This is a live broadcast of the Coimbatore Conference (with Tamil Translation) - from Christian Fellowship Church, Coimbatore on 27th October 2013. Theme : Building Godly families and the Church

Summary

The speaker emphasizes that true Christian living means living as Jesus did, which involves completely dying to self and living for the Father's will. He uses the analogy of treating symptoms versus curing the root cause of a disease to explain that merely fighting outward sins is insufficient; one must address the root of sin. The sermon also touches upon the origin of sin, noting that it corrupted not only humanity but also the surrounding environment and spiritual realm.

Outline

The message in plain words, in the order it unfolds. Select a time to jump the video to that moment.

Where did sin begin?Just like a sickness with sores on the body, dealing only with external sins is like putting ointment on the fruit instead of treating the root.

Lucifer and the origin of pridePride in one's beauty, wisdom, and position was the very first sin in the universe, originating in the angelic realm with Lucifer.

Pride leads to rebellionWhen pride enters the heart, it naturally produces rebellion against authority, which is the exact root behind all ongoing personal struggles with sin.

Living under graceGrace is like a protective roof; if we stay fully under it by practicing humility, sin will not have dominion over us.

The Luciferian ministry of divisionJust as Lucifer gathered angels to rebel in heaven, discontented individuals in the church often try to gather others to create faction and division.

Jesus learned obedience through testingBefore His public ministry, Jesus spent thirty years in Nazareth practicing absolute submission and passing every test of humility.

Embracing personal submissionThe speaker shares personal testimony of enduring years of unjust humiliation under leadership without rebelling, emphasizing the necessity of yielding to God.

The rebellion of Korah, Dathan, and AbiramKorah and others rebelled against Moses' leadership, gathering followers, but God dramatically judged their rebellion while sparing those who separated themselves.

The legacy of the sons of KorahThe sons of Korah chose to stand with God's servant instead of their father's rebellion, and they later wrote psalms expressing deep love for God's house.

Proper boundaries of submissionWhile wives and children are called to submit, ultimate allegiance belongs to God; if authority commands disobedience to God, one must stand with the Lord.

Handling disagreements in a churchIf one finds unfaithfulness in a local assembly, a believer should quietly leave rather than staying behind to stir up rebellious factions.
