ye Psalm 42:1-8, David used the imagery of a deer panting for streams

Sh my David wrote this Psalm when he was geographically distant from
the temple. He wrote this while he was away from Jerusalem and
ae hiding from his son Absolom, who tried to kill him. He expressed his
longing to worship God in the temple.

water that would refresh him, not only physically, but emotionally

knew that only God could quench that thirst; the thirst of the soul!
if And after being away from God for a time, he longed to be close to

said, “If you knew the gift of God and who it is that asks you fora

(referring to the water in the well) will be thirsty again, but

A genuine connection with Christ Jesus will truly satisfy our souls

BREAKING GROUND

SERMON i2: THE BIGGER PICTURE

Rev. Mau Rivera / Philippians 4:10-20

NOW THAT YOU'VE BROKEN GROUND, REVEL IN COMPLETE CONTENTMENT,
PROMOTE GENEROSITY, AND TRUST IN HIS SOVEREIGN PROVISION

|. COMPLETE CONTENTMENT

101 rejoice greatly in the Lord that at last you have renewed your concern for me. Indeed, you have

been concerned, but you had no opportunity to show it. “/ am not saying this because |am in

need, for |have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. #1 know what it is to be in
need, and | know what it is to have plenty. | have learned the secret of being content in any and
every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. ®I. can do everything

through Him who gives me strength.

ll. ENCOURAGED GENEROSITY

“Yet it was good of you to share in my troubles. *Moreover, as you Philippians Rnow, in the early
days of your acquaintance with the gospel, when |set out from Macedonia, not one church
shared with me in the matter of giving and receiving, except you only; *for even when |was in
Thessalonica, you sent me aid again and again when |was in need. Not that | am looking for a
gift, but | am looking for what may be credited to your account. */ have received full payment and
even more; |!am amply supplied, now that | have received from Epaphroditus the gifts you sent.

They are a fragrant offering, an acceptable sacrifice, pleasing to God.

Ill. SOVEREIGN PROVISION

And my God will meet all your needs according to His glorious riches in Christ Jesus. ?°To our
God and Father be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

ABOUT SBCF

Subic Bay Community of Faith started in the summer of 2010 when a vision of church
planiing in Subic Bay Freeport Zone was laid in the hearts of John Phillip and Mei Chua
Chiaco. On September 25, 2010, thirty-five people met for the first worship service with Rev.
Noel Pantoja, assisted by his loving wife Jenny Pantoja serving as the Lead Pastor/Church
Planter of the team. A year later, Rev. Maurice Adam Rivera was called to continue the

spiritual leadership of SBCF.

While the church over the years continued to participate in numerous community-based
ministries such as outreaches, medical missions, church planting, fellowship groups,
ministering to the ministers, and other similar activities, the Lord steered the leadership of
His Church to prioritize discipleship and focus on the internal growth of those called to
SBCF. Through His leading and voice, the mission of SBCF became clear: to Develop
Dynamic Disciples by leading others to cultivate their inner life through Christ Jesus.

Today, SBCF continues to champion the call to Christian authenticity by prioritizing our own

relationship with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. We encourage people of all ages and
backgrounds to come and experience the joy and restedness only Christ can bring.
Worship with us, and come as you are! Welcome to the SBCF family!

ABOUT THE SERMON SERIES

BUILDING DEEP:BREAKING GROUND

Imagine a tree without its roots. Or a building without a solid foundation. A strong wind blows, and that
structure falters, lin our spiritual lives, a solid foundation is needed to keep us firmly rooted in Christ, But,
where to start? First, we must break ground.

The key to a strong foundation begins with the act of Building Deep, We need to dig deep to discover what

-it means to be anchored and rooted in Christ with joy and gladness, The Apostle Paul - through his writings

found in the Book of Philippians shows us how love is the means to this rootediness iin Christ, which helps
us develop a sense of joy and unwavering commitment to the faith, no matter what the circumstances may

be,

Continue your Journey with us as we Break Ground together to discover the deep things about God, with the
aim to cultivate a stronger relationship with Himl
