All That Jesus Taught (Bible Study – 21 of 80) - Zac Poonen (with Romanian Subtitles)

Zac Poonen · Apr 24, 2017 · 25m

Zac Poonen · Apr 12, 2017 · 1h 8m

Zac Poonen · Jan 19, 2017 · 17m

Last Days: Great Deception - Zac Poonen (with Romanian Subtitles)

Zac Poonen · Dec 12, 2016 · 57m

The speaker emphasizes that true readiness for Christ's return is not found in knowing the exact details of the end-times, but in maintaining a passionate, devoted relationship with Christ, likened to a bride's devotion to her groom. He warns against adopting a 'fear of being caught' as motivation for holiness, arguing that genuine holiness must stem from the fear of God, not from the anxiety of potential discovery. True devotion means being so focused on Christ that worldly details or temptations do not distract one.

Fervent Devotion to Christ and the Way of the Cross - Zac Poonen

Zac Poonen · Aug 19, 2016 · 26m

The speaker warns that complacency, even after experiencing God's blessings, can subtly lead believers astray from pure devotion to Christ.

True devotion to Christ, which is the greatest commandment, must be constantly guarded against familiarity and self-satisfaction.

SO GREAT A SALVATION: 2.Truth In Our Inner Life - Zac Poonen

Zac Poonen · Sep 22, 2015 · 1h 1m

The speaker emphasizes that believers often neglect the greatness of salvation purchased by Christ, comparing it to leaving a vast inheritance and only using a small portion.

2.How Jesus Lived On Earth (Как Иисус жил на Земле) - Zac Poonen (Russian)

Zac Poonen · Sep 17, 2015 · 1h 14m

The speaker contrasts two types of holiness: the self-centered piety of the Pharisees, which focuses on outward observance, and the holiness of Jesus, which was characterized by an inability to ignore the deep spiritual need of others. True holiness, according to the speaker, compels one to care for those who lack what one possesses.

Readiness For Christ's Return - Zac Poonen

Zac Poonen · Jul 13, 2015 · 1h 17m

The central message is that the true hope regarding Christ's second coming is not merely that Christ will return, but that believers will be transformed to be like Him.

To live with this hope, believers must actively purify themselves daily, going beyond the cleansing provided by Christ's blood.

All That Jesus Taught (Bible Study – 68 of 80) - Zac Poonen

He warns against hypocrisy, comparing outwardly beautiful tombs to inwardly corrupt hearts.
