Activities from March 8-18

March 8, I preached in the radio program about "Right Gospel and Right Church". It is a continuation of the lesson I also preached in the radio before about "The Right Savior and the Right God". I first heard of this topic that was preached by brother Ron Halbrook during our lectureships the last time he was here. It is a good topic because it will really awaken those who are following the things they thought they knew the truth.

March 10, I should be going to Palca for home visitation again but friday night, brother Lino Quines, a brother at Palca calls on the phone and told me that many of them are working in the field right now because it is already time of harvest and if we will go to houses, we will not see anyone home. It is the only work of the people on that village that's why they will take the opportunity to do it before rain comes again.

March 11, in our service here at Metro Tuguegarao, I taught in the young peoples class that brother Jerome is doing when he is with us. Brother Rody, Jun and Jerome are in Mindoro at that time so I take his position in teaching them. I shared to them about "Marriage as a Big step". A good lesson that talks about what to look for a partner in life and the problems that may occur in marriage. Brother Jay taught in the bible study but it is the same time as the young peoples class so I didn't attend that part. In the sermon, brother Robert Rances, one of our elder, preached about "Blessings behind every condition". The lessons shows that in every conditions that God asked us to do, there is always a reward behind it.

In the afternoon at Palca, I preached to them about "Time to love and a time to hate". We should love God will everything and hate every false way.

March 13, we are still in the part of the "Seven Trumphets". It is really hard to study everything in the book of Revelation but with the unity of all of us, slowly, we are getting the point and the things we need to use to answer the doctrines of denominations.

March 14, in our midweek service, brother Reneboy taught to us about "Search the Truth". He started from the creation of man in God's image, followed by the devil's work in the world and the church that Jesus built.

March 13-17, I am working with all the videos that bro. Rody and his group recorded when they are in there preaching trip in Mindoro and Bulacan. It is about six videos and I need to edit everything that we could use in our TV program. It took me lot of working hours just to finished it and I am happy that when they played it in TV, it really looks nice and hopefully help many viewers understand the lessons.

March 18, in our service, brother Jun taught in our bible study about "The Rock and the Sand" on Matthew 7:21-27. A lesson showing that we need to build our foundation upon the rock which is Christ and not on the sand as the foolish man did with building his house. In the sermon, bro. Rody preached about "The Mosaical Period". He is showing that we are no longer living in that period and we are in the Christian age. In the audience was the presence also of the newly baptized brethren, they are Sister Celia Lim who is very well known here in Tuguegarao because of how wealthy they are together with her family and friends. Thanks to the effort of bro. Jimmy Battung who shared the gospel to them. Hopefully they will be worshiping with us every Sunday and please pray also for them.

In the afternoon, I preached the last part of the series of lesson on Different Seasons in Palca. The last was "Time of war and a time of peace". We, as christians are always at war with the invisible enemy which is the devil and we need to take the whole armor of God to have a good defense against his attacks. And we have peace after the battle in the nest life that God will give to all those who successfully fought the good fight of faith.
