This is a recording of the Youth Meeting at Christian Fellowship Church, Bangalore.
Summary
The speaker emphasizes that the Bible is the primary source of divine revelation, noting that God acts through His Word, not just through emotional experience. He draws parallels between the creation account (God speaking to bring light) and personal life transformation, urging listeners to sit at Jesus's feet, listen, and respond to what God speaks to them. Ultimately, the speaker teaches that the true treasure of wisdom and knowledge is found in Jesus, and treasuring God's Word in one's heart is the defense against the devil's lies.
