Following in Jesus Footsteps - Zac Poonen (Tamil)
Zac Poonen · Dec 4, 2014 · 1h 3m
The speaker argues that Christians should not measure their faith by external miracles, like those performed in the Old Testament, but rather by living a life so Christ-centered that the devil has no place in it. Following Jesus means emulating His life—His ministry and character—rather than just mimicking His powerful works. True Christian service is demonstrated through endurance, hardship, and proclaiming the gospel despite suffering.

Religiosity and Spirituality - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Sep 7, 2014 · 47m
The speaker distinguishes between religiosity, which he equates with the work of the devil, and spirituality, which is the work of the Holy Spirit. He uses the Pharisees and Jesus as examples, noting that while the religious outwardly appeared devout, Jesus demonstrated true spirituality. True spirituality is characterized by a genuine reliance on the Holy Spirit's word, which acts like a diagnostic scan revealing truth. Ultimately, the speaker emphasizes that true Christianity is tested not by external acts, but by one's attitude toward sin.

BUILDING THE BODY OF CHRIST: 3.The First Body Of Christ - Zac Poonen (Hindi)
Zac Poonen · Sep 3, 2014 · 56m
The central message is that true preaching must be rooted in personal experience and authority, mirroring Jesus Christ's ministry.

BUILDING THE BODY OF CHRIST: 2.Jesus Is Our Example - Zac Poonen (Hindi)
Zac Poonen · Sep 3, 2014 · 57m
The central message is that the Church is called the Body of Christ because Jesus Christ was the first manifestation of God's glory on earth. The primary purpose of the Church is not merely to perform good works or preach, but to reveal what God is like, mirroring Christ's own life. Furthermore, the speaker warns against a misunderstanding of the Holy Spirit, emphasizing that true believers must be fully dedicated to holiness, as partial commitment allows sin and unholy influences to pollute the inner life.

Being Full Of Faith - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Aug 27, 2014 · 59m
To remain consistently filled with the Holy Spirit, one must actively desire it, which requires valuing God above all else. This desire must be coupled with faith, meaning one trusts God to work in their life. Furthermore, maintaining this spiritual life requires keeping one's conscience clear by immediately confessing sin, and practicing humility by going down in the world rather than defending oneself.

Seek For Reality In Your Inner Life - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Aug 27, 2014 · 59m
The speaker emphasizes that Christian teaching must be balanced, drawing from various prophetic messages throughout scripture rather than focusing on one area. He contrasts the law, which came through Moses, with grace, which was realized through Jesus Christ, asserting that grace is infinitely superior to the law. Ultimately, true understanding of grace is tested by recognizing that if sin rules one's life, they are under law, not grace, and faith must be rooted in the heart's choice, not just the mind's agreement.

Wisdom For Our Days On Earth - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Aug 27, 2014 · 1h 2m

Ultimately, he urges listeners to approach God as sinners, recognizing that Christ died for sinners, not for the religiously perfect.

The Attitude Christ Had - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Aug 27, 2014 · 57m
The central message is that true Christian living requires adopting the attitude of Christ, who emptied himself of divine equality to become helpless in human form. The speaker argues that this means living in complete dependence upon God, rather than relying on personal resources, influence, or even spiritual authority. Following Christ means embracing helplessness before God, mirroring how Jesus willingly surrendered his power.

Lay A Good Foundation In Your Youth - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Aug 27, 2014 · 1h 17m
The sermon uses the parable of the sower to teach that a strong Christian foundation must be built on deep meditation and genuine heart commitment, not just surface-level knowledge. The speaker emphasizes that superficial faith, like the seed on rocky soil or the seed choked by worries, is insufficient. Ultimately, the most crucial element for young people to develop is radical honesty before God, as pretense and hypocrisy are spiritually destructive.

Repentance And Clear Vision - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Aug 27, 2014 · 58m
The central message is that true Christianity requires a thorough, 180-degree repentance, which is the message John the Baptist and Jesus preached.

Repentance means turning around completely to embrace the new covenant gospel, rather than merely giving up earthly sins.

Recognizing That We Are Nothing - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Aug 27, 2014 · 50m
The central message is that true discipleship requires adopting the mindset of Christ, which involves emptying oneself and becoming 'nobody' in one's own eyes. The speaker argues that this self-emptying is the first step in following Jesus, contrasting it with merely performing visible miracles. This humility is necessary because God works mightily in those who reduce themselves to zero, a state that even frightens the devil.

The Laws Of The Spirit And The Body - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Aug 27, 2014 · 58m
The speaker contrasts the 'law of Moses' with the 'law of the Spirit,' emphasizing that the latter is life found in Christ Jesus, not a written code. True understanding of the gospel requires living out the Spirit's life, which sets believers free from the law of sin and death, preventing self-condemnation. Following Christ's example means living visibly according to the Spirit's life, rather than merely understanding doctrine or admiring Jesus from a distance.

Zac Poonen · Aug 27, 2014 · 1h 3m
The speaker urges believers to deeply understand and be ready to articulate the foundational truths of the Gospel, citing 1 Peter 3:15.
