Six Verses That Describe Our Vision - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jul 25, 2022 · 59m
The speaker emphasizes that a church's vision must remain focused on God's original calling, which is building the body rather than accumulating physical assets.

Knowing God the Father and His Values - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jul 11, 2022 · 41m
The speaker argues that humanity's distorted sense of values stems from choosing the 'knowledge of good and evil' over the 'tree of life,' which is represented by Jesus Christ. True understanding of God's values, leading to eternal life, is not found merely through deep scriptural knowledge or adherence to rituals, but through a personal relationship with Jesus. The speaker warns that valuing things highly in the world, such as money or even religious knowledge, can be detestable to God.

Revelation Changes Our Life - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Apr 20, 2022 · 1m 49s
True understanding of scripture goes beyond mere knowledge or intellectual belief; it must become a personal revelation that fundamentally changes one's life.

A Reverential Fear Of God - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Feb 18, 2022 · 1h 6m
