“ ” 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
G
OD be praised for giving us continual opportunity to serve Him! We do not deserve such blessings, but He graciously provides the grace for us to do so. Our Saviour is the best giver we could emulate. As we end this monthly theme, may I challenge you to be faithful givers of blessings God has entrusted us. Give out the gospel of salvation. Give to the Lord’s work. Give to God our best service. He unselfishly gave us His life so let us please Him through our giving. Only God can tell what honor and blessings await those who invest in God’s work. Imagine the souls that can be saved, the broken families that can be fixed, the missionaries that we can support, and the churches and ministries that can be strengthened. May we not disregard a simple opportunity God gave us… to be honorable givers. As we approach the last quarter of the year, we should always remind ourselves and our families of our yearly theme to have revival in our Christian life. Let us have an open heart in receiving God’s truth today from His Word. Thank you for being faithful in coming to church.

“PAANO KA NAGBIBIGAY SA PANGINOON?” Beata B. Agustin
Ibinibigay mo ba sa Panginoon ang buong bahagi Niya sa iyong panahon? Sa Kanya mo ngayon ibuhos ang lahat ayon sa Kanyang pagkakataon Upang di mo pagsisihan ang mga sandaling ginugol mo sa maling layon Kapag matandang-matanda ka na’t sa Kanya’y di makatugon. Ibinibigay mo ba sa Panginoon ang iyong buong lakas bilang buhay na handog? Sa Kanya mo ngayon ipagamit ang lahat nang walang halong paghahambog Upang di mo pagsisihan ang pagsandal sa iyong sariling moog Kapag hinang-hina ka na’t nahihiyang sa Kanya dumulog. Ibinibigay mo ba sa Panginoon ang buong hiling Niya sa iyong pagmamahal? Sa Kanya mo ngayon ipagkaloob ang lahat sa gitna ng mga balakid na sumasagabal Upang di mo pagsisihan ang pagkakaroon ng pusong para nang bakal Kapag batong-bato ka na’t matigas sa pagtanggap sa Kanyang pangaral. Ibinibigay mo ba sa Panginoon ang iyong buong pananampalataya? Sa Kanya mo ngayon ipagkatiwala ang lahat sa pagkilos ng Kanyang biyaya Upang di mo pagsisihan ang pagmamaliit mo sa tulong Niyang kaaya-aya Kapag litung-lito ka na’t sa pagdududa’y di makalaya. Ibinibigay mo ba sa Panginoon ang buong karapatan Niya sa iyong pagmamay-ari? Sa Kanya mo ngayon ialay ang lahat dahil Siya sa Iyo’y naghahari Upang di mo pagsisihan ang kakulangan mo sa takdang pagsusuri Kapag walang-wala ka na’t nahihirapang magpuri. Ibinibigay mo ba sa Panginoon ang iyong buong tagumpay? Sa Kanya mo ngayon ibalik ang lahat habang Siya sa Iyo’y umaantabay Upang di mo pagsisihan ang pag-iimbot mong kamunduhan ang suhay Kapag gaping-gapi ka na’t niyuyurakan ng kaaway. Ibinibigay mo ba sa Panginoon ang buong kaluwalhatian Niya sa iyong paglilingkod? Sa Kanya mo ngayon isuko ang lahat sa loob ng sakdal Niyang bakod Upang di mo pagsisihan ang paglayo mo’t pagtalikod Kapag luging-lugi ka na’t nakakaawa sa iyong pagkapagod.

Area 1/Division B1 Bro. Pops Villarosa
Ako ay nagpapasalamat sa pribilehiyo na makapaglingkod sa Panginoon sa pamamagitan ng ating simbahan dito sa CBBC. Ako ay naatasan ng ating Pastor na maging lider sa Area 1. Malaking kagalakan para sa akin na makatulong sa ating Pastor sa gawain dito sa San Pedro. Ang sakop ng aming Area ay ang mga sumusunod na lugar: Sucat, Bagumbayan, Sampaloc Site, Mon-el, BF Homes, 4th Estate Subd., Lopez, Dela Cruz Compd, at Kabihasnan. Nagpapasalamat ako sa mga miyembro sa aming area na sumasama sa programa ng ating soulwinning. Mayroong sumasamang humigit-kumulang na 5 bisita at nagkakaroon kami ng 2 baptisms tuwing Linggo. Sa biyaya ng Diyos, may mahigit na 70-80 ang sumasama tuwing Linggo sa ating panambahan. Kung kayo ay may mga kamag-anak o kakilala sa mga sakop ng aming Area ay maaari ninyong ipagbigay alam sa amin. Maraming salamat.
Family Testimony All glory to God for He counted us faithful putting us into the ministry. All the good things that happened to us as Christians are because of one man that surrendered his life for the work of the Lord here in San Pedro, and that is our beloved Pastor, Dr. Ed M. Laurena. We thank God for him and his family. We truly thank the Lord that He found us, and saved us. I got saved in September, 1992 and was baptized on March 7, 1993. My kids grew up in Sunday school since then. When God saved us, He also changed our lives, broadened our perspective and gave us new heart to love His work. Thru this church and the preaching of God’s Word we have heard, we have learned to love souls and entered into the choir ministry to serve Him. As parents, we thank God for giving us wisdom to train and discipline our kids. The sacrifice of preparing and bringing them to Sunday school has been paid off. Though our children are not perfect and we are not perfect, too, God by His abundant grace has made them better kids for His glory. It is indeed because of His working grace that they have become the persons that they are now. It is also by His mercy that they were able to surpass the trials and hardships of academic life and be consistent in the ministry while studying, considering the fact that we are not financially well-off. God has proven time and time again His faithfulness to us in that He has given to them good health during their school years. Indeed, the Word of God is true like what He said in Proverbs 21:31, “The horse is prepared against the day of battle: but safety is of the Lord.” It is a privilege and blessing to experience the working of God’s wonderful hand in leading us to this haven (CBBC). We would like to take this opportunity to thank our Pastor for his spiritual, moral and financial support when God took to His rest the head of our family and our beloved Bro. Gideon. Our words of gratitude may not be sufficient for the help he has extended to us but it is from the bottom of our hearts. To God be the glory! ACTS 29 | SEPTEMBER 26 | PAGE 05

“God has given us two hands - one to receive with and the other to give with. We are not cisterns made for hoarding; we are channels made for sharing.” - Graham
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.
