  • Learning from the OT Leaders | Moses - Reluctant but Willing

    We learnt from Moses

    - To be zealous and passionate about what we do 
    - To depend on God in every step of our life 
    - To have the burden for people as it is a leadership quality 
    - Some how obtain the favor of God by pleasing Him as Moses did according to Hebrews 11:24 - 26

    Quote: Intercession is not a characteristic of a prayer warrior, intercession is a characteristic of a leader. If God is burdening you to intercede, you are not just called to pray, but you are called to lead. (Life of Moses - Exodus 32:32)

  • Learning from the OT Leaders | Introduction

    At the end of this sermon we arrived at the following convictions that we need in our hearts before we further go down in this series.

    1. We are all called to lead
    2. We are all called to influence
    3. We commit to learn from the lives of the OT leaders
    4. These men and women are commented by God
    5. Leaders are defined by their characteristics
    6. True leaders are truly teachable
    7. The underlying cause of unteachable spirit is pride
    8. We are willing to ask God for a spirit of submission that accepts discipline and correction.

    Listen to the sermon to know more about these convictions.

  • Violent Night, not a Silent Night

    Today sometime we ask this question:

    - Why there are struggles for Christians in this world? 
    - Everything goes well in the life of non-believer, but I believe in Christ, why am I going through this path? 
    - Since the time I accepted Jesus Christ, I face many challenges and my family is telling me its all because you follow the God of Christians.

    I believe you will find an answer today if you listen to this sermon.

  • Build up your Resiliency

    Matthew 7:24-27 24 “Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken (compare/associate) him to a wise man who built his house on the rock: 25 and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock. 26 “But everyone who hears these sayings of Mine, and does not do them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand: 27 and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it fell. And great was its fall.”----more----

    How do we build up resilience?

    1. Be aware of your situation
    2. Be aware of your enemies
    3. Be built on God
    4. Be ready for another season

    Rain is going to come, the floods are going to raise, and the winds will blow and beat on the house; But you are not going to collapse, you are going to stand firm and strong.

    A certain amount of resiliency is already built in you. Listen to know more...
