Central Philippine Adventist College began its Week of Prayer on Monday, September 14, under the theme โAt the Crossroads: Archaeology of Salvation,โ with Pastor Leslie Scott Baker Jr. as the guest speaker. The four-day program provided students with opportunities to reflect on their faith, strengthen their relationship with God, and consider how their choices shape their spiritual journey.
On the first day, the morning session, entitled โBloody Worship,โ focused on sacrifice, redemption, and Godโs love, reminding students to keep their faith at the center of their lives. In the afternoon, โOne More Night with the Frogsโ continued the spiritual reflection by encouraging students to recognize the things they hold on to and the importance of making the right decisions rather than waiting.
On the second day, September 15, the morning sermon โBound by Bloodโ highlighted sacrifice, redemption, and Godโs love, encouraging students to remain connected to God. The afternoon session, โAll Hail,โ focused on giving honor and praise to God, reminding students to keep Him at the forefront of their minds despite the distractions and pressures of the world.
On the third day, September 16, students reflected on the Wilderness Sanctuary through the theme โPrepare Me to Be a Sanctuary.โ The discussion explored the three parts of the sanctuaryโthe courtyard, tabernacle, and furnishingsโall pointing to Christ. Students were also reminded through 1 Corinthians 5:6โ8 that leaven represents sin and that they are called to live with sincerity and truth. The message emphasized that a good way is not always the easiest way, but the way that prepares the heart to become Godโs sanctuary.
On the fourth day, September 17, the morning session, โImperfectly Perfect,โ continued the discussion on the sanctuary and the call to live according to Godโs way. The message emphasized that people should not settle for less when they are given the opportunity to follow God, while also highlighting themes of purity, the need for remorse and renewal, and the significance of being covered by God. In the afternoon, โBlack Pillโ addressed themes of depression, anxiety, and existence, while encouraging students to take responsibility for their choices and actions. The session also emphasized service and presented Jesus as the Good Way, offering light and direction amid darkness.
The first four days of the Week of Prayer have given the CPAC community opportunities to reflect on sacrifice, faith, purity, responsibility, and the choices that shape their spiritual lives. Through the messages shared each day, students are reminded to keep God at the center of their lives and to choose a path that reflects their faith.
