What God Has Joined Together: Worship in the Spirit — Zac Poonen -- September 11, 2022
Zac Poonen · Sep 14, 2022 · 58m
The sermon emphasizes the need for balance in the Christian life, drawing parallels to physical balance and the Great Commandment (loving God and neighbor). Key areas needing balance include repentance and faith, as well as worship and service. The speaker warns against legalism, complacency, and yielding to the devil's shortcuts, urging believers to continually examine their lives for progress and to embrace the full commitment required by Christ, even when it means confronting difficult truths.

What God Has Joined Together: Repentance and Faith — Zac Poonen -- September 9, 2022
Zac Poonen · Sep 14, 2022 · 1h 9m
The central message is that true salvation requires both repentance and faith, as God has joined them together. Repentance involves a complete 180-degree turn away from sin, addressing both excessive pride (high thoughts) and deep discouragement (low thoughts), as well as all crooked and rough areas of life. Faith in Jesus Christ is the necessary second element, and neglecting either component results in a shallow foundation for the Christian life.

Become Like A Baby - To Enter God’s Kingdom — Zac Poonen -- September 7, 2022
Zac Poonen · Sep 8, 2022 · 47m
Jesus taught that to enter the Kingdom of Heaven, one must become like a little child, emphasizing humility and complete dependence. The speaker contrasts this with the human tendency toward pride, which stems from the desire to be like God, a sin originating with Lucifer. True faith, therefore, requires adopting the helpless, dependent posture of a baby, recognizing that apart from Christ, we can do nothing.
