Salvation’s Secret: Confessing Jesus as Lord in Your Life

June 9, 2024 • Ravi Kandal • Romans 10:9–11

In this sermon, we explore the powerful message in Romans 10:9-11, where Paul emphasizes the importance of confessing Jesus as Lord and believing that God raised Him from the dead. This two-fold act—believing and confessing—opens the door to salvation, allowing us to experience the fullness of God’s kingdom.

We dive into the historical context of the Roman Empire and how Paul wrote to believers living under an earthly king, yet proclaiming the heavenly kingship of Jesus. Confessing Jesus as Lord means acknowledging His authority over our lives—our past, present, and future. Salvation isn't just about escaping punishment; it gives us power over sin, the pressures of the world, and even ourselves.

Paul also highlights how salvation works in three tenses: it forgives our past, empowers us in the present, and guarantees our future in eternal life. When we confess Jesus as Lord, we unlock the doors to God’s kingdom, gaining access to His resources, peace, and power.

The sermon encourages us to delay responding to the enemy’s attacks and instead align ourselves with God's truth. By confessing Jesus and standing firm in His promises, we experience victory over the world, the flesh, and the enemy.

Join us as we unpack what it truly means to confess Jesus as Lord and live in the freedom and power of His kingdom!

God’s Plans, Not Goals

September 29, 2024 • Ravi Kandal

In today’s sermon, we explored the transformative power of faith and how it shifts your life from emptiness to fullness in God. What you honor, you become—when you honor God, you reflect His nature. As Christians, you're called to live by God’s plans, not merely by setting goals. His plans bring progress, experience, and favor into your life. Faith, even as small as a mustard seed, has the power to grow into something extraordinary. Through faith, you gain understanding and the ability to bring solutions, not just for yourself but for others. Jesus taught that faith leads to life and freedom, moving you from a place of emptiness to a place of divine purpose. It's time to shift from worldly emptiness to the fullness of God’s Spirit. Like an eagle learning to soar, your faith, though it may start small, empowers you to rise higher and embrace the abundance of God’s provision. By trusting in His plans, you can experience healing, strength, and step into the solutions God has prepared for you.

Lineage of Greatness

September 22, 2024 • Ravi Kandal

This message is about stepping into crazy faith. Join us in this sermon as we look at Ruth, Boaz, and David, and how they didn’t settle for the ordinary—they trusted God in the unfamiliar. When you align yourself with God, you’re not just stepping into His blessing, you’re setting up a lineage of greatness. First, meet God where you’ve found Him before, in the familiar, to establish stability in your faith. Once you have that foundation, God will push you into the unfamiliar, and that’s where you need to trust Him even more. What feels unfamiliar to you is already known to God. And here’s the key: it’s not about rushing or forcing things. It’s about waking up every day, ready to find God, to ambush His presence, to seek Him where you’ve found Him before, and to trust that He’s leading you into something bigger. Let’s stop holding back—God’s already ahead of you, and He’s got more in store than you can imagine. Let’s have the kind of faith that lets Him take us there.

Clinging to Redemption

September 15, 2024 • Santosh • Ruth

In this sermon, our amazing friend Santosh powerfully explains how God uses frustration to lead us to greater fulfillment, drawing lessons from the story of Ruth and Naomi in the Bible. When Naomi loses everything and feels abandoned, her daughter-in-law Ruth clings to her, showing unwavering loyalty and faith. Through their journey, we see how God's redemptive plan unfolds even in the midst of loss, leading to blessings beyond what they could imagine. This message reminds us that in our own times of struggle and frustration, God is preparing us for something greater. Join us as we learn how frustration leads to fulfillment.
