The Ordinary Christian Life and Church -- Ajay Chakravarthy -- January 30, 2022
Ajay Chakravarthy · Jan 31, 2022 · 46m · River of Life Christian Fellowship
The speaker encourages listeners not to worry about the future because the promise of God, as seen in Isaiah 42:6, is that He will guide them through unknown paths and make darkness into light. He then discusses the 'ordinary Christian life' by referencing the disciples who followed Jesus after seeing Him live an unremarkable, everyday life, contrasting this with expectations of grand miracles. The central message is that true discipleship requires recognizing Christ not by outward appearance or dramatic events, but by seeing the life manifested in ordinary faithfulness.

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

The speaker uses the story of the woman who anointed Jesus' feet to emphasize the profound forgiveness found in Christ's presence.

Finally, he stresses that true discipleship requires not just hearing Jesus' teachings, but actively observing and living them out in one's own life.
Gaining God's Approval in the Last Days — Ajay Chakravarthy — June 8, 2025
Ajay Chakravarthy · Jun 8, 2025 · 46m · River of Life Christian Fellowship
The speaker warns that the final days will not be glorious for everyone, comparing the times to the contrasting examples of Noah and Lot's families. He emphasizes that following false teachers, like the blind guide, leads to ruin, and true approval comes through faith, as seen in Hebrews 11. Ultimately, God is not waiting for dramatic signs; readiness to meet Christ will be required on an ordinary day.
Mirrors to our Heart - Ajay Chakravarthy - February 17, 2019
Ajay Chakravarthy · Feb 18, 2019 · 39m · River of Life Christian Fellowship
The sermon uses biblical examples, such as David's confrontation with sin and Jesus' parables, to illustrate that God uses 'mirrors' to reveal our hidden sins.

The speaker emphasizes that we must apply the spiritual advice and truth we give to others to ourselves first, echoing the command to 'physician, heal thyself.'

The sermon uses the analogy of Deuteronomy 25:4, concerning not muzzling an ox while plowing, to illustrate God's boundless care for humanity. The speaker argues that God's compassion shown to animals reflects an even greater care for us, promising reward for those who diligently seek Him. He contrasts this with the wages of sin, which is spiritual death, and concludes by emphasizing that humility, like that of a child, is necessary for entering God's Kingdom, contrasting it with the pride and possessions of the rich young ruler.

Ajay Chakravarthy · Mar 27, 2023 · 46m · River of Life Christian Fellowship
The sermon emphasizes that Christian life involves building one's life upon a solid foundation, drawing lessons from the stories of missionaries and biblical passages. The core message is that while God initiates our calling through grace, our responsibility is to actively build and complete the 'tower' He calls us to build, knowing that everything will eventually be tested by fire. The ultimate goal is to have works that remain—gold, silver, and precious stones—after this testing.
Seeing Jesus Makes It Worth It All (Parting Exhortation) -- Ajay Chakravarthy -- June 22, 2026
Ajay Chakravarthy · Jul 2, 2026 · 13m · River of Life Christian Fellowship
The central message is that seeing Jesus Christ fundamentally changes one's priorities, making everything else seem worthless by comparison.

This realization—seeing the 'pearl' or the treasure—is what motivates us to willingly give up everything else.

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.

Drawing from John 1:37 and Luke 24, he illustrates that Jesus asks us what we truly seek, comparing our current lives to anonymous surveys where hidden truths emerge. The core message is to move beyond superficial following and genuinely desire the Lord, recognizing that the reward for diligently seeking Him is His presence.
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.

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.

The speaker uses passages like Matthew 11:28 and the teachings on worry (Matthew 6) to illustrate that true peace comes from surrendering anxieties about life, food, and clothing to God's care. Ultimately, coming to Christ is presented as a necessary response to God's longing for worship in spirit and truth.
Words of Encouragement - Ajay Chakravarthy & Dave Bertsch - March 29, 2020
Ajay Chakravarthy · Mar 31, 2020 · 22m · River of Life Christian Fellowship
The central message is a call to immediate repentance and readiness for Christ's return, using the analogy of the tower in Siloam. The speaker emphasizes that eternity is irreversible, meaning there are no second chances to reconcile with others or correct past wrongs. Believers must use the present time to draw close to the Lord consistently, like gathering provisions in the summer, and remain prepared like servants waiting for their master's return.
Words of Encouragement — Ajay Chakravarthy & Santosh Poonen — April 9, 2023
Ajay Chakravarthy · Apr 14, 2023 · 21m · River of Life Christian Fellowship
The speaker encourages the audience to take the Word of God personally, recognizing that God speaks to us through scripture, as exemplified by First Thessalonians 2:13. He uses the analogy of the cross and the parable of the two debtors to emphasize that true understanding and application of God's forgiveness must move beyond mere intellectual assent. The central message is the need to actively internalize the truth so that one's life reflects a deep, personal love for God's grace.
Words of Encouragement - Ajay Chakravarthy & Dave Bertsch - December 8, 2019
Ajay Chakravarthy · Dec 9, 2019 · 15m · River of Life Christian Fellowship
The central message is that true ministry and ability to help others stem from a deep, personal encounter with the Lord, exemplified by Elisha's yearning for the life of Elijah. The speaker urges the audience not to be content with merely hearing the word but to actively pursue a life following Christ, as this pursuit will empower them to bring hope to those who are spiritually bound or despairing, like the lepers. The core call is to move beyond complacency and seek a deeper relationship with God.
The Big Day - Ajay Chakravarthy - March 15, 2020
Ajay Chakravarthy · Mar 15, 2020 · 35m · River of Life Christian Fellowship
The speaker encourages the audience not to fear the current uncertainties, drawing strength from scripture which has been written for our instruction and hope. He emphasizes that just as Jesus prepared his disciples by telling them things in advance, God prepares us for difficult times. The central message is to focus on the coming Lord rather than being overwhelmed by the 'birth pangs' of the end times, maintaining faith and looking up with expectation.
Believing God Will Do the Unbelievable for Me — Ajay Chakravarthy — January 7, 2024
Ajay Chakravarthy · Jan 8, 2024 · 18m · River of Life Christian Fellowship
The sermon uses historical examples from the Bible, such as the parting of the Red Sea and the famine relief in Samaria, to illustrate that God fulfills His promises even when they seem impossible to believe. It emphasizes that God's word is reliable, and He will do things in our days that we would not believe. The speaker concludes by referencing Zacharias's doubt regarding the birth of John the Baptist, showing that belief is necessary to experience God's promises.
Be On Guard - Ajay Chakravarthy - October 28, 2018
Ajay Chakravarthy · Oct 30, 2018 · 34m · River of Life Christian Fellowship
The sermon emphasizes the seriousness of being a stumbling block to new or immature believers, citing passages from Luke 17 and Matthew 18.
