Ilagan Christian Church

Ptr. Jess Erasquin

  • The Newness of Life

    There is nothing new under the sun, yet in Christ there is a new creation. Believers are raised with Him to walk in newness of life.

  • The Kinsman Redeemer

    Through Judah and Tamar, then Boaz and Ruth, God quietly raises up the family line from which the true Kinsman Redeemer, Jesus Christ, would come to ransom his people.

  • Delight Yourself in the Lord

    Psalm 37 tells God’s people not to envy evildoers, whose days are numbered, but to trust the Lord, delight in Him and rest in His care.

  • The Great Paradox: Why Do the Wicked Prosper?

    Asaph nearly stumbled when he saw the wicked prosper, until he entered the sanctuary of God and found that God Himself is his portion forever.

  • God Watches Over His People

    From Psalm 33 and the life of King Asa, a lesson on the Lord whose eyes are on those who fear Him and who fights for those who trust Him.

  • Blessed Is the Nation Whose God Is the Lord

    Psalm 33:12 opens a study of God’s calling of Abraham and Israel: a people chosen as His inheritance, made wise by His law and near to Him in prayer.

  • The Justice of God

    A three-part study defending God’s justice in the Old Testament, from the law that each dies for his own sin, to the conquest of Canaan, to Jonah’s anger at God’s mercy toward Nineveh.

  • The Counsel of the Lord

    The Lord frustrates the plans of the nations, but His own counsel stands forever, as the stories of Ahithophel and Haman show.

  • Rejoicing in God’s Creation

    By the word of the Lord the heavens were made. A lesson from Psalm 33 on the vastness of the universe and the care that made the earth a home for life.

  • The Lordship of Christ over His Church

    Ministers are called to guard Christ’s headship over His church against a corrupted gospel, secularized worship, and self-serving ministry.

  • Rejoice in the Lord

    Psalm 33 calls the righteous to rejoice in the Lord with a new song, because His word is right and all His work is done in truth.

  • The Joy of Forgiveness

    Psalm 32 shows the blessedness of the one whose sin is covered, the torment of hidden guilt, and the joy that follows honest confession.
