    Meek, Not Weak Series

    Contributed by Eyriche Cortez on Jun 23, 2007
    based on 18 ratings
     | 27,614 views

    A meek person is Christlike, humble, gentle and patient.

    People tend to equate “meekness” with “weakness.” We see a meek person as more of a gaunt man rather than a muscleman. In fact, in MS Word, when I right-clicked the word “meek” and searched for its synonyms, one of them is “timid.” When Jesus declared, “Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit ...read more

    The leader’s responsibility is to bring out the best in people.

    Allow me to thank all of you who lovingly prayed that my surgery would be successful. Thank you also for helping us one way or the other. Our family felt so encouraged. I remember some of you assuring me not to worry for they will take care of the church. Those are words that pastors would love to ...read more

    The laity’s response is to build up the body with the lasting result that it will be united and mature.

    In relationships such as the corporate world or the married life, it is important to be clear on our expectations. God made it very clear what He expects from us. Let us read Ephesians 4:11-13. “It was he who gave some to be apostles, some to be prophets, some to be evangelists, and some to be ...read more

    Laying It On The Line... Again

    Never give up. Always give it all.

    Let us read John 21:15-19. “When they had finished breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, ‘Simon, son of John, do you love me more than these?’ He said to him, ‘Yes, Lord; you know that I love you.’ He said to him, ‘Feed my lambs.’ He said to him a second time, ‘Simon, son of John, do you love me?’ ...read more

    We are to accept one another in Christ

    I believe most of us are young enough to remember Karen Carpenter. One of her well-loved songs is “Love Me For What I Am.” The chorus goes like this: “You’ve got to love me / For what I am / For simply being me / Don’t love me / For what you intend / Or hope that I will be.”[1] It seems to me ...read more

    To accept one another, we are to concentrate on the essentials.

    Last Good Friday, nineteen men were crucified in San Pedro Cutud, Pampanga. This Easter crucifixion tradition is “an extreme form of penance”[1] or trying to cleanse oneself from sin. It is good that the Roman Catholic Church expressed disapproval to the practice. According to a priest, “The church ...read more

    To accept one another, we are to concede differences.

    Have you ever tried ordering water in the restaurant nowadays? First, the waiter asks, “Hot or cold water?” Let us say you chose cold water. He then asks, “Tap water or bottled water?” Okay, bottled water. “Mineral, alkaline, ionized, carbonated, flavored, purified or distilled?” So much to choose ...read more

    The Focus Of A Successful Church

    Contributed by Eyriche Cortez on Jan 11, 2014
     | 9,374 views

    To really succeed as a church, we must focus on God’s standards. First, we focus on one message. Second, we must focus on one ministry. Finally, we must focus on one mission.

    I read about a guy who saw a building with a signboard “Church on a grill.” He got so curious that entered the building and, lo and behold, it was a steakhouse. He ordered premium steak and, in fairness, it was delicious. But he could not help but ask the waiter why the place is called ...read more

    What Leaders Are Called To Do

    Contributed by Eyriche Cortez on Jan 11, 2014
     | 9,833 views

    Leaders are equippers. It requires hard work. It renders our work to become more effective. It rests on teaching the word of God.

    One of the most thought-­‐provoking articles I’ve read lately is “8 Reasons Most Churches Never Break the 200 Attendance Mark.”1 Now the author Carey Nieuwhof is not saying that it is a sin to be a small church. He just analyzed why it stays small. Nieuwhof clarifies that ...read more

    The first purpose of spiritual growth is that we become fruitful and effective.

    Open your Bibles in 2 Peter 1:8-11. “For if these qualities are yours and are increasing, they keep you from being ineffective or unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. For whoever lacks these qualities is so nearsighted that he is blind, having forgotten that he was cleansed from ...read more

    The second purpose of spiritual growth is that we become focused and not forgetful.

    I remember the first time I had to wear corrective lenses when I was in college. Before that, I have always assumed that my eyesight is normal. I noticed that I have trouble seeing things from afar. But I just thought that the reason why I could not clearly see things from a distance was because ...read more

    The third purpose of spiritual growth is that it gives us firm footing.

    There are two reasons why we wear shoes. One is function, the other is fashion. Of course, there are shoes with a mix of both. But, every pair of shoes has a number one reason for being. Now, I will show pictures of shoes and you tell me whether it is for function or for fashion. [Show the shoes ...read more

    The fourth reason of spiritual growth is that we will finish well.

    Usually March is the month of graduations. It reminds me of what someone wrote, “It is important to start right, but it is imperative to end well.” Sadly, many people start well but end poorly. However, I don’t want my life to end that way. I believe most if not all of us would like to finish well. ...read more

    The Double Portion

    Contributed by Perry James on Nov 22, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,530 views

    There is so much that we can draw from the lives of Elijah and Elisha. I think something that is echoed throughout is how we need to be ready to work for God as Christians. We reap what we sow, and I believe these 2 men lived that out.

    *(I do want to add at the beginning here, I did not read all of the scriptures that are in this, I just like to list my references in my notes so that I can better go over the story with the congregation. I also shortened some of the stories as needed.)* Hello, how is everyone? I have been ...read more

    The Call To Holiness

    Contributed by Ian Hyde on Mar 26, 2019
    based on 2 ratings
     | 6,024 views

    The call to holiness is one which we all share. But none of us are called because we are good enough. In fact, by our own efforts none of us could ever be good enough. And yet each of us is called to a purpose greater than any of us could imagine.

    A Strange Encounter Imagine for a moment a young woman waking early, just before dawn to begin her daily chores. Still groggy with sleep though the morning is cold and quiet, she feeds the animals, and gathers water for the day’s washing. As she fills her bucket at the well, she imagines the life ...read more
