PERSON TO PERSON
"LIGHT OF OUR PATH"

(Ay s a Christian, I take it on faith that God has His

reasons for all that He allows. Though Scripture
reveals much, it also leaves much unexplained. So
there remains a lot of mysteries. The first and most necessary
step for me to do is honestly admit that I don’t know
everything. My oft-repeated praise is “The Bible says it, I
believe it, and that settles it!” Though that phrase works well

. a.
when just affirming trust of the Bible in general, when it comes
to really understanding a passage, I admit there were many
ad Seti times I felt baffled and curious to find an answer.

-
po : a Deuteronomy 29:29 says, “The secret things belong to the Lord
| ah > our God, but those that are revealed belong to us and our
Ss. “ ' ' descendants forever, so that we might obey all the words ofthis

j
jf

ie a*ro law”. God’s goal is not to satisfy our curiosity, but to change us
according to His will. Thus, obedience is the purpose of God’s
revelation to us. Knowledge isn’t the goal; obedience is.

serve no purpose in helping us obey and follow Him. What we

For every question you’d love for God to answer, ask yourself,

2In the morning, O Lord, You hear my voice; In the morning | lay my requests before You and wait
in expectation.

I. UPRIGHT GOD

“You are not a God who takes pleasure in evil; with You the wicked cannot dwell.
‘The arrogant cannot stand in Your presence; You hate all who do wrong.
°You destroy those who tell lies; bloodthirsty and deceitful men the Lord abhors.

7But | by your mercy, will come into your house; In reverence will | bow down to your holy temple.

me.
9Not a word from their mouth can be trusted; their hearts is filled with destruction. Their throat is
an open grave; with their tongue they speak deceit.
*°Declare them guilty, O God! Let their intrigues be their downfall. Banish them for their many sins,
for they have rebelled against You.
“But let all who take refuge in You be glad; let them ever sing for joy. Spread Your protection over
them, that those who love Your name may rejoice in You.

“For surely, O Lord, You bless the righteous; You surround them with Your favor as with a shield.

Subic Bay Community of Faith started in the surmmer of 2010 when a vision of church planting in
Subic Bay Freeport Zone was laid in the hearts of John Phillip and Mei Chua Chiaco. On
September 25, 2010, thirty-five people mei for the first worship service with Rev. Noel Panioja,
assisted by his loving wife Jenny Pantoja serving as the Lead Pastor/Church Planter of the team.
A year later, Rev. Maurice Adam Rivera was called io continue the spiritual leadership of SBCF.

While the church over the years continued to participate in numerous community-based
ministries such as outreaches, medical missions, church planting, fellowship groups, ministering
to the ministers, and other similar activities, the Lord steered the leadership of His Church to
prioritize discipleship and focus on the internal growth of those called to SBCF. Through His
leading and voice, the mission of SBCF became clear: to Develop Dynamic Disciples by leading
others to cultivate their inner life through Christ Jesus.

Today, SBCF continues to champion the call to Christian authenticity by prioritizing our own
relationship with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. We encourage people of all ages and
backgrounds to come and experience the joy and resteciness only Christ can bring. Worship with
us, and come as you are! Welcome io the SBCF family!

OUR 2020 THEME: “INTENTIONAL CHURCH”

Christianity over the years has been plagued with a spiritually-drying disease known as laziness and complacency.
It has been one of the top reasons why many Christians today are unable to live life appropriately reflecting the faith
they profess. Even worse, spending time iin the Word and iin prayer is seen by many as unnecessary. The
consequence of this Is distance from God and a life of spiritual mediocrity and constant compromise to the ways of
this world. It degrades our ability to be content and see the workings of God in all situations, ancl significantly
reduces our empathy with our fellow men,

But, Christ did not redeem us to live life this way! He designed us to live a life overflowing with love, grace, integrity,
patience, kindness, joy, and contentment: and inot only to live these things within ourselves, but to share
intentionally with others - both ln words and in actions! More importantly, He redeemed us so we could live
walking hand in hand with Him daily!
a life
Thus, our theme for the year 2020 is "INTENTIONAL CHURCH" As a church family, we say NO to spiritual mediocrity
and compromise, and YES to intentionally growing more and more In the knowledge and understanding of our Lord
and Savior Jesus Christ! We say YES to growing iin our relationships with our families and our church community, We
say YES in helping build up the Body of Christ! And we say YES to spreading this love to our community and social
circles so that they too may see Christ in us! We say YES to an INTENTIONAL SBCF this 2020!
