Hope For Life Beyond Death- [Video English-Tamil]: Br. John Kurian
“It is appointed unto man once to die, but after this the judgment” says the Bible.
But What after Death? Do you have Hope for a life beyond Death? Are you certain that if you were to die to today, you would be in Heaven?
My Friend, God Loves you and He would Love to see you in His Presence beyond Death. It is not your good works or right living, that can take you to Heaven. Lord Jesus is the only way to Heaven.
Irrespective of who you are, you can be certain of going to Heaven after death.
God is ready to forgive you of all your dreaded sins. Lord Jesus is the manifestation of His Love for you.
THE LORD’S SUPPER – Br. Phil Coulson, Scotland- [Audio sermon]
Posted below is the sermon delivered by Br. Phil Coulson of Scotland at the Maharashtra Prophecy Conference, 2009.
In this sermon, Br. Coulson highlights the difference between the Lord’s Table (1 Cor 10) and the Lord’s Supper (1 Cor 11) and touches upon the believers’ ministry to angels. While the Lord’s Table represents the spiritual provision we enjoy from God every moment of the day, the Lord’s Supper is a weekly proclamation of the redeeming power of the Lord’s death; much like the annual celebration of the Passover was for Israel. Br. Coulson brings out how the only three visible acts done by Assemblies: Believer’s Baptism, Head Covering of the women, and the Lord’s Supper, are actions that ‘make known the manifold wisdom of God’ to His angels (Eph 3:10, I Cor 11:10). Through this sermon, the Spirit of God mightily uses Br. Coulson to elicit the headship and glory of Christ that pervades the doctrines and practices of His church.

THE LORD’S TABLE – Br. Phil Coulson, Scotland – [Audio sermon]
Br. Phil Coulson Expounds from the scripture, some spiritual truths on the fellowship Lord Jesus had with His Disciples in the upper room, just before He was crucified. It was the final Supper Lord Jesus had with the the disciples
When He celebrated the passover, He was looking back to the time when the first born of the Israelites was spared because of the lamb; and He was looking forward to the time when he will take part of the bread and wine in His Kingdom. Its so great to see that the very night when the nation arrested Him to crucify Him, He looked ahead into the time when the the nation would be restored and He would have fellowship with them.
Further the Sermon highlights the difference between the Last Supper and the Lord’s Table in 1 Corinthian 10 and the the Lord’s Supper in 1 Corinthian 11

Evangelism: A Mandate Of Every Church – Br. K V Simeon- [Audio Sermon]
Posted Below is the Sermon delivered by Br. K. V. Simeon at Maharashtra Prophecy Conference in the year 2009
The Sermon is on the attitude a local assembly ought to have when it comes community evangelism. Citing examples of David, Peter, Philip, Paul and the churches at Philippi and Thessalonica, Br K V Simeon presents convincing reasons for the church to be involved in evangelism. God Honors those who confess Him. Gospel is a sacred treasure God has given us which we must share. Every member of the body of Christ in the direction of the head should be giving out the gospel.
Can we shut up the light in a bush? So Evangelism is not an option but a mandate. Evangelism is the means through which the local churches are born.
