In Trouble We Transform (2 Cor 4:16-18) | Ptr. Rein Arlegui, Aug 17, 2025

Encountering trouble is discouraging. It tempts us to give up and many fall away from God. But difficulty is a place to develop spiritually to move from groaning to glory.

1. Renewed Daily v.16

2. Rewarded Eternally v.17

3. Refocused on the Heavenly v.18

What troubles your heart recently? In what ways is God transforming you to deepen your trust and sustain your passion for serving Him?

Like A Well - Watered Garden (Isa 58:11-13) | Rev. Herman Moldez, Aug 10, 2025

How can we flourish in a sun-scorched land?

1. Spiritual Dryness

2. Spiritual Direction

3. Spiritual Discipline

"Lord, let my barren life burst with springs of love to thrive amidst trial and trouble."

Thrive Well (Sermon Series for August)

Thrive Well (August Sermon Series)

God made us to flourish, not just to survive. In Christ we receive an abundant life to transform amidst trouble, remaining sustained in struggle. God's grace enables us to thrive well.

We thrive in community. We flourish by being spiritually renewed to remain fresh in the weariness of living.

In thriving well, we flourish as we remain faithful, fruitful, and finish well.

Called To Flourish (Psalm 92:12-14)| Rev. Herman Moldez, Aug 3, 2025

We flourish, staying fresh and fruitful in having an intimate relationship with God. Spiritual life grows in experiencing the presence of God.

The church, God's people, is the dwelling place of the Holy Spirit. It is a place to flourish the righteous who are fruitful, and fresh in the ways of God. How?

1. Flourish in God's House

2. Fruitful in Old Age

3. Fresh in loving God

Think: How will you cultivate your church life to flourish like a palm tree and cedar of Lebanon?

Faithful Living In The Evil Days (2 Timothy 3:1-17) | Ptr. Rein Arlegui, July 20, 2025

The last days is a journey towards intense suffering and increasing evil. How do we navigate the polarities of good and bad days to remain faithful in our calling as saints in a sinful world? We are called to witness to the presence of the Kingdom while we contend against the evils of the last days.

1. Escape the Evil to vv.1-5

2. Discern the Deceit vv.6-9

3. Grasp the Good Work vv.10-17

In a world marked by evil, deception, and distraction, how are you intentionally shaping your life around God's truth to escape what corrupts, discern what misleads, and embrace the kind of faithfulness that equips you for every good work?

Partakers of the Kingdom (Col. 1:9-14) | Rev. Herman Moldez, July 20, 2025

In the first coming of Christ he inaugurated the promise of the Old Testament. The kingdom has already come while we keep praying for its consummation. We don't need to wait for the second coming of Christ to taste the first fruits of our salvation which are already available for us now.

God has set the banquet in the last days. Are you coming to enjoy the feast?

1. Pray to Discern God's Will

2. Practice Doing God's Will

3. Power to Do God's Will

"Lord, increase our appetite to partake of the feast in the banquet of Your Salvation".

Is the End Near? (Matthew 24:1-4) | Rev. Herman Moldez, July 13, 2025

For the last 2 millennia Christians have been asking and predicting about the time of Christ's return. We see the signs, yet but until now Jesus has not returned yet. How do we live in the nearness of the second coming without knowing when?

Many have predicted that the end is near yet more than 2 millennia have passed, but Jesus Christ has not returned. Why?

How do we live in the light of calamity and chaos moving to the end of the age?

1. Alert but not Alarmed

2. Faithful to the End

3. Proclaiming the Kingdom

How are you preparing for the end of the age to meet the Lord Jesus Christ?

"Lord, make us, your church as Christ's holy bride."

Living In The Last Days (Sermon Series)

As missiles with supersonics speed fly on the air between Iran and Israel, destroying each other, we wonder if the end is near.

We feel the chill in our bones. We feel anxious and afraid.

We can live confidently if we understand God's plan for the ages. It is important to respond in hope rather than feeling hopeless for the world breaking apart. As we watch the events of the last days before us, let us look from God's perspective.

Living in The Two Ages (Acts 2:17-21) | Rev. Herman Moldez, July 6, 2025

History is moving between the two ages: the last days and the end of this age to enter the glory of the age to come. Historical reality will be swallowed by heaven's eternity. The OT promise has been fulfilled in Christ. However, not in one event but in the two comings of Christ.

Every crisis in history raises an awareness of living in the last days. Yet, until now, the end of this age has not yet. Why?

1. Promise and Presence of The Future

2. Fulfillment and Fullness of The Future

3. Watch and Wait for The Future

In what ways will you open your life to the Holy Spirit to experience transformation in the last days?

"O God, even if the world falls apart, we are safe and secure in Your love in all eternity. Come, O Lord Jesus. Amen!"

The Treasure of the Kingdom (Matthew 13:44-46) | Ptr. Rein Arlegui, June 29, 2025

The Kingdom is a priceless treasure that a wise person will give up everything to own it. But only those who truly see what true wealth is to let go anything to have everything the Kingdom of God offers.

I. The Joy in the Kingdom

II. The Cost of the Kingdom

III. The Life for the Kingdom

What do you treasure most? For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also (Matthew 6:21). In the quiet spaces of life, may your heart be drawn not to the temporary, but to the everlasting treasure found in the Kingdom of God.
