Being Aware of Satan's Tactics - Zac Poonen - March 31, 2019
Zac Poonen · Apr 1, 2019 · 44m
The speaker emphasizes the importance of repeatedly hearing and studying the truth of the Gospel, citing Peter's example of persistently reminding people of what they already know. He warns that Satan's schemes often involve causing us to withhold forgiveness or become proud, which allows him to take advantage of us. Awareness of these tactics is gained by diligently reading the Bible, which reveals the spiritual warfare we are engaged in.

The central message is the necessity of personally encountering God to build a strong foundation for life, drawing parallels from Abraham's life. The speaker emphasizes that true understanding and endurance come not just from hearing teachings, but from actively seeking God's voice through personal devotion and wrestling with Him. This personal relationship is what allows believers to look forward to eternal rewards rather than being distracted by temporary earthly concerns.

Santosh Poonen · Mar 28, 2019 · 55m
The sermon emphasizes that God desires 100% integrity from His people, purifying not only their actions but especially their words and motives. Drawing from Zephaniah 3, the speaker highlights that God's cleansing work removes the proud and exalting spirit, leaving behind a humble remnant whose lips are purified to call upon the Lord. The ultimate goal is a life characterized by honesty and reverence before God.

The central message is that believers must actively resist the devil and the temptations of the flesh by standing firm in faith and the power of the Holy Spirit. The speaker emphasizes that resisting Satan, as instructed in James 4:7 and 1 Peter 5:8-9, will cause him to flee. Furthermore, enduring suffering and trials, rather than giving in, is how God perfects, establishes, and strengthens us in Christ.

Self-Life, the Silent Killer - Ajay Chakravarthy - March 17, 2019
Ajay Chakravarthy · Mar 18, 2019 · 41m
The speaker compares self-life to a silent killer, warning that it can be dangerous and unknown until it strikes. He emphasizes that following Jesus requires daily self-denial, not just a one-time commitment. The sermon warns against the subtle dangers of self-satisfaction, jealousy, and seeking the approval of others, citing the example of Saul's downfall due to his own pride and desire for human recognition.

A Tale of Two Cities - Santosh Poonen - March 10, 2019
Santosh Poonen · Mar 11, 2019 · 43m
The central message emphasizes that true knowledge of God is a divine gift received personally, not something taught or transferred. The speaker urges listeners who feel distant from God to not give up, assuring them that God is near the brokenhearted. He stresses that genuine faith requires an inner surrender and brokenness, comparing this to falling on the stone rather than being crushed by it, and applies this principle to marriage, family, and the church.

A Firm Grip on the Christian Life: 5: The Body of Christ - Zac Poonen - November 1, 2009
Zac Poonen · Mar 11, 2019 · 1h 3m
The speaker argues that true Christian holiness requires more than individual piety; it necessitates fellowship with others, forming the 'Body of Christ.' He critiques self-centeredness, comparing it to humanity believing the Earth was the center of the universe, and points to the Lord's Prayer as an example of centering life on God rather than 'I, me, mine.' True discipleship involves centering life on God's will and caring for others.

Zac Poonen · Mar 11, 2019 · 1h 8m
The speaker emphasizes that true holiness and spiritual growth require continuous, free choice, arguing that God cannot force repentance or spiritual fullness. He uses the example of Adam's test and Jesus' choice in Gethsemane to illustrate that genuine commitment involves a conscious decision, not just automatic programming. Understanding the depth of Christ's sacrifice—being forsaken by the Father—is crucial for a personal realization of His love.

Zac Poonen · Mar 10, 2019 · 1h 0m
The speaker discusses the difference between the Holy Spirit's gentle guidance and the controlling nature of demonic influence, emphasizing that the Spirit gives freedom of choice. He advises believers to take Jesus' yoke, which involves learning to walk straight in life, and stresses the importance of having a 'solid grip' on the Christian life. A key point is that sin must be named honestly and filthily to be cleansed by the blood of Christ, rather than using spiritual euphemisms.

The speaker emphasizes that true understanding of scripture comes not from clever study or tradition, but from profound humility and revelation by the Holy Spirit. He warns against misinterpreting scripture by ignoring necessary conditions, using the cleansing of sin through the blood of Jesus as a primary example. Ultimately, one must walk in the light—living openly and truthfully—for the blood of Christ to cleanse them from sin.

Zac Poonen · Mar 10, 2019 · 58m
The speaker uses the story of the rich young ruler to illustrate that following Christ requires radical commitment, demanding the surrender of worldly attachments, whether they are wealth, interests, or even deeply held traditions. He emphasizes that true discipleship means being willing to drop everything immediately when called by the Lord, contrasting this with the slow, gradual commitment that leads to drifting through life. The ultimate goal for a Christian should be an abundant entrance into heaven, not merely reaching it.

The Holy Spirit Helps the Bride Make Herself Ready - Santosh Poonen - May 23, 2014
Santosh Poonen · Mar 10, 2019 · 53m
The central message emphasizes that building the church requires three core elements: discipleship, fellowship, and the fullness of the Holy Spirit. Discipleship means committing to Christ above all else, which must be proven through practical living in one's daily life, especially within marriage and family. True discipleship is manifested through deep fellowship with one another, which in turn requires being filled with the Holy Spirit, as Jesus instructed his followers.

Zac Poonen · Mar 10, 2019 · 33m
The speaker emphasizes that while God easily blesses people, the most difficult task is maintaining humility afterward, as blessings often breed pride. True Christian progression, like the light of dawn, must continuously increase toward the full glory of Christ, moving from glory to glory. The 'full gospel' is not just forgiveness, but the realization that believers are called to gain the same glory that Jesus Christ possessed.

Zac Poonen · Mar 10, 2019 · 58m
The central message emphasizes that true faith must be demonstrated through love, citing Galatians 5:6. The speaker contrasts mere intellectual belief with a faith that actively changes one's life, noting that arguing about doctrines does not equate to genuine spiritual life. He also addresses the ministry of women, affirming their vital role in raising the next generation, while also discussing leadership roles in the home and church.

Zac Poonen · Mar 10, 2019 · 57m
Building the body of Christ requires participation from all members, not just those in visible ministries; invisible service, especially prayer, is highly valued by God. True love for Christ, which is necessary for service, is demonstrated not through emotional displays but by a willingness to take up the daily cross, meaning daily self-denial and sacrifice. The speaker emphasizes that this message of the cross is often missing in modern Christianity.

Who Can Build the Body of Christ: 5: One Who Values Fellowship with God - Zac Poonen - May 24, 2014
Zac Poonen · Mar 9, 2019 · 1h 5m
The central message is that true Christian life and building the church must be founded on fervent love for Christ, not merely adherence to commandments. The speaker emphasizes that love for God and neighbor is the core of the law, and this love must be deep enough to motivate obedience. He argues that discipleship means desiring to follow Jesus personally, even more than desiring heavenly rewards or physical comfort.

Who Can Build the Body of Christ: 4: One Who Loves Christ Supremely - Zac Poonen - May 23, 2014
Zac Poonen · Mar 9, 2019 · 1h 0m
The sermon uses Malachi's prophecy to illustrate the decline of spiritual fervor, noting that God rejects sacrifices that are merely the minimum effort. The central message is that true devotion requires giving God the 'best' of one's life—the maximum sacrifice—rather than the dregs or leftovers. This principle applies to the church today, urging believers to move beyond minimum effort and offer a pure offering to God.

Who Can Build the Body of Christ: 2: One Who is Empowered By the Spirit - Zac Poonen - May 23, 2014
Zac Poonen · Mar 9, 2019 · 59m
Building the Body of Christ requires more than mere intellectual knowledge of Scripture; it demands the anointing of the Holy Spirit. The speaker contrasts a mere 'congregation' (like a pile of bricks) with the true 'body' (like a house), emphasizing that the body requires interconnectedness and submission to local leadership. The ultimate mark of this body is sacrificial love, where members care for and support one another without jealousy.

Who Can Build the Body of Christ: 1: One Who Has a Burden - Zac Poonen - May 23, 2014
Zac Poonen · Mar 9, 2019 · 55m
The speaker argues that the ultimate purpose of the Holy Spirit is not merely forgiveness or salvation, but the building of the Church. He contrasts the immaturity of Christians who only focus on personal sin forgiveness with those who press on to understand God's ultimate purpose. Drawing parallels to biblical figures like Moses, the message emphasizes that God uses dedicated individuals—especially men—who are willing to stand firmly for God's glory, regardless of public opinion.
