HEAR THE WORD WHILE YOU STILL CAN

English 🇵🇭 Tagalog HEAR THE WORD WHILE YOU STILL CAN (Luke 16:29 — “Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.”) HEAR THE WORD WHILE YOU STILL CAN (Luke 16:29 — “Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.”)   A Cry From the Other Side Brethren and friends, there is a cry that still trembles across eternity — not from heaven, but from torment. In Luke 16, our Lord Jesus pulls back the curtain of the unseen world to show us a rich man who lived for himself and a beggar named Lazarus who suffered in life but was carried by angels into Abraham’s bosom. The rich man, now in anguish, lifts up his eyes and pleads for his brothers who are still alive. “Send Lazarus,” he begs, “that he may warn them.” But Abraham’s answer pierces like thunder: “They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.” Oh brethren, hear that line again — let them hear them.

The Watchman’s Burden

English 🇵🇭 Tagalog The Watchman’s Burden Text: Ezekiel 3:17–19 The Watchman’s Burden Brethren, and dear friends who may be seeking the truth — the Lord spoke to Ezekiel and said: "Son of man, I have made thee a watchman unto the house of Israel: therefore hear the word at my mouth, and give them warning from me.

Yet if thou warn the wicked, and he turn not from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul.” (Ezek. 3:17–19) This is not just Ezekiel’s story. This is a warning to all of us who know God’s word. We are watchmen. And with that role comes a burden — a burden of souls. God’s Calling Is Personal The Lord said, “I have made thee a wa...

The Church Built By Jesus Christ In The New testament - Lesson 2

English 🇵🇭 Tagalog ⟵ Previous Next ⟶ Lesson 2: How God Executed His Eternal Plan Through His Son In Building The Church Key Passages: Galatians 4:4; Ephesians 3:11 Galatians 4:4 — “But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law,” Ephesians 3:11 — “According to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Introduction If Lesson 1 established that the church was part of God’s eternal purpose before time began, then this lesson reveals how that divine plan was carried out in time— through His Son, Jesus Christ . The church did not arise from human efforts or institutional religion. It was brought into existence by the life, teachings, death, resurrection, and exaltation of Christ. Every prophecy, type, and shadow throughout the Old Testament pointed toward this glorious fulfillment. God did not act randomly or reactively; He worked with precis...
