GOD SHOWS US HIS WAY | 4.Learning The Fear Of God | Zac Poonen |
Zac Poonen · Aug 16, 2016 · 58m
The speaker emphasizes that understanding God's way requires grasping the seriousness of sin, contrasting the Old Covenant's tangible penalties for sin with the New Covenant's spiritual standard. He argues that many Christians treat sin lightly, failing to appreciate the immense value of Christ's blood, which redeems us far beyond any earthly payment. The core message is a warning about the danger of harboring anger in the heart, as this constitutes guilt even before speaking, and the only escape is through acknowledging the need for God's grace, not merely through ritualistic confession.

GOD SHOWS US HIS WAY | 1.Being Honest About Our Sins | Zac Poonen | Tamil
Zac Poonen · Aug 16, 2016 · 55m
The central message is that human pride prevents us from understanding God's superior ways, which are vastly different from our own. True understanding of God's ways comes through humility, much like a child who asks questions without shame. The speaker emphasizes that humility leads to peace in relationships and life decisions, contrasting it with the pitfalls of pride.

GOD SHOWS US HIS WAY | 5.Knowing Jesus Personally | Zac Poonen | Tamil
Zac Poonen · Aug 16, 2016 · 59m
The speaker emphasizes the seriousness of sin, explaining that even one sin breaks a person's connection with God, much like a single hole leaks a vessel. True salvation requires understanding that one's own sin is enough for Christ's sacrifice, rather than viewing it as a global issue. Repentance means confessing all sins to God so that He can repair the 'holes' in our lives.

THE TRUTH SHALL SET YOU FREE: 1.Freedom From Sin - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jul 21, 2016 · 1h 5m
The speaker emphasizes that the Bible is the sole, authoritative word of God, contrasting it with teachings from parents or established churches. He recounts his personal journey from an Orthodox background to realizing the necessity of being 'born again' through the Bible. The central message is that true knowledge of God's truth, including warnings about hell and the path to salvation, comes only from reading and believing the Bible, as exemplified by the rich man's conversation with Abraham in Luke 16.

The Root Of Sin Is Self-Centredness - Zac Poonen (with Romanian Subtitles)
Zac Poonen · May 20, 2016 · 34m
The core sin is not specific actions but self-centeredness, which is the root that must be addressed for true salvation. Holiness is achieved when Christ becomes the center of one's life, rather than the self. Repentance, therefore, means turning from a life centered on self to one centered on Jesus Christ.

Exhortation And Encouragement - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Apr 27, 2016 · 1h 16m
The speaker cautions against taking scripture out of its proper context, warning that the devil often splits verses to present only the 'promise' while omitting the necessary 'condition.' He emphasizes that true understanding requires quoting the entire scripture, not just memorable phrases. The core message is to study the whole Bible to avoid deception and maintain a full understanding of God's word.

OVERCOMING SINS OF SEXUAL ADDICTION – Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Feb 15, 2016 · 1h 32m
The speaker addresses men specifically regarding the intense temptations related to sexual desire, emphasizing that while God designed this desire, it is not essential for life. He advises that the best way to conquer these urges is not solely through marriage, but by actively fighting and conquering them while young through a passion for Christ and the Holy Spirit. Furthermore, he stresses the importance of guarding one's mind by avoiding impure media, noting that Jesus was tempted in all areas, including sexuality, proving our ability to overcome through Him.

SO GREAT A SALVATION: 3.The Power Of True Grace - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Sep 22, 2015 · 1h 12m
The sermon emphasizes that true grace is more than just forgiveness; it requires understanding the profound cost of sin and the sacrifice of Christ. The speaker warns against seeking the approval of men, calling it idolatry, and stresses that sin is far more serious than minor offenses. Ultimately, believers must grasp the immense value of Christ's blood, recognizing that willfully sinning after knowing the truth is a grave matter.

5.Jesus Overcame In Weakness (Иисус победил в слабость) - Zac Poonen (Russian)
Zac Poonen · Sep 17, 2015 · 1h 1m
The sermon explains that the Old Testament serves as a shadow pointing toward fulfillment in the New Testament, using examples like the Sabbath and tithes to teach obedience to God. It emphasizes two key spiritual journeys: the Exodus from Egypt (representing freedom from sin/the world) and the subsequent departure from Babylon (representing freedom from legalism and empty traditions). True Christian life requires a complete separation from the world's systems, making the spiritual battle against Satan the primary focus.

Zac Poonen · Apr 22, 2015 · 24m
The sermon analyzes Jesus' teachings through his life and words, focusing on examples like Peter's denial and Jesus' silence before Pilate. The speaker emphasizes that true repentance must be directed only to God, not to religious leaders. Furthermore, he advises Christians to follow Jesus' example by remaining silent when falsely accused by fellow believers or religious figures.

All That Jesus Taught (Bible Study – 68 of 80) - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Feb 27, 2015 · 25m
The central message is that true righteousness comes from cleaning the inner life before focusing on external appearances, using the analogy of cleaning the inside of a cup. The speaker contrasts the temporary nature of adherence to law (like an ointment) with the permanent healing found in grace, emphasizing that one must address the root problem internally. He warns against hypocrisy, comparing outwardly beautiful tombs to inwardly corrupt hearts.

All That Jesus Taught (Bible Study – 65 of 80) - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Feb 24, 2015 · 25m
The central message is that standing before God requires clothing oneself only in the righteousness of Christ, not in personal achievements or self-righteousness. The speaker emphasizes the difference between forgiveness (dealing with past sins) and justification (being clothed in Christ's righteousness). He warns against boasting in personal piety and stresses that true spiritual equality is found in accepting the free garment of Christ's righteousness, regardless of one's spiritual seniority or history with the faith.

Zac Poonen · Feb 19, 2015 · 25m
The speaker discusses Jesus' teachings, focusing on the danger of hypocrisy, which he compares to the leaven of the Pharisees. He warns that outward appearance of piety can mask internal emptiness, making hypocrisy more dangerous than physical lack. The message emphasizes that spiritual integrity and freedom from hypocrisy are more vital than material provision or even physical sustenance.

All That Jesus Taught (Bible Study – 54 of 80) - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Feb 19, 2015 · 25m
Jesus taught that what defiles a person comes not from what enters the mouth, but from what proceeds out of the heart, such as evil thoughts, lusts, and slander. The speaker urges listeners to be more careful about spiritually defiling things—like what they read or see—than about physical sickness. True spirituality is marked by a greater fear of sin than of physical illness.

All That Jesus Taught (Bible Study – 50 of 80) - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Feb 17, 2015 · 25m
The sermon analyzes the parables of the tares and the mustard seed, emphasizing that the field in the parable refers to the world, not the church. Jesus taught that the separation of wheat and tares will occur at the end of the age by angels, but the church must maintain purity by disciplining those who live in sin. The mustard seed parable is interpreted not as a picture of the church, but as a seed growing into a large, artificial-seeming tree.

All That Jesus Taught (Bible Study – 48 of 80) - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Feb 17, 2015 · 25m
Jesus taught that a person's true nature, or the contents of their heart, will inevitably manifest through their words, as the mouth is the overflow valve of the heart. The speaker emphasizes that true Christlikeness requires more than just being gracious; it demands firmness and the willingness to speak truth, even when confronting sin. Furthermore, he stresses that every careless word will be accounted for at the judgment, meaning accountability extends beyond just sins against God to include sins against other people.

Zac Poonen · Feb 12, 2015 · 25m
The sermon continues studying Matthew, focusing on the persecution faced by true disciples, who will be hated by the world, even by family. The speaker emphasizes that true discipleship requires standing for the truth, even when unpopular, and warns against false teachings that minimize sin. Ultimately, the message urges the audience not to fear anything because God is sovereign, and if we fear God, we need fear nothing else.

All That Jesus Taught (Bible Study – 28 of 80) - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Feb 11, 2015 · 25m
The sermon emphasizes that Jesus' teachings, particularly in the Sermon on the Mount, demand a narrow path of discipleship that requires radical obedience regarding sin, anger, and lust. The speaker warns against modern interpretations that dilute scripture or widen the gate, cautioning that true Christianity requires taking Jesus' words seriously rather than merely appearing religious. He concludes by warning against false prophets who teach that the commands of scripture are optional.

All That Jesus Taught (Bible Study – 25 of 80) - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Feb 11, 2015 · 25m
The sermon reviews the nine wrong attitudes Jesus warned against, focusing specifically on judging and condemning others. The speaker argues that judging is premature because we do not know the full story, the hidden things in darkness, or the true motives of people's hearts. Ultimately, judging others reveals more about our own flawed hearts than it does about the person being judged.

All That Jesus Taught (Bible Study – 20 of 80) - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Feb 10, 2015 · 25m
The speaker reviews the teachings of Jesus, focusing on the 'wrong attitudes' to eliminate from Christian life, such as anger, sexual sin, and lying. He emphasizes that Jesus' teachings must be understood in their spirit, not taken literally, using examples like the slap on the cheek to illustrate a radical attitude of non-resistance and trust in God. The discussion concludes by comparing Jesus' words on lending with Luke 6:35, advising that loans should be treated as gifts, expecting nothing in return.

All That Jesus Taught (Bible Study – 18 of 80) - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Feb 10, 2015 · 25m
The sermon emphasizes that fulfilling the Great Commission requires understanding everything Jesus taught, focusing specifically on the internal nature of sin like lust and anger. The speaker stresses that overcoming these sins is impossible by human power and requires the genuine fullness of the Holy Spirit, which grants self-control over the tongue and eyes. True freedom comes through radical honesty, confession, and seeking the Spirit's power rather than settling for counterfeit spiritual experiences.

All That Jesus Taught (Bible Study – 17 of 80) - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Feb 10, 2015 · 25m
The speaker emphasizes that Christians must move beyond merely knowing Jesus as a forgiver to understanding Him as a Savior who saves people from sin. He uses the examples of anger and lust to illustrate that repeatedly sinning and seeking forgiveness only addresses the symptom, not the root problem of sin itself. True spiritual literacy means recognizing the seriousness of sin and actively seeking salvation from its power, rather than just receiving forgiveness for past acts.
