WE SEE CLAY

Sino ang mag-eexpect na ang great treasure ay ilalagay sa isang clay jar?

A treasure deserves something valuable, beautiful, and strong.

📖 2 Corinthians 4:6–7
We have God’s light shining in our hearts, yet we are like fragile clay jars containing this great treasure, so that the power may be clearly seen as coming from God, not us.

We still have struggles.
We still have cracks.
God is still working on us.
But He chose to put His treasure in us.

Moses stuttered.
David sinned.
Rahab had a broken past.
Peter denied Jesus.
Paul persecuted Christians.
Yet God used them.

God doesn’t use the perfect. He uses the willing.

Our mess can become our ministry.
Our scars can become someone else’s roadmap to healing.

WE ARE CLAY FOR:
I. Gospel of God — Magandang Balita
II. Glory of God — Kaluwalhatian ng Diyos
III. Grace of God — Biyaya ng Diyos

WE SEE CREATION
A new creation.

📖 2 Corinthians 5:17
“Anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun!”

DECLARED BEFORE DEMONSTRATED
God declares who we are before we fully live it out.
Righteous.
Holy.
Forgiven.
Redeemed.
Healed.
Saved.

POSITION PRECEDES PERFORMANCE
We are declared righteous before perfect behavior, called holy before flawless performance, and made new before we fully feel new.

IDENTITY PRECEDES ACTIVITY
Our identity is not achieved—it is revealed through the Gospel.
Our spirit is new.
Our body is still mortal.
Our mind is still being renewed.
Our identity is complete; our experience is still catching up.

Renewing our mind means aligning our thoughts with what God has already declared to be true about us.

WE SEE COVENANT

📖 Matthew 26:28
Jesus said, “This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.”

When we talk about the new covenant, we see something very important: FORGIVENESS.

📖 Hebrews 8:9–13
📖 Jeremiah 31:31–34

And one of the greatest promises of the new covenant is:

God forgives our sins and remembers them no more.

And God doesn’t just forgive us and leave us the same.

He gives us a new heart and a new spirit.

📖 Ezekiel 36:22–28
God promised to cleanse His people, remove their heart of stone, give them a heart of flesh, and put His Spirit within them.

God changes us from the inside out.

And because of this new covenant, our lives change.

So, what does this new covenant change in us?

1. STANDING
We know that we are already in Christ.
Our identity and standing before God are not based on our performance. It is based on Jesus Christ.

2. THINKING
It changes the way we think.
We learn to look at things differently with faith, hope, and a new mindset.

Instead of immediately thinking that everything is over, we remember: GOD IS NOT DONE YET.

3. LIVING
We learn to rest in His presence.

Hindi na tayo kailangang mabuhay na parang kailangan nating patunayan ang sarili natin kay Lord.

We can rest because His grace is enough.

4. GIVING
Our giving comes from His grace.
We give because we have first received.

5. PRAYING
Our prayer life changes too.
We pray and declare what God has said.

6. SERVING
We don’t come to church just to be served.
We come to serve.

Because Jesus Himself showed us what it means to serve. And when we understand His grace, our heart becomes willing to serve others.

7. WORSHIPPING
Our worship becomes deeper.

We worship because of who He is and because of what He has already done.

WE SEE NEW COVENANT.
We see His forgiveness, His grace and we live with a new heart, and a new Spirit.

UNVEILED pt. 2

2 Corinthians 3:18
But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the

When Moses saw God’s glory - WHO GOD IS, his face began to radiate.

But the people of Israel were afraid of this that Moses now began to put a veil just to cover his shining face.

The apostle Paul made a reference to this event to remind the corinthian church that the old covenant of the law which had a fading glory, is now surpassed by the new covenant of the Spirit which glory will never fade!

The unveiling happens when we look at Christ and it clearly reveals to us 3 things…

1. Because the veil was removed, we can see God’s glory in the face of Christ! (2 Cor. 4:6)

2. Because the veil was removed, we can see the transformation naturally happens! (2 cor. 3:18)

3. Because the veil was removed, we can see who we are (identity) and who he is (gospel)!

And in the 1st and 2nd chapters of 2 Corinthians, the apostle Paul introduces to us a kind of COMFORT that only God can give us not as the world or anyone can give (2 Corinthians chapters 1 and 2)

A comfort that makes us STABLISHED, reminds us that we are SEALED and shows us we are STANDING because of faith together with our brothers and sisters in Christ.

A new kind of comfort that includes God’s forgiveness and confirmation of His love towards us.

This new kind of comfort removes satan’s grip of offense and hurt in our hearts.

A new kind of comfort that embraces the heart of the offended and heals the heart of the offender.

AIM church, with a veil this is difficult and almost impossible to see. But we have turned to the Lord, our hearts have believed in the Gospel, the veil has been removed!

Let this NEW COMFORT heal you today, embrace your heart and let God’s comfort confirm His so great love for you.

God bless you AIM church family!

We are rooted in good soil. 🌱

Kahit anong pagyanig ang dumating sa buhay natin, kapag rooted tayo kay Lord, hindi tayo basta-basta natitinag.

When we are rooted in Him, His presence changes the way we live and affects the people around us.

That’s what it means to radiate His glory.

Think about the sun. Hindi natin nahahawakan, pero ramdam natin yung effect ng init at liwanag.

Ganoon din ang presence ni God. He dwells in us, and His presence should be evident in the way we live.

Nagshi-shine tayo, hindi dahil sa atin.
Nagra-radiate tayo, hindi dahil perfect tayo.
We reflect His glory because He is in us.

In the Old Testament, the Hebrew word for glory is “Kabod,” which carries the idea of weight and significance. It makes us ask: Who is He?

He is generous, gracious, great, merciful, and faithful.

In the New Testament, “Doxa” speaks of dignity and honor. This connects with 2 Corinthians 3:18, where Paul says that with unveiled faces, we look at the glory of the Lord and are transformed into His image from glory to glory.

The Word of God becomes like a mirror. Kapag tumitingin tayo sa salamin, nakikita natin kung ano ang nasa atin. Ganoon din when we look into God's Word. We see who He is, and He changes us to become more like Him.

What does it mean to have an unveiled face?
It means we no longer have to hide.

No more fear.
No more pretending.
No more running from God because of shame.

Because of Christ, the veil has been removed.

In Exodus 34, Moses came down from God's presence with his face shining. His encounter with God became visible.

And that's the invitation: to spend time in His presence until His character becomes visible in our lives.

Not so people will see how good we are, but so they can see how good He is.

When we receive His love, we reflect His love.
When we experience His grace, we extend grace.
When we encounter His glory, we radiate His glory.

Rooted in Him. Transformed by Him. Radiating His glory. 🤍
