Rosario Church

My husband and I went to the first service in CCF then kuya Jerry and Anjo picked us up from church to have lunch. We went to Rosario church after. We had the breaking of bread, then the teaching meeting. Lelan shared a short devotion in the first part of the Sunday service.

Before kuya Jerry shared the message, he, Anjo, Lelan, and I sang the two songs we practiced last night. Kuya Jerry talked about the church as one body. What struck me the most is the 1st Corinthians 12:22 verse: “No, much rather, those members of the body which seem to be weaker are necessary.”

Sometimes I feel like the things I do for the Lord are small and don’t matter much but today I am reminded that no matter how small our contribution is, it is big in God’s eyes and it is necessary. It is needed.

Believers have different gifts. Some gifts are seen by everyone and some gifts are hardly noticed but they are just as important. Like the human body, some parts are not seen. The internal organs are hidden from our sight but they are absolutely necessary. Just because what we do for the Lord are not seen by people, it doesn’t mean that it’s not important.

“And those members of the body which we think to be less honorable, on these we bestow greater honor; and our unpresentable parts have greater modesty,” 1 Corinthians 12:23

Also, we should serve not to be seen by men but to please God.

“And whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Christ.” Colossians 3:23-24

We should ask God what our part is in the body of Christ.

After the teaching meeting, we joined them in their Christmas party. It’s nice that Lelan witnessed the typical way Filipinos celebrate parties. We had fun! What an eventful weekend it is.
