Missionaries to Pray for This Month – Calvary Chapel Bacolod

Billie & Pastor Joe Rosmarino: Greetings from the Philippines, Calvary Chapel Bacolod still remains a simple mission for the LORD, His people and His kids. Calvary Chapel is growing in the LORD, by His grace. The mission is full of American and Filipino missionaries and a bunch of children that love Jesus. Yielded to the Holy Spirit’s leading, for the glory of the LORD. Calvary Chapel is a threefold ministry: a Church fellowship, Calvary Chapel Bacolod (CCB); a Children’s Home (CCCH); and a Christian School, Calvary Chapel Christian School (CCCS).

Samaritan’s Purse Operation Christmas Child

It’s that time of year again (How many days till Christmas?) It’s time to bless the children around the world with gifts and most importantly with the gift of Jesus!

This is a way of entering another country with the gospel without actually going. Collection week this year is November 16-23. Boxes will be available in the foyer very soon. Please see Debbie Mount with any questions.

Blessed Assurance

As a believer, we have a degree of confidence and assurance in dealing with all aspects of life that non-believers simply do not understand. The Holy Spirit has been pointing this out to me in countless ways lately. Everywhere I turn I am struck by yet another example. Many years ago, Fanny Crosby must have felt the same way when she penned the hymn “Blessed Assurance”. The first verse goes as follows:

“Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine
O what a foretaste of glory divine
Heir of salvation, purchase of God
Born of His Spirit, washed in His blood”

What a marvelous thing the Creator of the universe has done for each and every one of us personally. All that power, all that might, yet He has all His love focused on each of us. How can we even begin to think that our problems are too big, that our worries are too overwhelming, our lives too lost, for the Almighty God to handle? He not only can do it, He wants to! How can we know this and not tell everyone that we can? How can we know this and not praise and worship Him with everything we are and everything we do? The chorus of that old hymn goes like this:

“This is my story
This is my song
Praising my Savior all the day long”

May you make this your story. May you make this your song. May you praise your Savior, all the day long.

2 Timothy 4:18 “And the Lord will deliver me from every evil work and preserve me for His heavenly kingdom. To Him be glory forever and ever. Amen!”

Need some more assurance? Try some of these verses:

John 3:16 “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.”

2 Corinthians 5:18–19 “Now all things are of God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation, ¹⁹ that is, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing their trespasses to them, and has committed to us the word of reconciliation.”

Philippians 1:6 “being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ”

As well as John 10:26–29, John 14:16-18, John 14:25-30, John 17:12-15, 1 Corinthians 10:13-14, James 4:7, Hebrews 6:17-20, 1 Peter 1:3-6, 1 John 5:18, Revelation 3:10, 2 Corinthians 1:22, 2 Thessalonians 3:3 and countless more.

May God’s assurance touch you.
