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. The sky is the limit, not because of who we are, but because of who He is.If this message encourages you, share it with someone who needs fresh faith 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

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. Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.”For prayer request, please feel free to contact us at www.globalicc.org/contactTo give please click www.globalicc.org/giveCash App $iccglobalVenmo App @iccglobal

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 daily

• Why our struggle with the flesh is real—but not final

• How to feed your spirit, crucify the flesh, and be led by God’s power

• The beautiful evidence of walking with Him—the Fruit of the Spirit

Through 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.

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.
