Preserving The Standard of Jesus and The Apostles - Zac Poonen

Zac Poonen · Jan 22, 2015 · 1h 4m

The speaker emphasizes that the primary focus of the church should be on maintaining purity and quality of its members, rather than merely increasing in numbers. He draws from scripture to argue that while evangelism is important, the internal work of discipleship and guarding against corruption (the 'leaven') is paramount. True Christian living, according to him, is demonstrated by a consistent, godly life throughout the entire week, not just on Sunday.

Revelation On Christ And The Church - Zac Poonen

Zac Poonen · Jan 9, 2015 · 54m

The central message emphasizes that true understanding of scripture, particularly regarding the Church, comes not from mere memorization or intellectual study, but from divine revelation given by the Father. The speaker stresses the difference between knowing something in the mind and receiving a revelation in the heart, citing passages like Matthew 16:18 and John 17:23 to support the necessity of the Holy Spirit's illumination. He advises believers to constantly ask God for revelation to avoid being deceived by superficial understanding.

Brokenness And Fulness Of Faith - Zac Poonen

Zac Poonen · Jan 8, 2015 · 37m

The central message is that building the church must follow God's pattern exactly, as exemplified by the construction of the Tabernacle. The speaker uses examples from scripture, such as David's life and the Ark of the Covenant, to warn against adopting worldly methods, even if they seem more efficient. He concludes that when human methods or the influence of money (Mammon) replace God's ordained way, the glory of God cannot be experienced in the church.

Four Things To Flee From - Zac Poonen

Zac Poonen · Aug 20, 2014 · 1h 2m

The sermon emphasizes that Christian life requires active, personal responsibility to build up the body of Christ, moving beyond passive attendance. Drawing from Ephesians 4, the speaker stresses that every member must function properly, like joints in a body, to support the whole. The key indicator of spiritual life is the active fight against sin, comparing it to the body's natural ability to fight disease; a lack of this internal struggle suggests spiritual death.

The Path To Perfection - Santosh Poonen

Santosh Poonen · Aug 20, 2014 · 20m

The speaker explores the book of Hebrews, noting its systematic exaltation of Jesus Christ as the forerunner into the new covenant. He emphasizes that the greatest pursuit in Christian life is Jesus himself, rather than other spiritual gifts or knowledge. The book builds to the conclusion that the most precious reality is the body of Christ—the local church—where believers find the presence of Jesus.

Three Dangerous Leavens - Zac Poonen

Zac Poonen · Aug 18, 2014 · 1h 0m

The speaker discusses the dangers facing the church, arguing that the greatest threat is not persecution, but subtle deception, which he compares to leaven. He draws parallels from scripture, warning that the church must guard against corrupting its wisdom, witness, and testimony. He specifically warns against the 'leaven of Herod,' which infiltrates those who are already within the church structure, rather than those outside.

Christ Wants a Body -- Not a Congregation - Zac Poonen

Zac Poonen · Jul 19, 2014 · 1h 1m

The central message is that Christ desires a living body of believers, not merely a physical gathering or congregation. The speaker uses scripture to illustrate that God works through people, emphasizing that true Christian life involves mutual connection and interdependence, like bricks cemented together in a building. He warns against the danger of merely gathering like a pile of unconnected bricks, which are easily diminished, contrasting this with the unified structure of the Body of Christ centered on Jesus.

3.Having Authority Over Satan - Zac Poonen

Zac Poonen · Jun 25, 2014 · 1h 10m

Jesus taught that the church built on the confession of Christ is invincible to the powers of spiritual death, provided it has strong, appointed leadership. The speaker emphasizes that the church is meant to be a place of conflict where it always wins by following God's way, and that discipline, as taught in Matthew 18, is a loving process aimed at winning back a brother who has sinned.

Knowing God's Heart - Zac Poonen

Zac Poonen · Jun 18, 2014 · 58m

The central message is that understanding the full purpose of God requires accepting all facets of truth, much like the seven colors of a rainbow must combine to make white. This principle applies to the church, where believers must accept doctrines and people who are different from themselves to reflect the complete glory of God. Ultimately, humility is presented as the necessary thread that allows one to accept all these diverse elements.

Driving Out The Money Changers - Zac Poonen

Zac Poonen · May 22, 2014 · 56m

The central message is that spiritual growth requires changing one's mind to think like Christ, which is demonstrated by understanding the mind of Christ's righteous anger. The speaker uses Jesus' cleansing of the temple and his confrontation with the Pharisees to illustrate that true concern for others' deliverance from sin must overcome self-interest and exploitation, warning against making the church a place of profit.

Three Characteristics Of God's House - Zac Poonen

Zac Poonen · May 22, 2014 · 56m

The speaker outlines three essential characteristics of God's house: the foundation of the Bible and obedience to God's word, the constant fire of the Holy Spirit, and the necessity of reaching out to others rather than focusing on self-benefit. He emphasizes that the 'house' today is the church and its relationships, which must be renovated through forgiveness, reconciliation, and outward focus, mirroring the principles of the Jubilee.

9.Our Work For God - Zac Poonen

Zac Poonen · May 9, 2014 · 58m

Our service to God must flow directly from our worship and walk with Him, avoiding the extremes of neglecting service or neglecting worship. Drawing from John 17:4, the central message is that we glorify God by completing the specific work He has assigned to us. Just as every part of the body has a necessary function, every member of the Body of Christ has a role to fulfill, regardless of whether it is visible or brings public honor.

What The Lord's Table Really Means - Zac Poonen

Zac Poonen · Mar 9, 2014 · 44m

The speaker discusses the significance of observing the Lord's Table, drawing from 1 Corinthians 10 and 11. He emphasizes that participation requires more than just claiming faith; one must demonstrate a life that actively stays away from sin. The observance reminds believers of the cross's dual nature—vertical relationship with God and horizontal fellowship with others—and warns against spiritual deception or betrayal within the body of Christ.

1.Two Churches Babylon And Jerusalem - Zac Poonen

Zac Poonen · Feb 21, 2014 · 57m

The speaker contrasts two ways of life, symbolized by the trees of life and knowledge, and two resulting systems: Babylon and Jerusalem. He argues that the difference between true and false Christianity is not in doctrine, which can be identical, but in the 'fire' of the Holy Spirit, representing power and purity. True spirituality, like David's heart, requires passion and devotion, whereas mere knowledge or correct doctrine without fervor leads to the dead religion of Babylon.

8.The Church As A Burning Bush - Zac Poonen

Zac Poonen · Feb 20, 2014 · 1h 1m

The core message is that God desires a pure testimony, exemplified by Jerusalem, rather than a large, outwardly impressive one. The speaker emphasizes that the church is built on the foundation of the Apostles and Prophets, with Jesus Christ as the perfect Cornerstone. Furthermore, he stresses that a man must establish a godly home life before he can effectively lead or build a church, comparing this standard to the purity required of the burning bush.

Zac Poonen · Feb 1, 2014 · 59m

The speaker discusses the nature of the New Covenant Church, emphasizing that it is a body, not a collection of temporary experiences. He stresses that true understanding of God's truth, including forgiveness and the nature of the church, requires humility and the revelation of the Holy Spirit, rather than just intellectual study. Ultimately, building the church requires devoted unity and commitment, as it is the only thing that will endure.

Building A New Covenant Church: 4.Seeing The Way Of The Cross - Zac Poonen

Zac Poonen · Feb 1, 2014 · 1h 0m

Jesus builds His church according to divine principles, which are distinct from man-made religious structures. The key to building this church is developing a strong 'spiritual immune system' through immersing oneself in God's Word, seeking the Holy Spirit, and maintaining fellowship with godly believers. This strength allows the church to resist the polluting influences of the world and the powers of darkness.

Building A New Covenant Church: 3.Seeing Jesus And The Father - Zac Poonen

Zac Poonen · Feb 1, 2014 · 58m

The true mark of a New Covenant Church is not adherence to specific patterns or doctrines, but the tangible presence and power of Jesus Christ within the fellowship. The speaker uses the analogy of the Tabernacle, emphasizing that the glory of God, not just the physical pattern, was its distinctive feature. He urges listeners to ensure that the presence of Jesus is central in their homes, churches, and personal lives.

Building A New Covenant Church: 2.Revelation Necessary To Build The Church - Zac Poonen

Zac Poonen · Feb 1, 2014 · 57m

The speaker argues that the true nature of the church is not found in buildings or denominations, but in a group of people redeemed by Christ's blood who are disciples. He contrasts the 'old covenant' practices with the 'new covenant' principles established by Jesus, emphasizing that true understanding comes not from study or knowledge, but from divine revelation. This revelation is necessary to live out truths concerning sin, marriage, and the relationship between Christ and the church.
