Choosing The Good Always - Zac Poonen (Telugu)
Kakinada Conference 2013 - Seek Good And Not Evil, That You May Live: 1. Choosing The Good Always - Zac Poonen (Telugu)
Summary
The sermon emphasizes that believers must constantly focus on Jesus Christ as the most important person present. Drawing from Amos 5:14, the core message is to 'seek good and not evil' to live, as God's presence is contingent upon this pursuit. The speaker contrasts the historical inability of many religious leaders to live according to God's will with Jesus's life, which demonstrated how to live righteously, establishing the Kingdom of Heaven here on earth within the church.
