Hello, BAEC FAM!

We warmly invite you to join our Basic Biblical Interpretation session — a meaningful time of learning how to understand and study the Word of God correctly and faithfully.

The Bible was not only meant to be read, but also understood in its proper context so we can apply it rightly in our lives today. Together, let us discover practical and simple principles that will help us grow deeper in our walk with God and handle His Word with wisdom and truth.

Whether you are a new believer, ministry worker, student, or simply someone who desires to know God more, this session is for you!

Come, learn, reflect, and grow with us as we study God’s Word together on May 27, 2026 (Wednesday)| 9:00 AM.

"Hindi galing, talino, o kalakasan ang kailangan para manalo. Kailangan mo lang ng tunay na suporta, pagmamahal, at tulong. Because being a Christian is not an individualistic thing—you need someone, a coach, who will journey with you toward becoming like Christ." - Coach Piolo

TUESDAY: The Betrayal – Guarding the Heart
Matthew 26:14–25

Judas’ betrayal reminds us that spiritual distance often begins long before visible failure. Though he walked with Jesus, his heart had already drifted toward selfish gain and hidden compromise. Betrayal was not a sudden act—it was the fruit of neglected devotion and misplaced desire. In the same way, our hearts can slowly grow cold while we continue outward religious activity. Jesus, however, sees beyond appearances into the true condition of our hearts. This day calls us to honest reflection. Are we nurturing intimacy with Christ, or allowing subtle distractions and desires to pull us away from Him without even realizing it?

Reflective Questions:
Where in my life am I slowly drifting away from God?
What hidden attitudes or desires compete with my loyalty to Jesus?
Am I nurturing intimacy with Christ or neglecting it?

MONDAY: The Anointing – Love that Gives All
📖 Matthew 26:6–13

At the beginning of this sacred week, a woman breaks an alabaster jar and pours out costly perfume on Jesus. Others see waste, but Jesus sees worship. This moment reveals that true love for Christ is not calculated—it is poured out freely and sacrificially. She gives her best without hesitation, holding nothing back. In contrast, we often measure our devotion, giving only what feels safe. Yet Jesus is worthy of our all. Love that honors Him is extravagant, bold, and unashamed. Today, we are invited to examine whether our devotion is convenient—or truly surrendered at His feet.

Reflective Questions:
•What is most precious in my life that I struggle to surrender to Jesus?
•Do I give Jesus my leftovers or my best?
•Is my love for Him expressive, or hidden and reserved?

The Call of a Disciple
Matthew 4:18-22

It all started on the Shore of the Sea of Galilee. Jesus knew from the very start that He needed someone to journey Him in His ministry for three years. Where He would train, He would equip and impart them His vision and His heartbeat. So, that, in the long run, they would be the ones who will do the work.

Simon and Andrew, when Jesus invited them to follow Him, they instantly left their nets and followed Him. Likewise, when James and John heard Jesus' call, they left their boat and their father and followed Him.

They were ordinary people who worked as a fishermen. When they heard Jesus' voice to follow Him, without hesitation, without questioning Him, they simply followed Him.

Jesus started off with a simple invitation. In reality, they are unaware of the depth of Jesus' identity and they don't fully understand what it means to follow Him but when they called them they followed Him - they left their source of income, their family, their security - everything that was familiar and comfortable - just to follow Him.

Responding fully and promptly to Jesus' invitation is what the call of discipleship is all about. However, leaving a comfortable way of life is quite challenging.

Simon, Andrew, James, and John—without a second thought, they left everything behind—their old way of life, their identities, their old selves, their old habits, and even their jobs—and they committed themselves and their future to Jesus. And that is what a disciple does.

This is the reality that we have to face. The moment we decide to follow Jesus and become His disciples, we have to leave the things we are comfortable with so that He may fill us. It's difficult, but it must be done. We leave what's familiar and trust where He will lead us and embrace the life that He offers us just as His disciples did.

Jesus said, "I will make you," this is a promise of transformation. Jesus did not settle for the crowd that just admiring Him from afar. He intentionally fixes His eyes on those who are willing, obedient, and committed to follow Him. He gradually transforms us as we follow Him. He equips us and empowers us to become in His likeness - this is the beauty of discipleship.

When he first called His disciples to follow Him, they had nothing, they left everything behind. But when they followed Him they transformed them; from their old habits to journeying in Christ. From their old ways of life, they were given new directions. From their old identities to being called the disciples of Christ. From their old selves to new creation. And from being a fishermen they become fishers of men.

Transformation is His work in us. But to be committed is in us. Jesus did not simply called us to belive in Him but He called us to follow Him and He will give us transformation.

There will be no transformation if we are not fully committed to Christ. After all, the invitation of Christ to follow Him is given to all and for free. To be His disciples is not compulsory; it is our own free will to decide.

Jesus doesn't want us to be Christians in name only. Discipleship is not based on adding numbers within the church but on the numbers of those who are transformed into His likeness.

To be a disciple is to be transformed by Jesus.

Are you willing to follow Him and to be transformed?

From the Shore of the Sea of Galilee to our present generation, the call of discipleship continues. It is from all ages and walks of life. Whoever you are? Regardless of your background or from where you are. Jesus is saying, "Come, follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men."

We often think peace is something we have to buy—through vacations, comforts, or escape. But real rest isn’t expensive. It’s found in something much simpler: a quiet moment, a surrendered heart, and the gentle presence of Jesus.

Sometimes all it takes is to pause… breathe… and be still.

In that stillness, we realize we are not alone, not rushed, not required to perform. We are simply held.

True peace doesn’t come from what we spent—it comes from Who we’re with.

Vision and Strategy of Jesus

Discipleship is the heartbeat of the Lord Jesus Christ. He wants discipleship to be the pulse of every church, particularly in the hearts of His followers. This is more than church activity or a ministry.

Before Jesus ascended to heaven, He entrusted this mission to His disciples, and it reaches our generation and the generations to come.

Jesus had a clear vision of how He would fulfill His purpose and mission before He ever set foot on earth. He had two visions; these were:
1. To save the world and
2. To make people lovers of God.

But how could He do this? There was a strategy that Jesus used to fulfill them—discipleship.

Jesus wants us to be saved from our sins because sin is what will lead humanity to hell. Jesus did not come to build a church, religion, or denominations; He clearly wants to save us from our sins. And after saving us from our sins, He wants us to be lovers of God.

And to fulfill this, He called 12 people and became His disciples. For three years, Jesus was with His disciples on every journey; He ministered to them, taught them, and molded them. He intentionally spent time with them, and later on, when He ascended to heaven, they were the ones who preached and continued the work that Jesus left behind, and most of all, because the heartbeat of Jesus had already flowed into them.

Now brothers and sisters in Christ, the vision and heartbeat of Jesus Christ should also be present in our hearts. He left us the framework to win people to become His disciples. We are not groping in the dark about what we should do to win people for Christ because from the beginning, Jesus is our ultimate example of how he did - and he did it through discipleship.

We are called to live out the great commission. This mission is not limited to a few, but it is entrusted to every believer, and that includes you.

Being a disciple is more than just going to church; it is a person's intentionality to follow the Lord Jesus Christ, to be transformed into Christ-like, hold on to the truth, and join in His mission.

Many of us have a variety of reasons for not doing as we are told, including fear, shame, and doubt. But let us keep in mind that we would not know the Lord Jesus Christ today, we would not feel His love, we would not be saved if no one had led us to Him.

The Lord used someone to make us know Him. And like them, let us walk and make known Christ to others so that they may become His followers and transform into Christ-like people, and they will also lead people to Christ. And the cycle continues.

It may be difficult to do because there will be many struggles, tears, and hardships along the way, but Jesus Himself said that "He will be with us until the ends of the earth," a promise that can never be broken.

But we must live out the great commision because it is our mission entrusted to us. Do it with intentionality. Do it because we are His followers/disciples. Do it because it is the heartbeat of the Lord Jesus Christ, so you too.
