Humbly Come Together in the Mind of Christ

We marvel at the “Pentecost power” described in Acts 2: the tongues of fire, thousands converted in a day, and miracles that impacted the Roman Empire. However, before this, it is important to consider how it began in Acts 1. The early church’s transformation did not begin with strategy or powerful evangelistic series, but with…

Over 1,000 Delegates Mark Historic EVC-SM Joint Launch of Mission Reach 2026

To kickstart the year with strategic evangelism goals, the church leaders of the East Visayan Conference and the Samar Mission joined together for a collaborative gathering to orient on and launch Mission Reach 26, a massive Southern Asia-Pacific Division (SSD) initiative, designed to mobilize every church member for the Gospel commission.

Meet Jesus When He Surprises Us

The concept of a “thief in the night” is often associated with fear or loss. Yet, when the Bible uses this imagery to describe the return of Jesus, it isn’t a warning of harm, but a loud call to watchfulness. In a world full of distractions yet rich in breakthroughs, the promise of the Second…

Align with Kingdom Priorities

In our busy lives, we often feel pressured by urgency, managing lists of reports, tests, and deadlines. Acts 1:6–8 shows that struggling to prioritize is not new. Even the disciples, in the presence of the risen Jesus, focused on less important matters. The disciples asked, “Lord, are you at this time going to restore the kingdom…

Knowing Jesus as Our Living Savior

In quiet moments when we think about our faith, we often wonder: Why does my faith sometimes become a plateau? We do the usual things, we go to church, but the excitement we once had for Christ seems to fade. The answer, as we see in the lives of the first disciples, is found in…

Who is Jesus to You?

If we are asked this question, “Who is Jesus to You?” what would be our answer? People around the world give many different answers based on what they have heard, what they have seen in surveys, or what they have read in books. Some also see Him as just an idea, a person from history,…

That Very First Step Towards the Wrong Direction

Life is often measured by its milestones—the grand achievements and the final destinations. However, the real direction of life is rarely decided at the finish line. Instead, it is decided at the beginning. As we go through our personal, professional, and spiritual journeys, we must come to terms with the fact that the most critical moment…

By His Grace, We Dare

As we stand at the threshold of 2026, many of us approach the new year with the usual checklist: healthier eating, more consistent Bible reading, or career milestones. While these are noble pursuits, there is a higher calling—goals we cannot achieve by our own strength, but only by His power and grace. To “dare” is…

Do You Still Need Answers?

Life entails a series of endless questions we want answered. We move through our days asking, “How will I pay this?” Or “Why did this happen?” and eventually, we arrive at the “tormenting questions”—the ones that keep us awake until dawn. In today’s world, where information and technology have advanced significantly, we have become addicted…
