9th Feb 2025 - Yielding Our Body And Its Passions Fully To The Lord - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Feb 9, 2025 · 1h 16m
Zac Poonen teaches on yielding our body and its passions fully to the Lord by drawing parallels between Israel's exodus from Egypt and the Christian's journey to victory over sin. Using 1 Corinthians 10 and Hebrews 3-4, he explains that baptism and the Holy Spirit's baptism are meant to lead believers from slavery to sin (Egypt) into a life of complete victory over fleshly lusts (Canaan), not mere wandering in the wilderness of defeat.

The message emphasizes the importance of being prepared for Christ's return by examining human failure through the story of Adam and Eve.

The message emphasizes that God requires both honesty and compassion from His people.

12th January 2020 - The Root Of Sin & Of Salvation - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jan 12, 2020 · 1h 31m
The speaker argues that the root of all sin, tracing it to Ezekiel 28:17, is the phrase, "your heart was lifted up." This desire to exalt oneself and the resulting pride, which often stems from comparison, is the origin of all evil. True spiritual progress requires addressing this internal root of pride, rather than just managing external sinful behaviors.

3rd January 2016 - Pilgrim's Progress - What We Learn From It - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jan 3, 2016 · 1h 59m
The sermon uses John Bunyan's *Pilgrim's Progress* to illustrate the seriousness of sin and the necessity of salvation through Christ.
