“ ” Revive us through Honorable Giving
Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver. 2 Corinthians 9:7
Church In Action
From the Pastor’s Desk
A
S we dwell in the light of “Honorable Giving” which is our monthly theme, may we be reminded that we can never out give God. The life with the blessings that we enjoy everyday is already a great testimony of God’s generosity, and we have no way in our ability to pay Him. We do not deserve all of it, yet He continually gives. Even though, many times we fail to appreciate Him, He still supplies all of our need. What a good God we have! May this help us see giving, not as a big burden, but as a great opportunity to be obedient to the Lord, and become a real blessing. This Sunday, I am glad that we will able to give tribute to the grandparents of our church. To the “Lolos” and “Lolas,” we sincerely appreciate the love, sacrifice, and patience that you have invested. Proverbs 13:22 says, “A good man leaveth an inheritance to his children's children…” Truly, the best inheritance that you can leave to the younger generation is love for God, His Word, and for His work. As I continue to minister to our brethren in Taiwan, I am likewise encouraged and blessed by the Lord. Thank you for your prayers. Today and for the rest of the week, let us allow God to work in us and through us by His power and by His Word.

Happy Grandparents' Day! Day! Happy Grandparents' To all "Lolos" & "Lolas" of CBBC...
Few can bring the warmth We can find in their embrace And little more is needed to bring love Than the smile on their face They have a supply of precious stories Yet they have time to wipe a tear Or give us reasons to make us laugh They grow more precious through the years I believe that God sent us Grandparents As our legacy from above To share the moments of our life As extra measures of His love -Unknown Author
Continue giving as we are now only one floor away from finishing our building project. “Enlarge the place of thy tent, and let them stretch forth the curtains of thine habitations: spare not, lengthen thy cords, and strengthen thy stakes;” Isaiah 54:2

“NARITO ANG PUSO KONG NAIS KONG IBIGAY SA IYO, AKING DIYOS” Beata B. Agustin
Aking Diyos, narito ang puso kong sa Iyo’y umiibig… Alay nito ang pananampalataya kong sa Iyong kaligtasan nakatindig Tulutan Mong lagi akong sa Iyo makikinig at masayang makikipagniig Habang ibinibigay sa Iyo ang buhay kong tanging Ikaw ang tunay na himig. Narito ang puso kong sa Iyo’y sumasamba… Kaloob nito ang papuri ko sa Iyong pagpapala’t biyaya Tulutan Mong lagi kong ipagbubunyi ang pangalan Mong napakadakila Habang ibinibigay sa Iyo ang buhay kong tanging Ikaw ang tunay na ligaya. Narito ang puso kong sa Iyo’y nagpupugay… Hain nito ang pagpupunyagi kong sa Iyong lakas tumitibay Tulutan Mong lagi akong sa Iyo aasa para sa aking tiyak na tagumpay Habang ibinibigay sa Iyo ang buhay kong tanging Ikaw ang tunay na patnubay. Narito ang puso kong sa Iyo’y sumasamo… Kalakip nito ang pasasalamat ko sa Iyong kabutihang natatamo Tulutan Mong lagi kong idudulog sa Iyo ang mga adhikain ko sa paglago Habang ibinibigay sa Iyo ang buhay kong tanging Ikaw ang tunay na nagpapabago. Narito ang puso kong sa Iyo’y nananangan… Handog nito ang pagsisikap kong sa Iyong habag naaalalayan Tulutan Mong lagi akong sa Iyo magtitiwala nang walang alinlangan Habang ibinibigay sa Iyo ang buhay kong tanging Ikaw ang tunay na pinanggagalingan. Narito ang puso kong sa Iyo’y sumasandal… Kasama nito ang pagtatapat ko sa Iyong Salita’t pangangaral Tulutan Mong lagi kong susundin Iyong panuto tungo sa magandang asal Habang ibinibigay sa Iyo ang buhay kong tanging Ikaw ang tunay na ikinararangal. Narito ang puso kong sa Iyo’y nagpapasaklaw… Laan nito ang paglilingkod kong sa Iyong kalooban gumagalaw Tulutan Mong lagi akong sa Iyo magtatago laban sa kasamaang dumadalaw Habang ibinibigay sa Iyo ang buhay kong tanging Ikaw ang tunay na tumatanglaw.

Area 9/Division D1 Bro. Dison Cabilang
Area 9 covers these places in Sta. Rosa: Macabling, Iraq, Iran, Dita, Agata, San Lorenzo, Puting Tulay, and Malitlit. I have been entrusted by God to lead Area 9/D1. Being a new and young Area leader. I am humbled by the great privilege to be an extension arm of our Pastor, as I thank God for the opportunity that He has given me to serve Him. In my stay in the Area, I am delighted to see dedicated members. How I commend them to the Lord for faithfully supporting the Area by involving themselves in church activities, especially in soulwinning. I also praise God for the mothers who, in spite of their busy schedule, are still joining us in our Saturday soulwinning endeavors and Bible Studies every Thursday. By God’s grace, Area 9/D1 has 45 regular attendees every Sunday morning worship service. Despite the distance, members are still attending the evening service. Likewise, God is constantly giving fruits to the Area with souls that are being saved, and lives that are being changed through attending Sunday church services, and hearing the Word of God preached by our beloved Pastor and preachers of our church. We in Area 9 would like to thank God for our beloved Pastor, Dr. Ed Laurena and for his family for their faithfulness in the Lord’s work. We also praise God for the vision of our dear Pastor for us, members of CBBC. It is our hearts’ prayer and commitment to God that we will support the vision of the man of God by His grace.

“Giving is most blessed and most acceptable when the donor remains completely anonymous.” - Maimonides
Ayon sa Biblia, Iisa Lamang ang Daan Patungong Langit!

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.
