Treasuring Christ PHPart 1: The Story of the Church as the People of GodTama ang sinabi ni Edmund Clowney, “The story of the church begins with Israel, the Old Testament people of God” (The Church, p. 28). So ang church ay hindi lang New Testament reality. Hindi rin ito bagong plano ng Diyos, o plan B ng Diyos. Ito ay nasa isip na ng Diyos mula sa Old Testament. Sabi ni apostle Peter sa church, “You are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession” (1 Pet. 2:9). Siksik ‘yan ng Old Testament references. Lalo na yung sinabi ng Diyos tungkol sa Israel noong nasa Mount Sinai na sila, “…yo...

Pero hindi ibig sabihin na ie-expect na natin na pagkatapos nun ay magiging maayos o smooth na ang lahat hanggang sa araw na kuhanin na tayo ng Panginoon. Hindi ibig sabihin na yung buhay ninyo ngayong nakay Cristo na—sa pamilya, sa marriage, sa finances, sa health, atpb.—ay magiging better compared sa buhay ninyo nung wala pa kayo kay Cristo. Alam naman nating posibleng hindi. At kung maka-experience man tayo ng mga difficulties, ‘wag din naman nating isipin na yung paggawa ng Diyos ay dun lang sa initial part ng salvat...

Pero sana tayong lahat ay naiintindihan natin kung ano ang ibig sabihin ng Christian. Na hindi lang tayo basta naniniwala na may Diyos, o relihiyoso tulad din ng iba. Kundi yung identity natin na nakakabit kay Cristo, kaya nga Christian, si Cristo ang nasa sentro, si Cristo ang lahat-lahat.

Sa episode na ito ng Church Matters, pag-uusapan natin kung bakit isang mahalagang role ng isang pastor ang pagiging "theologian." Akala natin pang-seminary o academic lang ang pagiging theologian. Merong mga mas popular na images ng pastor kaya natabunan na itong historical (and biblical!) role ng pastor as shepherd of the flock entrusted to his care.

Parang yung pangako ng Diyos ay contrary sa realidad. Ganun ang perception natin kasi ikinakahon natin ang pagkilos ng Diyos ayon sa sarili nating expectations, o ayon sa kalakaran ng mundo natin sa panahon ngayon. Pero ang katuparan ng pangako ng Diyos ay ayon sa sarili niyang panahon, ayon sa sarili niyang pamamaraan. Sa panahong itinakda ng Diyos, sa paraang itinakda ng Diyos. Mahirap maghintay.

Ang problema kasi sa atin dinadala natin sa Diyos ang mga karanasan natin sa relasyon natin sa ibang tao. Nakakalimutan nating ang Diyos ay hindi tao na tulad natin na may hangganan ang pagmamahal.

Pero, wag nating kalimutan na meron tayong mas malaking problema. Hindi yung sakit na nitong taon lang kumalat, kundi yung sakit na sa simula't simula pa ay nasa atin na. Hindi yung sakit na may posibilidad tayong mahawa, kundi yung sakit na nasa atin na. Ang tinutukoy ko ay walang iba kundi ang kasalanan. As Christians, paano natin lalabanan at papatayin ang mga natitira pang kasalanan sa buhay natin? Pakinggan ang sinasabi ni apostol Pablo sa Romans 8:12-13. Sermon notes here.

Treasuring Christ PHSermon: "The Spirit Dwells in You" (Rom. 8:9-11)"Simula nang tayo ay sumampalataya kay Cristo, nag-move-in na ang Espiritu para manirahan sa atin. Hindi para bumisita at magkape. Hindi para tumambay lang nang matagal-tagal. Hindi para mag-overnight lang. Hindi para mag-staycation lang. Hindi naman parang hotel ang puso natin. Itong katawan natin ang permanent residence niya."

2020-04-0113 minTreasuring Christ PHWalang Lockdown ang Word of GodKahit nakakulong sa bahay ang mga Christians, lalo na yung mga pastors and preachers, dahil sa coronavirus, di pa rin mapipigilan ang advancement of the gospel. Nangyari 'to sa life of the early church because of persecution. At pati ngayon, mangyayari pa rin because of God's commitment to fulfill his purposes in the preaching of his Word. Ang tanong, ano naman ang part natin dun?
2020-03-3112 minTreasuring Christ PHCoronavirus Pandemic and Our PrayersAno ang promise ni Lord pag nag-pray tayo?
“Call on me in a day of trouble; I will rescue you…” (Psa. 50:15 CSB). Ano ang ibig sabihin ng “rescue”? Ibig sabihin ba malalagpasan natin itong mga troubles na ‘to, o mawawala na, o kung magkasakit tayo gagaling tayo? Ganyan kasi ang promise according to those so-called prosperity gospel preachers. Pwede ngang pahintuin na ng Diyos itong paglaganap ng virus sa isang salita lang niya, pwedeng protected ka ni Lord at di ka magkakasakit. Pwedeng pag nagkasakit ka, pagagalingin ka niya. Pero hindi niya promise na ‘yan ang gagawin niya everytime na nagpray tayo.

Paano kung nangingibabaw ang takot? Yung sense of loss dahil namatayan ka o naloko sa negosyo? Paano kung dumadaan ka sa financial difficulties o problema sa relasyong mag-asawa o sa pagrerebelde ng anak mo? Paano kung malalim ang struggle mo sa kasalanan ngayon?

Treasuring Christ PHPart 3 – Singing and the Local ChurchAccording to Colossians 3:16 and Ephesians 5:19, ang congregational singing ay indispensable part ng pagiging Christian at mahalaga if we are to grow into maturity as a body of Christ. Multi-dimensional, vertical (we sing to God and God speaks to us) and horizontal (we sing to one another). And these truths have implications for how we sing every Sunday morning

Treasuring Christ PHGospel Awakening Session 6 – The Word of the Cross (Derick Parfan)The gospel is “of first importance.” It is our church’s central message and primary motivation. Why do we need to have greater confidence in the supremacy of Christ and the sufficiency of what he has done on the cross? In light of contemporary trends that diminish the importance of gospel preaching, how are we to continue embracing the foolishness of the cross? What must change in how we preach and minister to our people? What should we expect from God if we will continue to be faithful in gospel ministry, even when we don’t see immediate and quantifiable results?

Treasuring Christ PHGospel Awakening Session 5 – Christ in Me (Franco Ferrer)We are justified by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone.Why is faith the appropriate response to Christ’s finished work on the cross? What is “union with Christ” and why is this important in our understanding and living the Christian life? Why is faith not just our initial response, but also a day-to- day response to the gospel? In what ways do we manifest self-righteousness and self-reliance in living the Christian life and doing our ministries? How does the gospel serve as a corrective to our “fleshly” tendencies?

Treasuring Christ PHGospel Awakening Session 4 – The Heart of the Gospel (Jurem Ramos)Our desperate condition drives us toward the perfect righteousness of Christ as the only way for us to be right with God. Why is the law insufficient to provide us the righteousness required of us? What did Christ’s perfect obedience and his sacrificial death on the cross accomplish for us? What is meant by the biblical terms substitution, redemption, propitiation and justification, and why are they crucial in having a firm grasp of the gospel message?

Treasuring Christ PHGospel Awakening Session 3 – None is Righteous (Jurem Ramos)The center of the gospel is the death of Christ and the reason why He died is to deal with sin. Therefore, the proclamation of the gospel is incomplete without addressing the issue of sin. This means explaining that men and women are sinners and are therefore under the wrath of God is important if we want to present the gospel properly.

Why is a “God-entranced vision of all things” crucial for gospel awakening both in our individual lives and in our churches? How should this vision of God’s holiness motivate us in our own personal pursuit of holiness and in helping our churches progress in sanctification?
