Psalm 1 tells us that there are two paths in life: the way of the wicked or the path of righteousness. This Sunday, Rev. Jeremiah Cheung uses this Psalm to remind us that we alone make the choice on which path to take. Let us choose wisely and walk faithfully all the way to the end.

1. Start with a prayer

2. Engage one another (15-30 mins)

• Share a habit or routine that has helped you stay spiritually grounded during difficult seasons. How did you develop it?

3. Engage the mind (15-20 mins)

• Read the passage. How is the righteous person compared to a tree? What makes his life abundant and fruitful?
• What does the chaff teach about the life of the wicked? How do we see chaff-like living today?

4. Examine the heart (15-20 mins)

• How healthy is the unseen part of your spiritual life (your personal relationship with God when no one else sees)? Which aspects are flourishing, and which ones withering?
• What areas in your life are you choosing your own path instead of surrendering to God’s direction? Where is this coming from?

5. Empower the hands (15-20 mins)

• Do you delight in God’s Word, or do you often treat it as a responsibility or routine? Why do you think that is? What practical habit can you start this week to meditate on God’s Word more intentionally day and night?
• In what ways are you tempted to walk, stand, and sit with ungodly influences instead of following God’s ways? What unhealthy influence, environment, or relationship do you need to say “no” to so you can walk more faithfully with God?

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

• Praise the Heavenly Father for leading us into the path of true blessing and life through His Word. Thank Him because He does not leave us lost or directionless, but lovingly watches over the way of the righteous. Rejoice that through His Word, He nourishes our souls like a tree planted by streams of water, giving us strength, stability, and fruitfulness in every season of life. Thank Him for His faithfulness in sustaining us even through trials and challenges, and for allowing us to know Him personally and walk closely with Him.
• Repent for the times you have followed worldly influences, chosen your own path, or allowed sinful attitudes and habits to shape your life. Ask forgiveness for neglecting God’s Word or treating it only as knowledge instead of delighting in it and obeying it wholeheartedly. Confess the ways your roots have become shallow and your heart distracted from intimacy with God. Pray that the Lord would help you reject the path that leads to destruction and continually plant your life deeply in Him, so that you may bear lasting fruit for His glory.

• Share a habit or routine that has helped you stay spiritually grounded during difficult seasons. How did you develop it?

3. Engage the mind (15-20 mins)

• Read the passage. What are the characteristics of the “blessed” person and the “wicked” person? Why are they compared not as a big and small tree, but between a tree and chaff?
• How does Jesus fulfill the picture of the truly blessed man in Psalm 1?

4. Examine the heart (15-20 mins)

• In what ways have you experienced being more like chaff (focused on externals, approval, or temporary things) rather than being deeply rooted in God?
• When you read or hear God’s Word, do you approach it more with delight or with dread? Why do you think that is?

5. Empower the hands (15-20 mins)

• What distractions, sinful patterns, or unhealthy influences keep you from intentionally meditating on God’s Word day and night? What practical step can you take this week to make meditating on God’s Word part of your daily rhythm?
• What specific influence, habit, or environment do you need to reject, flee, or limit so that sin will not slowly take root in your life?

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

• Praise the Heavenly Father for showing us the blessed way through His Word and through Christ Jesus. Thank Him because His Word is not empty or burdensome, but life-giving, life-shaping, and life-sustaining. Rejoice that through Jesus Christ, we are no longer condemned by the Law but invited to delight in Him. Thank Him for being the steady stream that nourishes our souls, gives us strength in every season, and produces lasting fruit in our lives.
• Repent for the times you have neglected God’s Word or treated it as a duty instead of a delight. Ask forgiveness for allowing worldly influences, sinful habits, and distractions to shape your thinking more than God’s truth. Confess the ways you have relied on externals, self-effort, or temporary comforts instead of being deeply rooted in Christ. Pray that the Lord would renew your heart so that you may truly delight in Jesus and meditate on His Word day and night with love, humility, and obedience.

The post The Blessed Way appeared first on Christian Bible Church of the Philippines.

True blessing is not found in circumstances, wealth, or fame — but in a life rooted in God. This Sunday, Rev. Michael Cariño teaches us that the blessed life is defined by three things: the company we reject, the command we relish, and the consequence we receive from God.

1. Magdasal bilang panimula.

2. Engage with one another (15-30 mins)

• Sino ang isa sa mga taong may malaking impluwensya sa buhay mo ngayon? Ano ang isang mabuting bagay na natutunan mo mula sa kanya?

3. Engage the mind (15-20 mins)

• Basahin ang talata. Bakit nagsimula ang Psalm 1 sa mga dapat iwasan ng isang blessed na tao bago banggitin ang mga dapat gawin?
• Paano inilarawan ang blessed na tao at ang wicked na tao gamit ang puno at ipa (chaff)?

4. Examine the heart (15-20 mins)

• Sino o ano ang pinakamalaking impluwensya sa pag-iisip mo ngayon (ang Salita ng Diyos, social media, mga kaibigan, kultura, etc.)? Anong mga boses o impluwensya ang unti-unti nang naging normal sa buhay mo kahit alam mong hindi ito nakakatulong sa relasyon mo sa Diyos?
• Pagnilayan at ibahagi: Deeply rooted in Christ ka ba, o parang chaff na madaling matangay ng hangin? Bakit mo ito nasabi?

5. Empower the hands (15-20 mins)

• Ano ang isang impluwensya, content, habit, o relationship na kailangan mong limitahan, bantayan, o talikuran upang mas maprotektahan ang puso, isip, at kilos mo?
• Anong practical step ang maaari mong gawin upang mas mapalalim ang personal mong relasyon sa Diyos, hindi lang ang kaalaman mo tungkol sa Kanya? Paano ka magiging mas intentional sa pagninilay ng Salita ng Diyos araw at gabi ngayong linggo?

6. Maglaan ng oras para sa pagdadasal (20-30 mins)

• Purihin at pasalamatan ang ating Ama sa langit dahil ang tunay na pagpapala ay hindi nakasalalay sa yaman, tagumpay, o kasikatan, kundi sa isang buhay na nakatanim at nakakapit sa Kanya. Pasalamatan Siya dahil patuloy Niya tayong ginagabayan, inaalagaan, at pinalalago sa pamamagitan ng Kanyang Salita. Magpasalamat kay Jesus Christ, ang perpektong Matuwid na Tao, na nagtagumpay kung saan tayo nabigo upang tayo ay mapatawad, mabago, at maitanim sa tabi ng buhay na tubig. Purihin Siya dahil nakikita Niya, kilala Niya, at ginagabayan Niya ang landas ng mga nagtitiwala sa Kanya.
• Magsisi sa mga pagkakataong mas pinakinggan mo ang mga tinig ng mundo kaysa sa tinig ng Diyos. Humingi ng tawad sa mga impluwensya, gawain, o relasyon na unti-unting naglalayo ng puso mo mula sa Panginoon at nagpapahina ng iyong conviction. Ipagtapat mo ang mga panahong naging mababaw ang ugat ng iyong pananampalataya at mas nagtiwala ka sa sarili mong karunungan kaysa sa Salita ng Diyos. Hilingin mo na bigyan ka ng Panginoon ng pusong nagagalak sa Kanyang Salita, mas malalim na pagmamahal kay Christ, at katatagang manatiling nakaugat sa Kanya anuman ang panahon o pagsubok na dumating sa iyong buhay.

1. Start with a prayer

2. Engage one another (15-30 mins)

• Share your greatest hope or concern for the next generation (kids, younger people in the family/church/community).

3. Engage the mind (15-20 mins)

• Read the passage. Why does human work, building, or labor become in vain without the Lord?
• Why is passing down the faith to the next generation closely connected to the mission and heart of God?

4. Examine the heart (15-20 mins)

• In what areas of your life do you tend to work and strive without fully depending on God’s presence? Where is this rooted?
• What fears or frustrations do you have about the gap between the present generation and the next? How might God be inviting you to respond differently?

5. Empower the hands (15-20 mins)

• What habits or investments in your life need to change so that your labor will have eternal and lasting value?
• How do you personally view the next generation? Do you see them as distractions, responsibilities, blessings, or instruments from God? How can you intentionally pass on your faith to someone younger than you—whether through prayer, mentoring, conversations, or example?

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

• Praise the Heavenly Father because His work in our lives is never in vain when He is at the center. Thank Him for being our true source of security, peace, and purpose, even when the world teaches us to rely on our own strength and achievements. Thank Him for the gift of families, children, and the next generation whom He has entrusted to us as a heritage, blessing, and instrument for His glory. Rejoice that God continues to work even while we rest, and that His plans will continue from generation to generation as His faithfulness endures forever.
• Repent for the times you have labored, worried, and built your life apart from God’s presence and direction. Ask for forgiveness for placing your security in temporary things instead of trusting the Lord completely. Repent for the moments you have neglected, underestimated, or failed to intentionally invest in the next generation spiritually. Pray that God would soften your heart to see children, youth, and younger believers through His eyes, and ask Him to help you faithfully pass on the faith through your words, example, love, and obedience.

The post 跨代信仰的傳承 Passing the Faith to the Next Generation appeared first on Christian Bible Church of the Philippines.

There are 7 billion people in the world who do not claim Christ as their Savior. Among them, 100 million are from our own country. This statistic highlights the immense opportunity for outreach and sharing the Gospel. On this Mission Sunday, Rev. John Ong urges us to lead missional lives by sharing Christ within our homes and communities, supporting missions, or serving as missionaries ourselves.

3. Engage the mind (15-20 mins)

• Read the passages. What is the heart of God for the world?
• What are the four challenges given to believers in responding to God’s heart for the world? How are these practically seen today?

4. Examine the heart (15-20 mins)

• When you think about people who still do not know Christ, what usually happens in your heart (burdened, indifferent, fearful, or compassionate)? Why? How would you honestly evaluate your love for God and love for people today?

5. Empower the hands (15-20 mins)

• How well are you displaying the character and priorities of Christ in your daily life (family, workplace/school, or community)? How can you intentionally display these in your daily interactions this week?
• What specific step can you take to grow in obedience to God’s call to “make disciples of all nations”?

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

• Praise the Heavenly Father for His great love and compassion for the whole world. Thank Him that His heart desires for all people to be saved and restored to Him through Jesus Christ. Rejoice that even while humanity was separated from Him because of sin, God made a way for reconciliation through Christ, our Mediator and Savior. Thank Him for the gift of eternal life—not only the promise of being with Him forever in heaven, but also the privilege of walking with Him daily here on earth. Praise Him that His mission continues today through ordinary believers empowered by His Spirit to make Christ known to all people.
• Repent for the times you have neglected God’s heart for the lost and become too focused on your own comfort, priorities, or fears. Ask for forgiveness for the moments you remained silent about the Gospel, failed to love people deeply, or lacked compassion for those who are far from God. Confess the times you have not reflected the character and priorities of Christ in your daily life. Pray that God would transform your heart to align with His heart for the nations, giving you greater love, boldness, obedience, and willingness to participate in His mission wherever He places you.

Nanguna na ang Panginoon —pabalik sa ating neighborhood, pabalik sa ating Galilee. Ngayong Missions Sunday, alamin natin kung ano ang ibig sabihin ng pagtatayo ng ating lungsod para kay Hesus: sa blueprint ng Diyos, sa matapat na pundasyon, at sa walang hanggang horizon.

3. Engage the mind (15-20 mins)

• Basahin ang talata. Paano ipinakita ng Diyos na simula pa sa umpisa ang puso Niya ay para sa lahat ng tao?
• Anong picture ng future ang makikita natin sa New Jerusalem? Paano nito dapat binabago ang perspective natin sa missions ngayon?

4. Engage the heart (15-20 mins)

• Mas focused ka ba minsan sa sariling plano mo kaysa sa Kingdom work na gustong gawin ni God sa pamamagitan mo? Bakit kaya?

5. Engage the hands (15-20 mins)

Thank Him that from the very beginning, His desire was not only to save individuals but to restore all things through Jesus Christ. Magpasalamat dahil ang mission ni God ay hindi lang tungkol sa future heaven kungdi pati sa present restoration ng mga tao, relationships, communities, at creation. Praise Him because the risen Christ continues to go before us—back to our neighborhoods, workplaces, schools, and cities—to invite people into His kingdom. Thank Him that we are not building alone; we are participating in a city and kingdom that God Himself promised to complete.
• Pagsisihan ang mga panahon na hindi ka kumilos, naging makasarili, o disconnected ka sa mission ni God sa paligid mo. Ask for forgiveness for the times na tiningnan mo ang neighborhood, workplace, school, o city mo as ordinary places instead of mission fields. Repent for moments na nawalan ka ng patience sa tao, walang pakialam sa needs ng iba, o mas inuna mo ang sariling comfort kaysa pagiging faithful presence ni Christ. Humingi ka ng tawad sa mga panahong hindi mo naipakita ang character, compassion, at heart ni Jesus sa everyday relationships mo. Pray that God would give you a heart that is patient, present, faithful, at willing makibahagi sa ginagawa Niyang pagbuo ng Kanyang eternal city.

The Book of Mark concludes with a seemingly open-ended finale, leaving Mary Magdalene and the other women confused about how to make sense of Jesus’ resurrection. This Sunday, Rev. Jeremiah Cheung brings the series on Mark to a close in similar fashion, posing the question: “How will you write the ending of your own life story?”

1. Start with a prayer

2. Engage one another (15-30 mins)

• Share a time you struggled to believe or trust God in a difficult situation, even though you already knew His promises. What made it hard for you?

3. Engage the mind (15-20 mins)

• Read the passage. Why is Galilee important in the disciples’ story? What does Jesus’ instruction to return there symbolize?
• How does the open ending of the Book of Mark challenge believers today?

4. Examine the heart (15-20 mins)

• In what areas of your life do you tend to respond with fear or anxiety instead of trusting that God is already at work? Where is this rooted?
• Do you see yourself more as a fearful follower or a bold witness of Jesus today? Why? What usually keeps you from sharing about Jesus openly with others?

5. Empower the hands (15-20 mins)

• What is one practical way you can grow in trusting God instead of being controlled by fear or anxiety this week?
• How can you actively serve Jesus as His faithful servant in your home, workplace, school, circles, or ministry this week?

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

• Praise the Heavenly Father because Jesus Christ has truly risen from the dead and defeated sin and death once and for all. Thank Him that even when we are filled with fear, anxiety, and doubt, He remains faithful and continues to pursue us with grace. Thank Him that, like Peter and the disciples, He does not forsake us in our failures but lovingly calls us back to Himself for a fresh start. Rejoice that the risen Christ is alive, present, and actively working in our lives even before we see the solution to our problems.
• Repent for the times you have responded with fear, silence, or unbelief instead of trusting and obeying the risen Lord. Ask for forgiveness for the moments you have kept the gospel to yourself, hesitated to speak about Jesus, or allowed anxiety and shame to stop you from following Him boldly. Pray that the Lord would transform your fearful heart into a courageous and faithful witness who joyfully proclaims that Jesus is alive and worthy to be followed.

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

• Praise the Heavenly Father because the resurrection of Jesus Christ proves that His work of salvation is fully finished and complete.

Rejoice that even in our weakness, failures, and fears, the Lord still calls us by grace and invites us to be part of His mission. Thank Him for the privilege of knowing the risen Savior and being entrusted with the good news that changes lives.
• Repent for the times you have doubted the truth and power of the gospel or treated it casually without wonder and gratitude. Ask for forgiveness for allowing fear, insecurity, comfort, or shame to keep you silent about Jesus. Repent for the moments you have focused more on your own limitations than on the power of the risen Christ who calls and equips you. Pray that the Lord would give you an open heart to believe His truth deeply and a courageous spirit to joyfully share the good news with others.

Magpasalamat dahil kahit sa gitna ng sakit, kalungkutan, at mga mabibigat na pinapasan natin, patuloy na kumikilos ang Diyos para sa ikabubuti natin. Pasalamatan Siya dahil hindi Niya tayo iniiwan sa ating mga “libingan” ng takot, guilt, shame, o kawalan ng pag-asa, kundi binibigyan tayo ng bagong buhay at bagong pag-asa kay Christ.

Magsisi rin sa mga panahon na nawalan ka ng gana sa relationship mo sa Panginoon. Ipanalangin na palitan ng Diyos ang takot mo ng pananampalataya, ang pagdududa mo ng pag-asa, at ang katahimikan mo ng kalakasan ng loob para mamuhay at magpatotoo para kay Jesus.

• What do Joseph of Arimathea’s actions teach you about courage and discipleship?

4. Examine the heart (15-20 mins)

• In what ways do you sometimes act like the crowd, the soldiers, or the disciples—rejecting, avoiding, or staying silent about Jesus?

Thank Him that even in the midst of man’s wickedness, His goodness and perfect plan prevailed. Rejoice that through Jesus’ broken body and sacrifice, the curtain was torn and we now have direct access to His presence. Give thanks that Christ remained faithful to accomplish our salvation and offer us new life.
• Repent for the times you have denied, avoided, or stayed silent about Jesus out of fear, shame, or comfort. Ask for forgiveness for taking lightly the suffering and separation Christ endured because of your sin. Confess the ways you have clung to your old life instead of fully embracing the new life He offers. Pray for the courage to stand for Christ, to follow Him wholeheartedly, and to live boldly as His disciple.
