Zac Poonen · May 9, 2014 · 1h 2m
This message addresses the danger of legalism, contrasting it with the true work of the Holy Spirit.

The core message is to rely on grace and the Spirit's power rather than self-imposed religious obligations.

2.The Root Of Sin - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · May 9, 2014 · 56m
The root of sin is identified as pride, which manifests as rebellion against authority, rather than just acts like murder or theft. The speaker argues that failing to submit to God's established authority—whether in marriage, parenting, teaching, or employment—places one in fellowship with the devil. True spiritual life requires humility, contentment, and submission to God's established order.

New Covenant Servants: 1.Motivated By Love - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · May 8, 2014 · 53m
The speaker distinguishes between serving under the old covenant and serving under the new covenant. He explains that the old covenant operated on a basis of obedience to avoid curses and gain rewards, much like parenting. In contrast, the new covenant requires service motivated purely by love for Christ, as exemplified by Jesus's questioning of Peter. True service in the new covenant flows from an inner cleansing and relationship with the Holy Spirit, not merely adherence to external laws.

New Covenant Servants: 3.Doing Christ's Works And Greater Works - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · May 8, 2014 · 55m
The speaker discusses the nature of new covenant service, emphasizing that true service must flow from love and result in becoming more Christ-like. He focuses on John 14:12, arguing that believers are called to do works greater than those Jesus performed, which requires diligent study of scripture. Ultimately, he teaches that following Christ means denying one's own will and willingly embracing the cross, mirroring Jesus's life of submitting to the Father's will.

9.Why God Allows His Children To Suffer - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · May 7, 2014 · 58m
The speaker argues that many believers misunderstand the transition from the Old to the New Covenant, leading them to find comfort in the failures and struggles described in the Old Testament. He emphasizes that the New Covenant provides something 'better,' exemplified by Jesus' life, which teaches believers to love their enemies rather than seeking vengeance. True spiritual growth requires moving beyond the foundational teachings (like 'kindergarten') to the advanced truths found in the New Testament.

7.The Lord Cares For Our Body Also - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · May 7, 2014 · 1h 15m
The sermon emphasizes that God's sanctification covers the entire person—spirit, soul, and body—and cautions against theological extremes in any area, including physical healing. Drawing from scripture, the speaker argues that God's care for the body is evident throughout the Old Testament through promises of healing and blessing, urging believers to maintain a balanced understanding of God's will.

6.Jesus Gave All To His Father - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · May 7, 2014 · 1h 0m
The central message emphasizes that true holiness is marked by profound humility, which is exemplified by Christ's willingness to give everything for the Father and the Church. The speaker urges listeners to assess their own willingness to sacrifice everything God asks, comparing this commitment to the selfless example of Christ and the Apostle Paul. Ultimately, the message warns that those who prioritize personal gain or secular pursuits over God's work will only receive a fraction of the grace and blessing they could otherwise receive.

5.Humble Yourself And Be A Servant - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · May 7, 2014 · 59m
The central message is that true Christian life requires humility, self-denial, and a focus on serving others rather than self-gain or pride. The speaker emphasizes that achieving this is possible through the power of the Holy Spirit, contrasting this with the impossibility of such obedience in the Old Testament. He urges believers to build the church, recognizing that true devotion is demonstrated by being broken by God's word and seeking the good of the community over personal honor or benefit.

4.The Poor In Spirit Possess God's Kingdom - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · May 7, 2014 · 57m
The central message is that being 'poor in spirit' is the master key to possessing the Kingdom of Heaven, leading to a life characterized by heavenly purity, joy, and acceptance. This spiritual poverty is illustrated by the perpetual dependence of a beggar on daily handouts, meaning one must approach God daily with the acknowledgment that yesterday's grace was only for yesterday. True prayer and spiritual life are thus defined by constant dependence on God, contrasting with the self-sufficiency that leads to spiritual independence.

1.The Importance Of Knowing God's Ways - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · May 7, 2014 · 1h 0m
The central message is that human ways, including traditions and self-reliance, are insufficient compared to God's ways, as stated in Isaiah 55:8. The speaker warns against letting cultural traditions or natural abilities (like intelligence or music) hinder one's relationship with God, emphasizing that the flesh must be completely crucified. True understanding requires profound respect for God, characterized by waiting for Him when He is near.

6.The Proof Of Faith - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · May 6, 2014 · 57m
True faith is not proven by material blessings or answered prayers for physical needs, but rather by enduring trials and suffering. The speaker emphasizes that the primary focus of Christian life, as taught by Jesus, is glorifying God's name and advancing His kingdom. Genuine faith is proven when one praises God and overcomes sin during times of tribulation, as pure gold is tested by fire, not by comfort.

2.God's Kingdom Is For The Needy - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · May 6, 2014 · 58m
The sermon emphasizes that God's divine power has granted believers everything necessary for a godly life, making excuses for not living right no longer acceptable. True Christian living is demonstrated by how one's life testifies against surrounding darkness, sin, or temptation. Furthermore, the speaker clarifies that material blessings like health and wealth are given to both the righteous and the unrighteous, but the true gift—God's nature—is what distinguishes a believer.

3.God's Grace Makes Us Overcomers - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · May 6, 2014 · 58m
The sermon emphasizes that while some promises of God are unconditional, many blessings, including spiritual growth, require specific conditions like repentance and faith. The speaker warns against misunderstanding verses like John 10:28 and 1 John 1:7, stressing that claiming promises requires actively obeying and following Christ's voice. True cleansing from sin is found by willingly walking into God's light, which means taking full responsibility for one's own sin rather than blaming others.

8.The Way To Find Rest In Our Soul - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · May 6, 2014 · 56m
The sermon centers on Jesus' invitation in Matthew 11:28 to those who are weary, emphasizing that true rest comes only from Him. The speaker distinguishes between temporary emotional uplift from sermons and the deep, permanent rest that comes when the Word of God sinks into the spirit, building a life like a house built on the rock. Achieving this rest requires deep obedience and acknowledging one's iniquity honestly.

1.God Honours Those Who Honour Him - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · May 6, 2014 · 58m
The speaker emphasizes that God's divine power, received through the Holy Spirit, is a free gift, much like the forgiveness of sins, and should not be treated as something to be earned through works. This divine power grants everything pertaining to life and godliness, meaning believers have no excuse for remaining enslaved to known sins. True knowledge of God, which is central to eternal life, is imparted by the Holy Spirit.

9.Rejoicing In God's Authority Over Us - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · May 6, 2014 · 1h 1m
The central message is that true spiritual victory comes not from the authority we claim over sin or the enemy, but from resting in God's supreme authority and presence. The speaker warns against the danger of pride, which often follows perceived victories, noting that God's work is deep and thorough, unlike superficial self-improvement. Ultimately, believers should rejoice in God's sustaining power over them, rather than their own accomplishments.

4.Partaking Of God's Nature - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · May 6, 2014 · 59m
The sermon reviews God's promises, emphasizing that the ultimate goal is for believers to partake of God's nature. The speaker urges listeners to seek honor from God rather than man, cultivate a heart filled with heaven's virtues (righteousness, peace, joy), and remain humble to receive God's sufficient grace. True transformation into Christ's image requires complete submission to the Lordship of the Holy Spirit.

10.Rejoicing In What God Has Done - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · May 6, 2014 · 58m
The speaker advises against rejoicing in personal accomplishments or abilities, even spiritual ones like casting out demons. Instead, believers should rejoice in the fact that their names are recorded in heaven, a status granted by God before birth. True spiritual freedom comes not from avoiding rules (legalism) but from overcoming sin, which is the only freedom Jesus spoke of.

5.Heart-Faith And Not Mind-Faith - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · May 6, 2014 · 59m
The speaker distinguishes between mere intellectual understanding and receiving divine revelation in the heart, emphasizing that true Christian life requires more than just knowing doctrines. He contrasts forgiveness (which requires only repentance) with salvation, which demands the power of God and is available only to those who truly believe. Ultimately, the message stresses that faith must be a continuous, life-long process, not just a single initial step, warning against settling for partial understanding of God's promises.

The Calling Of A Mother - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Apr 9, 2014 · 24m
The sermon emphasizes that godly offspring require humility and grace from God, rather than relying on external factors. The speaker stresses that acknowledging personal pride and taking responsibility for one's shortcomings is key to restoring godly living in the home. Furthermore, he addresses the biblical order of roles, asserting that while the woman's ministry is vital through raising children, the man is called to the teaching ministry, maintaining the pattern established since Adam was created first.

The sermon emphasizes that God judges not by outward appearance but by the heart, referencing the principle from 1 Samuel 16. It warns that everything we do, think, and say is recorded, comparing our memory to a divine video camera. This record is permanent and will be revealed before God, meaning we are accountable for our entire lives, not just what others know about us.

The speaker emphasizes that Christians must always be ready to confess Christ as Lord in their hearts and to defend this belief when questioned. When sharing their faith, one must speak with gentleness and respect, avoiding arguments, as shouting or arguing often indicates the speaker is wrong. Ultimately, the message stresses that true witness comes from a humble, respectful demeanor, not from being the loudest or most argumentative person.

The speaker emphasizes that true Christian living must first manifest within one's own family life before one can effectively be a witness to the world. He draws heavily from Ephesians, noting that the call to be Spirit-filled must translate into practical obedience regarding spousal relationships, honoring parents, and maintaining proper conduct within the home. Ultimately, obedience to God's word must supersede conflicting commands from parents.
