God calls us to draw near to Him and let go of the things that pull us away from His presence. True humility begins when we surrender our pride, desires, and worldly ways before God.

The world may offer temporary satisfaction, but only God gives lasting peace and purpose. When we humble ourselves, repent sincerely, and seek Him wholeheartedly, He promises to draw near to us.

“Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you.” — James 4:8

Kaharian ng Diyos, Tunay na Kayamanan
Mateo 13:44–46

The Kingdom of God is the greatest treasure we can ever find. It is more valuable than anything this world can offer because it has eternal worth.

I. Tunay na Kayamanan
II. May Kapalit ang Pagsunod kay Cristo
III. Ang Gantimpala ng Diyos ay Walang Hanggan

Many things in this world are temporary, but our relationship with God lasts forever. Following Christ may require sacrifice, but the joy and reward found in Him are far greater than any earthly treasure.

When God becomes our greatest treasure, we gain something eternal that can never be taken away.

As we celebrate the end of this amazing DVBS journey, we are reminded of the story of young David chosen by God not because of appearance, strength, or status, but because of his heart.

Just like David, every child is uniquely chosen by God for a special purpose. Through every lesson, song, game, and story, we pray that these children will continue to grow in faith, courage, and love for the Lord.

Congratulations to all our DVBS kids! May you continue your chosen adventure with God wherever you go.

From persecutor to preacher, the life of Paul reminds us that no one is too far for God’s grace.

Children learned how God changed Paul’s heart and used his life to boldly share the Good News to many people. His story teaches us that when we surrender our lives to God, He can transform us and use us for His glory.

“If anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come.” — 2 Corinthians 5:17

God can use ordinary people to do extraordinary things for His purpose.

Today, the children learned from Esther’s courage, faith, and willingness to stand for what is right even when it was difficult. Just like Esther, we are reminded that God places us where we are for a reason and a purpose.

“And who knows but that you have come to your royal position for such a time as this?” — Esther 4:14

May we all choose bravery, trust God fully, and become a blessing to others wherever He places us.

In Numbers 13–14, twelve spies explored the Promised Land. Ten focused on fear, obstacles, and giants. But Joshua and Caleb chose to trust God instead of fear. While others complained and doubted, they stood firm in faith and believed in God’s promise.

1. Choose faith over fear
2. Stand for God even when others do not
3. Follow God wholeheartedly

Prioritizing God means putting Him first before our plans, emotions, and decisions. When God is first, everything else falls into the right place.

What happens when we run away from God’s call? Even in our disobedience, God’s love still finds a way to reach us.

Today, we learned that God’s mission is never canceled and His mercy is bigger than our mistakes.

Just like Jonah, we are reminded: you can’t outrun God’s purpose, but you can always turn back to His grace.

Grateful to God as two families in Paclas opened their homes for Bible Study.

May these homes continue to be filled with God’s Word, love, and presence as more lives are reached and strengthened in faith.

Celebrating the women whose love reflects the heart of God.

Yesterday, we honor and appreciate all the mothers and mother figures for their unconditional love, sacrifices, prayers, and strength. Thank you for being a blessing to your families, to the church, and to many lives.

“Her children arise and call her blessed.” – Proverbs 31:28

Happy Mother’s Day to all our amazing moms!

𝗘𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝘀 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗱𝘆, 𝗣𝘂𝘁 𝗚𝗼𝗱 𝗙𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁
Luke 14

God has already prepared the invitation, the question is, are we willing to respond?

How do we experience the Banquet of God?
1. By accepting God’s invitation
2. By experiencing the fulfillment of God’s promise
3. By inviting everyone

Many times, God is ready to move in our lives, but excuses keep us from fully responding to Him. When we put God first, we begin to experience the joy, purpose, and fullness He has prepared for us.

Don’t let temporary things distract you from an eternal invitation. Everything is ready, come to God and put Him first.
