Zac Poonen · Apr 6, 2013 · 49m

The speaker concludes by noting the power of corporate prayer, citing the miraculous release of Peter from prison as evidence.

Zac Poonen · Apr 6, 2013 · 50m
The central message is that salvation comes purely through grace by faith in Jesus Christ, not by adherence to the law or good works. Paul argues that mixing the law with the Holy Spirit spoils the message, comparing it to mixing oil and water. He emphasizes that all people are sinners, and salvation is a free gift that cannot be earned through human effort or religious rules.

The speaker emphasizes the gravity of sin by pointing to the necessity of Christ's death for forgiveness, asserting that Jesus is the only way to heaven.

08.Faith And Obedience - Zac Poonen (With Tamil Translation)
Zac Poonen · Jun 24, 2012 · 27m
True obedience to God is not merely following rules or performing religious acts for reward, but rather it must stem from a deep, sincere faith. The speaker distinguishes between mechanical obedience, which can be rooted in fear or the desire for material profit, and the genuine 'obedience of faith.'

20.God Is Our Father - Zac Poonen (With Tamil Translation)
Zac Poonen · Jun 24, 2012 · 26m
The central message is that true security and a changed life come from understanding and relating to God as a Father, not just as a Lord or Master. Knowing God as Father means experiencing a deep, intimate union with Him, which provides protection and peace regardless of external circumstances. This knowledge of God's nature is what constitutes 'eternal life,' which is defined by the quality of knowing God, not merely the length of time lived.

22.Becoming Good Like God - Zac Poonen (With Tamil Translation)
Zac Poonen · Jun 24, 2012 · 27m
The central message is that true freedom from anxiety comes from deeply knowing God as a Father, rather than feeling like an insecure, adopted child. The speaker uses analogies—like an adopted child's fear or the provision for Adam—to illustrate that believers are genuinely and securely adopted by God. Furthermore, he emphasizes that God's provision (home, job, wife) is always planned before the work begins, and that believers are called to rest in God's grace rather than laboring under obligation.

25.God Controls All People And Events - Zac Poonen (With Tamil Translation)
Zac Poonen · Jun 24, 2012 · 25m
The central message is that God is the blessed controller of all things, meaning He ultimately controls all people and events, even allowing Satan to exist. This sovereignty is illustrated by the parable of the narrow path, where the chains on the lions prevent them from touching those who remain on the path. Believers must maintain faith and remember God's ultimate control amidst life's difficulties.

27.Cain And Abel - Zac Poonen (With Tamil Translation)
Zac Poonen · Jun 24, 2012 · 27m
The sermon uses the story of Cain and Abel to teach that God values the heart of the person as much as the offering. While Abel's offering is presented as a type of blood sacrifice, the speaker emphasizes that true righteousness comes only through the blood offering of Jesus Christ. Furthermore, the Lord's regard was first for Abel, and then for his offering, indicating that the person's heart condition is crucial for true salvation, which requires both faith and repentance.

Zac Poonen · Jun 24, 2012 · 27m
Genuine faith is evidenced by a spirit of praise and thanksgiving, as illustrated by examples like being released from prison or healed from sickness.

40.Praise Brings Victory - Zac Poonen (With Tamil Translation)
Zac Poonen · Jun 24, 2012 · 26m
When faced with overwhelming fear, the response should be to seek God through fasting, prayer, and gathering believers together. The speaker emphasizes that faith and fear are opposites, and to strengthen faith, one must confess God's power, recall God's past faithfulness, and boldly claim God's promises. Ultimately, when problems arise, the believer's role is simply to present the issue to God without trying to dictate the solution.
