Understanding Dead Works | Understanding God's Ways | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Oct 11, 2025 · 58m

The speaker emphasizes that Jesus died not only for sin but also to rescue believers from the values and system of this present evil world.

Paul warns Timothy that a time is coming when people will reject sound doctrine in favor of appealing, but false, teachings.

Overcoming Distraction Addiction - Ian Robson
Ian Robson · Jul 20, 2021 · 40m
The central message is a warning against the 'addiction of distraction,' which the speaker compares to a spiritual danger worse than drugs or pornography.

The key takeaway is that maintaining focus requires a conscious, daily choice to keep one's mind fixed on Christ and God's will, rather than being drawn to worldly concerns or the devil's subtle deceptions.

Discerning The Spirit Of Babylon | बेबीलोन की आत्मा को परखना | Zac Poonen | Hindi
Zac Poonen · May 21, 2021 · 1h 5m
