The Marks Of True Faith: 4.Enduring Till The End - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jan 30, 2014 · 59m
The speaker discusses the fourth mark of true faith: endurance, citing James 1:4 which states that patience has its perfect result so that one may be perfect and complete. He emphasizes that impatience often stems from unbelief, contrasting this with the belief that all things work together for good (Romans 8:28). The message concludes by interpreting 'pray at all times' (1 Thessalonians 5:17) not as constant, conscious prayer, but as maintaining a constant, underlying spirit of prayer, like breathing.

The Marks Of True Faith: 3.Total Dependence Upon God - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jan 30, 2014 · 58m
True faith requires total dependence upon God, meaning one relies entirely on Christ's sacrifice for forgiveness, not on personal works. This principle must extend to the entire Christian life, requiring constant reliance on the Holy Spirit for growth in personal, family, and ministry areas. A lack of this total dependence leads to stagnation and inability to function correctly, much like a body part disconnected from the brain.

The Marks Of True Faith: 2.The Obedience Of Faith - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jan 30, 2014 · 57m
True faith is marked by maintaining a good conscience, which involves acknowledging, confessing, and seeking forgiveness for sins both before God and others. Furthermore, true faith is demonstrated by the 'obedience of faith for his name's sake,' which is distinct from actions done for personal gain or reward. On the final day, God will judge not only our actions but also the hidden motives behind them.

The Marks Of True Faith: 1.A Good Conscience - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jan 30, 2014 · 59m
The speaker emphasizes that understanding faith is critical because it determines eternal destiny, making it more important than any physical medicine. He contrasts the faith of the Old Testament, which often focused on external actions, with the superior faith of the New Testament, which must spring from the heart. True faith requires maintaining both a good conscience and steadfast belief, as God has provided something far superior through Christ.

People Who Were Ready For Christ's Coming - Part 4 - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jan 30, 2014 · 59m
The speaker argues that readiness for Christ's return is not limited to religious knowledge or Jewish background, citing examples like the shepherds, the Syrophoenician woman, and the Roman centurion. He emphasizes that God judges people by their conscience and sincerity, warning that believers can become complacent, while non-Christians who genuinely fear God can be brought to God's attention through sincere prayer. Ultimately, the message stresses that salvation and entrance into heaven are based solely on faith in Jesus Christ.

The speaker warns that many people, including some Christians, may be unprepared for Christ's return or the day of judgment, citing historical examples where people thought they knew the timing but were wrong. He emphasizes that true readiness comes from self-examination and humility, pointing to the Roman centurion as an example of profound faith. The core message is that God's blessings are received through faith, and the greatest faith is often found in the humble, even among those who do not know the scriptures.

People Who Were Ready For Christ's Coming - Part 2 - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jan 30, 2014 · 57m
The sermon emphasizes that readiness for Christ's second coming is not determined by scholarly knowledge or outward religious performance, but by sincere heart and obedience. The speaker uses the example of the shepherds, who were simple, poor, and uneducated, yet they immediately obeyed the angel's revelation and went to Bethlehem. True readiness involves acting immediately upon what one believes God has revealed, without needing external validation or consulting others.

Living In An Upside-Down World: 4.By a living faith - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jan 30, 2014 · 1h 1m
The central message is that true Christianity requires living in a way that is 'right-side up' according to Jesus' teachings, contrasting sharply with the 'upside-down' values of the world. The speaker warns that Satan attempts to gain a foothold not just through obvious sin, but more subtly by allowing worldly values and distractions to consume time, preventing believers from deeply engaging with Scripture. Therefore, the only way to truly live is by diligently following every word that proceeds from God's mouth.

God's Purpose In Marriage: 1.From The Beginning - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jan 30, 2014 · 57m
The speaker emphasizes that the New Covenant has fundamentally higher standards than the Old Covenant, particularly regarding marriage. He uses the discussion of divorce in Matthew 19 to illustrate how Christians often misquote or misunderstand scripture by failing to cross-reference passages with the Old Testament. The central message is the necessity of careful, diligent study of scripture to avoid doctrinal error in all areas of life, especially marriage.

The speaker shares personal anecdotes about parenting, emphasizing that while mistakes are inevitable, the core focus should be on spiritual values rather than material perfection.

A Christ Like Home: 2.Christlike Parents And Children - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jan 30, 2014 · 1h 3m
The sermon emphasizes that raising children in a Christ-like manner is a vital measure of genuine Christian faith, as children see hypocrisy when parents do not live by their preached words. The speaker draws on scripture to argue that parents have a significant responsibility to train their children in the faith, citing Moses' mother as an example of early, dedicated spiritual training. Ultimately, living by faith and rejecting the world's allure, as Moses did, is the goal for both parents and children.

A Christ Like Home: 1.Christlike Husbands And Wives - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jan 30, 2014 · 1h 4m
A Christ-like home requires every member—husband, wife, father, mother, and children—to be conformed to the image of Christ. The central message is that true fulfillment comes not from external success but from actively seeking God's will, acknowledging when things are 'finished' (like the wine at Cana), and maintaining honesty. The speaker emphasizes that faith means believing God is more interested in redeeming and building a godly home than we are, even when facing deep struggles or perceived hopelessness.

Righteousness, Kindness and Humility - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jan 27, 2014 · 1h 1m
The sermon emphasizes that true righteousness, kindness, and humility, as required by God, must be internal rather than merely outward performance for human approval. The speaker draws from Micah 6:8, contrasting the outward focus of the Old Covenant with the inward reality of the New Covenant. He warns that seeking righteousness before men is a subtle form of idolatry, and true discipleship requires a concern only for what God thinks, not what people think.

The speaker warns that the last days will bring much deception, emphasizing that the Bible is a necessary guide against false teachings and miracles.

The speaker emphasizes that children are a gift from the Lord and, for them to be truly blessed, they must be surrendered back to God. He advises parents to raise their children not for their own care in old age, but to live for God. Furthermore, children should be trained like arrows, ready to be fired against Satan, and taught to resolve conflicts not with family members, but in service to Christ.

The sermon discusses the divine design for marriage, contrasting the Old Testament allowances with the New Testament emphasis on the Holy Spirit. The speaker argues that a happy marriage requires being filled with the Holy Spirit, not just experiencing emotional fervor in public gatherings. True spiritual filling comes through private devotion, leading to a soft, pliable heart—a necessary condition for a husband and wife to be united, which God accomplishes through the Spirit, replacing the hard heart of stone with flesh.

The sermon emphasizes that following Jesus is a narrow, difficult path, contrasting it with the wide path leading to destruction. True life and joy are found by choosing this narrow way, which requires daily testing and commitment. The speaker encourages the congregation to follow Jesus' example and to encourage younger members to walk this path, trusting that God will provide strength through every trial.
