruit.

The message ended with a sincere call to every believer:

Last Sunday’s service was a gentle yet powerful message that even in the midst of life’s storms, God is always present, the lifting hand we can always reach out to.

𝗣𝘁𝗿. 𝗖𝗮𝗿𝗹𝗶𝘁𝗼 𝗦𝗮𝗻 𝗝𝗼𝘀𝗲 led us through 𝗔𝘄𝗶𝘁 𝟰𝟲:𝟭-𝟯 (𝗣𝘀𝗮𝗹𝗺 𝟰𝟲:𝟭-𝟯),

“𝐴𝑛𝑔 𝐷𝑖𝑦𝑜𝑠 𝑎𝑛𝑔 𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑘𝑎𝑛𝑙𝑢𝑛𝑔𝑎𝑛 𝑎𝑡 𝑘𝑎𝑙𝑎𝑘𝑎𝑠𝑎𝑛. 𝑆𝑖𝑦𝑎ʼ𝑦 𝑙𝑎𝑔𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑛𝑎𝑘𝑎𝘩𝑎𝑛𝑑𝑎𝑛𝑔 𝑠𝑢𝑚𝑎𝑘𝑙𝑜𝑙𝑜 𝑠𝑎 𝑜𝑟𝑎𝑠 𝑛𝑔 𝑘𝑎𝑔𝑖𝑝𝑖𝑡𝑎𝑛. 𝐾𝑎𝑦𝑎 𝘩𝑢𝑤𝑎𝑔 𝑡𝑎𝑦𝑜𝑛𝑔 𝑚𝑎𝑡𝑎𝑡𝑎𝑘𝑜𝑡 𝑘𝑎𝘩𝑖𝑡 𝑙𝑢𝑚𝑖𝑛𝑑𝑜𝑙 𝑚𝑎𝑛٫ 𝑎𝑡 𝑔𝑢𝑚𝑢𝘩𝑜 𝑎𝑛𝑔 𝑚𝑔𝑎 𝑏𝑢𝑛𝑑𝑜𝑘 𝑎𝑡 𝑏𝑢𝑚𝑎𝑔𝑠𝑎𝑘 𝑠𝑎 𝑘𝑎𝑟𝑎𝑔𝑎𝑡𝑎𝑛. 𝐻𝑢𝑚𝑎𝑚𝑝𝑎𝑠 𝑚𝑎𝑛 𝑎𝑡 𝑢𝑚𝑢𝑔𝑜𝑛𝑔 𝑎𝑛𝑔 𝑚𝑔𝑎 𝑎𝑙𝑜𝑛 𝑛𝑎 𝑛𝑎𝑔𝑙𝑎𝑙𝑎𝑘𝑖𝘩𝑎𝑛٫ 𝑎𝑡 𝑚𝑎𝑦𝑎𝑛𝑖𝑔 𝑎𝑛𝑔 𝑘𝑎𝑏𝑢𝑛𝑑𝑢𝑘𝑎𝑛.”

This scripture reminds us that no matter how fierce the trials of life, God’s presence is unshakable. Even when circumstances feel overwhelming, He is our steady refuge and source of strength.

Emphasizing God as our ultimate refuge, 𝗣𝘁𝗿. 𝗖𝗮𝗿𝗹𝗶𝘁𝗼 𝗦𝗮𝗻 𝗝𝗼𝘀𝗲 shared,

“𝑨𝒏𝒈 𝑫𝒊𝒚𝒐𝒔 𝒂𝒏𝒈 𝒑𝒊𝒏𝒂𝒌𝒂𝒎𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒃𝒂𝒚 𝒐 𝒍𝒊𝒈𝒕𝒂𝒔 𝒏𝒂 𝒍𝒖𝒈𝒂𝒓 𝒏𝒂 𝒑𝒖𝒘𝒆𝒅𝒆 𝒎𝒐𝒏𝒈 𝒕𝒂𝒌𝒃𝒖𝒉𝒂𝒏 𝒌𝒂𝒑𝒂𝒈 𝒕𝒂𝒚𝒐’𝒚 𝒏𝒂𝒌𝒂𝒓𝒂𝒓𝒂𝒏𝒂𝒔 𝒏𝒈 𝒑𝒂𝒈𝒔𝒖𝒃𝒐𝒌 𝒔𝒂 𝒃𝒖𝒉𝒂𝒚 𝒏𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒏.”

He reminded us that God is the strength that keeps us going, even when we feel like we are running out of ways.

“...𝑲𝒂𝒉𝒊𝒕 𝒔𝒊𝒏𝒈𝒍𝒂𝒌𝒊 𝒏𝒈 𝒃𝒂𝒓𝒌𝒐 𝒂𝒏𝒈 𝒑𝒂𝒈𝒔𝒖𝒃𝒐𝒌 𝒎𝒐, 𝒃𝒊𝒃𝒊𝒈𝒚𝒂𝒏 𝒌𝒂 𝒏𝒂𝒎𝒂𝒏 𝒏𝒈 𝑫𝒊𝒚𝒐𝒔 𝒏𝒈 𝒔𝒊𝒏𝒈𝒍𝒂𝒘𝒂𝒌 𝒏𝒈 𝒌𝒂𝒓𝒂𝒈𝒂𝒕𝒂𝒏 𝒏𝒂 𝒔𝒐𝒍𝒖𝒔𝒚𝒐𝒏.”

We may feel like we're drowning in our challenges, but remember that God is already reaching out for help. As 𝟭 𝗖𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗮𝗻𝘀 𝟭𝟬:𝟭𝟯 assures us,

“...𝐻𝑒 𝑤𝑖𝑙𝑙 𝑛𝑜𝑡 𝑙𝑒𝑡 𝑦𝑜𝑢 𝑏𝑒 𝑡𝑒𝑚𝑝𝑡𝑒𝑑 𝑏𝑒𝑦𝑜𝑛𝑑 𝑦𝑜𝑢𝑟 𝑎𝑏𝑖𝑙𝑖𝑡𝑦٫ 𝑏𝑢𝑡 𝑤𝑖𝑡𝘩 𝑡𝘩𝑒 𝑡𝑒𝑚𝑝𝑡𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 𝘩𝑒 𝑤𝑖𝑙𝑙 𝑎𝑙𝑠𝑜 𝑝𝑟𝑜𝑣𝑖𝑑𝑒 𝑡𝘩𝑒 𝑤𝑎𝑦 𝑜𝑓 𝑒𝑠𝑐𝑎𝑝𝑒٫ 𝑡𝘩𝑎𝑡 𝑦𝑜𝑢 𝑚𝑎𝑦 𝑏𝑒 𝑎𝑏𝑙𝑒 𝑡𝑜 𝑒𝑛𝑑𝑢𝑟𝑒 𝑖𝑡.”

Before the day ends, I want you to reflect on your faith in God with this question that 𝗣𝘁𝗿. 𝗖𝗮𝗿𝗹𝗶𝘁𝗼 𝗦𝗮𝗻 𝗝𝗼𝘀𝗲 asked,

“𝑲𝒖𝒏𝒈 𝒂𝒏𝒈 𝑫𝒊𝒚𝒐𝒔 𝒂𝒏𝒈 𝒌𝒊𝒏𝒊𝒌𝒊𝒍𝒂𝒍𝒂 𝒎𝒐𝒏𝒈 𝒌𝒂𝒏𝒍𝒖𝒏𝒈𝒂𝒏 𝒂𝒕 𝒏𝒂𝒈𝒃𝒊𝒃𝒊𝒈𝒂𝒚 𝒏𝒈 𝒌𝒂𝒍𝒂𝒌𝒂𝒔𝒂𝒏 𝒂𝒕 𝒌𝒂𝒑𝒂𝒏𝒈𝒚𝒂𝒓𝒊𝒉𝒂𝒏 𝒔𝒂’𝒚𝒐, 𝒃𝒂𝒌𝒊𝒕 𝒌𝒂 𝒎𝒂𝒕𝒂𝒕𝒂𝒌𝒐𝒕? 𝑨𝒏𝒐 𝒂𝒏𝒈 𝒅𝒂𝒑𝒂𝒕 𝒎𝒐𝒏𝒈 𝒌𝒂𝒕𝒂𝒌𝒖𝒕𝒂𝒏?”
