Zac Poonen · Mar 8, 2017 · 1h 27m

The core difference lies in the spiritual life and mission that binds the members together.

Without Christ We Can Do Nothing - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Mar 3, 2017 · 57m

He stresses that the purpose of church attendance is not just to be strengthened, but to actively serve and help others know Jesus. Ultimately, he defines eternal life not as longevity, but as knowing the only true God and Jesus Christ.

A Life That Pleases God - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Feb 24, 2017 · 1h 13m
The speaker emphasizes that the driving force behind a godly life, exemplified by Paul, is the ambition to please God, whether on earth or in heaven. He contrasts this with other worldly ambitions, noting that the ultimate goal should remain consistent. The speaker draws a distinction between the judgment seat of Christ (for believers' rewards) and the Great White Throne judgment (for all humanity's deeds).

Our Birthright As Believers - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jan 31, 2017 · 58m
The speaker emphasizes that believers must actively put on virtues like compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience, starting with their immediate relationships. A key test of spiritual maturity is being thankful for one another, which prepares the heart to receive God's word. Furthermore, he urges the congregation to move beyond elementary teachings, recognizing that true maturity involves repenting not just from sin, but also from the belief that one's own good works can earn acceptance from God.

All Our Children Belong To The Lord - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jan 30, 2017 · 7m
The speaker discusses the concept of dedicating children to the Lord, drawing parallels from Old Testament laws like the dedication of firstborn males. He emphasizes that while the New Covenant completes what was partial in the Old, the principle remains: all life belongs to the Lord. Parents have a responsibility to teach their children that they do not belong to themselves but are gifts from God, who saved them through Christ.

CFC Messages · Jan 23, 2017 · 44m
The speaker recounts his journey from the Roman Catholic background to embracing the truth found in the Bible, emphasizing the need for internal cleansing over mere external observance. He was deeply impacted by teachings on judging secret motives and the importance of discipleship, witnessing firsthand the unity, humility, and selfless love within the Pentecostal church community. This experience inspired him to long for and eventually help establish a pure, Christ-centered church in his own locality.

A Word To Shepherds And Sisters - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jan 19, 2017 · 17m
The speaker emphasizes that true Christian service, whether for shepherds or sisters, must reflect God's heart—a heart of giving, not selling. He stresses that genuine ministry and devotion are not tied to affiliations or rituals but must be rooted in selfless love, exemplified by Jesus' willingness to travel great distances for one person. For sisters, the message is to focus on internal adornment and living a life that is profitable and edifying for God's glory, rather than conforming to external standards or legalism.

Casting Away All Confidence In Self - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jan 11, 2017 · 1h 17m
The speaker argues that while the Old Covenant was fulfilled in Christ, understanding the Old Testament is crucial for grasping the New Testament. He emphasizes that the greatest barrier to experiencing God's presence is not merely overcoming specific sins like anger or dirty thoughts, but conquering one's inherent self-will, which is symbolized by the veil. True victory comes from denying one's self-will daily, allowing God to enter deeply into the heart.

God Centred Praying - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Dec 12, 2016 · 28m
The speaker encourages listeners to evaluate their spiritual progress annually, comparing it to the Earth's yearly orbit. He emphasizes that true spiritual growth is found in deep fellowship and following Christ's example, rather than focusing on material achievements like buildings or finances. A core teaching point is that all prayer must be founded on two truths: believing in a loving Heavenly Father and acknowledging that this Father is in heaven and all-powerful, concluding with the submission found in praying, "not as I will, but as Thou wilt."

All That Jesus Taught (Bible Study – 17 of 80) - Zac Poonen (with Romanian Subtitles)
Zac Poonen · Dec 12, 2016 · 25m
The speaker emphasizes that Christians often misunderstand Jesus' teachings, focusing only on forgiveness rather than true salvation from sin. He uses the examples of anger and lust to show that merely confessing and being forgiven is not the same as being saved from the pattern of sin. True discipleship requires understanding that Jesus' name means 'Savior,' meaning deliverance from sin, not just pardon for it.

All That Jesus Taught (Bible Study – 16 of 80) - Zac Poonen (with Romanian Subtitles)
Zac Poonen · Dec 12, 2016 · 25m
The sermon explores the teachings of Jesus, focusing on the Great Commission and the nature of anger. The speaker distinguishes between sinful anger and righteous anger, using examples from Jesus' life—such as His anger against money changers and religious hypocrisy—to illustrate when anger is appropriate. Conversely, he notes that Jesus remained unbothered when insulted or falsely accused, teaching that true discipleship involves forgiveness and not harboring bitterness.

All That Jesus Taught (Bible Study – 15 of 80) - Zac Poonen (with Romanian Subtitles)
Zac Poonen · Dec 12, 2016 · 25m
The sermon emphasizes that true righteousness required to enter the kingdom of heaven must surpass the standards of the Pharisees, focusing on internal quality rather than external observance or mere quantity of religious activity. The speaker warns against lowering God's standards to one's own carnal level, stressing that genuine discipleship is marked by the quality of love and devotion, not by visible achievements or adherence to rigid rules. Ultimately, true righteousness involves a deep, internal transformation that goes beyond outward piety.

All That Jesus Taught (Bible Study – 14 of 80) - Zac Poonen (with Romanian Subtitles)
Zac Poonen · Dec 12, 2016 · 25m
The sermon explores Jesus' teaching that disciples are the 'salt of the earth,' emphasizing that their value lies not in quantity but in the quality of their lives—specifically, retaining the 'taste of heaven.' True disciples bring life, joy, and peace, contrasting sharply with the world's focus on earthly matters. The message stresses that God's work is accomplished through wholehearted individuals, even when the numbers are small.

Fellowship With Christ and His Body - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Sep 14, 2016 · 28m
The sermon emphasizes that true Christian fellowship requires both a vertical relationship with Jesus and a horizontal commitment to the body of Christ. Treating the church like a mere restaurant, where one only consumes without contributing, is insufficient; believers must actively serve like members of a family. God values willingness to serve according to one's current ability, as demonstrated by the unity found in sharing in the fellowship of Christ's body.

God Has a Plan for Our Children - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Sep 6, 2016 · 12m
The sermon emphasizes that life, like all earthly things, is corruptible unless kept in God's presence. Drawing from Psalm 139, the speaker highlights that God knows and plans for us even before birth, emphasizing that life's duration is determined by God's will, not by human actions alone. The core message for parenting is to teach children the values of God's Word, such as prayer, gratitude, and treating others as they wish to be treated, while also understanding the full Gospel: that Christ died not only for our sins but also so that we should live only for Him.

NO FEAR IN LOVE | 9.Husband And Wife – Like Christ And The Church | Zac Poonen | Tamil
Zac Poonen · Aug 23, 2016 · 58m
The speaker argues that the true strength of the church lies not in large gatherings, loud praise, or visible activities, but in the private, hidden life of its members, particularly within their families. He emphasizes that a strong church is built on the foundation of loving and humble marriages and family life. The speaker concludes by urging believers to focus on this unseen, internal life, as God rewards what is done in secret.

NO FEAR IN LOVE | 8. A Heavenly Father Who Disciplines Us | Zac Poonen | Tamil
Zac Poonen · Aug 23, 2016 · 57m
The speaker encourages the congregation to value and respect the new generation of believers God is raising up. He emphasizes that believers should study the Word of God and seek the anointing of the Holy Spirit, rather than relying on self-assessment. The central message is that the full truth, like a jigsaw puzzle, is found in the Bible, and preachers must ensure that everything written in Scripture is preached, not just what is convenient or popular.

NO FEAR IN LOVE | 6. Bringing Up Our Children For God | Zac Poonen | Tamil
Zac Poonen · Aug 23, 2016 · 20m
The central message emphasizes that parents, especially fathers, have the primary responsibility to diligently teach their children the principles of God's word throughout their daily lives. This teaching must be constant, covering all times—waking, sleeping, walking, and sitting—to ensure the children value God's word. Neglecting this duty allows the devil to sow bad seeds, leading to a poor harvest in the children's lives.

NO FEAR IN LOVE | 5.Following Jesus As A Young Person | Zac Poonen | Tamil
Zac Poonen · Aug 23, 2016 · 53m
The central message is that bearing the yoke of Jesus, especially in youth, is vital for fulfilling God's plan, even if it involves suffering and difficulty. Believers must learn from Jesus' example by remaining humble, accepting circumstances without complaint, and trusting that God has a purpose for their lives. Complaining or resisting the yoke prevents God from fulfilling the intended ministry.

NO FEAR IN LOVE | 4.Our Responsibility Towards Others | Zac Poonen | Tamil
Zac Poonen · Aug 23, 2016 · 56m
The speaker emphasizes that a core message often overlooked by preachers is understanding God as a loving Father. He draws heavily from Jesus' teachings, noting that Jesus frequently spoke about the Father to his disciples. The talk stresses that believers should pray directly to their Father for the Holy Spirit, rather than treating it like an application to a distant authority. Ultimately, the speaker urges listeners to study the Gospels to learn how Jesus taught about the Father and to focus on revealing God's nature as a loving Father to others.
