Here's our Care Circle "Continuing the Conversation" guide for November 6, 2022.
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.

A. PUT OFF OR PUT ON
That, however, is not the way of life you learned when you heard about Christ and were taught in him in accordance with the truth that is in Jesus. You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires; to be made new in the attitude of your minds; and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness. Ephesians 4: 20 – 24
Put off your former ways
Put off your corrupted desires
Put on a new attitude
Put on a new character
"A GOOD LIFE – which He wants us to be,
is a GOD-LIFE to be displayed in us and through us."

B. BY FAITH OR BY SIGHT
For we live by faith, not by sight. 2 Corinthians 5: 7
Sight trusts in possessions, power & people; Faith looks to the Source. ( Luke 18: 22 – 23 )
Sight takes matters into our own hands; Faith seeks God first. ( Matthew 6: 33 )
Sight is based on how I feel; Faith is based on what God has to say. ( Genesis 17: 16 - 17 )
Sight looks at how bad things in the moment; Faith looks beyond possibilities. ( 1 Kings 6: 13 - 17 )
"It is not about SEEING is BELlEVING,
but it is about BELIEVING is SEEING."

C. IMMOBILITY OR IMPACT
The night before Herod was to bring him to trial, Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains, and sentries stood guard at the entrance. Suddenly an angel of the Lord appeared and a light shone in the cell. He struck Peter on the side and woke him up. “Quick, get up!” he said, and the chains fell off Peter’s wrists. Then the angel said to him, “Put on your clothes and sandals.” And Peter did so. “Wrap your cloak around you and follow me,” the angel told him. Peter followed him out of the prison, but he had no idea that what the angel was doing was really happening; he thought he was seeing a vision. They passed the first and second guards and came to the iron gate leading to the city. It opened for them by itself, and they went through it. When they had walked the length of one street, suddenly the angel left him. Then Peter came to himself and said, “Now I know without a doubt that the Lord has sent his angel and rescued me from Herod’s clutches and from everything the Jewish people were hoping would happen. Acts 12: 6 – 11
THEN MAKE AN IMPACT AND NOW IS THE TIME TO DECIDE!
"Live above your circumstances.
Live above your culture.
Decide! what is from Above."

Reflection [Magnilay-nilay]
Ano ang mga bagay o attitude na kailangan mong i-put-off? Ano naman ang mga bagay o attitude na dapat mong i-put-on?
Paano ka namumuhay ngayon, by faith or by sight? Ano ang naghahadlang sayo upang mamuhay by faith?
Ano ang iyong desisyon ngayon: immobility o impact?
Practice [I-apply ang Natutunan]
