Lessons in Ministry | By Pastor Bong Baylon | RLCC 10 When the apostles returned, they reported to Jesus what they had done. Then he took them with him and they withdrew by themselves to a town called Bethsaida, 11 but the crowds learned about it and followed him. He welcomed them and spoke to them about the kingdom of God, and healed those who needed healing. 12 Late in the afternoon the Twelve came to him and said, “Send the crowd away so they can go to the surrounding villages and countryside and find food and lodging, because we are in a remote place here.” 13 He replied, “You give them something to eat.” They answered, “We have only five loaves of bread and two fish—unless we go and buy food for all this crowd.” 14 (About five thousand men were there.) But he said to his disciples, “Have them sit down in groups of about fifty each.” 15 The disciples did so, and everyone sat down. 16 Taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, he gave thanks and broke them. Then he gave them to the disciples to distribute to the people. 17 They all ate and were satisfied, and the disciples picked up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over. (Luke 9:10-17) Serving the Lord is a privilege. But it's also a learning opportunity if we trust in Jesus who calls us to serve Him by faith. There will be many challenges and we may not know what to do in each situation. But the Lord will teach us if we abide in Him and listen to His counsel. #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 Download our free app - https://app.rlcc.ph Have questions? - https://join.rlcc.ph/support ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4UKzByKoCrg

#churchonline #digical #rlccphil We must learn to detach ourselves from everything and everyone that hinders our devotion to God and attach ourselves to Him alone. Visit us online at https://online.rlcc.ph/ ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oej076O6zXE

Practicing silence and solitude regularly as a disciple of Jesus is important for several reasons. Firstly, solitude and silence provide an opportunity to withdraw from the distractions and busyness of life, allowing us to focus our attention on God. In the midst of a fragmented and conflicted world, engaging in prescribed activities such as Bible study, prayer, and church attendance may not have the desired transformative effect. Solitude and silence, on the other hand, create a space for us to be still and know God, redirecting our thoughts, feelings, and choices. Secondly, solitude and silence have the power to rejuvenate and strengthen us. Lengthy periods of solitude and silence, including rest, can be very powerful in restoring our body and soul. By intentionally choosing these disciplines, we demonstrate our willingness to prioritize God and create space for Him to work in our lives. God does not compete for our attention; if we do not withdraw from the things that exhaust us, He may leave us to our own devices. Furthermore, solitude and silence can have a ripple effect on our social settings. As we experience transformation through these disciplines, the effects will reverberate through the communities we find ourselves in. Our newfound rest and strength will impact our interactions with others, allowing us to bring a different perspective and presence into our relationships. In summary, practicing silence and solitude regularly as a disciple of Jesus is important because it enables us to find a new habitual orientation in the Kingdom of God. It allows us to experience God's presence in a deeper way, rejuvenates our body and soul, and has the potential to positively influence our social settings. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X3SwnxFcR-8

Developing Spiritual Leaders | By Pastor Bong Baylon | RLCC 12 One of those days Jesus went out to a mountainside to pray, and spent the night praying to God. 13 When morning came, he called his disciples to him and chose twelve of them, whom he also designated apostles: 14 Simon (whom he named Peter), his brother Andrew, James, John, Philip, Bartholomew, 15 Matthew, Thomas, James son of Alphaeus, Simon who was called the Zealot, 16 Judas son of James, and Judas Iscariot, who became a traitor. (Luke 6:12-16) The most important task of spiritual leaders is to develop other spiritual leaders. Unless this is done, the work of the Lord will not continue. Having activities in the church that are only designed to make people busy will not produce these types of leaders. It must be done intentionally, creatively, and skillfully. How do we develop spiritual leaders? Let's learn this together. #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 Download our free app - https://app.rlcc.ph Have questions? - https://join.rlcc.ph/support ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tAuqOHxZZ60
