His coming is a constant reminder that GOD IS WITH US in our trials and struggles, to accept and forgive us, and to send us on a mission. Let Christmas be a time of reconciliation. A Savior has been born to us. God has drawn near. May our thanksgiving overflow everyday!

"When you have a vision, what seems hard becomes easy and what seems impossible, becomes possible." - Pastor Carlo Panlilio

Pastor Carlo Panlilio sets November on a high note as he delivers a new series, "Living Life in the Highest." Is it possible that there is more to life than mere striving? Apostle Paul modeled this: beyond gaining achievement for himself, he found his ultimate pursuit in Christ. God is also inviting us to this life of upward call. In order to live this way, here are four processes one must go thro...

In our Christian life, we will go through temptations to compromise. This was shown in prophet Balaam's life. His response was not right, as he fell into these mistakes: 1.) He put himself in a place where he can fall. 2.) He was running away from the voice of God. 3.) He taught Moab to curse the Israelites. But God wants us to be a people who are totally surrendered to Him. An example of such is...

“The most valuable ground that you can invest in is the soil of your heart.” Building on the importance of cultivating our inner lives, Pastor Carlo Panlilio shared on keys in growing deeper in our walk with God: absolute surrender and total obedience. When we try to walk with God but aren’t fully surrendered to Him, we tend to compromise, resist His Voice, and fail to shine His light. But a fully...

FOUR major obstacles to our spirituality: 1. Chronic Spiritual Infancy (or the lack of action to mature spiritually) 2. Preoccupation with Externals (or too much focus on outward appearance and reputation rather than character and spirituality) 3. Scarcity of Daily Input (or the failure to spend time with God daily) 4. Unyielded Life (or refusing to acknowledge God's lordship over our lives) To tr...

Bob Moorehead said, that our time in history is a great paradox. We’ve done so many exploits outside, but did little to cultivate our inner lives. But understanding our inner selves is the key to living life to the fullest. Pastors Carlo Panlilio shared three principles on how to cultivate our inner lives: THINK BIG. The way you think reflects your view of God. Regardless of what happened in the p...

We are hardwired to long for an intimate relationship with God. Deep inside each of us is a longing to know and love God, but somewhere along the way, we have acquired false beliefs about intimacy with Him: -that it is the key to blessing, when it is the blessing in itself -that it is a prize to be won, when it is grace bestowed -that it is optional, incidental, or supplemental, when it is fundame...

“How is my inner life?” We may be going to church, doing good deeds, serving in a ministry, but still be unaware that deep inside, our hearts are no longer beating for the most important thing: our relationship with God. In this message entitled “Cultivating Your Inner Life: From Toxic Spirituality to Cultivated Christianity”, Pastor Carlo invited everyone to search their hearts and see whether th...

Pastor Carlo Panlilio gave a fresh revelation from the parable of the talents (Matthew 25:14-30). He reminded us that we are simply stewards of our lives and we need to make our lives count. To do that, we need to realize that what we have is not ours. It would be easier for us to share our lives and invest on other people if we accept that God owns it. Explore our talents for we have been given s...

"How amazing it is to think that God chooses us to work with Him!" - Pastor Carlo Panlilio

“Prayer is not an occasion or event. Prayer must be our lifestyle.” Prayer is a powerful tool to pursue our one thing, which is our relationship with God. Just as human relationships flourish through constant communication, our relationship with God deepens through prayer, which is simply communicating with God. It is not an isolated event; it is a lifestyle, a habit sewn into every aspect of our...

Men are wired to have desires – to want, to chase after something, to hunger. The moment we wake up, we start fulfilling those desires until satisfaction. Every day we chase after the things of the world. Some of them are satisfied while some are not. For those things that are satisfied, we find ourselves wanting more and more until we realize that it cannot fill our hearts. Pastor Jill Anne Boyon...

Often, we turn to the things of this world to find happiness and contentment — things that are fleeting and unsatisfactory, which in the end leave us as empty as before and still wanting more. But God invites us to the greatest pursuit of all, the pursuit of knowing Him more intimately. It is only in knowing God and having an intimate relationship with Him that we find joy, peace, and satisfaction...

Pastor Carlo Panlilio concludes the #‎TuloyPaRin Series by emphasizing on the importance of true friendships in our journey of going forward in our lives. We will face a lot of hardships and struggles in our lives which may be too much for us to handle on our own. And this why we need true friends. We need friends that will encourage and refresh us in the times when we’re down. We need friends who...

“What keeps you going?” Pastor Carlo Panlilio talked about the most probable reason why people quit and give up: a lack of vision. Everyone experiences trials of all sorts, but A GOD-GIVEN VISION WILL KEEP YOU GOING. What is a vision? A vision is a compelling picture of the desired — it is something that moves you and causes you to act. A vision should be inspiring — it is meant to attract people...

As Peter and John performed miracles and boldly proclaimed the Word of God, people “saw their courage and realized that they were unschooled, ordinary men. They were astonished and they took note that these men had been with Jesus.” (Acts 4:13) All of us leave a lasting impression on every person that we meet. Let it be that the imprint we produce makes people recognize that “we have been with Jes...

“Ayokong masanay ka sa iyong pag-iisa.” Pastor Zhaleen Panlilio continued the #‎TuloyPaRin series by sharing a message entitled “Covenant Relationship: A More Excellent Way.” Indeed, one of the reasons we are able to move forward in spite of the problems and challenges in life is because of the people who are in covenant with us – people who are committed to love and support us, no matter what. In...

Why People Resist Change: 1. When the status quo is perceived to be satisfactory. 2. When the purpose of change is not clearly understood. 3. When they become engaged in short-term myopic thinking. What is Change? 1. Real change is a process, not a destination. We are a work in progress. 2. Change is letting go and grabbing hold. You need to let go of the old so you can grab hold of what God is gi...

This Independence Day, Pastor Carlo Panlilio continues to talk about overcoming fear, showing us how to move from the realm of Fear-dom to Freedom. Once or twice, we’ve experienced fear. It has amplified itself in our lives, persisting to discourage us and terrify us. Fear affects the way we live our lives, limiting us from trying things in our lives that we could have enjoyed. Pastor Carlo encour...

Pastor Olive Dimaranan continues our ‪#‎OvercomerSeries‬ by sharing a word on ‪#‎OvercomingFear‬. She used the story when Jesus and Peter walked on water in Matthew 14:22-33. In our life, we are not just meant to be spectators. God wants us to experience miracles firsthand. But one thing that often hinders us is fear. Everyday, we face so many things that may cause us to be afraid, but God has eno...
