Guest Minister: Alicia Vaz

Summary:

After 25 years of marriage, Alicia learned that the greatest threat to marital unions isn't external circumstances, busy schedules, or even major disagreements; it's the slow drift that happens when we stop tending to the condition of our own hearts. This message explores how maintaining a soft, humble, and faith-centered heart is the foundation for a thriving marriage, even through seasons of ups and downs.

Scriptures:

Proverbs 4:23 - "Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it."

Matthew 6:21 - "For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also."

Ephesians 4:26-27 - "In your anger do not sin: Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry, and do not give the devil a foothold."

1 Corinthians 13:4-7 - The definition of love (reference point)

Mark 10:9 - "Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate."

Guest Minister: Lola Salvador Daily Study: Lola draws on her upcoming Christian fiction novel, exploring the real and often painful journey of forgiveness within marriage. Through the story of a celebrated athlete whose private heartbreak becomes painfully public, we're invited to confront the deeper question every couple must face: How do you forgive when trust has been broken? Grounded in Scripture and word study, this message reveals the biblical depth of forgiveness—not just as letting go of offense, but as extending grace that mirrors God's own mercy. It's a redemptive reflection on love, healing, and the transforming presence of Jesus, who meets us in our brokenness and makes restoration possible.

Scriptures:

Matthew 6:14-15 (ESV) - Establishes forgiveness as a divine command tied to spiritual freedom. Colossians 3:13 (NIV) - Defines forgiveness as imitation of God's mercy, not emotion. Hosea 3:1 (NIV) - A vivid image of covenant love that endures betrayal Psalm 34:18 (NLT) - Brings tenderness and comfort

Daily Study: Jesus encourages us to persist in prayer, repeating our requests with faith until we receive an answer. Through His teachings and parables, such as the persistent widow and the friend at midnight, Jesus shows that consistent, unwavering prayer reflects our trust in God and opens the door for His response in His perfect timing.

Daily Study: Jesus taught that prayer is not about public display or empty repetition but about sincere communion with God. True prayer is done privately, from the heart, with faith that the Father already knows our needs. Unlike pagans who rely on long or repetitive chants, believers are called to approach God with reverence and simplicity. Jesus provided a model through the Lord's Prayer, focusing on honoring God, seeking His will, daily dependence, forgiveness, and spiritual protection. Forgiveness remains central—our prayers and relationship with God are tied to our willingness to forgive others.

Revelation Series:

Revelation 13 and 14 reveal Satan's final attempt to counterfeit God's authority and deceive the world. The dragon (Satan) empowers the beast (Antichrist) to rule the earth, gaining global worship through blasphemy, false miracles, and a counterfeit resurrection. The second beast acts as his prophet, enforcing idolatry through an image of the Antichrist and requiring all people to receive a mark on their hand or forehead—an imitation of God's seal on His followers—connecting worship with economic control. In contrast, the 144,000 sealed servants of God are shown pure, faithful, and redeemed in heaven, representing the firstfruits of the harvest. During the tribulation, angels proclaim a final gospel urging all to fear and worship God, warning that those who take the mark will face eternal wrath. Despite immense persecution, believers are called to endure faithfully, even unto death, which God counts as blessed. The chapter concludes with the harvest of the earth—Jesus gathers the righteous while the wicked are cast into the winepress of God's wrath—marking the ultimate separation between those who belong to Christ and those who follow the beast.

Daily Study: Have you been praying for success in business but it seems like your prayers are not being answered? If so and you're married, then check the state of your marriage. You see, the Word of God teaches us that if our marriages are in disrepair, that will hinder our prayers. This means that there is a direct connection between the success of your marriage and your business success.

Daily Study: As parents, we have to be mindful not to leave a vision for our children. God has called us to leave an inheritance for them, but not a vision. We can become so excited and passionate about our calling that we want our children to work with us and eventually take over from us. However, this is very dangerous because we could be hindering the calling God has given them by placing our calling on them.

Daily Study: Submission in many households is a bad word, but it is a word God loves. We may be familiar with it in the context of wives submitting to their husbands. However, this word also applies to our businesses. If you are married (husband or wife), God expects us to submit our business to our spouse.
