What does a real encounter with God actually look like?In this message, we explore the undeniable evidence that follows when someone truly meets Jesus. A genuine encounter is more than a moment of emotion; it produces lasting transformation. Hearts change. Priorities shift. Hunger for God increases. Lives begin to reflect His presence.If you’ve ever wondered whether your experience with God was real or you’re longing for something deeper, this message will help you recognize the signs of a true encounter and challenge you to pursue Him with sincerity.God is still meeting people today and when He does, everything changes.

Spiritual growth was never designed to come from pressure. It doesn’t come from pushing harder, doing more, or trying to force change. That path leads to burnout, not breakthrough.Jesus points to something different: abiding.Abiding is not striving.It’s staying.It’s remaining connected.It’s living from relationship, not performance.A branch doesn’t strain to produce fruit. It stays connected—and fruit comes naturally.When connection is right, fruit is inevitable.If you’ve been trying hard and still feel stuck, this is your reset.Shift from effort to connection.From pressure to presence.From striving to abiding.

Part 2: God’s Pattern of Preparation Throughout Scripture, a pattern repeats itself: 40 days. 40 years.This is not coincidence. It’s a God-ordained rhythm of seasons where He prepares, tests, and transforms His people before what comes next.If you’re in an “in-between” season, this message will help you understand what God is doing beneath the surface.In this sermon, we explore six powerful dimensions of the “40” season:• The Testing Ground — the season that reveals what’s really in you• The Hidden Place — the season where God prepares you privately• The Turning Point — the moment that shifts everything• The Window of Mercy — the invitation to realign with God• The Encounter Zone — where you meet God deeply and personally• The Battlefield — where spiritual warfare becomes undeniableThese are not wasted seasons. They are intentional. God is forming something in you.Practical Application:Stay faithful when it feels slowStay disciplined when it feels dryStay obedient when it feels unclearStay expectant—because something is formingIf this message speaks to you, share it with someone who’s in a waiting season.For prayer request, please feel free to contact us at www.globalicc.org/contactTo give please click www.globalicc.org/giveCash App $iccglobalVenmo App @iccglobalSubscribe to our weekly podcastApple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/international-christian-church/id1076335656Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1mKKhWqCqr7rkXsdsqpgRx?si=1f717cde8a5846c2Live streaming Copyright License #20714391

Main Text: Deuteronomy 8:2There’s a part of the journey most people don’t talk about.Not the excitement of starting.Not the joy of arriving.But the tension of the middle.The in-between season can feel slow, uncertain, and even frustrating. It’s the place where nothing seems to change around you—but everything is being shaped within you.In Deuteronomy 8:2, we’re reminded that the wilderness was never wasted. God was leading, humbling, testing, and forming His people. What felt like delay was actually development. What looked like wandering was intentional.This message is for anyone who feels like they’re in that space right now. Not stuck. Not forgotten. But being prepared.God does His deepest work in the seasons we’re most tempted to quit.Anchor Thought:A season where you’re not stuck, but shaped.Part 2 will be next Sunday.If this message speaks to you, take a moment to like, share, and subscribe.

Every person eventually comes to a crossroads in life.It is a moment when the road behind you cannot be walked again, and the road ahead is unclear. Sometimes we arrive there because life becomes difficult. Sometimes we arrive there because of decisions we regret.At a crossroads, people often feel lost, uncertain, and alone.This is the Scripture that will shows us something remarkable: the crossroads of life can become the very place where God meets us.When you’re at a crossroads, God reveals a stairway. The trajectory of life will change when Heaven meets you at the crossroads.  In Genesis 28, Jacob finds himself at a crossroad moment. He is running from his past, uncertain about his future, and alone in the wilderness. Yet it is precisely there, at that lonely crossroads, that God reveals something extraordinary, a divine stairway reaching from earth to heaven. At that place Jacob saw the vision of Angels ascending and descending. 

“Double Portion in the Place of Rejection” | Genesis 48:5–6Have you ever felt overlooked, rejected, or forgotten? In this powerful message, “Double Portion in the Place of Rejection,” we explore how God can turn moments of rejection into places of blessing.This sermon looks at the story of Joseph and how God restored what was lost. Though Joseph experienced betrayal and rejection from his own brothers, God honored him and gave him a double portion through his sons, Ephraim and Manasseh. What looked like loss became a place of divine multiplication.This message reminds us that rejection does not cancel God’s promise. In fact, the very place where you were rejected may become the place where God blesses you the most.In this sermon, you’ll discover:• How God can transform rejection into restoration• The meaning of the “double portion” blessing• Why your past pain does not determine your future• How God uses difficult seasons to position you for greater purposeIf you’ve ever wondered whether God still has a plan after disappointment, this message will encourage and strengthen your faith.Be sure to like, share, and subscribe to stay connected and receive more messages that inspire faith and growth.For prayer request, please feel free to contact us at www.globalicc.org/contactTo give please click www.globalicc.org/giveCash App $iccglobalVenmo App @iccglobalSubscribe to our weekly podcastApple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/international-christian-church/id1076335656Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1mKKhWqCqr7rkXsdsqpgRx?si=1f717cde8a5846c2Live streaming Copyright License #20714391

Life has a way of shaping how we see things. At times our circumstances become so overwhelming that they begin to control our perspective. When problems pile up, when fear creeps in, and when situations seem impossible, it is easy to believe that what we see with our natural eyes is the whole story.But Scripture reminds us that what we see is not always the full picture. God is always at work, even when His hand is not immediately visible.In 2 Kings 6:13–17, Elisha’s servant looked out and saw an enemy army surrounding them. From his perspective, defeat seemed inevitable. Fear took over because all he could see was the threat in front of him.But Elisha saw something different.He prayed, “Lord, open his eyes so that he may see.” In that moment, God opened the servant’s eyes, and he saw the hills filled with horses and chariots of fire and the armies of heaven surrounding and protecting them.The situation had not changed.But his perspective did.Often the greatest battle we face is not the problem itself, but how we see the problem. When we only look with our natural eyes, fear grows. But when God opens our spiritual eyes, we begin to see His presence, His protection, and His power at work.This message reminds us that God is always doing more than we realize. When we ask Him to open our eyes, He gives us a fresh perspective that replaces fear with faith.If this message encouraged you, be sure to like, share, and subscribe to stay connected for more teachings and live services.For prayer request, please feel free to contact us at www.globalicc.org/contactTo give please click www.globalicc.org/giveCash App $iccglobalVenmo App @iccglobalSubscribe to our weekly podcastApple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/international-christian-church/id1076335656Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1mKKhWqCqr7rkXsdsqpgRx?si=1f717cde8a5846c2Live streaming Copyright License #20714391

What makes people stop and recognize that you’ve been with Jesus?In Acts 4:13, ordinary men stood before powerful leaders. No formal training. No social status. No platform. Yet Scripture says, “they took notice that they had been with Jesus.”This message unpacks what set Peter and John apart—and what will set us apart today.If this message strengthens you, share it with someone who needs boldness and fresh fire.

How do you remain faithful when the culture pulls in the opposite direction?This message confronts a common assumption many believers quietly carry: righteousness cannot be inherited, faith cannot be borrowed, and holiness is never transferred. Drawing from Ezekiel 14:14,20, we see a sobering truth even the most righteous could only deliver themselves. Your walk with God is personal.Through the life of Daniel, a man who lived under relentless pressure in Babylon yet stayed unwavering from youth to old age, this sermon explores what steadfast faith actually looks like. Daniel didn’t drift with culture, bend under power, or compartmentalize his devotion. His life reveals how God preserves faithfulness in the middle of a faithless world.This teaching speaks to anyone navigating compromise, cultural pressure, spiritual fatigue, or the quiet erosion of conviction. It calls believers back to clarity, discipline, courage, and trust in God’s sovereignty.For prayer request, please feel free to contact us at www.globalicc.org/contactTo give please click www.globalicc.org/giveCash App $iccglobalVenmo App @iccglobalSubscribe to our weekly podcastApple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/international-christian-church/id1076335656Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1mKKhWqCqr7rkXsdsqpgRx?si=1f717cde8a5846c2Live streaming Copyright License #20714391

When life feels overwhelming and your strength is gone, God’s grace has not run out. This message gently confronts the common saying that “God will never give you more than you can handle” and replaces it with the deeper, more honest promise of Scripture. God never guaranteed a life we could always manage, but He did promise His presence and sufficient grace when our strength runs out.Drawing from 2 Corinthians 1:8–10 and 2 Corinthians 12:9–10, this teaching shows how even the apostle Paul faced seasons that were far beyond his ability to endure. Overwhelm is not a sign of weak faith; it’s often the place where God teaches us to rely on Him instead of ourselves. God’s power is not displayed by removing every burden, but by meeting us in our weakness with sustaining grace.If you’re tired, discouraged, or at the end of yourself, this message is for you. When life is too much, God is not disappointed in you. He is inviting you closer. His grace is enough, His presence is near, and His strength is made perfect in your weakness.For prayer request, please feel free to contact us at www.globalicc.org/contactTo give please click www.globalicc.org/giveCash App $iccglobalVenmo App @iccglobalSubscribe to our weekly podcastApple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/international-christian-church/id1076335656Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1mKKhWqCqr7rkXsdsqpgRx?si=1f717cde8a5846c2Live streaming Copyright License #20714391

Anchored in His PromiseMain Passage: Luke 8:22–25The moment you step into Luke 8:22-25, you realize the story isn’t really about a boat or a storm. It’s about the quiet authority of Jesus and the fragile trust of the disciples. They stepped into the boat because He invited them, not knowing that the waters ahead would test everything they believed about Him. This passage shows us how quickly confidence can crumble when life shifts and how quickly fear rises when control slips from our hands. Yet woven through the chaos is something stronger than fear: a word from Jesus that came before the storm ever showed up.God knows what you're carrying. He sees the storm, the stress, and the sleepless nights. But the storm isn’t evidence that He’s left you. It’s the setting where His promises hold you.When Jesus said, “Let us go over to the other side, that wasn’t just a plan; it was a promise. And when God gives a promise, it becomes your anchor, even in chaos.So let’s talk about what it means to be anchored, not in comfort, not in control—but in the unchanging promises of God.For prayer request, please feel free to contact us at www.globalicc.org/contactTo give please click www.globalicc.org/giveCash App $iccglobalVenmo App @iccglobalSubscribe to our weekly podcastApple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/international-christian-church/id1076335656Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1mKKhWqCqr7rkXsdsqpgRx?si=1f717cde8a5846c2Live streaming Copyright License #20714391

Discover a God who refuses to stay hidden. From the first page of Scripture to the last, He reveals Himself step by step—majestic in power, close in presence, and overflowing in goodness. This message walks through Psalm 19, Luke 12, and the story of the prodigal son to show how God makes Himself known in three life-changing ways.We look up and see His transcendence. The heavens declare a God who is bigger than our fears, our failures, and even our dreams.We look closely and see His nearness. The One who names the stars also clothes the lilies and pays attention to every detail of your life.We listen to His heartbeat and discover His goodness. Like the father running toward his returning son, His mercy moves first, reaches first, and restores fully.If you’ve ever wondered whether God sees you, cares for you, or can redeem what you’ve lost, this message will steady your heart. The more clearly you see who He is, the more courage you’ll find to walk out who He’s calling you to be.Scriptures: Psalm 19:1–4, Luke 12:27–28, Luke 15:20–24, plus supporting passages.Sermon Title: The Progressive Revelation of GodIf this message speaks to you, share it with someone who needs a fresh vision of God’s greatness, His nearness, and His goodness. worship experience!

When life feels stuck and prayers seem unanswered, it’s easy to stare at the ceiling of disappointment and lose sight of God’s promises. Genesis 15 brings us into that exact moment in Abram’s life, decades of waiting, wrestling, and wondering if the promise had expired.But God steps into Abram’s fear, pulls him out of the tent, and tells him to look up into the sky. That simple shift in posture opened the door to a whole new level of faith.This message is for anyone who’s weary of waiting, tired of praying, or tempted to settle. If you’ve ever felt like the promise is too delayed, too impossible, or too far gone, this word is for you.What you’ll discover in this teaching:• Why delayed promises aren’t denied promises• How God speaks directly to our fear before renewing our faith• The danger of living under an eight-foot ceiling of limitation• How a change in perspective can spark fresh belief• Why looking up can reposition your heart for breakthroughGenesis 15:1–6 reminds us that faith doesn’t grow by staring at the problem—it grows by looking up at the God who holds the stars.Take a moment, step outside the tent, and lift your eyes again.

Where you look determines what you see. Many people live overwhelmed not because their problems are truly bigger—but because their view of God has become smaller. We magnify our pain, the news, the offense, and the uncertainty. But Psalm 34 calls us to shift our focus and magnify the Lord.In this message, The Power of a Higher View, Pastor Jaison Koshy teaches how a low view of God distorts reality, while a higher view reframes everything—our identity, our faith, and our response to life’s battles.Key Points:• A low view of God makes fear look bigger than it is• A high view of God shrinks your problems into proper perspective• A right view of God unlocks your true identity• Magnifying God transforms how you respond to pressure and painScriptures Referenced:Psalm 34:3, Romans 8:37, Isaiah 55:9Big Takeaway:When your view of God gets higher, your fear gets smaller.If anxiety, fear, shame, or uncertainty have clouded your vision, today is your invitation to lift your eyes and magnify the One who reigns above it all.

There’s a lie that doesn’t shout—it whispers.It creeps in when prayers go unanswered, when grief feels unbearable, when heaven seems silent.And it says: “God has left you.”But that’s the oldest deception in history—straight from the father of lies himself (John 8:44).If the enemy can convince you that God has abandoned you, he doesn’t need to destroy your life—you’ll start doing it for him.This message exposes that lie and reminds you of the unshakable truth from God’s Word:“Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.” — Hebrews 13:5Whether you’re in a silent season, a storm, or a stretch of uncertainty—this message will help you:Recognize the liar behind the lie.Confront feelings of abandonment with faith.Reclaim the truth of God’s presence and promises.Reconnect with community and stay anchored in hope.Main Scriptures:John 8:44 | Psalm 22:1–2 | Deuteronomy 31:6 | Hebrews 13:5 | Matthew 27:46Key Takeaway:You are not forsaken. You are not forgotten. You are not alone.Watch this message and silence the lie once and for all.For prayer request, please feel free to contact us at www.globalicc.org/contactTo give please click www.globalicc.org/giveCash App $iccglobalVenmo App @iccglobalSubscribe to our weekly podcastApple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/international-christian-church/id1076335656Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1mKKhWqCqr7rkXsdsqpgRx?si=1f717cde8a5846c2Live streaming Copyright License #20714391

Some of us are carrying things God never asked us to carry—anxiety, pressure, control, regret. The weight is real, but the invitation is simple: Cast it, don’t carry it.In this message, Pastor Jaison Koshy unpacks 1 Peter 5:6–7 and reminds us that humility is not weakness—it’s trust. God never designed us to be weighed down by burdens we can’t control. He calls us to cast our cares on Him because He cares personally for us.Through vivid illustrations and practical truths, this sermon explores:How to live under His hand, not on your ownWhy waiting on God’s timing brings lasting peaceWhat it really means to cast, not clutch, your caresHow God’s care is constant, personal, and powerfulIt’s time to drop the weight and walk lighter.Let go of what you were never meant to carry and trust the One who carries you.Text: 1 Peter 5:6–7 (NIV)“Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time.

The Christian life isn’t about trying harder—it’s about surrendering deeper.In this powerful message, Walking by the Spirit, Pastor Jaison Koshy unpacks Galatians 5:16 and teaches what it truly means to live a Spirit-led life. The Apostle Paul’s command and promise are clear: “Walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh.”When we walk by the Spirit, we move from striving to surrender, from self-effort to divine empowerment. This sermon explores:What it means to walk by the Spirit dailyWhy our struggle with the flesh is real—but not finalHow to feed your spirit, crucify the flesh, and be led by God’s powerThe beautiful evidence of walking with Him—the Fruit of the SpiritThrough biblical truth and vivid illustrations, Pastor Jaison calls believers to trade spiritual exhaustion for spiritual intimacy—living every moment under the influence of the Holy Spirit.Main Text: Galatians 5:16 (NIV)“So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh.”Key Takeaways:Start your day with the Word before the world.Turn worries into prayers throughout your day.Crucify the flesh and feed the Spirit daily.Be led by the Spirit, not driven by pressure.Expect transformation—because the Spirit never leaves you as you are.“Believers get the Holy Spirit at salvation, but the Holy Spirit gets the believer at surrender.”

Faith That Shifts Atmospheres | Joshua 10:12–13In a time of confusion, conflict, and chaos, God invites us to rise with faith that doesn’t just endure but transforms reality. Joshua’s bold declaration—“Sun, stand still”—reveals the power released when the Word and the Spirit unite.This message explores how Spirit-filled words carry heaven’s authority, shift atmospheres, and bring breakthrough. When we dwell in God’s presence, let His Word come alive, and speak with Spirit-led conviction, impossible situations move under the weight of His power.Main Passage: Joshua 10:12–13 (NLT)Theme: How Spirit-Filled Words Release Power and Change RealityBe encouraged to stay rooted in God’s Word, filled with His Spirit, and bold in faith—because the same God who made the sun stand still still moves today.For prayer request, please feel free to contact us at www.globalicc.org/contactTo give please click www.globalicc.org/giveCash App $iccglobalVenmo App @iccglobalSubscribe to our weekly podcastApple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/international-christian-church/id1076335656Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1mKKhWqCqr7rkXsdsqpgRx?si=1f717cde8a5846c2Live streaming Copyright License #20714391

When God Makes a Promise | Joshua 14:6–12God never makes a promise He doesn’t intend to fulfill. Caleb waited 45 years, but his faith never faded. At 85 years old, he could still say with boldness: “Now therefore give me this mountain.”In this message, Pastor Jaison Koshy unpacks Caleb’s story and shows us how to: • Remember what God said, even when years go by • Recognize His preserving hand over your life • Believe that faith doesn’t retire or expireWhether you’re waiting on God or ready to step into what He has spoken, this word will reignite your faith and remind you that His promises still stand.Scripture: Joshua 14:6–12Key takeaway: Don’t settle for safety—ask God for your mountain.

Prepare to Succeed | Joshua 1:6–8Everyone wants success, but God defines it differently than the world. In Joshua 1, as Joshua stepped into leadership after Moses, God revealed the true formula for success:1. Be strong and courageous, not in yourself, but in God’s presence and promises.2. Obey God’s Word – success comes through faithfulness, not shortcuts.3. Meditate on God’s Word Daily – let Scripture shape your thoughts, decisions, and life.Joshua became one of Israel’s greatest leaders—not because of power, money, or connections, but because he followed God’s plan. The same promise is available for you: “Then you will prosper and succeed” (Joshua 1:8).If you’ve been chasing the world’s definition of success, this message will help you reset and align with God’s way. True success isn’t about achieving great things for yourself—it’s about being faithful to the great God you serve.Scripture: Joshua 1:6–8Key Takeaway: Success in God’s kingdom begins with courage, obedience, and daily meditation on His Word.Subscribe for more biblical teaching and encouragement.Like & Share this message with someone who needs God’s perspective on success.#preparetosucceed #joshua1 #successgodsway #inspiration #powerofgod #motivation ​

Main Text: Ephesians 2:1–10 Key Verse: Ephesians 2:10 – “For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.”ObjectiveTo help believers discover their God-given identity, understand how it was lost through sin, and celebrate how it’s restored in Christ—making them different by design, not default. @jaisonkoshy   @globalicc   @TheWord   @thetruthguid   @ChristisLord ​

“I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” John 16:33We live in a fallen world where good behavior is not always rewarded, and bad behavior is not always punished. Innocent people sometimes suffer. Jesus warned us that we would have trouble, but He also promised us peace and victory.Instead of being surprised by suffering, we can accept it as part of living in a broken world, while trusting that God is still in control.Bible References:Psalm 34:19 — “The righteous person may have many troubles, but the LORD delivers him from them all.”Romans 8:18 — “I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us.”

How will you respond to Jesus?Text: John 9:25  “In this chapter, we see four very different reactions to Jesus and to this undeniable miracle. And those same reactions still happen today when people encounter Jesus. Let’s look at them and ask ourselves: How will I respond to Jesus?”

Many of us are held back—not by physical chains—but by fear of what others think, craving approval, or fear of rejection. We know we’re called to live boldly for God, but we get stuck—trapped by fear.Proverbs 29:25 warns us clearly:“Fearing people is a dangerous trap, but trusting the Lord means safety.”

Fear is no respecter of persons. No matter how strong your faith, how high you’ve risen, or how far you’ve come, fear can still find its way into the heart. Even the greatest among us — prophets, kings, and apostles — have faced moments where fear threatened to overtake them. Fear may be inevitable, but so is the power of our God to overcome it. And praise God — through Him, we are not called to be slaves to fear!

Words that wound or healWords can tear down or build up—but when spoken in prayer or confession, they can heal.Apostle James challenges us to go deeper: to bring our pain, sin, and struggles into the light—through prayer and confession.For prayer request, please feel free to contact us at www.globalicc.org/contactTo give please click www.globalicc.org/giveCash App $iccglobalVenmo App @iccglobalSubscribe to our weekly podcastApple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/international-christian-church/id1076335656Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1mKKhWqCqr7rkXsdsqpgRx?si=1f717cde8a5846c2Live streaming Copyright License #20714391

On this Palm Sunday, we join the chorus of history echoing the cries of “Hosanna!”—a declaration of praise, hope, and surrender. As Jesus entered Jerusalem, riding humbly on a donkey, the crowds welcomed Him as King. But what they didn’t fully realize is what we now know: this was no ordinary King. This was the King of Kings—the Creator stepping into His creation, not to be served, but to serve and to save.As we reflect on this moment, I want to remind you of a powerful truth from God’s Word: we are a privileged people, chosen to carry the King and to glorify the Creator of the universe. What an honor! But with great privilege comes great responsibility. Let us not make this moment—or our lives—about ourselves. Instead, let us dedicate everything we are to the One who gave everything for us.Palm Sunday is not just a celebration—it’s a calling. A calling to humility, to service, and to surrender. Will you carry the King with honor? Will you glorify the One who alone is worthy?

John 13:21-38, John 18:15-27, John 21:15-19Failure is something we all experience, but how we respond to it makes all the difference. In this powerful sermon, we explore the contrast between two men who failed Jesus—Judas and Peter. Both denied Christ in their own ways, yet their responses led to drastically different outcomes.Main Points:1. Jesus Knew Yet Still Loved – Jesus knew Peter would deny Him and Judas would betray Him, yet He loved them unconditionally. (John 13:21-38)2. Two Failures, Two Different Outcomes – Despair led Judas to destruction, while repentance led Peter to restoration. (John 18:15-27; Matthew 27:3-5)3. Restoration is Possible – Jesus not only forgave Peter but recommissioned him for ministry. (John 21:15-19)4. How Should We Respond? – Acknowledge failure, run to Jesus, accept His grace, and step into your calling.Final Challenge:Failure is not final unless we give up. If you’ve fallen, Jesus stands ready to restore you.

Matthew 5:43–48 “You have heard the law that says, ‘Love your neighbor’ and hate your enemy. But I say, love your enemies! Pray for those who persecute you! In that way, you will be acting as true children of your Father in heaven. For he gives his sunlight to both the evil and the good, and he sends rain on the just and the unjust alike. If you love only those who love you, what reward is there for that? Even corrupt tax collectors do that much. If you are kind only to your friends, how are you different from anyone else? Even pagans do that. But you are to be perfect, even as your Father in heaven is perfect.” Theme: Jesus calls us to higher ground through love, especially during the Advent season, as we prepare our hearts to celebrate the birth of Christ, Savior of mankind, and eternal life.
