Youth: Down from His glory
by Julian Santiago on December 2nd, 2024
Have you ever thought about how far someone would go to help someone else? Imagine giving up everything you have just to help someone in need.

Down from His glory
by Julian Santiago on December 2nd, 2024
What would you do if you had the chance to glimpse God’s glory? Would you be in awe of His majesty or overwhelmed by His greatness?

by Julian Santiago on November 25th, 2024

Our reasonable service
by Julian Santiago on November 18th, 2024
During the COVID-19 pandemic, what we considered essential shifted dramatically. Items we had always taken for granted—like hand sanitizer and toilet paper—became priceless commodities. People waited in lines, hoping they weren’t too late to grab what they needed. This experience highlights how easily we can misplace value until a crisis forces us to reconsider. In the same way, the Apostle Paul challenges us to build our lives around things that have lasting, eternal value rather than conforming to the world's ever-changing priorities... Read More

Paul wrote the Book of Romans to help people understand what it means to follow Jesus. In chapter 10, Paul explains how important faith is for us to be saved. Back in Paul’s time, many Jewish people wanted to please God but didn’t realize that following rules wasn’t enough. They needed to put their faith in Jesus, the Savior. They had the wrong idea about how to be right with God. Read More
Hearing in faith

Paul’s letter to the Romans stands as a monumental piece of Christian theology, and chapter 10 focuses on the importance of faith in salvation. During Paul’s time, many devout Jews were zealous for God but lacked understanding of His new covenant through Jesus Christ. They held tightly to the Law, missing the revelation that Jesus was the fulfillment of God’s promise. Paul’s deep desire was for them to embrace faith in Jesus, the true Redeemer. Read More
