Fill It to the Brim -- Ajay Chakravarthy -- February 27, 2022
Ajay Chakravarthy · Feb 28, 2022 · 51m · River of Life Christian Fellowship
The central message is that instead of focusing on predicting future events or answering every curiosity, believers must focus on two things: repentance and being filled with the Holy Spirit. The speaker warns against deception, particularly the subtle ways sin can rule over our hearts, which often stems from unconfessed pride. True readiness comes from loving the truth and being honest with oneself about where grace is lacking.

Ajay Chakravarthy · Aug 21, 2018 · 22m · River of Life Christian Fellowship
The speaker addresses the common struggle of feeling tempted even after conversion, refuting the idea that baptism or the filling of the Holy Spirit eliminates sin. He uses an analogy of the 'old man' versus the 'new man' to illustrate that while sin's power is broken at the cross, the believer must actively guard their heart and continually rely on God's Word and the Holy Spirit for strength to overcome recurring temptations.

Ajay Chakravarthy · Apr 26, 2021 · 41m · River of Life Christian Fellowship

The speaker emphasizes that God's message is not to condemn humanity but to save it, drawing parallels from Jesus' teachings (John 3:17) and the mission of the Son of Man. He uses the dramatic conversion of Saul (Paul) from a persecutor to an apostle as a powerful example of God's ability to redeem ruined lives.
Furthering God's Great Plans Through Our Lives — Ajay Chakravarthy — December 4, 2022
Ajay Chakravarthy · Dec 5, 2022 · 42m · River of Life Christian Fellowship
The central message is that believers should dedicate their limited time and lives to furthering God's great plans rather than pursuing personal ambitions.

He concludes by assuring the audience of God's unwavering desire for them, citing the parable of the Prodigal Son to counter feelings of being unwanted.
Jesus: The Head of the Church - Ajay Chakravarthy - May 10, 2015
Ajay Chakravarthy · May 10, 2015 · 32m · River of Life Christian Fellowship
Jesus is established as the sole Builder and Head of the Church, making any structure built apart from Him illegitimate.

The speaker emphasizes that God desires genuine, heartfelt acknowledgment of sin, warning against superficial or deceptive repentance.
9th December 2018 - Will We Choose Zoar? - Ajay Chakravarthy
Ajay Chakravarthy · Dec 9, 2018 · 1h 33m · CFC Bangalore Live
The sermon uses the biblical account of Lot's family escaping Sodom and Gomorrah to illustrate a choice: whether the congregation will choose to follow God's path or remain in the doomed city. The central message urges the listeners to heed God's call and choose the way of righteousness, drawing parallels to drawing near to the throne of grace through faith.

Lord, Save Me! — Ajay Chakravarthy — December 22, 2024
Ajay Chakravarthy · Dec 22, 2024 · 46m · River of Life Christian Fellowship
The sermon uses biblical examples—Peter walking on water, the healing of the boy with seizures, and the paralyzed man at the pool—to illustrate that while people often cry out for rescue from sin and life's struggles, true healing requires more than just a cry. Jesus's questions and actions demonstrate that belief and a willingness to step out in faith are necessary, even when the process feels like a constant cycle of failure.
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.
Will Your Flame Remain -- Ajay Chakravarthy -- February 14, 2021
Ajay Chakravarthy · Feb 16, 2021 · 50m · River of Life Christian Fellowship
The sermon uses the parable of the ten virgins and the example of Noah to illustrate the need for spiritual readiness for the Lord's return. The speaker emphasizes that true faithfulness is tested when the Lord is not immediately present, requiring a deep, internal readiness. Ultimately, the message points to the restoration of soul rest, contrasting the toil since the Fall with the rest found in Christ.
Fulfilling God's Unbelievable Plans for Our Lives -- Ajay Chakravarthy -- January 5, 2024
Ajay Chakravarthy · Jan 5, 2025 · 41m · River of Life Christian Fellowship
The central message is that believers should strive to live lives that fulfill God's perfect and unbelievable plans for them, ensuring they have no regrets in eternity. The speaker uses the analogy of a caterpillar becoming a butterfly and the story of Abraham to illustrate that personal plans, even if they seem good, can deviate from God's best will. He urges the audience to constantly check if their current path aligns with the Lord's perfect will.
Words of Encouragement — Ajay Chakravarthy & Chetan Chadalavada — September 17, 2023
Ajay Chakravarthy · Sep 22, 2023 · 13m · River of Life Christian Fellowship
The speaker uses the metaphor of an apple orchard to illustrate that Christian life requires continually gathering 'apples' of faith from God's Word, moving beyond mere initial faith. He emphasizes that true spiritual growth involves cultivating a sensitive heart to hear the Holy Spirit's convicting word and resisting the poison of pride, which can be countered through self-humbling before the Lord. Ultimately, the message stresses that grace is essential for overcoming sin and that faith must be continually replenished.
Will I Choose Zoar - Ajay Chakravarthy - November 25, 2018
Ajay Chakravarthy · Nov 26, 2018 · 40m · River of Life Christian Fellowship
The speaker encourages listeners to examine their true motivations for serving God, comparing the self-serving intentions of the older son in the parable of the Prodigal Son with the pure devotion of the younger son. He warns that in unguarded moments, our true intentions—whether for recognition or genuine devotion—will be revealed. The message concludes by drawing a parallel to Lot seeing the beautiful valley of Zoar, cautioning against being deceived by outward appearances when God's judgment is coming.
He Who Believes in Him Will Not Be in Haste — Ajay Chakravarthy — December 24, 2023
Ajay Chakravarthy · Dec 25, 2023 · 37m · River of Life Christian Fellowship
The sermon warns against the danger of acting in haste, comparing it to the temptation to make decisions without fully considering the consequences, as seen in the Garden of Eden. The speaker uses the examples of Saul's disobedience in 1 Samuel and the disciples' rash actions during Jesus' arrest to illustrate that waiting patiently for God's clear direction is crucial for obedience and God's plan.
A Spiritual Checkup - Ajay Chakravarthy - January 6, 2019
Ajay Chakravarthy · Jan 7, 2019 · 23m · River of Life Christian Fellowship
The speaker emphasizes that every individual is precious to the Lord, drawing parallels between a hospital's high survival rate and God's ability to save even the most desperate cases. He uses Paul's conversion story (1 Timothy 1:12) to illustrate that God uses those who have fallen, and true belief requires personal, transformative experience, like Paul's Damascus Road encounter. Ultimately, the message is one of hope, assuring the listeners that Jesus is actively building the church, and no one who comes to Him will be lost.
We Must Hear and Know Jesus for Ourselves -- Ajay Chakravarthy -- November 16, 2025
Ajay Chakravarthy · Nov 16, 2025 · 52m · River of Life Christian Fellowship
The central message is the necessity of personally experiencing and knowing Jesus, rather than just hearing about Him secondhand. The speaker uses personal anecdotes, such as learning to drive safely, and the story of the Samaritan woman to illustrate that true faith requires direct, personal encounter with the Lord. He emphasizes that believers must actively seek to hear God's word for themselves, mirroring the woman's journey from doubt to proclaiming hope.
The Samaritan's Road - Ajay Chakravarthy - January 5, 2020
Ajay Chakravarthy · Jan 5, 2020 · 29m · River of Life Christian Fellowship
The sermon emphasizes that as the end times approach, believers must be filled with the Holy Spirit and live with sound judgment. Using the example of the Samaritan woman and Zacchaeus, the speaker stresses that true assurance comes from knowing one is accepted in the beloved through Christ's righteousness, not from personal feelings or perceived achievements. The core message is to rest on the foundation of being forgiven and justified by God.
Glory of God Shining Through His Church — Ajay Chakravarthy — May 26, 2024
Ajay Chakravarthy · May 27, 2024 · 46m · River of Life Christian Fellowship
The speaker emphasizes that just as an architect builds a building with purpose, God builds His church, giving every person present a specific purpose. He urges the congregation to be transparent, like clear windows, so that the light of Christ can shine through the church. The message concludes by drawing parallels from scripture, warning against self-will and self-reliance, citing Jesus's stern warnings and God's reduction of Israel's army to prevent boasting in human strength.
Valuing the Presence of God - Ajay Chakravarthy - November 24, 2019
Ajay Chakravarthy · Nov 26, 2019 · 44m · River of Life Christian Fellowship
The central message is that the greatest treasure in life is valuing God's presence and glory above all else. The speaker draws parallels from scripture—such as Jesus desiring to show His glory and Moses insisting on God's physical presence over mere protection—to argue that God desires to be in the midst of His people, both individually and corporately. If we prioritize God's glory, it will become the most valued treasure in our lives.
Riches of Glory Upon Vessels of Mercy — Ajay Chakravarthy — December 14, 2025
Ajay Chakravarthy · Dec 15, 2025 · 50m · River of Life Christian Fellowship
The sermon emphasizes God's boundless mercy, illustrating that God often blesses people who have done nothing, contrasting this with worldly reward systems. Using the example of the man born blind, the speaker highlights that Jesus' healing process was designed not just to cure, but to demonstrate God's power and test the man's obedience by sending him to the Pool of Siloam. The core message is that God's grace is freely given, requiring only faith to receive it.
Walking By Faith and Not Sight - Ajay Chakravarthy - February 16, 2020
Ajay Chakravarthy · Feb 16, 2020 · 36m · River of Life Christian Fellowship
The central message is that Christian faith must be grounded in the objective facts of God's Word rather than being dictated by fluctuating feelings. The speaker uses an enactment to illustrate how relying on feelings—such as guilt, anxiety, or discouragement—can lead to spiritual paralysis, whereas resting on scripture provides stability. True maturity in faith is demonstrated by continuing to walk with God's Word even when feelings are negative or when external affirmations are absent.
Words of Encouragement -- Ajay Chakravarthy & Chetan Chadalavada -- February 21, 2021
Ajay Chakravarthy · Feb 26, 2021 · 18m · River of Life Christian Fellowship
The message encourages listeners to embrace spiritual weakness and reliance on God's power rather than relying on visible strength or self-sufficiency. Drawing from Isaiah 50 and Psalm 139, the speaker emphasizes that true guidance comes when we admit our inability to see the future, trusting instead in God's pre-written, loving plan for our lives. This trust allows us to walk by faith rather than by sight.
Mary, the Sister of Lazarus - Ajay Chakravarthy - January 20, 2019
Ajay Chakravarthy · Jan 21, 2019 · 34m · River of Life Christian Fellowship
The sermon contrasts the devotion of Mary with the distraction of Martha, emphasizing that the most necessary thing is to sit at Jesus's feet and listen to His words. The speaker draws parallels between Mary's reverence for Jesus and the need for believers to seek the 'words of eternal life' found only in knowing God and Jesus Christ. Ultimately, the message is to prioritize deep listening and spiritual rest over being overwhelmed by necessary but distracting tasks.
