Servant Session | 1. Speaking As God's Mouth-Piece - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Oct 27, 2022 · 1h 0m
The speaker emphasizes the importance of punctuality and responsibility, drawing parallels between showing up on time for church meetings and Jesus being on time for the Passover. He advises that while one should always strive for discipline in all areas of life, the ultimate goal is to live in a way that avoids disqualification before God, comparing Christian living to running a race to win an imperishable reward. The core message is to live with self-control and discipline in all aspects of life, not just in attendance.

Enduring In Love Until The End | 10. Judge What God Exposes In Your Flesh - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Oct 25, 2022 · 23m
To truly live with the 'consuming fire' of God means undergoing a continuous, daily self-judgment and repentance to purge anything unlike Christ from one's flesh. This process of purification is necessary to reflect Christ's image and is a sign of seriousness in following Jesus. The speaker emphasizes that this internal cleansing must precede any outward ministry or church purity.

Enduring In Love Until The End | 7. Who Is God Pleased With? - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Oct 25, 2022 · 19m
The core message is that God is pleased not by miraculous experiences, but by a life characterized by righteousness, honesty, and a desire to please Him. The speaker contrasts the Israelites, who experienced many miracles but were not pleasing to God, with Jesus, who lived an upright life without visible miracles. True proof of pleasing God lies in one's conscience, integrity in work, and the ability to forgive others.

Zac Poonen · Sep 14, 2022 · 1h 16m
The speaker reviews several personal truths learned over 63 years, emphasizing that holiness comes through looking to Jesus, and that the New Covenant is superior to the Old.

Zac Poonen · Sep 14, 2022 · 1h 12m
The speaker outlines several truths learned throughout his life, emphasizing that holiness comes not from self-effort but from fixing one's eyes on Jesus. He stresses that the greatest weakness is the tendency to sin easily, and that true discipleship means accepting Jesus's full humanity—being tempted and having a will like ours—while always submitting to the Father's will. The ultimate goal is to run the race by looking to Jesus, which is presented as superior to all miracles.

The New Covenant And The Kingdom Of God – Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · May 26, 2022 · 38m
The speaker contrasts the Old Covenant with the New Covenant, emphasizing that the latter, established through Christ's blood, is for the church and requires a higher standard of righteousness. He uses examples like anger (equated to murder in the old covenant) and lust (equated to adultery in the new covenant) to illustrate this elevated standard. Ultimately, he urges believers toward continuous spiritual growth, warning against spiritual stagnation despite outward religious activity.

God’s Standard for Us Today is Far Higher Than Under the Old Covenant — Zac Poonen — May 4, 2022
Zac Poonen · May 5, 2022 · 1h 1m
The speaker contrasts the Old and New Covenants, emphasizing that the New Covenant requires lived experience rather than mere understanding or proclamation. He argues that if a truth is only known intellectually and not lived out in daily reality, one is still operating under the limitations of the Old Covenant. True discipleship requires ruthless honesty, acknowledging areas where one is not yet at the standard of the Word made flesh, and demonstrating continuous progress in one's walk with God.

The central message is that true closeness to God is proven by understanding and proclaiming the 'secrets' or mysteries of God, which are revealed to those who fear Him.

Zac Poonen · Mar 8, 2022 · 26m
The speaker discusses the importance of reflecting Jesus Christ by growing in purity personally and functioning within the local church. A key teaching point is distinguishing between temptation and sin, referencing James 1:14-15, where temptation is merely attraction, but sin occurs when that attraction is yielded to. He also advises against self-condemnation and discouragement, emphasizing that Christ was tempted in all points, including sickness, which was an aspect of his humanity.

A Reverential Fear Of God - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Feb 18, 2022 · 1h 6m
The speaker emphasizes that true Christian life requires a reverential fear of God, which is distinct from the fear of man or fear of death. Living according to one's former lusts indicates ignorance of God, whereas the believer must strive for holiness because God is holy. This reverence is presented as the foundation for freedom, contrasting with the danger of falling into a 'no covenant' state where fear of God is absent.
