If you are saved, you are not ashamed of the Gospel! You know its power, and there is a desire within you to share it with those who do not know its power. There is no better time to get busy telling others than today.

Evangelism is really about bringing people to Jesus by talking about Jesus.

SHARE the GOSPEL to our ONE and help them to grow their faith in Jesus.

There are people all around us who need a true friend to bring them to Jesus.

All the big works of God towards the establishment of His church started with a prayer.

Each one must reach one.

Psalm chapter 1 opens with a “beatitude,” from the word “blessed.” It is a wisdom psalm and focuses on God’s Word, God’s blessing on those who meditate on it and obey it, and God’s ultimate judgment on those who rebel.

The man or person described in verses 1-3 is the one who 𝐑𝐞𝐜𝐞𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐬 𝐚 𝐁𝐥𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 from God.

What are specific features of a life that is Rooted in Christ, in His Word?

Jesus’ parable of the sower does not begin with what is produced but just like any other gardener; He begins with the kind of soil. If I desire to be rooted for fruitfulness, then I need to be planted in the right soil.

In the Parable of a Sower, Jesus wanted to reveal to us the kinds of human hearts that respond to the word of God. In other words, he gives us four different examples of how the human heart will often respond to the word of God.

Rootedness in Christ implies a deep, personal, and unshakeable connection with Him, akin to a strong and fruitful tree with a deep root system.

Learn the benefits or blessings of having our lives rooted in God.

Through an angelic visitation, God revealed to Joseph the divine nature of Mary's pregnancy and his pivotal role in it. This revelation asked Joseph something beyond human courage—it demanded divine trust. Today, as we reflect on Joseph's journey, we are reminded of the times we too have faced the unexpected, the times God has called us to tasks that seem beyond our capacity. In Joseph's story, we find inspiration and guidance for such moments in our own lives. His response to God's call was not just obedience, but a courageous step of faith, embracing a path fraught with uncertainty and potential ridicule. As we open our hearts and minds to the scripture, let us consider how Joseph's example of faith and courage in the face of the unknown can illuminate our own paths, guiding us in times when God calls us to embrace the unexpected and trust in His divine plan.

Celebrating Christmas in a chaotic world can be very difficult for everyone, even us Christians. So how can we stay confident in the Lord when the world is in chaos? Well, the fifth answer is—stay committed. When unexpected things happen, stay committed to the plan of God. BUCCI CHRISMON SUNDAY

The discipline of centering our hearts and minds on Christ will require us to focus.

Simple togetherness is one of the main ingredients of love so simple we almost miss it. If we neglect to gather, we drift apart from one another and become disconnected. Being together reminds us of the needs we each have. We share the concerns of our hearts, we laugh and eat together, we worship at the throne of grace side by side, and God knits our hearts in love. Then human love increases our love for that same God who binds us.

We mustn't disregard the invaluable guidance in God's truth within His Word. Now, more than ever, we require it as it offers a solid foundation, especially when the world seems to be engulfed by shifting sands.

We are reconciled to God, we are also reconciled to Christ's church (where He calls us to covenant together joyfully). Guest Speaker Pastor Franco Ferrer from iDISCIPLE Phils.

All of God’s plan of salvation is centered and found only in Jesus Christ alone. There is no other savior, no other way to heaven, apart from Jesus Christ!

In celebration of Reformation Month, we begin our new series entitled “Foundation of Reformed Faith.” As a Christian church, we trace our historical roots to the 16th-century Protestant Reformation. The doctrine of justification deals with what may be the deepest existential problem a human being can ever face: How can a sinner, an unjust person, ever withstand the judgment of a holy and righteous God? As the psalmist said, 'If You, LORD, should mark iniquities, ... who could stand?" (Ps. 130:3). The question is obviously rhetorical. No one of us could possibly stand because none of us is righteous. For an unjust person to stand in the presence of a just God, that person must first be justified.

In celebration of Reformation Month, we begin our new series entitled “Foundation of Reformed Faith.” As a Christian church, we trace our historical roots to the 16th-century Protestant Reformation. "But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have become convinced of, because you know those from whom you learned it, and how from infancy you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God[a] may be thoroughly equipped for every good work." - 2 Timothy 3:14-17

Reformed theology relentlessly applies the doctrine of God to all other doctrines, making it the chief control factor in all theology.

Three specific attributes of God stand out in Reformed Theology. And these three I want to focus on today.

1. The Self-Existence of God

2. The “Separateness” of God

3. The Sovereignty of God

Listen to Part 6 of 40 Days of Abundance, a series of John 15.

As we close our 40 Days of Abundance, we will learn three precious and sure promises that those who abide in the True Vine can certainly enjoy.

Our abiding relationship with Jesus will really result in FULLNESS OF JOY. The greatest level of joy a Christian can achieve is when our joy is in His presence. That’s what David felt. That’s what every Christian should experience as we abide more in Christ.

You will show me the path of life;In Your presence is fullness of joy;At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore.(Psalm 16:11 NKJV)

Listen to Part 5 of 40 Days in Abundance, a series of John 15.

"Remain in me, as I also remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me. “I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.”

(John 15:4-5)

We come to part 5 of our series 40 Days of Abundance. Remember, this is the third secret to abundant Christian living. In order for us to bear much fruit, Jesus is inviting us to abide in Him. This is the most wonderful thing in our relationship with Jesus—we abide in Him and He abides in us.

Listen to Part 4 of 40 Days of Abundance, a series in John 15.

God didn't want me to do more for Him. He wanted me to be more with Him. After seeing God act in your life through discipline and pruning, you might think that you are now ready for the perfect program, perhaps a sophisticated New Testament strategy for multiplying growth in yourself and others. After all, if fruit equals good works, then surely "much fruit" must equal many more works, activities, programs, and ministries. But as we come to the third secret to abundance, Jesus turned the disciples' attention away from activity altogether. I imagine Jesus tracing the gnarled curve of an ancient vine, His fingertips pausing where the massive trunk divides into a branch. And then He said, Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me. (v.4)

Listen to Part 3 of the 40 Days of Abundance, a series in John 15.

We've seen how God intervenes in His children’s lives when they are unproductive and fruitless because they are entangled with sin. God the Father disciplines them. And God’s discipline can vary from light to severe, even death. But what does He do when we are showing signs of productivity and fruitfulness? In this third week of our 40 Days of Abundance, we’re going to study from our passage God’s second secret to Abundance and fruitfulness. After Jesus told His disciples how the Gardener cared for the barren branch, He reached for a branch that showed vitality but produced only a few clusters of grapes. Listen again to what He said: "While every branch that does bear fruit He prunes so that it will be even more fruitful." (John 15:2)

Listen to Part 2 of the 40 Days of Abundance, a series in John 15.

Have you been hurt lately? Have you experienced pain that caused you to be stressed? Whether it comes from a person or circumstance, we don’t like to be hurt. We don’t like pain. But sometimes, a hurt is necessary and beneficial. Sometimes pain is necessary for us to gain. They are called the good hurt. That’s what we will talk about this morning.

Listen to the Part 1 of the 40 Days of Abundance, a series in John 15.

John 15:1-2 “I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit He prunes so that it will be even more fruitful. Service from August 13, 2023.
