Bible Lectures with Brother Rody Gumpad at Lanton church of Christ, Lanton, Apopong, General Santos City

December 6, 2016

The Church and Kingdom are distinct terms, but they are used synonymously in the New Testament to refer to the spiritual realm, relationship, or fellowship created by God in Christ, into which sinners enter by obedience to the gospel of Christ. Christ proclaimed the good news that his kingdom would soon be established, and he urged men to prepare to enter into it (Matt. 4:17). We have the privilege and duty TODAY to proclaim the good news that the kingdom has come, and to invite and urge all men to enter into it by obeying the gospel of Christ (Mark 16:15-16). 

We are glad and thankful to receive an invitation of the BIBLE LECTURES with our good friends and brothers in Christ, Rody Gumpad and his son, Rody Gumpad Jr. at Lanton church of Christ, Purok 11, Lanton Overview, Apopong, General Santos City. We were able to attend the whole day bible lectures together with my father, Julie Divine A. Notarte and brother Joseph Notarte. On April 2007, we were fortunate to be part of their students on The Preacher Training Program at Metro Tuguegarao church of Christ for one month. And we are thankful that they did not forget our close relationship and experience from that time. By God's help, we are looking forward to have another Bible Lectures with them in the near future.

This schedule was made through the help of their local preachers like brother Salvador Parbo and Jolly Julom and also with the help of brother Carlito Abella. Many preachers from different places had attended and were blessed with the lessons preached. May God help us become more equipped in preaching the truth so that many more souls will be saved.
