The Promise Of The Holy Spirit - Ian Robson

Ian Robson · Sep 16, 2019 · 52m

The sermon emphasizes that all of God's promises are reliable and 'yes' through Christ, urging believers to approach scripture with faith. It stresses that merely hearing the word is insufficient; the promise must be united by genuine faith to be profitable, drawing parallels to the Israelites in the wilderness. True repentance requires more than just confessing sin to God; it demands making full restitution to those wronged, building a deep foundation in Christ.

The Message of Pilgrim's Progress (In Tamil) - Zac Poonen

Zac Poonen · Jul 15, 2019 · 1h 56m

The speaker discusses John Bunyan's 'Pilgrim's Progress,' highlighting that the book's enduring popularity stems from its message. A key theme is the necessity of having a sensitive conscience, as feeling a 'burden of sin' is prerequisite for recognizing the need for salvation through Jesus Christ. If one does not feel remorse for wrongdoing, they cannot be saved.

The Message of "Pilgrim's Progress" (for Children) - Zac Poonen

Zac Poonen · Jun 6, 2019 · 1h 1m

The sermon uses 'Pilgrim's Progress' to illustrate the Christian journey, emphasizing that true salvation begins with recognizing a 'burden of sin' and repenting. The speaker warns against those who lack a sensitive conscience, those who are stubborn, or those who are compromisers, all of whom can derail the journey toward Christ. Ultimately, the path to salvation is through belief in Jesus Christ, not through good works or worldly cleverness.

Seek To Walk The Narrow Way Always - Zac Poonen

Zac Poonen · Jun 5, 2019 · 54m

The speaker emphasizes that every life is divinely planned, referencing Psalm 139 to assure listeners that their existence is not an accident. He encourages the audience to realize that true conversion requires a radical, 180-degree change in ambition, moving beyond selfish motives like seeking worldly success or merely avoiding hell. This profound shift in focus is necessary to walk the narrow way toward God's ultimate purpose.

Zac Poonen · Jan 11, 2019 · 7m

The speaker emphasizes that salvation requires both repentance and faith, comparing them to two necessary wires for electricity to flow. He urges listeners to move beyond superficial piety, calling for a desperate passion to be filled with the Holy Spirit and a deep hatred for sin. The message concludes by discussing grace, arguing that it is not unmerited favor but rather something earned through humility, which draws the spirit of grace like water flows to the lowest place.

The Perils Of Unbelief - Ian Robson

Ian Robson · Nov 13, 2018 · 53m

The central message is that entering into God's prepared life of rest hinges entirely on believing, which the speaker defines as a 'reckless abandon' to Jesus. Unbelief, conversely, is the root cause of disobedience, preventing us from entering this rest. The speaker urges the listeners to heed the Holy Spirit's voice daily, confessing and humbling themselves to avoid hardening their hearts.

From Hero To Zero And Hero Again - Charles Banna

The sermon uses biblical examples, such as Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Moses, Rahab, and Samson, to illustrate that God's mercy restores even those who have fallen from grace.

The central message is that no one is beyond God's forgiveness and restoration.

All That Jesus Taught (Bible Study – 26 of 80) - Zac Poonen (with Romanian Subtitles)

Zac Poonen · Sep 24, 2018 · 24m

The sermon interprets Jesus' warning, "Do not give that which is holy to dogs," not as a literal dismissal of people, but as a principle regarding who can appreciate spiritual truth. The speaker emphasizes that the message of repentance—that humanity is sinful and deserves God's grace—is what non-believers need to hear. A true Christian's focus should be on heavenly things, unlike animals whose interests are purely earthly.

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.

Breaking Of Bread - A Two Fold Testimony - Zac Poonen

Zac Poonen · Feb 2, 2018 · 32m

The sermon focuses on the institution of the Lord's Supper, comparing it to the Passover and emphasizing that the breaking of bread is fundamentally an expression of an earnest desire for fellowship with Christ. The speaker warns that participating in this ritual without a genuine desire to confess and give up sin is dangerous, as it amounts to crucifying Christ again by rejecting the atonement for sin. True participation requires acknowledging one's unworthiness and focusing on sin's removal, not merely a desire for heavenly reward.

Be Ready For Christ's Return - Zac Poonen

Zac Poonen · Jan 18, 2018 · 1h 2m

The speaker warns that the signs of Christ's return are evident, and the Lord's patience is directed specifically toward believers, not the whole world. He emphasizes that the Lord is waiting for believers to come to repentance, particularly regarding unresolved issues and unforgiveness within the church. The core message is that God's patience has a limit, urging listeners to self-examine and confess their sins immediately to avoid being unprepared at the Lord's coming.

Five Warnings The Lord Gives - Zac Poonen

Zac Poonen · Sep 18, 2017 · 1h 6m

The Lord's last message to the churches, according to Revelation, is a call to repent, which is a message of warning. The speaker analyzes the weaknesses found in the five churches, noting that even good works and perseverance are rendered meaningless if the first love for Jesus Christ is lost. True discipleship requires worshiping Christ first, and believers must guard against letting worldly comforts or activities overshadow a pure devotion to Him.

How The Work In CFC Began - Zac Poonen

Zac Poonen · Sep 12, 2017 · 1h 26m

The speaker emphasizes that true prophecy, as seen in figures like Jeremiah and John the Baptist, is not about predicting the future but calling God's people back to repentance. He urges listeners to return to the Bible and emulate the preaching style of Jesus and the Apostles, warning against modern trends that deviate from this original teaching. Ultimately, the message is to contend earnestly for the pure faith delivered by Jesus and the Apostles.

8.True Repentance - Zac Poonen

Zac Poonen · Aug 4, 2017 · 25m

The speaker emphasizes that God allows trials and temptations because they build spiritual strength, assuring listeners that no trial will exceed their ability to bear. He stresses that the Gospel requires both repentance (turning away from sin) and faith, warning against preaching only one aspect, as both are necessary for a proper Christian experience. Repentance is defined as the primary step of turning away from everything except God.

The Kingdom Of God And The Kingdom Of Darkness - Charles Banna

Charles Banna · Jul 20, 2017 · 48m

The sermon distinguishes between two kingdoms: the visible kingdom of this world, ruled by Satan, and the invisible Kingdom of God. Entering this divine kingdom requires repentance, as emphasized by John the Baptist and Jesus Christ. Qualification for this kingdom involves being 'born again' spiritually, which means acknowledging one's sinfulness and selfishness, and being poor in spirit—recognizing one's spiritual bankruptcy before God.

Learning To Reverence God - Newton

CFC Messages · Jul 4, 2017 · 53m

The central message is the necessity of cultivating a deep reverence for God, which is more than mere fear. The speaker outlines four practical ways to test and grow in this reverence: departing from evil (like Job), hating sin and pride (as commanded by Proverbs), hating lies and unrighteousness, and maintaining purity in one's life. True reverence leads to confession, growth, and victory in sin.

7) Those Who Give God Their Best - Zac Poonen

Zac Poonen · Jun 2, 2017 · 1h 9m

The speaker uses the story of Cain and Abel to teach that God accepts offerings based on the heart's attitude, not the offering itself. He emphasizes that giving God's very best, motivated by gratitude, is what matters most. Furthermore, he draws a parallel to Matthew 5, teaching that reconciliation with one's brother must happen before any offering can be accepted by God.

6) Building A Body And A Family - Zac Poonen

Zac Poonen · Jun 2, 2017 · 1h 16m

The central message emphasizes that true Christian life, beginning in the local church and home, requires more than just belief; it demands self-denial and sacrifice in relationships. Salvation is received through repentance—simply turning around to accept God's free gift—and faith, which is reaching out to take it. Furthermore, abiding in Christ means actively walking in the manner He walked, as taught by John in 1 John 2:6.

Our Destination Is Christlikeness - Zac Poonen

Zac Poonen · May 17, 2017 · 1h 9m

The Christian life is not a single event but a continuous journey with a defined destination. The true destination, according to scripture, is not a physical place like heaven, but spiritual transformation: becoming conformed to the image of Christ. This destination is predestined by God, meaning He knew it before time began. Therefore, the Christian life requires actively pursuing Christlikeness through repentance and following God's intended path.

Born Again Through Repentance And Faith - Zac Poonen

Zac Poonen · Apr 27, 2017 · 1h 12m

The speaker analyzes Revelation 3, arguing that the message of Jesus standing at the door is primarily directed to the church elders, not unbelievers. He emphasizes that understanding scripture requires reading contextually, not in isolated verses. A key teaching point is that God's love is demonstrated through reproof and discipline, citing Revelation 3:19, which he contrasts with the common misconception that love only involves positive affirmation.

Baptism And Freedom From Sin - Zac Poonen

Zac Poonen · Mar 16, 2017 · 38m

The central message emphasizes that true Christian life requires moving beyond mere activity or fellowship to a deep, personal devotion to Jesus Christ, which is symbolized by passing through the veil of death to self. The speaker stresses that believers should not accept a pattern of continuous sinning, comparing it to a child who cannot walk after a certain age. Freedom from sin is achieved through a genuine conversion and being filled with the Holy Spirit, not just through outward church attendance.

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.
