So, Talk 4 is titled Gifted but Divisive. In 1 Corinthians 12: 8-10, Paul says the people of Corinth are gifted. These guys were speakers, healers, prophets, discerners, tongue-interpreters, miracle workers. But behind all their problems is one big problem: Pride was dividing their community. So, Paul tells them what the Corinthians need is Love for one another–defining Love in his letter to them...

Messy Saints Love Thy Neighbor (Even if They Drive You Nuts) Solving the problems in 1 Corinthians Talk 5: Walk Back to Jerusalem Notes: To recognize Jesus, the followers–and we, to-day–need to go back to Jerusalem. When Jesus walked with the two followers, this means that though we are walking back to Jerusalem, Jerusalem is also coming back to us. In Tagalog, sinasalubong natin. We’re walking to...

WELCOME to Talk 3 of our Feast Talk series MESSY SAINTS. In this series, we talk about the five troubles of the little church in Corinth. So far, we’ve tackled the first two: In Talk 1, Division, and in Talk 2, Sexual Sin. Talk 3 delves into the third one: Food offered to idols. In Corinth, people worshipped gods. And they would offer animal sacrifices to them regularly.  The people were divided o...

WELCOME to Talk 2 of our brand-new series MESSY SAINTS. The series is titled MESSY SAINTS because it’s based on 1 Corinthians, the apostle Paul’s letter to the Corinth church where he mentioned dark secrets about them. Last week, we said that 1 Corinthians tackles the five troubles in the Corinth church—problems that we still face today, 2000 years later. In Talk 1, titled Confused Army, we unpack...

WELCOME to our brand new series MESSY SAINTS. The series is titled MESSY SAINTS because it’s based on 1 Corinthians, the apostle Paul’s letter to the Corinth church where he mentioned dark secrets about them.

Talk 2 is titled Matthew’s Table beca...

WE’RE now in the fifth part of our series, TABLE TALKS. Jesus said we should pray in private (Matthew 6:6). But for some reason, God thinks this is not enough During Pentecost, the Holy Spirit birthed the Church. And house churches started happening. Since that time, early Christians met each week to pray together, break bread, and listen to God’s Word. Two thousand years later, we’re still doing...

WE’RE now in the sixth and last part of our series, TABLE TALKS. Talk 6 presents the ultimate answer to the question unpacked in previous talks: What does spiritual maturity really mean? This Talk is crucial for The Feast because how we define spiritual maturity will define how we do church. If we have a wrong understanding of spiritual maturity, we’ll end up building the wrong church. Talk 6, tit...

Why do we worry? We worry because we feel we lack the resources we need to live a good life. If we see a world of scarcity, it’s easy to be afraid. If we see a world of scarcity, it’s easy to be selfish. Countries also worry about lacking resources to survive. So, they explore for more resources, even to the point of going to war with other countries to have the resources they need. But Jesus saw...

This is the last talk of PLENTY. In Talk 5, we find out what Radical Generosity exactly means—through the letters of St. Paul to the Corinthians. Some say the Bible does not talk about money. It does. St. Paul particularly asked for money from the Christian churches he organized to help the Jewish Christians in Jerusalem. St. Paul’s amazing story about the Macedonians demonstrated how yes, radical...

Christ has risen!    Thank you for joining us in Embraced this Lenten season. Today and in the days to come, let us make daily prayer a non-negotiable in our lives. By doing that, we allow Jesus to love us and bring us back to life.    Happy Easter!    #Lent2024 #Embraced2024 #TheFeast #YouAreLoved    Support the show

When all is quiet and darkness seems to have overtaken the light, the Blessed Mother never lost hope that Jesus would rise.  This Black Saturday, let us remain steadfast in faith that the promises of Jesus would be fulfilled. #Lent2024 #Embraced2024 #TheFeast #YouAreLoved Support the show

This Good Friday, we experience the depth of God's love for us. If we want to know the value of one human life, just look at the Crucifix to see the price God paid to save one human person.  From the cross, Jesus spoke Seven Last Words. May these words enter your heart and transform your lives to living flames of love #Lent2024 #Embraced2024 #TheFeast #YouAreLoved Support the show

 If the Lord is with Mary, then Mary is with the Lord.  As we hear mass this Holy Thursday, let's ask Mama Mary to prepare our hearts and receive Jesus so we can be the saints He has always called us to be.  #Lent2024 #Embraced2024 #TheFeast #YouAreLoved  Support the show

WEEK 6: | One of the ways we can discern whether or not our prayer, fasting, and alsmgiving have bore fruit is to see how we are living our lives. Have the sacrifices we have undertaken this Lent led us to be more loving, forgiving, and generous? This Palm Sunday, let's ask for the grace of vocation to love.  #Lent2024 #Embraced2024 #TheFeast #YouAreLoved Support the show

WEEK 5: | Our suffering is unbelievably powerful. The redemption of the world was made possible by Jesus not when He was preaching, healing, or raising the dead but when He was helpless and dying on the cross.  When we feel down, let us unite our sufferings with Christ not only to see ourselves free but so we can see our purpose behind the pain.  #Lent2024 #Embraced2024 #TheFeast #youareloved Supp...

WEEK 4: | Even when we were dead in sin, God brought us to life with Christ. Why? Simply because He loves us.  As we get closer to the Holy Week, let us remember the passion and death of Jesus with a prayer for our hearts to receive God's love #Lent2024 #Embraced2024 #TheFeast #youareloved Support the show

WEEK 3: | We are living temples of the Holy Trinity which makes us sacred beings. The greater we believe that God dwells within us, the greater reverence we will have for ourselves and for others. As we pray for divine love this Lent, let us also pray for self-love for it is only when we are full that we can fill others.  #Lent2024 #Embraced2024 #TheFeast #youareloved Support the show

WEEK 2: | As we continue with our Lenten season, let us pray to reject whatever prevents God from taking His rightful place in our lives. Let us also ask the intercession of the first Filipino saint, St Lorenzo Ruiz, for inspiration and courage to endure the hardships of living a godly life. #Lent2024 #Embraced2024 #TheFeast #youareloved Support the show
