Preserving The Standard of Jesus and The Apostles - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jan 22, 2015 · 1h 4m
The speaker emphasizes that the primary focus of the church should be on maintaining purity and quality of its members, rather than merely increasing in numbers. He draws from scripture to argue that while evangelism is important, the internal work of discipleship and guarding against corruption (the 'leaven') is paramount. True Christian living, according to him, is demonstrated by a consistent, godly life throughout the entire week, not just on Sunday.

Obedience Is Better Than Sacrifice - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jan 20, 2015 · 49m
The central message is that obedience to God's commandments is superior to any act of sacrifice. The speaker uses examples from Scripture, such as King Saul and the contrast between Martha's service and Mary's listening, to illustrate that outward acts of piety or sacrifice are meaningless without genuine obedience. Ultimately, true understanding of what pleases the Lord comes only from diligent study of the Bible, as exemplified by Jesus Christ.

Zac Poonen · Jan 19, 2015 · 56m
The speaker emphasizes that while the outer body is naturally decaying, the believer's inner man must be actively renewed daily to become more Christlike. He draws parallels between the slow, steady rising of the sun and the believer's walk, urging listeners to avoid the path of the wicked and instead focus on the quality of their faith and faithfulness to Jesus, regardless of longevity. The core message is to strive for daily spiritual growth and obedience to God's law.

All That Jesus Taught (Bible Study – 15 of 80) - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jan 15, 2015 · 25m
The central message is that true righteousness required for entering the Kingdom of Heaven must surpass the standards of the Pharisees, which relates to internal quality rather than external observance or quantity. The speaker cautions against lowering God's standards to one's own level and emphasizes that true discipleship is marked by the quality of love and life, not by visible achievements, numbers, or adherence to mere doctrine. The sermon stresses that genuine righteousness must address the inner life, as external piety alone is insufficient for salvation.

All That Jesus Taught (Bible Study – 14 of 80) - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jan 14, 2015 · 25m
The sermon interprets Jesus' teaching, 'You are the salt of the earth,' to mean that true disciples must retain the 'taste of Heaven' in their lives. This taste is characterized by bringing life, joy, and peace, contrasting sharply with the world's focus on earthly matters. The speaker emphasizes that the effectiveness of disciples is not measured by quantity but by the quality and radical commitment of a few, citing biblical examples like the need for just one righteous person to save a city.

Zac Poonen · Jan 14, 2015 · 25m
Jesus taught that peacemakers are blessed because they are called sons of God. The sermon emphasizes that maintaining peace requires actively avoiding grumbling, complaining, and disputing in all aspects of life. The speaker advises that when faced with conflict, one must prioritize pursuing peace by being willing to die to self and one's own rights, even if it means sacrificing deeper fellowship.

All That Jesus Taught (Bible Study – 12 of 80) - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jan 14, 2015 · 26m
The speaker emphasizes that fulfilling the Great Commission requires understanding everything Jesus taught, particularly the attitudes outlined in the Sermon on the Mount. He contrasts worldly desires (like self-confidence and wealth) with the spiritual virtues Jesus praises, such as being poor in spirit, mourning sin, and hunger for righteousness. True discipleship requires a desperate, all-consuming desire for God's will, not just a convenient adherence to rules.

Who Can Build God’s House? - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jan 13, 2015 · 4m 56s
The speaker uses the historical example of Solomon building the Temple on Mount Morah to illustrate a spiritual principle. He emphasizes that the location chosen for God's house was significant because it was the place where Abraham offered Isaac and where David offered sacrifices. The central message is that one must never offer God anything that costs nothing; true devotion requires sacrifice, whether it costs money, health, or inconvenience.

A Fragrant Offering and Sacrifice to God - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jan 13, 2015 · 7m
The message uses Mary's costly anointing of Jesus' feet to illustrate that the greatest sacrifice is giving one's body, eyes, and tongue to God. The speaker emphasizes making sacrifices and serving the Lord when the opportunity arises, as chances may pass. True spiritual impact comes from making sacrifices in secret, which God will repay openly, allowing the aroma of Christ to emanate from one's life and home.

Brokenness And Fulness Of Faith - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jan 8, 2015 · 37m
The central message is that building the church must follow God's pattern exactly, as exemplified by the construction of the Tabernacle. The speaker uses examples from scripture, such as David's life and the Ark of the Covenant, to warn against adopting worldly methods, even if they seem more efficient. He concludes that when human methods or the influence of money (Mammon) replace God's ordained way, the glory of God cannot be experienced in the church.

Suffering and The Kingdom of God - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jan 6, 2015 · 49m
The central message is that entering the Kingdom of God is intrinsically linked to suffering and faithfulness, not earthly prosperity. The speaker contrasts the modern 'health and wealth gospel' with the New Testament teaching, citing the apostles' willingness to suffer and die rather than compromise their faith. True discipleship requires embracing tribulation, as the apostles exemplified, rather than expecting comfort or worldly success.

Zac Poonen · Jan 5, 2015 · 25m
The speaker continues the study of what Jesus taught, focusing on the Sermon on the Mount from Matthew 5-7. He emphasizes that these teachings were primarily for disciples, not just the masses, and that true disciples take them seriously. The session begins by defining 'poor in spirit' as someone who is constantly aware of their spiritual need, comparing this need to a beggar's daily physical need, and noting that such a person is the one who finds life and possesses the Kingdom of Heaven.

All That Jesus Taught (Bible Study – 10 of 80) - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jan 5, 2015 · 26m
The speaker reviews Jesus' teachings, emphasizing that the Great Commission is to make disciples and teach them, not to replicate Jesus' miraculous healing ministry. He clarifies that Jesus' healings were divine attestations of His identity as the Son of God, not a repeatable command for all believers. While signs like healing will accompany believers (Mark 16), the primary focus remains on preaching the gospel and making disciples, adhering strictly to the specific instructions given in Matthew 28 and Matthew 10.

All That Jesus Taught (Bible Study – 9 of 80) - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jan 5, 2015 · 25m
The central message is that true discipleship requires making people followers of Christ first, rather than simply teaching them doctrine.

Ultimately, this means leading people from the 'water' of the world into the 'land' of the Kingdom of Heaven.
