Make Your Children Disciples - Zac Poonen

Zac Poonen · Sep 12, 2017 · 14m

The central message is that parents must actively raise their children to be true disciples of Jesus Christ, emphasizing that this commitment must be more valued than worldly achievements like education or wealth. The speaker stresses that children learn far more from what they *see* their parents doing—such as reading the Bible daily—than from what they are merely taught. True discipleship requires a deep, visible longing for one's children to follow Christ, not just to go through rituals.

Building The Body Of Christ - Newton

CFC Messages · Sep 12, 2017 · 53m

The central message is that the Church is not a physical building but the Body of Christ, built by Jesus. To build this body, members must present themselves as living sacrifices, be transformed by the renewing of the mind to think like Christ, and function in love. Every member, regardless of visible gifts, is essential for the body to work in unity and love.

20.Holiness Of Jesus - Zac Poonen

Zac Poonen · Aug 16, 2017 · 25m

The sermon emphasizes that while much Christian teaching focuses on Jesus as a savior, it often neglects His life as a perfect example of character. True discipleship, according to the New Testament, means transforming one's character to be like Christ—living with humility, purity, and love—rather than focusing solely on social or political action. The speaker contrasts the attainable holiness of Christ, which was perfect and sinless, with the ongoing struggle against temptation, clarifying that sin only occurs when one agrees with a temptation, not when it merely flashes through the mind.

19.Likeness To Christ - Zac Poonen

Zac Poonen · Aug 16, 2017 · 24m

The sermon emphasizes that Jesus' purpose was not just atonement but also to be our example by emptying himself and taking the form of a servant, connecting heaven and earth. True discipleship requires adopting the mind and attitude of Christ, which is facilitated by the indwelling Holy Spirit. This transformation means changing one's value system to view people, possessions, and circumstances with Christ's purity and generosity.

18.The Humanity Of Jesus - Zac Poonen

Zac Poonen · Aug 16, 2017 · 25m

The central message is that true understanding and transformation come not from merely studying the written word (the letter of the law), but from taking Jesus' yoke and learning from His life through the Holy Spirit. Jesus offers a gentle and easy yoke, contrasting it with the restrictive nature of the old covenant. To truly follow Christ, one must see the glory of Jesus in Scripture, allowing the Holy Spirit to progressively change one into His likeness.

15.Jesus Is Our Forerunner - Zac Poonen

Zac Poonen · Aug 7, 2017 · 28m

Jesus is presented as our Forerunner, meaning he ran the exact path we must follow in our faith journey. To be a true example, Jesus had to be 100% man, experiencing the same temptations and limitations as us, yet remaining sinless. This humanity is crucial because it allows us to follow his example in overcoming sin and temptation, as demonstrated by his miracle of walking on water.

Being Zealous For God And His House - Charles Banna

Charles Banna · Jul 25, 2017 · 40m

The sermon emphasizes the necessity of zeal for God, comparing lukewarm faith to the lukewarm coffee Jesus warned against. True zeal requires focus, wisdom, and a commitment to being actively engaged in God's work, like Nehemiah or Daniel. The speaker warns that those who are neither fully committed nor fully distant—the lukewarm—will be rejected, urging listeners to be either passionately devoted or to recognize their spiritual state.

God Uses Ordinary People To Build The Church - Charles Banna

Charles Banna · Jun 23, 2017 · 53m

The sermon draws from Hebrews 11 to show that God uses ordinary people to accomplish mighty things, citing examples like Sarah and Abraham. The speaker emphasizes that no one is too insignificant or far gone for God's power, referencing the revival of the dead bones in Ezekiel's vision. Ultimately, the message is that God's power works through unexpected and humble individuals, as seen in Paul's reliance on the encouragement of the junior brother Titus.

6) Building A Body And A Family - Zac Poonen

Zac Poonen · Jun 2, 2017 · 1h 16m

The central message emphasizes that true Christian life, beginning in the local church and home, requires more than just belief; it demands self-denial and sacrifice in relationships. Salvation is received through repentance—simply turning around to accept God's free gift—and faith, which is reaching out to take it. Furthermore, abiding in Christ means actively walking in the manner He walked, as taught by John in 1 John 2:6.

5) The Bride Standing With The LAMB - Zac Poonen

Zac Poonen · Jun 2, 2017 · 29m

The sermon interprets Revelation symbolically, contrasting the 'great multitude' (those washed in Christ's blood) with the 144,000. The key distinction for the 144,000 is that they are not only cleansed by Christ's blood but also bear the name of the Father and the Son on their foreheads, signifying an open, unashamed discipleship. This contrasts with those who might secretly follow Satan or those who are spiritually compromised by the world's desires.

3) Question and Answer (General) - Zac Poonen

Zac Poonen · Jun 2, 2017 · 1h 3m

The speaker discusses the importance of discernment, drawing parallels to Jesus's handling of questions and God's patience with people like Judas. When advising on marriage, he stresses that the spouse must prioritize a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, making Him the center of the relationship. He advises evaluating potential partners based on their spiritual depth, intellectual compatibility, and physical attraction, concluding that prayer and the resulting peace in the heart are key to discerning God's will.

2) Restoring Relationships With All People - Zac Poonen

Zac Poonen · Jun 2, 2017 · 1h 10m

The central message is that the local church must strive to be a pure bride of Christ, which requires a heart focused on Christ's love rather than mere knowledge or analysis. The speaker emphasizes that true spiritual life is found in desiring to be like Christ, which is marked by a fervent love for God and others, especially those who oppose us. He cautions against focusing on minor doctrinal points and instead directs attention to the heart of God revealed in scripture.

1) The Preparation To Be The Bride of Christ - Zac Poonen

Zac Poonen · Jun 2, 2017 · 1h 10m

The central message is the necessity of maintaining a permanent, abiding dwelling place in Christ to be ready for His return as His pure bride. The speaker warns against subtle backsliding—such as pride or selfishness—and emphasizes that true assurance comes not from past decisions, but from actively purifying oneself daily, mirroring Christ's purity. This deep, heart-level relationship is the proof of having the hope of being like Christ at His coming.

Power Of Encouragement - Newton

CFC Messages · May 19, 2017 · 56m

The central message is the vital necessity of mutual encouragement, drawing heavily from scripture passages like Hebrews 3:13 and 1 Thessalonians 5:11. The speaker emphasizes that encouragement is a command for everyone—not just the preacher—and is crucial for maintaining hope, especially during times of temptation, discouragement, and life's difficulties. He applies this principle to various life areas, including marriage, parenting, and even for church leaders.

Three Divine Principles for A Happy Marriage - Zac Poonen

Zac Poonen · May 18, 2017 · 32m

The speaker argues that the key to a happy marriage is centering one's life on God, mirroring God's original intention for Adam and Eve. He contrasts self-reliance (choosing the 'knowledge of good and evil') with continuous dependence on God (the 'tree of life'). Furthermore, he advises that both spouses must accept each other's imperfections, as perfection belongs only to Jesus Christ.

Our Destination Is Christlikeness - Zac Poonen

Zac Poonen · May 17, 2017 · 1h 9m

The Christian life is not a single event but a continuous journey with a defined destination. The true destination, according to scripture, is not a physical place like heaven, but spiritual transformation: becoming conformed to the image of Christ. This destination is predestined by God, meaning He knew it before time began. Therefore, the Christian life requires actively pursuing Christlikeness through repentance and following God's intended path.

Making Our Children Warriors - Zac Poonen

Zac Poonen · Apr 27, 2017 · 21m

The central message is that parents must actively raise their children to be warriors for God, viewing them as gifts from the Lord. Drawing parallels to Psalm 127, the speaker emphasizes that children must be sharpened early in life—ideally starting in infancy—to fight the enemy, rather than remaining neutral. This preparation requires more than just education or baptism; it demands consistent spiritual training to counter the inherent 'foolishness' in a child's heart.

Valuing One Another In The Body - Zac Poonen

Zac Poonen · Apr 25, 2017 · 38m

The sermon emphasizes that the Christian body is one, composed of many diverse members, and every gift is necessary. It warns against both inferiority complexes, where members feel useless, and superiority complexes, where members feel indispensable. The speaker encourages recognizing that every contribution, no matter how small—from teaching to simple acts of help—is vital to the body's function.
