A Believing HOPE

  Title: The Necessity of Believing! Text: James 1:6-8 Exhorter: Sister Nancy D. Macatbag   “But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt, because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind.” – James 1:6 When we say necessity, it means it is a requirement or essential. Just like a profession such as a carpenter who needs meter measurement and hammer for him to be able to do his job well. Likewise, as a Christian, follower, and servant of the Lord in the ministry He has entrusted in us, here are some of the reasons why there are necessities of believing in God. Believe in what He said in His word. In Isaiah 55:11, our God desires is that people will come to Him and be restored back into His grace and favor. He longs to bestow His righteous blessings upon His people, (obedient followers and servants of the Lord especially, those who are not yet in His presence). Our prayers have their own timetable. God knows everything we are experiencing

  Text: Deuteronomy 28:12 Exhorter: Sister Elizabeth Logan Deuteronomy 28:12 NIV “The LORD will open the heavens, the storehouse of his bounty, to send rain on your land in season and to bless all the work of your hands. You will lend to many nations but will borrow from none.” Deuteronomy 30:9-10 NIV “Then the LORD your God will make you most prosperous in all the work of your hands and in the fruit of your womb, the young of your livestock and the crops of your land. The LORD will again delight in you and make you prosperous, just as he delighted in your fathers, if you obey the LORD your God and keep his commands and decrees that are written in this Book of the Law and turn to the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul.” The Bible is full of God's promises and reminders of God's faithfulness. When things get hard, it's easy to focus on yourself and your hardships. The Chosen messenger through the life of Sister Elizabeth Logan taught us these three (3)

  Text: Luke 5:1-11 Exhorter: Bro. Noel Rivera Title: Availability for the Lord! Why is availability so important to God when he looks for people he can use? What’s the hardest thing for you to give up when considering whether to give God everything? The Chosen messenger, through the life of Brother Noel Rivera, had taught us on How to become always available for God. He taught us to become always be eager to listen to the word of God without excuses. You may think that you are quite familiar with the story of Samuel's call. We heard and talked about it many times in 1 Samuel 3. That God spoke to Samuel 3x and Samuel had the eagerness to listen to what God will say unto him. At this moment, are we also going to do the same? to have the eagerness to respond to the calling of God? In verse 2 of Luke 5, the Lord uses Simon’s boat. That boat symbolizes the platform that God had used in preaching His words to the people. And in this life, when God had placed us into the situation (be us

  Text: 1 TIMOTHY 4:12 By: Joe Ann Payne “Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and in purity”. God has called us to model Christianity for others As a Christian, we must lead and live by examples. We should be God pleaser & not man pleaser. Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart. 1. Speech (James 3:2). We all stumble in many ways. Anyone who is never at fault in what they say is perfect, able to keep their whole body in check. - This means our speech or words we utter. We must be very careful with our language - It might also refer to your understanding of the word of God. - we need to develop an inductive way to study the word. What does it say? What does it mean? What does it mean to me? What does it tell me about G
