WELCOME to Talk 2 of our new Feast Talk series: No Longer Strangers. Talk 1 explored the first chapter of the Apostle Paul's letter to the Ephesians, where he opened with a majestic hymn of praise celebrating the Father's glorious Plan. He recalled how God wanted to bless the entire world, starting with the family of Abraham. Through Jesus, that small circle has burst wide open. What was once exclusive to one ethnic group—the Jews—has now extended to everyone—Jews and Gentiles alike. That means everyone can now belong to God's House. Talk 2 starts the second chapter of Ephesians. Paul preaches the same message in two parts, with each part looking at the same story but using a different lens. The first part—verses 1 to 10—takes on a more meta view—retelling the entire history of the world from a cosmic perspective. The second part—verses 11 to 22—is more micro—retelling the same history of humanity—but from a Gentile vs. Jewish perspective. The key message of Talk 2: You belong to God's House.

WELCOME to our brand-new teaching series: No Longer Strangers. For six weeks, we'll take a deep dive into Ephesians. If you were with us last year, we did a teaching series on 1 Corinthians, with the title, MESSY SAINTS. These two letters—1 Corinthians and Ephesians—belong to the same group of letters St. Paul wrote when the early Church was spreading in the first century. Some Bible scholars call Ephesians the Queen of the Epistles, the masterpiece of Paul's theology. Ephesians declares God's cosmic, eternal plan from the very beginning of history to its ultimate completion. And what is that cosmic plan? The unity of everything under Jesus. The key message of Talk 1 is: God Has a Plan.

Feast Series: The Good Life | Special Talk: Good Life by The Feast Radio

Welcome back to The Good Life, our teaching series on the Sermon on the Mount. In His Sermon on the Mount, Jesus said one of the biggest obstacles to God's Life is our stuff. Possessions can make us feel secure, but Jesus offers a counterintuitive perspective on material things. Because things can become cruel masters. To be free, Jesus tells His followers to love God and love others, not wealth. You don't have to worry about your needs. The key message of Talk 8: God's got you.

Welcome back to The Good Life, our teaching series on the Sermon on the Mount. The Sermon on the Mount has 3 main sections. The center of this multi-layered structure is The Lord's Prayer–which follows the two greatest commandments—Love God and Love your neighbor. This is the prayer of a revolution. When we pray The Lord's Prayer, we're dethroning ourselves as king of our lives, and we're enthroning Jesus as our new King. Our God-mission is not to go to Heaven but to bring Heaven down to Earth. To expand the boundaries of His Kingdom in this world. Christianity isn't the Great Escape–but the Great Expansion. Talk 7 explores The Lord's Prayer line by line, and we'll see how revolutionary this prayer is. The key message of Talk 7 is: Expand God's Territory.

We continue our Feast Talk Series, The Good Life, which centers on the Sermon on the Mount. As part of the Sermon, Jesus presents six laws from the Law of Moses: Murder, Adultery, Divorce, Oaths, Eye for an Eye, and Love Your Neighbors. Jesus pointed out the spirit of each Law. Last Feast Sunday (August 24, 2025), in Talk 5, we learned that to Jesus, the Good Life is about having peace in our relationships. Today, in Talk 6, we learn that He's not yet finished emphasizing the spirit over the letter of the Law. Talk 6 focuses on what really matters: not how people regard us, but how, in God's eyes, we truly are. The key message of Talk 6 is: The Father sees you.

We continue our Feast Talk Series, The Good Life, which centers on the Sermon on the Mount. Part of the Sermon is Jesus presenting six laws from the Law of Moses: Murder, Adultery, Divorce, Oaths, Eye for an Eye; and Love Your Neighbors. In Talk 4, we learned Jesus' radical interpretation of the Law on Adultery. Today, in Talk 5, we'll learn that to Jesus, the Good Life is about having peace in your relationships. The only way to create real peace in this world is when we treat every human being—including our enemies—as God-Containers. The key– disturbing– message of Talk 5 is: Love your enemies.

We continue our Feast Talk Series, The Good Life, which centers on the Sermon on the Mount. In the Sermon, Jesus presents six laws from the Law of Moses: (1) Murder; (2) Adultery; (3) Divorce; (4) Oaths; (5) Eye for an Eye; and (6) Love Your Neighbors. In Talk 3, we learned Jesus' radical interpretation of the Law on Murder. Talk 4 tackles the Lord's radical interpretation of the Law on Adultery. It's an uncomfortable topic but Jesus talked about it because since during, or even before His time, and to this day, Adultery has been a hidden worldwide pandemic. According to Jesus, the virus behind the Adultery Pandemic is lust. Jesus is asking us to fight sin, and when we do, it will involve a lot of sacrifice–but it's worth it. Lust says: “This is your body which I'm taking for my pleasure…” But the selfless love of Jesus says: “This is my body, this is my blood…” Why did He suffer for you? His answer is the key message of Talk 4: “You're worth it.”

Welcome back to our Feast Talk Series on the Sermon on the Mount called The Good Life. In the Sermon, Jesus presents six laws from the Law of Moses and then offers His radical interpretation of it. The six laws He picked on are: (1) Murder; (2) Adultery; (3) Divorce; (4) Oaths; (5) Eye for an Eye; and (6) Love Your Neighbors. We'll be covering these six in the next three talks. Jesus' take on these six laws was so revolutionary, and must have been surprising to His Jewish audience, who thought holiness was just about behavior. By picking the six laws, Jesus was telling His disciples that in this new Kingdom, the law wasn't enough. God doesn't want behavior modification but inner transformation. Talk 3 of The Good Life series centers on the message: Forgive those who do not deserve to be forgiven.

This is the second installment of The Good Life, our exciting teaching series on The Sermon on the Mount. Found in Matthew 5-7, the Sermon consists of 111 verses, with 2,500+ words in the original Greek manuscripts. The core of the Sermon we pray daily: “Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, May your kingdom come, May your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.” (Matthew 6:9-10 NIV) The Our Father is the password that unlocks the entire Sermon. Jesus is bringing His Kingdom down here into our broken world. The key message of Talk 2 is: You are the salt of the earth, you are the light of the world.

Welcome to our brand-new Feast series, The Good Life. We start a 10-week adventure into the Sermon on the Mount, the greatest talk ever told, preached by the greatest Preacher of all time. The key message of Talk 1: You lack one thing.

IN the past two talks, we sang the praises of David. In Talk 7, the young David fought Goliath because he trusted that the battle was the Lord's. In Talk 8, David remained loyal to King Saul—even if the king wanted him dead. So, yes, David had a beautiful heart. But Talk 9, the last installment of our series, WHO CAN LEAD US?, exposes David's biggest failures. David won many battles outside, but he lost one crucial battle inside. Still, David's failures could not erase God's plan for his life: To be the preparation and ancestor of King Jesus. The key message of Talk 9: God's Love never fails.

Talk 8 continues the story of the shepherd boy David–how he struggles through life's challenges, particularly against schemes of King Saul who is jealous of him.And David eventually rises to be King of Israel. David then asks God if he can build Him a house—a Temple—but God tells him: “No, I will build a house for you.” This promise is pointing to God's Kingdom and Jesus as King. He doesn't take the throne by force. He takes up the cross as He believes surely, the Father would raise Him. The big message of Talk 8 is: Surely, the Lord will!

We continue our exciting journey through three books in the Bible—Joshua, Judges, and Samuel, asking the question, Who Can Lead Us? Sadly, apart from Joshua and a handful of others, most of the leaders we met were pretty bad actors, including the current king, King Saul. How do you want to live your life? You have a choice. You can either sit on the rocking chair on your front porch, sipping your tea, watching life pass by—or you can be on an adventure, battling with giants for the people you love. Sometimes, we win. Sometimes, we lose. What matters most is that God is with us in every battle—and if He is—then, in the end, we have already won. Are you in a battle right now? The key message of Talk7 is For the battle is the Lord's.

Welcome back to our series, WHO CAN LEAD US? A People in Search of a King. Today, we take a big step in our series because we talk about the first King of Israel—King Saul. Spoiler alert: King Saul was a colossal disappointment. Talk 6 backtracks and checks how he became king. The key message: Follow the Right King.

We're in the middle of our series, WHO CAN LEAD US? A People in Search of a King. This is our brave attempt to unbox the spiritual treasures found in three under-appreciated books: Joshua, Judges, and Samuel. In Talk 5, we open the book of Samuel, or a warrior Judge. This Talk contains 3 parts: (1) God Hears the Humble Hannah; (2) Humble Samuel Hears God; and (3) The Proud That Cannot Hear and Cannot Be Heard. It starts with a broken, barren woman. The key message: God hears the humble.

We're in the middle of our thrilling series, WHO CAN LEAD US?, a Bible Study on Joshua, Judges, and Samuel. In Talk 1 and Talk 2, we unpacked Joshua; In Talk 3, we dove into Judges; In Talk 4, we tackle the life of Samson—the last Judge. Samson is the long-haired dude with super strength. Samson is a superhero for many who don't read the Bible. But you'll find out that because he's the last Judge of 12 very flawed Judges, and because this book is a downward spiral whose characters get worse and worse, then that means Samson is the baddest of them all. He is the most violent, promiscuous, and vengeful of all the Judges. But at the start, Samson looked really promising. The key message of Talk 4 is You are set apart for God.

We're in Talk 3 of our series, Who Can Lead Us? (A Bible Study on Joshua, Judges, and Samuel). Titled We Need a Hero, Talk 3 focuses on the book of Judges. It discusses three topics: 1) cast and plot; 2) a sample of two Judges; and 3) three warnings we must heed from the book. The Book of Judges is a Tragedy. The purpose of the book is to disturb you. To warn you. To fill you with terror at the horrific state of those who fall away from God. But the key message of Talk 3 is comforting: God will never break His covenant with you.

WELCOME back to our series, WHO CAN LEAD US, our Bible Study on Joshua, Judges, and Samuel. This is the second talk unpacking the Book of Joshua. The key message: “As for me and my family, we will serve the Lord.”

This Feast Sunday, we begin a new series: WHO CAN LEAD US? A People in Search of a King: A Bible Study on Joshua, Judges, and Samuel. Joshua, Judges, and Samuel continue the story of Israel in the first five books of the Bible—Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy—also called the Torah. In these three books, the Israelites needed a qualified leader to be their King. In this powerful series, WHO CAN LEAD US?, we ask: ·Who influences me? What influences me? ·How can I pick the best influence for my life? ·How can I influence others to become better people? ·How can I make the Greatest Leader—Jesus—lead me?

Feast Series: 9-5 | Special Talk: Dreams by The Feast Radio

Feast Series: More Than Enough | Special Talk by The Feast Radio

We imagine Jesus only as a preacher, healer, and miracle-worker. But He did these tasks for three years only. Before His ministry, for 18 long years, Jesus worked as an ordinary carpenter like his father Joseph. But this was hidden work. The Bible never recorded a single word from Joseph. He didn't preach with words–He preached by raising Jesus, the Word. Fact: 99% of your work is hidden. The key message of Talk 5 is: God sees your hidden ordinary work.

In the past three weeks of our teaching series, 9-5, we explored how God sees secular work as sacred work. And together with a rhythm of rest, we captured the original design of work. (See Genesis 2:15 below) Occasionally, in our jobs, we get glimpses of this original design. There are days when we enjoy our work. When we feel fulfilled. But for most, work is far from this beautiful idea… For millions of people, work is suffering. Here's the big question of today's Talk: How can we find God even when work is suffering? (There is a way, and Talk 4 unpacks it.) The key message: God will turn bad into good.

WELCOME to the third installment of our series, 9-5. In the past two talks, we learned this shocking truth: Secular work can be sacred. That through our ordinary jobs, whether we're selling soap or pulling teeth or balancing spreadsheets, God wants to work beside us, so that together, we can replant the Garden of Eden on our Planet. In today's Talk 3, we'll learn an equally important truth: By itself, work is not enough. To walk, you need two feet. To walk with God, you need the right foot of work and the left foot of trust—which is expressed through rest. Friend, God invites us to enter into this holy rhythm of work and rest. The key message of Talk 3: Meet God in your quiet place.

We are now in Talk 2 of our new Feast Talk Series, 9 to 5. Today, we will answer the question: Why are so many people not happy with their jobs? Many people are full-pledged, card-carrying, official members of the TGIF Club, which means “Thank God It's Fayday!” They work only for the money. But this was never God's original idea for work. Today, we will discuss how your work can sanctify your Monday to Friday work week. The key message of Talk 2 is: “My work is my worship.”

Today, we start an exciting new series titled 9 to 5. The simple logic why we're doing this teaching series: Your job matters to you. Thus, your job matters to God– because YOU matter to God. God cares about your 9-5. He wants to be present Monday through Friday and at the center of your career. The First Worker was God– He worked for six days to create the universe and man and woman. And He rested on the seventh day. Then, God settled Man in the Garden of Eden to cultivate and care for it. Adam was assigned as the Assistant Gardener to help the Original Gardener to flourish the Garden. Work is God's special gift to us. But because of sin, we now have to work outside the Garden. So, there are two kinds of work: Work inside the Garden. And work outside the Garden. Work with God. And work without God. The key message of Talk 1 is: Work in the Garden.

Welcome to our series on the Holy Spirit: Do You Hear The Wind? Today, we end with a bang by turning to Acts. How can we not? St. Luke wrote a two-volume work—Luke-Acts—with Luke mentioning the Holy Spirit 17 times and Acts mentioning the Holy Spirit 57 times—for a grand total of 74 times. More than any other Gospel or single Epistle in the New Testament. By the way, Luke didn't give the title to his books. Someone else did that in the 2nd century. So, if we can rename them, we'll title them in this way: Gospel of Luke: Acts of the Spirit Through Jesus Book of Acts: Acts of the Spirit Through The Church The key message of Talk 4: You will receive Power.

In our last talk, we explored a number of Spirit-Filled people in the Old Testament– guys like Joseph, Bezalel, Saul, Gideon, Jephthah, Samson… In today's Talk, we focus only on one Person—Jesus—and how He, too, was Spirit-Filled. So, the title of Talk 3 is Spirit-Filled Jesus. Wait a minute. Isn't Jesus God? Why would He need the Spirit? Yes, He is God. But Jesus is also fully human. He relied on the Spirit. You'll find the Spirit intertwined with the earthly life of Jesus, from beginning to end… One of the beautiful titles of the Holy Spirit is Helper. By calling the Spirit Helper, Jesus is perhaps telling us: The Spirit is what you need Him to be right now. He will meet you where you are. The key message of Talk 3 is: You need the Helper.

WELCOME BACK to our empowering series on the Holy Spirit: Do You Hear The Wind?, an in-depth study to get to know The Holy Spirit. Talk 2 is about Spirit-filled people. In the Bible, there were many who were described as being filled with God's Spirit. This Talk focuses only on four of them (though the third example is a bunch). Through these biblical characters, we'll get a picture of what happens when God's ruach or breath takes up residence in a human. The one big message of Talk 2 today is very special because it's this desperate prayer: “Take not Your Spirit from me.”

WELCOME to our brand new series, Do You Hear The Wind? For four weeks, we'll explore the mysterious, less-understood third Person of the Trinity: The Holy Spirit. If the Trinity had its own Facebook pages, the Holy Spirit would have the least number of likes among them. I bet 99.99% of Christians pray to the Father and to Jesus. But to the Holy Spirit? Not many. Let's face it. The Third Person is not relatable. Here are two reasons… First, We Don't Know Who He Is Second, We Don't Know What He Does The message of Talk 1: Come, Holy Spirit.

The title of the Talk is controversial. But it's not just the title—this entire message is controversial. It will shake you to your core. Welcome to the last Talk of our series, MORE THAN ENOUGH. Our one big message for today is connected to our series title: Pray for more than enough. In today's talk, we read the Bible verse where we got the phrase, more than enough. You'll be surprised where we got it from and what it actually means.

God owns everything. We don't own any of what we have. Everything is Grace! At best, we are just managers of what God has entrusted to us. We're God's Property Managers. The Bible has a term for it: God's stewards. Here's the definition. “A Steward is someone entrusted with another person's wealth and charged with the responsibility of managing it in the owner's best interest – not theirs.” As the Psalmist says: “You gave them charge of everything you made, putting all things under their authority” (Psalm 8:6 NLT) God calls us to be stewards of all of Creation. You're not just an employee. You're now God's Manager. The key message of Talk 3: You've been promoted.

WE cannot talk about MORE THAN ENOUGH without talking about the source of all that MORE: God's generosity. Here's our key passage for today's Talk: Jesus said, “Look at the birds. They don't plant or harvest or store food in barns, for your heavenly Father feeds them… Look at the lilies of the field and how they grow. They don't work or make their clothing, yet Solomon in all his glory was not dressed as beautifully as they are.” (Matthew 6:26, 28-29 NLT) Talk 2's life-changing message: Trust in God's generosity

Welcome to our brand new series, More Than Enough. For four weeks, we'll talk about money. Because whether we like it or not, money is a part of our lives. After all, we all have needs. And wants. In Talk 1, we'll try to capture God's Vision For Money. Yes, God sees money in a unique way. In this series (that I pray will turn your life upside down), we'll try to understand God's perspective of money and ask, “Do I see money as God sees it or as the world sees it?” When I relate with money, am I using God's eyeglasses? Or am I using the world's eyeglasses? This may be a downer, but the goal of this series is not to teach you specific tools of how to grow your income, or how to build a side hustle, or how to multiply your wealth. (You can learn all that by reading our books at feastbooks.ph or attending my TrulyRichClub seminars.) Instead, the goal of the series is to realign your money perspective with God's vision for money. Boring? You're mistaken. Because if that realignment happens, miracles will happen in your life. Taking on God's vision for money will transform your relationship with money—and your life. The key message of Talk 1 is Put your money under God's Rule.

Lent may be coming to an end, but maybe you still feel that your life is at a dead end. Hold on to God, He is in charge. Believe that the best is yet to come. Thank you for being with us for 40 days. Have a solemn Black Saturday, as we wait in hopeful anticipation for Christ's resurrection.

The Crucified Christ may be an image of hopelessness but on the contrary, His death gave the hope the world has been waiting for. Today, Fr. Reginald Malicdem, the Mission Station Priest of Mary Mother of Hope Chapel, invites us to meditate on Christ's suffering and death on The Cross this Good Friday—the ultimate act of love and hope, His life for our redemption.

Where there is love and humility, there is hope Today, Bro. Alvin Barcelona, District Builder of Feast Bay Area and Feast Provincial Regional Builder, shares how love and humility come hand-in-hand, as demonstrated by Jesus Himself. As we commemorate the institution of The Holy Eucharist through The Last Supper, may Christ's act of love and humility allow us to fully emulate Him through our words and most especially through our actions.

"Lent is not for us to pretend that we are strong but to acknowledge that we are weak but not stopping there. Today, Fr. Albert Garong, a podcaster and priest from The Society of St. Paul, shares a message of how sometimes we define ourselves through the consequences of our failures, which often leads to us resistance to change. But we are reminded of how God's mercy softens even the hardest of hearts, so that we can return to Him."

God calls not the perfect, but the willing. Are you willing to give God that chance to bless you? Today, Bro. Randy Borromeo, SVRTV President and District Builder of Feast Makati District, shares two biblical perspectives of failure brought to Jesus that have different outcomes, and how God responds to our sinfulness through His loving mercy.

How do you measure someone you can hope for? It is when you are well at home with him. Today, Fr. Viel Bautista, the Vice Rector of The Manila Cathedral, talks about being made new in The Lord when we come home to Him, and how we can trust Him with all the life baggages we are carrying because He is God that turns all that is dark to something beautiful.

Life is not just about second chances, but something we should never take for granted. And when society tries to rob you of hope, turn to gratitude to remind you the things God did in your life. Today, John Escoto, a dedicated leader who leads the LOJ Prison Ministry representing the Pilgrims of Hope for The Prisoners, gives a glimpse on how gratitude and mercy looks like for inmates, and how the little things we take for granted are sometimes the little sparks of hope that give life to the incarcerated.

"In the heart of each person, hope dwells as the desire and expectation of good things to come, despite our not knowing what the future may bring." - Pope Francis Today, Minette Sto. Tomas, a passionate music teacher representing the Pilgrims of Hope for Choirs, gives an insight on how confidence—especially one that comes from The Lord—empowers someone to show up and give their all no matter how small they feel in wherever they are called.

The discernment of a vocation is above all the fruit of an intimate dialogue between The Lord and His disciples. If you know how to pray, you will trust and know what to do with God's call, which leads to the ultimate vocation to love. Today, Sr. Iohannes, a nun from the contemplative Sisters of Mary Morning Star representing the Pilgrims of Hope for The Consecrated Life, gives an insight on how the discernment for vocation looks like, and how sometimes God calls you to take a step towards the path He has for you in ways you may not understand.

When we remain steadfast, believe that the God who placed a dream in our hearts will fulfill it in the His most perfect timing. Today, Chai Santiago-Gamo, a loving wife and a meek mother of two representing the Pilgrims of Hope for Migrants, recounts how a dream planted in their family's hearts came to be, and how our loving God delivered His promise to them at His perfect time.

In many ways, hope is a cornerstone for priests—not just for their own spiritual well-being, but also to serve others effectively. Today, Fr. Mark Demanuele, a priest from the Missionary Society of St. Paul representing the Pilgrims of Hope for Priests, shares the daily lives of what a priest goes through, and how in their imperfect humanness, God uses them as a vessel to represent Him on this earth.

Giving hope is not just being result-oriented but being love-oriented. Hope is the spark, but love is what makes you start. Today. Fr. Wilfredo Samson, a Jesuit priest whose advocacy is for the least representing the Pilgrims of Hope for The Poor, shares how love fuels people to move, and how much companionship is greatly valued in reaching out to the marginalized.

Sometimes, hope is a virtue that has to be lived in the darkness. But in this Jubilee Year of Hope, we strongly believe that there will be light. Today, Fr. Bob McConaghy, an elderly priest representing the Pilgrims of Hope for Consolation, narrates a very touching story of how God works to bring comfort to His children, most especially in the times of the crossroads of uncertainty.

Hope is when you are in a situation where the only one you can rely on is God Today, Pau Trinidad, a volleyball student-athlete representing the Pilgrims of Hope for Athletes, talks about how the dim uncertainty of one's athletic career brought about a redirection towards resilience for a new purpose, and of how God moves in our lives even when He seems silent or distant because He made us for more, we just have to be patient to fully receive it.

God takes care of our souls even by using our past sufferings because He will do whatever it takes to bring us back to Him. Today, Viv Hernandez, a kind and compassionate wife and servant, representing the Pilgrims of Hope for Victims of Abuse, narrates the perspective of untold stories of the voices afraid to speak, and how one's sufferings could still flourish towards renewal when the healing comes.
