Truth has become a casualty in today’s world—from "little white lies" to character assassination, deception is everywhere, even within church communities. In this message on the Ninth Commandment, we explore why God calls us not to give false testimony and how this command still shapes our lives today. Gossip (the whispered lie), slander (the weaponized lie), and flattery (the whitewashed lie) are all ways we compromise truth, damaging relationships and grieving God. From the Garden of Eden to our daily decisions, deception often stems from doubting God's goodness and trying to take control through dishonesty. Many believers don’t realize how these small compromises can hinder their prayers or spiritual growth, yet Scripture warns that God hates a lying tongue (Proverbs 6:16–19). True change begins not with behavior modification but heart transformation. As we follow Jesus—the way, the truth, and the life—our words begin to reflect His character, building others up with grace and truth (Colossians 4:6). Join us and discover how living truthfully brings lasting freedom and deeper connection with God and others.

Drowning in a sea of "more" while feeling less satisfied than ever? The Tenth Commandment—"Thou shall not covet"—might be the spiritual lifeline you've been searching for.

In this eye-opening exploration of contentment, we unpack why this ancient command speaks so powerfully to our modern struggles with materialism and comparison. When Henrietta Garrett died in 1930 with $20 million but no will, a staggering 26,000 people suddenly claimed relation to her—people who never cared about her in life. This cautionary tale sets the stage for understanding how unchecked desire leads to disastrous consequences.

Your value isn't determined by your valuables. Your purpose exceeds your possessions. Join our 10-week journey through the Ten Commandments and discover how being satisfied with what you have might be the most revolutionary act in today's acquisitive culture. Connect with a Life Group near you and start experiencing the freedom that comes when you break the cycle of wanting more.

Struggling with lukewarm worship? You’re not alone. While creation naturally praises its Creator, we often come distracted, disconnected, or overcomplicating what should be simple. Worship doesn’t require perfect music or emotions—it just needs spirit and truth. Some of the most powerful worship in Scripture came from dark places, like Paul and Silas in prison or Job in grief. True worship is praising even when we don’t feel like it. When we shift our focus from problems to God, everything changes—our spirit lifts, God feels nearer, and our perspective transforms. Ready to move from routine to real worship? Come prepared, stay present, and praise anyway.

Dreams often come long before their fulfilment. Joseph saw visions of greatness while still young, only to face rejection, betrayal, and years of hardship. From slavery to false accusation and prison, his journey seemed to contradict the promise. Yet God was at work behind the scenes. When famine struck, Joseph’s wisdom saved nations, and his brothers unknowingly fulfilled the dream they once mocked. What seemed like delay was divine preparation. Wherever you are—pit, prison, or Potiphar’s house—remember: God’s timing is perfect, and His promise still stands.

What does it really mean to know Jesus—not just know about Him?

In the Road to Emmaus story, Pastor Anand reminds us that Jesus was never a victim. Even in death, He was fully in control, fulfilling every detail of God's plan.

The disciples thought the cross was defeat—but it was victory in disguise. Like them, we often miss Jesus walking with us in pain. But when we understand the covenant, our eyes are opened.

He’s still the same faithful, covenant-keeping God. The only question is: do you truly know Him? That answer changes everything.

What happens when fear grips your heart and everything seems out of control? In this powerful exploration of faith versus fear, we journey through Biblical stories of people whose hearts melted in moments of crisis—yet chose to trust God anyway.

Rahab stands at a crossroads, paralyzed by fear as the Israelites prepare to destroy her city. Though terrified, she makes the courageous decision to believe what she's only heard about God rather than what she can see with her own eyes. This pivotal choice completely rewrites her story, transforming her from a woman in a fallen city to a mother in the Messiah's lineage. Her example reminds us that faith isn't the absence of fear—it's choosing to trust God even when we're afraid.

The woman with an issue of blood suffered for twelve years before her miraculous healing. Those years weren't wasted—they were preparation. God was chiseling away her pride and self-dependence, tuning her heart to recognize that only Jesus could truly restore her. When she finally reached out in trembling faith to touch His garment, Jesus stopped everything to acknowledge her. Sometimes God makes us wait not to punish us but to prepare our hearts to give Him the full glory He deserves.

Through the parables of the Ten Virgins and the Ten Minas, we see how our response to fear determines our destiny. Are we preparing spiritually while we wait, or letting comfort dull our urgency? Are we investing the gifts God has given us, or hiding them in fear? God isn't looking for perfect hearts—He wants hearts that melt into trust and action.

What's holding you back today? Is it fear, insecurity, or hopelessness? Let God melt away these barriers and replace your heart of stone with a heart of flesh. No matter what you've done or where you are, He's willing to rewrite your story. The question is: will you surrender to Him while there's still time?

Ever feel stuck in your spiritual growth? That simple Sunday school line—“He’s still working on me”—holds deep truth. Transformation isn’t instant; it’s a lifelong journey that takes intention and grace.

Spiritual growth means shedding our old nature, not just adding new habits. Many struggle because they either hold onto old patterns or fail to fill the gap with Christ’s character.

Paul’s words in Philippians 3 give us the blueprint: forget the past, focus on Jesus, and press on toward maturity. Like Jesus and Paul, we’re called to live with purpose and finish strong.

What’s holding you back? Past pain? Distractions? Today is your chance to refocus. Fix your eyes on Jesus—the journey is hard, but knowing Him is worth everything.

Easter isn’t just a holiday—it’s a daily invitation to live in the power that raised Jesus from the dead. His resurrection means our sins are not just forgiven but erased, and we’re free to walk in new life.

Christianity took root in India as early as AD 52, and its message still transforms lives today. Whatever you're facing—regret, fear, or brokenness—Christ's resurrection power offers hope, healing, and purpose.

Don’t just remember Easter—encounter the risen Christ and live in His resurrection every day.
