Church In Action
From the Pastor’s Desk

E indeed experienced a Spirit-filled week! “For such a time as this,” God worked through every part of our Missions Conference! Though we were not expecting a big number of delegates, God gave us 505 registrants from other churches, and 56 of those are pastors and missionaries. We also had great fellowship, helpful sessions, and life- changing sermons. God alone is worthy of the glory for giving us a victorious event. I deeply appreciate all members who have involved themselves in the said occasion. I am proud to pastor a church with members who show their love for missions. I believe that God has used you to encourage many pastors. Your hospitality by sharing your homes, your generosity by your giving, your cooperation in your respective areas, and your humility by your response to the Word of God will surely be blessed by God. I pray that God will use our church more in supporting more missionaries by our faith- promise giving. It was also a joy to see our newest building being dedicated to the Lord last Thursday. This also is a great testimony of your faith! I pray that all these would not tempt us to relax or slow down, but challenge us to do more for God. With our December theme, “Revive Us Again through Heavenly Hope,” let us continually thank God for making us a part of a growing church, and let us constantly ask Him to help us grow more. May I remind you that your presence today in church is a blessing!

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.
