    based on 4 ratings
     | 13,223 views

    What do you do when you are facing such monumental obstacles? How do you resist temptation, flee from evil, or believe beyond your ability to understand how your problems can be solved or your battles won?

    Opening illustration: AN ESKIMO FISHERMAN CAME to town every Saturday afternoon. He always brought his two dogs with him. One was white and the other was black.

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Jan 20, 2011
    based on 9 ratings
     | 12,626 views

    Waiting for God is not laziness. Waiting for God is not going to sleep. Waiting for God is not the abandonment of effort. Waiting for God means, first, activity under command; second, readiness for any new command that may come; third, the ability to do

    Opening illustration: A professor in a world-acclaimed medical school once posed this medical situation - and ethical problem - to his students: "Here’s the family history: The father has syphilis.

    Trialful Joy

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Oct 8, 2009
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,377 views

    Trials and tests are no fun. James doesn’t tell us to consider it fun but to "consider it all joy." Trials and tests are gut wrenching and drawn out at times, but the one thing that we must know is that God is with us through the whole ordeal.

    Opening illustration: After William Carey was well established in his pioneer missionary work in India, his supporters in England sent a printer to assist him.

    based on 4 ratings
     | 10,473 views

    Time for the ‘Body of Christ’ to wake up from the slumber and get going by restoring the shattered walls and foundations of the Church; being always alert of the enemy attacks, positioning ourselves firmly in God’s Word and building a lifestyle of prayer.

    Opening illustration: The 4,000-mile-long Great Wall of China was built to keep invaders from the north. The first wall was constructed by Shi Huangdi, the first emperor of China, who lived between 259 – 210 BC. But in AD 1644 the Manchus broke through the Great Wall and overran China. They ...read more

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Oct 21, 2009
    based on 5 ratings
     | 11,540 views

    When we articulate our past, we are getting ready for a repeat performance. The choice is ours ~ rehearse the past failures OR the past victories. David chose not to continue living in the past. Will you also take that step?

    Opening illustration: A young gentleman walked into the church that we were attending and ministering at in Massachusetts. He had decided to finish his life that night. His life had been in the fast lane, nothing had come out of it. He had been in numerous relations and being a lorry driver he had ...read more

     | 5,199 views

    A Christian is to pursue righteousness, which means giving both to men and to God their due; at faith, which means loyalty and reliability which both come from trust in God; at love, which is the utter determination never to seek anything but the highest

    Opening illustration: Many years ago, there was a learned Hebrew professor at Princeton Seminary named Robert Dick Wilson. He could read more than 30 Semitic languages!

    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,245 views

    The time is coming when Christians will be persecuted right here. How do I know it? I have already traveled that road before. How will you deal with it? Let us not try to run and find a way to escape persecution but face it like Jesus did.

    Opening illustration: Video clip of persecuted Christians worldwide. Let us turn to 1 Peter 4 and check out what to expect while being persecuted for Christ. Introduction: In the nature of things persecution must have been a much more daunting experience for Gentiles than it was for the Jews. The ...read more

    Thankful Worship

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Nov 19, 2009
    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,562 views

    Can we refuse to ’Thank God’ by worshiping and bowing down when we clearly see that this God is our God forever and ever, and will be our guide, even unto death? There is a warning which follows ~ The favored nation grew deaf to their Lord’s command.

    Opening illustration: As President Washington proclaimed the 26th of November 1789 to be a day of thanksgiving. The last paragraph reads as follows: "And also that we may then unite in most humbly offering our prayers and supplications to the great Lord and Ruler of Nations and beseech Him to ...read more

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Jul 9, 2009
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,644 views

    Idolaters worship the things God made rather than God Himself. Is there anything you feel you cannot live without? Is there any priority greater than God? Do you have a dream you would sacrifice everything to realize? Does God take first place? Do you wor

    Opening illustration: Video depicting idol worship (downloaded and edited to reduce duration) ~ puts shame to our worship of the living God.

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Jul 30, 2009
    based on 6 ratings
     | 7,210 views

    As a believer our success is in the Lord based upon the choices we make. It also depends on the different events that go on in our lives and how we react to them. Apparently failures are the repercussions of the poor choices we make not lining up with God

    Opening illustration: In George MacDonald’s fairy tale Lilith, giants live among normal people. These giants must conduct their daily affairs very carefully.

    Saved From Hell

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Aug 6, 2009
    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,236 views

    Many pastors do not want to preach on HELL fearing they’ll not appear relevant. It’s pressure from the culture to not speak anything negative. Apparently we have begun to deny hell. There’s an assumption that everybody’s going to make it to heaven somehow

    Opening illustration: Video of ‘HELL’ from center of the earth. Introduction: Many pastors do shy away from the topic of everlasting damnation. "It’s out of fear they’ll not appear relevant. It’s pressure from the culture to not speak anything negative. I believe we’ve begun to deny hell. There’s ...read more

    Signature Scent

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Apr 7, 2010
    based on 4 ratings
     | 12,112 views

    A sweet aroma ascends God-ward. Godly living, which includes the proclamation of the gospel, manifests Christ to men, and thus, it brings pleasure and glory to God.

    Opening illustration: You can’t see it, hear it, or touch it, but scent is powerful. The smell of things like crayons, petunias, and colognes evoke memories that transport me to the past and bring to mind people and places I might not otherwise recall. Some celebrities have fragrances named after ...read more

    Waiting On God

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Apr 14, 2010
    based on 9 ratings
     | 13,078 views

    Waiting on God is one of the most difficult things to do. Apparently the whole life secret lies in it. What does waiting on the Lord include? Let me put it in three brief exhortations. Keep near Him; keep still; expect.

    Illustration: Themistocles, who led the Greeks in the famous naval battle of Salamis, for some reason unknown to his troops, delayed the engagement. It was expected that he would avail himself of the early morning hours; and when what seemed the golden opportunity had gone in inactivity, there were ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,294 views

    Winning a race requires purpose and discipline. As Christians, we are running toward our heavenly reward. Don’t merely observe from the grandstand; don’t just turn out to jog a couple of laps each morning. Train diligently – your spiritual progress depend

    Opening illustration: We can become distracted and look away from the goal of becoming like Christ. If you saw the movie Chariots of Fire, then maybe you remember the great runner Abraham.
