 I just want to read from 1 Corinthians 14 and verse 1 which reads like this, purse you love and desire spiritual gifts, but especially that you may prophesy. Pursue love, desire spiritual gifts, especially that you may prophesy. So this is a check for all of us, instruction for all of us as we begin to reflect and look and see, you know, invite this verse, am I actually pursuing love, am I desiring spiritual gifts and desiring spiritual gifts and especially am I desiring that I may prophesy or speak forth as moved by the Holy Spirit, speak forth as inspired by the Holy Spirit in my speaking, in my ministering. So this is a, you know, kind of a check for us to really reflect and see, you know, am I doing this in my life, right? And we can just pray and ask the Lord, yeah, Lord, I just want to, I want to do this. I want to purse you love, the character of God, the nature of God. I want to, you know, let this God kind of love Agape be expressed in my ministering, expressed in my interactions, right? Secondly, Lord, may I have that passionate zeal. We all studied that we all learned that this would be called Zellu, which means you're just in a negative context. It means strong desire and like lust. So is that the passionate desire of our hearts? Well, is that there all the time? Is it there? We need to check. We need to ask if it's not there, you know, why, you know, why not? Have we cooled off in pursuit of God, did something happen? Was there compromise, you know, was there some hurt or whatever? You know, whatever be the reason, because this is scripture. This is scriptural exhortation that you purse you love, go after Christlikeness at the same time, desire, spiritual gifts, for us to really be red-hot passionate about that, because it's the expression of the Holy Spirit, right? The gifts are a manifestation of the Spirit. So do I have that intense desire for the Holy Spirit to manage these gifts in me and through me? And the thing is especially that we may speak forth as the oracles of God, right? That we may not speak out of our own resources, but as the Holy Spirit puts His word in our hearts, as there is a reposite of His word in our hearts, and as the Holy Spirit quickens these, that we will understand that way. So let's pray. Father, we thank you for this reminder that we can look back on, reflect and see in our own lives of Father God, whether we are pursuing love. Lord, in all those situations, Father God, in all those maybe difficulties, challenges with difficult people, Lord, in our own household, Father God, or are we pursuing love? Master, we ask, O God, that there be an outpouring, Father God, of love, for the unlovable, Master. Lord, we thank you that through your Holy Spirit, you have poured out the love that comes from you into our hearts. And may these find expression, Lord, through our lives, Father God, through our motives, attitudes, conversations, choices. Lord, responses to people, everything, Lord. And I just pray, Father God, that we will, Lord, have a strong desire for the work of the Holy Spirit in our lives, for the work of the Holy Spirit through our lives, in thought and word and action, and the gifts, Lord, that we would just pursue that, Father God. Maybe never stop pursuing God. Maybe never stop desiring. Maybe never stop, O God, for a greater level, O God, for a greater level of, Lord, manifestation of your gifts, Father God, of yourself, O God. Yes, Lord, we thank you. And Lord, that we may speak forth as we are moved by your spirit, as we are inspired by your spirit, that we may, Lord, take every opportunity to, Lord, to hear from you, God. Sharpen our hearing, O God, Lord, even as your word says, let him who has ears hear what the Spirit of God is saying. Let him who has an ear hear what the Spirit of God is saying, Lord. Lord, sharpen our spiritual ears. Open our spiritual ears, God. Open our spiritual eyes, Lord, to see you, hear you, to receive from you, Master. We thank you, Lord. We bless your name. We bless your name, Father God. I pray, Lord, even as you called us to be Spokesperson's God, that we may do so in this manner, Lord, pursuing love and desiring spiritual gifts and prophesying, Father God, may we do this. May we, Lord, communicate, may we proclaim the truth of your kingdom. May we, Lord, in all our communication, may we point to you and draw people to you, God. It's a Lord we thank you. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen. Okay, so I just wanted to talk to us and also get your thoughts. How are things? Have you gone back to that topic? Do you remember what the topic is? Okay, so maybe just, you know, I'll just quickly share that screen with all of us so that we know the topics that we have actually confirmed. Okay, let me just share that. Okay, I hope you can see this, right? Okay, it's come up. So, Isaac, Isaac Gandhi, his sermon title is Youths and Violence. Probably you should make it Youth and Violence, a singular. And, okay, Subashish is saved to save others. You can even make it save to save. That would be nice, catchy. Zoe, the God kind of life. Okay, then Elisha, the second coming of Jesus, I think. Okay, maybe you can change it here. Elisha, the second coming of Jesus. Georgia, okay, let me just see how many of you are here in the last place. Okay, some of us are here, some of us are not. Okay, anyway, let me just go through even if they watch the video a little later. So, Georgia is stewarding your rebound. Then Enoch's success is wasted life. Zalitoli, how to cast off demons. I think that's a double F over there. How to cast off demons like Jesus. Then Rosalind is perfect love, casts out fear. Then Jeffina is a special purpose. Okay, well, if you want to change the title, you have access to it like all of us have. So, you could do it maybe today, tomorrow, maybe this weekend, but not later than that, please. Until end of day, Sunday, you can take time to change the title, rework the title, you know, kind of define it, but not later than that. Okay, later than that. Okay, Aradhana Kamble is persecution in the early church. Then Linden is why, how, when. Okay, so that's not very explanatory title, but it's definitely intriguing. So, yeah, you could go with that. Paul is hindrances to revivers and restorations. Then Lea Lama is turning point, never be the same. And Abu Bakr is the testimonies of waiters. Okay, interesting title. And Isaiah 4031, very nice. Lubega Colin is, are you ready for the king's audit? Are you ready, I guess? Are we ready, if you want to change it to that? Are we ready for the king audit? Are you ready for the king's audit? So, those are 16, right? 16 titles, 16 people who have come forward to share. So, we will start from next, from Tuesday onwards. So, you will have about, okay, I'm just going to put it here, but I will also put it in the stream. So, online class and the e-learning will have 12 minutes to share. 12 minutes is your sermon. So, whatever you want to share from that title, you take 12 minutes to do that. Okay, so you finish it, there will be a timer. And when there's one minute to go, maybe at the end of, start of the 12th minute or end of 11 minutes, sorry, yeah, end of 11 minutes, I will just, you know, give a reminder, then you can finish it within a minute. Okay, so at the end of 12 minutes, I'll probably mute your mic so you know that 12 minutes are done, right? So, but you can also keep a timer, maybe you can on your phone or whatever, and it will be easy for you to just time yourself. But practice that, practice whatever you want to share within that 12 minutes, okay. Yeah, time yourself, try it out. Let's also put together whatever, you know, in the sermon construction or sermon outline construction, whatever we have shared so far, let's try to, you know, work that, let's try to put it in practice. And so once you, you know, share the message, kindly upload your sermon outline in the stream, right? So I hope you know how to do that so you can upload the sermon outline in the stream. Those of you are watching, I mean, watching this video probably in the e-learning class, there will be a set of instructions for you on the e-learning discussion, right? Which will be uploaded at the end of, by the time you watch this video, it will be uploaded on how to take the video. So you will be basically shooting a video or making a video of the message of you sharing the message and you will be uploading it, right? On a Google Drive and sending me the link. So I will give a detailed instruction on how to do that and so on. So you can go with that, right? Okay, so the others who are on online class, a few things here, so you have 12 minutes. You can use, now this applies to both e-learning and online. You can use a PowerPoint. So you try it out. I would suggest that you make a PowerPoint and then just convert it into a PDF, right? You save the PowerPoint file as a PDF. It will be easier for you to actually just go through. But you can use a PowerPoint also, PowerPoint presentation also, that's fine. Yeah, so like we saw the TED Talk videos, we saw how impactful the PowerPoint is, provided we don't crowd it, saturate it with too much text, right? So be mindful of that. You know, we saw those videos which were really impactful, which had visuals, which had text, but it was just to enhance the talk, right? So you just be mindful of that. Don't cover the entire screen with text. It'll be difficult for people to read, and we don't want to do that, okay? You know, the other thing is also, like, to speak into, I mean, to look into the camera. Now it's, I hope your internet is okay, wherever you are. So just try that out. Make sure that you're in a, you know, like a plain background, or something which is minimal, like where I am right now. So there's nothing distracting. There are no people walking fast, or there's no noise in the background, right? So just wanted to ask, you know, is everyone okay with that? You know, from the time, like this, it'll be this hour, right? Normally Indian time, 11 to 11.50. So I don't know what environment you are in, and you know, what time it is in your country, around that time. So, but I just want to know, you know, can you do that, right? Can you make sure that you are in an environment where it's quiet, or not too much noise, ambient noise, and where the internet is okay, and you know, you can make the presentation, right? So, yeah, Elisha, Lubega, Leelama, Prezi, you know, any problems with this, any challenges? You know, you can let me know. Say anything. I just want to ask if it's 12 minutes for each person. Yeah. So it will go on for like three classes, right? Yes. If it's okay, then I'm okay. Yeah. So how will I know when is my turn, when is others turn? Yeah. So we start from 8th November, okay? So, 8th November, then we have, we do not have a class on 10th November, but we will have a class on 15th November. 10th November, we don't have a class. So it's 8th November, 15th November, 17th November, and the last one on the 12th, 22nd of November. Okay, so that's four sessions. Yeah, so Lubega, so is that okay? That's fine. So we'll have 12 minutes each. Okay, Lubega asks the question, is the presentation going to be live or recorded? So it's going to be live, Lubega. It's not recorded. For the online students, it is live. So how we, you know, come into this class, just like how you are right now. So you will unmute your mic. You will switch on your camera, and then you will present. So it's going to be live. And okay, Rosalind, you can't switch on your video. You don't have any problem with that, Rosalind? Noise is it, okay? Ambient noise, okay? Okay, just see if it's for the 12 minutes, if you can manage, or probably, you know, for that particular... Yeah, yeah, okay. Okay, so what I'll do is, see, I actually thought it wouldn't be nice if we just give a list and say, okay, this day, this person, well, we could do that. But actually I want everybody to be there for all the sessions, so you can get to see how everybody is present. And you can also learn from that as well. So, okay, let me just give you some time. Let me just think and then present. Because in earlier sessions, you would just randomly pick, okay, there's an online, actually picker. Just put the names and then it'll just, an arrow which goes around and then rests at one name and then we pick that person. So we used to do that, so we could do that. But yeah, but if it's, you know, if the environment is going to be noisy and you need to, for that particular day, you need to make some changes, et cetera, that's fine, I can actually, you know, we can pick some dates and say, okay, these four people are presenting. But the problem is, if you don't show up on that day, then you don't get to present, you know, that's the thing, you know, and four people are ready and the other four, maybe someone is not there. Maybe two people are not there, two people are there. And then, you know, we need two more people to present on that day. We don't want to waste that time, right? So that's the thing. So it'll be great if everybody is prepared. Right from next Tuesday is everybody is prepared. You just, you know, tell yourself, okay, I'm going to, I'll be presenting today. Okay, so you just prepare, but I will also, you know, put out that list, right? So that's the thing. So anybody, apart from Rosalind, who has a challenge with ambient noise, ambient sound, by that I mean, you know, you're in a place where there is a lot going on, maybe there's traffic. Anybody else has that issue? Everyone else is okay? Alisha, you're okay? Yeah, especially. Yeah, okay, great, great, Alisha. So, Subash, you also, okay. So what I'll do is, Subash, Rosalind, maybe, you know, we'll just pick a day and you guys will stick to that day, right? So that day, you can just make sure, you can plan ahead, make sure that, you know, you can just be in a setting where there's, you can plan to be in a place where there's low noise or no noise and you can do that, right? Okay, so maybe Rosalind and Subash can go for day one. Okay, so you can, maybe next Tuesday, you guys can do it. I'll put up the list on the stream and the date. Okay, but we need to stick to it, right? Okay, so we have eight, 15, 17 and 22. And if need be, we'll go into 24, but I'm hoping that we won't need to do that. Okay, okay, so any questions? Any doubts, any questions? Okay, yes, Lebega? Yes, Pastor, I'm asking, shall we also share when we are seated or shall we need to stand up? But you can be seated. Okay. I think that will be most comfortable. You'll be using your phone or your laptop. So I think you just sit and do it. That's fine. Thank you, sir. Yeah, most welcome. Okay. Any other questions? Anything that, okay, right. Okay, so I think, yeah, that's it. Those are some things that I just wanted to share in this session and we can close. So we'll start from next Tuesday onwards, which is 8th, right? Okay, if there are no questions, we'll close. Thank you. Thank you for being here. God bless. All right.
