  1. Life Transition // Pastor Zuriel Jacob Fermin

    FEB 9

    Life Transition // Pastor Zuriel Jacob Fermin

    Life is full of transitions—and many people are not prepared for them. While change is inevitable, growth is always a choice. In this message, Pastor Zuriel Jacob Fermin reminds us that seasons of transition are not meant to replace us, but to refine us.Preaching from Deuteronomy 8, this message teaches that God uses transitions to shape our hearts, deepen our dependence on Him, and remind us of His faithfulness. Discipline, testing, and even delays are not signs of God’s absence but evidence of His loving work in our lives.We are reminded that:• Obedience to God is not restrictive, but life-giving• Blessings become burdens when the heart is misaligned• Refinement often comes before expansion• God humbles us, but He never abandons us• Saving grace brings us to Christ, while sustaining grace keeps us through every seasonThis message also calls believers to maintain reverence for God, humility in seasons of increase, and gratitude even in times of testing. True respect for God begins in the heart and flows outward into how we live, worship, and respond to Him.As we enter new seasons, this message invites us to do three things:1. Remember God2. Recognize His work3. Rest in His sovereigntyBe encouraged to trust the Lord in every transition—because the same God who brings you into a new season is the God who will sustain you through it.

  2. Happy No Year Part 3: Not By Might

    JAN 24

    Happy No Year Part 3: Not By Might

    In the third installment of the Happy No Year series, Pastor Darwin Cuadro teaches a powerful lesson from Genesis 27 through the life of Jacob: that God’s promises are not fulfilled by human force, manipulation, or self-effort—but by the Spirit of God. “Not By Might” confronts the tendency to force outcomes, rush God’s timing, or rely on human ability. Through Jacob’s story, we are reminded that living by might often leads to striving, deception, and self-sufficiency. Scripture shows that what God intends to grow does not need to be forced—it needs space for God to work. The message contrasts a life lived by the flesh versus a life led by the Spirit (Galatians 5), calling believers to shift from force to faith, from confidence in self to dependence on God. As Jacob’s journey unfolds—from deception to Bethel, from fear to faith—we see how God transforms a man who once relied on might into someone who learns to walk by grace and trust in God’s power. This message reminds us that: • We give, serve, and believe by faith, not by force • What we have and who we are is ultimately because of God’s grace • God’s power is made available in our altar times—through prayer, worship, and intimacy with Him As Zechariah 4:6 declares, “Not by might, nor by power, but by My Spirit,” says the Lord. Be encouraged to examine your own journey: Are you forcing things—or trusting God to work in His time and power? #HappyNoYear #NotByMight #ByTheSpirit #GTCSundayService #WhereLivesChange

  3. Happy No Year Part 2: Not By Fright // Pastor Rafy Panlilio

    JAN 12

    Happy No Year Part 2: Not By Fright // Pastor Rafy Panlilio

    Grace Testament Church continues the “Happy No Year” series with the message “Not by Fright,” anchored on Genesis 26:23–25. This message reminds us that while saying “no” often sounds negative, learning to say no to fear is one of the most freeing decisions we can make.   The Bible repeatedly calls God’s people to live without fea —“fear not” appears throughout Scripture—because fear does not come from God. From Joshua 1:9 to 2 Timothy 1:7, we are reminded that the Lord gives us not a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control. God calls His people to live not by fright, but by trust.   Through the life of Isaac in Genesis 26, this message shows how fear can drive people away from God’s promises—whether fear of crisis or fear of people. Yet when Isaac chose totrust the Lord instead of being led by fear, God protected him, provided for him, and reaffirmed His covenant. The message also points us to the greater covenant we now have in Christ, where believers are no longer slaves to fear but children of God who can call Him Abba, Father (Romans 8:15).   This message challenges us to examine what controls our decisions: fear or faith. As we start the year, God invites us to build our lives like Isaac did—placing the altar before the tent, prioritizing our relationship with Him above all else.   Be encouraged to say no to fear and yes to trusting God, not only this year but in every season of life.   #HappyNoYear #NotByFright #LiveByFaith #FearNot #GTCSundayService #WhereLivesChange

  4. Christ In You Part 3 // Pastor Rafy Panlilio

    Christ In You Part 3 // Pastor Rafy Panlilio

    Christ In You Part 3 // Pastor Rafy PanlilioDecember 21, 2025Matthew 1:21–25; Colossians 1:27–29Christmas reminds us that Jesus is Immanuel—God with us. But the Gospel does not stop there. In Christ In You Part 3, we are reminded that while Jesus was with us in the flesh for a season, God’s greater purpose is that Christ now lives in us.Anchored on Colossians 1:27–29, this message explains how Christ in you is not just a truth to believe but a power to experience—both in serving and in living.First, Christ in you gives you the power to serve. God calls every believer to serve, but never in our own strength. Ministry requires toil and perseverance, yet Scripture reminds us that it is God’s power at work within us that sustains our service. As we commit ourselves to God’s purpose, He supplies the strength we do not have (Zechariah 4:6; 1 Corinthians 15:9–10).Second, Christ in you gives you the power to live. Life is filled with changing seasons—plenty and lack, joy and hardship. When Christ reigns within us, we gain inner strength that allows us to remain content, faithful, and loving in every circumstance (Philippians 4:12–13; Ephesians 3:14–21). His power within us enables us not only to endure life but to reflect His love to others.This message challenges us to move beyond seeing Jesus only in the manger and to allow Him to become the Lord and Manager of our lives. When Christ truly dwells in us, His power is evident—in our service, our endurance, and the way we live every day.Watch it in 4K on our official YouTube Channel: https://youtu.be/FXRcG_KnjAM#ChristInYou#GTCSundayService#WhereLivesChange
