Following and Abiding in Jesus - Olu Talabi - July 7, 2019
Olu Talabi · Jul 15, 2019 · 42m
The sermon emphasizes the critical importance of both following and abiding in Jesus, drawing from Luke 9:23 and John 15:5. The speaker warns against the danger of becoming a 'mixed multitude'—those who join the faith without genuine commitment to follow God's specific laws and will. True discipleship requires a complete denial of one's own will and a constant, moment-by-moment abiding in Christ, rather than merely professing belief.

He emphasizes that true spiritual preparation involves fixing one's hope completely on the grace revealed through the Word of God, urging listeners to meditate deeply on scripture rather than just intellectually absorbing it. This deep engagement with the Word leads to the revelation of Christ and the necessary grace to endure life's trials.

Zac Poonen · May 29, 2019 · 46m
The central message is that discouragement and self-condemnation are the devil's primary weapons, and believers must actively resist them by encouraging themselves in the Lord.

He advises against internalizing negative self-talk, which he identifies as the voice of unbelief rather than true humility.

The central message is that merely believing in God is insufficient; one must fully believe, trust, and commit to the Lord Jesus Christ. The speaker emphasizes that the core issue is not whether God exists, but what one says about Jesus, as He is the only way to know God. Jesus Christ alone has the authority to reveal who God is.

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.

The speaker contrasts the self-serving attitude of King Hezekiah, who boasted about his earthly treasures, with the call to live selflessly for others. He draws parallels to the faith of the 'cloud of witnesses' in Hebrews 11, arguing that while many saints died in faith without seeing the final fulfillment, the current generation has the privilege of experiencing God's promised blessings, particularly the building of the Church.
