When life feels overwhelming and your strength is gone, God’s grace has not run out. This message gently confronts the common saying that “God will never give you more than you can handle” and replaces it with the deeper, more honest promise of Scripture. God never guaranteed a life we could always manage, but He did promise His presence and sufficient grace when our strength runs out.Drawing from 2 Corinthians 1:8–10 and 2 Corinthians 12:9–10, this teaching shows how even the apostle Paul faced seasons that were far beyond his ability to endure. Overwhelm is not a sign of weak faith; it’s often the place where God teaches us to rely on Him instead of ourselves. God’s power is not displayed by removing every burden, but by meeting us in our weakness with sustaining grace.If you’re tired, discouraged, or at the end of yourself, this message is for you. When life is too much, God is not disappointed in you. He is inviting you closer. His grace is enough, His presence is near, and His strength is made perfect in your weakness.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

Anchored in His PromiseMain Passage: Luke 8:22–25The moment you step into Luke 8:22-25, you realize the story isn’t really about a boat or a storm. It’s about the quiet authority of Jesus and the fragile trust of the disciples. They stepped into the boat because He invited them, not knowing that the waters ahead would test everything they believed about Him. This passage shows us how quickly confidence can crumble when life shifts and how quickly fear rises when control slips from our hands. Yet woven through the chaos is something stronger than fear: a word from Jesus that came before the storm ever showed up.God knows what you're carrying. He sees the storm, the stress, and the sleepless nights. But the storm isn’t evidence that He’s left you. It’s the setting where His promises hold you.When Jesus said, “Let us go over to the other side, that wasn’t just a plan; it was a promise. And when God gives a promise, it becomes your anchor, even in chaos.So let’s talk about what it means to be anchored, not in comfort, not in control—but in the unchanging promises of God.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

The heavens declare a God who is bigger than our fears, our failures, and even our dreams.We look closely and see His nearness.

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. Your perspective can change your life—and your worship can change your perspective.If this message blesses you:Like, comment, and share it with someone who needs encouragement today.Connect With UsSubscribe for weekly sermons and teachings.Join us in worship every Sunday at International Christian Church (Pontiac, MI).
