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?”

• 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?

• 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.

3. Engage the mind (15-20 mins)

• How does Jesus’ forgiveness of Peter encourage you personally in moments of failure or shame?

• 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.

3. Engage the mind (15-20 mins)

• Basahin ang talata. Ano ang kabuluhan ng resurrection ni Christ sa kasalanan, kamatayan, at pag-asa natin?
• Paano nabago ng resurrection ni Jesus ang mga dating takot na disciples?

• Ano yung mga “madidilim na libingan” sa buhay mo ngayon kung saan kailangan mong maranasan ang kapangyarihan ni Jesus?

5. Empower the hands (15-20 mins)

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

• Purihin at pasalamatan ang Diyos Ama dahil si Jesus Christ ay tunay na muling nabuhay at nagtagumpay laban sa kasalanan, kamatayan, at kapangyarihan ni Satan. 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 sa mga panahon na mas pinili mong manatili sa takot, duda, o kawalan ng pag-asa kaysa magtiwala sa kapangyarihan ng muling nabuhay na si Jesus. Humingi ng tawad sa mga pagkakataon na hinayaan mong kontrolin ka ng guilt, shame, o failures mo kaya naging mahina ang pagsunod at pagpapatotoo mo 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?

3. Engage the mind (15-20 mins)

4. Examine the heart (15-20 mins)

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

• Praise the Heavenly Father for opening our eyes through faith in Jesus Christ and His finished work on the Cross. Thank Him that salvation is not based on our own effort, goodness, or religious performance, but entirely on Christ’s sacrifice and grace. Rejoice that through Jesus, we are made right with God and invited to truly see and know Him. Give thanks that eternal life begins through believing in Christ, who lovingly endured the Cross so that we may have hope, forgiveness, and access to God.
• Repent for the times you have treated the message of the Cross as something familiar without allowing it to transform your heart and life. Ask for forgiveness for relying on your own strength, knowledge, righteousness, or religious efforts instead of fully trusting in Christ’s finished work. Confess the areas of unbelief, pride, and self-reliance that keep you from surrendering completely to Jesus. Pray that the Lord would soften your heart, deepen your faith, and help you live daily in humble dependence on Him.

The post Si Christ ay Nag Suffer at Namatay Para sa Akin—So What Am I Living For? appeared first on Christian Bible Church of the Philippines.

Jesus’ trial was deeply unjust: He was there based on false testimony, and the judge cared more about his own reputation than the truth, to the point he was willing to trade Jesus for a convicted murderer. This Sunday, Rev. Jeremiah Cheung explores how this miscarriage of justice brought redemption for all of humanity.

• What forms of suffering did Jesus endure from the soldiers? What do these reveal about the weight of sin?

4. Examine the heart (15-20 mins)

Thank Him that even though we were like Barabbas—guilty and deserving of judgment—Jesus took our place and bore our punishment on the cross. Rejoice that through Christ, our sins are forgiven, our old self is crucified, and we are given new life. Thank Him for His grace that continues to pursue us and for His constant intercession on our behalf.
• Repent for the times you have chosen to please people instead of standing firm in truth, and for the moments you have acted unjustly in your thoughts, words, or actions. Ask for forgiveness for taking the sacrifice of Jesus lightly and for living as if your old self still has control. Pray that you would truly die to sin and live in the new life Christ has given you, with a heart that is quick to repent, willing to obey, and committed to walk in truth and righteousness.

The post What Will You Do With Jesus? appeared first on Christian Bible Church of the Philippines.

Nanatiling tapat si Hesus sa misyon ng Krus, kahit Siya’y itinakwil at kinutya ng mga pinuno ng relihiyon, ng mga may awtoridad, at ng madla—silang mismong nais Niyang iligtas. Ngayong Linggo, ipinapaalala ni Reverend Mike Cariño na piliin si Kristo kahit Siya’y tinatanggihan ng mundo, sapagkat pinili Niya tayo sa kabila ng lahat.

Jesus remained faithful to the mission of the Cross, even as He was rejected and mocked by religious leaders, those in authority, and the people in the crowd whom He had come to save. This Sunday, Rev. Mike Cariño reminds us to choose Christ even when the world rejects Him, for He chose us in spite of everything.

Magpasalamat dahil tinanggap ni Jesus ang rejection upang tayo ay matanggap ng Diyos, pinasan Niya ang parusa upang tayo ay mapatawad, at ibinigay Niya ang Kanyang buhay upang tayo ay magkaroon ng bago at ganap na buhay.

Jesus asked His disciples to keep watch and pray in the Garden of Gethsemane before the mob came for Him because their human strength would not be enough for the trials ahead. This Sunday, Rev. Jeremiah Cheung warns us against overconfidence, as relying on our own strength may lead us to fail the Lord.
