Watch Your Inner Life - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jan 16, 2017 · 30m
The central message is that God looks at the heart, not the outward appearance, a principle drawn from 1 Samuel 16:7. Jesus taught that true righteousness required an inward transformation that surpassed mere adherence to external laws, citing examples like anger and lust. The speaker urges listeners to focus on purifying their inner lives, as external religious acts are insufficient for entering the Kingdom of Heaven.

The Foundation For God's Purpose - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jan 16, 2017 · 1h 3m
The central message is the necessity of proclaiming the 'whole purpose of God,' drawing from Paul's testimony of being innocent of the blood of all men. This means preaching the complete truth, not just what is popular or profitable, which is often a worship of Mammon. To fully proclaim God's purpose, truth must always be covered with grace, and every believer should be able to testify, 'Follow me as I follow Christ,' even if they are not perfect.

Remembering The Slain Lamb - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jan 11, 2017 · 17m
The sermon draws from Revelation 5 to illustrate that true worship in heaven is entirely centered on Jesus Christ, requiring believers to humble themselves and be small in their own eyes. The speaker emphasizes that sin is fundamentally rebellion against God's authority, and only Jesus, who was slain, was qualified to pay the price for humanity's redemption. Following Jesus means adopting a 'lion-lamb combination': being fearless against sin and the devil, yet meek and willing to endure suffering before people.

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."

Last Days: Great Deception - Zac Poonen (with Romanian Subtitles)
Zac Poonen · Dec 12, 2016 · 57m
The speaker emphasizes that true readiness for Christ's return is not found in knowing the exact details of the end-times, but in maintaining a passionate, devoted relationship with Christ, likened to a bride's devotion to her groom. He warns against adopting a 'fear of being caught' as motivation for holiness, arguing that genuine holiness must stem from the fear of God, not from the anxiety of potential discovery. True devotion means being so focused on Christ that worldly details or temptations do not distract one.

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.

Zac Poonen · Dec 12, 2016 · 1h 8m
The speaker emphasizes that true Christian fellowship is distinct from worldly friendship and requires freedom from sin. He warns against hypocrisy, urging listeners to live before God alone rather than performing for the approval of others.

Some Lessons The Lord Taught Me - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Dec 7, 2016 · 1h 7m
The speaker shares lessons learned about the Christian life, emphasizing that the core of Christianity rests on the foundational truths that Christ died for sins and rose from the dead. He stresses that believers must be witnesses of the resurrection, not just the crucifixion. Ultimately, he argues that believing by faith, without needing physical evidence or sensory experiences, is a greater blessing than having seen miracles.

Zac Poonen · Oct 14, 2016 · 1h 13m
This drama uses the historical context of Jeremiah and Daniel to challenge believers to remain uncompromising in their faith amidst cultural compromise, symbolized by Babylonian Christianity.

The performance urges the younger generation to be faithful witnesses for Christ.

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.

The Obedience Of Faith And Love – Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Sep 9, 2016 · 55m
The speaker urges believers to obey God's commandments as readily as they would follow a doctor's prescription for a cure. He emphasizes that the promise of sitting with Christ on the throne in eternity is conditional upon overcoming, which is an individual responsibility. True overcoming requires actively fighting daily battles against sin, unlike the misconception that Jesus never struggled.

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 | 7. Our All-Powerful Heavenly Father | Zac Poonen | Tamil
Zac Poonen · Aug 23, 2016 · 55m
The central message contrasts understanding (knowledge in the mind) with true faith, which resides in the heart. The speaker emphasizes that genuine faith is evidenced by the absence of fear, as fear signals a lack of trust in God. To cultivate this heart-level faith, one must continuously pray for the filling of the Holy Spirit, rather than being satisfied with past spiritual experiences.

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.
