Some Biblical Key Principles in order to balance our life being Christian;
1. Prioritizing God - As we put Him first therefore,we don't give God our excess time,our excess talent, our excess money, our excess effort but rather give Him first.
2. Embracing Every Seasons-Whatever seasons you have, you need to enjoy and endure because God sees all your longings.
3. Honest weight & fair living- we must live with honesty and integrity. The attitude and character of a christian must be seen in us.
4. Renewing of Mind- Let God renewed us everyday.Let His annointing flow and let His perfect plan happens in our life.

Title: "We need to be Restarted to be Restored"
Text: Jonah 1:1-2, 3:1-2
Sis. Shirley Lozano

In the story of Jonah, we saw how He disobey God. He fight his own decision,He fight what He wants to happened but at the end He did not win. He was swallowed by a great fish in which He has no freedom to move because He was prisoned inside the belly's fish . And He came to realized what He has done. He cried to God and asked forgiveness and made His vows. He restarted his life and God restored Him. From his situation God turned his darkness into light---from being prisoned to freedom and from disobedience to obedience. It's a good thing that the great fish was prepared by God--It means that we are hurt sometimes the way He diciplined us but we are safe in his process and it will be worth it when we realized that it is for our own good---for us to be restored.When God restored him, He chose to start over again.He say Yes for the word of God.He preach the word unto Nineveh and because of His willingness, His obedience brought a maximum impact to the people because God did not destroy the city. So, its not bad to start over again as long as the truth is in us. Let us asked God to restart us, to be restored. And if we are restored,God will start using us again because it is His plan that you will be used for his kingdom.

Title: Be Fruitful
Text: Matthew 21:1-4
Ptr. Jaramel B. Lozano
Sa paglilingkod po natin ay dapat may bunga, hindi dahon-dahon lang. Mapasaatin sana ang bunga ng spiritu. Maging ilaw at asin tayo sa ating paligid para maitaas ang Diyos na ating pinaglilingkuran. Huwag po sana tayong maging katulad ng isang bunga ng talong na malinis sa labas ngunit may uuod sa loob. Pinapaalahan tayo ng Diyos na kailangan po nating maging Rooted sa pananalangin, Rooted sa pagbabasa ng kanyang mga salita at Rooted sa kanyang presensiya para malabanan ang mga problema at magkabunga po tayo. Purihin ang Diyos.

Sunday School
Title:Conquering the Promise Land
Text:Exodus 3:8-10
Sunday School Teacher: Bro. Luis Tejada Jr.

In Egypt, the Israelites experienced bad situations in their lives. Their exit from Egypt represents turning away from sin by obeying the commands of God delivered through Moses. Their journey to the Promised Land represents our walk and service to the Lord. Sometimes we also murmured and complained, but when we humbled ourselves, He is faithful and just to forgive ours sins. Lastly, the Promised Land represents the Kingdom of God, showing that when we keep serving the Lord faithfully, He will fight for us.

Preaching

Title: KILL YOUR GIANTS
Text: I Samuel 17:40-50
Pastor Jaramel B. Lozano

In life, we all face giants. Sometimes they are the people around us—our pride, poverty, problems, or a financial crisis—and sometimes they are inside of us. But when you have FAITH in every circumstances, COURAGE for every problems, and OBEDIENCE to God’s commands; when you apply GOD'S WORD to every situations and PRAY in His presence every day, your giants will surely be defeated because you are preserved by the Lord Jesus Christ.

Message:
GOD'S PURPOSE
Text: Isaiah 64:8
Ptr. Jaramel B. Lozano

Today, our Lord Jesus Christ reminded us to always keep in mind that He has a purpose for our lives. Many times, we feel discouraged and doubt our faith, or face situations that affect our service to Him. But remember: He has a better plan. As long as we are willing to be molded, changed, and repaired by Him, we will see the great victory from the Lord just learn to trust and obey the process."

First Sunday of April 2026

Psalm 122:1
I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of the LORD. Our feet shall stand within thy gates, O Jerusalem. Jerusalem is builded as.

Message: THE EMPTY TOMB
Text: Matthew 28:1-10
Pastor Jaramel B. Lozano

1. The empty tomb speaks Jesus' resurrection!
-declares His victory over death!
2. The empty tomb speaks Jesus' power!
-proclaims His ultimate power!
3. The empty tomb speaks Jesus' name!
-testifies authority of His name!

That is a powerful and foundational truth. Yes, Jesus was died but on the third day He is risen.He is not among the dead, for He has conquered the grave!.

So,No matter what you are facing, speak the name of JESUS. He is the risen King, full of power. He knows you intimately. He sees your heart.He understands your needs and is able to fight your battles. keep shouting the name of JESUS.

To God be all the glory!
