Scripture Text: Galatians 6:9

Padayon lang sa paghimo sang maayo kag sa pagpangamuyo, kay ang Ginoo gapamati kag nakakita sang tanan naton nga pagpangabudlayan. In God’s perfect time, maga ani kita sang blessings kag harvest sang aton pagtuo. 🙏

Our God is powerful — He is the Savior of mankind. Let us continue to be stronger in faith and persevere in our prayers. ✨

3L in our Lives:

Lamp — Be a light to others and shine for Christ.
Life Boat — Help save those who are sinking in despair.
Ladder — Continue to grow as Christians and lead others to salvation.

Never Give Up. God is working even when we cannot see it. 🤍

Scripture text: Hebrews 12:1–2

Our life should be a witness for Jesus Christ. We are called to obey the Lord, trust His plans, and go where He wants us to be. Even when people may not fully know our struggles, God sees our heart and our journey.

Life is like a race — there will be times that we stumble, become weak, or fall. But as Christians, we must stand up, move forward, and finish the race with faith. 🙏

Use your life for the purpose of the King.
Do not focus only on other people — examine your own heart and walk with God.

Like an athlete preparing for victory, we must also prepare spiritually through prayer, obedience, and faith.

✨ Three powerful words of winners:
“Jesus Never Fails.”

Our encouragement comes from Him because our Lord is the same yesterday, today, and forever. His love for sinners never changes. Jesus Christ is the Author and Finisher of our faith. 🤍

So today, ask yourself:
Are you living as a winner in Christ?

“Certainty for Worshipers in an Uncertain World”
📖 Luke 1:1–4

In times when everything feels uncertain, we are reminded that our faith is grounded in truth. Luke didn’t just write stories—he carefully investigated, gathered eyewitness accounts, and presented everything in an orderly and reliable way. This shows us that what we believe in is not blind faith, but a faith built on solid foundation.

✨ Truth gives us certainty.
✨ Certainty builds confident faith.
✨ Confident faith leads to proper worship.

Because of the testimonies of those who personally witnessed Jesus, the Gospel spread—and until now, God continues to use transformed lives to reach others.

Let us remain rooted in a Christ-centered church, where truth is preached and worship is genuine.

Sa kalibutan nga puno sang pagduhaduha, may kasiguraduhan kita—ang aton pagtuo ara sa kamatuoran, kag si Jesus amo ang sentro sang tanan. 🙏💛

Text: John 21:1–19

We celebrated the resurrection of Jesus—and with that comes a powerful question: Now what?

Because Christ is alive, we are called to live a new life. “If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come.” This is not just a message—it’s a transformation.

Like Peter and the disciples, we are reminded of our true purpose. We are not just called to go back to our old ways, but to become fishers of men. Our duty is to bring people closer to the Lord and encourage one another in faith.

Sometimes, we fail to recognize Jesus in our lives—just like the disciples did. Often, it is only through His miracles and provision that we truly see Him moving. But the message is clear: when we obey, provision comes.

“Trust and obey, for there is no other way.”

Jesus calls us again:
“Feed my lambs. Feed my sheep. Follow me.”

Let us continue living a resurrected life—walking in obedience, trusting His provision, and answering His call. 🙏

Scripture Text: Job 1:20

“The True Christian in Time of Crisis”

Crisis reveals the kind of faith we truly have.
When trials come, a true Christian does not turn away from God—but chooses to worship, trust, and remain faithful.

Job lost everything, yet he still bowed before the Lord in worship.
He understood that everything comes from God, and even in great loss, he did not stop trusting Him.

✨ In times of crisis, a true Christian:
• Still worships God despite hardship
• Still trusts God despite pain and uncertainty
• Still keeps integrity despite the pressure to compromise

May we be reminded that real faith is not only seen in times of blessing, but also in times of brokenness.

Ang matuod nga Kristohanon, bisan sa tunga sang pagsulay, padayon nga nagasimba, nagasalig sa Ginoo, kag wala nagabaylo sang iya pagtuo kag integridad.

“Standing Firm in the Last Days”
Scripture Text: Matthew 24:3–14

Last Sunday, we were reminded that in these last days, we must remain strong and faithful as we face the spiritual WAR:

W – Watchfulness
Be alert to deception, observe the signs without fear, and live with eyes open.
➡️ Practical Application: Daily Bible reading, prayer, and fellowship sharpen our spiritual eyes.

A – Awareness
Be aware of persecution, moral decay, and the influence of the world. Awareness helps us endure and stay grounded in truth.
➡️ Practical Application: Observe your surroundings, test every teaching, and stay alert to worldly influences.

R – Readiness
Remain steadfast in faith, be ready to share the gospel, and live in anticipation of Christ’s return.
➡️ Practical Application: Build spiritual routines, evangelize, and live each day ready for the coming of Christ.

May we not just hear the Word, but live it out daily—watchful, aware, and ready for whatever comes. 🔥

“Pressing On Toward the Prize”

Last Sunday, we were reminded of the prize we receive when we finish our race in Christ.

The Prize We Press On For:
• Salvation and Eternal Life – a prize beyond compare
• Crown of Life – received through faithfulness amid trials
• Crown of Righteousness
• Crown of Glory
• Heaven and life with God – the most beautiful reward of all

➡️ FORWARD
•We choose to focus, not look back.
•Our past mistakes should not define our future.
•Spiritual growth is intentional.
•The past is a reference, not a residence.

⚔️ FIGHT FOR IT
•The Christian life requires faithful effort.
•It is a daily spiritual battle.
•We swim against the current of a world pulling us away from God.
•Faithfulness requires intentional choices every day.

🏁 FINISH / FINISH LINE
“I press on to win the prize.” — Tanan may finish line.
We may not know when or how, but there is a finish line, and Christlikeness is the goal.
•Bulahan ang gapadayun asta sa katapusan.
•Perseverance is required to finish strong.

🙏 Let us keep pressing on—forward, faithful, and focused—until we reach the prize in Christ.
