Most Believers Have Missed The New Covenant | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jun 24, 2020 · 1h 16m
The speaker argues that the New Covenant gospel is fundamentally different from the Old Covenant understanding, moving beyond mere forgiveness of sins to the saving power of Christ's life manifested in flesh. He warns that the enemy blinds both unbelievers and even believers, leading some to misunderstand salvation as merely forgiveness rather than complete deliverance. True discipleship requires loving the truth found in Scripture and desiring salvation from sin, which is exemplified by Jesus saving people from sin, not just forgiving them.

The speaker addresses common struggles, starting with discomfort when sharing responsibility, attributing it to a desire for sole glory and the loss of personal control. He emphasizes that true spiritual growth requires acknowledging sin and yielding to others, citing marriage as a major catalyst for discovering selfishness. The discussion also covers sexual temptation, explaining that God allows this urge early to teach self-mastery through active resistance, and concludes by urging believers to live every action, even eating and drinking, for the glory of God.

Zac Poonen · Jun 23, 2020 · 56m
The sermon centers on the calling of fathers to reflect the character of God the Father in their lives, drawing parallels between Jesus' ministry and the ideal fatherhood. The speaker emphasizes that true fatherhood requires humility, acknowledging one's own shortcomings compared to God's perfection, and actively seeking the Holy Spirit's filling to live a life of service and grace. This modeling of God's character is the primary way fathers can guide their children toward a right relationship with God.

The Way To Growth In Christlikeness | Part-5 | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jun 23, 2020 · 56m
The sermon emphasizes that true growth in Christlikeness requires moving beyond merely following external commandments, which is insufficient, as it was for the Pharisees. True righteousness must come from the inner life—thoughts, attitudes, and motives—which only God can see. The speaker uses the example of anger, arguing that true obedience means addressing the root of anger in the heart, not just controlling outward expressions of it.

Zac Poonen · Jun 23, 2020 · 55m
The speaker cautions against being deceived by false prophets who claim to predict future events, emphasizing that believers should rely solely on God's Word.

The speaker cautions against taking passages like Ephesians 5 as a sole model, pointing instead to Christ's perfect submission to the Father as the ultimate example.

Entering Into The Rest Of God's Perfect Love | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jun 22, 2020 · 56m
The sermon emphasizes that while we should not fear God's provision, we must actively fear sin, particularly harboring unloving thoughts or bitterness against others. True rest comes from a clear conscience, which means confessing all known sin to the Lord. The ultimate standard for sin is anything that comes short of the glory of God, which is defined by the law of love, meaning anything contrary to God's love.

Zac Poonen · Jun 22, 2020 · 59m
The speaker urges listeners to redeem the time by making the most of their days, emphasizing that this involves more than just Bible study.

He warns that pride is the primary reason for falling out of grace and advises asking oneself where one acted out of pride.

The Humility Of The Exemplary Man | Act Like Men And Be Strong | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jun 18, 2020 · 56m
The central message is that true manhood and discipleship are modeled after Jesus Christ, not worldly standards. Following Christ means looking to Him as the author and finisher of our faith, which requires daily endurance of the cross and accepting the reproach associated with being a true witness for Christ. The speaker emphasizes that the 'better thing' God provided is following Jesus' example, which is superior to the miracles of the Old Covenant.

Hidden Mysteries That God Wants To Reveal To Us | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jun 17, 2020 · 46m
The speaker discusses Jesus' use of parables, noting that while many people, even intelligent ones, struggle to grasp the profound truths of the New Covenant, the disciples understood them. He emphasizes that understanding these mysteries requires humility, comparing it to the childlike state, rather than intellectual cleverness. True humility is recognizing oneself as nothing before God, which is what allowed the early disciples to see Christ despite the opposition from the educated Pharisees.

Building The Church As A Home For The Lonely | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jun 17, 2020 · 47m

Drawing from Psalm 68, the speaker highlights that God is the Father of the fatherless, providing security and care.

Being Servants of Christ's Body | A Word to Elders | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jun 17, 2020 · 1h 6m
The central message emphasizes that Christians are called to be perfect, specifically by loving enemies and praying for persecutors, as commanded by Jesus. This requires a conscious, willful choice to forgive others, even when it is difficult, because unforgiveness hinders spiritual life and hearing God's word. The speaker stresses that true righteousness is done privately, not for public recognition.

Living Without Fear when Facing Trials | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jun 17, 2020 · 22m
The sermon emphasizes that true faith requires living without fear, drawing parallels between the early Christians facing persecution and modern anxieties like health scares. The core message is that discipleship demands a radical commitment to Christ, even if it means opposing one's own family, as Jesus taught that following Him can bring a 'sword' that divides relationships. Ultimately, one must prioritize following God's will above all earthly relationships or comforts.

Zac Poonen · Jun 10, 2020 · 25m
Jesus taught that God withholds profound spiritual truths from the clever and intelligent, revealing them instead to the humble. The speaker explains that the obstacle is not intelligence itself, but the pride that arises from comparing oneself to others, whether in knowledge or wealth.

Zac Poonen · Jun 10, 2020 · 25m
The sermon discusses the prophecy of Elijah's return before the Second Coming of Christ, emphasizing that this ministry will focus on restoring relationships within families and the church.

The Way To Growth In Christlikeness | Part-1 | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jun 9, 2020 · 49m
Spiritual growth in the New Covenant is characterized by a progressive hope of becoming like Jesus, which requires constant self-examination. The sermon defines sin not just as breaking a law or failing to do what is known to be right, but fundamentally as coming short of the glory and standard of Christ's life. True growth demands living by this high standard, even when it means sacrificing worldly gains or compromising in relationships.
