The series continues with a question Jesus asked, "Why Are You Crying?" a question directed to Mary Magdalene on Resurrection Sunday. This week, Pastor Joy reminded us that in this world we will have troubles, trials, and sadness. It is unevitable, but we have Jesus, our victorious God who cares for us.

We are not defenseless, and we are not alone. Jesus knows, and he cares. It doesn’t matter what the temptation is, what the struggle is, we can go to Him, pray to Him, and cry to Him.

The power of Christ is at work within us to overcome the enemy that drags us down. Because He lives, we will also live. This is the word and promise of the living Christ. Every sorrow that we face will one day be turned to joy. So we should fight and not give up because we have Jesus, a powerful living Lord.

This week Pastor Jojo continued the series with the question Jesus asked "What Do You Want Me to Do For You?" Jesus asked this question to a blind beggar named Bartimaeus (literally "Son of Timaeus"), who then received a miracle.
Pastor Jojo explains that when we put our request to God, we must also put our participation and effort into that request by putting faith and doing. Faith in Jesus transforms how we think, impacts how we feel, and alters our actions.
When we want our request to be heard and granted, we must trust His time, we must throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles and we must follow Him.
SO, ON YOUR FEET! TAKE HEART! HE'S CALLING YOU

This week's series, continues with Jesus asked, "Why do you worry?" He asked this question to the crowds at one of his best-known teachings, the Sermon on the Mountain.

Brother Mark Ian Baranda discussed this message and reminded us that getting extremely worried about something will only keep us away from fulfilling God purposes for which He has called us.

Instead of worrying, we should fill our minds with Jesus, seeking Him and His righteousness above all else. Once we fill our thoughts with Christ, we can be confident to choose and focus on Him rather than the worries of the world.

This week, Pastor Joy discusses some of the reasons why people walk away from the Lord as the series continued with another question that Jesus asked: "Are you also going away? Jesus asked this question to his twelve disciples after many others turned their backs on Him. Jesus's teachings and words can be hard to agree to take for some, but Scripture hurts us in order to heal us. When the path to follow Jesus becomes too narrow, too hard to follow, and hard to accept, it is easier to turn and leave to avoid the difficult call. But we, as believers in Christ, need to remember that Jesus is not just a prophet; he is not just a rabbi; he is a king. Only he has the words of life.
So will we turn away? Will we leave?

This week, Pastor Joy continues the series with another question Jesus asked: "Do you understand what I have done for you? The question was addressed to His disciples when Jesus performed the very act of humility, the washing of His disciples's feet. Jesus shows us to serve one another with a humble heart and with love. He is our example, and as His followers, we are to emulate Him. The path to Christ-likeness comes from serving others. We, too, should look for ways to serve those around us with compassion, humility and love.

Discipleship in Christianity is the journey of learning to love and follow Jesus, striving to become more like Him in our thoughts and actions.

What kind of discipleship model should we implement? In this episode, Rev. Dr. Al Termulo discusses the topic of discipleship and disciple-making in the context of today and how it can be planted and nurtured into something more than just becoming a follower.
