Church In Action
From the Pastor’s Desk
W
ELCOME to the first Sunday of June. Time really moves fast. That should always remind us to use it wisely for His glory as Ephesians 5:16 says. Our theme for this month is “Revival through the Home.” I believe that this is a great ingredient for an individual spiritual revival. It is still my prayer that God would continually send revival to every member of the family and that you would allow God to use your family for His service. It is such a blessing to see families working together for the glory of God. On such note, I would like to express my gratefulness to the Lord for giving you to me as my church family. I appreciate your birthday gift for me, which allowed me and Ma’am Dhel to enjoy our special moments together in Palawan, while meditating on the awesome power of God, learning about His wonderful creation, and immersing ourselves in the majesty of His greatness. Indeed, we thank you for your love, care and support. Meanwhile, let me challenge you to participate in our upcoming couples’ and single parents’ retreat. This would be a great time to fellowship with you again and be challenged with God’s Word. Also, I would encourage all of our youth to get ready for a 1-day youth revival. Don’t miss this opportunity to prepare yourselves spiritually as another school year enters. Both of these events are set on June 14, a non-working holiday.
Let this blessed Sunday revive us once again. I pray that the great spiritual atmosphere, the songs, the Sunday School lesson and the power of God’s Word would penetrate in our hearts. Let us continue growing and working together for God!

“THANK GOD FOR HIS GIFT OF HOME” Beata B. Agustin
Thank God for His granted home for every family With His love binding the members closely… There, Christ’s presence prevails constantly In the concern for each other so dearly. Thank God for every home set for His Gospel-proclamation With His truth insuring the residents of their redemption… There, Christ’s salvation shines with jubilation In the rescue of the lost against hell’s condemnation. Thank God for His prepared home for every leader With His Word governing the authorities in being a life-builder… There, Christ’s counsel becomes the faith-upholder In the training for righteous influence according to biblical order. Thank God for every home established for His holiness-beseeching With His wisdom leading the parents thru preaching There, Christ’s principles anchor domestic teaching In the standards of discipleship toward children’s spiritual enriching. Thank God for His provided home for every homeless With His compassion moving the dwellers who are selfless… There, Christ’s kindness welcomes those who feel worthless In the care for the needy by His grace so boundless. Thank God for every home available for His kingdom’s furtherance With His Great Commission charging the believer s’ endurance There, Christ’s promise enables saints’ perseverance In the fulfillment of the Great Commission with His assurance. Thank God for His empowered home for every Christian victory With His might working in the inhabitants to fight sin-causing misery… There, Christ’s grace reigns with His blessed story In the sincere worship for His praise, honor and glory.

area 19
Bro. Justin Sales Area 19 is made up of these places in Biñan: St. Francis 4, Irene Village, Country Homes, PLDT, Graceland, Brgy. Halang, Brgy. Soro-Soro, and Brgy. Tubigan. Bro. Justin Sales has been entrusted by God to lead Area 19 as an extension arm of our Pastor. Praise God for the committed members who are faithfully supporting the Area by their attendance in church services and activities. To date, Area 19 has 40 regular attendees. Area 19 has eleven active soulwinners who are involving in our church wide soulwinning. They hold their soulwinners’ meeting at Dizon’s residence every Thursday. During Saturday afternoon, a group of young people meets at Espineli’s residence where they are led to grow spiritually and encouraged to surrender their lives in serving God. An extension class at Brgy. Soro-Soro has also been started to reach these young ones for them to experience God’s love in their lives. At present, two Bible studies are being conducted during Thursdays and Saturdays. Meanwhile, the Area is praying to have a regular Bible study in Graceland as well. Praise God for this great opportunity and privilege to serve Him. Last DVBS 2010, almost all members participated by giving their financial support and assistance in fetching children and sending them back safely. Indeed, God is really good all the time for this great victory. We are praying for fruits from our DVBS, specially families. By God’s grace, an opportunity to conduct a campus ministry has been opened at Saint Francis National High School. This coming school year 2010-2011, there are active members who have assured their participation, and they are excitedly looking forward to it. Truly, Area 19 is experiencing God’s power and blessing. To God be the Glory.

Ayon sa Biblia, Iisa Lamang ang Daan Patungong Langit!
A
ng sabi ni Hesus, “Ako ang daan, ang katotohanan, at ang buhay: walang makapupunta sa Ama kundi sa pamamagitan ko.” Juan 14:6 Wala nang iba pang makapagliligtas sa iyo mula sa impierno. Magtiwala ka kay Hesus ngayon! (Roma 6:23)
“Kung ipahahayag ng iyong bibig na si Hesus ay Panginoon at mananam-palataya ka nang buong puso na Siya’y muling binuhay ng Diyos, ikaw ay maliligtas”. Roma 10:9 1. Aminin mo na ikaw ay isang makasalanan. Roma 3:10 2. Talikuran mo ang iyong mga kasalanan (magsisi). Gawa 17:30 3. Manampalataya ka na si Kristo Hesus ay namatay para sa iyo, nalibing at nabuhay namagmuli. Roma 10:9-10 4. Sa pamamagitan ng panalangin, tanggapin mo si Hesus sa iyong puso bilang iyong Tagapagligtas. Roma 10:13
MANALANGIN KA NG GANITO Panginoon, ako po ay isang makasalanan at nangangailangan ng kapatawaran. Nanampalataya po ako na nadanak ang dugo ni Hesus at Siya ay namatay sa krus para sa akin. Tinatalikuran ko na po ang aking mga kasalanan. Tinatanggap ko po si Kristo Hesus sa aking puso bilang aking Tagapagligtas. Amen. Kung tinanggap mo si Hesus bilang iyong Tagapagligtas, ito na ang simula ng iyong bagong buhay kay Kristo (Roma 8:1). Ngayon: 1. Basahin mo ang iyong Biblia araw-araw upang makilala pa ng lubusan si Kristo Hesus. 2. Makipag-usap ka sa Diyos sa panalangin araw-araw. 3. Manambahan ka sa isang simbahan na pinapangaral si Kristo at ang Biblia ang tanging pamantayan. 4. Ibahagi sa iba si Kristo Hesus.
