What the church should be like

The church should be fun, exciting, encouraging and winning souls for the Lord. And guess what? That really happened last night. We had so much fun, laughter, challenge, merienda, excitement & our sweats were dripping with the "bring me" game. Haha. And for the climax, The one last question... - THE BIG Q - "Will everyone be in heaven?", pastor Mark brought the message and many have received the Lord, 18 to be exact! w0w woooohooooo! God is really great, our friends, first timers have received the Lord and Josiah also (w0w - God really moved in his life), just wait for the pictures I tell you! ^_^ what a super great night! And to finish it off, we sang Happy Day & the never ending ONE WAY (it has been years since we last sang it at church, haha). God has so much in store for you, just continue to walk with Him. If you don't have a personal relationship with the Lord yet, we're inviting you to pray this short prayer.

"Lord Jesus, I know that I'm a sinner, and I ask for Your forgiveness. I believe that You are the son of God & I believe that You died and after 3 days You rose again from the grave. Come into my life and my heart Lord, from this time on I make You my Lord and my Savior. Help me be the person that you want me to be starting today. Thank You Jesus. AMEN!"

Friend if you prayed that prayer, CONGRATULATIONS! You just now have made the most important decision in your life and you are now a part of the family of God, we love you. Read your Bible and pray everyday. You now have a personal relationship with Jesus and get to know Him better. Find a Bible based church or a group of people who loves the Lord. and again CONGRATULATIONS!!! ^_^ Godblez

Long Time No Blog.....

Hey guys, it has really been a long loooooonnnnnggggg time since we've blogged. Haha. Sorry for not posting, if you're the ones who are checking out our blog every once in a while or maybe everyday, we're sorry. ^_^

Well, there are so many things that have happened these past years at the church, good & bad, but the Lord is in control and we know that we are going in the right way. And right now, the church is re-structuring, so it's busy busy busy. But it is also sooooooo exciting, many exciting plans ahead. ^_^ We will keep you updated about what is/will happening, but to be honest, we don't know how it will be frequent but be assured that we will post what God has done here at Santiago. We're also thinking on having another blogsite, but for the meantime we'll use this. but we don't know. just keep updated. :D

Right now, the church is really growing. I remember pastor Mark said, if you're not being stretched, you are not growing. And now, our young people here are getting more involved at the church, this coming weeks 2 of our young people will be opening a Lifegroup, and more young people want to be involved in a lifegroup & in the worship ministry. It' all good. God is really doing great. :D

"so is my word that goes out from my mouth:

it will not return to me empty,

but will accomplish what I desire

and achieve the purpose for which I sent it."

Isaiah 55:11

We believe God has given us a vision at the church, which is Saturate Santiago. And we believe God is moving & He will do what He wants in His church, in Santiago, in the Philippines & in the whole world. And we want to see it come to past. So, are you up for the challenge? what vision did God gave you? Are you just gonna be an audience or be a part of God's army? Godblez

It's All Or Nothing

It's All Or Nothing

We are in a world that demands everything, a world that's so dark, that's so evil, a world that offers us many good things but temporary. But who are we really? What do we really want as Christians? Have we forgotten who we are? have we forgotten why we are here on Earth? There are so many things, attractive & colorful things, that hinders us in our relationship with God, big or small. We must abstain from anything that is bringing us down. like paul said: "Dear friends, I urge you, as aliens and strangers in the world, to abstain from sinful desires, which war against your soul." 1 Peter 2:11. We must do all that we can to abstain from these things. Where do you think you're heading right now? Heaven or Hell? The time is coming and it's near that God will separate His people from His enemies. We've got to make a stand. Where will you be when that time comes? "Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us" Hebrews 12:1. Dear friends, God didn't gave His Son, Jesus, to die on the cross so that we may live our lives the way we want it to. God requires us everything! Everything!

Godbless
