    Are You Connected?

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Apr 24, 2024
     | 24 views

    Are you connected to Jesus? Perhaps you realize that you’re disconnected, far from him. You need to be plugged in, grafted on. Look at the cross, and discover his great love for you, to lay down his life for you.

    Opening illustration: Use an electric appliance to show how its connectivity to power, keeps it working well. Introduction: Jesus had just washed the feet of his disciples, led them through a final meal, instituted the Lord's Supper, and now walked with them to the Garden of Gethsemane, where ...read more

    How are you doing individually? Are you exhibiting unity with the Christians you know? Do you have a genuine love for the brethren -- including the brothers and sisters we have around the world, in different cultures and countries?

    Opening illustration: A young African refugee who goes by the name of Steven is a man without a country. He thinks he may have been born in Mozambique or Zimbabwe. But he never knew his father and lost his mother. She fled civil war, traveling country to country as a street vendor. Without ID and ...read more

    Anointed Worship

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Apr 24, 2024
     | 11 views

    It's easy to put on a show for others to see but is your worship heartfelt? Are you preoccupied with this idea that Jesus must be exalted through every facet of your life?

    Opening illustration: Some of us may feel pressured to be perfect when we go to church so that people will think well of us. Metaphorically speaking, we work hard to make sure we have every hair in place. But a healthy church is a place where we can let down our hair and not hide our flaws behind a ...read more

    Yet this star meant different things to different people. What does this star mean to us? How does it relate to me? How can I relate the star to others?

    Opening illustration: A man and his small son who were walking slowly down the streets of a large American city one Christmas time. It was wartime, and the child was delighted to see many service stars hanging in the windows of homes. Each star proudly proclaiming the fact that the son was in the ...read more

    Opening illustration: Play video of Office Christmas. Introduction: We know that the church is supposed to be about Christ's mission on earth - preaching the gospel, making disciples, baptizing and teaching them.

    Living Jesus

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Apr 24, 2024
     | 2 views

    Faith is not just believing that Jesus can save; it's asking Him to do it.

    Opening illustration: Suppose you are rushed to the hospital, where a physician examines you and informs you that you are critically ill. He says you’ll die unless you have proper treatment. He then prescribes medicine and says, “If you will take this, I can assure you with absolute certainty that ...read more

    Giving Birth To A Vision

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Apr 24, 2024
     | 6 views

    We need to be at the right place at the right time when God wants to give birth to the vision that He has already conceived in us.

    Heart In The Right Place

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Apr 24, 2024
     | 1 view

    Most of us are farsighted about sin—we see the sins of others but not our own.

    Opening illustration: “Could they not carry their own garbage this far?” I grumbled to Jay as I picked up empty bottles from the beach and tossed them into the trash bin less than 20 feet away. “Did leaving the beach a mess for others make them feel better about themselves? I sure hope these people ...read more

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Apr 24, 2024
     | 2 views

    He alone holds the power to turn around any difficult season or loss we may be facing, and bring great blessing and good through it all …

    Opening Thought: Often when things don’t seem to go right in this life, we start feeling like we’ve been left on our own. Pressures surround, troubles cling, we may be facing huge loss, or we find ourselves in long seasons of waiting. God’s timing seemed off during the 400-year gap between the OT ...read more

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Apr 24, 2024
     | 4 views

    Do you know God’s peace in the midst of situations that the world gets anxious about? If not, examine yourself: Is your faith in Him and your focus on His kingdom, rather than on selfish pursuits?

    Opening illustration: Review my life: 1970-71 was the Indo-Pak war and my family and I were in the war-zone living most of the nights in blackouts and bunkers when the war planes would come. 1980’s (for a decade) national unrest and civil war. 1990-91 we were just married and thrust into region of ...read more

    How can you respond to the LOVE of Christ? Just like Zacchaeus, this morning you have an opportunity to respond to why God’s love matters …

    Introduction: This morning many of us may be wondering what is this color of Easter? When we spread the canvas of Easter and paint the biblical picture, it has many shades.

    Denying Yourself

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Apr 24, 2024
     | 4 views

    Revival revolves around this very notion and directly balances on the denial of ourselves and the cross we carry. Are we ready to take it on? Are we ready to carry our cross?

    Illustration: Passion Season - Jesus enters Jerusalem on a donkey. What is He denying himself? Jesus is in the garden of gethsemane. What is He denying himself? What cup does He choose? Jesus is put on the cross. What is He denying himself? The path is different because it is the path of ...read more

    Opening illustration: University of Florida quarterback Tim Tebow, who became the first sophomore to win the Heisman Trophy, was honored by the Florida Senate.

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Apr 24, 2024
     | 4 views

    Puts things in perspective, doesn’t it? The message is the same this Christmas. Because of the Father’s love … whoever takes the Son gets it all. Will you take Him this Christmas?

    Illustration: Kids have a hard time waiting for Christmas. Here are some actual letters that were written to Santa: Dear Santa Claus, When you come to my house there will be cookies for you. But if you are real hungry you can use our phone and order a pizza to go. Dear Santa, I want a Puppy. I ...read more

    When we do so, the Spirit speaks to us via the living and active Word of God.

    Opening illustration: Play a video of Bible Connection. Introduction: The Bible also records a surprising source of energy from a food. When Elijah had been used by God on Mt. Carmel to call fire down from heaven, this spiritual high was followed by persecution and melancholy. In response to ...read more
