2. Discipleship And Worship By Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jun 26, 2016 · 1h 3m
The speaker argues that a balanced understanding of the Great Commission requires recognizing both sides: preaching the gospel to all creation (Frontier evangelism) and making disciples. He emphasizes that after bringing people to Christ, the focus must shift to teaching and following Christ's way, as Paul did by building up new converts. True ministry requires this balance between evangelism and discipleship.

1. Grace And Truth By Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jun 25, 2016 · 1h 3m
The central message is that true Christian life involves reflecting Jesus's character through a perfect balance of grace and truth. The speaker argues that God cares less about mere statistics of conversion and more about the quality of the believer's life. Following Christ means daily dying to one's own will and choosing to do the will of God, which is a process of growth, not immediate perfection.

Bobby McDonald - Our Father Is Compassionate And Mindful That We Are But Dust
Bobby McDonald · Jun 22, 2016 · 11m
The central message is that our true identity and self-worth are found not in our own efforts or rights, but in our relationship with a compassionate Father who knows we are merely dust. The speaker uses the analogy of a piece of dust to illustrate that we must surrender our ego and rights, finding peace in Christ's finished work rather than in our own performance. This realization frees us from the burden of trying to earn God's favor.

Revelation And The Way Of The Cross by Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jun 13, 2016 · 1h 23m
The central message is the necessary balance between being justified by faith (the foundation) and living a life of holiness (the superstructure). While salvation is a free gift through faith in Christ, believers are called to actively pursue godliness through good works that God has specifically prepared for them. The speaker emphasizes that true Christian living means fulfilling God's unique plan for one's life, rather than following worldly standards or merely performing any good deed.

Zac Poonen · Jun 6, 2016 · 1h 13m
The central goal for Christians is to become an exact reflection of Jesus Christ. This transformation is achieved both individually through cultivating purity in one's personal life and corporately by functioning fully within the local church.

Bobby McDonald - Examining Ourselves To See If We Are In The Faith
Bobby McDonald · Jun 2, 2016 · 21m
The central message is the necessity for Christians to regularly examine themselves to ensure their faith is genuine, regardless of how long they have been in the church. True spiritual growth is proven not by tenure, but by observable inner changes in humility, gratitude, and fellowship. The speaker emphasizes that examining one's life against God's Word, like comparing colored toothbrushes in dim light, reveals areas of sin or spiritual blindness that must be addressed.

Fellowship - Another Mark Of Growth by Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · May 23, 2016 · 1h 30m
The primary mark of spiritual growth is increasing humility, which must be before God, not merely for human reputation. True humility is evidenced by obedience to God's will, as God gives grace to the humble but resists the proud. The speaker emphasizes that sinning proves one is not under grace, and spiritual growth is a progression of overcoming sin in thought, word, deed, attitude, and motive.

Humility - The Mark Of Growth by Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · May 9, 2016 · 1h 8m
The central message is that true spiritual growth is measured by emulating the profound humility of Jesus Christ, rather than by worldly achievements or perceived status. The speaker uses Jesus' ancestry (which included figures from questionable backgrounds) and his humble birth in a stable to illustrate that God values the marginalized and the lowly. Therefore, believers must reject the tendency to boast in lineage or accomplishments, focusing instead on Christ's selfless humility.

Jeremy Utley - Joshua: Inheriting The Promised Land Through Faith And Patience
Jeremy Utley · May 2, 2016 · 21m
The sermon uses the life of Joshua conquering the Promised Land to illustrate how believers can inherit God's promises. Key lessons include making things right when neglecting a command (like circumcision after crossing the Jordan), having the faith to obey seemingly ridiculous instructions (like marching around Jericho), dealing ruthlessly with sin within the community (as seen with Akhan), and executing strategic obedience even after setbacks. The overarching theme is that victory comes through faith, patience, and obedience to God's specific commands.

Bobby McDonald - The New Covenant Good Samaritan
Bobby McDonald · May 2, 2016 · 13m
The speaker emphasizes that the goal of Christians is to reflect Jesus by growing in personal purity and functioning corporately within the church. He draws parallels from the Good Samaritan parable, arguing that spiritually, people are often robbed and beaten by Satan, leaving them spiritually incapacitated. Therefore, the ministry of the Good Samaritan today involves prayer and encouragement—literally 'picking people up' and carrying them to safety.

Jeremy Utley - Come To Jesus And Drink!
Jeremy Utley · Apr 25, 2016 · 9m
The central message is that merely coming to Jesus is insufficient; one must actively 'come and drink' of the water of life. The speaker emphasizes that true faith requires an expectation that Jesus will meet our needs, moving beyond a mere ritualistic visit. If we come to Christ but leave thirsty, it suggests a failure to fully trust in the provision He offers.

The speaker shares two testimonies: first, about God transforming his heart to respond to parenting challenges with patience and compassion, citing scripture promises of God's power to move mountains. Second, he compares spiritual warfare to being on a team, emphasizing that believers are united with God against the devil. He encourages the audience to remember they are fighting together as a team with their brothers and sisters in Christ.

Bobby McDonald - Inheriting God's Promises Through Faith And Patience
Bobby McDonald · Apr 25, 2016 · 10m
True faith requires not only works but also patience to fully inherit God's promises. The speaker emphasizes that God's timing is often slower than ours, requiring endurance and perseverance. He urges listeners not to give up hope in their faith, relationships, or ministry, as doing so means missing out on the blessings God has prepared.

Bobby McDonald - Slow To Speak, Quick To Listen To God
Bobby McDonald · Apr 11, 2016 · 8m
The central message is the necessity of being quick to listen to God and slow to speak, drawing from James 1:19. The speaker emphasizes that this principle applies to everything, from conversations and emails to major life decisions, suggesting that true wisdom comes from pausing to hear God's will. Ultimately, a listening heart is one that is always ready to do God's will, which is sustained by dwelling in God's Word.

Jeremy Utley - Maintain God's Promised Rest By Obedience
Jeremy Utley · Apr 11, 2016 · 17m
The central message is that God's promised rest is not automatically permanent; it must be actively maintained through diligent obedience. Drawing from Joshua 23, the speaker argues that while God can deliver believers from known enemies, they must remain vigilant in obeying God's commandments to avoid being ensnared by worldly compromises. Maintaining this rest requires constant faithfulness to God's ways.

The speaker reflects on the encounter between Jesus and the young ruler, emphasizing that true righteousness requires more than just keeping the commandments; it demands a complete surrender to Christ. He draws a parallel between the young ruler's desire for external validation and the need for believers to die to self and live for Jesus's agenda. Furthermore, he stresses that the quality of Christian life is determined by the daily walk with the Lord, not just Sunday services, and highlights the vital ministry of encouragement within the church and family.

The central message is that Christians must strive to be an exact reflection of Jesus Christ, both individually and corporately. The speaker emphasizes that this transformation requires actively rejecting old, sinful patterns of thinking and embracing new life through faith. This process involves a deliberate commitment to leave the old self behind and run toward the goal of resurrection life in Christ.

Bobby McDonald · Apr 4, 2016 · 7m
The speaker shares a personal testimony of being freed from a lifelong slavery to fear through knowing God's love. He emphasizes that God's power can make us whole regardless of our current circumstances, drawing parallels between divine restoration and fixing something broken in life. Ultimately, the message is one of hope, reminding listeners that God's mercies are new every morning, and nothing can separate us from His love.

Jeremy Utley - God Desires Our Loyalty
Jeremy Utley · Apr 4, 2016 · 17m
The sermon explores the depth of loyalty God desires from His people, drawing heavily from Hosea and the Book of Joel. The speaker emphasizes that God values genuine, persistent loyalty over mere outward sacrifices or temporary resolutions to return. True loyalty, according to the speaker, means crying out to God in times of potential separation or struggle, demonstrating a desire to remain close to Him before falling, which is rooted in believing in His keeping power.

Jeremy Utley - Put Away All Bitterness
Jeremy Utley · Apr 3, 2016 · 10m
The speaker emphasizes the necessity of recognizing one's true spiritual condition, drawing parallels from Malachi and Revelation. He focuses heavily on the command to 'put away all bitterness,' realizing that difficult circumstances provide unique opportunities to obey God's commands. Ultimately, he teaches that the true enemy in any struggle is not another person, but one's own fleshly inclination toward ease and irritation.

The message encourages believers to strive to stand before God's glory blameless and with great joy, citing Jude 24. The speaker suggests two things that would bring such joy: completing all the good works God intended for them, and having Jesus Christ confessing them before the Father. Ultimately, the assurance that Jesus can keep believers from stumbling on the narrow path is presented as the key promise.

The speaker encourages diligence in knowing Scripture, citing examples of memorization and reading as spiritual disciplines. He warns against relying on personal strength or fleshly decisions, urging believers to be prudent and avoid giving opportunities to sin. The message concludes with a call to give oneself fully to God, mirroring the Macedonian church's example of giving first of all.
