Speaker: Bro. Mark Oliver Text: Acts 3:1-10 New Series: Embracing a Mission with Purpose. A Mission Full of Opportunities. 3 One day Peter and John were going up to the temple at the time of prayer—at three in the afternoon. 2 Now a man who was lame from birth was being carried to the temple gate called Beautiful, where he was put every day to beg from those going into the temple courts. 3 When he saw Peter and John about to enter, he asked them for money. 4 Peter looked straight at him, as did John. Then Peter said, “Look at us!” 6 Then Peter said, “Silver or gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, walk.” 7 Taking him by the right hand, he helped him up, and instantly the man’s feet and ankles became strong. An interruption to a scheduled appointment or activity is most of

10:30 am at main Sanctuary 675 S. White Ave. Pomona ca 91766 The Seven Last Words.

Speaker: Bro. Alex Cruz Text: Isaiah 44:6-9, 21-28 God is Omnipotent “I am the First and the Last; there is no other God. 7 Who is like me? Let him step forward and prove to you his power. Let him do as I have done since ancient times when I established a people and explained its future. 8 Do not tremble; do not be afraid. Did I not proclaim my purposes for you long ago? You are my witnesses—is there any other God? No! There is no other Rock—not one!”

Speaker: Bro. Mark Oliver Text: Psalm 7:1-13 God is Just 3 Lord my God, if I have done this and there is guilt on my handsi— 4 if I have repaid my ally with evil or without cause have robbed my foe— 5 then let my enemy pursue and overtake me; let him trample my life to the ground Sometimes we feel that we are unnecessarily judged by other people when they do not know all the facts about what had occurred in your experience. They go by hearsay or make deductions from off of how they think you are but they are all wrong. This had happened to King David several times. He was even blamed for the death of King Saul by the followers/ relatives of Saul. But King David did not take vengeance on them nor did he raise a hand against them. His reasoning was, if God allowed them to do this, there must be a valid reason. And that's what we should be thinking. That God always has a purpose in these things happening. We might not understand but we can trust God. Though David did not understand the reason, he trusted that God will redeem him in that situation.v8 Vindicate me, Lord, according to my righteousness according to my integrity, O Most High. God is just and we will trust that though we may be blamed or accused of something, the truth will always come out. God will also vindicate us if we are wrongly accused.

Speaker: Pastor Jun Cardenas Text: 1 John 4:7-19 God is Love 9 This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. 10 This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. 13 This is how we know that we live in him and he in us: He has given us of his Spirit. 14 And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent his Son to be the Savior of the world. 17 This is how love is made complete among us so that we will have confidence on the day of judgment: In this world we are like Jesus. 18 There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love. 19 We love because he first loved us. We think we know what it means when we read that God is love. However, our concept of God as love is reflective of our personal perspective of what love is which in reality is far removed from what God has revealed himself to be. God's love is not an emotional love. The word in Greek used is Agape. A sacrificial type of love. Verse 10 clarifies that for us 10 This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. Romans 5:8 makes it much clearer the kind of love God has for us: Romans 5:8 8 But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Its definitely a sacrificial love. God knew that we cannot save ourselves. That is why, He himself provided a payment, in His terms a sacrifice so that our sins will be paid for. It was His only begotten son (John 3:16). He has also given us a proof that we are living in His love v13 This is how we know that we live in him and he in us: He has given us of his Spirit. 14 And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent his Son to be the Savior of the world. We have the Holy Spirit who enables us to live a Holy Life as we submit to Him. He also has given us the assurance of that salvation stated in v17 17 This is how love is made complete among us so that we will have confidence on the day of judgment. His love is made complete in us. 1 John 3:1-2 states that we have become children of God. So as children the expectation for us is to be like Him. Again the mode or reason to be victorious is not by our own ability but by the ability God has infused in us by the Holy Spirit 2 Peter 1 3 His divine power has given us everything we need for a godly life through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness. 4 Through these he has given us his very great and precious promises, so that through them you may participate in the divine nature, having escaped the corruption in the world caused by evil desires. The advise is to make every effort to have the qualities that the Holy spirit is instilling in us 2 Peter 1:5-7. 8 For if you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Speaker: Bro. Joven Calingo Text: Psalm 99:1-9. God is Holy The Lord reigns, let the nations tremble; he sits enthroned between the cherubim, let the earth shake. 2 Great is the Lord in Zion; he is exalted over all the nations. 3 Let them praise your great and awesome name— he is holy.

Speaker: Genesis Alfonzo Text: Acts 17:16-18; 22-23; 30-31 Jesus Shared 22 Then Paul stood in the midst of Mars' hill, and said, Ye men of Athens, I perceive that in all things ye are too superstitious. 23 For as I passed by, and beheld your devotions, I found an altar with this inscription, To The Unknown God. Whom therefore ye ignorantly worship, him declare I unto you. Paul was in Greece where he had an opportunity to share Jesus to a group of people composed of idolators, Religious people but were lost, Pleasure seekers and intellectuals. So he was addressing a crowd of different beliefs and cultures. But Paul remained focused since he saw all of these people as lost souls needing a Savior. It is our responsibility as followers of Jesus to keep our eyes open, be sensitive to the different needs of those around us, and boldly take every opportunity to present to them the gift of salvation that the Gospel brings. We should be ready to share Jesus!
