This is live broadcast of the Tuticorin Conference (with Tamil Translation) - from Christian Fellowship Church, Tuticorin from 14th Jan to 16th Jan October 2014.
Summary
The speaker addresses the congregation, urging them to live for a purpose beyond worldly glory, questioning for whom they are living. Drawing from John 6, the message emphasizes that Jesus's teaching is not merely intellectual but is the Spirit giving life. He encourages the listeners to follow Jesus by faith, trusting Him to lead them through difficult paths, much like trusting a guide rather than relying on self-made paths.

Is the narrow way too difficult?When people hear about the narrow and difficult path, they may feel discouraged, but we should not give in to Satan's deceptions as the disciples once did.
The Spirit gives life; the flesh counts for nothingJesus explains that His words are full of spirit and life, urging believers not to listen to doubts about the hardness of the way.
Believing in the One God sentThe work God requires is simply to believe in the One He has sent, trusting Him to step down and impart His divine life to us.
Living by the Son as the Father livesJust as Jesus lives because of the Father, those who feed on Him in faith will draw life and light from Him.
The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorifiedJesus viewed the cross not as mere hardship, but as the triumphant moment when the ruler of this world would be driven out and all people drawn to Him.
A heart to fear God and keep His commandsGod desires that His people have a heart to obey Him so that it may always go well with them and their descendants.
Seek first His kingdom and righteousnessWhile unbelievers chase after earthly things, believers who prioritize the narrow path will have all necessary things added to them.
The well-being of your childrenWalking the way of the cross ensures that the peace and well-being of your children will be great.
From the narrow way to life and fellowshipThe progression of true discipleship moves from walking the narrow way to receiving life and entering into genuine fellowship with God and fellow believers.
Humility and recognizing our limitationsTrue fellowship requires the humble attitude that we do not know everything and that God understands situations better than we do.
Christ intercedes for usEven when we stumble or feel we have failed to walk the narrow path properly, Christ is at the right hand of God interceding for us.
Able to save completelyJesus is able to save completely those who draw near to God through Him, because He always lives to make intercession for them.Hebrews 7:25
Jesus is the only wayJesus declared that He is the way, the truth, and the life, and no one comes to the Father except through Him.
Disciplining the body to win the prizeLike an athlete in training, the apostle Paul disciplined his body and brought it under subjection so he would not be disqualified after preaching to others.
Fighting the good fightWith faith in Christ and a willingness to humbly confess our faults, we can finish the race and secure the crown of righteousness.
