Be Righteous With Money - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Apr 23, 2018 · 1h 24m
The central message is that true Christianity requires a passionate desire to live life exactly as Jesus lived, which involves continuous spiritual progress rather than just claiming membership. The speaker emphasizes that transformation comes from renewing the mind to adopt God's viewpoint on areas like money, sex, and honor, rather than conforming to the world's standards. This pursuit is a lifelong process of pressing on toward Christlikeness, which requires self-denial and taking up the cross.

Zac Poonen · Mar 19, 2018 · 6m

Jesus Should Be The Glory In Our Lives - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Feb 5, 2018 · 51m

Five Marks Of Spiritual Growth - Sunil Poonen
Sunil Poonen · Jan 3, 2018 · 54m
The speaker outlines five marks of spiritual growth, emphasizing that a true relationship with God must be constant, not just something used during difficult times.

Zac Poonen · Dec 18, 2017 · 1h 14m
The central message is that true Christian living requires adopting the inner attitude of Christ, rather than merely imitating his external actions.
