Activities from October 20-November 10

October 20, in our Lord’s day service here at Metro Tuguegarao, the elders decided that only one will teach and  so brother Rody preached about “The Holy Bible” and talked also about thanksgiving because of sister Tessie’s birthday and the graduation of brother Teddy boy at college.

In the afternoon, at Palca, I preached about “The Parable of the ten virgins”. The main point of the lesson is preparation. Christians are like the ten virgins, some a wise wherein they diligently prepare themselves for the Lord’s coming and some are like the fools who knows that the Lord is coming but they are not prepared, they are even like the evil servant who says “my master is delaying his coming, and act accordingly (Mt. 24:48-49).

October 22, in our preachers’ bible study, brother Geronimo Ganela preached to us in the morning about “Studying the  Lord’s record” from the book of Genesis about marriage to Jesus coming. In the afternoon, he taught to us on “1 Corinthians 10” about the warnings from Israel’ history.

October 23, in our midweek service, I taught in our bible study about the lessons on “Matthew 25”, the “Parable of the ten virgins”, the “Parable of the talents” and the “Sheep and goats”.

October 25, I attended the gospel meeting at San Vicente, Tuao where brother Edwin Soriano and Alex Genilba preaches. Here are the speakers with their topics:

In the morning:

Brother Jerome Forelo – Salvation as planned by God

Brother Larry Guillermo – Receiving the good news

In the afternoon:

Brother Geronimo Ganela – New Testament Christianity

The brethren where edified not only of the lessons preached but also for seeing us coming from different places and gathering together in unity to study Gods’ word.

October 27, in our Lord’s day service here at Tuguegarao, brother Jun taught in our bible study about “Answering religious errors: Instrumental Music in worship”, and in the sermon brother Jerome preached about “The beginning of the Lord’s church”. This lessons were suggested by the elders to be studied as were written in the white booklet  entitle “The New testament Church”.

In the afternoon, at Palca, I preached to them about “What we need to show the world?”  We are to show them that they are lost and we want them to be saved. We are to show them the love of Christ as it is written in the holy bible. And we also need to show them the reality of eternity.

October 29, in our preachers’ bible study, brother Robert Pader taught about “1 Corinthians 11".

October 30, in our midweek bible study, brother Robert Rances took the place of brother Efren because he was not aware of his schedule to teach. He taught on “Matthew 27”, the repentance f Judas, Jesus before Pilate, the crucifixion, death and burial of Jesus.

November 3, in our Lord’s Day service here at Tuguegarao, brother Jun taught in our bible study about “Is one church as good as another?” and in the sermon, brother Jay preached “How can one become a Christian?”

In the afternoon, at Palca, I preached to them about “Remember Lot’s wife”. It is a very short verse, but has a powerful meaning. If we are already a Christian, we need not to turned back and look at the things we have left behind like our vices, what we do best, and what we are desiring but instead to deny ourselves, take up our cross and follow Jesus.

November 5, in our preachers’ bible study, brother Jaymark Ramirez is scheduled to teach the whole day but he is not around and from his text message he said that he forgot. Brother Efren Respicio taught on “1 Corinthians 12” about charity and how to show it.

November 6, in our midweek bible study, brother July Aguinaldo taught on “Matthew 28” about the resurrection of Christ until He preached about the great commission.

November 10, in our Lord’s Day service here at Tuguegarao, brother Jun taught about “What is in the name?” of the church and in the sermon, I preached about “How should we worship God?” This was all taken again from the booklet.

In the afternoon, at Palca, I preached to them the same lesson “How should we worship God?” I am very happy of our attendance because there are only few chairs that are empty. Our attendance is 52 including the children.
