Update on the works from January 24-29

January 24 - We continued to study the book of Revelation wherein we are now at Revelation 2:2-3:22 that is entitled "Jesus Amidst the Churches". Here we studied about the seven churches of Asia and saw whether or not they are strong enough to endure persecutions from that time and how we can handle also our persecutions this time.

January 25 - In our midweek service, we studied "Psalm 129 and Psalm 130" with the help of brother Jay Gumpad. He talk about the many times that the enemies they afflicted the writer which is said to be David and also the cry of David to the Lord for all his supplications.

January 29 - In our Sunday service here at Tuguegarao, we studied on "Ephesus:Examples of Obedience" that brother Jun Gumpad taught. He showed to us how they become Christians and why they become good examples for each one of us.In our sermon, brother Jerome Forelo preached to us about "While Men Slept" and he started the lesson by reading to us the Parable of the Tares. We need always to be awake because the Devil is like a roaring like seeking to devour us in anytime especially on our weakest moment.

In the afternoon, in Palca, I preached to them about "What Diseases Cannot do to us". I shared to them that even though our body is weak, it will not affect our spiritual lives, that even though it will often time takes the life of a man, it will not take the hope of eternal life within us if we strive to continue on our faith and always trusting in the Lord.
