Three Dangerous Leavens - Zac Poonen

Zac Poonen · Aug 18, 2014 · 1h 0m

The speaker discusses the dangers facing the church, arguing that the greatest threat is not persecution, but subtle deception, which he compares to leaven. He draws parallels from scripture, warning that the church must guard against corrupting its wisdom, witness, and testimony. He specifically warns against the 'leaven of Herod,' which infiltrates those who are already within the church structure, rather than those outside.

The Danger Of Addictions - Zac Poonen

Zac Poonen · Jul 1, 2014 · 31m

The speaker explains that humanity faces a constant struggle between a downward pull toward the 'dust' (the physical, earthly desires) and an upward pull toward the heavenly, which is facilitated by the Holy Spirit. He warns that yielding to earthly desires, whether through sin, twisting scripture to justify sin, or over-relying on reason, leads to a downward slope. True holiness requires recognizing that God gave us the Bible not for comfort in sin, but to make us holy.

3.Having Authority Over Satan - Zac Poonen

Zac Poonen · Jun 25, 2014 · 1h 10m

Jesus taught that the church built on the confession of Christ is invincible to the powers of spiritual death, provided it has strong, appointed leadership. The speaker emphasizes that the church is meant to be a place of conflict where it always wins by following God's way, and that discipline, as taught in Matthew 18, is a loving process aimed at winning back a brother who has sinned.

Living As Jesus Lived: 5.Jesus Fulfilled All Of God's Will - Zac Poonen (Romanian)

Zac Poonen · Jun 13, 2014 · 1h 9m

The sermon emphasizes that believers are bought with a price, meaning their bodies are no longer for personal use but are the temple of the Holy Spirit. The speaker draws parallels between Israel's failures in the Promised Land and the need for believers to live according to God's will, referencing passages about disqualification and the spiritual warfare required for true discipleship. Ultimately, the message calls for recognizing that our bodies belong to God and should be used to honor Him.

The sermon focuses on biblical prophecies concerning the Second Coming of Christ, drawing heavily from Zechariah 14, Luke 21, and Revelation. The speaker warns that the end times will be marked by increasing violence, war, and moral decay, contrasting this with the need for the church to remain pure.

Zac Poonen · May 6, 2014 · 1h 1m

The central message is that true spiritual victory comes not from the authority we claim over sin or the enemy, but from resting in God's supreme authority and presence. The speaker warns against the danger of pride, which often follows perceived victories, noting that God's work is deep and thorough, unlike superficial self-improvement. Ultimately, believers should rejoice in God's sustaining power over them, rather than their own accomplishments.

Zac Poonen · Feb 21, 2014 · 59m

The speaker urges the audience to look past superficial symptoms to address the root issue—believing lies—and emphasizes that the only reliable source of truth and help is God. He concludes by encouraging listeners to anchor their faith in John 6:37, which assures them that Jesus will never reject anyone who comes to Him.

The speaker warns that the last days will bring much deception, emphasizing that the Bible is a necessary guide against false teachings and miracles.

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.

Zac Poonen · Apr 10, 2013 · 57m

The sermon uses Zechariah's prophecy to emphasize the importance of fellowship and God's ongoing care for His people, particularly the Church.

Through The Bible - English - 17 (Job-1) by Zac Poonen

Zac Poonen · Apr 8, 2013 · 56m

The book of Job reveals profound truths about suffering, particularly what occurs in the heavenly realm when a child of God suffers on earth. The speaker emphasizes that a godly man will inevitably be a target for Satan's attacks, and his family will also be targeted. Furthermore, a truly godly man will often be misunderstood by other religious people because their knowledge is intellectual rather than spiritual.

3.The Authority Of God's Children by Zac Poonen

Zac Poonen · Dec 31, 2012 · 1h 5m

Jesus taught his disciples that their true joy should not come from the authority over demons, but from the fact that their names are recorded in heaven. The speaker emphasizes that the devil's power is proven throughout scripture, and Jesus's life and death demonstrated that by being fully surrendered to Christ, believers are impervious to the devil's attacks. Therefore, the only preparation for the uncertain future is leading children to total surrender to Christ's authority.

03.How God Overcomes Evil - Zac Poonen (With Tamil Translation)

Zac Poonen · Jun 24, 2012 · 27m

Evil originated from the free will given to angels, leading some to disobey God out of pride, discontentment, and rebellion. The root of sin is not merely its visible acts but these underlying attitudes. God allows evil to exist because it serves a purpose: it tests us to see if we choose Him or evil, and it strengthens us through resistance, much like exercise. Therefore, enduring trials, even those permitted by God, is necessary for purification and reaching a place of abundance.

05.The Heavenly And Earthly Pulls - Zac Poonen (With Tamil Translation)

Zac Poonen · Jun 24, 2012 · 27m

The speaker argues that while humans share physical similarities with animals, the unique element of humanity is the spirit, which is distinct from mere mind or feeling. This spirit is evidenced by the conscience, which reminds us of a higher power and our accountability. To live as God intended, one must actively listen to this conscience, as ignoring it causes us to regress to an animalistic state.

24.God Is On Your Side Against Satan - Zac Poonen (With Tamil Translation)

Zac Poonen · Jun 24, 2012 · 27m

The central message is that the only true understanding of God comes through Jesus Christ, as He is the manifestation of God on earth. The speaker emphasizes that Jesus' life—His willingness to suffer, endure insults, and forgive those who crucified Him—reveals the true nature of God. This contrasts sharply with human sin and the limited understanding derived from worldly sources.

25.God Controls All People And Events - Zac Poonen (With Tamil Translation)

Zac Poonen · Jun 24, 2012 · 25m

The central message is that God is the blessed controller of all things, meaning He ultimately controls all people and events, even allowing Satan to exist. This sovereignty is illustrated by the parable of the narrow path, where the chains on the lions prevent them from touching those who remain on the path. Believers must maintain faith and remember God's ultimate control amidst life's difficulties.
