📖 Scripture: Proverbs 13:22-25; 1 Timothy 4:6-8 🎙 Message: Leaving a Legacy – Rev. Romy Velasco We live in a culture that often measures success by what we accumulate in the present.

📖 Scriptures: Ecclesiastes 3:1-8; 2nd Corinthians 6:1-10 🎙 Message: In God's Own Timing – Rev.

Understanding this rhythm is key to finding contentment in a world that often dem
