1. Start with a prayer

2. Engage one another (15-30 mins)

• Looking back on 2026, share a situation that seemed difficult at the time but that you now see differently. What made you change your perspective?

3. Engage the mind (15-20 mins)

• Read the psalm. Psalm 91 describes God as our shelter, shield, and salvation. What does each image teach you about God’s character and how He cares for His people?
• The psalm speaks confidently of God’s protection, yet faithful believers still experience suffering, loss, and even death. How does today’s message help you understand what it means to be protected by God?

4. Examine the heart (15-20 mins)

• Looking back on 2026, where can you recognize God’s protection, provision, or presence, even in situations that did not turn out the way you hoped?
• What is the thing or person you have been loving, depending on, or holding onto more than God? What makes it difficult to surrender that to Him?

5. Empower the hands (15-20 mins)

• What specific habit can you establish or strengthen to help you dwell in God’s presence daily, even when life is going well?
• Who in your family, Life Group, or circle of friends is going through a storm right now? How can you help that person experience God’s comfort and presence through your words, prayers, or actions?

6. Engage with God in prayer (20-30 mins)

• Praise our Almighty God for being our refuge, fortress, and faithful protector through every storm. Thank Him for His presence in our troubles, for the ways He has sustained and carried us throughout 2026, and for the assurance of salvation through Jesus Christ, who bore the storm of sin for us. Rejoice that our security is not dependent on our circumstances but on Christ, and that we can face 2027 with confidence because God will remain with us whatever comes.
• Repent for the times you have turned to worry, control, money, approval, or distractions instead of seeking God as your refuge. Ask for forgiveness for doubting His goodness when He allows you to go through difficulties or when His deliverance does not come in the way you expect. Pray that you may love God above all else, cultivate a deeper daily relationship with Him, and trust His presence and purposes even when you cannot see the whole road ahead.

The post Safe and Sound appeared first on Christian Bible Church of the Philippines.

“Who shall dwell on your holy hill?” Psalm 15 asks how we can hope to stand blameless before a holy God who sees even what is hidden. This Sunday, Pastor Joseph Ouano describes the character of the people God receives into His presence and the promise He gives to all who dwell with Him.

1. Start with a prayer

2. Engage one another (15-30 mins)

• Share an uncertain season when your faith or values helped you stay grounded. What helped you stand firm during that time?

3. Engage the mind (15-20 mins)

• Read the psalm. What does it mean to dwell in God’s presence? How is this different from simply attending a worship service or volunteering in ministry?
• Why is character formation not about earning God’s acceptance? How does Jesus Christ make it possible for you to approach God confidently and grow in integrity?

4. Examine the heart (15-20 mins)

• Have you been more focused on what you are doing for God than on who you are becoming as you walk with Him? What areas of your character might God be inviting you to grow in?
• If someone observed your life throughout the week, what would your words, decisions, and relationships reveal about your walk with God? Where is there a gap between what you profess to believe and how you actually live? In what situations do you find it hardest to reflect God’s character?

5. Empower the hands (15-20 mins)

• How does your relationship with God influence the way you treat people who disagree with you, inconvenience you, or have nothing to offer you in return? Who is one person you need to treat differently in light of your relationship with God? What practical step can you take to show that person greater love, grace, or fairness?
• Since Jesus has already made a way for us to approach God through His grace, how can you respond to His love by pursuing a transformed life rather than trying to earn His acceptance? What is one habit you can develop to deepen your communion with God so that your time in His presence shapes how you live outside the church?

6. Engage with God in prayer (20-30 mins)

• Praise God for inviting us into a relationship with Him through Jesus Christ, who lived the perfectly righteous life we could never live, died for our sins, and rose again to reconcile us to God. Thank Him that we do not have to earn His acceptance through our own goodness, but can approach Him with confidence because of Christ’s finished work. Rejoice in His transforming grace that shapes us to become people of integrity who love God and others, and thank Him for being our firm foundation amid life’s uncertainties.
• Repent for the times you have focused more on outward worship than on allowing God to transform your heart and daily conduct. Ask for forgiveness for the ways you have failed to reflect God’s character in your relationships, neglected justice and kindness, or relied on success, wealth, and people’s approval instead of God. Pray that you may grow in genuine communion with Him, allowing His grace to shape your character and your treatment of others, and that you may stand firm in His presence and faithfulness through every season of life.

The post Who Goes There? appeared first on Christian Bible Church of the Philippines.

1. Start with a prayer

2. Engage one another (15-30 mins)

• When you look back on this past year, what is one thing you wish you had spent more time doing?

3. Engage the mind (15-20 mins)

• Read the psalm. How are human sinfulness, God’s righteous wrath, and the brevity of life connected?
• How can our hope in God help us live meaningfully and make our short lives count for His glory?

4. Examine the heart (15-20 mins)

• When you think about how short and uncertain life is, what do you feel most deeply? Does the thought of death lead you to fear, avoidance, or a deeper dependence on God?
• Is God truly your everlasting home and source of hope, or do you find your deepest sense of security in temporary things such as achievements, relationships, possessions, or personal plans? Why?

5. Empower the hands (15-20 mins)

• What distractions or pursuits have been keeping you from reflecting on your mortality and considering how God wants you to live? What is one practical change you can make this week to spend your time more intentionally on what matters to God and has lasting value?
• What responsibility, relationship, or God-given opportunity can you approach differently so that your remaining days become more fruitful and bring greater glory to God? Is there a person you can intentionally love, serve, or share the hope of the gospel with while you still have the opportunity?

6. Engage with God in prayer (20-30 mins)

• Praise our Almighty God as our eternal dwelling place amid the brevity, hardships, and uncertainties of life. Thank Him for His love and grace, and for sending Jesus to bear the wrath and consequences of our sins so that we can be reconciled to Him. Rejoice that because of Jesus, death does not have the final word and we can live with lasting hope, knowing that our lives belong to God and can be used for His glory.
• Repent for the times you have been distracted by temporary things, avoided confronting your sin, and lived as though you had unlimited time. Ask for forgiveness for seeking security apart from God and neglecting the opportunities He has given you to love others and live according to His will. Pray that you may gain a heart of wisdom, turn away from sin, treasure the hope you have in Jesus, and use each day faithfully to glorify God and make your life count for His kingdom.

The post Life is Short appeared first on Christian Bible Church of the Philippines.

Unity is rare in this divided world, and even churches know conflict. This Sunday, Rev. Michael Cariño reminds us that God delights in unity because it is pleasant in His eyes, promotes harmony among His people, and promises His favor. Let us work with God and with one another, so our church becomes a place where grace flows, people are refreshed, and the gospel is clearly seen.

1. Start with a prayer

2. Engage one another (15-30 mins)

• What is one group, team, or community you’ve been/you are a part of where people really worked well together? What made the experience enjoyable?

3. Engage the mind (15-20 mins)

• Read the psalm. What do the images of precious oil and dew communicate about the value and impact of unity?
• What does the psalm teach us about how God views relationships within His people?

4. Examine the heart (15-20 mins)

• What attitudes, assumptions, or personal preferences might be making it difficult for you to pursue unity with others?
• Is there someone you have been avoiding, withholding forgiveness from, or keeping at a distance? How is God inviting you to examine your heart?

5. Empower the hands (15-20 mins)

• How can you become someone who strengthens unity rather than contributing to gossip, division, misunderstanding, or factions?
• What is one way you can intentionally build deeper relationships with other believers rather than simply attending church alongside them?

6. Engage with God in prayer (20-30 mins)

• Praise our Almighty God for the gift of His people and for the goodness, beauty, and blessing of living together in unity. Praise God that through Christ, He has brought us into one family and calls us to reflect His love through our relationships with one another.
• Repent for the ways you have contributed to division, held on to resentment, prioritized your own preferences, or neglected relationships within God’s family. Ask for forgiveness and pray that you may become a humble peacemaker who actively pursues unity, reconciliation, and love.

The post Living Together in Unity: Its Beauty, Benefit, and Blessing appeared first on Christian Bible Church of the Philippines.

God reveals Himself to us through His creation and His Word, calling every heart to see, hear, and respond. This Sunday, Rev. Jared Co invites us to behold God’s great creation, be revived by His Word, and be more intentional in pursuing Him.

1. Start with a prayer

2. Engage one another (15-30 mins)

• Share an experience with nature that made you stop, appreciate, or feel amazed at who God is. Which specific character and attribute stood out to you through that experience?

3. Engage the mind (15-20 mins)

• Read the psalm. Why is creation not enough for us to know God personally? What does Scripture reveal that creation cannot?
• What are some of the benefits of God’s Word? Why can obedience to God’s Word ultimately lead to life, wisdom, and happiness? Try to explain your response like you’re speaking to an unbeliever.

4. Examine the heart (15-20 mins)

• How do you currently view God’s Word: as a list of demands, or as something precious and delightful that leads to life? What might your attitude reveal about your heart?
• When God’s Word exposes something wrong in your life, is your first response to pray for God’s help, or to try harder to fix yourself? Where is this rooted?

5. Empower the hands (15-20 mins)

• What practical step can you take this week to spend more intentional time reading and responding to God’s Word?
• What specific sin, struggle, or area of weakness do you need to bring honestly before God in prayer and obedience this week?

6. Engage with God in prayer (20-30 mins)

• Praise our Almighty God for revealing Himself through the heavens and creation and, even more personally, through His Word. Thank Him that the Creator is also our gracious Redeemer, and praise Jesus Christ for doing what we could never do for ourselves. Rejoice that through Christ, we can approach God, receive forgiveness, and obey His Word with a new heart.
• Repent for relying on your own strength instead of coming to God in prayer when His Word exposes your sin and weakness. Ask the Lord to forgive you for treating His Word as a burden rather than a delight, and pray that you may trust Jesus more deeply as your Redeemer so that you can obey God with a willing and transformed heart.

The post From the Heavens to My Heart appeared first on Christian Bible Church of the Philippines.

God seldom explains our suffering, but He does reveal Himself. This Sunday, Ptr. Isaac Cheung shows us how a fresh vision of God’s greatness and character puts our pain in perspective, so we can respond in faith because of His promises. Like Habakkuk, let us wait on the Lord and meet our suffering with a song.

The post Suffering Met with a Song appeared first on Christian Bible Church of the Philippines.

God showed Habakkuk what He would do, yet the prophet still had to wait to see it unfold. This Sunday, Rev. Jared Co reminds us that God gives us a promise so we can wait by faith: a promise that evil will be judged, and that the righteous will live. Let us hold on to His word while we wait.

God answered Habakkuk’s cry for justice, but not in the way he wanted. This Sunday, Pastor Nathan Tee encourages us to hold steady and wait on God, especially when His answers come in unexpected forms. By surrendering our will to Him, we are able to respond in worship, recognizing that His ways and timing are always greater than our own.

The post What if I Don’t Understand What God is Doing? appeared first on Christian Bible Church of the Philippines.

With corruption and violence surrounding us, it’s easy to grow frustrated with God and approach Him with complaints, especially when He seems silent and indifferent to our prayers. This Sunday, Rev. Jared Co assures us that we can have hard conversations with God boldly and persistently because He truly understands us.

1. Start with a prayer

2. Engage one another (15-30 mins)

• What is something you’ve seen or experienced that made you think, “That’s not fair”? What made it seem unfair? What thoughts or feelings arose in your heart toward God?

3. Engage the mind (15-20 mins)

• Read the psalm. What was Asaph’s obvious problem, and what did he eventually discover was the hidden problem underneath it? Why is this distinction important?
• What does Psalm 73 teach us about the relationship between worship, repentance, and finding satisfaction in God?

4. Examine the heart (15-20 mins)

• When you are disappointed or struggling with God, what hidden desires or motives might be underneath your questions and frustrations? Have you ever realized that what seemed like a desire for justice was actually rooted in comparison, envy, or wanting what someone else had? What did that reveal about your heart?
• When you come to God in worship, are you more concerned with getting answers from Him or encountering Him? What does this reveal about your relationship with God?

5. Empower the hands (15-20 mins)

• When envy or comparison arises, how can you intentionally redirect your heart toward God as your greater and lasting treasure?
• What can you intentionally do this week to move from simply seeking answers from God to seeking God Himself through worship, prayer, His Word, and fellowship with His people?

6. Engage with God in prayer (20-30 mins)

• Praise God that He does not merely give us explanations for our struggles but gives us Himself. Thank Him that His presence is a greater answer than simply understanding why difficult things happen. Thank God for the privilege of coming into His presence through worship and, ultimately, through the blood-soaked cross of Christ, where our sins are atoned for and we are welcomed into His presence. Praise Him that while everything earthly is temporary and can eventually be taken away, God remains our portion, our guide, and our eternal treasure.
• Repent for the times you have allowed envy, comparison, bitterness, or self-centered desires to shape how you view God and your circumstances. Ask God to expose the hidden motives beneath your complaints and doubts, especially when you are more concerned about what others have than about knowing and worshiping Him. Repent for seeking temporary prosperity, comfort, recognition, or possessions as the source of your satisfaction. Ask God to relocate your heart’s treasure to Him so that you can be freed from envy and find lasting joy in His presence.
