00:01This was like a disco place last night. Most Saturday nights this place is being used as a rental.
00:08But then every Sunday morning, thank you, the teams that are here already assigned.
00:13Thank you for coming here early, cleaning the bathrooms, cleaning the floor, cleaning and setting the table, etc.
00:20And it is hard to believe it is a worship place within the next two hours after setting up the
00:27place.
00:27Thank you very much. I know that this is not our own building, but when it comes to one hour
00:33of worship,
00:34we want to make sure that everything is focused on...
00:38Why do we have the following? Why do we have the cross?
00:41It is because we worshiped Christ Jesus who went to the cross.
00:45Why is it that there is a green drain on him?
00:48It is because we are still in the season of what is called regular season,
00:52And we need to learn that the two Sundays like that will change to purple.
00:56Because we will now switch from this regular season to what is called the season of Advent.
01:02Now, also on our altar, we have the following in the Bible, which is our book that we follow.
01:09And we have candles. And the Lord said that your lives shine before men.
01:14And thank you ladies, thank you once again at the Ben, at the Josie, at the Evelyn, those of you
01:21who came early, at the Vicky and Grace.
01:23Look at the pensetta we have here today.
01:26Doesn't this remind you of Thanksgiving and Christmas already?
01:30Some of us are Filipinas already.
01:32Look at that. It is so beautiful, right?
01:34And also look at the ones behind us.
01:37We have the balloons.
01:38And we also have...
01:40That must have been a party here last night.
01:43Probably for a 50-year-old.
01:44Because it's gold.
01:46That's my impression.
01:47Wasn't it the 50th birthday?
01:49We have friends yesterday.
01:50That's when we celebrate with you.
01:52Look at that.
01:53Now, okay.
01:54I know you remembered this August 4th.
01:57So, now all of these are here.
01:59So we took advantage of what they have here.
02:02And also, behind us, if you focus on the drain behind you, it reminds you of...
02:10Jerry has been there.
02:12Angela has been there.
02:13It is called the Wailing Wall in Jerusalem.
02:17Abigail has been there.
02:19Who else?
02:20We have a lot of the baby.
02:22Anneli and Jesselite.
02:23We have a big, a big king.
02:24This is the place where the Jews would go with their prayer.
02:29We passed by.
02:29They once called Jesus in Jerusalem.
02:31And then we would insert them in those, um, premises.
02:36And, uh, they're...
02:37You know why?
02:38It was because the Jews, when they, uh, lost their city, uh, the Babylonians came and also the Romans came
02:48and desecrated their place.
02:50You know what was left?
02:52Remember, it's a square because it's a compound.
02:55The Wailing Wall, the Western Wall, that wall, is the only wall that survived it.
03:02The temple was destroyed and the temple was destroyed.
03:06The only piece of original furnishing from the time of Solomon is this one.
03:11So, since that is an original, if there's not a temple, at least they say, this will be our altar.
03:19The reason they pointed that out is because we may not be in a sanctuary right now.
03:24But this becomes our altar on Sunday mornings.
03:28When we can bring before God our prayer requests, He will hear our prayers.
03:33When we can bring to God our thanksgiving, and He will accept our praises.
03:38And we can offer to Him our petitions.
03:42Did you know why it's called the Wailing Wall?
03:45Because when Jews come to this wall, Western Wall, by the way, that's the only structure that is left on
03:51the original.
03:52Eastern Wall, down.
03:54Northern Wall, down.
03:55Southern Wall, down.
03:56Temple, it's gone.
03:58The only original is the Western Wall.
04:00That's why it's called the Wailing Wall.
04:02And they will turn to the wall, and they would cry, they would weep, they would cry out to God
04:07that God would deliver them.
04:09And God always hears their prayers.
04:13That is my small lesson for you today.
04:16That when we come to church, I know it is not a sanctuary, but we can always focus on the
04:23middle.
04:23Thank you, Drew, by the way, for getting rid of all of the clutter in the front.
04:29So, when you focus in here, it is different.
04:32So, we focus on the Lord.
04:34We don't have a physical temple yet.
04:38Yet.
04:38But then we can focus on the greatness of our God.
04:41You know why?
04:42Because God is everywhere.
04:44He is in every place.
04:47You can be in your room, in your car, at school.
04:50You can pray to God, and that will be your altar if you may.
04:54Amen?
04:55That is our small and short lesson today.
04:58Okay.
04:58My name is Tony.
05:00Okay.
05:01Now, first of all, I want you to be Bebo.

06:22Ask your teacher.
06:23Teacher, why do you call this Sky Blue?
06:25If she doesn't know the answer, you know, you have to research it.
06:29Okay.
06:29Here's my quick buddy.
06:30My name is Ali, and I'm 10 years old, and I go to Sky Blue Mesa Elementary School.
06:35Do you know that Sky Blue Mesa Elementary School?
06:38Okay.
06:39Ask your teacher.
06:40Why do you call this?
06:42Because, you know what?
06:43In fact, if you're me, my name is Dale, and I'm 10 years old, I went to Cecilio Apostol
06:48Elementary School.
06:49You know what I was called Cecilio Apostol?
06:51Because that is one of the guys who ran for office, and now it's not Cecilio Apostol Elementary
06:58everything now .
06:59It is now .
07:02Because, you know.
07:03Anyway, you know what this is?
07:06Okay?
07:07This is Jack O'Lantern, right?
07:10Now, I know we should have brought in the candies last week, but we have some residual candies
07:17in here.
07:17So, I want to talk to you about something.
07:20But Jack O'Lantern, not Jack O'Lantern, but the name is Jack O'Leary.
07:24How do you remember Jack O'Leary?
07:26Let me tell you who Jack O'Leary is.
07:28Jack O'Leary lived before you and I lived in 1948 to 1956.
07:33Listen to this.
07:34From 1948 to 1956, he hiccuped.
07:38Do you know what a hiccup is?
07:40What is hiccup?
07:41Do you know what a hiccup is?
07:42Okay.
07:43In Tagalog, it's called Sinop.
07:45Okay?
07:46You know, Jack O'Leary hiccuped for, from 1948 to 1956, hiccuped for, I'm not kidding
07:53you, 160 million times.
07:57Wow.
07:58One hundred sixteen million times.
08:01And throughout the course of that period, of that time, people had been giving him suggestions.
08:06Some of them said, oh, use a paper bag, and then put your hand inside the paper bag.
08:13That don't cure your hiccup.
08:14No, it did not.
08:16Others were saying, drink water.
08:18No, it did not.
08:20Others said, I can't mind it, but have a teaspoon of sugar, and then just a spoonful of sugar.
08:26Do you remember that?
08:28Do you remember that?
08:28Yes.
08:29That was actually a suggestion to Jack O'Leary.
08:32It did not work out.
08:34From 1948 to 1956, he received, listen to this, 60,000 suggestions.
08:41As to how to cure his hiccup.
08:44Non-worry.
08:51I thought that was funny.
08:52Thank you for laughing.
08:53The thing is this.
08:54Yes.
08:54They offered many sets and purposes of recommendations.
08:58Non-worry.
08:59Let me tell you this.
09:00Going to heaven has different ideas.
09:03Oh, just be good.
09:04We'll make it to heaven.
09:05Oh, just attend church.
09:06We'll make it to heaven.
09:07But Jesus said, there's only one way.
09:10And that is Jesus.
09:11Jesus said, I am the way, the truth, and the life.
09:14No other way leads to heaven except through me.
09:16So, like just we read, who received a lot of suggestions that did not work, the Bible has a recommendation
09:23that would work.
09:24And that is, Jesus is the way to heaven our life to turn out.
09:29Okay?
09:30Now, I know you're not children anymore, but I want to teach you a short song.
09:35Okay?
09:36It goes like this.
09:37Jesus is the way to my Father's house.
09:40To my Father's house.
09:43To my Father's house.
09:45Jesus is the way to my Father's house.
09:49There is joy evermore.
09:52Can you join me?
09:53Jesus isthe way to my Father's house.
09:58To my Father's house.
10:00To my Father's house.
10:02Jesus isthe way to my Father's house.
10:06There is joy evermore.
10:10I know young people don't want to do the act of work.
10:14Or, Jerry wanted you to come here and say, God, no, no, no, no.
10:20Or, I know, I know, I know.
10:23But remember this.
10:24We come to church because we worship the Lord.
10:27We pray to God.
10:28And also remember that there is only one way to heaven, and that is Christ Jesus.
10:32Hold your hands, bow your heads, raise your eyes, raise your feet, say, love you, God.
10:36We thank you that we can worship you any place.
10:42It may be at home, at school, even in the play yard.
10:48You're always there to hear our prayers.
10:53Thank you, dear Jesus, that you are the way to have eternal life.
10:59In your name we pray.
11:01Amen.
