All That Jesus Taught (Bible Study – 5 of 80) - Zac Poonen

Zac Poonen · Dec 26, 2014 · 25m

The central message is that Christian teaching must be rooted in personal experience; one must 'do' what Jesus commanded before teaching others to do it. The speaker emphasizes that true discipleship requires lived obedience, warning against hypocrisy in preaching. He uses examples from the Great Commission, the Gospel of Luke, and the story of Cornelius to illustrate that we are only permitted to teach what we have personally experienced.

All That Jesus Taught (Bible Study – 4 of 80) - Zac Poonen

Zac Poonen · Dec 26, 2014 · 25m

The sermon emphasizes that fulfilling the Great Commission requires equal attention to both evangelism (reaching the lost) and discipleship (teaching them to obey all that Jesus commanded). The speaker argues that while evangelism is exciting and measurable, discipleship—the process of making converts into functioning members of the body of Christ—is arguably more faithful and vital. He uses the analogy of food digestion to illustrate that initial conversion is insufficient; true transformation requires ongoing teaching and spiritual development.

All That Jesus Taught (Bible Study – 3 of 80) - Zac Poonen

Zac Poonen · Dec 26, 2014 · 25m

The sermon emphasizes that making disciples requires teaching people to *do* everything Jesus commanded, not just knowing about it. The speaker draws a distinction between merely teaching knowledge and teaching practical obedience, using the example of swimming. He warns against selectively obeying commandments, citing Jesus' warning that canceling even the least commandment can result in being considered 'least in the Kingdom of Heaven.'

All That Jesus Taught (Bible Study – 2 of 80) - Zac Poonen

Zac Poonen · Dec 26, 2014 · 25m

The speaker emphasizes that the Great Commission requires two parts: preaching the gospel and making disciples. True discipleship demands a total commitment to Christ, far beyond mere forgiveness or baptism. Baptism is only meaningful if the individual has first understood and accepted the absolute claims of discipleship—the willingness to die to one's own will. Furthermore, baptism must correctly acknowledge the Triune God: the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

All That Jesus Taught (Bible Study – 1 of 80) - Zac Poonen

Zac Poonen · Dec 26, 2014 · 26m

The speaker contrasts two parts of the Great Commission: evangelism (Mark 16:15) and making disciples (Matthew 28:19). He argues that most Christians focus only on evangelism, neglecting the deeper call to discipleship. True discipleship requires two things: a supreme love for Christ that surpasses all earthly relationships, and the daily willingness to deny oneself and carry one's own cross, which means crucifying one's own self-will daily.

Sanjay Poonen · Dec 22, 2014 · 1h 11m

The speaker distinguishes between merely 'knowing about' Jesus and truly 'knowing' Jesus, emphasizing that true knowledge involves an intimacy akin to a marital bond. He uses scripture, particularly John 6, to illustrate that even among large crowds who knew facts about Jesus, only a select few possessed genuine, deep knowledge. The central message is a call to pursue this profound intimacy with Christ, which is described as the essence of eternal life.

Recognizing Jesus While Breaking Bread - Zac Poonen

Zac Poonen · Dec 10, 2014 · 24m

The speaker analyzes the significance of the 'breaking of bread' in Acts 2, noting it was a regular practice alongside teaching, fellowship, and prayer. He cautions that like baptism, it can become a mere ritual rather than a genuine spiritual act. The sermon emphasizes that true Christian life requires deep repentance and understanding of scripture, using the disciples' misunderstanding of Jesus's mission as an example of needing correction.

Following in Jesus Footsteps - Zac Poonen (Tamil)

Zac Poonen · Dec 4, 2014 · 1h 3m

The speaker argues that Christians should not measure their faith by external miracles, like those performed in the Old Testament, but rather by living a life so Christ-centered that the devil has no place in it. Following Jesus means emulating His life—His ministry and character—rather than just mimicking His powerful works. True Christian service is demonstrated through endurance, hardship, and proclaiming the gospel despite suffering.

Religiosity and Spirituality - Zac Poonen

Zac Poonen · Sep 7, 2014 · 47m

The speaker distinguishes between religiosity, which he equates with the work of the devil, and spirituality, which is the work of the Holy Spirit. He uses the Pharisees and Jesus as examples, noting that while the religious outwardly appeared devout, Jesus demonstrated true spirituality. True spirituality is characterized by a genuine reliance on the Holy Spirit's word, which acts like a diagnostic scan revealing truth. Ultimately, the speaker emphasizes that true Christianity is tested not by external acts, but by one's attitude toward sin.

Zac Poonen · Sep 3, 2014 · 57m

The speaker emphasizes that while we are saved from sin, we must also be saved from the 'poison of accusing one another.'

BUILDING THE BODY OF CHRIST: 3.The First Body Of Christ - Zac Poonen (Hindi)

Zac Poonen · Sep 3, 2014 · 56m

The central message is that true preaching must be rooted in personal experience and authority, mirroring Jesus Christ's ministry.

BUILDING THE BODY OF CHRIST: 2.Jesus Is Our Example - Zac Poonen (Hindi)

Zac Poonen · Sep 3, 2014 · 57m

The central message is that the Church is called the Body of Christ because Jesus Christ was the first manifestation of God's glory on earth. The primary purpose of the Church is not merely to perform good works or preach, but to reveal what God is like, mirroring Christ's own life. Furthermore, the speaker warns against a misunderstanding of the Holy Spirit, emphasizing that true believers must be fully dedicated to holiness, as partial commitment allows sin and unholy influences to pollute the inner life.

True Revival - Sunil Poonen

Sunil Poonen · Aug 28, 2014 · 11m

The central message is a warning against allowing anything—be it career, family, ministry, or even personal righteousness—to take the place of God in our hearts, which constitutes idolatry. The speaker uses the contrast between Solomon's focus on building the Temple versus spending more time building his own palace, and the example of David's desire to dwell in God's presence, to illustrate that our ultimate priority must be 100% devotion to God alone. He challenges the audience to examine what consumes their thoughts and attention to ensure God remains the sole focus.

Being Full Of Faith - Zac Poonen

Zac Poonen · Aug 27, 2014 · 59m

To remain consistently filled with the Holy Spirit, one must actively desire it, which requires valuing God above all else. This desire must be coupled with faith, meaning one trusts God to work in their life. Furthermore, maintaining this spiritual life requires keeping one's conscience clear by immediately confessing sin, and practicing humility by going down in the world rather than defending oneself.
