Activities from November 27-December 18

November 27, in our midweek service, brother Rody preached on the “Summary of the Book of Matthew” as we already finished discussing every chapter of the book for the last eight months.

November 30, I went to Palca to visit sister Valentina Mabborang as she wanted that her two grandchildren who are already baptized into Christ to come back in the church because they are not attending the services for two months already. I discuss to them importance of attending services and to remain faithful to gain the reward from God on the last day.

December 1, in our Lord’s Day service here in Tuguegarao, brother Rody taught in our bible study about “Heed God’s Word”. And in the sermon, he showed to us the pictures he took when they visited the brethren at Visayas Region who are badly affected of the typhoon.

In the afternoon, at Palca, I preached to them about “Did God really mean that?” A lesson showing that, if God says something, will he really do that? As we all know, in the time of Noah, when He said, He will destroy man, He really did it and only eight souls who were righteous were saved.

December 3, in our preachers’ bible study, brother Joeben Jacobo taught to us “2 Corinthians 1” and in the afternoon, brother Edgar Licodini discusses the doctrine of the Baptist and some denominations about “TULIP”.

December 4, in our midweek service, brother Robert Rances taught “Mark 1”. We started the book of Mark and Lord willing, I will be discussing chapter 3 or 6 in the next studies.

December 7, I went again to Palca and have a home bible study at the house of sister Grace Daquioag. She is not yet a Christian but is attending the services for almost 2 to 3 months already. I preached to them about “The blessings of being a member of the Lord’s church”.

December 8, in our Lord’s Day service here at Tuguegarao, brother Jun taught in our bible study about the error of the Catholics which is “Inherited sin” and in the sermon, as requested by the elders of the congregation, I started to preached “The Nature of the church” and discuss the first lesson,
“The called out body”.

In the afternoon at Palca, I also preached the same lesson as I wanted them to understand more about the church and also for the visitors to hear the truth about the true church.

December 10, in our preachers’ bible study, brother Marcos Allib preached to us about “Are those who are outside of the church be saved?” He made a bible tract out of it and distributed to each one of us and according to him, he is also handing out this tract at Lacnog where he lives and preaching.

December 11, in our midweek service, instead of brother Flor, brother Jun taught because he in Tacloban for work and so we didn’t continue to study the book of Mark. Brother Jun then discuss “Romans 12:9-21”.

December 15, in our Lord’s Day service, brother Jun taught about “A Christian cannot sin so as to be eternally lost”. Another doctrine of a denomination saying that if you are already a christian, you will no longer fall which is not according to the teachings of Christ. In the sermon, I continued the lesson on the Nature of the church and this time, in the second part “Household of God”.

In the afternoon, at Palca, I also preached the same lesson but I added a lesson regarding “Error of Christmas”.

December 17, in our preachers’ bible study, brother Virgilio Bocarile discussed to us “The Book of Jude”.

December 18, in our midweek service, because brother Flor did not arrived yet, I stand to preach about “I will not believe unless”, the mindset that was in Thomas when the disciples told him the Jesus raised from the dead. Many today are like Thomas, who wanted to see signs, wonders, miracles, more than the scriptures to believe.
