The Wonderful One | John 1:35-51 | Ps. Zuriel Bernardino

#theONEChristmasSeries

The Jewish people believe in the coming of the Anointed One - a prophesied Savior who will make all things right. When John the Baptist came, they thought it was him. But John the Baptist deflected and pointed them to the right one. 

Here is the second episode of The One Christmas series for this month of December. 

2020 has been a long and tough year, and a lot of our foundations have been shaken. We want to celebrate the season by looking at how John 1 introduces our Lord Jesus, who came to earth for us.

Here is the last episode of our November series - Addressing Mental Health from the Psalms: The Art and Discipline of Lament. By our special guest speaker, Ps. Nomer Bernardino. 

Psalm 63 was written in the desert/wilderness experience of David. He fears for his life, and has very low energy left. We find him bringing this experience to God, and we learn so much from his openness and vulnerability.

Psalm 13 documents the transition from turmoil to trust in the psalmist’s life. He experienced a long silence from the Lord and even gloating from his enemies. We find wonderful transition though as the psalmist puts his faith in the Lord. This is a good example of trust in God overcoming feelings.

Here is the second sermon in the series Addressing Mental Health from the Psalms: The Art and Discipline of Lament. 

Psalm 6 is also considered a Psalm of penitence. It was written when David, aware of sin, is coming to the lord for his mercy and renewal. In a religious culture, sinning often times leads people to be judged/feel judged and therefore leaving the church. This should not be the case. We learn from this Psalm how to handle it, and the best way is to come to god with our guilt and honesty.

Last Sunday we culminated our TULIP in the Wilderness series with a special Reformation Sunday message by Pastor Aldrin Teresa.
