Talks and Sermons
Being Generous
Being generous is much more about attitude than amount. Contrary to cultural voices, the abundant life is not synonymous with the abundance of possessions. Jesus invites us to contribute to Kingdom ventures. This three-part series can be accessed online here.
Envoys
Three-part series concerning being witnesses for Jesus. We are not called to deploy a methodology but to discern in whom God is already working and join Him there. This is something ordinary believers can do, starting now, by the power of the Holy Spirit, even with those whose views and lifestyles differ from ours. Those talks can be accessed online here.
Follow Me
How do we faithfully follow Jesus in the 21C? This nine-part series looks at that from four particular postures: Looking Up (Worship), Leaning In (Fellowship), Reaching Out (Evangelism) and Thinking Deep (Discipleship). Those talks can be accessed online here.

On The Holy Spirit by A. W. Tozer (7 Days)
According to Tozer, the Spirit is neglected by the modern church. But when believers know the Spirit—intimately and accurately—they experience freedom from stagnancy. They know power and life. This devotional explores many of the defining characteristics of the Holy Spirit. Each day stokes the believer’s internal desire to hunger and thirst after the Spirit of God. See here for more details.

The Splendour of God’s Holiness by Sunder Krishnan
Several years ago, a Godly, accomplished young worship leader of a mega church asked me what “holiness” meant. While I was glad to oblige, I was also saddened by the fact that someone evidently passionate about his faith and gifted enough to lead Gods people in worship did not have a handle on holiness. Frankly, I cannot be too hard on him for I was in the same boat for many years after my initial decision to follow Jesus. Maybe that is the way it is with you too. Yet we are repeatedly exalted in the Scriptures to worship God in the splendour of his holiness. This series of messages will help you understand how holy is an adjective that is intended to cover all aspects of our life with God – holy worship, holy offerings, holy marriage, holy work, holy bodies etc.
