    God Who Became Like One of Us (Heb. 2:10-18) | Herman Moldez, June 14, 2026

    God Who Became Like One of Us (Heb. 2:10-18) | Rev. Herman Moldez, June 14, 2026 In becoming human, Jesus Christ became the New Adam to reclaim our role as God's co-ruler of creation and unite as one family of God. As Lord of all things, He sets us free from demonic powers by crucifixion. What does it mean to be fully human in Christ? It is a total mystery how the holy Son of God embraces humanity in weakness and humility. However, the secret of salvation from sin towards sanctification is the incarnation of the Son of God in the person of Jesus Christ. We can only become like Jesus Christ because he becomes like one of us without being ashamed to call us his family and friends (11b-13). We may not have great status in the world but we are the sons and daughters of God, His beloved from all eternity. Our dignity does not depend on people liking us but of Jesus becoming like one of us without shame. Jesus Christ continues to live with us to accompany us in our journey (14-16). It is a paradox, yet Jesus Christ's death, made possible in becoming fully human, defeated the power of the devil. We are free to live in holiness. Jesus is our example to face life's trouble and temptation without sinning and if we do, he fully understands how it is to be human. We are not alone with Jesus Christ who abides with us by his Spirit dwelling in our hearts. Jesus leads for us, not in the way of success but through suffering to become saints (10-11). He pioneers how to be holy in being fully human, imperfect but in the process of purification through pain. Jesus Christ is our hero to become fully human, created in the image of God. Divine bloodline flows in our vein. We are granted with royal status as children of the kingdom of God. How are you living your divine bloodline in being fully human like Jesus Christ?

    Life-Formation In the Holy Spirit (2Cor 3:16-18) | Herman Moldez, May 17, 2026

    Life-Formation In the Holy Spirit (2Cor 3:16-18) | Rev. Herman Moldez, May 17, 2026 We are all being shaped by the world we live in. Our thoughts and behaviors are influenced by pattern of this world so that the institutional church is no different for its surrounding culture rather than of Christ. If we live by the Holy Spirit, we will be slowly formed to be like Christ, being redeemed to becoming fully human in the image of God. Life is vulnerable to forces shaping the person's being where character, good or bad, is formed. Human values are influenced by people we interact with, places where we live, and patterns of this world. Many are unaware of being developed within. The Holy Spirit works to form our inner being in the image of God to become like Jesus Christ. Spiritual life is growing in Christlikeness through spiritual formation of the Spirit. In 2 Cor. 3: 16-18, the Holy Spirit creates a process to develop Christlikeness. We don't grow in Christlikeness if we project an appearance that is not authentic with who we really are. The Holy Spirit creates freedom to be ourselves in the presence of God. We are free to enter in our naked self, without covering up, to seek God in the "naked now", aware and attentive of God's holy presence. We live freely with unveiled faces. The Holy Spirit guides us to focus on God's glory. We "contemplate the Lord's glory", His beautiful character. In beholding God, we slowly become like Him. We contemplate by withdrawing in silence and solitude to be illumined by God's light to purify the darkness of our hearts. Learning to live authentically in searching presence of the Holy Spirit and to seek God to know Him in His beauty, we experience formation in Christlikeness. Spiritual formation is a slow process, sustained by grace and sanctified by the Holy Spirit. How will you create more sacred spaces to allow the Holy Spirit to form every part of your being become like Jesus Christ?

  3. Living In Fullness of the Spirit (Eph 5:15-21) | Herman Moldez, May 10, 2026

    Living In Fullness of the Spirit (Eph 5:15-21) | Herman Moldez, May 10, 2026

    Living In Fullness of the Spirit (Eph 5:15-21) | Rev. Herman Moldez, May 10, 2026 Life in the Spirit is to be controlled by the Holy Spirit which the NT calls fullness of the Spirit. What controls our lives define the way we live together as Christ’s community. To be filled with the Spirit is shown in humility, harmony, and holiness overflowing in worship. One of the major struggles in Christian life is self-control. The self-weakened by the flesh, becomes a false self. We celebrate who we are, but the flesh draws us away from Christ. So, we find worldly pleasure irresistible. The gift of the Spirit empowers believers to live for the pleasure of God. In Eph 5:15-20 Paul exhorted believers to "be filled with the Spirit" instead of being drunk with wine to be controlled by alcohol. It does not need to be wine. If we live by the false self, power, possession, and prestige control us. Good things such as eating and drinking become lustful desires. Hot temper may lead to road rage. Human talents can make people proud. We are powerless to live the way of Christ apart from the Holy Spirit. To be filled with the Holy Spirit is to be controlled by the Spirit's power to say no to the false self especially because "the days are evil". How do we live the Spirit's fullness? Develop godly wisdom (v.16). We are highly informed, especially with Al. We need to be wise because not all information fed into communication platforms are godly. Even Christians are easily fooled by fake and false news because "they don't see things as they are, but as they are (Richard Rohr). Wisdom comes from the Holy Spirit by making us humble to learn from our failures. The Holy Spirit illumines our mind to discern God's will (17). Spiritual discernment enables us to celebrate what is good without being controlled by it. It guides to say no if yes yields to lust. We will know that the popular opinion is not necessarily the pleasure of God. The false self is narcissist. Life in the Spirit desires grateful worship. The role of the Holy Spirit is to honor the Lord Jesus Christ to glorify God. Worship overflows in speaking to one another, singing praises, to celebrate the Lord's goodness. We rejoice instead of resenting on life (vv. 19-20). What drives your life: the Holy Spirit or the False Self? What dominates yourself, created in the image of God, will be seen in the way you live.
