Watch the Live Stream of the Hyderabad Conference 2015. Theme: An Overcoming Life and True Fellowship. 28th & 29th November 2015. For more videos, visit www.cfcindia.com
Summary
The sermon emphasizes that fulfilling God's promises, both in the Old and New Testaments, is contingent upon the believer's faith. The speaker uses the Israelites' journey from Egypt to Canaan as an example, noting that while God made promises, the people often failed to experience them due to a lack of faith, such as when they doubted God's ability to deliver them into Canaan. True faith is necessary to overcome life's challenges and receive God's blessings.

God's Twofold Promise to IsraelGod promised Moses to bring the Israelites out of slavery in Egypt and into the land flowing with milk and honey.
Why Half the Promise Remained UnfulfilledEvery Bible promise requires faith to be experienced, and while the people had faith to leave Egypt, they lacked faith to face the giants in Canaan.
An Example for Us TodayPaul warns the Corinthians that most Israelites failed in the wilderness, serving as an example that believers can experience forgiveness yet fail to enter an overcoming life.
True New Birth versus False SecurityTrue salvation produces spiritual fruit, and believers must examine their lives honestly rather than assuming they are born again simply because they said a prayer.
Valuing Christ's SacrificeBelievers often treat salvation like a cheap gift rather than realizing the immense price Jesus paid on the cross to deliver them.
The Greatest CommandmentWhen asked about the greatest command, Jesus pointed to loving God with all one's heart and loving one's neighbor as oneself.
What the Overcoming Life Is NotAn overcoming life is not measured by fasting, Bible knowledge, or missionary work, as even Satan and the Pharisees had those without spiritual life.
Saved From Sin, Not Just HellJesus was given His name because He saves His people from their sins, yet many falsely preach a gospel focused only on escaping hell while remaining in sin.
Being Married to ChristTrue salvation is not driven by a desire to escape hell, but by a passionate, personal union with Jesus Christ above all else.
To Live Is ChristPaul viewed his imprisonment and impending death through the lens of exalting Christ and departing to be with Him.
The Secret of Jesus' LifeQuoting David's prophecy, the speaker explains that Jesus constantly beheld the Father in His presence, keeping Him unshaken.
Digging Deep into the WordLazy believers who only read the surface of Scripture remain spiritually poor, while diligent study of Old Testament references brings deep spiritual riches.
David's Lapse in JudgmentEven a man after God's own heart fell into devastating sin with Bathsheba because he failed to keep the Lord before him in a moment of ease.
The Difference the Holy Spirit MakesUnder the Old Covenant the Spirit was upon people like a flowing river, but under the New Covenant the Holy Spirit dwells inside a cleansed heart.
Ministry Versus a Clean HeartOn the final day, outward ministry and miracles will not matter if a person's innermost being remained full of unconfessed sin.
Serving Out of Love, Not MoneyTrue servants of Christ function like a faithful bride serving out of love, refusing to commercialize ministry or act like spiritual prostitutes.
