Olu Talabi · May 25, 2020 · 34m
The speaker emphasizes that the gospel message must be lived out, not just preached. Drawing from 1 Thessalonians 1:5-10, he argues that the Thessalonians became followers of the apostles *because* they observed that the apostles' lives matched the powerful words they preached about Jesus. True discipleship requires that our daily lives demonstrate the truth of our faith, moving beyond mere theory or words alone.

Annie Poonen · Apr 17, 2020 · 51m
The speaker uses the analogy of finding a bag of pebbles versus precious stones to illustrate that difficult times, like isolation or scarcity, conceal immense blessings. Just as the boy threw away valuable gems, we must be careful not to waste the spiritual gifts and lessons God provides during challenging seasons. These times are opportunities to collect and treasure the spiritual insights, faith, and resilience that will prove to be a blessing in the future.

Santosh Poonen · Mar 23, 2020 · 46m
The speaker cautions against misusing scripture, citing Psalm 91 as an example of how the devil attempted to use God's Word against Jesus. He emphasizes that while God's Word is true, its application must align with God's ultimate desire and purpose, not merely personal desire or hope. True assurance comes from understanding that God's word will accomplish what He intends, as seen in Isaiah 55, and that our focus must remain on God's purpose rather than claiming verses for personal comfort.

Santosh Poonen · Feb 24, 2020 · 45m

The Compass for a Troubled Heart - Santosh Poonen - February 16, 2020
Santosh Poonen · Feb 18, 2020 · 23m
The central message is to remain steadfast and trust God when facing emotional turmoil or spiritual adversity, drawing from John 14:1. Jesus instructs us not to let our hearts be troubled, urging us to believe in God and also in Him. This trust is necessary even when our feelings or current circumstances suggest otherwise, as faith must anchor us when emotional highs and lows occur.

Walking By Faith and Not Sight - Ajay Chakravarthy - February 16, 2020
Ajay Chakravarthy · Feb 16, 2020 · 36m
The central message is that Christian faith must be grounded in the objective facts of God's Word rather than being dictated by fluctuating feelings. The speaker uses an enactment to illustrate how relying on feelings—such as guilt, anxiety, or discouragement—can lead to spiritual paralysis, whereas resting on scripture provides stability. True maturity in faith is demonstrated by continuing to walk with God's Word even when feelings are negative or when external affirmations are absent.

We Inherit God's Promises Through Faith and Patience - Santosh Poonen - February 9, 2020
Santosh Poonen · Feb 10, 2020 · 58m
The sermon emphasizes that enduring trials, like Job's, requires not just suffering, but steadfast patience and endurance.

God rewards those who diligently seek Him above all else.
