The Way Church Iloilo

As we continue reading the Book of Daniel, we delve even deeper into the extraordinary story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego and their unwavering faith to the one true God, Yahweh. In this episode, Pastor Ryan takes us on a compelling journey through the fiery furnace. We witness the unwavering faith of these three young men who, just like Daniel, understood that they could not control the even...

In this episode, we continue our exploration of the inspiring story of Daniel and his unwavering commitment to his faith. Building on the foundation laid in Part 1, Pastor Ryan takes us deeper into the concept of our identity in God. We learn that as Christians, the favor and hand of God on our lives sets us apart from the world around us. We are called to be holy and distinct, guided by the Holy...

The first part of the Book of Daniel emphasizes the importance of not compromising our walk with God. In today's world, there are many distractions and enticing opportunities that can lead us astray. As Christians, it's crucial that we hold firm to our beliefs and lifestyles and avoid conforming to the ways of this world, no matter how good they may seem. We serve God, and in order to equi...

Have you ever asked yourself about the true message of Christmas? Is it Santa Claus? Is it the giving of gifts? The real reason behind this Christmas season is that someone was born - to sacrifice Himself in order to save us. The real reason is that God was faithful to His word - for when God speaks, He binds Himself to His word. Jesus’ birth is something that we all probably have heard of since w...

As we continue on with our series, we focus on why Jesus is the reason for this season. Once we get to know Him more, the more we realize that He is worthy of all our praise. The more you see Jesus, the more satisfied you'll be, and the more you see, the more you will realize you are already complete in Him. Our true fulfillment and purpose come from seeking Jesus, Who is the answer to all of...

You tend to place worth on anything you bring to your life. The additions we made to our life that we assigned value to typically have an impact on everything we create. Whatever it is that you value most, you will always choose. If you truly love Jesus, you will always want to learn more about Him. Pursuing Jesus is not about getting more power -- it’s unlocking the power within you. KEY TAKEAWAY...

Have you ever experienced a state of being so in love that nothing else matters? He will do infinitely more than you could ever ask or dream if we make it our life's pursuit to learn more about God's solution, about His son - Jesus. God did not give us bread, He gave us Jesus. There is nothing greater than knowing Jesus. Ask yourself: Is Jesus a part of your life or is He your everything?...

The standard of the Lord for us is so amazing. Yet, we sometimes fight battles that we don’t even need to fight. We tend to set our own standards so low and we get to think that we are below what and where we’re supposed to be. It’s not over yet! Something greater is coming our way because God is a good God.   KEY TAKEAWAY : We become Holy not because of what we did, but because of our birth. It’s...

Often times, we might feel that what we’re doing is small and insignificant. Continuing the story of Gideon, he shows that a small action, a simple act of faith is better than doing nothing and waiting for the miracle. Being chosen has nothing do with our works, but it has everything to do with God’s goodness and faithfulness. KEY TAKEAWAYS : Nothing delays your deliverance like complacency. A sma...

The story of Gideon tells us how God would sometimes choose what the world thinks is "foolish" to mock what the world think is "wise". There are seasons in our lives when we feel like we're too irrelevant, too weak. This often leads us to want to give up on the things that we pursue in life. But, remember God's Word and promises - He is constantly working for us and on us....

The Kingdom of God is seeing and knowing, it is experiential – for knowing is deeper than feeling. The devil wants you to focus on the dramatic, when God wants you to focus on the reality because beyond all those pain, there is meaning to life.  God is waiting on you. You are more powerful and more anointed in unveiling God’s perfect will. What you’re going through is nothing compared to who you r...

Once we are born again, the old spirit is gone; we are transformed into a new creation. But despite being born again, why do we still fall to sin? It is because of our mind. That is why we need to repent. Our minds have been wired to the things of this world, which is why we need to change the way we think. We might fall from time to time, but with the grace of God, we must continue to pursue a ri...

If you think you are living in total freedom, think again. Look around you, we are always bound to something. How free are we really? The good news is, there is true freedom in Jesus Christ, the Son of God. By design, God gave to Adam, the freedom, the free will to make choices. That is true freedom, that is true love.  Without a choice, there is no love. That's why God doesn't force you t...

The entire Christian walk is nothing more than a life of perpetual gratitude. Gratitude for what Jesus sacrificed on the cross. Through the blood of Jesus, it did not only free you from sin, it also reconciled our relationship with God. Jesus became an eternal witness of the payment. As long as the scars are there, you remain forgiven; He is a faithful witness of what He has done. KEY TAKEAWAY : I...

Nothing that we do for God gains us any spiritual points or merits. When we make sacrifices, we do it because we understand the goodness of God to us. We are who we are because of the payment which is Jesus Christ.  We are made right with God by placing our faith in Jesus Christ. And this is true for everyone who believes, no matter who we are. “For everyone has sinned; we all fall short of God’s...

In the Old Testament, a biblical temple is a place where the presence of God is released and where God and man converge.  But when Jesus came on earth, He became the temple of God.   “All right,” Jesus replied. “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.” John 2:19 Jesus was talking about His body when the Jewish leaders doubted His God-given authority. Right from the start, Jesus...

We've been running after all sorts of blessings, but we’ve forgotten the true source of blessings who is Jesus Christ - The El Shaddai of God. In Hebrew, El Shaddai means God of more than enough. Blessings are not just money and earthly possessions but also eternal treasure. When God blesses us, he intends for that blessing to stay with us and he doesn’t have intentions of taking away it away...

We may find fulfilment in our relationships, careers, businesses etc. but true completeness can only be found in God through Jesus Christ. For in Jesus, we lack nothing. As a grace church, we believe that we are already blessed and complete or "shalom" in Christ. When we say “shalom”, it doesn’t only mean peace but completion. All the blessings, God has already provided it all in the spiri...

God is not only holy but He is also just. That’s why sin cannot be left unpunished and so Jesus Christ had to pay for our sins. “Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.” (Hebrews 4:16) What’s the difference between grace and mercy? Grace is when God gives you what you don’t deserve. Mercy is when God do...

Committing to serving God will never go in vain. We can’t go wrong with serving out of gratitude when we understand what God has done for us.  We do things for His Kingdom not to earn merit out of our performance but rather from the understanding that our service is a true worship because we have fully accepted God's grace and mercy. KEY TAKEAWAY : Your sacrifices are not payments for what God...

Being committed to giving should come from the understanding that we are already blessed. Giving is not to address a need but rather to express our love and to combat greed. Matthew 6:19-21 reveals that no one can serve 2 masters at the same time. You can’t serve both God and money. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. KEY TAKEAWAY : God is not in the business of cursing. He...

Praising God is the easiest commitment we can make. The importance of praise cannot be overstated, and Pastor Ryan discusses how it impacts not only you, but those around you as well. KEY TAKEAWAY : Use praise as a weapon; when you praise in public, you’re not only doing it for yourself, but also for everyone else. We would like to hear your prayers. If you or someone who needs prayers, please vis...

Pastor Ryan begins a new series entitled: “This is Our Church: Commitment is the Proof of Our Love”. If you truly love God, then you must be willing to commit to Him. In this first part of the series, Pastor Ryan discusses about God's deep commitment to His people, as well as how He manifests His love through giving. KEY TAKEAWAY : “God is the greatest lover because He is the greatest giver.”...

No spirit can ever dominate you unless you allow them to. Pastor Ryan ends our series on Authority of the Believer by talking about the battle inside our minds, and how we should use our God-given authority to remind ourselves that we're already victorious.   KEY TAKEAWAY : “God and Satan are trying to win what is between your ears. Whoever wins this battlefield in your life gets to manifest t...

Even in the spirit realm, evil spirits understand how important authority is. In this message, Pastor Ryan discusses how evil spirits have no power over you because of your God-given authority.   KEY TAKEAWAY : “There is authority in the spiritual realm. The system of authority is what makes things work.”   We would like to hear your prayers. If you or someone who needs prayers, please visit https...
