Church of Christ at Imus Sunday Messages

Ever since we are a child, we've heard a lot of stories from the bible. For you, What is the Greatest Story in the bible?

In a world with no idea who the real Jesus is, In a world with no idea what the real message of Christianity is,

In a world with no idea what the good news of the gospel is, The book of Acts is a constant reminder;

That you and I “Can’t just sit there.”

Reaching people for Jesus requires action!

Would you dare to fail?

Failing or Failure is what most people fear. Success is what everyone is striving to achieve, but on your way to triumph you will encounter difficulties and challenges that will either make you fail or make you strive harder.

Everyone has experienced failing, when we fail we gain. We gain knowledge, experience and more. Failing isn't that bad.

Prayer is a time we can draw near to God. A time we can spend talking with and concentrating all of our thoughts upon God.  In these moments of quietness, where the only presence other than ours is God’s, we learn how to hear and respond to his will.

A company of praying people is a company of people equally dependent on God. But we also come to prayer with equally good help. The most eloquent spiritual giant and the most timid new believer can pray boldly together because Jesus prays for them both.

Witnessing doesn't have to be a daunting prospect, because there are so many different ways that we can do it.

It's comforting to know that we can be a witness in more ways than one. Aside from the reason of wanting other people to know the same peace, joy and love that comes with a relationship with Christ, sharing the gospel and our testimonies is what we're explicitly called to do. The act of sharing our faith isn't just for the benefit of non-believers, other Christians can be motivated by our attitude too.

When people linger, they think of things that forbid them to go to or do the things that they are supposed to. When people linger, there's always something or someone who is the reason for being reluctant to leave.

"Enter the ark, you and all your household for I have seen that you alone are righteous before me in this generation."

In our world today, would you choose to be righteous or unrighteous?

Just look at the ark as heaven. With your household you will enter heaven because you are righteous. Come to him and you will be saved. He has a place for each and every one of us. He has planned everything for us. The only thinh you need to do is come to him.

Ever wondered why, what you always prayed sometimes end up not being given to you?

There are list of things that we always wanted. We prayed and strived hard to achieve those but there are times that it isn't given to us.

Do not be worried, do not lose faith. Our God has always the greatest plan for us. Maybe what you want was not meant for you because you deserve something bigger than that. Or maybe the time isn't just perfect.

14 For Christ’s love compels us, because we are convinced that one died for all, and therefore all died. 15 And he died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for him who died for them and was raised again.

16 So from now on we regard no one from a worldly point of view. Though we once regarded Christ in this way, we do so no longer. 17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come:[a] The old has gone, the new is here! 18 All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: 19 that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting people’s sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation. 20 We are therefore Christ’s ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ’s behalf: Be reconciled to God. 21 God made him who had no sin to be sin[b] for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God. - 2 Corinthians 5:14-21

31Makinig ka! Ikaw ay maglilihi at manganganak ng isang sanggol na lalaki, at siya'y papangalanan mong Jesus. 32Siya'y magiging dakila at tatawaging Anak ng Kataas-taasang Diyos. Ibibigay sa kanya ng Panginoong Diyos ang trono ng kanyang amang si David upang 33maghari sa angkan ni Jacob magpakailanman. Ang kanyang paghahari ay pangwalang hanggan.” - LUKE 1:31-33

When Jesus was born, King Herod sent 3 wise men to investigate and gather information just to kill Him. But eventually, his plan did not happen and His mission to save us still prevail.

Just like today, because of the situations we are experiencing this year, we may not feel the Christmas spirit at all. We might think that today is not the right time to celebrate. But remember that Jesus still lives despite of the challenges they faced even before He was born.
