Welcome back to our exciting teaching series, GENERATIONS. Our core thesis: God wants all generations to serve TOGETHER. No one generation is better than the other. Each generation has a unique gift to offer the world, born of both their wisdom and their wounds. Talk 4 explores how different generations express love. Each generation expresses love in very different ways. This is why we have confli...

WE’RE starting a brand-new series titled GENERATIONS: How You Were Shaped—And What You Can Do About It. Generations are groups of people born within the same, roughly 15- to 20-year time period, who share similar social, historical, and cultural experiences during their formative years. Because they grew up in the same context, they tend to develop similar values, attitudes, and behaviors, which s...

Last week, we started a brand-new series titled GENERATIONS: How You Were Shaped—And What You Can Do About It. In Talk 2: How Each Generation Works, we explore how each generation relates to work in various ways–and if we follow God and love our neighbor, these differences can complement and bless the world. The key message of Talk 2: God works through your work.

WELCOME to the third installment of GENERATIONS. Our core thesis: God wants all generations to serve TOGETHER. No one generation is better than the other. Each generation has a unique gift to offer the world, born of both their wisdom and their wounds. Talk 3 explores how each generation pursues wellbeing. Or what we call The Good Life. If we accept what each generation brings to the table, we can...

WELCOME to the last Talk of our series, CALLED TO WITNESS. This is the last talk of our series CALLED TO WITNESS. Talk 5 presents the other 4 Qualities of a Loving Community: Forgiving; Courageous; Humble; and Committed. The Israelites were faithfully devoted to following the Christian teachings. So, the Lord kept adding to their number daily.

OUR series, CALLED TO WITNESS, disturbs our comfortable life, because in this 5-Talk course, we’re exploring what it means to evangelize, to be witnesses for God. But being God’s witness is dangerous. Talk 3 presents martyrs–those who were persecuted, who died, as they openly lived and defended their faith amid non-Christian countries or environments. God still calls us to be His witnesses—His mar...

WELCOME to the second installment of our series, CALLED TO WITNESS: How To Share The Good News with Your World.

Talk 2 is about what witness really means. In the Bible, the Hebrew word for witness is eid. Eid isn’t something we do, but some...

WELCOME to Talk 5 of our series, HOW DID WE GET HERE? Making Sense of Life When Everything Falls Apart—A Bible Study on The Exile. The New Temple. A new world superpower, Persia, defeated Babylon. Persia did not set the Israelites free, but it allowed the Israelites to go back home to Jerusalem. They returned and rebuilt a new Temple. But it was not as grand as their former Temple. God did not int...

The Popular Promise: Jeremiah 29:11 is one of the most beloved verses in the Bible, but it was originally spoken to people who had lost absolutely everything—prisoners and deportees in Babylon. The Meaning of Shalom: The “prosperity” God promises is Shalom, which refers to wholeness and right relationships with God, others, and self, rather than mere material wealth. The Call to Engage: God didn’t...

Talk 6 is titled Already– But Not Yet because yes, God’s House– we– are already up. But we are not yet complete. We’re caught in this tension between already redeemed by Jesus, yet still waiting to be fully redeemed by Jesus. The key message of Talk 6 is: God’s House is still under construction.

WELCOME back to our series, WITH ALL YOUR STRENGTH, Loving God with a Healthy Body. Talk 1 of this series answered the question, ‘Why Fuss about Health?’. Talk 2 is about sleep as an act of worship. Talk 3 focuses on movement. We have a national crisis. The Philippines has a massive problem: An entire generation is now sedentary. We’ve heard of Gen X, and Gen Z, and Gen A. And now, Generation O–wh...

Talk 1 of this series answered the question Why Fuss about Health?– and inspired us to focus on watching our diet, walk, etc. Talk 2 is telling us to sleep. Sleep is the foundation of our physical health. But as the title of Talk 2 indicates, sleep is also important for the soul. Because sleep will teach you to deepen your trust in God– by trusting that He watches you even when you’re sleeping. Th...

WELCOME back to our series, WITH ALL YOUR STRENGTH, Loving God with a Healthy Body. In the past three weeks, we talked about why you should care for your body (Talk 1), why sleep is an act of worship (Talk 2), and why movement magnifies the Lord (Talk 3). In Talk 4, we tackle the topic everyone has an opinion about: Food. Key message of Talk 4: God is our real food.

Welcome to our brand new series, WITH ALL YOUR STRENGTH, Loving God with a Healthy Body. Our series title is taken from the Shema, the greatest commandment of Jesus: “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.” (Mark 12:30 NIV) For the next five weeks, we’re going to talk about your health, but not just for the usual reasons...

We are now in the last Talk of our Feast Series, COME and SEE, about the Gospel of John. Jesus was crucified. So, the apostles were depressed, asking each other, “What will I do now?” Peter felt it was time to go back to his old life—to start fishing again. This tells you that even if you’re already following the Lord, there will be dark times when you’ll want to give up. It happens to the best of...

We are down to the second to the last Talk of our Feast Series, COME and SEE, about the Gospel of John. When people encounter Jesus, their lives change forever. And the entire Gospel of John is all about theseturning-point encounters. At the start of each other: Nicodemus the Pharisee and the Samaritan Woman with five failed marriages and shacking-up with a sixth guy. One was an upright religious...

Talk 9 of our COME and SEE Feast Talk Series is about the climactic moment in the Gospel of John where Jesus is going to be proclaimed King. But what a crazy way to be enthroned as King. Jesus is the only King in the universe who used a criminal’s cross for His royal throne. For most of us, we’re now jaded by the Crucifixion story. Talk 9, however, brings us into the mystery of the Crucifixion. Th...

Talk 8 of our COME and SEE Feast Series on the Gospel of John presents a macro view of John 13 to 17, where three events happen: (1) Foot-washing; (2) Betrayal; and (3) Last Speech. And all three events happen in one place—the Upper Room. In the three events, Jesus talks about the hour to come. (John 13:1a NABre) This hour is what the seven miracles of Jesus, called the signs, are pointing to. Jes...
