Pilgrim Stories Podcast

"Life is easy . Life is without pain and sufferings" are the words I wish I could encourage you with today. Let us be honest; when we go through life struggles, we sometimes feel and say, "God, where are you? On today's episode, I will continue my Hebrews sermon series starting from Hebrews 1:10-14. The author wrote this letter to three groups of Hebrews. However, one of the things I found interesting was how the group of young believers were persecuted by their fellowmen because of their newly found faith. Some of them were kicked around, humiliated in public, and worse, their possessions were taken away from them. In this letter, the author encouraged them to held on to Jesus, for Christ and their salvation in Him are their true treasure that no one can take away. I hope you'll find encouragement from this episode.LINKS☕️ Buy Me A Coffee https://buymeacoffee.com/pilgrimstoriespodcastInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/pilgrim_stories/Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/pilgrimagestoriesApple Podcastpodcasts.apple.com/jp/podcast/pilgrim-stories-podcast/id1524800611Spotify:open.spotify.com/show/6bKfMPQ9xnz4p60Rj1DSel

Have you ever asked a question, “Can true Christians still lose their salvation?” Did Christ die for past, present also future sins? 

When I first became a Christian, I was taught in my previous church that salvation is in our hands. In other words, the assurance of our salvation depends upon our strong grip to it. Therefore, I was that it is through means of obedience can a person maintain his salvation. When I moved to my current church, I found peace learning from the pages of the Bible that salvation is assured in Christ and His ONCE AND FOR ALL sacrifice on the cross. Salvation not through the obedience fallen and imperfect man but rather in the strength of the obedience of the perfect man-God Jesus. And in this peace, I found a new sense of hope and dedication living a life pleasing to God.

On this episode, I lovingly and mindfully shared my reaction to a video regarding  salvation. I worked hard and poured my love on creating this video and I hope that the Lord would use it to encourage you and stir your hope and joy in Jesus, our Savior, even more. 

God bless you!

No human leader of a country is perfect. Even though God has established the government that Christians are called to be subjected to; the truth is, we sometimes find ourselves in a dilemma when we see immoral leaders within the administration. In the Philippines, for example, people rallied against the government because of corrupt officials who stole billions of pesos for flood prevention projects. The 10th president of the Philippines, Ferdinand Marcos, was estimated to have stolen 10 billion pesos of the country’s public funds. Not only we hear of such corrupt officials, but we also hear of church leaders abusing their authority and some of them have been involved in adulterous relationships. On this episode, I would like to continue my Hebrews sermon series and encourage you as to why Jesus is better than the kings of the Old Testament.Also, I have started an online tip jar called Buymeacoffee. The link is in the BIO. There has been a lot of negative media online these days. My desire on this podcast is to create quality, meaningful, and God-honoring content for you in the future. Thank you!

When I was in the Philippines and would attend a Catholic church, I remember there were many saints that we had to honor and mention in our prayers. Holy Week was big event because houses near the church would represent a statue of a saint for the Holy Week procession night. During the procession, we would enjoy a display of statues of the Apostle dressed in fine clothing being carried or pulled by people. Though there was an atmosphere of religiosity at the event, the main thing I enjoyed was saying hi to my high school friends – that included teasing them.
Inside the Catholic church, even though there was the statue of the crucified Jesus, part of our doctrine was the worship inclusion of the 12 Apostles and Mary the mother of Jesus. I remember growing up believing that the handkerchief that I wiped on St. Peter’s statue would bring comfort on my grandmother’s aching body. I also remember that there were many requirements to be forgiven of sins. Jesus had the title, “the Savior,” yet we also had to confess our sins to the priest in a confession booth, pray our rosary walking on our knees in the church, and pray in the name of the St. Peter and Mary, the mother of Jesus. I even saw people flagellating themselves during Holy Week. Angels were also revered because we saw them as protector – kind of like a bodyguard.
On this message episode, I'd to share why I found Jesus than being in the former traditions of my catholic faith.

As I was studying the book of Hebrews, it reminded me of the time when 12 Coptic Christians and one Ghanic Christian kidnapped in the city of Sirte in Libya. Through chilling videos, the terrorists displayed their domination and instilled fear not only to the people of Libya, but also to the people around the world. On February 15, 2015, the terrorists marched the Christians martyrs on the beaches of Libya to be beheaded. Minutes before the beheading, the martyrs were given a chance to denounce Jesus. While kneeling waiting for their final hours, they chose the better One, Jesus and life eternal with Him. On today's episode, I want to share why life with is better than the passing pleasures of sin.

Have you asked the question, "How can we find Jesus in the Old Testament? Like myself, I know all us have had had a difficult time seeing the Messiah in the pages of the Old Testament. On this episode, I hope to share my sermon regarding the revelation of the Messiah in the Old Testament. I hope this episode would encourage you.

Have you even asked the question, “Where is the true burial site of Jesus?” Honesty, whenever I think about the question, I would get confused because there would be a lot of information to consider that would pop up in my head. Therefore, I would never really bother entertaining the question. However, I would feel disingenuous while believing that Jesus rose from the dead, I would, at the same, still a little unsure about the place where He rose. Therefore, I had to dive a little deeper into research about it. Therefore, on today’s episode, I hope to share my research and to encourage about it. For the truth of the resurrected Savior is our hope in this life and the life to come. A pastor once said, “the greatest tragedy that could ever happen in a man’s life is a life without hope.”

How can we know that the resurrection of Jesus is true? As Christians, our difference from other religion that the One that we follow has risen from the dead. It is not a myth nor a legend and it can be proven historically. When the Apostles had seen the risen Christ, they became bold with their faith. The teachings of these uneducated men were the foundations of the early Christian church and is now being studied by scholars. Because Christ rose on the third day, I, too, am hopeful and confident that one day, I will have an eternal resurrected body. For the promise of the resurrection stood, so as our future promise of heaven with Christ will. And this assurance is our motivation in this life to live a life like citizens of heaven already while here on earth, causing us to make wise use of time, money and energy. I know all us have asked, “how to we know that the resurrection is true? On top of that how do we know that the NT is even reliable where the the truth of resurrection is written?I would like to engage with arguments against NT reliability and provide answers that supports the NT its sufficiency and trustworthiness. For we if we can answers in the Scriptures, and teachings in agreement with the Scriptures it sharpens, not only mentally, but also spiritually. They bolster our faith in our walk with God.
