PKA- Intro

 

PANIMULA

Isang pangkaraniwang araw ang nag-udyok sa akin na muling sumulat at sa pagkakataong ito ay mas naging malinaw ang dahilan at layunin ng gawain ito. Simula noong taon 2013, tinuruan ako ng aming manggagawa sa simbahan, isang diyakonesa, na magkaroon ng personal devotion sa pamamagitan ng pagbabasa ng Bibliya at pagkakaroon ng pagbubulay sa talatang nangusap sa akin. Sa pamamagitan nito, mas nakilala ko ang kadakilaan at kabutihan ng ating Diyos. At dagdag pa rito, nagkaroon ako ng interest sa pagsusulat. Mahigit isang dekada na ang lumipas ngayong taong 2025, habang ginagawa ko ang personal devotion o ang pagjojournal, nangusap ang Diyos sa akin. Naunawan ko na kahit pa sa pangkaraniwang araw, patuloy Siyang kumikilos at tumatawag sa lahat para maki-isa sa inihanda Niyang gawain para sa lahat. Sa pamamagitan ng “burning bush”, tinawag ng Diyos si Moises para matupad ang pagliligtas Niya sa mga Israelita sa Egipto (Exodos 3:1-10). Ngayon, ang natanggap kung mensahe sa Panginoon ay ang sumulat upang maipakilala ang Kanyang kabutihan at kadakilaan sa iba. Kaya naman, panalangin ko ang gabay ng Panginoon. “Ngunit ako, minabuti kong maging malapit sa Dios. Kayo, Panginoong Dios ang ginagawa kong kanlungan, upang maihayag ko ang lahat ng inyong mga ginawa (Salmo 73:28).”

Sermon: Jesus Christ, the Power and Wisdom of God

Scripture: 1 Corinthians 1:18-25 "As if you know everything." I still remember when I was in junior high school, that was the line of my English teacher every time the class was getting noisy,  and no one was listening to her. Can we assess ourselves if there’s a possibility that we can know everything? Is our knowledge or wisdom enough to help us and save us from all trials of this world? Can we rely on our knowledge or wisdom? Whom knowledge and wisdom do we seek and need? The message of our scripture in 1 Corinthians 1:18-25 is about Jesus Christ the power and wisdom of God.            1. We need the wisdom of God to be saved from the penalty of sin called death.    How can we assess if someone’s wisdom is worth believing?              In this modern world, there is a saying “to see is to believe.” Some might ask for evidence or rational reason to believe. Apostle Paul wrot...

In this Life, We've been blessed to be a blessing.

 Joy and overflowing grace are what I'm feeling right now.  I want to testify how generous and caring God is. It all began when I ask God to help me with everything I need. In particular, I ask God to help me in my studies. With Faith, I have received what I ask for in prayer. In my past experiences, I had applied for a scholarship many times and I did not get anything. At present, opportunities are gradually opening to me now. I have received educational assistance that is more than enough to support my study- God provides.  Today, our deaconess' song choice for Sunday Service is '' Blessed to be a blessing". Truthfully, we've been blessed to be a blessing. Everything that we have comes from above. All are from God. As we receive something, let thanksgiving be our first thing to do. The moment that I acknowledge God for what I have received, I have learned about giving back and sharing. As I said, God gives more than enough; it's overflowing. The joy that ...
