If you want to live, leave! with Bro Johnlee Franco
Whether you're learning about Christianity for the first time, or you came to the faith decades ago, you may wonder what it means to live a Christian life. It can be especially challenging to determine how to live a Christian life in a secular world, where many aspects of a modern lifestyle conflict with God's design. We're going to look at several ways Christians can live life the way God intended: one of dependence on and dedication to Him.

Increase our Faith (Sin, Faith and Duty) with Pastor Jomar Reaño
Increasing our faith requires trusting the Lord with our whole souls and striving to act as He would in all circumstances. Jesus Christ's early Apostles opened a rich vein of pure gold for our consideration when they pleaded to the Lord, “Increase our faith” (Luke 17:5)

Preaching the Gospel of Truth with Pastor Carding Rodilla
The word “gospel” is not a contemporary word. It’s derived from an old English word, godspel. It simply means good news or glad tidings. Additionally, “evangelist” is translated from the Greek word evangelistes and means someone who is a presenter of the gospel, or good news. Many call themselves evangelists and assert they are presenting the good news. But of the many “evangelists,” or preachers of good news, who really understands and presents the complete meaning of Jesus Christ’s message?

Be Still: The Lord Almighty is With Us with Pastor Ricky Soriano
This was one of my big lessons in Lent this year, the lesson of patience and faith. This idea that by being still, I leave room for God, for God’s work, for something bigger to happen than the next thing I might do if I were to act on my own. Being still gives me time to think, to listen, to wait. Being still means that I know, in act and deed that God is with me, leading me, and I have surrendered to His guidance. Being still says I am faithful, and that I need and love and trust God. One simple action that holds so much silent, purposeful meaning.

Days in Quarantine with Edina Grace Arellano
How do we shape a Christian response to the COVID-19 pandemic?
First, we follow all directives of public health officials, the University or other places of employment, and follow the advice of medical experts. This includes suspending the primary Christian practice of gathering to worship the Lord. It is our Christian duty to take responsibility for ourselves and those we live with, so that we do not inadvertently spread the virus and tax already overwhelmed health care systems.
We pray for all medical personnel daily and repeatedly. They are risking their own health to care for others. They are already exhausted; and they carry the burden of having to make difficult decisions about the allocation of scarce resources, such as ventilators and in some places, oxygen.
We do not hoard. In the face of our own fears and personal anxieties we act responsibly and turn outward in prayer and concern for others more affected than we.

How to see your Blessings with Bryan Esguerra
I’m sure there has been much pain in your life. You have probably had extreme ups and downs, and times of emotional, spiritual, and physical unrest. This is why gratitude (http://shakeoffthegrind.com/living-a-grateful-grind/how-to-stay-grateful-no-matter-what-the-circumstances) can be one of the most difficult virtues to uphold.
We forget that gratitude is not only about our accomplishments, what we have, or the good fortune we experience, but that gratitude comes from simply being a person alive in the world. There are many blessings in disguise that aren’t always apparent to us, and many of these blessings are afforded to us simply for being alive! As long as we have life, we can learn to be grateful for it, and uncover our unique human blessings despite the hardships. Below are some broad and general blessings that you may have overlooked.

Lesson from the Parable of the Persistent Widow with Mikaela Buscano
In the parable, when the widow kept coming to the unjust judge her plea was “Grant me justice against my adversary” (Luke 18:1-8 NIV). In her plea, she used a word that is easy to overlook but that makes all the difference in what she requested. What’s that word? It’s justice. The word justice is based on the word just which means “based on or behaving according to what is morally right and fair” (Oxford Dictionary). So when the widow requested justice, it indicated that she wasn’t asking for a favor, she was asking for something that was rightfully hers.
In any society, there are laws that dictate what should happen when certain conditions are met. We are normally aware of the laws that result in negative consequences if we break them, but there are also laws that benefit us if we ask according to them. The persistent widow understood this.
We can learn from the widow by asking for things smartly. By smartly, I mean with knowledge. Asking with knowledge not only includes knowing what is rightfully ours, but also the way we ask. If we do, it’s no question of whether or not we will get what we ask for, it’s only a matter of when we’ll get it. Jesus used the example of a judge “who neither feared God nor cared what people thought” (Luke 18:2 NIV) to represent how we can get a breakthrough in a worst-case scenario by our persistence. But at the end of the parable, He goes on to explain how God, unlike the judge, is just, pointing to the fact that we can definitely get an answer in reality.

Cain and Abel with Nathan Sta Maria
The story of Cain and Abel is the next major story in the Bible, after the Creation account and the story of the Garden of Eden. In short, Cain murders his younger brother Abel and is exiled for his crime. But is the story ‘just’ a moral tale, or might it be an attempt to explain something deeper about the development of human civilisation?

Nothing is too hard for the Lord with Ar-jay Aguedan Ballaco
When we look at the world with all of its trials, troubles, tribulations, and heartaches; we sometimes ask: "Where is God? Why doesn't He do something?" Is it that God is not able? Is the situation too large or too difficult for God?

A Father's Love with Pastor John Daniel Sta Maria
At times, we may see God like some fathers here on earth— harsh, angry, permissive, or distant, but this distorted view is a goal of the enemy. He tries to pervert everything good that God is— including the image of father. Yet, in reality, God assuredly is the perfect Father we all are looking for— we know that His love endures forever. He wants to heal you in your hurt, and He can handle anything and everything you bring to Him. Whatever your relationship is with your earthly father, this Father’s Day remember you have the perfect love of a heavenly Father.

Overcome Trial with Pastor Edwin Arellano
What is a Christian to do when faced with disappointment, disaster, and despair? Scripture teaches us that “all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose” (Romans 8:28). Yet when we encounter difficulties, we often wonder, Why? Searching for answers and learning to view “bad things” as “good things in disguise” are disciplines that God wants His children to develop as they mature spiritually. (See I Corinthians 2:14 and Romans 8:1–17.)

Lesson from the Parable of Talent with Pastor Wency Silvestre
The Parable might seem confusing at first, but it contains poignant life lessons for every Christian.
In the parable, a rich man gives his servants coins (or the equivalent in gold, depending on which version of the Bible you’re reading) to manage during the man’s absence. Each servant is given a different amount, according to their ability.
Those who had been given three and five doubled their amount. The rich man was pleased with their faithfulness and promised to entrust them with more. The man who was given one hid his out of fear. The rich man reprimanded him and gave his portion to the one who had gained the most.
The story is a wonderful example of how we are called to use God’s gifts for His glory and a sobering reminder of God’s expectations of His children.

Soul Winning with Rizza Silvestre
Not many Christian leaders use the language of “soul-winning” today. We hear a lot about making disciples, which of course is equally biblical and theologically sound terminology. After all, Jesus’ mandate for the church in the Great Commission was (and is) to “go … and make disciples” (Matt. 28:19).
