Finding Strength in God’s Presence (Exo 33:7-17) | Rev. Herman Moldez, Feb 8, 2026

The burden of leading God’s people to the Promised Land was too overwhelming. Moses could not do if God would not journey with them. God promised to abide with His presence to find rest in a wearisome journey. How will you find rest to sustain a long journey?

What keeps you going to persevere in a perilous journey?

Moses says it is the experience of the presence of God. Unless we cultivate living in God's presence it is easy to lose heart when the going gets rough. God's presence is the fuel to burn our hearts to keep going. How will you seek and sense God's presence?

Carve a sacred space to be alone with God to commune in His love. God's love burning in your heart is a soul force to give strength. You stay in the divine presence by abiding with God in your daily work and walk in God's path and perspective. The practice of awareness of God by noticing His hidden presence in the ordinary enables you to live in the center where God reigns.

How intense is your longing for God? May we all be like Joshua who stayed at the door of the tent meeting, in holy envy of Moses who met with God face to face as one speaks to a friend (v.11).

Strength For the Journey (Sermon Series)

The journey to the future is not a smooth trip. There are difficulties and disappointments to losing our heart. Unless we develop an inner resilience to persevere, we are tempted to give up. We need to cultivate spiritual disciplines to develop strength of being to continue what God has invited us to join Him in the new beginning He has started us.

The Holy Spirit is given to equip believers with God’s presence and power. If we welcome the Holy Spirit to infuse divine energy, we can develop a soul force of love and life to meet the challenges and crises in the journey. How do we do this?

The sermon series this February 2026 will focus on Jacob, Moses, David, and Paul to learn from their experiences to develop spiritual Strength for the Journey. Through their spiritual practice and perspective. They serve as soul guides to develop inner resilience in life’s journey.

Broken To Be a Blessing (Gen 32:22-30) | Rev. Herman Moldez, Feb 1, 2026

Jacob, through his canning dealings survived and became successful. He got the blessing due to his twin brother Esau in exchange of a bowl of soup by deception. As he faced Esau, he was devising his last option to survive. God wrestled with him in Jabbok to wrench his hip. Deeply broken, he sought God’s blessing. He received a new name, from Jacob the deceiver to Israel the overcomer.

Journeying Together (Gal 6:1-5) | Ptr. Rein Arlegui, Jan 25, 2026

We don’t live in isolation. As Christ’s body, we are interconnected and interdependent with one another. We support each other, especially in failure. We share with one another our heavy burdens. We journey together as God’s community of love.

1. In a Community of Love v.1

2. In a Family of Faith v.2

3. In a Path of Accountability v.3-5

Listen to Jesus (Luke 9:28-36) | Rev. Herman Moldez, Jan 18, 2026

We will hear so many voices calling us the way to live. Many influencers will convince us by their popular message. We must listen to Jesus only even if others consider us fools to be faithful to him. Jesus Christ is the chosen one.

What is the source of your guidance to follow Jesus?

Living a new journey with God is the way of discipleship. We listen to Jesus to discern His call to follow Him. We listen well by the practice of communion of love in solitude. It is to be with Jesus in prayer to deepen loving relationship with God.

But it is not to listen when life becomes hard. Contemplation enables us to look at suffering to see Christ's glory. We listen as we see Christ revealed even as we go through trials and troubles. We need to center our life to God to see everything where God is making all things new.

We need to slow down in life's busyness to be with Jesus to look and listen to Jesus' invitation to follow Him to the unknown.

How will you set your life to create a sacred space to listen to Jesus?

Join the Work of God (John 5:14-20) | Rev. Herman Moldez, Jan 11, 2026

Life can become an adventure if we join God’s work. In fact, this is not just an option but our calling. God calls us to participate in His great project to bring all creation under His rule. We must see what God is doing to get on board to a new adventure with God.

Are things you want to do for God the work of God?

In John 5, Jesus healed the invalid for 38 years to continue and connect to work of God.

God is continuing His work to sustain the life of people, creatures, and creation He made.

We are God's partner in His work. We contemplate to see the work of God He reveals about His great project to redeem the world.

Let us connect to join the work of God as His servants to advance the kingdom in 2026.

What do you see God is doing where you are? How will you align your activities with the agenda of God?

A New Journey with God (January Sermon Series)

In many ways the journey of the coming year will be the same. The Preacher observes there is nothing new under the sun (Eccl 1:9). The world’s trouble will stay. Traffic stress may even get worse. Corruption will not be solved. Sickness and suffering will be part of life.

But a new world order has come. The first Advent has introduced the presence of the Kingdom invading every part of life. Christ has bound the strong man. The Holy Spirit indwells us to experience God’s presence and power. We now live as new creation people where heaven and earth meet. Problems are not fully solved. Yet the signs of salvation are at work. Our sins are forgiven. We are being sanctified. We are bearing the fruits of life in our brokenness.

We step into a new year of journey. God invites to explore life under His rule, right in the middle where we struggle to experience something new. The old will pass away. The ordinary will be filled with glory. We will discover God at work where we wrestle with evil. We reach out to God to hold our hands to lead us even in places we don’t want to go.

Invitation to Begin with God (Rev 21:1-5) | Rev. Herman Moldez, Jan 4, 2026

The incarnation of Jesus Christ is like heaven coming down on earth. The kingdom dawn to usher a new day. Christ’s presence is God dwelling with us. In Christ, the new creation has started. We are invited to start something new with God.

What do you wish things could be different in your life but feeling helpless?

Instead of wishful thinking, learn to welcome that things could be new with God. Imagine you start the day to seize something new to make things different. We are invited to join God making all things new. How?

We LET GO of the past ... TO LOOK GOD at the present ... where He is working to transform our brokenness into beauty of Christlikeness. If we see God, let us LIVE TO BEGIN with God in making all things new in 2026.

Think: Where does God invite you to begin an adventure of making things new?

Light of the World (Matthew 5:14-16) | Ptr. Rein Arlegui, Dec 28, 2025

The world needs light. God’s light shining into our lives transforms us to

become the light of the world. We are sent to shine the glory of light to the unbelieving world.

We shine with God’s light of love where we live and work to uphold moral purity in all areas of

life. How can the light of Christ shine brightly through the church today?

1. Identity in the World v.14

2. Integrity on the World v.15

3. Impact to the World v.16

As light of the world, we carry our identity, shining in the midst of darkness. We live by faith in transparency and consistency, influencing others by being authentic witnesses. Our Christian impact is seen and felt as we live out the righteousness of God.

Walk In the Light (1 John 1:1-10) | Rev. Herman Moldez, Dec 21, 2025

Light offers a new way to live. It is the logical outcome of knowing God who is

light. Advent invites followers of Christ to align their lives in truth and purity and build their

community in honesty and integrity. Which part of your life must you claim “there is no

darkness at all”.

How can we find the light to show the way through darkness?

1. God is Light

2. Guided by the Light

3. Grow in the Light

"Eternal light shine in us to enlighten our way day by day."
