We just finished our second installment in our series www.victory last weekend. I am posting my sermon notes last Sunday. Our topic was: Make Disciples.
Matt. 28:19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,
Matt. 28:20 and teaching them [...]

Prov. 3:9  Honor the LORD with your wealth, with the firstfruits of all your crops;
Prov. 3:10  then your barns will be filled to overflowing, and your vats will brim over with new wine.
Contrary to a religious mindset that money is intrinsically evil, we can honor God through our wealth. Maybe, the first thing that comes [...]

Have you ever felt like running out of gas in your walk with God? You’re doing a lot for Him and yet you feel so distant. It’s like riding a stationary bike – you are busy spinning and sweating but you are not going anywhere.
When a religious leader asked Jesus what the greatest commandment is, [...]

A happy marriage can be elusive to some but a reality to others. I married Shirley in 1990 at the age of 22. And God gave us wonderful children after almost twenty years of marriage- Bea, Jerome (+), Ana and Andrea. I am so grateful to God for the wife that He’s given me. We [...]

Shirley and I were watching the memorial service for Michael Jackson this morning. We were  touched by the eulogy given to him by his friends and family.  I was inspired to write something. Here goes:

Whether you’re [...]

I am so grateful for this church. I got saved  23 years ago as a sophomore student and got involved in the life of the church. I’ve seen the church grow from a handful of people to now almost 40 thousand (in Metro Manila) in 13 locations. Back in 1986, we knew everyone in church [...]

Had a great time in church service yesterday. The presence of God was there. We started with a new series entitled www.victory (The what, why and who of Victory). This month we are celebrating 25 years of Victory as a church. We are culminating it with a celebration in Araneta Coliseum on July 24. Get [...]

This past week I have seen 4 funerals of people that I know. Two of them are family members of church members and the other 2 are celebrities – Farrah Fawcett and Michael Jackson.
One thing I notice about funerals is that friends and relatives would  honor their dead through eulogy which is a tribute to [...]

I was checking my facebook yesterday when I saw many of the status notifications say that MJ is dead. I asked myself, who’s MJ? Michael Jordan? Magic Johnson? Mick Jagger? Then I turned on CNN and saw the breaking news. It was Michael Jackson.

Michael Jackson died at 50. He was supposed to start what he [...]
