R:12 Christianity
Encountering Israel in the Old Testament times, one cannot do away with the sacrificial system in the big frame of their religious picture. Every time someone, or the people, sins – one needs to kill a sheep or pigeons to offer to God for the appeasement of His intended wrath. The animal is killed and placed on the altar to be burned; the smoke created by such is thought of as perfume in the nostrils of God. Propitiation is simply satisfying God by killing a scapegoat, substituting the death of an innocent beast instead of the sinner. In the end, ...
About R:12
God dreams for His Children. He dreams no just for their occupation or accomplishments, but dreams of the kind of person they will become and the life they will live. God desires His children to become "mirrors" to reflect His character and glory. God desires His children to become disciples. If you yearn to become a true disciple who mirrors Christ’s character, if you want to live God’s dream for you, embark on a life-changing journey through Romans 12 and discover what it really means to life and please God.

The Cure For Your “I” Problem by Pastor Joe Ascalon
To Walk Carefully by Pastor Joe Ascalon
Week 4 (July 27- August 2)
Aim: To do a fun activity together and foster deeper relationship.
Activity: This week is actually free time. You, as a group, can decide what fun activity you can do together. It does not have to be expensive. Here are some suggestions: watch a movie, or play bowling/billiard/darts, or hang out in one of your house or eat out, or just take a walk around the lagoon, etc. As long as it is fun and done together, it will be meaningful.
SG Activity 03: Favorite Childhood Food
Week 3 (July 20 -26)
Aim: to have fun and eat out.
Direction: Agree to meet at a group member’s house, or at some place convenient for all. Think of your favorite childhood food (pancit, barbeque, etc). Bring that as contribution. Share the meal together!
Suggested activity together: As a mixer, give everyone in the group a copy of the following open-ended statements:
One of my secret ambitions is: __
My favorite movie of all time is: __
My dream vacation spot is: __
My favorite food or restaurant is: __
In ten years, I’d like to be: __
My most valued material possession is: __
My favorite subject in school was:
Instruct group members to secretly complete five of the sentences, write their names on the handouts, and turn them in to the group leader. The leader then reads through the responses and invites the group to guess who wrote each sheet.
Taking The Step Into The Unkown by Pastor Philip Tarroja
SG Activity 02: God of The City
Week 2 (July 13-19)
Aim: To intentionally pray and seek the Lord’s blessing for our city. It is also a good time to exercise and have fun with your small group.
Direction: Set a time where you can gather at the New Government Center. Early Saturday morning, or maybe early evening at any day of the week sounds good. Be in your running/walking shoes and attire. You may want to plan for a picnic or bring cold drinks and light snacks.
Walk around the perimeter of the New Government Center. You group can decide how many times you can walk around, or how fast, but as you go, remember to pray for the city. Lift up in prayers our city government, the citizens of Bacolod City. Pray for peace and order. Pray for economic prosperity. More importantly, pray for spiritual revival to blaze through in our city.
End with some picnic, or refreshments. Remember to have fun!
SG Activity 01: ABC’s of Thanksgiving
Week 1 (July 6-12, 2011)
Aim: This activity helps recall the many things we should thank the Lord for.
Direction: Distribute lined paper and pencils to everyone in your group. Ask them to write the words “Thank You, God, for . . .” at the top of the paper. Down the left margin of the paper, they should write the letters of the alphabet, one per line.
Instruct the members to spend 15 minutes listing things they are grateful for in the space next to each letter. Remind them to consider the various ways God blesses us: spiritually, physically, mentally, emotionally, materially, and relationally. Try to record at least one blessing for each letter.
At the end of the time limit, ask the group members to share some of their blessings as you go through the alphabet. Encourage them to save their lists as reminders of God’s goodness or for use in personal devotions.
For fun, you might have people add the number of blessings they listed and give a prize to the one who recorded the most. End the game with prayers of thanksgiving using your lists for inspiration.
