Belvedere Sermons with Rajiv Khatri

When was the last time you cried for someone who doesn’t know Jesus?

In Romans 9, Paul reveals a heart so burdened for the lost that he describes having “great sorrow and unceasing anguish.” Even for the very people who rejected and persecuted him, Paul desperately longed for them to know Christ.

In this message from our Who’s Your One? series, we confront a difficult question: Have we become too comfortable with the lostness of the people around us?

We’ll look at the reality of what it means to be separated from Christ, why God’s sovereignty should never make us passive in evangelism, and the incredible hope of the gospel: Paul could only wish that he could take the curse for others—but Jesus actually did.

Your one is not too far gone.

God still saves sons and daughters.
God still saves husbands and wives.
God still saves parents and friends.
God still saves.

So write down their name. Pray for them. Share Jesus with them. And trust the God who is still bringing sinners from death to life.

Who is the one person you’re praying will come to know Jesus? A child, a spouse, a friend? Their story matters to God.

In the opening message of our Who’s Your One? series, Pastor Rajiv Khatri explores Luke 15:3–7 and the parable of the lost sheep. Discover God’s concern for the lost, His relentless pursuit, and the joy of heaven when one sinner repents.

This message challenges us to notice the people we walk past, build meaningful relationships, and keep praying for those we love. If you’ve been praying for someone for years—or feel far from God yourself—there is encouragement here for you.

Jesus came to rescue us. Now He invites us to share His heart for others.

Your challenge this week: Pray, “Lord, show me my one,” and take one intentional step toward that person.

The Battle Is Real. But the War Is Already Won. | Matthew 6:13

What if the answer to temptation isn’t simply trying harder?

In this powerful final message from the Lord’s Prayer series, we unpack Jesus’ words: “Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.”

Why do we keep falling into the same patterns, even when we genuinely want to change? What’s the difference between temptation and surrender? And what does it really mean to ask God to deliver us?

This sermon explores the reality of spiritual battle, the weakness of our own willpower, the schemes of the evil one, and the hope of a Savior who has already won the war.

You’ll discover why:

• Temptation is not the same as surrender.
• Your weakness is not a reason to run from God—it’s a reason to run to Him.
• The enemy wants to use temptation to isolate and accuse you.
• Jesus doesn’t simply tell us to try harder; He teaches us to pray for deliverance.
• If you are in Christ, you have already been rescued from the dominion of darkness.
• You were never meant to fight alone.

Whether you’re battling temptation, exhausted from a long season, carrying a hidden struggle, or simply wondering how to pray when you feel weak, this message points you back to the same hope:

The battle is real. The war is already won. So pray.

What does Jesus really mean when He teaches us to pray, “Forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors”?

At first, these words can sound frightening—as though God’s forgiveness depends on how well we forgive other people. But Jesus is pointing us toward something much deeper: the connection between the forgiveness we have received from God and the forgiveness we extend to others.

In this sermon, we explore what sin, debt, mercy, and forgiveness really mean. Why does Jesus use the language of debt? Why does forgiveness require a cost? And what does it reveal about our hearts when we desperately want God to forgive us, yet struggle to release the people who have hurt us?

The answer leads us from the Lord’s Prayer to the cross.

Your forgiveness is free to you—but it was not free to God.

Jesus Christ took the debt we could never pay and absorbed it Himself. And if we have truly received that mercy, His mercy begins to change how we treat those who have sinned against us.

This message also addresses one of the hardest realities of forgiveness: forgiving someone doesn't mean pretending the hurt didn't matter, abandoning justice, or automatically reconciling with someone who harmed you. Forgiveness is choosing to surrender personal vengeance to God.

So who is the person you can't forgive? What do they owe you? And what would it look like to finally hand that debt over to God?

Because mercy received turns into mercy given.

What does it really mean to pray, “Give us today our daily bread”?

In this message from Matthew 6:11, Pastor Rajiv explores why Jesus teaches us to depend on God not just for our spiritual lives, but for the ordinary, everyday needs we often take for granted.

We live in a culture that tells us security comes from having more—more money, more savings, more control, and more certainty about tomorrow. But Jesus teaches us something radically different: to trust our Father for today.

Through Scripture, personal testimony, and the story of Israel in the wilderness, this message challenges us to examine where we are really placing our security. Are we grateful for what God has already provided, or have His gifts slowly become a substitute for dependence on Him?

Daily bread is more than food. It is everything God provides to sustain us—our work, our health, our relationships, our resources, His mercy, and His grace.

And ultimately, the greatest proof that God is generous is not found in our bank account. It is found at the cross.

“He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all—how will he not also

What if God’s will isn’t a smaller life, but a better one? In this sermon, we explore what it really means to pray “Your will be done”—not as a safe escape from disappointment, but as an honest surrender to a God who is good, who will never lose His people, and who is making all things new.

Learn why obedience flows from being loved and accepted, and why trusting God begins by looking to Jesus.

What happens when we finally step off the throne of our own lives? In this powerful sermon, we explore Jesus’ prayer, “Your kingdom come,” and what it means to live under the rule of the true King. From Genesis and the fall to the cross, resurrection, and Christ’s promised return, discover why Jesus is King right now—and how His kingdom changes the way we live, work, suffer, serve, and hope.

What if the biggest problem in your life isn’t that you’re failing to worship—but that you’re worshiping something too small?

In this powerful sermon on “Hallowed Be Your Name,” we slow down and unpack the first request of the Lord’s Prayer: “Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name.” What does it actually mean to hallow God’s name, and why does Jesus begin His prayer here?

This message explores three life-changing questions:

Whose name is this?
God’s name represents who He is—His character, holiness, compassion, grace, faithfulness, and love.

What did we do to it?
Every human heart is made to worship, but we often give our worship to money, control, approval, relationships, success, comfort, or reputation. Whatever sits at the center of our lives ultimately shapes us.

What did God do about it?
God doesn’t simply tell us to try harder. He promises to give us a new heart. At the cross, God’s holiness and mercy meet perfectly: the very people who profaned His name are washed clean and brought home through Jesus.

Drawing from Matthew 6, Exodus 34, Ezekiel 36, John 12, Habakkuk 2, and Revelation, this sermon challenges us to stop merely saying we believe in God and become a people who truly adore Him.

The prayer is bigger than personal transformation. We pray that God’s name would be hallowed in me, in our church, and in our city—until the day comes when the whole earth is filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord.

You don't change simply by trying harder. You change when a greater love takes hold of your heart.

Listen, reflect, and ask yourself: What is the “master password” of your heart? What would cause your world to fall apart if you lost it?

May we learn to pray—and live—“Father, hallowed be Your name.”

What if the reason your prayer life feels dry isn’t that you need a better prayer technique—but that you’ve forgotten who you’re talking to?

In this powerful sermon on the Lord’s Prayer, we slow down and sit with these simple words: “Our Father in heaven.”

Jesus doesn’t teach us to approach God like a police officer waiting to catch us doing something wrong. He teaches us to come like a child who knows they belong—freely, honestly, and without fear.

But God is not merely a comforting Father. He is “in heaven.” He is holy, majestic, sovereign, and glorious. He is high enough to help you and near enough to hold you.

For those who have experienced an absent, distant, or painful relationship with an earthly father, this message explores the difference between the broken picture and the perfect Father God has always been. Your earthly father does not define God—God defines what fatherhood was meant to be.

And there is an even deeper truth: we can call Him “our Father” because Jesus brought us home. The gospel is more than being forgiven and released from the courtroom. Through Christ, we are adopted into God’s family. We receive a Father, a family, and a home.

This sermon will challenge you to stop rushing through prayer with a list of requests and instead begin where Jesus began:

Our Father in heaven.

Before you ask for anything, remember who He is.
Before you clean yourself up, come to Him.
Before you worry about having the right words, simply say, “Father.”

God is high enough to help you—and near enough to hold you.

What does powerful prayer really look like?

In this message from Matthew 6:5–8, Pastor Rajiv explains that prayer is not about performing for others, using impressive words, or trying to convince God to listen. Prayer is simply coming honestly to a Father who already knows what you need and deeply cares for you.

Through a powerful personal story of discovering the Lord’s Prayer inside a Hindu temple, Pastor Rajiv shares how Jesus transforms prayer from an empty ritual into a relationship with God.

Because of Jesus, you do not have to earn your way into God’s presence. Your Father is already listening—so come to Him.
