NO FEAR IN LOVE | 3. Knowing God As Our Father | Zac Poonen | Tamil
Zac Poonen · Aug 23, 2016 · 51m
The central message is that true Christian love, founded on God's prior love, casts out fear. The speaker warns against building one's life or love for others on the shaky foundation of receiving love from people, as this leads to partiality and collapse. Instead, believers must build on the unshakable foundation of God's love, which results in a life free from fear, and must be careful to discern true gospel teaching from false doctrines.

Zac Poonen · Aug 23, 2016 · 55m
The sermon emphasizes that true Christian life requires a constant focus on Jesus, urging believers to preach repentance and point people to Him, much like John the Baptist did.

NO FEAR IN LOVE | 1.The Law Produces Fear And Guilt | Zac Poonen | Tamil
Zac Poonen · Aug 23, 2016 · 57m
The central message is that true Christianity requires a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, not just adherence to religious practices. The speaker argues that merely belonging to a church or undergoing rituals like baptism or speaking in tongues is insufficient for eternal life. True life comes from knowing God and Jesus Christ intimately, which provides a profound sense of security, like knowing one's father and mother.

Fervent Devotion to Christ and the Way of the Cross - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Aug 19, 2016 · 26m
The speaker warns that complacency, even after experiencing God's blessings, can subtly lead believers astray from pure devotion to Christ. He draws a parallel between the temptation in Genesis (seeking knowledge outside the Tree of Life) and modern pitfalls, such as allowing ministry or worldly concerns like money to become idols. True devotion to Christ, which is the greatest commandment, must be constantly guarded against familiarity and self-satisfaction.

GOD SHOWS US HIS WAY | 4.Learning The Fear Of God | Zac Poonen |
Zac Poonen · Aug 16, 2016 · 58m
The speaker emphasizes that understanding God's way requires grasping the seriousness of sin, contrasting the Old Covenant's tangible penalties for sin with the New Covenant's spiritual standard. He argues that many Christians treat sin lightly, failing to appreciate the immense value of Christ's blood, which redeems us far beyond any earthly payment. The core message is a warning about the danger of harboring anger in the heart, as this constitutes guilt even before speaking, and the only escape is through acknowledging the need for God's grace, not merely through ritualistic confession.

GOD SHOWS US HIS WAY | 1.Being Honest About Our Sins | Zac Poonen | Tamil
Zac Poonen · Aug 16, 2016 · 55m
The central message is that human pride prevents us from understanding God's superior ways, which are vastly different from our own. True understanding of God's ways comes through humility, much like a child who asks questions without shame. The speaker emphasizes that humility leads to peace in relationships and life decisions, contrasting it with the pitfalls of pride.

GOD SHOWS US HIS WAY | 3.His Power To Overcome Sin | Zac Poonen | Tamil
Zac Poonen · Aug 16, 2016 · 54m
True understanding of God's way requires unlearning one's own ways, as many things that seem right are actually wrong. The speaker emphasizes that genuine revelation comes not just from hearing a message, but from the Holy Spirit opening the eyes of the heart, as Paul advised the Ephesians. Ultimately, one must pray for this spiritual understanding to internalize the truth so that it changes one's life completely, moving beyond mere intellectual agreement.

GOD SHOWS US HIS WAY | 5.Knowing Jesus Personally | Zac Poonen | Tamil
Zac Poonen · Aug 16, 2016 · 59m
The speaker emphasizes the seriousness of sin, explaining that even one sin breaks a person's connection with God, much like a single hole leaks a vessel. True salvation requires understanding that one's own sin is enough for Christ's sacrifice, rather than viewing it as a global issue. Repentance means confessing all sins to God so that He can repair the 'holes' in our lives.

GOD SHOWS US HIS WAY | 7.Being A Light In The World-Young People | Zac Poonen | Tamil
Zac Poonen · Aug 16, 2016 · 57m
Jesus taught that He was the light of the world only while He was physically present, but the Holy Spirit continues to be the light through the church. The speaker urges young people to be distinct from the world by living differently in their speech, dress, and friendships. True discipleship requires taking up the cross daily and maintaining a visible, bright light that contrasts with the surrounding darkness.

GOD SHOWS US HIS WAY | 6.Being Weak As Jesus Was | Zac Poonen | Tamil
Zac Poonen · Aug 16, 2016 · 57m
The speaker explains that understanding God's way is impossible through natural reason, and the power received from the Holy Spirit is not characterized by external manifestations like miracles or loud displays. True power, according to Jesus, is known by the fruit it bears internally, contrasting this with the external power sought by the world and even some Christians. The example of Paul in Corinth illustrates that true spiritual stature is not based on outward appearance or eloquence.

THE TRUTH SHALL SET YOU FREE: 7.Freedom From The Love Of Money - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jul 21, 2016 · 1h 28m
The sermon emphasizes that true freedom comes from knowing the truth, which must penetrate the heart, leading to the filling of the Holy Spirit. The speaker addresses common misinterpretations of scripture, clarifying that healing mentioned in Isaiah 53 refers to spiritual healing from sin, not just physical ailment. Furthermore, he establishes that ultimate authority always rests with God, meaning believers must submit to God's Word even if it contradicts the instructions of elders, pastors, or husbands.

THE TRUTH SHALL SET YOU FREE: 6.Freedom In Our Bodies - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jul 21, 2016 · 1h 33m
The sermon explores the concept of freedom in the body, drawing parallels between the Old Testament Tabernacle and the believer's body as a temple of the Holy Spirit. It emphasizes that true worship in the New Covenant involves dedicating one's entire self—including eyes, senses, and body—to God, moving beyond mere lip service or material offerings. The speaker stresses that we must recognize our bodies as God's temple and dedicate them fully to Him.

THE TRUTH SHALL SET YOU FREE: 5.Freedom For Youth - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jul 21, 2016 · 1h 22m
The sermon emphasizes that to enter the Kingdom of God, one must approach it with the purity and simplicity of a child, rather than relying on intellectual knowledge or worldly status. Jesus taught that God looks at the heart, not the head, suggesting that our hearts become soiled by the world, regardless of our age or religious standing. True renewal requires a childlike humility and receptivity.

THE TRUTH SHALL SET YOU FREE: 4.Freedom From Pride - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jul 21, 2016 · 1h 15m
True freedom comes from recognizing and shedding the pride, preconceived notions, and cultural biases absorbed from childhood and local churches. To achieve this, one must study the Word of God with deep reverence, understanding that the full truth is found not just in isolated verses, but in the balance between scriptures. Furthermore, believers must resist the temptation to preach or live life based on the approval of people rather than the pure truth of Christ.

THE TRUTH SHALL SET YOU FREE: 3.Freedom From The Law - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jul 21, 2016 · 1h 30m
The sermon emphasizes that true freedom comes from understanding the difference between the Law and the grace found in Jesus Christ. The speaker warns against 'false grace,' which misunderstands God's grace as a license to sin, contrasting it with the true grace described in Scripture. He urges the congregation to approach the Word with an open mind to discern the genuine message of God.

THE TRUTH SHALL SET YOU FREE: 2.Freedom From Insecurity - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jul 21, 2016 · 1h 28m
The central message is that knowing the Father loves us as much as He loved Jesus (John 17:23) provides freedom from insecurity.

THE TRUTH SHALL SET YOU FREE: 1.Freedom From Sin - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jul 21, 2016 · 1h 5m
The speaker emphasizes that the Bible is the sole, authoritative word of God, contrasting it with teachings from parents or established churches. He recounts his personal journey from an Orthodox background to realizing the necessity of being 'born again' through the Bible. The central message is that true knowledge of God's truth, including warnings about hell and the path to salvation, comes only from reading and believing the Bible, as exemplified by the rich man's conversation with Abraham in Luke 16.

All That Jesus Taught (Bible Study – 13 of 80) - Zac Poonen (with Romanian Subtitles)
Zac Poonen · May 25, 2016 · 25m
The sermon emphasizes that peacemaking is a defining characteristic of a true son of God, citing Jesus' teaching and passages like Matthew 5 and Philippians 2. The speaker argues that pursuing peace requires a willingness to die to self, refusing to engage in quarrels or disputes, even when it means foregoing the chance to 'win' an argument. Ultimately, this pursuit of peace, trusting in God's sovereignty, leads to a life pleasing to the Lord.

All That Jesus Taught (Bible Study – 12 of 80) - Zac Poonen (with Romanian Subtitles)
Zac Poonen · May 20, 2016 · 26m
The sermon emphasizes that fulfilling the Great Commission requires understanding everything Jesus taught, particularly the attitudes described in the Sermon on the Mount. True discipleship demands a desperate hunger and thirst for righteousness, which is fundamentally different from worldly desires for comfort or wealth. This deep seeking of God with all one's heart is what leads to a truly satisfying Christian life.

All That Jesus Taught (Bible Study – 11 of 80) - Zac Poonen (with Romanian Subtitles)
Zac Poonen · May 20, 2016 · 25m
The sermon focuses on the teachings of Jesus, particularly the Sermon on the Mount, emphasizing that these teachings are vital for true discipleship. The speaker highlights the concept of being 'poor in spirit,' illustrating it by comparing it to a beggar who is constantly aware of his daily physical needs. This spiritual poverty means approaching God daily, recognizing one's constant need for God's wisdom and grace to receive the blessings of the Kingdom of Heaven.

All That Jesus Taught (Bible Study – 9 of 80) - Zac Poonen (with Romanian Subtitles)
Zac Poonen · May 20, 2016 · 25m
The central message is that true discipleship requires actively following Jesus' commands, rather than merely possessing head knowledge of scripture. The speaker emphasizes that making people disciples and teaching them to obey is paramount, and this process requires following Christ personally, not just studying the Bible. Being a 'fisher of men' means leading people from the 'water' (the world) into the 'kingdom of heaven' (a new environment).

All That Jesus Taught (Bible Study – 8 of 80) - Zac Poonen (with Romanian Subtitles)
Zac Poonen · May 20, 2016 · 25m
The speaker emphasizes that the Great Commission requires Christians to teach everyone 'every single thing' Jesus commanded, going beyond mere conversion to true discipleship. 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 Jesus could truly model a life that allows us to follow Him, especially in overcoming temptation.
