Choosing The Good Always - Zac Poonen (Telugu)
Zac Poonen · May 26, 2013 · 56m
The sermon emphasizes that believers must constantly focus on Jesus Christ as the most important person present. Drawing from Amos 5:14, the core message is to 'seek good and not evil' to live, as God's presence is contingent upon this pursuit. The speaker contrasts the historical inability of many religious leaders to live according to God's will with Jesus's life, which demonstrated how to live righteously, establishing the Kingdom of Heaven here on earth within the church.

Youth Conference - Coming To God -3 by Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · May 13, 2013 · 1h 1m
The speaker advises that just as lambs must learn to recognize the shepherd's voice, believers must actively seek fellowship with godly people until they can discern Christ's voice independently. He stresses the necessity of making difficult choices in relationships, warning that one must be willing to cut off relationships (like a hand or foot) that cause stumbling in the walk with the Lord, even if it means going against family or worldly ties. True discipleship requires a radical commitment to following Christ above all else.

Youth Conference - Coming To God -1 by Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · May 13, 2013 · 45m
The speaker advises young people that true spirituality comes not from knowledge or eloquence, but from adopting a proper Christian value system that guides one's life. He stresses the importance of being willing to look 'odd' and different from worldly peers to follow Jesus' narrow way. The message uses the parables of the lost sheep and the prodigal son to illustrate that safety and restoration come from remaining within fellowship and submitting to God's authority.

Jesus' Example In Ministry - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Apr 23, 2013 · 1h 0m
The speaker emphasizes that Jesus' life provides the perfect model for how Christians should live, urging listeners to walk as He walked. He warns against the dishonesty within Christendom, where people are unwilling to confront biblical truths that challenge their current practices. Furthermore, he stresses that Christian leadership must be demonstrated through action, as one must practice what they preach, and that obedience to church leaders pertains only to church matters, not private life.

Abiding In Love - Vincent
CFC Messages · Apr 23, 2013 · 29m
The sermon emphasizes that the core of Christian life is abiding in God's love, mirroring the unconditional love Christ showed, even to Judas. True discipleship requires a commitment to love others consistently, like Ruth loving Naomi until the end, and maintaining this love despite personal difficulty or disagreement. Ultimately, believers are called to live by God's grace and hope, recognizing that our ability to love perfectly comes from the Holy Spirit, not our own strength.

A Church Of Overcomers - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Apr 23, 2013 · 1h 1m
The speaker emphasizes that the full purpose of God is not limited to personal piety but involves the church building itself. He argues that true understanding of the church must come from studying the New Testament concepts like 'fellowship' and 'worship in the spirit,' rather than relying on tradition or personal ideas. Ultimately, the speaker asserts that the saints, not the leaders, are responsible for building the body of Christ, citing Ephesians 4:11-12.

Discipleship And All That Jesus Taught - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Apr 23, 2013 · 1h 1m
The speaker draws lessons from Paul's warning to the elders in Ephesus, emphasizing that true ministry requires declaring the 'whole purpose of God,' not just parts of it. He critiques modern evangelism for being shallow and overly reliant on human logic or psychology, arguing that genuine spiritual understanding comes from deep study of scripture and submission to the Holy Spirit's guidance, rather than clever reasoning. The core message is the necessity of comprehensive teaching to reflect the full glory of God.

Trembling At God's Word - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Apr 23, 2013 · 24m
The speaker urges the audience to develop a deep reverence for God's word, comparing it to a fear greater than fear of law enforcement. He emphasizes that true discipleship requires pursuing peace with all people and sanctification, warning that without this, one cannot see the Lord. The message also touches on the necessity of acknowledging one's own degree of guilt in every conflict, no matter how much fault lies with another.

Through The Bible - English - 29 (Hosea & Joel) by Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Apr 10, 2013 · 54m
The sermon uses the book of Hosea to illustrate the theme of spiritual adultery and God's enduring love. Spiritual unfaithfulness is equated with loving anything other than God—such as money, worldly honor, or pleasure—which constitutes idolatry. The core message is that true prophetic ministry requires experiencing God's heart through personal suffering, mirroring how God taught Hosea through a painful marriage. Ultimately, ministry effectiveness comes not just from knowledge, but from enduring trials that allow one to feel God's compassion.

Through The Bible - English - 25 (Isaiah-2) by Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Apr 10, 2013 · 56m
The speaker uses Isaiah chapters, particularly focusing on passages related to John the Baptist's ministry and the Second Coming, to teach that the church's role is to prepare people for Christ's return. Key themes include encouraging those in despair (valleys lifted up), humbling pride (mountains brought low), and emphasizing that while earthly glory fades like grass, the Word of God endures forever. Ultimately, the message calls believers to rely on God's immense sovereignty and power when they feel weak.

Through The Bible - English - 26 (Jeremiah & Lamentations) by Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Apr 10, 2013 · 55m
Jeremiah was a prophet who ministered to Judah for over 40 years, deeply concerned with the people's sin despite failing to prevent judgment. The sermon emphasizes that God has a plan for every life, even from the womb, and that God's calling is not dependent on natural ability or age. Believers are encouraged to trust God's presence and be willing to tear down old, flawed structures to build what God intends.

Through The Bible - English - 27 (Ezekiel) by Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Apr 10, 2013 · 57m
The sermon uses Ezekiel's calling as an example of God's calling, which often requires moving beyond one's initial plans and accepting necessary discipline. The speaker emphasizes that true service requires submission to God's will, even when it involves suffering or going to undesirable places. Furthermore, the vision of the wheels illustrates the sovereign working of God and the Holy Spirit in all life circumstances, regardless of direction.

Through The Bible - English - 28 (Daniel) by Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Apr 10, 2013 · 55m
The message draws lessons from Daniel, emphasizing that building a pure church or movement begins with one uncompromising individual who carries the burden of prayer. True influence comes not from numbers but from people who stand for God without compromising their convictions, even when facing persecution. Believers must recognize God's sovereignty while personally committing to never defile their conscience.

Zac Poonen · Apr 10, 2013 · 57m

Through The Bible - English - 31 (Jonah & Micah) by Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Apr 10, 2013 · 54m
The sermon uses the Book of Jonah to illustrate God's immense love for all people, even enemies, and the limitations placed on God's work when human messengers are unwilling or prejudiced. Key lessons include that one's service can be limited by personal prejudices and that having the means (like money) to go somewhere does not equate to it being God's will. Ultimately, Jonah's experience teaches that when human efforts fail, we must turn to prayer.

Through The Bible - English - 40 (Luke-2) by Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Apr 10, 2013 · 56m
The sermon emphasizes that true discipleship involves embracing persecution and misunderstanding, as Jesus taught that those who are hated for following Him are truly blessed. It stresses radical love, urging believers to love their enemies, pray for those who mistreat them, and act mercifully, mirroring God's forgiveness. The core message is to live by the principle of reciprocity—treat others as you wish to be treated—and to cultivate a heart of mercy.

Through The Bible - English - 14 (2 Kings) by Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Apr 10, 2013 · 57m
The sermon emphasizes that God calls diligent, hardworking people who are faithful in their ordinary, secular tasks. True service requires instant obedience and total commitment, as demonstrated by the prophets who dropped everything when called. The speaker also highlights the importance of learning from the mistakes of others, drawing lessons from scripture and the failures of past leaders.

Through The Bible - English - 04 (Exodus-1) by Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Apr 10, 2013 · 57m
The sermon uses the story of Moses to illustrate that God's purposes are fulfilled even through the opposition of the devil and the world's systems. The key lesson is that human abilities, education, or worldly success are insufficient for God's calling; true preparation comes through periods of breaking and humility, such as Moses' 40 years in the wilderness. When we think we are ready, God may still require us to be broken down before He can use us for His divine purpose.

Through The Bible - English - 16 (Nehemiah & Esther) by Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Apr 10, 2013 · 55m
The speaker contrasts two movements of Israel: the personal walk out of sin (Egypt to Canaan) and the corporate restoration (Babylon to Jerusalem). He warns against equating denominations with spiritual location, arguing that true spiritual decay, or 'Babylon,' resides in the self-centered pursuit of personal gain rather than selfless service to God. True restoration, like Nehemiah's rebuilding of Jerusalem, requires a deep concern for the state of the Church and a commitment to sacrifice for Christ's glory.

Through The Bible - English - 02 (Genesis-2) by Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Apr 10, 2013 · 56m
The speaker warns against spiritual deception, comparing false Christianity to counterfeit currency, where the 'gate to God' looks similar to the 'narrow way' but leads astray. He emphasizes that true faith requires careful study of Scripture to avoid being misled by systems that blend religion with money, fame, and human effort, which he equates to Babylon. The core message is to follow Jesus's path of servant leadership rather than the worldly pursuit of power and glory.

Through The Bible - English - 07 (Numbers) by Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Apr 10, 2013 · 57m
The speaker uses the Book of Numbers to teach that God values discipline, orderliness, and individual attention in our lives, comparing it to the meticulous details recorded in the book. He emphasizes that just as God took interest in every offering, He is interested in the details of our lives, and that true service requires a willingness to stand with God, exemplified by the Levites standing against the idolatry of the people.

Zac Poonen · Apr 10, 2013 · 56m

Through The Bible - English - 12 (2 Samuel) by Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Apr 10, 2013 · 57m
