Gaano man kahirap sa ngayon to make a stand about this issue on male headship and female submission, we must make sure na hindi tayo driven by our emotions, or influenced by secular culture, or mag-adjust to gain acceptance sa society. We must be driven and shaped by the Word of God.

Headship and Submission in the Local Church (1 Cor. 11:2-16)

Paano kung dumadaan ka sa “valley of the shadow of death” (Psa. 23:4 ESV), “darkest valley” (CSB) ng buhay mo, paano ka nga naman makakaawit tulad ni David? Paano kung nangingibabaw ang takot? Yung sense of loss dahil namatayan ka o naloko sa negosyo? Paano kung dumadaan ka sa financial difficulties o problema sa relasyong mag-asawa o sa pagrerebelde ng anak mo? Paano kung malalim ang struggle mo sa kasalanan ngayon?

Part 4 – Singing When Life is Hard

According to Colossians 3:16 and Ephesians 5:19, ang congregational singing ay indispensable part ng pagiging Christian at mahalaga if we are to grow into maturity as a body of Christ. Multi-dimensional, vertical (we sing to God and God speaks to us) and horizontal (we sing to one another). And these truths have implications for how we sing every Sunday morning

Part 3 – Singing and the Local Church

Meron tayong singing problem, kasi meron tayong worship problem. At kung meron tayong worship problem, meron tayong heart problem. The whole Story of God is the story of God redeeming his people - to be a singing people for him.

Part 2 – Singing and the Gospel

We have to spend time to talk about congregational singing. We spend about 25-30 minutes of our worship service in singing. The rest is prayer, Scripture reading, and sermon. But we seldom take time to reflect why we sing and why it matters.

Part 1 – Singing and the Glory of God

The gospel is “of first importance.” It is our church’s central message and primary motivation. Why do we need to have greater confidence in the supremacy of Christ and the sufficiency of what he has done on the cross? In light of contemporary trends that diminish the importance of gospel preaching, how are we to continue embracing the foolishness of the cross? What must change in how we preach and minister to our people? What should we expect from God if we will continue to be faithful in gospel ministry, even when we don’t see immediate and quantifiable results?

Gospel Awakening Session 6 – The Word of the Cross (Derick Parfan)

We are justified by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone.Why is faith the appropriate response to Christ’s finished work on the cross? What is “union with Christ” and why is this important in our understanding and living the Christian life? Why is faith not just our initial response, but also a day-to- day response to the gospel? In what ways do we manifest self-righteousness and self-reliance in living the Christian life and doing our ministries? How does the gospel serve as a corrective to our “fleshly” tendencies?

Gospel Awakening Session 5 – Christ in Me (Franco Ferrer)

Our desperate condition drives us toward the perfect righteousness of Christ as the only way for us to be right with God. Why is the law insufficient to provide us the righteousness required of us? What did Christ’s perfect obedience and his sacrificial death on the cross accomplish for us? What is meant by the biblical terms substitution, redemption, propitiation and justification, and why are they crucial in having a firm grasp of the gospel message?

Gospel Awakening Session 4 – The Heart of the Gospel (Jurem Ramos)

The center of the gospel is the death of Christ and the reason why He died is to deal with sin. Therefore, the proclamation of the gospel is incomplete without addressing the issue of sin. This means explaining that men and women are sinners and are therefore under the wrath of God is important if we want to present the gospel properly.

Gospel Awakening Session 3 – None is Righteous (Jurem Ramos)

A rediscovery of the gospel begins with a vision of the holiness of God. What does it mean for God to be holy? Why is a “God-entranced vision of all things” crucial for gospel awakening both in our individual lives and in our churches? How should this vision of God’s holiness motivate us in our own personal pursuit of holiness and in helping our churches progress in sanctification?

Gospel Awakening Session 2 – Holy, Holy, Holy (Eric Hernandez)

To serve us, to glorify God - 'yan ang life mission ng Panginoong Jesus. At tayo rin na sinasabing tagasunod niya, yun din ang life mission natin, hindi pwedeng iba, hindi pwedeng to serve ourselves, to glorify ourselves, but to serve others, to glorify God. Jesus came and lived a perfectly righteous life, and died and rose again para ano? To rescue us from ourselves so that we may live for others and for God.

Everything for God's Glory (1 Cor. 10:23-11:1)

In what ways is the gospel denied, distorted or minimized in our churches today? Why is it urgent that we have a right view of the gospel? What is at stake here? What is the gospel? Why do pastors and church leaders have a solemn obligation to proclaim and protect it?

Gospel Awakening Session 1 – No Other Gospel (Jurem Ramos)

"Flee from idolatry" (1 Cor. 10:14). Run, run away as quick as you can, without hesitation. Responsibility natin 'yan. Kapag may temptation, hindi mo kakantahan 'yan, "O tukso layuan mo ako." No, ikaw ang lalayo at kakaripas ng takbo palayo sa tukso.

Flee from Idolatry (1 Cor. 10:14-22)

God does not give us trials dahil bilib siya sa atin. Kundi para tayo ang bumilib sa kanya. Meron naman kasing mga temptations na di natin kinakaya. Ilang beses na tayong bumagsak. But the good news for us, we don't have to fall. Kasi merong Diyos na tumutulong sa atin kahit sa mga panahong parang wala nang pag-asa.

In Times of Temptation (1 Cor. 10:1-13)

We must be willing to lose something big in order to win something bigger. Meron siyang binanggit sa 1 Cor. 9:19-27 na dalawang malaking bagay na handa siyang mawala sa kanya para makamtan niya ang dalawang bagay na higit na mas mahalaga.

Losing Big for Something Bigger (1 Cor. 9:19-27)
