Don't Make Your Belly Your God - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Nov 20, 2024 · 4m 51s
The speaker warns against making earthly pleasures, specifically food, an idol in our lives. Drawing from Philippians 3:18-19, he argues that those who prioritize their stomachs and worldly desires over Christ are enemies of the Cross. True discipline, even in eating habits, requires repentance and ensuring that nothing becomes an object of worship or ultimate devotion.

Repentance Before Baptism - Charles Banna
Charles Banna · Nov 19, 2024 · 17m
The central message is that repentance must precede baptism, as baptism is not a ticket to heaven. The speaker emphasizes that repentance is a continuous process, citing biblical examples from Genesis, Matthew, and Revelation, and notes that Christian standards for sin are high, requiring the power of the Holy Spirit to live victoriously. True freedom from sin comes through understanding that God's grace is power, not a license to sin.

What Is Repentance? - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Nov 18, 2024 · 1m 57s
The Apostle Paul preached consistently on two main subjects: repentance toward God and faith in Jesus Christ. True repentance is not merely facing sin while keeping one eye on God; it requires a complete turn away from anything displeasing to God, like the military command 'about turn.'

Our Kingdom Is Not Of This World - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Sep 3, 2024 · 1h 2m
The speaker emphasizes that true Christian teaching must lead to a 'hygienic' spiritual life, meaning freedom from the 'germs' of sin, rather than merely focusing on impressive technology or eloquence. He warns against false doctrines, particularly those that teach that Christianity is a means to make money, arguing that such teachings are spiritually unclean. The core message is to prioritize genuine godliness and repentance over worldly gain or intellectual debate.

The Importance of Fellowship - Charles Banna
Charles Banna · Aug 27, 2024 · 45m
The speaker emphasizes that Christian fellowship is a deep communion, far exceeding mere worldly friendship. He outlines four types of fellowship, focusing heavily on the vertical fellowship—the relationship between man and God. He stresses that true fellowship requires walking in the light, confessing sins immediately, and actively pursuing a life of truth, as neglecting this daily commitment leads to spiritual darkness.

The Distinctives of The New Covenant Church - Charles Banna
Charles Banna · Aug 5, 2024 · 55m
The speaker emphasizes that Christian life requires continuous growth, drawing nourishment from God's infallible Word, not just accepting salvation. He critiques many churches for only preaching a partial gospel, neglecting the full scope of discipleship, which includes baptizing and diligently teaching others to observe all of Christ's commandments. Furthermore, he stresses that true salvation requires both belief and baptism, and that repentance must always precede faith.

Set Your Mind On God's Interest Not Man's - John Pereira
John Pereira · Jul 26, 2024 · 45m
The sermon emphasizes the critical difference between living according to human interests and living according to God's will. Drawing from passages like Matthew 16:23, the speaker argues that human nature is inherently self-confident and prone to sin, requiring believers to dethrone their own capacities through repentance. True life and wisdom come from dependence on God, not self-reliance.

Beware Of Cotton Candy Christianity - Charles Banna
Charles Banna · May 29, 2024 · 1h 0m
The speaker cautions against a watered-down understanding of Christianity, criticizing modern trends like the Prosperity Gospel and teachings that suggest 'name it and claim it.' He corrects the common misinterpretation of Romans 5:20, emphasizing that God's grace is not a license to sin. True Christian life requires genuine repentance and recognizing that inheritance in God's kingdom comes from being born again, not merely accepting Christ.

Zac Poonen · May 20, 2024 · 6m
The sermon uses the analogy of a video recording to illustrate that God will judge every person based on a perfect record of their entire life—thoughts, words, and secret motives. It emphasizes that external piety or good deeds cannot erase this record, as all have sinned. Salvation, therefore, is only possible through repentance and accepting the atoning sacrifice of Jesus Christ, whose death and resurrection provide the only means to have sins erased before God.

Growing In The Likeness Of Christ - Charles Banna
Charles Banna · May 10, 2024 · 54m
The sermon uses Genesis 1 to illustrate God's perfect creation, noting that humanity was created last, signifying man's dominion and ultimate purpose.

Questions And Answers by Sunil Poonen (Teens Meeting)
Sunil Poonen · Apr 25, 2024 · 1h 22m
The speaker addresses the feeling of having a 'dead conscience' regarding sin, assuring the listener that the desire to be saved proves God is already working in them. He encourages running back to the Lord, citing Isaiah 55, and emphasizes that God's pardon is abundant and never too late. The message concludes by distinguishing between God's non-condemning welcome (John 8) and the call to live differently moving forward.

Questions And Answers (Young Sisters' Meeting) - Annie Poonen
Annie Poonen · Mar 25, 2024 · 1h 25m
The speaker addresses the common question of how to be sure one is 'born again,' outlining a three-step process: A) Admit that all people are sinners (citing Romans 3:23); B) Believe that Jesus is the only answer to sin; and C) Confess sins to God. True assurance comes from the Holy Spirit, not from human declaration, and is confirmed by a desire to live faithfully and a hunger for God's Word.

Realizing Our True Purpose | 3. OUR RESPONSE TO GOD | ದೇವರಿಗೆ ನಮ್ಮ ಪ್ರತಿಕ್ರಿಯೆ | Santosh Poonen
Santosh Poonen · Mar 15, 2024 · 19m
The core message is that while God has provided the solution to sin through Jesus, receiving that salvation requires a conscious response from the individual. This response involves three key actions: honestly admitting sin and the need for salvation, repenting by deciding to turn away from sin toward Jesus, and having faith by believing in and accepting Christ's saving work. True transformation comes from God replacing our 'stony heart' with a new, clean heart through the Holy Spirit.

God Who Separates Light From Darkness - Charles Banna
Charles Banna · Mar 7, 2024 · 56m
The sermon emphasizes that God is pure light, and His nature is to separate light from darkness, mirroring the first act of creation. This separation is applied to our lives, where the Holy Spirit's conviction of sin dispels darkness, allowing the light of Christ to dwell within believers. Therefore, Christians are called to live as children of light, separated from the world's darkness through repentance and the indwelling Spirit.

Forgiveness And Fellowship - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Feb 6, 2024 · 1h 0m
The central message, drawn from 1 John chapter 1, is that the purpose of the gospel is not merely forgiveness, but achieving full fellowship with God the Father and Jesus Christ, which extends to fellowship with one another. This constant fellowship is maintained by understanding that God is light, requiring believers to immediately confess any sin or 'darkness' to be cleansed by the blood of Jesus. Living in the light through confession is the path to a life of constant joy.

The speaker recounts his personal journey from taking the church for granted to experiencing profound spiritual awakening. After a shattering experience with a visa rejection, he was broken down by God's providence, leading him to surrender his life unconditionally to Jesus.

The speaker encourages the audience not to take the spiritual blessings and community of the church for granted, urging them to imitate the faith of those who have led them. He emphasizes that true spiritual light comes not from oneself, but from the Lord shining through. The core message is that even when one feels defeated by sin or discouraged, God will not let the flame go out; instead, He promises to reignite it through daily repentance and waiting expectantly for the Lord.

Elders Must Walk In Humility And Repentance - Zac Poonen (Tamil)
Zac Poonen · Nov 24, 2023 · 1h 28m
The speaker warns elders against the danger of pride and seeking personal honor, using Jeremiah's warning to Baruk as an example. He emphasizes that the greatest danger in Christian life is pride, and true service requires constantly seeking to be more like Christ, regardless of one's status. Furthermore, he stresses the vital need for current elders to train younger members, warning that failing to do so renders their accomplishments merely 'window dressing.'

Zac Poonen · Nov 23, 2023 · 1h 28m
The message warns elders against the danger of spiritual pride, cautioning that seeking personal honor or feeling uniquely chosen can lead to a fall.

Ian Robson · Nov 22, 2023 · 1h 0m
The sermon emphasizes the urgent need for believers to prepare the way for the Lord's return, drawing parallels from John the Baptist's call in the wilderness.

Realizing Our True Purpose | 1. Our Problem of Sin | ನಮ್ಮ ಪಾಪದ ಸಮಸ್ಯೆ | Santosh Poonen | Kannada
Santosh Poonen · Nov 22, 2023 · 18m
The core message is that human life on Earth is merely preparation for eternity, which is the ultimate 'job' or exam. God created humanity in His image so we could share in His nature, but sin—defined as choosing our own way over God's—broke this fellowship. Since all have sinned, we are all guilty, and the punishment is separation from God, making understanding this sinfulness crucial before hearing the good news.
