Discipleship And The New Covenant - Zac Poonen (15 July 2012)

Zac Poonen · Jul 25, 2012 · 1h 5m

The speaker emphasizes that the Great Commission requires two parts: preaching the gospel (Mark 16:15) and making disciples (Matthew 28:19-20). True discipleship involves more than just accepting Christ; it requires loving Jesus above all else, denying oneself daily, and prioritizing Christ over possessions. Furthermore, disciples must be taught to live by every command of Christ, including loving enemies and practicing radical obedience, rather than just hearing about salvation.

02.Free Will And Conscience - Zac Poonen (With Tamil Translation)

Zac Poonen · Jun 24, 2012 · 26m

The passage explores the necessity of free will and conscience, arguing that these attributes are what give life true value, unlike programmed obedience. God desired beings capable of voluntary love and choice, even at the risk of disobedience, which is why He granted humanity free will and conscience. These capacities allow for genuine relationship, contrasting sharply with the perfect but unfeeling obedience of machines or planets.

09.How Man Fell Into Sin - Zac Poonen (With Tamil Translation)

Zac Poonen · Jun 24, 2012 · 27m

The sermon examines Genesis 3 to illustrate how sin entered the world, focusing on the dangers of human cleverness and questioning God's word. The speaker warns against both diminishing God's word and adding to it, cautioning that such actions lead to legalism. A major theme is identifying the devil's primary lie—that sin will not result in punishment—and urging listeners to adhere strictly to the Bible's truth regarding judgment.

10.God's Provision For Man's Failure - Zac Poonen (With Tamil Translation)

Zac Poonen · Jun 24, 2012 · 26m

The sermon analyzes the initial temptation in Genesis chapter 3, drawing parallels between Adam and Eve's sin and modern human tendencies to justify oneself. The speaker emphasizes that God's response to sin is always merciful, first offering a solution (the promise of Christ) before rebuking. Furthermore, the fig leaves symbolize human righteousness, which must be discarded, while the garments of skin represent Christ's atoning sacrifice and righteousness covering us.

14.Keeping The Tenth Commandment - Zac Poonen (With Tamil Translation)

Zac Poonen · Jun 24, 2012 · 26m

The sermon reviews the Ten Commandments, noting the first four relate to God (no other gods, no idols, no taking God's name in vain), and the next six relate to human relationships (honoring parents, no murder, no adultery, no stealing, no false witness). The speaker emphasizes that the tenth commandment, which forbids coveting, is internal and impossible to keep perfectly. He uses the rich young ruler and Paul's examples to show that true righteousness requires acknowledging one's inability to keep the law perfectly and relying on God's grace.

Zac Poonen · Jun 24, 2012 · 27m

He argues that only Jesus Christ, who came from eternity, died, and resurrected, can speak authoritatively on matters of heaven and hell. The passage concludes by quoting John 5, detailing the two resurrections—one to life and one to judgment—and stressing that all believers must stand before the judgment seat of Christ to give an account for their deeds.

Zac Poonen · Jun 24, 2012 · 26m

The speaker asserts that all human problems stem from a broken connection with God, emphasizing that God is the ultimate source of life. He argues that evil does not originate from teaching or nature, but rather that God's power is supreme, suggesting that the Bible reveals how to partake in God's eternal life rather than just teaching religious doctrine. The core message is that understanding the origin of evil requires recognizing God's perfect nature, as the Bible affirms God is pure love.

23.Renewal Through God's Word - Zac Poonen (With Tamil Translation)

Zac Poonen · Jun 24, 2012 · 27m

The central message is that true spiritual growth requires continuous renewal through God's Word and the Holy Spirit, not just receiving correct information. Just as God created the world through a process of divine word and Spirit's action, believers must respond daily to the Word to be transformed into God's image. This renewal is a constant process, as stagnation or complacency leads to spiritual decline, requiring daily repentance and effort.

31.Jesus Is Our Forerunner - Zac Poonen (With Tamil Translation)

Zac Poonen · Jun 24, 2012 · 26m

Jesus is presented as the 'Forerunner' who paved the way for believers to follow God's will. He demonstrated how to live as God originally intended by emptying himself of divine resources while remaining fully God. This example proves that believers can live a life of obedience, leading to the realization that following Christ is possible and exciting, not discouraging.

36.The Terms Of The New Covenant - Zac Poonen (With Tamil Translation)

Zac Poonen · Jun 24, 2012 · 27m

The speaker contrasts the Old Covenant with the New Covenant, arguing that most believers still operate under the limitations of the former. The Old Covenant was flawed because it required perfect adherence to laws, which humanity could never keep. The New Covenant, established by God, is characterized not by commandments but by promises, promising that God will write His laws directly onto the hearts of believers, ensuring forgiveness and a relationship based on God's grace.

38.Faith Claims God's Promises - Zac Poonen (With Tamil Translation)

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. The speaker emphasizes that murmuring, complaining, or criticizing others builds a 'throne for Satan,' whereas praise builds a throne for God. True faith means believing God's promises are already accomplished, not waiting for circumstances to prove them.

52.The Fear Of God - Zac Poonen (With Tamil Translation)

Zac Poonen · Jun 24, 2012 · 27m

The core message is that the true 'fear of God' is not the fear of punishment, but rather a deep reverence that leads one to desire to please God and live righteously. This reverence is foundational to wisdom and is necessary for perfecting holiness, as evidenced by passages in both the Old and New Testaments. When this fear is absent, people are prone to sin, deceit, and living without moral restraint.

54.Joseph's Example - Zac Poonen (With Tamil Translation)

Zac Poonen · Jun 24, 2012 · 27m

This session, titled 'Joseph's Example,' is part of a larger series covering various aspects of Christian living, from the nature of sin to practical guidance. The structure suggests a deep dive into biblical principles, using figures like Joseph to illustrate how believers can live lives of integrity and faithfulness in all areas of life.

59.Finding God's Perfect Will - Zac Poonen (With Tamil Translation)

Zac Poonen · Jun 24, 2012 · 27m

Understanding God's will requires more than just knowledge; it demands a transformation of the mind to think like God. This process involves being filled with the Holy Spirit and renewing one's mind through Scripture, moving away from worldly values. Ultimately, finding God's will means trusting Him completely with all aspects of life, rather than selectively seeking guidance in only certain areas.
