HUBLI CONFERENCE - 2014: Session - 8
CFC Messages · Mar 30, 2014 · 1h 14m
The sermon emphasizes that God judges not by outward appearance but by the heart, referencing the principle from 1 Samuel 16. It warns that everything we do, think, and say is recorded, comparing our memory to a divine video camera. This record is permanent and will be revealed before God, meaning we are accountable for our entire lives, not just what others know about us.

HUBLI CONFERENCE - 2014: Session - 3
CFC Messages · Mar 29, 2014 · 1h 0m
The speaker emphasizes that the core message of the New Covenant is not salvation from hell, but salvation from sin, as stated in the first promise of the New Testament. He warns against misunderstanding Jesus's name, 'Yesu,' to mean only 'Savior from hell,' stressing instead that it means 'He who saves from sin.' The message also covers the need for constant vigilance against sin, urging believers to rise from sin immediately, like a ball bouncing off a paddle, rather than dwelling on past sins or self-condemnation.

What The Lord's Table Really Means - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Mar 9, 2014 · 44m
The speaker discusses the significance of observing the Lord's Table, drawing from 1 Corinthians 10 and 11. He emphasizes that participation requires more than just claiming faith; one must demonstrate a life that actively stays away from sin. The observance reminds believers of the cross's dual nature—vertical relationship with God and horizontal fellowship with others—and warns against spiritual deception or betrayal within the body of Christ.

7.Love (Part 2) - Santosh Poonen
Santosh Poonen · Feb 21, 2014 · 41m
The speaker emphasizes that love is a discipline toward God, drawing a parallel between Newton's third law of motion and spiritual life. He argues that the depth of one's love for God is proportional to the magnitude of sin one has been forgiven. True love, therefore, is the equal and opposite reaction to the grace received through forgiveness.

3.Like The Days Of Noah And Lot - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Feb 21, 2014 · 58m
The sermon warns that the last days will be characterized by deception and a pervasive love of self, making it difficult for true Christians to remain steadfast. The speaker emphasizes that true discipleship requires taking up the cross and dying to self, contrasting this with the modern tendency to get offended or prioritize personal reputation over Christ's name. He urges listeners to resist the 'infection' of loving self, money, or pleasure, and instead, to measure their faith against the high standards of God's Word and Jesus' example.

God Is A Good Father: 3.A Father Who Rebukes And Disciplines Us - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Feb 11, 2014 · 1h 2m
The speaker discusses three aspects of God's fatherly love: welcoming the lost, providing for our needs, and rebuking/disciplining us. While we are initially drawn to the welcome and provision, true spiritual growth requires accepting discipline, as this is a mark of God's love. The speaker warns against spiritual complacency, comparing repeated sin to returning to the 'pigs farm' after experiencing the father's table.

Building A New Covenant Church: 1.Planted By God Himself - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Feb 1, 2014 · 57m
The speaker argues that many Christians operate under the Old Covenant, evidenced by their inability to achieve victory over sin, which is a hallmark of living under grace. He critiques modern church structures as mere organizations rather than the supernatural Body of Christ, emphasizing that true spiritual life requires deep study of God's Word. The core message is the necessity of living in the New Covenant, which is characterized by pressing on to perfection and understanding God's continuous provision and victory over sin, even after the Fall.

Why Another Church: 1.A Remnant True To God - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jan 31, 2014 · 58m
The speaker addresses the question of why new churches are started, arguing that God allows divisions to make those who are truly approved by Him evident. He emphasizes that a church must function as a visible light, warning that complacency or unconfessed sin allows the light to become darkness. Ultimately, the goal is to maintain a strong, visible witness for God, even if the church is small, as this is what Satan opposes.

transcribingFollowing Christ In The New Year: 3.A Life Of Self Acknowlegement - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jan 31, 2014 · 1h 1m
The sermon emphasizes that following Christ in the new year requires a life of self-acknowledgement. This means recognizing one's true spiritual state and sinfulness before God. True Christian living involves a continuous process of self-examination and repentance.

A Marriage Blessed By God: 2.Principles To Build A Godly Home - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jan 30, 2014 · 1h 7m
The speaker emphasizes that every aspect of life, including marriage, faces problems, but God always provides a solution. He draws parallels from Genesis, the wedding at Cana, and the relationship between Christ and the Church to teach that we must approach challenges with great hope in God's ability to solve them. Furthermore, he stresses the need for personal confession of sin, taking responsibility rather than blaming others, and maintaining a gentle spirit in communication.

The Marks Of True Faith: 2.The Obedience Of Faith - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jan 30, 2014 · 57m
True faith is marked by maintaining a good conscience, which involves acknowledging, confessing, and seeking forgiveness for sins both before God and others. Furthermore, true faith is demonstrated by the 'obedience of faith for his name's sake,' which is distinct from actions done for personal gain or reward. On the final day, God will judge not only our actions but also the hidden motives behind them.

Overcoming Anger - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Nov 21, 2013 · 2m 14s
The speaker contrasts the New Testament method for overcoming anger—remaining continuously filled with the Holy Spirit, which restrains the tongue—with an Old Testament method for those not filled with the Spirit. This Old Testament method, derived from Psalm 4:4, advises that when angry, one should go to bed, keep their mouth shut, and build their case before God, waiting for His verdict rather than reacting hastily.

Sexual Temptation – Overcome It By Fearing God – Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Nov 20, 2013 · 7m
The central message is that overcoming sexual temptation requires nothing more than the fear of God, as exemplified by Joseph in Genesis 39. The speaker argues that excuses like lack of Holy Spirit filling or insufficient Bible study are insufficient; the root cause is a lack of reverence for God. Maintaining this fear of God is presented as the beginning of wisdom, which is necessary for a righteous life, including a happy marriage.

Faithful Stewards - 2.The New Covenant Fulness of The Spirit - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Nov 18, 2013 · 1h 5m
The speaker contrasts the natural tendency to experience spiritual highs and lows with the divine standard of continuous, progressive growth, likened to the sun's increasing brilliance. He warns that attempting to adapt God's truth to personal comfort or finding excuses for failure leads to spiritual deception. True discipleship requires embracing the truth, accepting self-examination, and acknowledging one's sinfulness, mirroring the honest confession found at the cross.

Question & Answer | How to Conquer Satan and Win | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Oct 27, 2013 · 1h 37m
The sermon discusses three key aspects of Christian life: repentance, restitution, and justification. Repentance means turning away from all idols—anything given the first place in our hearts, whether it's sin, money, or relationships—and turning to God alone. Restitution involves making amends for wrongs done to others, whether through returning misused property or seeking forgiveness. Finally, justification is explained as being declared righteous by God through Christ's blood, which is superior to mere forgiveness because it adds God's righteousness to our account.

COIMBATORE CONFERENCE - Session 6 - 11.45 AM to 1:00 PM | Zac Poonen.
Zac Poonen · Oct 27, 2013 · 1h 6m
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.

COIMBATORE CONFERENCE - Session 5 - 09:00 AM to 11:30 AM | Zac Poonen.
Zac Poonen · Oct 27, 2013 · 2h 31m
The central message emphasizes that genuine worship and praise must stem from a deep, personal reason or experience. The speaker uses examples from scripture, such as the descendants of Korah and Mary, to illustrate that true devotion is rooted in recognizing one's own sinfulness and the immense grace received through Jesus Christ. Ultimately, the reason for loving Jesus is the realization of His sacrificial love, which makes all other earthly possessions insignificant.

COIMBATORE CONFERENCE - Session 2 - 11.45 AM to 1.00 PM | Zac Poonen.
Zac Poonen · Oct 26, 2013 · 1h 7m
The speaker discusses the inadequacy of the old covenant and the law to truly change humanity, comparing it to trying to repair an old, irreparable car. He emphasizes that true transformation requires recognizing one's inherent sinfulness and accepting that the old self must be crucified with Christ. Furthermore, he stresses the necessity of daily self-denial—choosing the 'way of death to self' every day—and actively seeking to be filled with the Holy Spirit, distinguishing this divine life from merely 'good' living.

Zac Poonen · Jun 7, 2013 · 1h 6m
The speaker emphasizes that the foundation of the church is built on speaking the truth, and he cautions against hypocrisy, which he states is the sin he detests most. He advises believers to be discerning in their friendships, warning that associating with worldly or half-hearted people can lead to spiritual decline. Ultimately, he stresses that freedom from hypocrisy is a more critical goal than achieving perfection.

God Shows His Way To The Humble - Zac Poonen (Telugu)
Zac Poonen · May 26, 2013 · 52m
The sermon emphasizes that God reveals His way of life to sinners, not just the righteous. It teaches that humanity's good deeds are not acceptable to God, as they are like filthy rags, and even our 'holy' things can harbor sin. Ultimately, Jesus Christ must take away the sin present even in our most sacred aspects, illustrating that sin permeates all areas of life.

The Power Of The Spirit To Make Us Christ Like - Zac Poonen (Telugu)
Zac Poonen · May 26, 2013 · 54m
The central message is that when God is with us, it means we have the power to overcome sin and choose good over evil, not that we will be protected from physical suffering or sickness. The Holy Spirit empowers believers to walk like Jesus, who never sinned and was good to everyone, proving God's presence. This power allows us to choose love and avoid hatred, as God's love is poured into our hearts through the Spirit.

United With Christ In His Resurrection - Zac Poonen (Telugu)
Zac Poonen · May 26, 2013 · 58m
The sermon emphasizes that true spiritual life comes not from mere knowledge of scripture or adherence to religious rules (the letter), but from being open to and guided by the Holy Spirit. The speaker uses examples from the Bible, such as Adam and Eve and the church in Laodicea, to illustrate that intellectual knowledge or outward religious activity can lead to spiritual death if pride is allowed to set in. Ultimately, believers must allow the Holy Spirit to convict them of sin rather than relying solely on their own understanding or study.
