This transformation requires the Holy Spirit to change our thinking, moving beyond worldly pursuits like money or status toward genuine service and purity. True discipleship involves building a life that reflects Christ's character, not just accepting Him as a foundation.

Zac Poonen · Aug 14, 2014 · 1h 6m · CFC India

The speaker urges Christians to possess the same level of fervent dedication and pursuit of God that people show when seeking visas to the United States. He contrasts this with the moderate approach of some Christians, using the example of Paul's radical commitment to Christ, which was far more intense than the lukewarm stance of others. True discipleship requires a wholehearted commitment to Christ that permeates every aspect of life, resulting in the 'sweet Aroma of Christ' wherever one goes.

All That Jesus Taught (Bible Study – 8 of 80) - Zac Poonen (with Romanian Subtitles)

Zac Poonen · May 20, 2016 · 25m · CFC India

The speaker emphasizes that the Great Commission requires Christians to teach everyone 'every single thing' Jesus commanded, going beyond mere conversion to true discipleship.

This self-emptying was necessary so that Jesus could truly model a life that allows us to follow Him, especially in overcoming temptation.

Drawing heavily from Galatians, he warns against falling into legalism, comparing those who are not truly born again to slaves rather than sons. True discipleship means experiencing the life of the New Covenant, leading to an adoption as sons and daughters, allowing one to cry out 'Abba, Father.'

Zac Poonen · Nov 5, 2010 · 14m · CFC India

The speaker argues that many people who identify as Christians are merely religious rather than truly spiritual.

Righteousness With Peace And Joy - Zac Poonen

Zac Poonen · Sep 7, 2025 · 1h 7m · CFC India

The central message emphasizes that many biblical promises, including provision for earthly needs and eternal rewards, are conditional. To receive God's blessings, one must first seek God's kingdom and righteousness above all else.

Humility, not gifting or status, is the key to eternal reward.

Jesus came to earth not only to die for our sins but also to provide an example of how to live a life worthy of eternity.

He concludes by warning against false prophets who teach that the commands of scripture are optional.

Zac Poonen · Feb 11, 2015 · 24m · CFC India

The sermon uses the account of Jesus calming the storm to teach that true discipleship requires overcoming the fear of death, which the speaker identifies as the highest form of slavery. Jesus's death, according to the speaker, was not only to forgive sins but also to render Satan powerless and deliver humanity from the fear of death. Overcoming this fear is achieved not through mental effort, but through receiving God's deliverance by faith.

Through The Bible - Tamil - 30 (Hosea & Joel) by Zac Poonen

Zac Poonen · Apr 6, 2013 · 50m · CFC India

The central message is that God's love for His people, like His love for Hosea's wife, is enduring and compassionate, even when they stray. True discipleship requires a deep, loving relationship with Christ, and the speaker emphasizes that the Bible is the necessary knowledge to discern truth from false teaching.

Zac Poonen · Jan 31, 2014 · 58m · CFC India

The speaker argues that a true Christian life, exemplified by Jesus' baptism, requires three continuous elements: living with 'heavens open,' being filled with the Holy Spirit, and hearing God's voice affirming pleasure. He critiques modern Christianity for replacing this genuine walk with mere titles, rituals like tithing, or prosperity gospel. True discipleship involves daily submission to self-denial, mirroring Christ's willingness to be buried and raised.

Zac Poonen · Jan 14, 2015 · 26m · CFC India

True discipleship requires a desperate, all-consuming desire for God's will, not just a convenient adherence to rules.
