00:00:50

00:01:02
tapas requires the two boys already in
00:01:04
singles for Christ
00:01:05
Lara isn't the youth for christ so we
00:01:07
have committed ourselves that as for me
00:01:10
and our household we will serve the Lord
00:01:14
okay Couples for Christ you know for
00:01:18
this this is why I suppose it lead my by
00:01:21
my English introduction to you is you
00:01:23
know coppice protoss is on sale today
00:01:26
how many of you likes to go on sale and
00:01:30
only one the rest sisters you also like
00:01:34
to go on sale right but you know the
00:01:37
difference between your going on sale
00:01:39
with material world
00:01:41
material things and going on sale with
00:01:43
Couples for Christ compost where cash is
00:01:45
free whenever he goes on sale the malls
00:01:48
is always yet to pick right so this is
00:01:52
sale today
00:01:53
okay so I'll explain to you what sale
00:01:55
means later okay so but I just briefly
00:01:59
tell you
00:02:00
compost rock right so what is Couples
00:02:02
for Christ basically started in June of
00:02:06
1981
00:02:07
back in Manila Philippines with 16
00:02:10
Campos so they are actually spinoff from
00:02:13
one of them
00:02:14
ministries in the Philippines called the
00:02:16
guy on and on and on and then of course
00:02:19
the scope balls aside okay why should be
00:02:21
why can't we just come up with our own
00:02:24
ministry that basically defense for
00:02:26
family and basically for the
00:02:30
strengthening the family like so sixteen
00:02:33
couples in 1981 so whooping intended for
00:02:36
the renewal and strengthening of the
00:02:37
Christian family life so that's the
00:02:39
primary goal why these decided to help
00:02:44
this community so remember we are highly
00:02:47
evangelistic and highly charismatic and
00:02:50
that's why if you notice every time we
00:02:52
start our event or our session we start
00:02:54
with outpacing worship and that's why
00:02:56
brother census I encourage you don't be
00:02:59
shy if you are prompted by your spirit
00:03:02
to jump for joy to raise your hand to
00:03:04
plop to jump to so don't be too
00:03:09
concerned about what other people here
00:03:11
is because we will not laugh at you
00:03:13
everybody here is a fool for Christ st.
00:03:17
Paul says I'm a fool for Christ whose
00:03:18
fool are you you want to be a fool for
00:03:20
the world you want to be a proof for
00:03:21
that evil one or you want to be a
00:03:24
fruitful price for us we are fools for
00:03:26
Christ
00:03:27
so we are more than a million already
00:03:29
worldwide hey and basically you know
00:03:33
this road map all the things that we're
00:03:38
doing home base parish base is all the
00:03:41
same everywhere not just in Singapore
00:03:42
Philippines us know a chapter on so I
00:03:46
appear just different continents some of
00:03:49
the countries that we are the helpers
00:03:51
for Christ so North America South
00:03:53
America Asia Europe Africa so it just
00:03:58
imagine as we are doing our Christian
00:04:01
life program here in Singapore even in
00:04:03
this household a lot of field is also in
00:04:06
ongoing okay so we are recognized by the
00:04:11
Vatican so we have the private
00:04:14
international station with a Pontifical
00:04:16
right that was back in 2000 so we are
00:04:20
legal entity recognized by the Vatican
00:04:23
so all our talks has been sanctioned by
00:04:26
the Vatican and approved by the Vatican
00:04:28
in Singapore we started back in 1987 so
00:04:31
of course the goal is also to strengthen
00:04:34
Christian marriages and families that
00:04:37
was in back in 1987 and we our
00:04:41
partnership with archdiocese and
00:04:43
Commission for families are simply
00:04:44
called ACF and we are also registered
00:04:47
under the registry of Singapore you know
00:04:50
Singapore there is three if you gather
00:04:52
without any license or permit you can
00:04:55
get a charge of illegal assembly so we
00:04:59
are illegal in getting here that was
00:05:01
received back in March - Oh fine so the
00:05:06
CFC and Family Ministries was actually
00:05:08
started back in 93 1993 also in the
00:05:12
Philippines so that's when we started to
00:05:13
help the different family ministries
00:05:15
from the kids for Christ which is king
00:05:18
children CFC members children with ages
00:05:20
4 to 12 followed by the Youth for Christ
00:05:22
12 to 21
00:05:24
then the singles for Christ 21 to 40 and
00:05:28
then we have the hardness of the Lord
00:05:29
and the service of those single men
00:05:31
single woman cannot come with their
00:05:34
husband or their wives or already
00:05:36
divorce or even
00:05:38
margulies we don't or even unmarried
00:05:44
okay and that's why we are proud to say
00:05:48
actually the focus price already a one
00:05:50
to two ministry from very young the very
00:05:52
old we have a ministry for each and
00:05:55
every one of us okay so some pictures of
00:05:59
the different ministry so it's required
00:06:02
should surprise single surprise a
00:06:06
missile or service of the Lord and our
00:06:09
parent
00:06:10
Discover's precise this one was taken
00:06:15
during our recent Community Day it's a
00:06:19
picture with our North to readdress and
00:06:23
of course our North one Brethren's I saw
00:06:28
there's we just don't play actually we
00:06:30
do have fun as well in everything that
00:06:33
we do but of course we are encouraged to
00:06:35
live our life as daily as we grow with
00:06:38
our personal relationship with the Lord
00:06:40
and with our brothers and sisters we are
00:06:42
encouraged also to know to continue
00:06:45
growing in our faith in our spirituality
00:06:48
know and that's why we really need to
00:06:52
apply all the tools that we have learned
00:06:54
today prayer study service fellowship
00:06:57
and the sacraments our aim for each and
00:07:01
every member in this community is of
00:07:03
course to grow in holiness the Lord says
00:07:07
be holy for I am holy be perfect for I
00:07:09
am perfect right but do you are you
00:07:13
convinced that you can be holy that you
00:07:15
can be perfect are you yes if you are
00:07:20
convicted that you can be holding be
00:07:21
perfect that's very good answer brothers
00:07:24
and sisters but sometimes a lot of fast
00:07:27
things or we can never reach holiness we
00:07:29
can never reach perfection why because
00:07:31
only God is perfect
00:07:33
God only God is holy but striving to be
00:07:37
holy striving to be perfect it's still
00:07:40
very much possible and that's what we
00:07:43
are aiming for although in our mind we
00:07:46
cannot reach perfection organic-rich
00:07:47
holiness but as long as our heart saying
00:07:50
I want to be holy I want to be perfect
00:07:53
that's good enough for the Lord the Lord
00:07:55
will be very happy right so that's our
00:07:59
mission now in life not to grow in
00:08:02
holiness first and then after that what
00:08:05
did they what the top five and toxics a
00:08:08
module to living an authentic Christian
00:08:11
life top five one to love our God with
00:08:16
all our heart mind strength soul and to
00:08:21
love our neighbors as ours
00:08:23
and that's basically our mission I mean
00:08:28
that's what God is will for our for each
00:08:31
and every one of our lives but he also
00:08:33
extended beyond so we're gonna just be
00:08:37
contended that I okay I know God I love
00:08:39
God I serve God I love my neighbors you
00:08:42
cannot just be good telly with that
00:08:43
what's the next thing that we need to do
00:08:46
well aftermath after you hear must the
00:08:49
priest will always see the pace was the
00:08:51
last place that the priest was saying go
00:08:54
out and yeah proclaim the good news to
00:09:01
others but ties them in to make
00:09:03
disciples of all nations baptising the
00:09:05
name the father the Holy Spirit the Son
00:09:07
and Holy Spirit it
00:09:10
so basically comes from Christ it's a
00:09:13
way of life until we learn how to
00:09:16
embrace this way of life this gonna be
00:09:19
difficult it's gonna be difficult for us
00:09:21
we always think about others too many
00:09:23
activities nobility or I don't have time
00:09:26
for prayer meetings and all that we'll
00:09:29
always have that thinking in mind but if
00:09:32
you embrace this life that the Lord has
00:09:34
given you through this community of
00:09:36
copper supplies everything I'm not
00:09:38
saying it's gonna be easy
00:09:40
there's still gonna be difficulties but
00:09:42
the good part is you know that the Lord
00:09:45
will not leave you alone you know I also
00:09:49
mister if I just quickly share with you
00:09:51
I've been out of jobs since 2011 if I
00:09:55
had even my hands I can easily just say
00:09:57
okay I give up okay we go back to
00:09:59
Philippines but what will happen to us
00:10:01
if we didn't trust in God's promise and
00:10:05
plan for us right but the Lord even
00:10:09
despite the difficulties of not having a
00:10:11
permanent job is still here now is 2000
00:10:15
2019 right so it's only because of God's
00:10:19
blessings Grace's upon us and that's why
00:10:22
we try to give back to him by doing the
00:10:25
service that they have told us to do and
00:10:27
I say do all the service that is your be
00:10:29
go look but it's up to you if you think
00:10:32
you have the capacity
00:10:33
no you can you can try but always think
00:10:38
that this is a way of you eating back to
00:10:40
what the Lord has blessed you with no
00:10:43
other reason for you to give back to the
00:10:45
Lord
00:10:46
okay so what we are told to do so we
00:10:51
know that the family is a basic unit of
00:10:55
society's God's plan saint john paul ii
00:10:58
says the humanity passes by the way of
00:11:01
the family without families there can be
00:11:03
no society but you cannot have a family
00:11:06
if individuals do not commit to be
00:11:10
husbands and wives right so everything
00:11:13
has its own proper place so we need to
00:11:17
have that so there are we know that
00:11:19
there are married force in the world
00:11:20
today that seek to destroy the family in
00:11:23
the old age is simply you know people
00:11:25
are too smart too intelligent they
00:11:27
always find a way to make around
00:11:29
something right the Bible says once a
00:11:34
man and a woman woman joined in
00:11:38
matrimony nobody else can they nobody
00:11:41
can separate them right because that's
00:11:45
God's plan for her for all of us but
00:11:47
then even in the Old Testament Moses was
00:11:49
questioned by the people why did Moses
00:11:51
agree to help the divorce and what is to
00:11:54
Moses replied because our hearts are
00:11:57
very hard we are to you know difficult
00:12:02
people are too difficult and that's why
00:12:05
even the simple term as last time
00:12:09
because win win win Papa come together
00:12:12
without the sacrament of matrimony in
00:12:15
the old days we called it living in sin
00:12:18
right living in sin but what did people
00:12:21
do to justify that this one is okay they
00:12:25
dropped the sin and they just told it
00:12:27
living in everybody says okay living in
00:12:31
there's no sin there it's perfectly
00:12:34
normal but that is not God God's plan
00:12:37
for us and that's why it until today we
00:12:40
are encouraged if we are not married in
00:12:43
the church we try to find means and
00:12:45
to get married in the church even if we
00:12:48
already married in Sidon Hey
00:12:52
CLC has been raised by God to defend
00:12:54
this work our task is to strengthen our
00:12:56
family life and this is our very reason
00:13:01
for being how to accomplish our mission
00:13:09
by of course by working for the renewal
00:13:13
of indeed it was it goes first and a
00:13:14
dutiful that's why we are inviting you
00:13:16
even you are a couple you're considered
00:13:19
individuals in your decision will be as
00:13:21
your own personal decision then families
00:13:25
and then the church and then the global
00:13:27
on a global basis by providing a strong
00:13:30
support environment for our members so
00:13:33
once you after next week the last stop
00:13:35
if you commit to be part of this
00:13:38
community we will give you the necessary
00:13:39
tools and support to help you really to
00:13:43
embrace the life that the Lord has given
00:13:46
us to do this community so the CFC
00:13:50
Vision everybody has efficient even our
00:13:52
community a sufficient and initially our
00:13:55
vision was families to be fabulous in
00:13:57
the Holy Spirit that will renew the face
00:13:58
of the earth but ever since it was
00:14:02
expanded to be expounded so at least
00:14:04
expanded today at least it can cover the
00:14:07
entirety of what the Lord is calling us
00:14:11
to do so now our vision is actually
00:14:14
moved by the Holy Spirit
00:14:16
one with the Catholic Church last
00:14:19
witness Christ's love and service
00:14:20
troposphere price is a United global
00:14:23
family of evangelizers that sets the
00:14:26
world on fire with the fullness of God's
00:14:28
transforming love right plenty but again
00:14:32
for me I find it now I find it easier if
00:14:36
I find something important I tend to
00:14:39
remember it but sometimes if I don't
00:14:40
feel that it's important I easily forget
00:14:43
it you you remind me one time I read it
00:14:45
one time maybe after a few milliseconds
00:14:48
but it is something important definitely
00:14:50
you can remember it last time in ER all
00:14:52
SS we were asked to sing our Father in
00:14:56
Latin I was telling myself no way I can
00:14:59
remember I can memorize all the lyrics
00:15:02
in Latin but you know but every day
00:15:04
every time you go to Mass you hear this
00:15:06
eventually you will remember eventually
00:15:09
you can sing it already so it's the same
00:15:11
thing it just takes practice
00:15:14
hey so we are to raise families in the
00:15:18
Holy Spirit that will renew the face of
00:15:20
the earth this is the Lord's mission for
00:15:22
each and every one of us in this
00:15:24
community of compost for Christ ok what
00:15:28
is our mission so the visual is
00:15:30
basically what's our goal and then the
00:15:33
mission is how to achieve that goal so
00:15:35
basically we have two missions one is to
00:15:38
build the Church of the home and the
00:15:41
second is to fill the Church of the pool
00:15:44
building the Church of the home again is
00:15:47
the Family Ministries KFC hold buyer
00:15:50
Cecil SFC but this is just our own way
00:15:55
of how we will want to raise our
00:15:58
families we need to introduce our
00:16:00
families to God and we need to introduce
00:16:02
God to our families there's a slight
00:16:05
difference between the torah introducing
00:16:07
your families to God and introducing God
00:16:10
to your family aya right we are the
00:16:13
parents we are the first catechize for
00:16:16
our children we don't rely only on what
00:16:20
the church provides for our children the
00:16:22
catechism classes we as a parent should
00:16:25
also be involved in the faith journey of
00:16:29
our children especially our young
00:16:31
children
00:16:36
hey so we try to build strong Fisher
00:16:39
families in homes because it's condition
00:16:41
will determine the condition of
00:16:43
everything else there's also a Gift of
00:16:48
Life program which addresses the threats
00:16:51
to family life family in life there's a
00:16:54
strong authority in defending and
00:16:56
promoting life you know there's too many
00:16:58
Chinese the world the legalization of
00:17:02
the sex male sex same sex marriage not
00:17:06
legalization of divorces and all that
00:17:08
these are things that no that really
00:17:13
prevents us from achieving what God's
00:17:15
plan for each and every one of our
00:17:17
families so we need to take a stand
00:17:20
no but sometimes because the world the
00:17:23
Lord tells us to be in the world but do
00:17:25
not conform to the ways of the world we
00:17:28
don't need to make big things we can do
00:17:31
small things but with great love that's
00:17:33
what moderator is also mentioned okay so
00:17:37
building the Church of the poor we have
00:17:39
this social arm called the Caldecott
00:17:41
unquote or is the acronym for answering
00:17:46
the cry of the poor so their social
00:17:49
development programs like shelter health
00:17:53
education child sponsorship cornerstone
00:17:56

00:17:59

00:18:01
unhoped program and we have been doing
00:18:04

00:18:32
Christian values attitudes and behavior
00:18:35
as well as its teaching programs
00:18:36
approaches the Christian renewal within
00:18:38
the context of
00:18:39
relationship so there's some points here
00:18:43
that please just take note of the one
00:18:45
highlighted in red so we believe in
00:18:48
marriages and in this soluble
00:18:50
institution as I as taught by our Lord
00:18:52
Jesus Christ in Matthew 19 verse 6 the
00:18:55
got raided marriage primarily for love
00:18:57
between man and woman and for proper a
00:18:59
probation and proper reading of children
00:19:02
we believe that God created man and wife
00:19:04
with equal personal Worth and dignity
00:19:06
and that God ordained order in the
00:19:09
family giving a man roles the head of
00:19:11
the family and woman assists out made a
00:19:13
support which Rose best expressed their
00:19:16
complementarity so we have our own
00:19:18
individual roles to play in our family
00:19:21
as you go with our community you will
00:19:24
learn more about this and do right try
00:19:26
to exercise them
00:19:28
we believe in the alienable and in the
00:19:30
replaceable right and responsibility of
00:19:32
parents to educate the children not just
00:19:35
giving them the education that they need
00:19:37
but also give them the faith the
00:19:39
knowledge in doubt in our Catholic faith
00:19:42
we believe that the family in practicing
00:19:45
custom message shares in the life and
00:19:46
mission of the church through prayers
00:19:48
evangelization service others especially
00:19:51
to the poor so we are all called to
00:19:53
share God's love and good news to all we
00:19:58
believe the Christian family renewal can
00:20:00
be best achieved by inviting Jesus to
00:20:03
the Lord of our homes by allowing the
00:20:05
power of the Holy Spirit to lead our
00:20:07
lives our family lives and through the
00:20:09
full use of spiritual gifts and power
00:20:11
disposal and we believe in the maternal
00:20:15
mini mediation intercession of our
00:20:17
Blessed Mother in bringing us closer to
00:20:19
our son Jesus Christ
00:20:20
so Russo devotion is also encouraged the
00:20:26
importance of CFC mission so again the
00:20:28
family is the basic unit of society
00:20:30
which is part of God's plan CFC has been
00:20:35
raised to defend this work of God so in
00:20:41
our community we have this CFC covenant
00:20:44
card again this co-discoverer actually
00:20:46
is a covalent between you and the Lord
00:20:49
although it was given
00:20:51
by couples fergus community but it's
00:20:53
basically tells you this is your
00:20:57
commitment to God and yourself not to
00:21:01
CFC so next week if you are if you have
00:21:05
decided ok you want to be part of this
00:21:08
community we will give you this covenant
00:21:10
card you will have to sign it stating
00:21:13
that you are committed to what this
00:21:17
confident cat is saying I'll give you a
00:21:20
brief hint of the five points that we
00:21:23
had put in this communal Provident card
00:21:26
so commitment to growing always ask
00:21:28
Christian couples and to encourage
00:21:30
support one another in leading a
00:21:31
spirit-filled Christian life so the
00:21:34
first I shall live as a follower price
00:21:37
and after there will be some sub points
00:21:39
so someone free at least fifteen minutes
00:21:42
with scriptures for these 15 minutes
00:21:44
participate regularly in the worship
00:21:45
life of my church avoid sin wrongdoing
00:21:48
put good order into my private life the
00:21:51
second is I dedicate myself to the
00:21:53
pastor of building a strong family for
00:21:56
Christ you're not going to go through
00:21:58
because we are lady late the third is I
00:22:01
make myself available to the Lord for
00:22:03
service so in time don't rush take it
00:22:06
one step at a time similar to what you
00:22:08
did during this Christian life program
00:22:10
don't look
00:22:11
one year after just look the next week
00:22:14
the next week the next week okay I will
00:22:17
relate in love and loyalty to other
00:22:19
members of composter price and then I
00:22:22
shall study in seek to grow as a
00:22:24
Christian person in understanding and
00:22:26
fulfillment of my marriage vocation so
00:22:30
how do we support each other in this
00:22:32
community by our committed relationships
00:22:38
we believe that we have a responsibility
00:22:41
to encourage and support one another in
00:22:42
the Christian life thus we make a
00:22:44
commitment to grow
00:22:45
together as Christian couples and just
00:22:47
let let me just highlight your
00:22:52
commitment is a very absurd sensitive
00:22:55
word is a very important a lot of times
00:22:58
we tend to interchange commitment and a
00:23:02
promise but you also justifying promises
00:23:06
are made to be broken that's why if a
00:23:09
simple invitation I invite brother Alf
00:23:12
in April we have a party next week can
00:23:15
you come a lot of times most of the time
00:23:18
we will say immediately say yes without
00:23:20
even thinking whether you have any
00:23:22
conflicting schedule but we immediately
00:23:24
say yes maybe we have also Audrey so
00:23:27
maybe we like to go or sometimes we feel
00:23:30
like if I don't say yes this this
00:23:32
brother of mine will keep on bothering
00:23:34
me right but then in your mind you
00:23:38
already don't you already decided oh I
00:23:40
will not go just say yes but I will not
00:23:41
go that is not commitment brothers and
00:23:45
sisters commitment is know there's a lot
00:23:48
of definition for commitment but for me
00:23:50
I find commit the difference commitment
00:23:53
this definition familiar to be more
00:23:56
realistic which says commitment is doing
00:24:02
the things that you said you're going to
00:24:03
do long after the mood you said it has
00:24:08
left you right because again sometimes
00:24:12
we just immediately answer okay I will
00:24:15
do this I will do this for the Lord then
00:24:17
the day comes hey brother I need you to
00:24:20
help us in the service where are you
00:24:22
also ready bro I've got stuck up working
00:24:26
and there's nothing wrong with that of
00:24:29
course we we cannot just leave our work
00:24:32
with that but again what I'm saying is
00:24:34
your desire you know for me I always
00:24:38
whenever there's conflict in my service
00:24:40
I am I
00:24:40
Miami catechize I play a what a ghost
00:24:45
facilitator for our NCC group I am the
00:24:48
music ministry coordinator for our
00:24:49
community so there's a lot of also
00:24:52
schedules and definitely the whole de
00:24:54
clashes in the schedule but what do I do
00:24:58
I cannot do anything that's why I always
00:25:01
leave it up to the Lord you you tell me
00:25:04
which one do you think I should go first
00:25:07
which one do you serve and you'll be
00:25:09
surprised the Lord will arrange all your
00:25:11
schedules for you
00:25:12
the point there is that is your decide
00:25:15
in your heart whether you want to
00:25:17
disturb God or you serve yourself okay
00:25:21
so we have a point point of a and
00:25:23
statistic of the notecard and we also
00:25:27
have this household is our primary
00:25:29
support in the community so it supports
00:25:32
seven couples we meet once a week and
00:25:35
which is our ministry usually held in
00:25:38
the hopes of our members so that means
00:25:40
we rotate so one day our one week we
00:25:43
will have in our homes the beeping
00:25:45
second meeting is the next couple next
00:25:47
couple but don't worry if you cannot
00:25:49
make it say if if the rotation is ready
00:25:51
for your at your home but you find
00:25:53
there's a difficulty to do it at your
00:25:56
home don't be shy just tell your the
00:25:58
leader so bro sorry I cannot do it this
00:26:02
time but maybe next round then we can
00:26:04
you can just change Hey so we do prayer
00:26:10
we do sharing discussion we do
00:26:12
fellowship so nothing different from
00:26:16
what you are doing in this Christian
00:26:17
life program now right we started our
00:26:20
opening prayer song after that we do a
00:26:22
talk after that we do sharing and after
00:26:25
that we do fellowship not anything right
00:26:29
so another one is by ongoing leach
00:26:32
information so there's a first formal
00:26:34
year teaching program covenant
00:26:37
orientation marriage enrichment and
00:26:39
virtualization training and after the
00:26:42
beyond the first shooters also other
00:26:44
other programs that they can get to
00:26:47
share with you
00:26:48
and there's also this various teaching
00:26:51
through the newsletter of nya
00:26:53
prior in fair symbols in other locations
00:26:56
so teaching formation again another
00:27:01
regular activities annual interest on
00:27:03
friends the weekend for assemblies
00:27:05
Lord's Day anniversary is family day and
00:27:08
other church activities so this up to
00:27:12
the hour same for this year every year
00:27:14
we come up with a middle the
00:27:16
international council will always
00:27:19
discern and pray what will be the next
00:27:22
theme for for our community and very
00:27:25
handy so for this year our theme is
00:27:27
leave as children of life a week arise
00:27:30
fulfill so now going back to sail what
00:27:35
the sail means is an idea and I guess
00:27:42
serve this sacrament away someone s we
00:27:53
are spirit filled you know all the
00:27:56
sharing all the talks that we are
00:27:59
sharing with others now we feel that
00:28:02
down this the Lord's grace for each and
00:28:04
every one of us is the Lord's message
00:28:07
from things for us how we can serve how
00:28:09
we can know him love him and serve him
00:28:12
so here's a picture taken I think last
00:28:15
year and at our marriage enrichment
00:28:16
written in Jamie the Spirit is really
00:28:21
powerful in depth
00:28:23
okay next a okay authentic I guess I
00:28:33
mentioned earlier we are recognized by
00:28:34
the Vatican so all our documents or our
00:28:37
dogs are approved by the Vatican okay so
00:28:41
this the Vatican recognition back in
00:28:44
March of 2000 and a follow-up one back
00:28:47
in 2005 we are also approved by the
00:28:52
register of Singapore a and
00:29:00
nothing L is life-giving to our social
00:29:05
and on top we are offering help to those
00:29:09
who are unfortunate poor those who
00:29:13
cannot defend for themselves and II will
00:29:19
be it is going to be exciting for each
00:29:22

00:29:24

00:30:01

00:30:05
all the things that you can this one was
00:30:07
taken also in 2010 we did a probably did

might my daughter was just sometimes
00:30:16
nine years old okay so just say L
00:30:22
spirit-filled attentive like eating and
00:30:25
exciting
00:30:27
okay so we are living in exciting times
00:30:31
we are called to be part of God's work
00:30:36
we need to see this spiritual drama and
00:30:39
deal with the eyes of pain
00:30:42
what does Hebrews aha fate means in
00:30:45
Hebrews 11:1 faith is the assurance of
00:30:49
things hoped for and the confidence of
00:30:52
things not seen so we believe in faith
00:30:55
not by sight we should gladly respond to
00:31:00
the divine efforts of restoring fabulous
00:31:01
factories came down and we are inviting
00:31:04
you to be part of God's work by being
00:31:06
part of us in
00:31:07
for price so think about and pray about
00:31:14
the confident of CFC look on the
00:31:19
Covenant as an idea not yet fully in
00:31:22
place but what as what God calls us to
00:31:25
what is important for you is to be able
00:31:28
to make that covenant to make that
00:31:31
permanent is that you understand it you
00:31:33
accept it as helpful and even necessary
00:31:36
for your Christian family living and you
00:31:39
will try to live it down
00:31:42
okay we precisely need one another in
00:31:45
CFC in order to support each other other
00:31:48
in leading out the continent so if you
00:31:50
