Great Expectations | By Pastor Bong Baylon | RLCC Date: Oct 13, 2022 Text: Psalm 40:11-17 Hope is the confident expectation of future good. But our hope in the Lord is not just a general expectation. It is a "great" expectation of what God would do because of who He is. Our knowledge of God borne out of our experience of Him in the past based on His promises in His word gives us hope to expect "great things" from the Lord.

Three Great Expectations 1. The manifestation of His love and faithfulness (vv.11-13). 2. The vindication of His name and honor (vv.14-16). 3. The revelation of His help and deliverance (v.17). ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G16_Cus1VwY

The Need for Better Leaders | By Pastor Bong Baylon | RLCC 1 I commend to you our sister Phoebe, a deacon of the church in Cenchreae. 2 I ask you to receive her in the Lord in a way worthy of his people and to give her any help she may need from you, for she has been the benefactor of many people, including me. 3 Greet Priscilla and Aquila, my co-workers in Christ Jesus. 4 They risked their lives for me. Not only I but all the churches of the Gentiles are grateful to them. 5 Greet also the church that meets at their house. Greet my dear friend Epenetus, who was the first convert to Christ in the province of Asia. 6 Greet Mary, who worked very hard for you. 7 Greet Andronicus and Junia, my fellow Jews who have been in prison with me. They are outstanding among the apostles, and they were in Christ before I was. 8 Greet Ampliatus, my dear friend in the Lord. 9 Greet Urbanus, our co-worker in Christ, and my dear friend Stachys. 10 Greet Apelles, whose fidelity to Christ has stood the test. Greet those who belong to the household of Aristobulus. 11 Greet Herodion, my fellow Jew. Greet those in the household of Narcissus who are in the Lord. 12 Greet Tryphena and Tryphosa, those women who work hard in the Lord. Greet my dear friend Persis, another woman who has worked very hard in the Lord. 13 Greet Rufus, chosen in the Lord, and his mother, who has been a mother to me, too. 14 Greet Asyncritus, Phlegon, Hermes, Patrobas, Hermas and the other brothers and sisters with them. 15 Greet Philologus, Julia, Nereus and his sister, and Olympas and all the Lord’s people who are with them. (Romans 16:1-15) There is a crisis of leadership in the church today. Because of the nature of the church, we need better leaders. Unfortunately, not everyone is willing to step forward to become better leaders. Without better leadership, churches suffer. Ministries are not done well. Small groups do not function as they should. People's needs are not met. The lost are not found. #churchonline #digical #rlccphil Choose your place of grace - https://solo.to/rlccphil Discuss this in your small group - https://rlcc.ph/devotional/ Ask for prayer- https://m.me/rlccphil Send your giving - https://join.rlcc.ph/giving Take the next step - https://bit.ly/3mJy44F ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nAHYxHYA1Nw

#churchonline #digical #rlccphil Injustice is everywhere. We must confront it whenever we can. But sometimes, as believers, we suffer simply because we are following Christ. This is another form of injustice. But how do we respond during such times? Christ Himself shows us how. Visit us online at https://online.rlcc.ph/ ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=66judSEhz0c
