Abba Father: From Orphan Spirit to Adopted Sonship In this Father’s Day message by Ps. Imee Francisco titled “Abba Father, the cry that was always yours” explores the word “Abba” being mentioned three times in Scripture—Romans 8:15, Galatians 4:6, and Jesus’ prayer in Gethsemane (“Abba Father… not my will but yours”).  Ps. Imee teaches that crying “Abba” is not human effort but a gift given throug...

Jesus is our Everlasting Father.  Ps. Yen's sermon centers on Jesus as “Everlasting Father” from Isaiah 9:6, explaining it is not a Christmas sermon but a call to deeper understanding.  Using King Josiah’s story, we see how responding to God’s Word can break generational patterns: Josiah sought God despite a wicked family line, repented when the Book of the Law was found, and was guided by men...

Key scripture: John 14:1-6 Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. In My Father’s house are many [ a ]mansions; if  it were  not  so,  [ b ]I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am,  there  you may be also. And where I go you know, and the way you kno...

This is a sermon delivered by Ps. Sandro Silverio Isaiah 40:28-31 Have you not known? Have you not heard? The everlasting God, the Lord, The Creator of the ends of the earth, Neither faints nor is weary. His understanding is unsearchable.

Is it well with your husband? Is it well with the child?’ ” And she answered...

Then the Lord said to Moses: “Speak to the Israelites and say to them: ‘When you cross the Jordan into Canaan, select some towns to be your cities of refuge, to which a person who has killed someone accidentally may flee. They will be places of refuge from the avenger, so that anyone accused of murder may not die before they stand trial before the assembly. - Numbers 35:9-12 ——— Join us for our Su...

Key scripture: Then, as He was now drawing near the descent of the Mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works they had seen, saying: “ ‘Blessed  is  the King who comes in the name of the Lord!’ Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!” And some of the Pharisees called to Him from the crowd, “Teacher, rebuke Your...

In his sermon, Pastor Ryan talks about how the modern church has shifted from discipleship to “consumer Christianity,” where people participate only if the benefits outweigh the cost. He contrasts preferences and entertainment-driven church attendance with worship centered on God, calling believers contributors, not spectators, and urging daily self-denial and surrender. He talks about transaction...

Key verse: Revelation 3:15-16 I know your works: you are neither cold nor hot. Would that you were either cold or hot! So, because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of my mouth.  Pastor Ryan shares a message about spiritual apathy—being “meh” or lukewarm—which Jesus rebukes in Revelation 3:15–16, calling the church to be hot, not indifferent.

In this sermon by Ps. Charisse, it centers on Philippians 1:20–21, explaining that “to die is gain” is true only for those whose life is in Christ, not for merely noble causes, and rejects praying for the dead, purgatory, suicide, or escapism.  It emphasizes that the Greek sense is “the living Christ,” meaning Christ is not an addition but the essence of identity, purpose, direction, and endurance...

In this sermon, Ps. Charisse is calling both unbelievers and believers back to God’s heart through true repentance. Ps. Charisse corrects common misconceptions: repentance is not just saying sorry, not merely stopping sin, and not only for unbelievers. Instead, it is a heart-level turning back to God rooted in His character: gracious, merciful, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love. She w...

In this sermon, Ps. Yen explores how God often interrupts our plans not to derail us, but to redirect us. Through the story of Saul on the road to Damascus, we see that disruption is not always a sign of being outside God’s will. Sometimes it is proof that we are right in the center of it. Saul’s mission was stopped, his certainty shattered, and his identity undone—not to destroy him, but to revea...

In this sermon, Ps. Cyra talks about how the world defines love as emotion, convenience, or self-serving acceptance, but Jesus defines love through obedience. Love takes shape through obeying Christ’s commands. Obedience is presented not as legalism or payment, but as fruit, alignment, and protection for relationship with God. Key Verse: John 14:15-21: “If you love me, you will keep my commandment...

True calling attracts criticism not because it is loud but bec...
