Church In Action
From the Pastor’s Desk
OD is indeed worthy of our thanksgiving and worship. May He find us sincerely praising Him for His blessings in our lives and in our Church, which include the ordination of our five preachers last Wednesday, the start of our expanded Sunday School classes for young people today, and the graduation-promotion of our 7-Stage Discipleship endeavor this afternoon. With our spirit of gratefulness to the Lord is our plea for His power to revive us always so we can do His will and be a blessing to others. Such is needful as we gear up ourselves by His grace in facing the second half of the year, as well as the challenges that come with it. What matters though is our trust in the Lord Who knows what is best for us, coupled by our diligence in doing His entrusted roles for us. This July, let us work for “Healthy Relationships” which our monthly theme asserts. Let us strive to keep our family and church relationships healthy through the anchor of God’s compassion, along the pillar of biblical doctrines, and around the cord of love and respect for each other. Together, let us continually strengthen our relationships as soulwinners, prayer partners, encouragers, mission supporters, and life builders…all with His might and mercy.

“BLESSED RELATIONSHIP WITH THE LORD” Beata B. Agustin
How blessed am I to enjoy my relationship with the Lord Since I’ve been bound to Him with His salvation-cord I can come to Him, yielding myself to the grace He does afford Thru the invitation He declares in His Word. How blessed am I to commune with the Lord without hesitation Since I’ve become His child by virtue of His adoption I can talk to Him, expressing myself in earnest supplication Thru the answer He assures by His compassion. How blessed am I to stay always in the Lord’s presence Since I’ve been forgiven by His purifying license I can worship Him, immersing myself in His holy magnificence Thru the cleansing He grants for my soul’s effervescence. How blessed am I to seek the Lord freely for my faith’s refining perfectly Since I’ve become His heir by His blood-priced sacrifice truly I can meet Him, humbling myself at His throne sincerely Thru the fellowship He initiates blissfully. How blessed am I to cling to the Lord with divine intimacy Since I’ve been redeemed by His tender mercy I can cleave to Him, submitting myself to His miracles’ fervency Thru the help He offers midst turmoil of urgency. How blessed am I to be acquainted with the Lord’s ways Since I’ve become His new creation to give Him praise I can live for Him, delighting myself in His work all through my days Thru the love He covers me, wrapped by His care’s embrace. How blessed am I to abide in the Lord to experience His glory Since I’ve been rescued from hell’s damnation and sin’s misery I can serve Him, committing myself to proclaim His Gospel story Thru the blessings He provides along His promised victory.

area 24
Bro. Nestor Tesoro Ang Area 24 ay matatagpuan sa GMA, Cavite. Nag-uumpisa ito sa may tulay ng Area-C hanggang Petron ng kanto Bulihan. Ako ay lubos na nagpapasalamat sa ating mahal na Pastor sa kanyang tiwala para ako ay maging extension niya sa paglilingkod sa mga anak ng Diyos sa Area 24. Bagaman may kalayuan din ang aming Area, hindi ito nagiging hadlang para kami ay hindi makapagdala ng bisita tuwing Linggo. Salamat sa Diyos na patuloy na kumikilos sa buhay ng mga miyembro. Wala man silang sapat na kinikita, sila mismo ang makapagpatotoo kung paano gumagawa ang Panginoon sa pamilya nila. Sa katunayan, may ilang ina ng tahanan, na nagsisikap isama ang kanilang mga anak na hindi pa nakakalakad para lang makapag-imbita at makapagbahagi ng Salita ng Dios. Nakakatuwa na may mga batang may gulang na siyam o sampo, na dahil sa kanilang palagiang pagsama sa soulwinning, ay nakakapagbahagi na rin sila sa kanilang mga kaklase. Kaya sa bawat pagkikita namin at sa aking pagpa-follow-up ay sinasabi nilang, “Sir, may 8 akong na-witnesan. Sir, may pito. Sir, etc.” Isang pagpapala sa Area namin nitong buwan ng Hunyo ay ang pagsagot ng Panginoon sa aming panalanging magkaroon uli ng Bible Study Center. Ito ang ginagamit ng Panginoon para ang mga taga-Area 24 ay magkatipon-tipon para mag-aral ng Kaniyang Salita at sabay-sabay na mananalangin. Nitong huling Huwebes ay biniyayaan kami ng pitong bisita, at sa biyaya ng Panginoon sila ay tumanggap kay Hesus bilang Tagapagligtas. Pangatlong linggo na namin sa Bible Study Center at tumaas ang aming attendance sa bilang na 22. Sa extension class naman ay aming ipinapanalanging maaabot ang bawat tahanan ng mga estudyante na aming tinuturuan at mabahagian ng kaligtasan. Taos puso ko ring pinapasalamatan ang Panginoon sa aking mga kapwa manggagawa ng ating simbahan. Pinapasalamatan ko ang kanilang pag-ibig at katapatan sa paglilingkod sa Diyos. Sila ay patuloy na sumusuporta sa programa ng ating Pastor at ng ating simbahan. Maraming salamat sa inyong panalangin. Ang papuri’t pasasalamat ay ibinabalik ko sa Panginoon.

“O for a closer walk with God, a calm and heavenly frame, a light to shine upon the road that leads me to the Lamb!” - Cowper
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.
