Listen to our new year's message from Bishop Juray Mora.

Matthew's genealogy points to God's faithfulness across generations, culminating in Jesus, the Messiah. This genealogy connects Jesus to promises fulfilled through imperfect people, showing that He came through sinners and for sinners, as the promised Savior. (References: Matthew 26:63-64, Mark 14:61-62, John 4:25-26)

Jesus' royal lineage through David fulfills God's promise of an eternal kingdom through David's heir. Unlike previous kings, Jesus is the enduring King who reigns forever, fulfilling the unconditional "Davidic Covenant" by God's faithfulness alone. (References: Matthew 1:1-17, 1 Chronicles 17:11-14, 2 Chronicles 6:16, Matthew 19:28, Matthew 25:31)

Matthew traces Jesus' lineage to Abraham, who God promised that his offspring would bless all nations. Abraham's obedience in offering Isaac prefigures Jesus' sacrifice. Jesus, Abraham's descendant, is the promised blessing, sacrificing Himself for humanity's sins. (References: Genesis 22:17-18, Hebrews 9:28 ( NIV ), 1John 4:10 ( NIV ), Genesis 15:5-6, Genesis 17:4-7)

When the Holy Spirit met the early disciples, they witnessed a radical change in their lives and lifestyle. They have a strong sense of family and value fellowshipping with God and meeting together every day. Their togetherness extends to attending the temple, breaking bread in their homes, and eating together with gladness. The favor of God in His Church caught the attention of others, and God is...

A communal relationship involves an individual taking responsibility for the well-being of others, rooted in love and compassion. In such relationships, support is provided based on need and genuine concern for others without asking anything in return. After Pentecost, the power of God is clearly demonstrated in Acts 2:44-45, as the early followers of Jesus prioritized their faith over their posse...

Corporate worship involves coming together as a body of believers, not only for fellowship but to be transformed through God's Word, and to experience God's power together in worship. As believers, we prioritize worship and the value of hearing God's Word together. Acts 2:42-43 paints a picture of the early church gathering faithfully for teaching, fellowship, and prayer, emphasizing the importanc...

We believe God's mission is to redeem a people for Himself from every tribe, nation, and language and to restore creation for His glory. As t h e Father loved the world and sent His Son, and the Father and the Son sent the Spirit, the Triune God sends the Church into the world to proclaim the gospel, make disciples, and seek God’s justice and reconciliation in the world.

We believe that Jesus, the King of kings and Lord of lords, will return to earth bodily, in power and glory, at a time fixed by the Father and unknown to the Church, to raise t h e dead and judge the world. He will clothe the righteous with immortal, glorious bodies, rewarding them according to their deeds. But the unrighteous, Satan, and the forces of darkness, He will punish with eternal destruc...

We believe that water baptism and communion are the two sacraments ordained by Christ, visible signs of God's covenant of grace. Baptism is the sacrament of entrance into the Church by which believers publicly identify with the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus. Communion is the sacrament whereby believers corporately remember Christ's body given and His blood shed for their forgiveness. Sa...

We believe that sanctification is the process, beginning at regeneration, whereby God conforms His people to the image of Christ through His Word and Spirit. By grace, Christians grow in holiness and love for God and others throughout their lives as they submit to Jesus, obey God’s word, and walk by the Spirit in fellowship with other disciples.

We believe that salvation, planned in eternity and promised throughout Scripture, is God's gracious act of rescue whereby He delivers lost and sinful people through faith in Christ's redemptive work. Because of His great love, God makes people spiritually alive in Christ through regeneration by the Holy Spirit. By grace, God forgives and justifies people through faith, apart from works, conferring...

We believe God has spoken through human authors i the sixty-six canonical books of the Old and New Testament is the only written, verbally inspired word of God and unchanging, and without error in all it affirms. As God infallible, and sufficient revelation for life, doctrine, an Bible is to be trusted and obeyed.

"We need a Passport to obey God's will." Our lives are nothing compared to the mission of the Gospel of Grace that God gave. The Gospel compels us to reach the nations. (Matthew 28:18-20, Acts 1:8, Revelation 5:9-10)

"We need a Bible to know God's will." Eternal life comes through the Son, Jesus Christ. Knowing Him is part of living out this life. We know the Son through His word, and His word sanctifies us and reveals His heart for the nations. (Genesis 1:26-28, Hebrews 2:9, Revelation 7:9-10)

Our generosity fulfills God’s purpose which results in a harvest of righteousness, meeting the needs of others, and overflowing thankfulness to God.

We will value what we invest our treasures in. One often neglected way of setting apart our hearts for God is through our giving. When we give to God and toward His kingdom, our hearts are directed toward Him and we learn to revere Him.

Everything belongs to the Lord, that's why we offer everything back to Him. Giving our firstfruits signifies our commitment to set all we have apart for Him. While tithing doesn't eam God's blessings, it is our way of honoring Him which results in abundance of spiritual blessings and guidance in stewardship.

God, our righteous judge, instructs us to select leaders who will administer justice and calls/commands us to pursue righteous living.

God's generosity inspires generosity from us towards the poor.

God's heart of compassion is the foundation for our compassion.

As God's people, we are called to respond in good deeds and bring glory to God.

God added us to His church according to His will. We are God's people set apart for the Lord to be part of His church.

As the previous generation, David prepared the next generation to fulfill God's purpose.

Even as a king, David listened and heeded to God's word through others.
