New Series: Seasons

Bloom at Every Season!


In the Philippines, we only have two seasons: rainy season and sunny season. But in the West, they have four seasons: winter, spring, summer, and fall. If you're a farmer, these seasons will dictate your main activity. During spring, you plant; summer, you take care of your crops; fall you harvest; and winter, you renew the land for the next planting season.

These four seasons are reflections of our life jorney.

• Spring is our youth [ages 1 to 20]. It is the Season of Planting.
• Summer is our adulthood [ages 21 to 40]. It is the season of Working.
• Fall is maturity [ages 41 to 60]. It is the season of Harvest.
• Winter is our senior years [ages 61 above]. It is the Season for Renewal.

But these seasons aren't black and white because in each area of your life, you could be going through a different season. Let me ask you this: in your life, what season are you in?
Once you answer that question, you'll know your "mode of engagement" or how you'll approach that specific area of your life. God wants you to life fully in whatever season you're in. The Bible says,

He is like a tree planted by streams of water that yields its fruit in season... In all that he does, he prospers. (Psalms 1:3)

For the next four weeks, we'll share God's word concerning the four seasons of your life: spring, summer, fall, and winter.

I'm so excited to share these powerful messages to you.

Be very blessed,

Bro Buddy Tan

Shocking Summer Specials: Fiesta Cebu!

Super duper blessed! These are the precise words to described last week's Feast. During the second string of the Shocking Summer Specials, the CAP Auditorium was filled with much fun and laughter. People were super blessed with magic, games, music, food, and most of all the love and presence of each other. On top of that, Bro Buddy shared an enlightening talk. He graciously said that if you seek God first in your life, God would surely add joy to your life. He started that in order to be happy, there are three things that you should have:

1. Something to do because all of us are born with a sacred purpose in life;
2. Someone to love because we are all created to love; and
3. Something to look forward to because if we seek God first, He'll give you a vision of your future which is a life of abundance - in this world and in the world to come.

In Matthew 6:3 it says, "But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness

and all these things shall be added unto you." Let God be the number one in your life. Enjoy and laugh with God today.

A Shocking Yet Inspiring Variety Show

Everyone was surprisingly shocked as the Cebu Feast started the new series "Shocking Summer Special!" The first string was so extraordinary and packed with surprises as the LOJF servants, both young once and young ones, showcased their talents in singing and acting. Bro Buddy Tan said that Christians can have fun too because life is so precious it is not given to us by God to be endured but to be enjoyed to the fullest. Happiness is independent from whatever we are facing in life. It is not having the right situation but that makes us happy but having the right perception in a given situation. Psalm 34:8 said: "Taste and see that the Lord is good; blesses is the man who takes refuge in him." This is enough proof that our God is really a Happy God.

New Series: Shocking Summer Specials!

I'd like to welcome all those who have come for the first time!

Welcome also to our brand new series, Shocking Summer Specials.



These next Tuesdays won't be your typical Feast. Every Tuesday will be a big surprise. Our message? Christians can have fun.

I can hear you now, "But Brother Bo, I have so many problems. How Can I be Happy?"

Life is All About Perceptions!

Let me tell you the truth: Happiness isn't about having the right situation but the right perception.

I just bought a second-hand car last week. I found it curious why the owner was selling it - because it was just four years old. When I visited his home, I realized why. In the parking lot, he had newer, bigger, better cars. He had 3 Toyota Land Cruisers and 4 othe beautiful cars. No wonder he was getting rid of his older car.

To him, his car was garbage.
But to me, his car was gold.
The same car, but different perception.
What is your life right now? Garbage or gold?
In the eyes of God, your life is gold.
Look at yourself in that way!

May your dreams come true!

It was a blast ending the series J1N1 with the title of the talk "Guide Them" with a powerful question to everyone. "Are you a bringer or a pointer?". We can bring others closer to God by our stories. Our stories can change the world. When you experience God you cannot stop talking about Him as well because the stories of God is life giving. We co-mission with God! So how can we guide people to God, Bro Buddy gives the 3 steps and they are:

1. Know their story and to know the other person's need
2. Share your story, be authentic and open your heart to others
3. Merge your stories and invite them to journey together in knowing, loving, and serving God.

So share your stories and bring more friends to the happiest place on earth! The Feast!


How Much Does One Man Worth?


Our vibrant worship leader, Bro. Stephen, reminded us of the very important thought provoking question, How much does one man worth?

In today's standard terms and claiming that each chromosome is priced at One Peso each- one average man is priced at - not including the price for his intelligence, talents, emotions, and potentials, Php 4,600,000,000,000.00, around 4.6 Quadrillion pesos.

Friend, frankly speaking, all of us are priceless. That God paid for us through his arms wide spread - the same way Bro. Stephen spread his two arms - as Jesus died on the cross to save for our sins.
