Believers of all races can be heirs together in one body and share in the promise of Christ. This week, Rev. Jeremiah Cheung expounds on this mystery of the gospel, which shows how we can worship and serve together with other believers.

The post Ang Pamilya Ng Diyos appeared first on Christian Bible Church of the Philippines.

保羅有一個夢想之旅, 他要去三個地方, 先去耶路撒冷, 再去羅馬, 最後去西班牙。這3000公里夢想之旅也是危險之旅, 保羅去耶路冷撒, 羅馬與西班牙不是為觀光旅遊, 不是為購物, 保羅是為使命, 是為福音去。今天我們要從耶路撒冷之旅, 羅馬之旅與西班牙之旅來學習保羅的心志。

It was Paul’s dream to visit three key places despite the danger and distance. This week, Rev. Jeremiah Cheung shows us how Paul’s passion for sharing the gospel compelled him to visit Jerusalem, Rome, and Spain regardless of the risk.

The post A Pattern for Life and Ministry appeared first on Christian Bible Church of the Philippines.

Ang puno’t-dulo ng pagtatalakay natin sa aklat ng Romans ay ang pagkakaroon ng puso at sigla tulad ni Paul sa pagbabahagi ng Magandang Balita ng Diyos sa mga hindi pa kumikilala sa Kanya. Itong linggo, ilalahad ni Ptr. Renz Raquion kung ano ang kahulugan, importansya, at mga paraan upang magsagawa ng Missions.

Our study of the book of Romans should drive us to the same missional task and fervor that Paul had for the gentiles. This week, Ptr. Renz Raquion explains what Missions are, why they’re needed, and how we can do them.

基督在世上的時候, 常常為門徒留下榜樣, 因為主知道人都是從榜樣學習的; 羅馬書15:1-13是基督為我們留下的榜樣, 教導我們不批評不論斷多接納, 這13節的經文告訴我們基督為我們留下了三個美好的榜樣, 1.基督擔代了人的軟弱2.基督不求自己的喜悅 3.基督接納了所有的人 。

Christ lived as an example to His disciples, teaching them not to criticize nor judge but to accept each other and to look out for the interest of others above their own. This week, Rev. Jeremiah Cheung urges us to follow Jesus’ example of selflessness and being willing to sacrifice for others.

The post Wag Kang Basher: Accepting Others Even When We Disagree (Part 2) appeared first on Christian Bible Church of the Philippines.

教會裡有二種的信徒, 信心軟弱的信徒與信心剛強的信徒。信心軟弱的是指他們對真理的認識比較淺, 以為還要遵守律法的規定; 信心剛強的是指他們對真理的認識比較深, 他們知道所有律法的規定都已經過去了。當我們的看法與意見不同時, 我們當怎樣去面對, 答案是: 不批評不論斷多接納。

Believers in the church may have different views and depths of understanding the truth — especially when it pertains to what is by the law and what is by grace. This week, Rev. Jeremiah Cheung reminds us that we should accept each other’s journey in the faith, never criticizing or passing judgment on others.
