    A Way To Revival

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Sep 25, 2025
     | 212 views

    Imagine a city so entrenched in its ways that the very notion of change seems radical, if not impossible. Yet, through the obedience of Jonah, a reluctant prophet, and the subsequent repentance of the Ninevites, we witness one of the most powerful revivals in biblical history.

    OPENING ILLUSTRATION: God revived me when I went to work in the Middle East. Till then I was just a lukewarm and laidback Christian.

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Sep 4, 2025
     | 140 views

    "Forging our Faith" involves the ways in which trials, demands, delays, and daily dependence on God shape and reinforce our reliance on His promises and power. Faith is not developed in a vacuum but in the context of real-world challenges ...

    OPENING ILLUSTRATION: The history of our nation with Judeo-Christian leanings is deeply engraved with the acknowledgment that their founding principles were influenced by God's Word.

     | 133 views

    Jesus suffered for our sins, the righteous for the unrighteous. He took on what we deserved so that we could receive what we never could have earned nearness to God. And Christ made it possible, once and for all.

    OPENING ILLUSTRATION: Play the video “Righteous Unrighteous.” INTRODUCTION: This passage is one of those places in Scripture where mystery and clarity live side by side.

    Hearing God

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Jun 25, 2025
     | 178 views

    God doesn't appease our flesh when He speaks. Our flesh has to contend with what He communicates. This is the acid test to know whether it is God talking to us or whether we are hearing our inner voice or familiar (spirits) voices (Leviticus 19:31; 20:6,27).

    INTRODUCTION: According to the Bible, God speaks in several ways. In the Old Testament, God often communicated with His people directly, through theophanies, or audible speech, as when He spoke to Moses from the burning bush (Exodus 3:4) or gave the Ten Commandments at Mount Sinai (Exodus 20:1). ...read more

     | 1,272 views

    If you don’t change, you could be headed in the wrong direction, just like Judas. Your future is in the fold, and where you go from here is up to you. Sometimes we have the best intentions with the wrong motives.

     | 1,564 views

    OPENING ILLUSTRATION: Play the video “RESTORED.” Israel had wondered far away from its place of origin. As if a child lost in a store, she is drawn away by delights of the eye, sensual insights and an overwhelming urgency to seek her own way. She awakens; finding herself tossed into the gutter of ...read more
