Santosh Poonen · Feb 1, 2021 · 52m
The speaker emphasizes the importance of maintaining a 'forever mindset' in trusting God, especially during adversity, rather than relying on backup plans.

Ajay Chakravarthy · Jan 25, 2021 · 46m
The speaker reflects on the question, "What do you seek?" using the example of the disciples following John the Baptist. He emphasizes that Jesus, despite having immense power, was accessible and relatable, often choosing to meet people in ordinary circumstances. The central message is that Jesus is always seeking to find and save what is lost, demonstrating compassion even when interrupted or when a more secluded time was desired.

Drawing from 1 John, the speaker stresses that true fellowship involves seeing the Word lived out by believers.

Behold the Glory of God's Humility -- Santosh Poonen -- January 17, 2021
Santosh Poonen · Jan 18, 2021 · 57m
The central message is that the mission of the church is to follow the specific commission given by the Father, just as Jesus was sent. True discipleship is defined by keeping God's commandments and obeying the Father's will, rather than pursuing personal initiatives or good deeds that fall outside that divine mandate. Jesus' example, particularly in resisting temptation and performing miracles only when commanded, shows that obedience to the Father's word is paramount.

Give Your Best to God and He Will Open Heaven Over You -- Santosh Poonen -- January 3 2021
Santosh Poonen · Jan 5, 2021 · 24m
The central message is that true blessing comes not from the teaching received, but from the obedience demonstrated in daily life. The speaker emphasizes that living by God's word today, through small acts of faithfulness, is more important than making grand, year-long resolutions. He draws from Jeremiah 12 to critique hypocrisy, noting that merely going through the motions of faith is insufficient; genuine devotion must come from the innermost being, not just from lips.

The core message is a call to continue diligently in the things of God, urging the congregation not to rest on past glories but to maintain patient continuance in faith.

Ajay Chakravarthy · Jan 5, 2021 · 20m
The sermon uses the story of the young girl who served Naaman's wife to illustrate the power of forgiveness and compassion. This girl, despite suffering great injustice, wished for her master to be with the prophet, demonstrating a profound heart of love and forgiveness. The speaker urges the congregation to cultivate this same heart—one of faith and compassion—believing that such a spirit can lead to great things in the church and in people's lives.

The speaker discusses the theological understanding of Jesus Christ, drawing from Mark 6 and 1 John 4. The central message is that Jesus was fully God and fully man, a truth that the devil attempts to obscure today. The speaker warns against the deception of the antichrist, which tries to make people believe that because Jesus was God, they cannot follow him because he was not fully man. True belief requires acknowledging that Jesus was fully human and fully divine, making him a model for discipleship.

Elders: Endure to the End as Godly Examples -- Zac Poonen -- December 12, 2020
Zac Poonen · Dec 14, 2020 · 55m
The central message is the necessity of continuous, daily surrender to Christ, which is the antidote to spiritual backsliding. The speaker emphasizes that true discipleship requires loving Jesus above all else and constantly taking up the cross by dying to one's own preferences and self. This daily process allows the life of Jesus to be manifested in our actions, relationships, and attitudes.
