    We have become captives to situations and occurrences in our lives. Because of the failure of others and yourself in life, anxieties are skyrocketing, and you become a stronger captive to these situations.

    Humility Of Christ

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on May 24, 2024
     | 889 views

    In our text we see the Lord Jesus loving men who did not deserve it. Luke (22:24) tells us that at the Lord’s Supper, just after Jesus announced that one of them would betray Him, the disciples got into a dispute about which of them was the greatest.

    Opening illustration: We all can relate to Linus in the “Peanuts” cartoon strip when he shouts in frustration, “I love mankind; it’s people I can’t stand!” It’s easy to love the human race in the abstract, but when it comes to loving specific irritating people that I can’t avoid, the process ...read more

    Cost Of Freedom 1 Series

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on May 24, 2024
     | 1,105 views

    Cost of any freedom has never been cheap. For our freedom, Christ died and shed His blood as a ransom for our sins. If the cost was not paid by His blood, we would only be redeemed temporarily and would continue to live as slaves like the folks of the OT.

    Opening illustration: With the dismantling of the Soviet Union in 1991 and the subsequent lifting of the iron curtain, Eastern Europeans jubilantly celebrated the freedom they had long been denied. However, some of the first “freedoms” to be exercised in these formerly communist countries were ...read more

     | 601 views

    For some that means accepting Christ as your Lord and Savior so you might be set free from the penalty and presence of sin, and then learn how to live each day free from sin's power.

    Opening illustration: You ever watch those shows about these submarines that go down 2 and a half miles to the wreck of the Titanic? That’s one thing that I think I could never do. To be crammed into a machine not much bigger than a telephone booth with 2 other guys, 2 miles below the surface of ...read more

    “What the Church needs today is not more machinery or better, not new organizations or more novel methods, but men whom the Holy Ghost can use—men of prayer, men mighty in prayer” (E.M. Bounds).

    Opening illustration: “What the Church needs today is not more machinery or better, not new organizations or more novel methods, but men whom the Holy Ghost can use—men of prayer, men mighty in prayer” (E.M.

    based on 1 rating
     | 940 views

    In this story, Jesus leaves the ending open. There was still time for the self-righteous to repent as well. There is still time for you. Have you drifted far from God?

    Opening illustration: Play the video “Daddy’s Love.” Introduction: On this ''Father's Day'' we will take an in-depth look at the genuine love of God, which is depicted in the love of the prodigal's earthly father. The sinfulness of the son was great, but the graciousness of ...read more

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Jun 13, 2024
     | 1,141 views

    A dad is a partner with God in making disciples of his children. The greatest characteristics of God to me is that He is a Father. He is our everlasting Father. He is a Father to the fatherless.

    OPENING ILLUSTRATION: Play the video “They will never stop looking at you.” INTRODUCTION: FATHERLESSNESS: All children have a father, but not all children have a father in their life. An estimated 24.7 million children (33%) live absent their biological father. According to 72.2 % of the U.S. ...read more

    Return For Revival

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Jun 13, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 1,555 views

    The invitation was to live in the ways of God. It was an invitation to come back to the ways that the people knew were right. When Hosea uses the words “let us”, he speaks in clear terms here to communicate that those who needed to return to the LORD were not alone.

    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

     | 1,264 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.

    "It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life. "But there are some of you who do not believe." For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were who did not believe, and who would betray Him. And He said, ...read more

     | 1,476 views

    Paul is clearly talking about unity in the church. He is talking about the kind of harmony that should exist among those people who really love the Lord, among those people in whom the Holy Spirit is living.

    Opening illustration: Our power is shut off, and suddenly we become thankful for electricity. Our garbage is not picked up, and suddenly we become thankful for the garbage collector’s weekly stop. A good friend dies, and suddenly we discover how much he meant to us. Our water becomes too polluted ...read more
