The speaker advises that the root cause for the downfall of seemingly godly men is almost always hidden pride, which can be subtle even when the person appears humble. He warns against being fooled by outward appearances of humility, as God sees the heart. Ultimately, people often leave the church not because of spiritual failure, but because they feel unappreciated, lacking the honor or position they desired.

The central message addresses the struggle with pornography, advising the listener to 'flee from immorality' as instructed in 1 Corinthians 6:18. Practical advice includes immediately stopping the activity, changing focus by doing something else, and physically limiting access by using computers in public areas or keeping doors open so that others can see what is being viewed.

The speaker advises that the purpose of an apology is to restore a relationship, not to make things worse. He suggests that if the person is married, it is best to avoid contacting them entirely. If the situation is more recent and the person is not married, a brief contact to apologize for the sin and ask for forgiveness is recommended, but the conversation should be kept short.

The Root Of Sin And Of Salvation - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jan 14, 2020 · 1h 8m
The speaker argues that the root of all sin originates from the pride described in Ezekiel 28:17, where a being's heart was lifted up. This pride, which stems from comparison, is what God opposes, making humility the necessary antidote. Salvation, conversely, is found in adopting the attitude described in Philippians 2:5—having the mind of Christ—which is the opposite of sin's root.

Warnings From The Original Sin - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jan 14, 2020 · 1h 10m
The speaker urges regular spiritual self-examination, comparing it to annual physical checkups. He emphasizes that while physical health and education are important, neglecting the spirit makes a person like an animal. Drawing from Genesis, he points out that the unique element of humanity, distinguishing us from animals, is the spirit, which grants a conscience and an awareness of God, allowing us to look up to God rather than being preoccupied only with earthly matters.

God's Warnings Against Pride - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Nov 20, 2019 · 1h 13m
The central message is a warning against pride, emphasizing that God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble. The speaker draws parallels from church history, noting that decline often sets in when groups become proud of their achievements or status. True humility, regardless of wealth or success, is what matters, as exemplified by the two thieves on the cross. The ultimate goal of humility is to be exalted over sin, not over people or worldly achievements.

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.

Conscience Makes Us Different From Animals | Zac Poonen | Kannada
Zac Poonen · Dec 21, 2018 · 1h 16m
The sermon uses Genesis 1 and 3 to illustrate that while the devil constantly tries to spoil God's perfect work through sin and pride, God always restores it. A key takeaway is that when things go wrong, humanity has a tendency to point fingers at others rather than taking responsibility. The speaker concludes by emphasizing that God will always take the side of His people against the devil, regardless of their sins.

Breaking Of Bread - A Celebration - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Dec 13, 2018 · 16m
The speaker emphasizes that Christian gatherings, like breaking bread, should always be marked by a spirit of celebration because of the resurrection of Jesus. He contrasts the initial disciples' gloom before the resurrection with the joy of the early church, urging listeners to live with the hope that nothing God cannot solve. True gloom should only exist over unconfessed sin, unresolved conflict, or unaccepted correction, not over general life circumstances.

The Three Floors Of The Christian Building - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Dec 6, 2018 · 37m
The speaker outlines a three-story model for Christian life, starting with the foundation: God's perfect love, which provides security and freedom from discouragement. The second story is a personal devotion to Jesus Christ, viewing Him as a friend and bridegroom. The third story is maintaining a clear conscience and achieving victory over sin, which requires a deep longing (thirst) and true faith that God is more eager to give His promises than we are to receive them.

All That Jesus Taught (Bible Study – 28 of 80) - Zac Poonen (with Romanian Subtitles)
Zac Poonen · Sep 24, 2018 · 25m
The sermon emphasizes the critical importance of taking Jesus' teachings, particularly the Sermon on the Mount, seriously. Jesus taught that the way to life is a narrow gate, contrasting it with the broad path leading to destruction through uncontrolled sin like anger and lust. The speaker warns against false prophets who dilute Scripture, making the path seem easier than what Christ commanded.

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.

The Difference Between The Old And The New - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Aug 8, 2018 · 58m
The speaker warns that in the end times, Christians face dangers from both worldly persecution and internal deception within Christianity. He emphasizes that the greatest danger is deception, which can be overcome only by being filled with the Holy Spirit, not by following counterfeits. True devotion means obeying God's commandments, even the seemingly small ones, and recognizing that living under grace means sin cannot rule over you, unlike those who are under the law.

The Narrow Way To Life - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jul 24, 2018 · 44m
Jesus taught that the path to life is the narrow way, contrasting it with the broad way that leads to destruction. This narrow path requires internal transformation, focusing on what God thinks of our hearts, rather than merely adhering to external rules like the Ten Commandments. The speaker emphasizes that true discipleship involves guarding against internal sins like anger and lust, which are often overlooked in modern preaching.

Scoffing Makes Fetters Stronger - Charles Banna
Charles Banna · May 24, 2018 · 38m
The sermon explores the danger of scoffing, drawing from Psalm 1, which contrasts the blessed life of the righteous with the paths of the wicked, sinners, and scoffers. The speaker identifies two main groups of scoffers: those who mock authorities or God's messengers (like the boys mocking Elisha), and the arrogant who scoff at things they do not understand. Ultimately, the message warns that God's patience has limits, citing examples like the Ark and Sodom, and encourages delighting in God's Word instead of mocking truth.
