Through The Bible - English - 37 (Matthew-2) by Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Apr 10, 2013 · 58m
The speaker argues that many Christians mistakenly live under the 'Old Covenant' mindset, basing their understanding of sin and righteousness on the failures of Old Testament figures. True Christian life, or the 'New Covenant,' requires setting one's mind on heavenly things and focusing on Jesus Christ's example rather than finding excuses for sin in scripture. The gospel's focus is overcoming sin through faith, not demanding immediate, miraculous deliverance from every difficulty.

Ultimately, Jonah's experience teaches that when human efforts fail, we must turn to prayer.

Furthermore, he warns that leaders, especially priests and princes, often lead the church into compromise and worldliness.

Through The Bible - English - 30 (Amos & Obadiah) by Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Apr 10, 2013 · 51m

Through The Bible - English - 04 (Exodus-1) by Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Apr 10, 2013 · 57m
The sermon uses the story of Moses to illustrate that God's purposes are fulfilled even through the opposition of the devil and the world's systems. The key lesson is that human abilities, education, or worldly success are insufficient for God's calling; true preparation comes through periods of breaking and humility, such as Moses' 40 years in the wilderness. When we think we are ready, God may still require us to be broken down before He can use us for His divine purpose.

Through The Bible - English - 16 (Nehemiah & Esther) by Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Apr 10, 2013 · 55m
The speaker contrasts two movements of Israel: the personal walk out of sin (Egypt to Canaan) and the corporate restoration (Babylon to Jerusalem). He warns against equating denominations with spiritual location, arguing that true spiritual decay, or 'Babylon,' resides in the self-centered pursuit of personal gain rather than selfless service to God. True restoration, like Nehemiah's rebuilding of Jerusalem, requires a deep concern for the state of the Church and a commitment to sacrifice for Christ's glory.
