Jesus Did Not Come to Condemn but to Save -- Ajay Chakravarthy -- February 8, 2026
Ajay Chakravarthy · Feb 8, 2026 · 52m · River of Life Christian Fellowship
The sermon emphasizes that Jesus came to save, not to condemn, drawing heavily from John 3:16-17. The speaker uses the analogy of a blind spot in driving and the parable of the Pharisee and the tax collector to illustrate that human efforts to earn righteousness are insufficient. True standing before God requires acknowledging our need for grace, as all our good deeds are like filthy garments.
Unquenchable Love of the Holy Spirit — Ajay Chakravarthy — June 4, 2023
Ajay Chakravarthy · Jun 5, 2023 · 54m · River of Life Christian Fellowship
The sermon emphasizes the unquenchable nature of God's love, comparing it to a fire or the light of the sun which cannot be extinguished by any force.

Ultimately, the message encourages believers to reflect on this enduring, powerful love.
The Intensity of Intimacy with Jesus - Ajay Chakravarthy - September 25, 2016
Ajay Chakravarthy · Jun 22, 2017 · 14m · River of Life Christian Fellowship
The sermon emphasizes the necessity of an intense, exclusive intimacy with Jesus, comparing it to the relationship between a bride and the bridegroom. The speaker argues that true devotion goes beyond merely attending church or having a good testimony; it requires a complete, possessive commitment, like Mary's lavish anointing of Jesus. He urges the listeners to strive to be the bride, characterized by total devotion, rather than just a guest at the feast.
The Preciousness of the Body of Christ - Ajay Chakravarthy - July 29, 2015
Ajay Chakravarthy · Jul 29, 2015 · 24m · River of Life Christian Fellowship
The speaker emphasizes that the true body of Christ is not merely a Sunday service but a living, God-built community, contrasting it with self-made endeavors like the Tower of Babel.

Ultimately, the message calls for genuine transformation that permeates one's entire existence.
Our Heavenly Father Disciplines Those He Loves — Ajay Charkravarthy — September 14, 2025
Ajay Chakravarthy · Sep 15, 2025 · 50m · River of Life Christian Fellowship
The sermon emphasizes that enduring discipline is a sign of God's love and is necessary for spiritual maturity, drawing heavily from Hebrews 12. The speaker urges listeners to run the race of faith with endurance, fixing their eyes on Jesus who endured the cross. He illustrates this by referencing David's experience with a famine, showing that sometimes hardship points to a specific sin that needs addressing.

Ajay Chakravarthy · Apr 25, 2022 · 41m · River of Life Christian Fellowship
The sermon emphasizes the necessity of spiritual preparation for eternity, urging listeners to live today in a way that honors God. Key points include the importance of confessing sins to cleanse one's conscience through the blood of Christ, and the absolute necessity of forgiving others, as this is a question that will be asked in eternity. The speaker uses King Asa as an example of a righteous life lived in preparation for God's judgment.
Words of Encouragement -- Ajay Chakravarthy & Chetan Chadalavada -- August 22, 2021
Ajay Chakravarthy · Aug 28, 2021 · 13m · River of Life Christian Fellowship
The speaker encourages the congregation to take the word preached as personally directed by the Lord, emphasizing that God speaks to each individual. He draws heavily on Isaiah 66, noting that God looks upon the humble and contrite spirit, which is proven not by outward mannerisms but by obedience to God's word. True grace is linked to true humility, which allows a person to confess sin rather than masking it with false humility.
Are You At Ease in Zion? - Ajay Chakravarthy - October 4, 2020
Ajay Chakravarthy · Oct 5, 2020 · 52m · River of Life Christian Fellowship
The sermon warns against being complacent in the church, referencing Amos 6:1. Drawing parallels from Daniel's account, the speaker emphasizes that true spiritual depth requires obedience in small matters, as demonstrated by Daniel's commitment to purity.

Being One Who Is Precious and Whom God Values Highly — Ajay Chakravarthy — April 14, 2024
Ajay Chakravarthy · Apr 15, 2024 · 44m · River of Life Christian Fellowship
The sermon uses the analogy of rare and precious items, like gold and pearls, to illustrate how God views people on Earth. It contrasts those who bring joy to God (like Job, who exemplified integrity and fear of God) with those who are like thorns or sand. The central message is that true value in God's eyes comes from a life characterized by integrity, uprightness, and a deep fear of God, rather than material wealth or outward piety.
God’s Desire for Compassion and Honesty -- Ajay Chakravarthy -- April 10, 2022
Ajay Chakravarthy · Apr 11, 2022 · 48m · River of Life Christian Fellowship
God desires compassion and honesty, as exemplified by Jesus's ministry. The speaker argues that Jesus's actions—choosing to minister to the marginalized rather than performing grand miracles or healing everyone—reveal the Father's true heart. Ultimately, the message is to actively seek out what pleases God, learning to see situations through a lens of compassion rather than rigid adherence to rules or condemnation.
Spiritual Lessons from the Birds and Beasts - Part 1: Birds — Ajay Chakravarthy — February 19, 2023
Ajay Chakravarthy · Feb 20, 2023 · 50m · River of Life Christian Fellowship
The speaker uses the analogy of birds to illustrate that spiritual realities, like the devil and Heaven, are unseen and can only be explained by God's revelation. He draws parallels from the Old Testament (Pharaoh representing the devil's bondage) and the Parable of the Sower, emphasizing that the devil actively tries to steal God's word so that people cannot believe and bear fruit. The central message is that believers must be equipped by the Holy Spirit to resist spiritual bondage and bear much fruit for God's glory.
Even My Father’s Servants Have More Than Enough — Ajay Chakravarthy — November 2, 2025
Ajay Chakravarthy · Nov 2, 2025 · 50m · River of Life Christian Fellowship
The sermon encourages the congregation to remain faithful in their current service, no matter how small it feels, because God sees and rewards all acts of service. Using the parable of the Prodigal Son, the speaker emphasizes that true repentance involves acknowledging sin and recognizing the need for God's grace, contrasting this with superficial apologies. Ultimately, the message points to Jesus' sacrifice as the bridge that crosses the chasm between humanity and God.
A Pure Love for Jesus Only — Ajay Chakravarthy — January 21, 2024
Ajay Chakravarthy · Jan 22, 2024 · 41m · River of Life Christian Fellowship
The central goal of Christian instruction is to cultivate a pure love for God and others, which must remain uncontaminated by other loves. The speaker warns that in the last days, this pure love for God risks being diluted by loves for self, money, and pleasure. He illustrates this by contrasting the superficial desire for temporary fixes with the necessity of embracing the 'living water' offered by Christ, which leads to eternal life.
Be Zealous to Set Your Mind On the Spirit -- Ajay Chakravarthy & Dave Bertsch -- October 22, 2023
Ajay Chakravarthy · Oct 27, 2023 · 18m · River of Life Christian Fellowship
The central message is that true zeal must come from the Holy Spirit, not from human desperation or self-effort. The speaker emphasizes that God orchestrates difficult circumstances to bring us to a place of thirst, compelling us to rely solely on Him. Furthermore, the sermon urges believers to guard their minds by setting their thoughts on spiritual matters, as this leads to life and peace.
2. Mephibosheth - God is Not Far From Us — Ajay Chakravarthy — July 13, 2023
Ajay Chakravarthy · Jul 20, 2023 · 29m · River of Life Christian Fellowship
The sermon uses the story of Mephibosheth to illustrate that God's acceptance and grace are not based on personal merit but on the faithfulness of others, specifically Jonathan's covenant with David. The speaker emphasizes that just as Mephibosheth was shown undeserved kindness through Jonathan, believers are accepted by God solely through Christ's sacrifice, not by their own efforts. This highlights the profound reality of grace and divine favor.
Which Bread Are You Eating -- Ajay Chakravarthy -- December 19, 2021
Ajay Chakravarthy · Dec 21, 2021 · 53m · River of Life Christian Fellowship
The sermon emphasizes that the church is the body Christ is building, a process that involves both divine miracle and human participation. The speaker draws parallels between God building the ark, the tabernacle, and the temple, concluding that today God is building the church. A key theme is the importance of being 'under authority,' using the examples of the Gibeonites and the Chloe family to illustrate that true strength and blessing come from submitting to proper authority.
The Rise and Fall of Ephesus - Ajay Chakravarthy - June 30, 2019
Ajay Chakravarthy · Jul 15, 2019 · 44m · River of Life Christian Fellowship
The sermon uses the history of the church in Ephesus to illustrate spiritual lessons, comparing it to the sinking of the Titanic. The speaker emphasizes that natural gifting and eloquence, as seen with Paulus, are insufficient for God's work without the filling of the Holy Spirit. Furthermore, the example shows that initial interest in the word is not the true test; the true test is whether people are willing to obey the word when it convicts them, rather than becoming hardened or disobedient.
Permit It at This Time: Going the Way of the Cross — Ajay Chakravarthy — October 12, 2025
Ajay Chakravarthy · Oct 12, 2025 · 52m · River of Life Christian Fellowship
The sermon emphasizes that every individual has a vital role, comparing the church body to the planks of an ark, where all parts are necessary. The central message draws from Jesus' willingness to be baptized, illustrating that following Christ requires taking up one's cross. Ultimately, the speaker stresses that Christian experience and life's challenges are measured by the depth of one's faith, urging listeners to prepare for accountability before God alone.
Words of Encouragement -- Ajay Chakravarthy & Chetan Chadalavada -- September 12, 2021
Ajay Chakravarthy · Sep 18, 2021 · 17m · River of Life Christian Fellowship
The speaker urges the audience to deeply consider the profound value of knowing Jesus, comparing it to a hidden treasure or a pearl of great worth that demands giving up all earthly priorities. He emphasizes that true love for Christ must be sustained by remembering the depth of God's sacrifice on the cross, warning against letting the passion for Jesus wane. The message concludes by advising against taking offense, drawing a parallel to John the Baptist's doubt, and encouraging reliance on Christ's grace rather than unmet expectations.
Do Not Refuse the One Who Speaks from Heaven -- Ajay Chakravarthy -- March 9, 2025
Ajay Chakravarthy · Mar 9, 2025 · 40m · River of Life Christian Fellowship
The speaker emphasizes that refusing the one who speaks from Heaven, like Jesus, is equivalent to turning away. He uses examples from the Bible, such as Saul's persecution and the rich young ruler's refusal, to illustrate that both aggressive and polite refusal are equally detrimental. Ultimately, the message warns that outwardly agreeing with God's call while inwardly rebelling is a deception, and true belief requires action and repentance.
Physician, Heal Yourself! -- Ajay Chakravarthy -- March 27, 2022
Ajay Chakravarthy · Mar 28, 2022 · 47m · River of Life Christian Fellowship
The sermon uses Jesus' words in Nazareth, "Physician, heal yourself," to challenge the congregation to examine their own spiritual health rather than just offering advice. The speaker warns against becoming 'Christian consultants' who only give counsel without personally living out the truth they preach. True faith requires uniting the word heard with personal action, demonstrating genuine transformation in daily life.
Where is Your Faith Leaning Today? — Ajay Chakravarthy — February 9, 2025
Ajay Chakravarthy · Feb 9, 2025 · 29m · River of Life Christian Fellowship
The speaker encourages listeners to examine where their faith is currently leaning, contrasting two types of trust. He uses the examples of Jacob and Naaman to illustrate that true faith is not transactional—believing God only for earthly blessings—but rather a complete reliance on God Himself, viewing Him as the essential crutch for life. The core message is to trust in the Lord completely, leaning on Him alone rather than on personal understanding or the favor of people.
She Said, "Yes, I Will Go" - Ajay Chakravarthy - September 1, 2019
Ajay Chakravarthy · Sep 2, 2019 · 43m · River of Life Christian Fellowship
The sermon uses the biblical narrative of Rebecca to illustrate the characteristics of a true bride, emphasizing that she must be devoted to the bridegroom and willing to leave everything to follow him. The speaker further emphasizes that this devotion requires discipline, citing examples of brothers who intentionally sacrificed time and effort to meet with the Lord, and concludes by urging the congregation to imitate this diligent pursuit of God.
A Longing For My Heavenly Father's Seal of Approval — Ajay Chakravarthy — August 20, 2023
Ajay Chakravarthy · Aug 21, 2023 · 37m · River of Life Christian Fellowship
The speaker uses the story of Balaam to illustrate that God's approval is not based on blessings or what He has done through us, but whether He truly attests to our lives. Balaam repeatedly chose to go against God's clear warnings due to the lure of earthly rewards, leading to God's anger. Ultimately, God used Balaam to bless Israel, showing that even when we compromise, God can still use us for His purposes.
