This is live broadcast of the Hubli Conference (with Kannada Translation) - from Christian Fellowship Church, Hubli from 29th March to 30th March 2014.
Summary
The sermon emphasizes that God judges not by outward appearance but by the heart, referencing the principle from 1 Samuel 16. It warns that everything we do, think, and say is recorded, comparing our memory to a divine video camera. This record is permanent and will be revealed before God, meaning we are accountable for our entire lives, not just what others know about us.
