Global Online Meeting Q&A -- Zac Poonen -- June 12, 2021
Zac Poonen · Jun 17, 2021 · 1h 30m

My Father's Heart -- Ajay Chakravarthy -- May 30, 2021
Ajay Chakravarthy · May 31, 2021 · 42m
The speaker emphasizes that the Bible is not a newspaper to be read for daily news, but rather an intense love letter from God detailing His plan for the reader. He draws parallels between Jesus's agony in the Garden of Gethsemane and God's deep care for His children, assuring the audience that God's love is intensely personal. The message concludes by advising that before asking for prayer, one must first address any unconfessed sin or unresolved relational issues so that their heart does not condemn them.

Olu Talabi · May 28, 2021 · 17m
The speaker reflects on the passage of Genesis 17, questioning the focus on external rituals like circumcision, which was commanded for both Israelites and non-Jews. He argues that God's true concern, as supported by scripture, is not external observance but the condition of the heart. True righteousness and obedience come from the heart being bent to follow God's commandments, exemplified by Abraham's faith and culminating in Christ.

Santosh Poonen · May 24, 2021 · 1h 11m

The speaker addresses concerns regarding vaccines and the 'Mark of the Beast,' emphasizing that personal decisions should be guided by conscience and faith, referencing Romans 14.

Ultimately, he advises believers to stick to scripture and trust in God's protection.

Discerning Satan's Tactics -- Zac Poonen -- April 10, 2021
Zac Poonen · Apr 11, 2021 · 1h 17m
The speaker emphasizes that true spiritual life comes from diligently studying and living by God's Word, warning that Satan's tactic is to keep people from the Bible. He further teaches that victory over sin comes not just from knowing Christ died for sins, but from understanding that our 'old man' (sinful nature) was crucified with Christ, and that Christ's death rendered Satan powerless. Ultimately, believers must understand this victory to resist Satan's ongoing attempts to deceive and intimidate.

How to Avoid Being Deceived -- Zac Poonen -- March 31, 2021
Zac Poonen · Apr 2, 2021 · 1h 0m
The central message is the necessity of guarding against spiritual deception, drawing from Jesus' warning to the disciples. The speaker emphasizes that understanding God's ways requires diligent Bible study, as human wisdom is insufficient. He uses the contrast between God and money (Mammon) to illustrate that one cannot serve both, suggesting that the ultimate test of one's allegiance is whether the call of money or the call of God proves more attractive in daily life.

A True Picture of God -- Ajay Chakravarthy -- March 21, 2021
Ajay Chakravarthy · Mar 22, 2021 · 53m
The central message is that our understanding of God dictates how we experience Him in our lives. If we operate from a flawed perception—such as viewing God as hard or exacting—our walk with Him will be painful. To correct this, we must look to Jesus, who perfectly reveals the Father's nature, which is characterized by unconditional love, as exemplified by the parable of the lost sheep. God's heart is to seek out and rejoice over the lost.

Regarding the signs of the times, he directs listeners to Matthew 24, noting that Jesus' primary warning was not about physical disasters, but about widespread deception. He advises believers to remain alert by developing thankfulness and maintaining a good conscience to discern truth.

The speaker emphasizes that true Christian living goes beyond merely following rules or reading the Bible to ease one's conscience.
