All That Jesus Taught (Bible Study – 38 of 80) - Zac Poonen (with Romanian Subtitles)
Zac Poonen · Nov 11, 2019 · 24m
The sermon uses the story of the two blind men to illustrate the principle that receiving blessings from God is based on faith, not on desire or ability. The speaker emphasizes that believers must be specific in their prayers and, more importantly, must trust in God's power to act, even when the request seems impossible. Ultimately, what a person receives from God is measured by the measure of their faith.

All That Jesus Taught (Bible Study – 37 of 80) - Zac Poonen (with Romanian Subtitles)
Zac Poonen · Nov 11, 2019 · 24m
The sermon emphasizes that Christian life, particularly in the New Covenant, is guided by the Holy Spirit's leading rather than rigid adherence to rules or laws. Jesus demonstrated this by being willing to interrupt his planned activities for those in need, yet he also knew when to decline invitations to fulfill God's greater purpose. Believers must learn to discern which calls to respond to, living by the principle of Christ's witness rather than legalistic observance.

All That Jesus Taught (Bible Study – 36 of 80) - Zac Poonen (with Romanian Subtitles)
Zac Poonen · Nov 11, 2019 · 24m
The speaker analyzes Jesus' calling of Matthew, noting that Jesus called him directly from his place of work. He argues that this pattern—calling people from their established jobs—serves as a test of genuine commitment, as sacrificing a stable income requires a deeper conviction than simply being unemployed. Furthermore, the speaker suggests that having experience in secular employment prepares one for the real-world pressures and struggles that ministry often entails.

All That Jesus Taught (Bible Study – 35 of 80) - Zac Poonen (with Romanian Subtitles)
Zac Poonen · Nov 11, 2019 · 24m
The speaker emphasizes that the power to cast out demons comes not from elaborate rituals like screaming, yelling, or prolonged fasting, but from faith. He cites scripture to show that when disciples struggled, Jesus pointed out their lack of faith, not their lack of prayer or fasting. Furthermore, he cautions against false teachings that require confessing healing when one is not fully healed, stressing that honesty before God is paramount. True authority comes from submitting to God first, then resisting the devil, which leads to the demon fleeing.

Zac Poonen · Nov 11, 2019 · 24m
The sermon uses the account of Jesus calming the storm to illustrate that true discipleship requires overcoming the fear of death, which is described as a form of slavery. Jesus died not only to forgive sins but also to render Satan powerless and deliver humanity from the fear of death. Believers are encouraged to approach life's crises not with panic, but with faith, trusting in Christ's power to calm every storm.

Continuing In God's Kindness - Ian Robson
Ian Robson · Oct 25, 2019 · 53m
The speaker urges listeners to take heed of biblical warnings, especially as the end times approach, to avoid repeating the mistakes of previous generations. He emphasizes deep study of the Book of Romans, as it systematically explains the gospel—justification by faith, victory over sin, and receiving the Holy Spirit—leading to the ultimate state where Satan is under our feet. The core message is to maintain gratitude and avoid spiritual complacency, recognizing that God's kindness is meant to lead us to repentance.

This shift in attention is beneficial to us, allowing us access to God's presence and delivering us from discouragement. The sermon emphasizes that praising God is a constant obligation, exemplified throughout scripture after answered prayers and in times of great need.

The central message is that the world must know that God loves humanity as much as He loved Jesus, drawing from John 17:23. The speaker emphasizes that the New Covenant relationship allows believers to approach God intimately, calling Him 'Dad' privately, unlike the Old Covenant practices.

Charles Banna · Sep 17, 2019 · 48m
True, everlasting joy and peace are found not in worldly pursuits but in Jesus Christ, who is the fountain of life and joy.

Ian Robson · Sep 16, 2019 · 52m
The sermon emphasizes that all of God's promises are reliable and 'yes' through Christ, urging believers to approach scripture with faith. It stresses that merely hearing the word is insufficient; the promise must be united by genuine faith to be profitable, drawing parallels to the Israelites in the wilderness.

The Church That Christ Is Building - Charles Banna
Charles Banna · Aug 29, 2019 · 46m
Jesus's core message, summarized in the Sermon on the Mount, emphasizes that true discipleship requires not just hearing God's word, but actively acting upon and obeying it. Those who build their lives on this solid foundation will endure life's trials, while those who only hear the word without practice will find their lives collapse. The speaker also warns against false prophets who preach only parts of the gospel, urging listeners to examine the fruit—the character and life—of their teachings.

What It Means To Be The Light Of The World - Zac Poonen

True Christian living is measured not by public testimony, but by one's private conduct before God and Satan.

Zac Poonen · Jul 15, 2019 · 1h 56m
The speaker discusses John Bunyan's 'Pilgrim's Progress,' highlighting that the book's enduring popularity stems from its message.
