Charism in a Year

40 DAYS TO SERVANT LEADERSHIP with DR Arellano and Smith Pinera - Charism in a Year

The world is in darkness. A tsunami of evil is upon us. Things are going from bad to worse. Is there hope? Yes, there is hope, because there is Christ and his Church. Jesus said, “I am the light of the world.” (Jn 8:12). Then he says, “You are the light of the world.” (Mt 5:14). It is up to God’s people to dispel the darkness of evil and sin by bringing God’s light to shine upon the earth. But we have another problem. God’s people are scattered and lost. And those entrusted with their care are themselves unfaithful to their call. These are the shepherds, the pastors, the servant leaders. Many of those called do not know what the call is about, and thus have not responded accordingly. There is a dire need to understand the call to servant leadership.

24/7 FOR JESUS with Top Espinosa - Charism in a Year

We are called to holiness and discipleship. These do not just happen. They require the grace of God, the power of the Spirit, and our own effort. God does tell us what we need to do. We for our part obey, and live out God’s ways with consistency, persistence and discipline. We do these not just some of time, but all of the time. Always. We are to be 24/7 for Jesus.

40 DAYS OF CHALLENGE IN THE CHRISTIAN LIFE with Mac de Leon, Mark Mercado, Charles Alvarez and Froilan Anasco - Charism in a Year

Have you ever wondered what certain difficult or challenging passages in the Bible meant? * Do not be anxious at all about life. * Renounce all your possessions. * Love your enemies. * Turn the other cheek. * Rejoice in suffering. * Pray without ceasing. * Be perfect as the heavenly Father is perfect.   Have you ever desired to be the person that God intends you to be? The times are urgent for the life of the world, as well as for those of us who truly desire to live in and for Jesus. Thus the whole Church has been called to the New Evangelization. If we desire to respond to this prophetic call, we must become a people formed according to God’s ways. We must obey what Jesus tells us. But how can we obey if we do not understand? We can start to understand as we take this life-changing pilgrimage for the next 40 days.

40 DAYS WITH JOB with Jam Michaelson and Karlo Marbida - Charism in a Year

For 2010, God brought CFC-FFL to a very challenging book for its theme for the year. This is the book of Job. It is challenging because the book of Job is about the great affliction of a man who was blameless and upright. Having come from the book of Lamentations for the year 2007, when CFC experienced a crisis and then split into two, what could God have in store for His faithful remnant? Now, just as then, God is only manifesting His great love for us. He is doing what is needed in order to make us a holy remnant, a community that He can truly use for His purposes. Learn to understand more the mysterious ways of the Almighty God. * The justice and righteousness of God * The reality of spiritual warfare * The mystery of redemptive suffering * Having true hope, joy and trust in God * The way of the cross Job points us to Jesus. Let us then sit on the ash heap with him, and learn the lessons of Job.
