  Dear Beloved Readers, Grace and peace be with you! We stand in awe of the passage of time as we come to you today, after a decade of silence, to breathe new life into our beloved Christian church ministry blog. Over these years of absence, our church and ministry have been on a profound journey of growth, transformation, and service, and we are eager to share our experiences, wisdom, and renewed passion with all of you.

As we embark on this new chapter, we are committed to building upon that foundation and embracing the ever-evo...

SI JESUS SA TANAMAN SA GETSEMANI Mateo 26:30—56; Lucas 22:39-53; Juan 18:3-13 Sa gabii nga wala pa ilansang si Jesus sa krus, Siya ug ang Iyang mga tinun-an miadto sa usa ka tanaman gawas sa siyudad. Getsamani ang ngalan sa maong tanaman. Sa diha na sila sa ganghaan sa tanaman, gisultihan ni Jesus ang Iyang mga tinun-an, “PAbilin una kamo dinhi samtang moadto Ako sa unahan aron sa pag-ampo.” Unya Iyang gidala ang tulo sa Iyang mga tinun-an ngadto sa sulod sa tanaman. Masulob-on kayo Siya ug miingon kanila, “Pabilin kamo dinhi ug pagtukaw uban Kanako.” Si Jesus miadto sa unahan ug dyutay. Miluhod Siya ug nag-ampo. Miingon siya, “O Amahan Ko, kon mahimo man, ayaw itugot nga mag-antus Ako ug mamatay, apan dili sumala sa Akong pagbuot kondili ang Imong pagbuot maoy matuman.

JESUS BRINGS A WIDOW’S SON TO LIFE Luke 7:11—17 Jesus went to a town called Nain. His disciples and a big crowd of people came with him. They wanted to know more about Jesus and learn from Him. As they entered the town, a boy who had died was being carried out. The boy’s mother was there, weeping. The boy was her only child, and she was a widow. Lots of people from the town were with her. Everyone was crying and filled with sadness. When Jesus saw the mother, his heart went out to her. He wanted to help her. Jesus said, “Don’t cry.” He went over and touched the coffin. The people carrying it stood still. They were probably wondering what Jesus was going to do. Jesus said, “Young man, I tell you: Get up!” The boy sat up and began talking. Jesus helped him get up and walked back to his mother. His mother was filled with joy! She was so happy that her son was again. All of the people were excited too. They thanked God and were amazed at what happened. The people k...

THE GOLDEN CALF Exodus 32, 34 Moses was up on Mount Sinai a long time, talking to God. The people of Israel didn’t know what had happened to him. Down below, they got tired of waiting. They said to Aaron, “Make us gods.” The people brought their gold jewelry, and Aaron made it into a golden calf. The people worshipped the calf and danced around it. They said it was their new god. Up on the mountain, God saw everything. He was angry. So Moses prayed that God would not destroy the people. God was merciful. He told Moses to go back down because the people were doing wicked things. Moses went down the mountain with the two tablets from God. When Moses came near the camp. He saw the calf and the dancers.

Then Moses made two stone tablets like the first ones and went up Mount Sinai. There, he spoke to God and a...
