Love Never Fails
Fifty-five of the brethren joined hearts last April 21-23 (holy week) at Kubo Camp for Christ in Silang, Cavite for our first DCCC Family Camp. The theme "One Anothering" was emphasized in all of the lessons taught, surprise activity (Amazing Race), and group presentations. It was indeed a time of rejoicing, establishing stronger bonds with one another, and applying the lessons learned. We all hope that the Lord in His grace may grant us the strength, persistence, and commitment to pursue what His Spirit worked in all of us. Watch out for the gallery of the photos we have taken.We thank God for all of you who have participated by your presence and your financial assistance.
God's Champion
DVBS 2011's theme is "God's Champion. The children were taught about the life of faith and trust by some of God's champions. Our DVBS volunteer-teachers taught them the life stories of Joseph and Esther, showing them that a life of faith and trust in the living God was always worth the risk, even of death. We were expecting more children would come than those who joined us last year, but the Lord gave us less this year.The gospel was preached to the children by Pastor Neil on the third day after a 26-minute cartoon film showing of "The Messiah Has Come." Some of the children's parents came on graduation day, Thursday, and Pastor Larry preached from Luke 18, about the Pharisee and the tax-collector going to the Temple to pray.

Who has the words of life?
Heard of a gospel that doesn't save? That's not really good news right? Every so often a pastor preaches that all one needs to do is to believe God and everything will be fine. Then he goes on telling the story of his travels abroad, how God has blessed him and his family for a Hongkong trip a church member gave them. At the end of the less then 30 minutes preaching, he says, "That's the blessing of believing in God. Now accept Jesus and you will be saved." Where is the real Jesus in this message? and from what danger am I being saved from? Who is This Jesus? is a gospel tract provided by Grace Community Church that clearly presents the Savior and His gospel that saves, while confronting false presumptions of salvation.
