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.

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.

Born Again Through Repentance And Faith - Zac Poonen

Zac Poonen · Apr 27, 2017 · 1h 12m

The speaker analyzes Revelation 3, arguing that the message of Jesus standing at the door is primarily directed to the church elders, not unbelievers. He emphasizes that understanding scripture requires reading contextually, not in isolated verses. A key teaching point is that God's love is demonstrated through reproof and discipline, citing Revelation 3:19, which he contrasts with the common misconception that love only involves positive affirmation.

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.

Zac Poonen · Apr 25, 2017 · 38m

The sermon continues the study of what Jesus taught, focusing on the wrong attitude of anxiety from Matthew 6:25-34. The speaker emphasizes that anxiety is not a mere weakness but a sin, comparable to other sins Jesus warned against. He argues that since God is our Heavenly Father, we should trust His provision, comparing our care for our lives and needs to the provision given to the birds of the air, who do not sow or reap.

Zac Poonen · Apr 24, 2017 · 24m

Jesus taught a pattern for prayer, emphasizing that believers should approach God as 'Father' rather than merely 'God.'

Zac Poonen · Apr 24, 2017 · 25m

Jesus taught that in giving, praying, and fasting, believers should practice their righteousness in secret, rather than seeking honor from people. The speaker emphasizes that this principle is a contrast to the hypocrisy of the Pharisees and that Christian giving should be voluntary, cheerful, and done without public display.

This study examines the teachings of Jesus, focusing on the 'wrong attitudes' Christians must eliminate. Key areas covered include anger, sexually sinful thoughts, and lying.

The Law Of Faith - Zac Poonen

Zac Poonen · Apr 18, 2017 · 1h 7m

The speaker compares natural laws, like gravity, to spiritual laws, emphasizing that understanding these divine patterns is key to spiritual benefit. He argues that the New Testament places a strong emphasis on faith, citing Hebrews 11:6, which states that without faith, it is impossible to please God. True faith is defined not merely as intellectual belief, but as a deep, confident trust in God's character and omnipresence, as exemplified by God's self-revelation as 'I Am.'

The message concludes by defining prayer as a state of complete helplessness before God and urging constant dependence on Him.

Lo que DIOS piensa de tu exterior - Zac Ponnen (with Spanish subtitles)

Zac Poonen · Mar 22, 2017 · 30m

The central message is that God judges the heart, not the outward appearance, citing 1 Samuel 16:7. The speaker contrasts the outward religion of the Old Covenant with the inward focus required by the New Testament, emphasizing that true righteousness must surpass mere adherence to external rules, such as those practiced by the Pharisees. He stresses that internal sins, like anger or lust (especially through pornography), are just as damning as physical transgressions.
