Revisiting Our Core Values
Committed to Strengthening Families 02/24/2008

Is your home built on the right foundation? Once, the Lord Jesus warned concerning building the right foundation because of the inevitable storms of life. Jesus teaches that in order for the home to survive the storms of life, it needs to be founded in the Bible. If anyone insists on ignoring the Word of God, their home is bound to sure destruction.
Committed to Building Relationships 02/17/2008

Time and again, we need to re-examine our understanding of the church. I believe there are many who make the mistake of referring to the church simply as the place they go to every Sunday. However, when you go to the New Testament, it is quite clear that the church refers to a group of people who are bound together by their faith in Christ and their resolve to worship and serve God.

Do you believe that our church is set for a great future? If you are in doubt, you need to listen to the words of Jesus Christ when He said, “I will build my church and the gates of Hades will not overcome it†(Matthew 16:18). Indeed, every church of Jesus Christ has sufficient provisions not just to survive, but thrive in this world.
Committed to Returning God's Tithes 01/20/2008

Would you be more encouraged to attend our church, Bible Church International, if we don’t have the collection of tithes and offerings? You see, there are some people who have the tendency to think that the sure way to fill up a church is to avoid the teaching of tithing. However, personally, I would do my best to avoid a church that does not teach me how to be obedient to God and keeps me from experiencing God’s blessings. This is the reason why I teach tithing without apologies. I really believe that God has taught this truth in the Bible.
Committed to Equip Leaders 01/13/2008

Throughout the Bible, we can find God using ordinary men and women to carry out extraordinary missions. They were God’s chosen leaders equipped for special tasks. In our church, we want to make sure that we provide the opportunities for our people to share in the Kingdom work. We believe that all believers are ministers. Ministry is not limited to pastors and church staff, but for all who compose the church. However, we also believe that in order for God’s people to serve effectively, we have the responsibility to equip them. This is the reason why we have a core value that revolves around this truth. Let’s spend sometime this morning examining how we can be involved and then equipped as church leaders.

We as a church consider our corporate worship as important. We are committed in providing worship that is directed to God alone, worship that will facilitate learning about God and His will, and worship which will stimulate praise and thanksgiving.
