Did it ever happen in your class that a small doubt from a classmate, bamboozled the teacher and made her doubt her concepts? How often do we hear stories of how just one employee changed the entire company's management and structure? Do such things happen only in movies? Think again...

We live in a realistic world where the only thing that is constant is change. You have the potential to affect the people around you, your teachers, seniors, boss and authorities. The question is do we want to take the pain of bringing a change where it seems impossible? If so, how do we do it all by ourselves?

Did you know that in some severe burn injury cases, if the patient's internal organs are badly burnt, they are not allowed to drink water for a few days till the doctor deems it safe? Sometimes the patient has a severe urge to drink, he or she becomes very thirsty but has to control it, if not the organs would succumb and can lead to even death. Sometimes that's how our lives are sometimes, we feel to blast our teachers, bosses or superiors for all the wrong they do and for hurting us. But that would have severe consequences.  What then do we do? Should we fold our hands and suffer in silence?

What if there is a way such that we don't lash out our anger and yet feel peace?

Toby had a tough day. He couldn't log in on time for his online class, and so lost his attendance, he performed poorly in his weekly test later that day. His mom was frustrated over matters of work and yelled at him for a petty issue. He wanted to meet up with his friends but a proper monsoon shower spilt water over their plans. Completely frustrated he locks himself in his room, switches the lights off, plugs in earphones and listens to rap music. It gives him peace, he feels "less frustrated". That's his corner, a place where he can rest and be assured of peace of mind. 

What's that place in your life? Where do you find solace? What makes you feel peaceful?

Just imagine if meeting God would give you the most peaceful experience. 

Join us as we listen to the second part of 'Revival' in Types of Altars by Samuel Mathew.

We all begin well usually. As we go forward, we expect things to keep getting better. But somewhere in between at the middle, things sometimes seem to take a detour, a different tangent and we end up being in a place where we never thought we would be in. 

How often have we wished we could go back and have a fresh start? So that we don't repeat the same mistakes and go forward. But life never gives us the ability to go back and start over. Someone once said, "You can’t go back and change the beginning, but you can start where you are and change the ending.” Isn't that true?

Join us as we learn how in this week's message, "Revival: Rebuilding the Altar" by Samuel Mathew.

"Zindagi me musibat kabhi khatam kyu nahi hota....?" This dialogue from a Bollywood movie can be relatable for everyone. We all face problems after problems, struggles and difficulties. The saying "Life isn't a bed of roses" is an understatement. It should have been 'In life sometimes we will find roses amongst a lot of thorns'. 

But why is this so? Why is life so painful? How do we lead a good life when nothing is stable? Who controls our life? Is it by chance that everyone is suffering? 

Amongst so many questions, will we find 'any' answer at all??

Join us as we learn from the title 'When God Shakes Your World' by Dr Ajit Cherian.

Sometimes it's frustrating to submit to a governing authority you differ in opinion. In a world where peace and turmoil co-exist, where the youth of this generation protest at high volumes, where every governing decision made is met by criticism and rebellion, are we indeed progressing as a nation?

Although democracy revolves around the idea that everyone has the right to voice their opinions we deviate from the fact that all authorities are God appointed. It is good for us that there is government instead of anarchy. 

In a democracy, civic authorities are appointed by people and many times the elected leadership may not be what you desire. Earthly authority, is appointed authority. 

Does submitting to your appointed civic authority challenge you? What if we told you that submission to delegated authority must come no matter how good or bad they may be?

One of the most respected emotions is the spirit of sportsmanship, it's playing fair and adhering to the rules of the game. But when a player doesn't adhere to the rules of the game, there are certain penalties for the same. It means that the rules that are in place aren't an option, they are mandatory and applicable to any and everyone, without any exception. This is what maintains the spirit of fair play and sportsmanship. 

How necessary is it to follow rules then? What happens when they begin to strangle us? What happens when these rules start to irritate us? Do we get any reward for adhering to these rules? Or are we just tolerating them with utter disgust?

Christianity is often categorised as a religion. However, it is a way of living. When we live this life we have a choice: either we follow our own path or the path God has set for us. 

Following God's path is not easy and never has been. When we arrive at the crossroads of life, we have the choice of choosing what is right or wrong, there is no in-between or middle ground. 

Disobedience to God is a fulfilment of our own desires, where we exalt ourselves and our needs higher than God and in turn rebel against Him. The idea of doing what is right, what is good, what is acceptable comes from our own human understanding. 

So, are we rebelling against God when we do what we think is right? Are we living in bondage when we do as we please? How does disobeying God affect our walk with Him? 

Join us as we learn more from 'The Consequences of Disobedience - Part 2' in Week 4 by Pastor Mathew George.

It is said that 'the only thing constant in this world is change.' It really is true, isn't it? But we as humans always refrain from change when brought by others. In other words, we don't like to be schooled by others, we would accept change only when we deem it right. Hypocritical it may seem, but it has to do with humility and ego. Obedience comes when we humble ourselves and submit to our authorities. And disobedience is when we rebel and want to impose our own desires. 

But even as children, why do we have the urge to fight our authorities? Why does it feel more comfortable to be a rebel and disobey? Why is obedience so difficult? Don't we get empowered when we rebel? Aren't we truly free when we follow our own desires? What then is wrong in disobeying?

Archimedes principle-one of the groundbreaking discoveries made in human history. It explains why wood floats in water while metal sinks. It shows why ships can sail over long distances. But humans used this principle almost daily for hundreds of years before it was discovered. 

One of the most important proofs that humans are the most intelligent beings is reasoning and asking why. That gives us purpose and motive, pushes us and makes our determination stronger. But just imagine if humans would have waited for Archimedes to be born and discover buoyancy, would they have been able to journey across the oceans? 

As children we were taught many rules and manners, which we followed blindly, just so that we would not be punished. But it's after we grew up we realize how useful most of them were if not all. Is it ok to obey our authorities even though we don't see where they're leading us? Should we fight against everything that we don't like or don't understand? The soldiers on a battlefield blindly follow the orders of their superiors. Why so? Should we do the same when required?
