In the midst of our fast-paced lives, intentionally creating space for God is essential. God's transformative power becomes evident when we create space for Him in the center of our lives. Main Idea: Creating space in our lives for God to experience His transformative powerThis teaching covers three important factors: 1. The need to create space for God in our lives3. Aspects of creating space 4. How do we create space for God?
"If you want to change your life, you have to change your story."
How do you change your story? Do we have the power to change our story? Only Jesus can change our story. That's why, when you and I come to Jesus, our lives are not determined by where we are coming from or what we have done but rather by where we are going and what Jesus has done for us.
"To be content with God's provision. God provides in every season of our lives, but instead of enjoying and staying content, we desire things that could be and should be." One of the hardest tasks in life is learning to be content. "Content" does not necessarily mean passive, unimaginative, or lacking initiative. "Content", as it is used in this text, refers to being satisfied with "such things as you have."
Highlighted areas: 1. The Israelites' complaints 2. The Danger of Discontentment 3. How to Overcome Discontentment (Take Away)
We are living in a time where our faith, principles, and way of life are challenged daily. A true leader and a faithful believer in Christ are constantly bombarded by the enemy, world systems, and, unfortunately, attacks within the church to shake our belonging to God's purpose and Jesus. Especially In times of challenges and difficulties, it's common to question our sense of belonging and identity. However, as believers, we can draw strength from our faith to affirm our belonging even in the midst of adversity. Through this teaching, we are going to focus on understanding the importance of affirming our belonging to God's purpose and in Christ despite external and internal challenges.
Three critical components: - Challenges to belonging - Four crucial questions that every leader and believer must ask oneself - How to affirm your belonging to God's purpose and in Christ
Joshua 5 illustrates the significance of preparation, remembrance, and surrender as the Israelites stood on the threshold of God's promises. As we, too, face various thresholds in our lives, let us learn from their example by fully committing ourselves to God's covenant, remembering His faithfulness, celebrating His redemption, trusting in His provision, and surrendering to His authority. By doing so, we can confidently navigate through life's challenges and embrace the abundant blessings God has in store for us.
Takeaway: 1. Instead of rushing to conquer and possess your promises, take time to Pause and reflect (rest, revaluate and restore) 2. Focus on renewing your relationship with God. Ask honest questions, How strong is my relationship with God compared to last week? 3. Change our mindset from a hand to mouth mentality to sowing and reaping. Search for God’s presence and encounter before taking a step forward.

The dictionary definition of empower is “to give power or authority to; to authorize.” It can also mean “to enable or permit.” When you are empowered, you are enabled or permitted to do what your calling requires of you.
Main Passage: John 4:28-30
The story of the Samaritan woman perfectly illustrates how God sent Jesus not to condemn the world but to save the world through him. Jesus humbles himself, engages the woman in conversation, sets her free from shame and guilt, and empowers her. She arrives at the well as a sinner but leaves as an empowered saint. Encounters with God will do that to someone, even YOU!
She goes through four stages of transformation.

Nehemiah 1:2-6
When we say Yes to God, we stop being spectators (fans in the stands), and we join other believers on the field, working together with bold faith and action to advance God’s Kingdom As God gave Nehemiah favor in a foreign kingdom, he will give you favor in our lives (work, school). Remember that there is a Kingdom purpose behind that. God used Nehemiah to restore His people out of exile, which ultimately led to the renewal of His promise and covenant
Jesus serves as the ultimate example of how to live a life that reflects the values and principles of the Kingdom of Heaven. Jesus aligned with the principles and values of the Kingdom of Heaven, which He exhibited through His life and created a heavenly influence that drew people to His Kingdom. It's important to note that living out a kingdom lifestyle is not about achieving perfection but rather a continuous journey of growth and transformation. The Holy Spirit enables and empowers us to live in alignment with Jesus' example and to bring God's kingdom values to the world around us. Seek to follow Jesus' teachings and emulate His life to impact communities positively and participate in advancing God's kingdom on earth. :- Kingdom lifestyle creates Kingdom Culture on earth as it is in Heaven. When God’s people live in the atmosphere of heaven on earth and practice the kingdom lifestyle, then we create the Kingdom Culture.
The Kingdom lifestyle can be defined as a way of living that aligns with the principles and values of the Kingdom of God. It is a life lived in intimate relationship with God, bringing glory to Him and reflecting His Kingdom here on earth. Importance of living according to the principles of the Kingdom:Living according to the principles of the Kingdom is of utmost importance as it aligns us with God's will, enables us to reflect Christ's character, influences the world, counters worldly values, facilitates personal transformation, and keeps us focused on eternity.

Kingdom Mind, a new paradigm 1. Definition: Kingdom Mind refers to aligning our thoughts and perspectives with the principles and standards of God's Kingdom. 2. Importance: Kingdom mind enables us to live according to God's will and experience the abundant life He promises. 3. The Need for a New Paradigm: A Fundamental change in our thinking and gaining King's and His Kingdom’s Perspective.
- The Kingdom Mind helps us to break the divisive boundaries created by the kingdom of evil and darkness and helps people to find freedom to embrace a heavenly, Kingdom life.
- Kingdom Mind encourages us to transform the spiritual, emotional, and intellectual mindsets developed by self centered, egoistic, and greed filled modern cultures.
- By embracing and developing the Kingdom mind, we become better equipped to navigate challenges and contribute value, meaning, purpose, and eternity to the people around us.
- In essence, the Kingdom Mind represents a paradigm shift that empowers individuals and communities to co-create with God a more meaningful heaven on earth experience.

Psalm 13 We hate waiting. We long for God to “hurry up.” However, God uses delay in the life of every believer to set the stage for developing our faith and maturity to handle God-sized blessings.

While people are drawn to and ruled by darkness, God is raising up a generation to bring forth more revival, reformation, and restoration. I believe that God is raising up a Hezekiah generation in our time. When one generation lived their lives by worshiping the gods of this world and despising and rejecting the living God, God was not going to abandon us, but He was getting ready to raise up another generation with a greater anointing. A generation is rising up to open some closed doors. A generation rising up to break the chains that held an entire generation away from God.
Main Passage: Luke 24:30-31 30 As they sat down to eat, he took the bread and blessed it. Then he broke it and gave it to them. 31 Suddenly, their eyes were opened, and they recognized him. And at that moment he disappeared!Title: The Road to victory“Encountering the Risen Christ" - This story teaches us about Jesus reaching out to those who were disturbed, afraid, disheartened, unbelieving, and caught up in their circumstances and the importance of recognizing Christ in our midst. - The story of the Road to Emmaus is a powerful account of how two disciples who were afraid, confused and filled with disillusion encountered the risen Christ. And how Jesus turned the Road to Emmaus filled with defeat into the road to victory. Live streaming Copyright License #20714391
The resurrection of Jesus Christ is the most significant event in the history of the world. It is something so miraculous that even for the believer we can barely take it all in. Jesus Christ, a human being, was crucified for our sins and then three days later rose again. From all we know about being human, this could not have happened. But yet, it did. The aftermath of this event changed everything that matters.But the majority of Christians resurrection of Jesus Christ is the end of the story. But today we want to remind you that the resurrection of Jesus Christ is the beginning of our story. We live out our faith from that eternal truth. Let this message stimulate your faith and create hunger to experience the ongoing power of Jesus' resurrection. Even now, resurrected Christ is doing wonders and your life and situation can experience that power. 1. The power of resurrection opens the graves2. Resurrection began from one man3. Resurrection into eternity

Sermon series: Glorious life Week 5: Courageous Main Passage: Matthew 21:1-11I. Jesus has all authorityII. Jesus is courageousIII. Who do you say that Jesus is?“You are the Messiah, the Son of God, who is come into the world.” -Jesus’ friend, Martha, in John 11:27.“You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.” - Jesus’ disciple, Peter, in Matthew 16:16.“We know that this man really is the Savior of the world.” -the entire town of Sychar, after spending two days with Jesus, in John 4:42.
Welcome to week 4 of our glorious life Sermon Series as we take a 6-week journey to the resurrection. Each week we are looking at a different aspect of Jesus’ life and ministry during His time here on earth. Each week we are getting a glimpse into the glorious life possible in and through Christ. In week one we discussed Jesus’ humility and last week we tackled Christ’s overcoming temptation. This week we take a look at one of Jesus’ most powerful habits; contemplation, or being still and quiet with God. Main Scripture: Mark 1:35 Very early in the morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left the house and went off to a solitary place, where he prayed. Definition: “Contemplation” The action of looking thoughtfully at something for a long time. The act of spending devotion with the Father for the sake of knowing Him more and for the sake of taking rest in Him.How to develop a more fulfilling and devoted life of contemplation, prayer, and stillness?1. Lift your eyes up“I lift up my eyes to the hills. From where does my help come?My help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth.”- Psalm 121:1-2The principle here is that there are times, each and every day, when we need to stop what we’re doing and look up.“Looking up” causes us to change our perspective and focus on something else. Or in this case someone else… 2. Practice Stillness"Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth." - Psalm 46:10 “For God alone my soul waits in silence; from him comes my salvation.” - Psalm 62:1To find peace:“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”- Matthew 11:28-30
Series: Glorious life Week 3 • TemptationMain passage: Luke 4:1-14 NLTBig Idea: Jesus faced numerous temptations, yet he was able to resist & overcome them all as well. His example gives us the necessary lessons for overcoming temptation in our own lives.The three temptations that Jesus had to go through that constitute Satan’s entire game plan and how to be victorious over those …… Satan has only three temptations, three plays in his playbook: the Lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life. And he runs them over and over again…… Scripture: 1 John 2:16 “For everything in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—comes not from the Father but from the world.”Reasons why Devil tempts us: 1. The Devil is after your “Worth” 2. The Devil is after your “Worship”, 3. The Devil knows that your faith and anointing shall increase in the wilderness. 4. The Devil knows that on the other side of the test, God is waiting to fill you with more anointing. How did Jesus overcome the Devil’s temptations?1. Stayed focused on His identity.2. Stayed devoted to His father.3. Stayed dedicated to His purpose. Jesus was able to do all that through the power of the Word:- Jesus responded with scripture. “For the word of God is living and active and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing as far as the division of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart.”- Hebrews 4:12
As believers, we identify with Jesus in His life, His death by dying to our old self and being raised to glorious life. Resurrection of Christ is a reminder that the Christian lives day in and day out with power that can overcome any challenge. In our darkest days, it gives us light. In overwhelming discouragement, it gives us faith. In the midst of devastating loss, it gives us joy.The fact that Jesus rose from the dead gives hope to us that since death was defeated, then there is nothing that cannot be overcome. For that reason the centerpiece of the Christian faith is the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Big Idea: The big idea behind this sermon series is to make us understand that we can overcome any struggles and challenges by looking at Jesus , learning from Jesus and leaning on Jesus Christ. Part 1: Obedience (By His obedience) Part 2:Humility (By His humility) Part 3: Temptation (By His temptation) Part 3: Contemplation (By His contemplation) Part 4 Palm Sunday: Courageous (By His courage) Part 5: Resurrection (By His resurrection)

“Is anything too hard for the Lord? I will return about this time next year, and Sarah will have a son.””Genesis 18:14 NLTAnything is attainable with God. As our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ demonstrates to us today, even the seemingly impossible may be made possible. Maybe at some point in your life you saw the impossible become possible.Several once-impossible things have become a reality since the turn of the century.Why does God desire to turn our life's impossibilities into possibilities?To Change the trajectory of your life. Impossibilities in our lives are causing shame and pain and forcing us to settle with something that is not our destiny but possibilities that God can cause in our lives can set us on a path for achieving greater things and most importantly glorify God.

God is able to turn your Setbacks into Set ups to experience the next level of miracle that will propel you further more towards your destiny.” Part 1”Set up”: 2 Kings 20:5Part 2 “He is calling you out”: John 11: 43, 44Part 3 “Get your life back!”:John 5:1-7 Part 4: “Breaking the prison”: Acts 16:25,26Part 5: Part 5: “Victorious life”: Philippians 1:12-14
God is able to turn your Setbacks into Set ups to experience the next level of miracle that will propel you further more towards your destiny.” Part 1”Set up”: 2 Kings 20:5 : God turned Hezekiah’s deathly sickness into a setup to heal him and extend his life. Part 2 “He is calling you out”: John 11: 43, 44: Jesus turned Lazarus’s set back(Death) to set up to demonstrate His Authority and power. Part 3 “Get your life back!”:John 5:1-7: Jesus himself came to heal a nameless man who has been lame for 38 years and was stuck at a place surrounded by misery. Part 4: “Breaking the prison”: Acts 16:25,26 : Paul and Silas were thrown into the Philippi Jail. But God used that which was a setback to set up to teach us that He is still the Chain breaker & prison breaker.
We continue to hear what God has been speaking to us from the first Sunday of this year,2023.Setback that you have been experiencing in your life, God is going to use that to set you up for bigger miracles & breakthroughs. “God is able to turn your Setbacks into Set ups to experience the next level of miracle that will propel you further more towards your destiny.”
Then Jesus shouted, “Lazarus, come out!” And the dead man came out, his hands and feet bound in grave clothes, his face wrapped in a head cloth. Jesus told them, “Unwrap him and let him go!” - John 11: 43, 44 This Word is the continuation of what was spoken last Sunday that every setback that you have been experiencing in your life, God is going to use that to set you up for some bigger miracles & breakthroughs.“God is able to turn your Setbacks into Set ups to experience the next level of miracle that will propel you further more towards your destiny.”
Happy New Year 2023!This is a prophetic word for you in 2023,. Every setback that you have been experiencing in your life, God is going to use that to set you up for some bigger miracles & breakthroughs.2 Kings 20:5 “Go back to Hezekiah, the leader of my people. Tell him, ‘This is what the Lord, the God of your ancestor David, says: I have heard your prayer and seen your tears. I will heal you, and three days from now you will get out of bed and go to the Temple of the Lord.
He is the one who thunders through the heavens yet whispers to our hearts. Who reigns victorious yet bows to serve the broken. He is God in the fury, God in the silence. He is Jesus!Scripture: Christ is the visible image of the invisible God.He existed before anything was created and is supreme over all creation, for through him God created everything in the heavenly realms and on earth. He made the things we can see and the things we can’t see such as thrones, kingdoms, rulers, and authorities in the unseen world. Everything was created through him and for him.He existed before anything else, and he holds all creation together. - Colossians 1:15-17
We encounter tough challenges in our lives but we want to encourage you that whatever you may be facing presently will pass and be assured you will arrive at the destination to experience Joy.
God's dedication to us is not proportional to the depth of our faith. Even our most profound doubts cannot stop God's blessing when He is ready to do so.
Birthing expectation, anticipation and longing for supernatural. May God mark us with this Word to confirm that He is about to birth supernatural through the Holy Spirit in our lives.
By the power of the Holy Spirit, believers may conquer the desires of the flesh, which constantly threatens them.
Why do we need to walk by the Spirit?
- The Holy Spirit helps us have a better eternal life.
- The Holy Spirit’s ultimate purpose is to call us into greater levels of obedience.
- The Holy Spirit's intention is not to help us in our personal mission but press us into greater submission to God so that we can bear much fruit in the world.
Ultimate Purpose: Life filled with the Holy Spirit is not you trying to live for God but letting God live through you.
Principle practice of thankfulness was given by God to His people ages ago while they were in Egypt. God asked them to develop an attitude with pure religious practices of Passover. Before Passover night, the Lord gave clear and precise instructions to the Israelite people regarding the actual Passover event, how the Israelites were to leave Egypt, and the ritual and practices of the Passover tradition for generations to come. After directing the Israelites in the events of Passover night, Moses then informs the Israelites that they will be practicing a feast, a Passover feast, as a ritual for all the generations to come. Speaking on behalf of God, Moses says: "You must keep this(Remember) command as a law for you and your descendants from now on. 25 Do this when you go to the land the Lord has promised to give you. 26 When your children ask you, 'Why are we doing these things?' 27 you will say, 'This is the Passover sacrifice to honor the Lord . When we were in Egypt, the Lord passed over the houses of Israel, and when he killed the Egyptians, he saved our homes.'" Then the people bowed down and worshiped the Lord. - Exodus 12:24-27
How to develop a Godly practice of thankfulness? 1. By remembering 2.By practicing 3. By teaching

Scripture: Ezekiel 47:6-9&12 (NLT) God used Ezekiel when Jerusalem had just been wiped out. The Babylonians have wasted the city and destroyed the temple. The people are grieving and mourning, oppressed and discouraged. During that dark time God showed a vision to Prophet Ezekiel, a river of healing. We see a miraculous river that flows from beneath the door of the temple and passing to the right of the altar on its south side to Jerusalem out to the wilderness and to the forsaken places. The Lord showed Ezekiel the better day that’s coming. Likewise the Lord wants to remind us better days are coming.
“Blessed are those who hunger and thirst after righteousness for they shall be filled,” Jesus declared- Matthew 5:6 Who is filled? Those who hunger and thirst for more of God. If you’re satisfied with where you’re at, you’ll never receive more. It’s when you say, “I’m tired of the death, the dryness, the impotency, the inability within me and around me. I want more of the Lord. I need more of the Lord,” that the river begins to flow.
"I will pour water on him that is thirsty and floods upon the dry ground."- Isaiah 44:3.

Purpose of Hindrance: To stop you from believing, divert you from your route, and ultimately compel you to give up on your life's dream and mission.
Definition of Hindrance: something that opposes, stalls, or obstructs someone or something. "the act of interfering or delaying someone or something's progress"
How do you deal with those hindrances? When the devil tries to divert you from what you know the Lord wants you to do, how do you keep going? I want us to learn this today through studying a man by the name of Nehemiah. He overcame certain hindrances that the devil had put in his path. How did nehemiah tackle those hindrances?

Main Passage: John 16:33 (NLT) I have told you all this so that you may have peace in me. Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows. But take heart, because I have overcome the world.”
Hours before His crucifixion, Jesus is in the upper room. After investing three years of His life in His disciples, He’s sharing final instructions with them. Jesus knew beforehand that troubles and hard times are waiting for Him and His followers. And He prepares His disciples to be battle ready to face any situation, or Challenges. But Jesus prepares them by giving three elements that would prepare them to face any situation. Likewise if we grab hold of these three elements, we are prepared to prevail against any challenges.
Download the sermon to learn three key elements.
We live in a world where storms of trials, sickness and hardships will come. How as the children of God it is important for us to realize that preparation is necessary to face any storms that may come against us. It’s not a matter of if the storms are going to come, it's a matter of when. The storms are coming and there will be adversity, suffering, and pain, push backs, etc. When we are faced with any of these we need to be prepared beforehand, ready for whatever may come our way. So the big question is when the storms come, what are you going to do? I am going to encourage you to anchor your life in God’s promises.
Goal: That’s why through this message I want to highlight the necessity of anchoring our life in God’s promises.
This teaching is to help us understand that we have no control over any situation. So don’t spend your emotion, and valuable time, and health on things that you don’t have control over. So start letting go of that control and allow God to take control of your life and situation and experience, joy, fulfillment, peace/tranquility and focus.
Key points to help destroy the illusion of control: 1. By Loving God 2. By the promise given to us 3. Through the process of surrender
Note: Don't miss out some key teaching points that Pastor Jaison brought through these above mentioned keys.
Main Passage: 1 Chronicles 16:43
Main idea: With this teaching we wanted to be inspired to build our homes as the shadow of the house of God. Simply put like this, “What happens at Church comes home”. How blessings are carried to our homes.
When we hear the word talent, immediately what comes into our minds? Ability, gifting, etc. But biblically when we try to understand talent, it gives us the understanding that talent is weight. Back in those days they used bags to weigh everything.

Sermon: by Pastor Jaison Koshy On Father’s Day Sunday. Teaching on privileges bestowed upon us as the children of God and how to steward those privileges.
This teaching is to help us understand that the entirety of our Christian life is functional by the power of believing. Only by Believing in the Gospel and the resurrection of Christ shall give us eternal life, Purpose, and joy.
Nelson’s Bible Dictionary defines faith as a belief in or confident attitude toward God, involving commitment to his will for one’s life. Nelson also says belief is to place one’s trust in God’s truth. A person who believes is one who takes God at his word and trusts in him for salvation.

Moving into the New Year we must be aware of God’s light in us so that we are compelled to motivate and encourage others around us to know God.
Pride is the root of all sin.
Scripture: “And he gives grace generously. As the Scriptures say, “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.”” James 4:6
Daniel’s story gives us a clear understanding about who our God is and how He is always with us no matter what we had to go through. He protects us and also promotes us to the place of Honor in the midst of shame, and schemes.
All of us from time to time can relate to that kind of weariness. This message gives us three principles to overcome weariness. 1. The Principle of Approach 2. The Principle of Assurance 3. The Principle of Response

In a believer’s life, nothing is coincidental or accidental. God’s hand is in every detail. God providentially controls the events in our lives
Mark 4:35-41
Application: 1. Be assured, if Jesus is in your boat. (He is the main Character, the hero of your story. 2. When you encounter Conflict, Just Look and learn from Jesus. 3. Don’t be afraid and continue to have faith in Jesus because He will resolve the problem and calm every wind and storms.
2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.
Acts 3:4 Peter looked straight at him, as did John. Then Peter said, “Look at us!”
According to Webster the Word “Courage” is defined as “mental or moral strength to venture, persevere, and withstand danger, fear, or difficulty”
“Courage is fearlessness in the pursuit of what sets your soul on fire.”
Learn more how we can build courage by surrendering to God and believing Him. As you take each step by courage through fear factors, you will be able to see fear becomes more obsolete.
Main Passage: Isaiah 40:25-31
“God’s greatness calls for attention”.
When we learn to behold the greatness of God we will be able to see the light in the darkness, hope in the hopelessness, rest in times of weariness.
In this story what really God spoke to me is about four kinds of soils on which a farmer scattered the seeds and I would like to give you a side by side comparison of four categories of people/ or groups that followed Jesus Christ and also four kinds of hearts, and how they respond to God’s Word in four different ways.
For those who have been waiting on God for something(Miracles, breakthroughs, promises) to happen, I have an encouraging Word for you my friends. God has been in the suddenly moments for ages. And you are about to experience God’s suddenly moment in your life.
Three keys that will help you to prepare while waiting for something to happen: 1. Worship while waiting. Acts 16:25,26
-
Stay united while waiting. Acts 2:1-2
-
Hold your faith while waiting. 1 Samuel 3:3-4

“God reveals Himself in strange places and at unexpected seasons.” For instance, He once revealed Himself in a stable.
God is not irresponsible and arbitrary in what He does, His actions are always consistent with His nature, which is holy, just, wise, and loving. Scripture: “For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works…. Ephesians 2:10
Main Passage: John 11:21-23 Martha said to Jesus, “Lord, if only you had been here, my brother would not have died. 22 But even now I know that God will give you whatever you ask.” 23 Jesus told her, “Your brother will rise again.”
“ if you had been here, my brother wouldn’t have died”. In other words, “If only you had come sooner, my brother wouldn’t have died”.
This is merely an attempt at “a” Christian perspective; not “the” Christian perspective. We believe there are others who, based upon personal experience, professional expertise, or doctrinal background, can and hopefully will add to this discussion. Our desire is to start a conversation rather than speak the final word.
This conversation is a “perspective on” more than a “response to” mental illness. Christians have a response to sin, injustice, and other moral matters that we oppose and seek to eliminate. Christians have a perspective on politics, calamities, and other experiences in which we want to influence or offer care. Similarly we must have a goal and responsibilities to influence conversations about mental illness in the church and, thereby, equip us to be more skilled at caring for one another.
When God tells you to stand up from your misery, take that Word by faith because that Word is God’s command that will enable you to rise up.
We hope this Episode blessed and empowered you. Our perspective is Christ centered and our goal is to help people to find the right direction to God and right resources to overcome the battle of mental Illness.

John 2:7-11 Your best is yet to come. Only Jesus can turn your Insufficiency into overflowing blessings: Your worst situation will be an opportunity for God to display His glory.
In order for Jesus to perform miracles in your insufficiency, We must; 1. Invite Jesus 2. Approach Jesus: 3. Only Jesus: “Believe, only Jesus can do miracles in my insufficiency”
Mankind is asking three questions: Origin- identity-destiny. I want to propose, Jesus Christ. Only by and through Him we have the answer for all our questions. -You cannot be right in anything unless you think rightly of Him.
“Jesus did not come to make bad people good but dead people alive”

Eternity is not a delusional thinking or some religious ideology, but reality. Today or tomorrow we all have to face this reality. Only Jesus and proximity with Him will direct us to eternity. Eternity is our destiny and the road starts from the point of salvation.The journey that started from "the garden" ends at "the glorious city of God".
Binding and loosing is a principle that is used as a spiritual key and very important contextual significance for the believers and the Church. Historical significance: Binding and loosing is originally a Jewish Mishnaic phrase also mentioned in the New Testament, as well as in the Targum. In usage, to bind and to loose simply means to forbid by an indisputable authority and to permit by an indisputable authority.
Gen 22:9-18 “When they arrived at the place where God had told him to go, Abraham built an altar and arranged the wood on it. Then he tied his son, Isaac, and laid him on the altar on top of the wood. 10 And Abraham picked up the knife to kill his son as a sacrifice. 11 At that moment the angel of the Lord called to him from heaven, “Abraham! Abraham!” “Yes,” Abraham replied. “Here I am!” 12 “Don’t lay a hand on the boy!” the angel said. “Do not hurt him in any way, for now I know that you truly fear God. You have not withheld from me even your son, your only son.” 13 Then Abraham looked up and saw a ram caught by its horns in a thicket. So he took the ram and sacrificed it as a burnt offering in place of his son. 14 Abraham named the place Yahweh-Yireh (which means “the Lord will provide”). To this day, people still use that name as a proverb: “On the mountain of the Lord it will be provided.” 15 Then the angel of the Lord called again to Abraham from heaven. 16 “This is what the Lord says: Because you have obeyed me and have not withheld even your son, your only son, I swear by my own name that 17 I will certainly bless you. I will multiply your descendants[a] beyond number, like the stars in the sky and the sand on the seashore. Your descendants will conquer the cities of their enemies. 18 And through your descendants all the nations of the earth will be blessed—all because you have obeyed me.”
The Lord hath need. The Lord hath need? Why would the creator of all things have need of anything? The reason He borrowed a manger, a boat, a donkey, an upper room, and a tomb is because He was rich for our sake became poor (2 Corinthians 8:9). Why? He chose to place himself in a position where He would need to partner with us in order to see His will worked out through us.
It is a question to each one of us to create a spiritual expectation to receive your breakthroughs and miracles.
1 Kings 18:41-46
Joshua 8:1 God can organize a victory out of your mistakes.
In order to turn your defeat into victory the first step is the willingness to start again ,a new beginning.
Worship: I thank God I thank God because He saved me, conquered death and satan. Bible teaches us in Isaiah 25:8 "He will swallow up death for all time, And the Lord God will wipe tears away from all faces, And He will remove the reproach of His people from all the earth; For the Lord has spoken." Only through Jesus we have Joy of Salvation and this is a testimony Song of the greatest victory that we can have.

Sermon: How many of you know that Christian faith has a distinctive aroma?
Christian faith not only has purity, tangibility, existentiality but also aromaticity. Christian faith creates an extensive aroma that not only fills our being but also permeates into the atmosphere.
Joshua 6:4-5 4 Seven priests will walk ahead of the Ark, each carrying a ram’s horn. On the seventh day you are to march around the town seven times, with the priests blowing the horns. 5 When you hear the priests give one long blast on the rams’ horns, have all the people shout as loud as they can. Then the walls of the town will collapse, and the people can charge straight into the town.”
The instructions of the Lord : Joshua knew that to face and defeat any challenges he had to depend and follow God’s instructions. The conquest begins and ends with God’s instructions. No situation is too great for the Lord to handle, and no problem is too much for Him to solve.
God demands obedience to the things he is asking you to do.
Hudson Taylor a great missionary to China said there are three different ways to serve the Lord: 1) To make the best plans we can and hope they succeed; 2) To make our own plans and ask God to bless them; or 3) To ask God for His plans and then do what He tells us to do.
This strategy to bring these walls was foolish in the eyes of the man but God’s wisdom is far above ours. He delights in using people and plans that seem foolish to the World.
This message is to bring our attention to three factors that are involved in our conquest and victory, as we move forward. As we move forward in Christian life, we are going to face many challenges but we must understand that we fight from victory, not just for victory. Joshua 6:1-5 Syrian preacher and martyr John Chrysostom (347-407) said that, and he was right; for the Christian life involves challenges and conflict whether we like it or not. Our enemies are constantly waging war against us and trying to keep us from claiming our inheritance in Jesus Christ. The world, the flesh, and the devil(Eph 2:1-3) are united against Christ and His people just as the nations in Canaan were united against Joshua and the Jewish nation. But let me encourage you today that there is no crown without the Conflict. There is no victory without a war.

For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, And the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. – Isaiah 9:6 “And he will be called, ‘Everlasting Father.’” “The father of eternity”
Joshua 6:1-5
In order for these walls to come down. 1. Submission to the Lord 2. Waiting on the Lord 3. Praise the Lord
Why we need revival? Listen to the timely message by Pastor Jaison Koshy. Our nation and society is going to through crisis and only God can heal and restore. So let us position ourself to usher in the plans and presence of God.
Genesis 1:1,2 In the beginning God created the heavens(cosmology) and the earth. 2 The earth was without form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters.
Two truths I want to speak to you: 1. For God Chaos is not a hindrance, but an opportunity. 2. Chaos is one step away from God’s move.
Welcome to International Christian Church weekly podcast. This week Pastor Jaison Koshy addressed the issues of our present day world. We as Christian has a response. We need to check are we reactive to the situation or proactive. Our response is compelled by the love of God and never allow us to dilute the message because of the pressures of this world. Let us listen to this message and find more hope and faith.
Restoring the value of home altar. Listen to the must needed message we need at this time.
Jesus Christ is- “the Messiah(Savior),the Son of the Living God(Position and Purpose).” If you do not begin with the truth about Jesus- that he is the Messiah, the Son of the living God, you will not go on correctly. You cannot be right in anything unless you think rightly of Him.
John 19:38-42 Later, Joseph of Arimathea asked Pilate for the body of Jesus. Now Joseph was a disciple of Jesus, but secretly because he feared the Jewish leaders. With Pilate's permission, he came and took the body away. He was accompanied by Nicodemus, the man who earlier had visited Jesus at night. Nicodemus brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about seventy-five pounds. Taking Jesus' body, the two of them wrapped it, with the spices, in strips of linen. This was in accordance with Jewish burial customs. At the place where Jesus was crucified, there was a garden, and in the garden a new tomb, in which no one had ever been laid. Because it was the Jewish day of Preparation and since the tomb was nearby, they laid Jesus there. (NIV)
Matthew 28:18&20 Jesus came and told his disciples, “I have been given all authority in heaven and on earth. 19 Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. 20 Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”
The “Go” statements of Jesus: “13 times” Go into all the world Go where I Go Go further than expected Go share your story Go Show compassion Go to the last sheep Go in peace Go and proclaim the Kingdom of God Go to the undesirables Go sell your possessions Go the way Go to my brethren Go make disciples
Learning from the scriptures what salvation means. Resurrection gives us the perfect example of life we have in Christ Jesus!
Sermon Series: Grow & Go Part 2 Fruit: bitter or sweet
Fruit : The most frequent translation in the original Greek/Hebrew has a symbolic meaning. For instance, all crops are considered to be the "fruit of the earth". Children are referred to as the "fruit of the womb". The Bible also says that your words are the "fruit of the mouth".
People in both ancient and modern times use the word fruit to define results, products, outcomes, or achievements.
Did you know that God measures your character by your fruits?
MAT 12:33"Make a tree good and its fruit will be good, or make a tree bad and its fruit will be bad, for a tree is recognized by its fruit. You are known by what fruit you produce.
Now here’s the key point I want you to understand.....you are doing one of three things in your life right now. 1. Bearing good fruit like you are commanded to do 2. Bearing bad fruit that is not beneficial to anyone 3. Bearing no fruit
How to Discredit the enemy?
- Shift your focus
- Look through the eyes of God
- Give credit to God “Praise magnifies God and makes Him bigger than your problem/enemy”
2 Chronicles 32:7,8 “Be strong and courageous! Don’t be afraid or discouraged because of the king of Assyria or his mighty army, for there is a power far greater on our side! 8 He may have a great army, but they are merely men. We have the Lord our God to help us and to fight our battles for us!”
Genesis 39:19-23 Potiphar was furious when he heard his wife’s story about how Joseph had treated her. 20 So he took Joseph and threw him into the prison where the king’s prisoners were held, and there he remained. 21 But the Lord was with Joseph in the prison and showed him his faithful love. And the Lord made Joseph a favorite with the prison warden. 22 Before long, the warden put Joseph in charge of all the other prisoners and over everything that happened in the prison. 23 The warden had no more worries, because Joseph took care of everything. The Lord was with him and caused everything he did to succeed.
- Stay Faithful
- Stay Focused
- Stay Still
Definition Crush : deform, pulverize, or force inwards by compressing forcefully. Press : move or cause to move into a position of contact with something by exerting continuous physical force. Scripture: Luke 22:41-43 41 He withdrew about a stone’s throw beyond them, knelt down and prayed, 42 “Father, if you are willing, take this cup from me; yet not my will, but yours be done.” 43 An angel from heaven appeared to him and strengthened him.44 And being in anguish, he prayed more earnestly, and his sweat was like drops of blood falling to the ground.
