New Year 2015 Message:- Jesus Pleased The Father By His Humility - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Dec 30, 2014 · 1h 0m
The central message is that the ultimate ambition for a Christian life, whether on Earth or in heaven, must be to please God. The speaker emphasizes that this ambition should remain consistent, meaning one's life direction should not change drastically upon entering heaven. He cautions against merely attending services or feeling moved by sermons, stressing that true pleasing of God comes from daily decisions and how one lives in all areas of life, including work and family.

All That Jesus Taught (Bible Study – 8 of 80) - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Dec 29, 2014 · 25m
The speaker emphasizes that fulfilling the Great Commission requires teaching every single thing Jesus commanded, not just basic conversion. He draws heavily on Jesus' example of emptying himself of divine privileges—such as immunity to temptation or fatigue—to become fully relatable to humanity. This self-emptying was necessary so that when Jesus commanded us to 'follow me,' it was an example we could realistically emulate, making Him a relatable High Priest who sympathizes with our struggles.

All That Jesus Taught (Bible Study – 7 of 80) - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Dec 27, 2014 · 26m
The central message is that Christians must diligently teach all that Jesus commanded, which is currently lacking in much of modern Christianity. The sermon emphasizes that the core message preached by John the Baptist, Jesus, and the Apostles was 'Repent,' which means a complete 'about turn' of the mind away from earthly pursuits toward the Kingdom of Heaven. This Kingdom is not material prosperity or physical healing, but rather the inward righteousness, peace, and joy provided by the Holy Spirit.

All That Jesus Taught (Bible Study – 6 of 80) - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Dec 27, 2014 · 26m
The sermon emphasizes that the Great Commission has two parts: making disciples and teaching them to obey everything Jesus commanded. The speaker uses the analogy of a carpenter shop to illustrate that focusing only on evangelism (making legs) without discipleship (making tables) leaves the work incomplete. He warns against serving both God and material wealth (Mammon) and stresses that the only one to worship and serve is the Lord Jesus Christ, cautioning against elevating any human leader to a mediating role between God and man.

All That Jesus Taught (Bible Study – 5 of 80) - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Dec 26, 2014 · 25m
The central message is that Christian teaching must be rooted in personal experience; one must 'do' what Jesus commanded before teaching others to do it. The speaker emphasizes that true discipleship requires lived obedience, warning against hypocrisy in preaching. He uses examples from the Great Commission, the Gospel of Luke, and the story of Cornelius to illustrate that we are only permitted to teach what we have personally experienced.

All That Jesus Taught (Bible Study – 4 of 80) - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Dec 26, 2014 · 25m
The sermon emphasizes that fulfilling the Great Commission requires equal attention to both evangelism (reaching the lost) and discipleship (teaching them to obey all that Jesus commanded). The speaker argues that while evangelism is exciting and measurable, discipleship—the process of making converts into functioning members of the body of Christ—is arguably more faithful and vital. He uses the analogy of food digestion to illustrate that initial conversion is insufficient; true transformation requires ongoing teaching and spiritual development.

All That Jesus Taught (Bible Study – 3 of 80) - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Dec 26, 2014 · 25m
The sermon emphasizes that making disciples requires teaching people to *do* everything Jesus commanded, not just knowing about it. The speaker draws a distinction between merely teaching knowledge and teaching practical obedience, using the example of swimming. He warns against selectively obeying commandments, citing Jesus' warning that canceling even the least commandment can result in being considered 'least in the Kingdom of Heaven.'

All That Jesus Taught (Bible Study – 2 of 80) - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Dec 26, 2014 · 25m
The speaker emphasizes that the Great Commission requires two parts: preaching the gospel and making disciples. True discipleship demands a total commitment to Christ, far beyond mere forgiveness or baptism. Baptism is only meaningful if the individual has first understood and accepted the absolute claims of discipleship—the willingness to die to one's own will. Furthermore, baptism must correctly acknowledge the Triune God: the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

All That Jesus Taught (Bible Study – 1 of 80) - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Dec 26, 2014 · 26m
The speaker contrasts two parts of the Great Commission: evangelism (Mark 16:15) and making disciples (Matthew 28:19). He argues that most Christians focus only on evangelism, neglecting the deeper call to discipleship. True discipleship requires two things: a supreme love for Christ that surpasses all earthly relationships, and the daily willingness to deny oneself and carry one's own cross, which means crucifying one's own self-will daily.

Knowing Jesus As Our Bridegroom - Sanjay Poonen & Zac Poonen
Sanjay Poonen · Dec 22, 2014 · 1h 11m
The speaker distinguishes between merely 'knowing about' Jesus and truly 'knowing' Jesus, emphasizing that true knowledge involves an intimacy akin to a marital bond. He uses scripture, particularly John 6, to illustrate that even among large crowds who knew facts about Jesus, only a select few possessed genuine, deep knowledge. The central message is a call to pursue this profound intimacy with Christ, which is described as the essence of eternal life.

Following in Jesus Footsteps - Zac Poonen (Tamil)
Zac Poonen · Dec 4, 2014 · 1h 3m
The speaker argues that Christians should not measure their faith by external miracles, like those performed in the Old Testament, but rather by living a life so Christ-centered that the devil has no place in it. Following Jesus means emulating His life—His ministry and character—rather than just mimicking His powerful works. True Christian service is demonstrated through endurance, hardship, and proclaiming the gospel despite suffering.

BUILDING THE BODY OF CHRIST: 6.Loving The Truth - Zac Poonen (Hindi)
Zac Poonen · Sep 3, 2014 · 57m
The central message emphasizes that true unity—whether in marriage, church, or personal life—is only possible when believers are filled with the Holy Spirit and adhere to God's Word. The speaker warns that people can be deceived by false teachings, the lure of money, or personal desires, as these things can make us think we are growing spiritually when we are not. True spiritual growth requires constant reliance on the Spirit and recognizing the truth over superficial appearances.

Zac Poonen · Sep 3, 2014 · 55m
The sermon emphasizes that true discipleship requires following Jesus Christ's example by living a life dedicated to service and doing good works, rather than merely performing miracles. The speaker draws from scripture to illustrate that believers should emulate Christ's selfless actions, such as showing kindness to enemies and healing those afflicted by Satan, focusing on character and service over mere ability. Ultimately, the message is to build the Kingdom of God through consistent, loving service in one's daily life.

BUILDING THE BODY OF CHRIST: 3.The First Body Of Christ - Zac Poonen (Hindi)
Zac Poonen · Sep 3, 2014 · 56m
The central message is that true preaching must be rooted in personal experience and authority, mirroring Jesus Christ's ministry. The speaker argues that merely knowing scripture or speaking eloquently is insufficient; one must first live out what they preach, as Jesus demonstrated by doing what he taught. He contrasts this with the current state of Christianity, where many preach without having lived the experience, leading to a disconnect between words and life.

BUILDING THE BODY OF CHRIST: 2.Jesus Is Our Example - Zac Poonen (Hindi)
Zac Poonen · Sep 3, 2014 · 57m
The central message is that the Church is called the Body of Christ because Jesus Christ was the first manifestation of God's glory on earth. The primary purpose of the Church is not merely to perform good works or preach, but to reveal what God is like, mirroring Christ's own life. Furthermore, the speaker warns against a misunderstanding of the Holy Spirit, emphasizing that true believers must be fully dedicated to holiness, as partial commitment allows sin and unholy influences to pollute the inner life.

The Attitude Christ Had - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Aug 27, 2014 · 57m
The central message is that true Christian living requires adopting the attitude of Christ, who emptied himself of divine equality to become helpless in human form. The speaker argues that this means living in complete dependence upon God, rather than relying on personal resources, influence, or even spiritual authority. Following Christ means embracing helplessness before God, mirroring how Jesus willingly surrendered his power.

Lay A Good Foundation In Your Youth - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Aug 27, 2014 · 1h 17m
The sermon uses the parable of the sower to teach that a strong Christian foundation must be built on deep meditation and genuine heart commitment, not just surface-level knowledge. The speaker emphasizes that superficial faith, like the seed on rocky soil or the seed choked by worries, is insufficient. Ultimately, the most crucial element for young people to develop is radical honesty before God, as pretense and hypocrisy are spiritually destructive.

Recognizing That We Are Nothing - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Aug 27, 2014 · 50m
The central message is that true discipleship requires adopting the mindset of Christ, which involves emptying oneself and becoming 'nobody' in one's own eyes. The speaker argues that this self-emptying is the first step in following Jesus, contrasting it with merely performing visible miracles. This humility is necessary because God works mightily in those who reduce themselves to zero, a state that even frightens the devil.
