Lo que DIOS piensa de tu exterior - Zac Ponnen (with Spanish subtitles)
Zac Poonen · Mar 22, 2017 · 30m
The central message is that God judges the heart, not the outward appearance, citing 1 Samuel 16:7. The speaker contrasts the outward religion of the Old Covenant with the inward focus required by the New Testament, emphasizing that true righteousness must surpass mere adherence to external rules, such as those practiced by the Pharisees. He stresses that internal sins, like anger or lust (especially through pornography), are just as damning as physical transgressions.

Remembering Jesus In The Breaking Of Bread - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Mar 9, 2017 · 16m
The sermon uses the Lord's Supper narrative to warn against spiritual complacency and betrayal. The speaker emphasizes that true discipleship requires constant self-examination, urging listeners to always ask, "Lord, is it I?" Genuine repentance, marked by deep sorrow for sin, is contrasted with mere restitution or intellectual acknowledgment of wrongdoing. Daily repentance is presented as the active process of striving to become more like Christ, which is the difference between eternal life and damnation.

Question and Answer Session - Zac Poonen

All Our Children Belong To The Lord - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jan 30, 2017 · 7m
