Under Authority : Week 6 - Civil Authorities

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 governm...

Under Authority : Week 5 - Delegated Authority

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 ...

Under Authority : Week 4 - The Consequences of Disobedience Part 2

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 re...

Under Authority : Week 3 - The Consequences of Disobedience Part 1

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,...

Under Authority : Week 2 - The Sin of Lawlessness

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 ...

Under Authority : Week 1 - Freedom in Submission

A very interesting scene from the film Captain America-the winter soldier, where Captain America and the black widow are in 'Zola's brain', reveals that Hydra was found on the basis that humanity could not be trusted with its own freedom. How cruel a statement is that? But how do we define freedom? Does it mean that everyone is free to do whatever he or she pleases? In such a case, imagine your body having complete freedom. Your legs take you wherever it wants, both the limbs don't even coordina...

Radical Faith

As humans, we might often respond to challenging situations with fear, anger, frustration, disbelief and the list goes on. With the growing intellect and advancement of man, we often try to find immediate solutions to our problems causing us to depend more on ourselves. During the trials, life throws at us, we can find ourselves praying for situations to work out the way we wish to. When you're up against a storm, you can either sink and drown or you can choose to face the storm and overcome it....

Do Your Best & Let God Do The Rest

'Rome wasn't built in a day, they say. It took a long time to actually build the empire and its cities. The phrase gained popularity when Queen Elizabeth I used it in a speech when she said ".....a saying which cannot take away but can at least lessen, the grief that I feel; and the saying is, that Rome was not built in one day". This phrase then gained popularity and is used to date. As mentioned, it certainly gives a cushion of comfort showing that we are only humans and great things take time...

Stand Firm & See What God Can Do

After a long wait of 2 years, a girl finally got a job in fashion designing she was desperately looking for. On the first day she realized, she wasn't going to start off with the work description she was given but would assist an official even with petty works such as making coffee. She comes on time daily, and the first thing she does is prepares coffee for her boss, as the days went by she was also asked to run some of her boss's personal errands such as purchasing a few household items or pic...

This is going to Pain

Imagine going to a restaurant, a waiter waits on you and provides you delightful service. You spent that evening very well and enjoyed the entire time. How much would you tip the waiter? Now if we imagine a completely opposite scenario, the waiter wasn't able to handle things well, he brought you the wrong order, he spilt your water, he took all the time in the world to finally get your food. How much would you tip him? Both the waiters could really use a good tip, maybe the latter had a lot run...

Stand Firm

Amidst all the troubles and problems that we face in life, all the times we feel like giving up on some things in life, Amidst all the times we feel drained out, let's keep that which keeps us alive, let's keep hoping. We welcome you for a time of recharging and reenergizing, to once again find that purpose and reason to live this in this message 'Stand Firm' by Samuel Mathew

Audacious Prayers

What fond memories do Aladdin and his magic lamp bring. The concept of getting 3 unconditional wishes fulfilled in a world where nothing comes for free. How blissful.😌 And maybe that's why it's just a film. Something like that would never happen in reality. Or would it? What if it has happened? Why and up to what extent do we believe in reaching for the stars? If we are to, whom should we ask? Does a genie exist in reality? Or is there someone who isn't trapped in a lamp and can give a zillion ...

Where's My Money? Week 7 - The Multiplication Factor

We all wish that we could have better clothes, better cars or bikes, better food, better houses, better lifestyles. Basically, more money😅. Things would be so good and so comfortable, right? So, how do we get the best out of what we have? How do we multiply what we have? Is the key to investing in stock markets? Well, it's risky? Is it a side business? We keep scratching our heads over and over again, but do we have a sure shot solution? Join us in finding out more as we wrap up the series Wher...

Where's My Money? Week 6 - The Generosity Factor

Just imagine one fine sunny morning you walk out of your home toward your office, you remember an old lady near your street who needs money. You decide to give her some as you return, but you have a huge disagreement with your boss throughout the day, you have a car accident, which costs you to pay 5k. You went for your long-awaited date but got stood up, and finally, your favourite restaurant is closed just for that day. As you reach home do you feel generous enough to give the lady some money?...

Where's My Money? Week 5 - What Mammon?

Have you ever driven a car while talking to someone over the phone? I guess most of us have. But let's add one more task to it. Have you ever driven a car while talking to someone over the phone, while also watching a movie in your car? Sounds impossible right? That's because our brain isn't actually designed to multitask. Even though we can do more than one job at a time, the tasks get just partial attention from our brain, so lesser will be productivity. I wonder if that's true for our lives i...

Where's My Money? Week 4 - First Things First Part 2

Whose numbers have we stored on our speed dial? Whom do we run to first when we have some very good news to share? Be it happiness or grief, all of us would love to share it with someone. Yes, 'someone'. We may want to share it with many people, but who would it be first? It matters. Just like the first cake bite on one's birthday, the first person we go to during life's highs and lows is a crucial decision to make. Isn't it the one who deserves to get the first place? Isn't it someone who has b...

Where's My Money? Week 3 - First Things First Part 1

Imagine a fruit spoilt from within, but looks of from the outside. Or a building that is in a poor state from the inside but well maintained from the outside. Imagine a person, depressed from the inside but decked up from the outside. Doesn't our true joy come from our heart? But what is it that actually gives us that joy? What is it that dictates our physical, mental, emotional and spiritual well being? Join us this week as we continue our series on 'Where's My Money? in Week 3, Part 1 of 'Firs...

Where's My Money? Week 2 - Taking The Test

Tests are an amazing part of academics, they help us know where we stand. Whilst it shows us our reality, it can be very painful at times. It's pretty much the same with our finances, when there's a personal audit done of our expenditures, it hurts many times to see the amounts spent on stuff that wasn't deemed important, and that too at the cost of stuff that should have been prioritized. How often do we choose to go through that pain? Or do we just ignore where we spend our money, not caring i...

Where's My Money? Week 1 - My Money, My Heart

When was the last time we had to force ourselves to get a job done? How frequently do we have to discipline ourselves to achieve something? It's not the same for some things though. Sometimes we would reach any height or depth to get what we desire. Our desire comes from our heart, and our heart follows what we treasure the most. And that's one of the reasons why money can become dangerous because most of us treasure money and we go up to any extent to get more of it. So how do we handle that? J...

When God Rocks Your World

Life is moving on normally and then there's a sudden turn of events or news that jolts you completely and then life is never the same. We've all gone through such experiences where life suddenly took a turn. One example was what happened with the COvid pandemic: life was never the same. Why does God allow this to happen? Tune in on this message that was spoken by Dr Danny Simon at New Life Mangalore.

Buried Alive

No matter how well we cleanse ourselves in a day, we have to cleanse ourselves again on a regular basis. We all know the benefits of taking a bath and how important it is. Just like after taking a bath, we feel fresh, as though everything has been reset and we're all new and clean, is there something that can refresh our hearts and minds to a new start, a clean sheet? Just as how the body needs cleansing, do our souls, our inner beings need cleansing? Can the regrets, guilts and mistakes of our ...

Plugged In

What a blessing friends are. Arguably the best part about friends is that we can mostly go to them unfiltered, not having to restrict ourselves but just be who we are. But many times we find ourselves alone even when we need someone close to us desperately, don't we? Sometimes just pouring our heart out gives so much relief. What if we have a friend invisible to the eye but ever-present and always there for us irrespective of our mood and feelings? What if we could talk to Him every now and then...

Stop Staring

How does it feel when your phone just hangs? It's not only devices that can stop working. Even we humans can just be hung in our thoughts, and stare into infinity. Its something quite common which we all do at some point in time, but why is it so? What is it that crosses our mind and pauses all our physical movements? Is it just a funny moment that our friends enjoy or should we think about this seriously? Join us as we listen to Dr Danny Simon on 'Stop staring'.

The Father's Love : Week 10 - Stayin in Love

No matter how filling a meal we would have had, after a few hours our body would again require food. Similarly, it's not possible to fill the tank of a car once and expect it to run for a lifetime. Also, the branch cannot grow or produce fruit unless it is connected to the tree and continuously receives the required nutrients. There is always a need for a continuous supply. Is it the same with love? Is it possible to love others while we are not being loved? How long can we live this way? Should...

The Father's Love : Week 9 - Turn On the Lights

"Knowing only half-truth is very dangerous". Ever guessed the reason for a thief to choose to operate in the dark? If it's so that he can't be seen, wouldn't it be difficult for him to see as well? And that's why it's always a risk. But just imagine if the lights were on as he was stealing. It's the same when we try to look for something in the dark, the object we are looking for is going nowhere but we just can't see it. Sometimes just seeing the entire picture solves half of the problem. That'...

The Father's Love : Week 8 - Rights Vs Relationship

How true is it that many times we don't listen to understand what the other person is saying, but so that we can give them a strong reply? One of the best fundas in life is to do your part, but is it enough? We live in an imperfect world and some times we can't see it but things just don't add up. In our relationships, even if none of the people involved is at fault, there seems to be an unaccounted gap which just broadens over time. Are relationships more about claiming our rights no matter wha...

The Father's Love : Week 7 - #NoFilter - Part 2

One of the greatest trademark dialogue of the Bollywood is 'mere paas maa hai'. It signifies that if one has his/her mother with her, it would surpass all the wealth one can have. Undoubtedly any mother's love towards her child is too deep to be measured, but is it true that there's no love greater than a mother's love? Will a mother really never forsake her child? Can an orphan experience something like a mother's love, or even something greater than that? Is it also possible that our relations...

The Father's Love : Week 6 - #NoFilter - Part 1

"A prejudiced mind cannot reveal the reality of life." How often do we judge others based on our past experiences? Many times we are not patient enough to know what others are going through before judging them or drawing a conclusion. There are also times we were misunderstood and judged wrongly, without our side of the picture even being heard. But does everything around us work this way? Is every sugar-coated conversation has a bitter crust under it? Is everything that offers to give something...

Obedience in Temptation

'A true leader is one who knows the way, shows the way and also goes the way'. Going the way, although being very tough, makes the difference. In order for a policeman to enforce the law, he must subject himself under the law. Is obedience just another word for slavery? Is surrendering to any authority a sign of weakness? Ever tried venturing out something new? It's always wise to consult experts before doing so, yeah? It prepares you for the best and the worst! It's the same with life! We can l...
