Topic: Walk in the Light
Series: Shine, Shine Your Light
Date: Dec 26, 2021
Opening [Pambungad]
Napakahalaga to build a genuine relationship with your members. Ang Care Circle ay hindi lang para sa attendance o pang-sesermon kundi pagkakaroon ng relasyon sa isa’t isa at sama-samang pagtahak sa buhay.
Mga bagay na makakatulong:
1. I-welcome ang grupo.
2. Kung kayang magkaroon ng ice breaker, mas mainam!
3. Kamustahin ang kanilang mga naging nakaraang lingo – any highlights or challenges.
4. Kamustahin kung nagawa ba nila ang application last week
5. Kamustahin kung meron bang answered prayers mula sa inyong mga ipinanalangin.

Note: Hindi po kailangang daanan isa-isa ang items dito. This full sermon outline ay para maging guide ninyo sa pagrerecap ng topic.
Scripture: 1 John 1:1-8 (ASND)
WE ARE THE LIGHT FOR OTHER PEOPLE!
I. Your light is already shining!
1 John 2:8
Ang problema ay kung ang liwanag ay itinatago.
PERSONAL WALK - Spiritual Christian vs. Worldly Christian
There is a problem if a person does not evaluate his behavior if he claims to be a Christian. May problema ang isang tao kung hindi sya nagkakaroon ng pagsusuri sa sarili lalo na kung sya ay isang Kristyano.
This evaluation does not mean how we will be acceptable to god and how to be perfect.
Rather it is to evaluate: are we really walking with God?
Anong dapat gawin sa mga pagkakataon na hindi ka lumalakad sa liwanag?
Expose your sin to the light! - 1 JOHN 1:9
1 John 2:6 (NIV) - Whoever claims to live in him must live as Jesus did.
1 John 2:6 (ASND) - Ang sinumang nagsasabing siya ay nananatili sa kaniya, ay nararapat din namang lumakad kung papaano lumakad si Jesus.
II. How to know that we are walking in the light
1 John 1:7 - But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another...
HOW WE LOVE OTHERS - OUR UGALI TOWARDS OTHER PEOPLE -- especially our brothers and sisters
1 John 2:9, 1 John 3:10, 1 John 3:12, 1 John 3:15
BLOOD OF THE COVENANT IS THICKER THAN WATER OF THE WOMB
1 John 3:16-17
THERE ARE MANY WAYS TO SHOW LOVE TO OUR BROTHERS AND SISTERS IN CHRIST!
Example: Galatians 6:2 - Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.
John 13:35 - By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.
1 John 4:11-12 - Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. No one has ever seen God; if we love one another, God abides in us and his love is perfected in us.
20-21 - Whoever claims to love God yet hates a brother or sister is a liar. For whoever does not love their brother and sister, whom they have seen, cannot love God, whom they have not seen. 21 And he has given us this command: Anyone who loves God must also love their brother and sister.
ANO ANG GAGAWIN KO KUNG AKO AY NAGKAKAMALI AT NATITISOD SA LAKAD KO SA DIYOS?
III. You should continue to abide in the Light.
1 John 4:19 (NIV) - We love because He first loved us. (NIV)
1 John 4:19 (AB2001)- Tayo'y umiibig sapagkat Siya ang unang umibig sa atin.
NANDITO NA SA ATIN ANG TUNAY NA LIWANAG (SI HESUS) NGUNIT MAY MGA PAGKAKATAON NA TAYO AY BUMABAGSAK SA ATING BUHAY.
STORY OF SIMON PETER – APOSTLE PETER
Matthew 26:35 (ESV) - Peter said to him, “Even if I must die with you, I will not deny you!” And all the disciples said the same.
AGAPE (LOVE) – UNCONDITIONAL
PHILEO (LOVE) – BROTHERLY / AFFECTION / LIKING
JOHN 21:15-17
CONCLUSION
1 John 1:7 - But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin.
FULFILL YOUR MISSION! WALK, WALK IN THE LIGHT!
Reflection [Magnilay-nilay]
1. Bakit may liwanag na ang lahat kapag tayo ay naging Christian (nag-receive kay Jesus)?
2. Kamusta ang iyong PERSONAL WALK – namumuhay ka ba with integrity and aligned sa LIWANAG na meron ka na? Ano pa ang pwede mong iimprove o ipabago sa Diyos?
3. Kamusta ang iyong LOVE FOR OTHERS – namumuhay ka ba na nagmamahal at may pakialam lalo sa iyong brothers and sisters in Christ? Ano pa ang pwede mong iimprove o ipabago sa Diyos?
4. Naranasan mon a rin bang ma-discourage mag-shine ng iyong light dahil sa nalugmok ka sa kasalanan? Ano ang natutunan mo na dapat gawin kapag ganito?
Practice [I-apply ang Natutunan]
Anong clear actions o next steps ang gagawin mo upang mag-WALK IN THE LIGHT sa ating buhay?
Prayer [Panalangin]
Closing [Pangwakas]
I-remind ang grupo tungkol sa mg ito:
- Kanilang daily Bible reading and devotion
- Pagdalo sa church
- Pagbibigay (tithes and offering)
- Pananalangin (kasama ang Prayer Cell)
- Pag-care sa iba
- Pag-seserve sa ministry – baka wala pa silang ministry, marami pong available!
