Date: 08/07/2011

Preacher: Frank Acevedo, elder

Series:  John

Key Text: John 1:14a

The Son, identified here as the Word, is God (1:1). The Word became man (1:14) when Jesus was born of the Virgin Mary. The facts of His birth are described in the other Gospels. John states simply that the Word became flesh; that is, He became man in bodily form and in nature.

Preacher: Monty Simao, elder

Series: Ephesians

Key Text: Ephesians 4:11-12

In modern times, we have allowed the idea of pragmatism to enter the church and have started adopting business practices and other unbiblical methods.  Paul tells us not only the leadership structure of a church but also the purpose of the leaders and it looks very different from what we usually see today.
