We are City-Focused
Our
church
values
our
city.
We
want
to
be
a
church
that
extends
its
area
of
responsibility
beyond
the
congregation.
We
want
others
to
not
only
be
aware
that
we
exist,
but
be
glad
that
we
do,
whether
or
not
they
are
part
of
the
church
or
not.
This
is
why
we
have
made
it
a
point
to
be
relevant
in
our
neighboring
community.
We
have
very
close
relationships
with
St.
Lukes
Medical
Center
in
Global
City,
as
we
serve
their
employees
and
patients
through
visitation,
prayer,
and
midweek
service
at
their
chapel.
Weve
also
partnered
with
the
Barangay
Fort
Bonifacio
government
and
supported
projects
in
our
area.
We
joined
the
launch
of
a
new
playground
last
October
10,
as
well
as
the
reading
room
inauguration
last
November
27.
We
pray
our
city
will
truly
flourish
holistically
as
a
community,
and
we
want
to
do
what
we
can
to
see
this
vision
a
reality.

away for work. This has meant sacrificing relationships. Are you worried who will take care of your loved ones while youre gone? God is there. He has them in His hands. 2. Love (vv. 14-15) Ive always believed that God had a plan, but I used to think that if I make a mistake, Gods Plan A becomes Plan B. Walking on egg shells, I got some things right, but not everything, and eventually, the pressure to not make mistakes set me up for greater mistakes. If what I thought was correct, then Gods Plan wont only be B for me but will go way past Z, eventually leading me to despair whether Hes still got me in His plans. The Good News is yes, He does. This does not mean we are free from Gods discipline, but even His discipline shows that His love is always there. Have you committed mistake/s and you feel like this has separated you from God? Consider these mistakes as proof of our need for a Savior. The Good News is He has come.
3. Joy (v. 16) Many of us work hard to amount to something, whether it be fortune, fame, or even to matter to our family. We all want this, and to a certain extent, part of life is doing our best to succeed. How wonderful it is to know then that God wants to give us this, and when He does, He means forever? This takes unnecessary pressure off our backs and ushers in joy beyond what we can ever imagine and earn for ourselves. Are you sad, lonely, or struggling waiting for something for a long, long, time? Dont be. God has your house taken cared of. If you feel you have waited long, imagine God waiting forever to have us. The angel in Luke 2:10-11 got it right when he said, Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you. Jesus birth shows us that with Christmas, there is no plan B. Together, let us trust in His great faithfulness. I wish you a blessed holiday season. May the Lords peace, love, and joy, be upon you, now as forever. Amen.
This text assures us three things: 1. Peace (vv. 12-13) For those who are facing death, or have experienced the tragedy of a departed loved one, Gods plan doesnt change even when we die. I will push liberally with the thought that sometimes days are over might not be physical for us, but geographical. There are many of us, our friends, family, who have gone
