📖 Scriptures: Hebrews 11:1-10; Psalm 21:1-5 🎙 Message: What Makes a Hero? – Rev. Romy Velasco Our world often measures heroes by their extraordinary feats, strength, or fame. However, Scripture offers a different perspective on true greatness. In Hebrews 11, often called the "Hall of Faith," we are introduced to men and women who were named heroes not because of worldly status, but because they stepped out in bold obedience and trusted God's promises even when the path ahea

📖 Scriptures: 1 Corinthians 13:13; Hebrews 11:8-10 🎙 Messages: Living Under The Abundance of God – Rev. Romy Velasco It is easy to focus on what we lack or to worry about the unpredictable future ahead of us. However, Scripture constantly reorients our vision toward the rich provisions of our Heavenly Father.

📖 Scriptures: 1 John 1:8-10; 1 John 2:1-5 🎙 Message: Obstacles to Grace – Rev. Romy Velasco God’s grace is infinitely abundant, yet we often find ourselves feeling disconnected from its power. In the first chapter of 1 John, the Apostle John addresses one of the greatest barriers to experiencing God's love: self-deception. When we claim to be without sin or pretend that we have no need for forgiveness, we shut out the very grace that seeks to heal and restore us. Rev. Romy
