May 15, 2022 This month, we look at handles for the national elections from the New Testament. As we prepare for such a historic day, we want to equip our church with gospel truths that can keep us steady before, during, and after the elections. Today, we look at Romans 13:1-5 and talk about Submitting to Authority.

This episode is part of a series to help us be prepared - our mind, heart and soul to have a Gospel posture before, during and after the National Election Day.

This is the story of when Jesus called his first disciples. It is very interesting to notice that Jesus didn't choose from the crowd gathering to listen to Him. Rather, He entered the lives of fishermen, who were not even doing great, but rather just failing in their task for the day. This is an encouraging story of God choosing people at their worst.

Jesus calming the storm is a familiar story. We often moralize it as a call for us to not be afraid and trust God more. We have to view this story with gospel lens. This passage teaches us three things that will help anchor us in the storms of life.

Jesus was coming off from ministry time, and we see who he wraps things up. Many times we focus on the performance and what happens on the stage, we fail to see the details and what happens after the curtains close. Matthew documenting this for us is a big help to show us what we can learn about Jesus' life.

The passage shows us that our failures and sin does not put us outside of God's plan and his involvement in our lives. Rather, God is active and involved by graciously confronting the truth of our sin and restoring us.

We continue our series to encourage people that God has you where He wants you!

The people of God was under Philistine rule at this time. God chooses a judge (savior/deliverer) and we find the most imperfect choice. Many times we doubt God's plan in our lives not because God is less, but because we doubt ourselves. This reveals the problem is us, and we don't want others saving us. This passage helps us deal with our insecurities.

The people of God (Israel) was liberated from Egypt and led to the promised land. They were within sight, and God has commanded them to take it. At this point, they added to this command by doing something they thought was right. this complicated the journey and created doubt. Following God involves risks and if we don't know how to manage this, we will more likely miss out on a lot of things.

We wrap up our book study on Philippians by looking at the stability of His peace. Anxious and worrisome these days? This will be a good listen.

We continue our book study on Philippians and take chapter 3.

We know Paul is in prison, and he writes to the church and considers one important challenge to it: Unity. He shows that there is one trait and one key to unlocking this trait, to keep the peace.

Here is the first episode for this year's Philippians book study.

The prophet Jeremiah was writing to those who were exiled to Babylon. These are the 10,000 captives, the officials, the mighty men of valor, the craftsmen and smiths, whom King Nebuchadnezzar has taken. Living in such a hostile city is challenging for these exiles.

No matter how trusting we are, we all have trust issues. When it comes to matters of faith, it is not different. It is very important to understand the dynamics of trusting the Lord, and how it is made possible. This passage helps us unlock that and encourages us to put out trust in the Lord our God.

Stubborn as we are, knowing the truth doesn't necessarily mean we act on it. We get stuck in a cycle and there are times we suffer for it. This is where mourning becomes healthy. Here is Episode 3 of our Jeremiah series on Regaining the Prophetic Voice of the Church.

Repentance is a big word for the Christian religion. It's often been used to call people out to change and turn from wicked ways. Yet what truly changes a person from the inside, out? This passage shows us the foundations of repentance. Episode 2 of our Jeremiah series on Regaining the Prophetic voice of the church.

Here is the first episode of our series on Regaining the Prophetic Voice of the Church. We will take excerpts from Jeremiah, starting off with Confronting Idolatry- Jeremiah 2:20-37.

We continue on our series on Healthy Restrains by looking at how to be wise in choosing what is permissible.

The story of Samson and Delilah is a timeless tale from the Bible, yet too often we have focus on the main character's hair, that we neglected to find the true source of His power. This sermon helps us trace the right pathway, ultimately revealing the Real Hero of the whole Bible.

As we celebrated lent, we remember Jesus' last days. In this particular context, he is giving his final words to his disciples before he departs. This is definitely hard for them, yet Jesus doesn't change the course for mere emotional benefits, he proceeds to continue executing the plan for our salvation.

We unlock the story behind the prodigal moralist - the less talked about older brother.

We are tackling the famous parable in 4 weeks breaking it down into a character study series. This week, we look at the mainstream view of who the prodigal son is - the younger one. But we will set the stereotype aside and try to look at him with a different lens - though self-discovery.

We are tackling the famous parable in 4 weeks breaking it down into a character series. This week, we start with the Father, whom Jesus introduces as the subject of the story (v. 11). We are calling him the Prodigal Lover.

Here is the last episode of our Praising God series.

Psalm 113 1 Praise the Lord! Praise, you servants of the Lord, praise the name of the Lord! 2 May the Lord's name be praised now and forevermore! 3 From east to west the Lord's name is deserving of praise. 4 The Lord is exalted over all the nations; his splendor reaches beyond the sky. 5 Who can compare to the Lord our God, who sits on a high throne? 6 He bends down to look at the sky and the earth. 7 He raises the poor from the dirt, and lifts up the needy from the garbage pile, 8 that he might seat him with princes, with the princes of his people. 9 He makes the barren woman of the family a happy mother of children. Praise the Lord!

This Psalm looks at the great acts of love and what it means for us in light of our hope for the future.

In this Psalm, David calls on his soul to wholly praise God. Yet the circumstances weren't that openly gratifying. There seems to be trouble, shame, guilt due to sin, but a straightforward trust in god centered on who he is, carries the psalmist through. #PrasingGodSeries

Peter and John healed a lame man, and the miracle trended. People are talking, and wondering how this happened. Yet, through Peter's speech, we learn about the standard of Biblical faith we keep.

Here is the 4th episode of our New Year, Same Gospel Series. Sharing brought to us by Elder Noel Elicanal.

Here is the 3rd episode of the New Year, Same Gospel series.

Peter and John healed a lame man, and the miracle trended. People are talking, and wondering how this happened. Yet, through Peter's speech, we learn about the standard of Biblical faith we keep.

New year doesn't mean reinventing the wheel. We can still commit to the same disciplines as the early church did in the first century. #NewYearSameGospel

The Wonderful One | John 1:35-51 | Ps. Zuriel Bernardino #theONEChristmasSeries

The Jewish people believe in the coming of the Anointed One - a prophesied Savior who will make all things right. When John the Baptist came, they thought it was him. But John the Baptist deflected and pointed them to the right one.

Here is the second episode of The One Christmas series for this month of December.

2020 has been a long and tough year, and a lot of our foundations have been shaken. We want to celebrate the season by looking at how John 1 introduces our Lord Jesus, who came to earth for us.

Here is the last episode of our November series - Addressing Mental Health from the Psalms: The Art and Discipline of Lament. By our special guest speaker, Ps. Nomer Bernardino.

Psalm 63 was written in the desert/wilderness experience of David. He fears for his life, and has very low energy left. We find him bringing this experience to God, and we learn so much from his openness and vulnerability.

Psalm 13 documents the transition from turmoil to trust in the psalmist's life. He experienced a long silence from the Lord and even gloating from his enemies. We find wonderful transition though as the psalmist puts his faith in the Lord. This is a good example of trust in God overcoming feelings.

Here is the second sermon in the series Addressing Mental Health from the Psalms: The Art and Discipline of Lament.

Psalm 6 is also considered a Psalm of penitence. It was written when David, aware of sin, is coming to the lord for his mercy and renewal. In a religious culture, sinning often times leads people to be judged/feel judged and therefore leaving the church. This should not be the case. We learn from this Psalm how to handle it, and the best way is to come to god with our guilt and honesty.

Last Sunday we culminated our TULIP in the Wilderness series with a special Reformation Sunday message by Pastor Aldrin Teresa.

Ezekiel was written during the time of Israel's exile under the Babylonian empire. It demonstrates a new challenge for God's people
