Deaf to the Negative Scripture Reference: Philippians 4:8 - "Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things." Introduction Good morning, church! Today, I want to talk about a life-transforming choice each of us can make: becoming deaf to the negative. We live in a world filled with noise—criticism, doubt, fear, and negativity. But as children of God, we’re called to tune into a higher frequency, one that aligns with God’s promises, His truth, and His purpose for our lives. The Power of Words Words have incredible power. Proverbs 18:21 reminds us that "The tongue has the power of life and death." What we hear and internalize can either build us up or tear us down. 1. Negative Words from Others Many of us have been hurt by critical or discouraging words. People may have said, "You’re not g...

 Living with Purpose in the Present Opening Scripture:"Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom."– Psalm 90:12 Introduction:Church, how often do we find ourselves caught in the whirlwind of past regrets or future worries? We’re either dwelling on what could have been or stressing about what might be. But today, God is calling us to something greater—to live with purpose in the present moment. The present is a gift from God, and it is where His grace, love, and calling meet us. 1. Recognizing the Gift of the Present The Bible tells us in James 4:14, "You do not know what tomorrow will bring. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes."This verse isn’t meant to discourage us but to remind us of the fleeting nature of time. Each moment we are given is precious and filled with purpose. Living with purpose begins with recognizing the present as a gift. Every breath, every sunrise, every encounter is an opp...

  The Promise of Christ's Reign in the Millennial Kingdom Title: "Unto Us a Child is Born: The King of the Coming Kingdom" Text: Isaiah 9:6-7, Revelation 20:1-6 Introduction Imagine a world where there is no war, no injustice, no suffering—only peace, harmony, and joy. This is not a fantasy; it is the promise of Christ’s future reign in the Millennial Kingdom. As we celebrate Christmas, we rejoice in the birth of Jesus, the Savior, who will one day establish this perfect kingdom. Let us explore how Christmas points to this future hope and how the child born in Bethlehem will rule as King. 1. The Promise of the King (Isaiah 9:6-7) A Child Born and a Son Given : Jesus came to us as a humble baby, yet His destiny is to reign as King. Example: Imagine a prince born into a royal family. At first, he seems ordinary, but everyone knows he is destined to rule. Jesus, born in a manger, carries this divine destiny. His Titles Declare His Rule : Wonderful, Counsellor : Like a wise l...

  Galatians 5:1-26: 1. Freedom in Christ (Verse 1)    - "Stand firm in the freedom given by Christ."      Christ’s sacrifice has freed believers from the obligations of the law, so we should resist returning to a life bound by regulations or rules that do not contribute to our salvation. 2. Faith Over the Law (Verses 2-6)    - "Faith, not external rituals, is what counts."     The apostle Paul warns that relying on external practices, like circumcision, for salvation negates the power of Christ's sacrifice. True salvation comes by faith, and through love, faith finds its expression. 3. Be Careful of Harmful Influences (Verses 7-9)    - "Beware of those who hinder you from the truth."      A small influence of false teaching, like a little leaven, can corrupt the whole. Stay vigilant and grounded in true teachings. 4. Love Fulfills the Law (Verses 13-14)    - "Serve one another in love."...

"आत्मा में स्वतंत्रता और रूपांतरण" 2 कुरिन्थियों 3:17-18 परिचय: सुप्रभात भाइयों और बहनों! आज हम परमेश्वर के वचन से एक अद्भुत पद पर ध्यान केंद्रित करेंगे, 2 कुरिन्थियों 3:17-18। इन पदों में पौलुस हमें प्रभु की आत्मा के द्वारा मिलने वाली स्वतंत्रता और उसके स्वरूप में हमारे निरंतर रूपांतरण के बारे में सिखाते हैं। आइए इस स्वतंत्रता और परिवर्तन को समझें, जो हमें परमेश्वर की उपस्थिति में जीवन व्यतीत करने से मिलता है। वचन: आइए हम इस पद को एक साथ पढ़ते हैं: "अब प्रभु आत्मा है; और जहाँ कहीं प्रभु की आत्मा है, वहाँ स्वतंत्रता है। और हम सब के मुँह से पर्दा उठ गया है और हम सब प्रभु की महिमा को देखते हुए उसके स्वरूप में बदलते जाते हैं, जो महिमा दिन पर दिन बढ़ती जाती है। यह परिवर्तन प्रभु की आत्मा के द्वारा होता है।" (2 कुरिन्थियों 3:17-18) 1. आत्मा में स्वतंत्रता (पद 17) पौलुस शुरुआत में कहते हैं, "अब प्रभु आत्मा है; और जहाँ कहीं प्रभु की आत्मा है, वहाँ स्वतंत्रता है।" पौलुस किस प्रकार की स्वतंत्रता की बात कर रहे हैं? क्या यह केवल अपनी मर्जी से जीवन जीने की स्वतंत्रता ...

Freedom and Transformation in the Spirit. 2 Corinthians 3:17-18 Introduction : Good morning, brothers and sisters! Today, we turn our hearts and minds to a beautiful passage from the letter of Paul to the Corinthians, 2 Corinthians 3:17-18. In these verses, Paul speaks of the freedom that comes from the Spirit of the Lord and the transformation we experience when we live in God's presence. Let's meditate on how this freedom leads to a continual transformation in our lives as believers. Scripture: Let us read the passage together: "Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. And we all, who with unveiled faces contemplate the Lord’s glory, are being transformed into his image with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit." (2 Corinthians 3:17-18) 1. Freedom in the Spirit (Verse 17) Paul begins by declaring that "the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom." Wha...

हर क्षेत्र में अपने बुलावे, वरदानों और प्रतिभाओं से प्रभाव डालना परिचय:  आज मैं एक महत्वपूर्ण विषय पर बात करना चाहता हूँ—अपने बुलावे, वरदानों और प्रतिभाओं का उपयोग करके जीवन के हर क्षेत्र में प्रभाव डालना। परमेश्वर ने हम में से प्रत्येक को अद्वितीय योग्यताएँ दी हैं, लेकिन ये केवल हमारे अपने लाभ के लिए नहीं हैं। ये हमारे परिवारों, कार्यस्थलों, समुदायों और चर्च में परिवर्तन लाने के लिए हैं। बाइबल में हम देख सकते हैं कि परमेश्वर के नायकों ने अपने ईश्वर-प्रदत्त वरदानों का उपयोग करके अपने चारों ओर की दुनिया को बदल दिया।  आइए देखें कि कैसे हम भी, इन बाइबिल नायकों की तरह, हर क्षेत्र में प्रभाव डाल सकते हैं। 1. अपने बुलावे और वरदानों को पहचानना दुनिया पर प्रभाव डालने के लिए अपने वरदानों का उपयोग करने का पहला कदम यह है कि परमेश्वर ने हममें से प्रत्येक को अनोखे तरीके से वरदान दिया है। हर व्यक्ति को परमेश्वर से एक बुलावा मिला है, और यह जानना महत्वपूर्ण है कि वह बुलावा क्या है। रोमियों 12:6 कहता है, "हमारे पास अलग-अलग वरदान हैं, जो हमें दी गई कृपा के अनुसार हैं।" बाइबिल का नायक: मूसा मूस...

  Impacting Every Sphere with Our Calling, Gifts, and Talents Introduction:   Good morning, church! Today, I want to talk to you about something that affects every aspect of our lives—our **calling, gifts, and talents**. God has blessed each of us with unique abilities and has called us to use them for His glory. But how often do we think about how these gifts are meant to impact **every sphere** of our lives—our homes, workplaces, communities, and even our faith? Let's explore how we can make a meaningful difference by using the gifts God has given us. 1. Recognizing Our Calling and Gifts The first step in using our gifts to impact the world is recognizing that **God has uniquely gifted each one of us**. No one is left out. Every single person in this worlds has been given abilities that are meant to be used for God’s purpose. Romans 12:6 says, “We have different gifts, according to the grace given to each of us.” Do you know the gifts God has given you? Some of you may feel ...

  Becoming Better Without Changing Who We Are     True love, whether from God or in human relationships, does not demand that we change our identity but encourages us to grow into the best version of ourselves.   1. Opening Thought - We live in a world that often pushes us to conform or change to fit in.   - True love—whether from God, a spouse, or a friend—does not require us to change who we are at our core.   - Instead, real love helps us to become better versions of ourselves, encouraging growth without erasing our unique identities. 2. Biblical Foundation **1 Corinthians 13:4-7 (NIV)** – The nature of love:   - Love is patient, kind, not self-seeking, not easily angered.   - It does not demand or manipulate change but rejoices in the truth and supports growth.   - Love always protects, trusts, hopes, and perseveres—these are the foundations for becoming better without changing who we are.   Key   - Love is about nurturing and h...

  Trusting in God’s Perfect Timing Introduction: We often find ourselves caught in the tension between our timing and God’s timing. We may have our own plans and expectations, but God operates on a timeline that is always perfect. Today, let’s explore the significance of trusting in God's timing and how it impacts our faith and daily lives.   I. Understanding God’s Timing:   1. Divine Sovereignty:    - God’s timing reflects His sovereignty and omniscience. He sees the bigger picture and understands what we cannot.    - Ecclesiastes 3:1 affirms that "To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven." This means every event in our lives has a designated time set by God.   2. God’s Perspective:    - Unlike us, God’s perspective is not limited by time or circumstance. He knows the right moment for everything and acts in ways that fulfill His purpose and plan.    - Isaiah 55:8-9 reminds us, "For my thoughts are...

 शैतान इन बयानों का उपयोग परिवारों या रिश्तों को नष्ट करने के लिए हथियार के रूप में कर सकता है। --- **1. "मुझे किसी पुरुष/महिला की ज़रूरत नहीं है"**   यह साझेदारी के बजाय अलगाव और आत्मनिर्भरता को बढ़ावा देता है। लेकिन परमेश्वर ने हमें संगति और समर्थन के लिए बनाया है।   *बाइबल वचन:*   _"दो एक से अच्छे हैं, क्योंकि उनका परिश्रम सफल होता है। यदि उन में से एक गिरे, तो दूसरा उसके साथी को उठाएगा। परन्तु जो अकेला हो और गिरे, उसका उठाने वाला कोई न हो, तो उसके लिये हानि ही है।" (सभोपदेशक 4:9-10, HINDI OVB)_   परमेश्वर ने हमें एक-दूसरे की कमजोरियों में सहारा देने के लिए बनाया है, पूरी तरह आत्मनिर्भर होने के लिए नहीं। संगति को अस्वीकार करना शैतान की अलगाव की रणनीति का हिस्सा है। **2. "तुम्हें बदलने की ज़रूरत है"**   हालाँकि विकास आवश्यक है, किसी और से बदलाव की मांग करना आपको श्रेष्ठता की स्थिति में रखता है और नाराजगी को बढ़ावा देता है। सच्चा बदलाव प्रेम से, न कि मांगों से आता है।   *बाइबल वचन:*   _"तू अपने भाई की आंख के तिन...
