A Christ Like Home: 2.Christlike Parents And Children - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jan 30, 2014 · 1h 3m
The sermon emphasizes that raising children in a Christ-like manner is a vital measure of genuine Christian faith, as children see hypocrisy when parents do not live by their preached words. The speaker draws on scripture to argue that parents have a significant responsibility to train their children in the faith, citing Moses' mother as an example of early, dedicated spiritual training. Ultimately, living by faith and rejecting the world's allure, as Moses did, is the goal for both parents and children.

Righteousness, Kindness and Humility - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jan 27, 2014 · 1h 1m
The sermon emphasizes that true righteousness, kindness, and humility, as required by God, must be internal rather than merely outward performance for human approval. The speaker draws from Micah 6:8, contrasting the outward focus of the Old Covenant with the inward reality of the New Covenant. He warns that seeking righteousness before men is a subtle form of idolatry, and true discipleship requires a concern only for what God thinks, not what people think.

The speaker emphasizes that children are a gift from the Lord and, for them to be truly blessed, they must be surrendered back to God. He advises parents to raise their children not for their own care in old age, but to live for God. Furthermore, children should be trained like arrows, ready to be fired against Satan, and taught to resolve conflicts not with family members, but in service to Christ.

The sermon emphasizes that following Jesus is a narrow, difficult path, contrasting it with the wide path leading to destruction. True life and joy are found by choosing this narrow way, which requires daily testing and commitment. The speaker encourages the congregation to follow Jesus' example and to encourage younger members to walk this path, trusting that God will provide strength through every trial.

The sermon emphasizes the importance of building one's life on the solid foundation of Jesus' teachings, particularly those found in Matthew chapters 5, 6, and 7. The speaker warns that merely hearing these words without obeying them is insufficient, as even a small wind can cause a house built on weak foundations to collapse. He urges the congregation to take these teachings seriously now rather than discovering the truth later.

The speaker discusses how to discern false prophets, advising believers to compare teachings against established scripture, particularly referencing Matthew 5-7 and John 14-17. He contrasts the standards of the Old Covenant (like the Ten Commandments) with the higher standard established by Jesus through the New Covenant, emphasizing that the Christian standard should surpass all previous moral and religious laws.

The speaker addresses the congregation, urging them to live for a purpose beyond worldly glory, questioning for whom they are living. Drawing from John 6, the message emphasizes that Jesus's teaching is not merely intellectual but is the Spirit giving life. He encourages the listeners to follow Jesus by faith, trusting Him to lead them through difficult paths, much like trusting a guide rather than relying on self-made paths.

The speaker emphasizes that Christians should focus on living the narrow way, following the path of the cross, rather than just listening to sermons. Drawing from Paul's ministry in Ephesus, he argues that people should judge a preacher not by the volume of their sermons, but by the consistency and integrity of their lived life. True discipleship requires observing both the teaching and the character of the messenger.

The sermon contrasts the narrow way of discipleship—which requires denying self and following the cross—with the broad way of merely seeking worldly blessings. The speaker emphasizes that true discipleship involves more than just attending services or receiving material blessings; it requires a willingness to die to self. He concludes that the foundation of the church is not built on doctrine alone, but on observing the genuine life of a true man of God.

The sermon emphasizes that true knowledge of scripture must translate into practical obedience, warning against the danger of intellectual understanding without lifestyle change. Specifically regarding parenting, the speaker urges fathers to discipline their children according to God's word but never in anger, modeling honesty and genuine discipleship for their children to follow. Ultimately, the goal is for all children to become wholehearted disciples of Christ.

Zac Poonen · Nov 18, 2013 · 31m
The speaker cautions against misinterpreting scripture by taking verses out of their original context, emphasizing that one must read entire passages or letters for accurate understanding. He stresses the necessity of balancing truth (doctrine) with grace (practical love), citing Jesus's life as the model. Finally, he discusses the Great Commission, noting that Jesus commanded it twice, implying a comprehensive, global scope for evangelism that requires all believers to be witnesses.

Faithful Stewards - 2.The New Covenant Fulness of The Spirit - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Nov 18, 2013 · 1h 5m
The speaker contrasts the natural tendency to experience spiritual highs and lows with the divine standard of continuous, progressive growth, likened to the sun's increasing brilliance. He warns that attempting to adapt God's truth to personal comfort or finding excuses for failure leads to spiritual deception. True discipleship requires embracing the truth, accepting self-examination, and acknowledging one's sinfulness, mirroring the honest confession found at the cross.

Children As Warriors - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Nov 6, 2013 · 16m
The central message is to learn from little children, whose pure, helpless cries represent the perfect form of praise to God. This childlike dependence is contrasted with the sophisticated praise of the world, and it is also shown to be the source of God's strength and power against enemies. Furthermore, the speaker emphasizes that children are a divine gift and a legacy, who must be prepared like arrows for the spiritual battle.

transcribingGod's Commands Can All Be Obeyed - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Oct 31, 2013 · 57m
The sermon addresses the concept of obeying all of God's commands, emphasizing that true obedience stems from a heart transformed by the Holy Spirit. It teaches that while the commands are numerous, the core message is one of complete surrender and living in right relationship with God. The speaker encourages believers to focus on the heart condition rather than just the list of rules.

Zac Poonen · Oct 27, 2013 · 1h 6m
The speaker emphasizes that true Christian living means living as Jesus did, which involves completely dying to self and living for the Father's will. He uses the analogy of treating symptoms versus curing the root cause of a disease to explain that merely fighting outward sins is insufficient; one must address the root of sin. The sermon also touches upon the origin of sin, noting that it corrupted not only humanity but also the surrounding environment and spiritual realm.

4.In the Fellowship of the Saints - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Oct 18, 2013 · 1h 7m
The sermon uses the cross as a central metaphor, explaining that both the vertical (God reconciling man) and horizontal (man reconciling man) aspects are necessary for a complete Christian life. It argues that Christianity often focuses on external rituals or doctrines that require no sacrifice, neglecting the core commandments: loving God with all your heart and loving your neighbor as yourself. True devotion, the speaker asserts, is tested by one's attitude toward money and allegiance, as one cannot serve both God and money.

Reality In Your Christian Life - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Oct 14, 2013 · 3m 7s
The speaker uses the architectural metaphor of a cube, referencing Revelation 21:16, to illustrate the need for depth in one's spiritual life. He warns that on the final day, God will examine the true depth of a person's faith, exposing superficiality. Therefore, believers should focus on cultivating genuine depth in their private lives rather than presenting an overly grand image to others.

A Good Mother And A Bad One - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Sep 21, 2013 · 16m
The sermon uses the story of Hannah to emphasize that children are a gift from God that must be dedicated back to the Lord. It extends this principle to all believers, urging parents to guide their children to recognize God's ownership over them. The speaker also stresses that every believer has a specific, God-ordained place in the body of Christ, and that faith, not just knowledge, must be imparted to the next generation.

Through The Bible - English - 10 (Judges & Ruth) - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jul 2, 2013 · 54m
The speaker uses the Book of Judges to illustrate that Israel's decline followed periods of great victory because the people failed to maintain a deep, personal knowledge of God. He warns that merely studying the Bible or having impressive ministry statistics is insufficient; true knowledge of God comes through personal trials and yearning, not just information. Ultimately, the message is that spiritual leadership requires knowing God deeply, and the church must prioritize the quality of spiritual believers over sheer numbers.

Married Life And Raising Children | 3.In-laws, Money And Children - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jun 14, 2013 · 1h 0m
The speaker emphasizes that a Christian's ministry is deeply dependent on their life at home, arguing that the home life is the 'second story' of Christian service, following the personal walk with God. He cites qualifications for elders and servants, stressing that a person's testimony in their family and neighborhood is more important than what church leaders think. Ultimately, he stresses that a good family life is foundational for effective ministry.

The Will Of God Is The Best Thing To Seek - Zac Poonen (Telugu)
Zac Poonen · May 30, 2013 · 1h 3m
The sermon emphasizes that human understanding of good and evil is insufficient, as God's wisdom surpasses our own. Instead of relying on human logic, believers must seek God's wisdom to discern what is truly good. The speaker uses parables of the lost sheep and the prodigal son to illustrate that when a brother strays due to carelessness or false teaching, the church should actively go after them to guide them back, unlike the case of the rebellious son.

God Is A Good And Loving Father - Zac Poonen (Telugu)
Zac Poonen · May 26, 2013 · 1h 6m
The sermon emphasizes the crucial difference between merely reading God's Word and actively obeying it. Using the analogy of manna in the wilderness, the speaker explains that just as the Israelites had to consume manna daily to survive, believers must receive and live by God's Word every day. True nourishment comes not from hearing the word, but from obeying it, which allows it to be 'digested' and become useful to our lives.

Getting God's Certificate, Not Man's - Zac Poonen (Telugu)
Zac Poonen · May 26, 2013 · 55m
The sermon emphasizes that true wisdom requires the ability to discern good from evil, comparing this to a child who cannot distinguish between mud and playthings. The speaker warns that spiritual immaturity prevents believers from recognizing what is truly good, citing examples like consuming inappropriate media or holding unforgiveness. The central message is that genuine growth is necessary to discern God's standard over man's, as only God is inherently good.
