This week, Bro. Alvin Del Rosario shares a special message on what it means to let the peace of Christ rule in our hearts.

Stealing, at first glance, seems easy to understand. Everyone knows that it's wrong to steal. Even the definition of stealing is simple, to steal something is to take something that is not yours. However, it's a bit more complicated than that, and so is the eighth commandment. Pastor Sonny discusses this in our ongoing study of the Book of Exodus.

Adultery is marital unfaithfulness or infidelity, which puts the covenant of marriage at the heart of our understanding of the seventh commandment. Pastor Sonny discusses this in our ongoing study of the Book of Exodus.

Pastor Emeritus Luis Notario shares a special message in honour of Pastor Appreciation Month.

If honoring everyone means treating all human life with dignity and respect, then the worst thing you can do in disobedience or in rebellion to this command is to take that life away from them. This is what the Sixth Commandment is all about, and this week, Pastor Sonny describes how it applies to the Christian walk.

In this week's message, Pastor Sonny discusses the first commandment that deals with our relationship with other human beings — and the only command with a promise. However, what is God's real purpose for this commandment? How should we act in obedience to it, and how can I honour parents who are dishonourable?

The Biblical idea of a day of rest has been in effect ever since the beginning of time. For the Israelites in the wilderness, it was a reminder of God's faithfulness to provide for their needs and therefore reinforce or strengthen their faith in Him. What does it mean for us today? In this week's message, Pastor Sonny explains the application of God's Fourth Commandment in our ongoing series on Exodus.

Biblically speaking, names are important, which is why the Third Commandment is seemingly so harsh about prohibiting the taking of the Lord's name in vain. However, this Commandment is often sorely misunderstood and oversimplified. In this week's message, Pastor Sonny explains the deeper meaning of God's Third Commandment in our ongoing series on Exodus.

The key to living a virtuous life is to orient ourselves to a “good” and perfect law giver first and trust that He and His laws are truly good, and then obedience will come. This leads us to the first two commandments.

Without a standard, without a judge, our society's way of dealing with morality will only result in chaos and confusion, which will ultimately lead to our own destruction. This is why the first statement in the Ten Commandments is of utmost importance. As human beings, we need our morality to be grounded on something absolute and solid, so we need to go back to the decalogue to find out what that something — or Someone — is.

This week Pastor Sonny continues our study of the Book of Exodus by kicking off a mini-series on The Ten Commandments and what they mean for New Testament believers.

God is not Someone we can take casually. The Bible shows there is a danger in approaching God — we need to know Him first in all of His holiness and perfection before we can truly obey Him.

Understanding the pattern of God's salvation is essential to understanding the whole Bible. So what is this pattern, and how do we truly embrace it?

Sis. Marianne Llapitan shares a special exhortation for our Daily Vacation Bible School graduates and parents.

God has proven Himself over and over again to be faithful to save the Israelites from their enemies and to be their provider in the wilderness. But the question remains: Why Sinai?

In trying to be faithful to his calling, Moses was going about doing God's work for the nation of Israel the wrong way, and God used Moses' father-in-law Jethro to set him straight on the need for helpers. Pastor Sonny continues our series on Exodus and shares what we can learn from this story on Eldership and Leadership in the Church.

What does the conversation between Moses and his father-in-law Jethro in Exodus 18 tell us about evangelism? This week Pastor Sonny returns to our study of the Book of Exodus.

Pastor Sonny shares a special message as we celebrate 40 years of God's goodness and faithfulness in our church!

Happy Father's Day to all the dads out there! In this week's special sermon, Pastor Sonny returns with a message on Biblical Manhood.

There is hope for those struggling with mental health as the battle for our minds isn't just medical — it's also spiritual. Special guest Pastor Wilbert Zavitz shares a message on how we can be rescued from sin, depression, anxiety, and other mental health issues.

We all have different gifts, and some are more noticeable than others, but that doesn't mean any are more important. In this week's message, Bro. Eugune Daylusan shares a message on the unsung heroes of the Bible.

Bro. Ramir Carandang shares a special message about Jesus' words in Matthew 10 on taking up our cross and following Him.

There's much confusion in today's society on what defines womanhood, but as the inerrant Word of God and source of all Truth, the Bible is quite clear on the matter. Pastor Sonny shares a message on what Biblical Womanhood means.

Whenever the Israelites thought they were putting God to the test in the story of Exodus, it was actually God who was continuing to test them. What can we learn from this part of the story? Pastor Sonny discusses this in our continuing study of the Book of Exodus.

We can get to know God and come into a deeper relationship with Him through His Word. But, how does that work exactly? Bro. Philip Llapitan shares the principles for standing firm in God's Word.

Pastor Mike Mauricio shares a special message on what the Apostle Paul teaches us about Standing Firm in his letter to the Philippians.

In a special Good Friday message, Bro. Alvin Del Rosario explains how suffering can yield good fruit in the Christian life.

The ultimate purpose of God in the Israelites' journey into the wilderness is to continuously build up and strengthen their faith through testing. How do they respond in this testing, and how does God deal with them?

What kind of diet does God place the Israelites while in the wilderness and how does He help them to persevere in it?

One of the biggest problems of the human heart is that the more God blesses us with material things the more we mistakenly try — and fail — to find contentment in those things. This is the attitude of the Israelites during their journey into the wilderness.

When it comes to our relationship with God, we are not called to settle; we are called to always want more. Our end goal as Christians is to be conformed to the image of Christ. That's our Canaan — that's where all Christians are headed.

When the Israelites made it across the Red Sea and witnessed how God defeated their enemies by pouring on the Egyptians the very waters of the sea that were held back for them, the very first thing they did after crossing over from slavery to freedom, and from death to life, was to sing a song.

How does God deal with the Israelites? He fights for them. How does God fight for the Israelites, and how does God save them from their bondage to slavery?

Our reading of Exodus 14 should not be focused on the parting of the Red Sea, but rather anchored on the salvation of God through Jesus Christ.

From the beginning of the Exodus story, God's main goal has been to continue to strengthen the faith of the Israelites in Him. God did it through promises, miracles and the display of power through the plagues. Now, God is training and growing the Israelites by rerouting them to protect and nurture their fragile faith for the challenges that lay ahead. He is also reminding them who He is in the midst of their journey.

The Christian life can sometimes get messy. The anchor that keeps the Christian grounded and not sway to the extreme of pride or hopelessness are the facts that Christians, like the Israelites, have been chosen by God, consecrated to Him and have been redeemed by the blood of Jesus Christ.

God rescued His people from Egypt to be consecrated: to be set apart for God for the purpose of remembering God's salvation. But what does being consecrated look like? Pastor Sonny discusses this in the next set of verses in our ongoing study of Exodus 13.

What is God's purpose in rescuing the Israelites from Egypt? Pastor Sonny discusses this in today's message.

What does it mean for believers to be “circumcised…by the circumcision of Christ? Pastor Sonny explains this from Paul's writings to the Colossians.

Were Abraham and his descendants faithful to keep the faith and do their part in the covenant of circumcision? By extension, does our salvation depend on us doing our part? Pastor Sonny discusses the answers to these questions found in Paul's letter to the Colossians.

Merry Christmas! As we celebrate the birth of our Saviour, Pastor Sonny wraps up our Advent Series on the typologies of Christ with a message on the final type of Christ and the Reason for our Hope.

For our Christmas Eve Candlelight service, Bro. Alex San Juan shares a special message on David as a glimpse of Christ in the Old Testament.

Bro. Vergel Ecat continues our typology Advent series with a discussion on how the story of Jonah is a pointer to Christ.

Bro. Eugune Daylusan shares our second message in this year's Advent Sermon Series, discussing how the Melchizedek points to the priesthood of Christ.

We dive into this year's advent season series as Bro. Philip Llapitan looks at one of the types of Christ through the character of Adam — the first prototype of a man after God's own image.

In preparation for our Advent Sermon Series, Pastor Sonny explains the proper way to understand biblical typology and how it applies to studying the Old Testament and how those scriptures point to the birth of Christ.

God's freeing His people from slavery in Egypt was an early hint of His ultimate plan for His people today. As part of that, God required the Israelites to walk in covenant with Him through the passover and circumcision. In this week's message, Pastor Sonny explains what that is, what is represents, and what it means for us as Christians.

As followers of Christ, what does it mean to deny ourselves? Are we allowed to enjoy the things of this world or do we need to set them aside for a wholehearted pursuit of Christ? This week we take a break from our study of Exodus as Pastor Sonny provides an introduction to our upcoming Wednesday Prayer Fellowship study of the book “The Things of This Earth” by Joe Rigney.

After 430 years of slavery, the people of God were finally free! This was an early hint of God's ultimate kingdom-building plan, but now what happens next to the people of Israel, and what can we learn from it for our own lives?

The theme of the story of the Exodus is God preserving a people to Himself, bringing them under His rule by rescuing them from the rule of Pharaoh and Egypt, and now in the exodus God will bring them to His place, the place where He promised to give to their forefathers.
