Never Forgotten, Never Forsaken - Charles Banna
Charles Banna · Sep 11, 2018 · 47m
The sermon contrasts the faith displayed in the Old Covenant with the believer's experience in the New Covenant. The speaker uses examples like Job, Joseph, and David to show that even great men often complained or doubted God during trials. In contrast, the New Covenant promises that all things work together for good, exemplified by Joseph's faithfulness even in slavery and prison, demonstrating that God's presence makes any circumstance a place of blessing.

God Causes Growth When We Are Connected To The Head - Jesus - Ian Robson
Ian Robson · Sep 7, 2018 · 40m
The central message is that true spiritual growth comes only from maintaining a direct connection with Jesus Christ, the Head, rather than from church activities, doctrines, or even gifted teachers. The speaker warns against having a 'form of godliness without the power' and emphasizes that believers must focus on their personal relationship with Jesus, as illustrated by Paul's teaching that God, not the teacher or the institution, causes the growth.

God's Perfect Plan For Your Life - Charles Banna
Charles Banna · Sep 7, 2018 · 47m
God has a detailed and perfect plan for every individual, established even before birth, which is for welfare and hope, not calamity. Believers should trust this divine plan rather than trying to plan their own futures. Furthermore, Christians are called to live each day as a gift, focusing on the present moment rather than worrying about an uncertain tomorrow, and to diligently teach God's Word to their children.

The Congregation, The Club And The Church - Santosh Poonen
Santosh Poonen · Aug 22, 2018 · 58m
The speaker emphasizes that building the church requires a radical, sacrificial commitment, likened to shedding every layer of the 'old wineskin.' True Christian life, according to the speaker, must be rooted first in an unadulterated love and obedience to the Father. This foundational relationship with God (the vertical beam of the cross) must precede and motivate all love for people or ministry (the horizontal beam).

Presenting The Church As A Virgin To Christ - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Aug 17, 2018 · 1h 0m
The central message is that the ultimate goal of ministry is to present the church as a pure virgin to Christ, drawing from 2 Corinthians 11:2. The speaker emphasizes that this requires the elder to bear a deep, protective burden, similar to Abraham's servant protecting Rebecca. He warns against spiritual deception, particularly the worship of a 'another Jesus' who is not fully God and fully man, and discusses the mystery of Christ and the church becoming one flesh, contrasting this with the spirit of harlotry and the Antichrist's deception.

The Way To Astonishing Faith - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Aug 8, 2018 · 1h 0m
Jesus was astonished twice: first by the unbelief of his own people in Nazareth, and second by the faith of a Centurion who, despite his background, trusted Jesus's word completely. The speaker emphasizes that genuine faith, which is a total confidence and dependence on God, is rooted in humility—recognizing one's unworthiness before God. This humility is presented as the necessary first step toward true worship and faith.

Revelation On God’s Mysteries - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Aug 8, 2018 · 59m
The speaker argues that true spiritual understanding requires diligent personal study, not just hearing messages, because mere knowledge does not change a life. He warns that many believers live in hypocrisy, characterized by a lack of fear of God and a failure to repent for careless words, citing Romans 3:18. True spiritual growth, he asserts, is marked by increasing self-awareness of sin, a deep desire for daily repentance, and a longing to become more like Christ.

Life And Fellowship - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Aug 8, 2018 · 1h 0m
The central message emphasizes that true devotion to Christ means loving God with all your heart, making Jesus everything in life, to the point where worldly gains or losses have no impact on joy. The speaker draws from 1 Corinthians 2, suggesting that the Holy Spirit reveals God's thoughts, and true discipleship requires adopting the 'mind of Christ'—valuing people and God above money, comfort, or worldly achievements.

The Difference Between The Old And The New - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Aug 8, 2018 · 58m
The speaker warns that in the end times, Christians face dangers from both worldly persecution and internal deception within Christianity. He emphasizes that the greatest danger is deception, which can be overcome only by being filled with the Holy Spirit, not by following counterfeits. True devotion means obeying God's commandments, even the seemingly small ones, and recognizing that living under grace means sin cannot rule over you, unlike those who are under the law.

God Wants Messengers To Share His Burden (Mal 1:1) - Ian Robson
Ian Robson · Aug 6, 2018 · 49m
The speaker draws from Malachi 1:1 and Isaiah 60 to warn the church against spiritual slumber and complacency. He emphasizes that God's call is for the church to remain vigilant, recognizing that God's worship and honor are global, not limited to one place. The central message is a call to maintain a 'hidden life' with God, ensuring that the spiritual gifts and knowledge received do not lead to spiritual sleepiness.

God Longs To Have Fellowship With Us - Charles Banna
Charles Banna · Jul 31, 2018 · 58m
The central message is that God desires deep fellowship with humanity, which is why He breathed the breath of life into man, unlike other creatures. Sin caused this fellowship to break, but God's heart remains longing for connection. The sermon highlights examples like Enoch and Noah who walked closely with God, and assures that God's eyes are constantly searching the earth to find hearts fully committed to Him.

God Rejoices Over Humble And Lowly People (Zeph 3:12,13 & 17) - Ian Robson
Ian Robson · Jul 25, 2018 · 1h 1m
The sermon encourages deep meditation on the Book of Zephaniah, particularly contrasting the coming judgment of the Day of the Lord with the promise that God will rejoice over His people. The central message is that believers should not fear anything because God is in their midst as a victorious warrior, leading to a life lived in humble reliance on God's Word rather than self-pride or false hope.

God Created Man To Subdue And Rule - Charles Banna
Charles Banna · Jul 24, 2018 · 53m
God's original intention for humanity was for man to rule over the earth, subduing all creatures, both in nature and in sin. This principle extends from Adam's initial mandate to Cain's struggle against sin, and later to the Christian life, where believers are called to conquer and rule over their internal desires and lusts. The speaker emphasizes that with God's support, believers can overcome all spiritual enemies, just as Israel was commanded to conquer all inhabitants of the land.

The Old Man, The Old Covenant And The New Covenant - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jul 24, 2018 · 1h 10m
The speaker emphasizes that Jesus Christ, not the Old Covenant law, is the means by which God's people enter their full inheritance in the New Covenant life. He defines sin as anything contrary to the life of Jesus, arguing that all humanity has sinned by falling short of the perfect life Jesus lived. The core message is that believers must press on toward Christlikeness, recognizing that while forgiveness was available before, salvation from sin and eternal separation from God is achieved through Christ's sacrifice.

The Narrow Way To Life - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jul 24, 2018 · 44m
Jesus taught that the path to life is the narrow way, contrasting it with the broad way that leads to destruction. This narrow path requires internal transformation, focusing on what God thinks of our hearts, rather than merely adhering to external rules like the Ten Commandments. The speaker emphasizes that true discipleship involves guarding against internal sins like anger and lust, which are often overlooked in modern preaching.

The Example Of Two Good Mothers - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jul 24, 2018 · 28m
The speaker discusses the importance of dedicating children to God, drawing parallels between the Old Testament dedication of firstborn sons and the New Covenant understanding where all children are equally dedicated to the Lord. He emphasizes that raising godly children is a profound act of faith, citing the example of Moses' parents who protected him from Pharaoh's decree. Ultimately, the message stresses that parents bear the primary responsibility for guiding their children in the ways of God.

God Strongly Supports Those Who Have Faith In Him (2 Chronicles 16:9) - Ian Robson
Ian Robson · Jul 23, 2018 · 34m
The sermon contrasts the initial faithfulness of King Asa with his later reliance on worldly things rather than God. The speaker emphasizes that God's eyes are constantly looking for those whose hearts are completely devoted to Him. True faith means maintaining trust in God through all circumstances—success, difficulty, and decline—to ensure a faithful end.

Old Covenant Christian or New Covenant Christian ? - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jul 13, 2018 · 54m
The speaker contrasts the 'Old Covenant' and 'New Covenant' understanding of Christianity, emphasizing that true Christian life involves possessing the full inheritance purchased by Christ. He stresses that the mark of the New Covenant is having a heart of genuine humility, viewing others as more important than oneself, which is a difficult but necessary step. The message concludes by urging listeners to stop seeking fulfillment in worldly things like profession, money, or fame, and instead to seek God wholeheartedly, trusting in His plan for their lives.

Folly Of Worry - Charles Banna
Charles Banna · May 25, 2018 · 25m
The central message is a warning against the folly of worry, which the speaker asserts is a grave sin that robs joy and weakens health. Drawing from Matthew 6, the sermon emphasizes that instead of worrying about daily needs like food or clothing, believers should seek first God's kingdom and righteousness. The speaker concludes by noting that each day has enough trouble of its own, and tomorrow is a mystery that God will take care of.

When God Seems Silent - Charles Banna
Charles Banna · May 24, 2018 · 27m
The sermon explores what to do when God seems silent, drawing from Psalms and the Book of Job. It argues that true worship is not merely emotional praise or ritual, but something that costs the individual something. The speaker emphasizes that when facing deep distress, one's response—like Job's declaration that 'the Lord gave and the Lord has taken away'—reveals true faith, which is deeper than mere feeling.

Scoffing Makes Fetters Stronger - Charles Banna
Charles Banna · May 24, 2018 · 38m
The sermon explores the danger of scoffing, drawing from Psalm 1, which contrasts the blessed life of the righteous with the paths of the wicked, sinners, and scoffers. The speaker identifies two main groups of scoffers: those who mock authorities or God's messengers (like the boys mocking Elisha), and the arrogant who scoff at things they do not understand. Ultimately, the message warns that God's patience has limits, citing examples like the Ark and Sodom, and encourages delighting in God's Word instead of mocking truth.

Living By Sincere Faith - Anand Thomas
Anand Thomas · May 24, 2018 · 25m
The central message is the necessity of cultivating a living and sincere faith, which involves unwavering dependence on the Lord through all life's trials. The speaker contrasts trusting in man or flesh, which leads to spiritual barrenness, with trusting in the Lord, which results in enduring strength like a tree by water. Examples from scripture, including Peter's declaration to Jesus and Peter walking on water, illustrate that true faith requires stepping out in trust based on Jesus' word.

God's Weakness vs Man's Strength - Charles Banna
Charles Banna · May 18, 2018 · 32m
The sermon contrasts human strength and limited understanding with the infinite power and superior ways of God. The speaker emphasizes that human efforts, no matter how great, are temporary and cannot achieve eternal value without God's involvement. God works through limitations, using processes like fire and water to refine His servants, as seen in the examples of Moses, Jacob, Gideon, and David, proving that God's methods are far beyond human comprehension.
