Raising Our Children For God (4 of 7) - Zac Poonen

Zac Poonen · May 21, 2014 · 12m

The sermon emphasizes that every child is a gift from God, and parents must view raising children as training them to be spiritual warriors against Satan, not just preparing them for earthly battles. Drawing from Psalm 127, the speaker urges parents to take responsibility for sharpening their children's faith by guarding their media consumption and daily influences. Ultimately, the goal is to raise children who will not be ashamed when confronted by their enemies.

Raising Our Children For God (2 of 7) - Zac Poonen

Zac Poonen · May 21, 2014 · 10m

The central message is that raising children for God requires parents to see their children as beautiful gifts from God, regardless of external appearances or societal standards. Furthermore, parents must raise them with unwavering faith, not fearing the corrupt world, and must combine discipline with compassion while teaching them the fear of God so they reject the world's allure of honor, sin, and money.

Raising Our Children For God (1 of 7) - Zac Poonen

Zac Poonen · May 21, 2014 · 19m

The speaker emphasizes that Christian life requires manifesting God's truth through one's actions, which is a higher standard than in the Old Covenant. He stresses that a person's life testimony—demonstrating that they sought God's kingdom first—is what truly matters, more than human opinion. Regarding parenting, he cites Proverbs 22:6, urging parents to diligently train their children in the way they should go, and points to Genesis 18:19, noting that God chose Abraham specifically so he could *command* his descendants to keep the Lord's way.

The Cross At The Centre Of Your Marriage - Zac Poonen

Zac Poonen · May 21, 2014 · 37m

This message emphasizes that the cross of Christ must be the central focus of a Christian marriage. True marital strength and unity are found not in worldly compromises, but in the shared commitment to Christ's sacrifice. The couple must continually crucify their own selfish desires to live together in Christ.

Receiving Children In Jesus' Name - Zac Poonen

Zac Poonen · May 20, 2014 · 21m

The sermon discusses two ways to receive Christ into one's life: by receiving an apostle, or by becoming like a little child. The speaker emphasizes that true conversion requires adopting the childlike qualities of helplessness, humility, and dependence on God, rather than self-sufficiency. Furthermore, the message extends to parents, urging them to receive their children in Jesus' name, accepting them unconditionally, and warning against causing their children to stumble through ungodly behavior.

Zac Poonen · May 19, 2014 · 1h 4m

This message continues a series on foundational Christian truths, focusing on the Sermon on the Mount. The speaker emphasizes that following Jesus requires walking a narrow way, which demands self-denial, contrasting it with an easy Christian life. He stresses that true discipleship involves embodying the virtues listed in the Beatitudes, and that believers should rejoice when persecuted for righteousness rather than seeking sympathy. Ultimately, the message calls for genuine conversion and consistent commitment to the narrow path.

BEGINNING THE CHRISTIAN LIFE ARIGHT (7 of 8) - Zac Poonen

Zac Poonen · May 19, 2014 · 1h 8m

The speaker emphasizes that Christian service must be founded not on perceived need, but on the authority of Christ, as stated in Matthew 28:18. He contrasts acting out of need with acting on Christ's command, warning that the former leads to frustration and murmuring. True ministry success comes from submitting to Christ's authority, which protects the believer from opposition. The core message is to balance seeing the need (looking on the fields) with doing the will of God (praying for workers), rather than rushing out based on human reasoning.

BEGINNING THE CHRISTIAN LIFE ARIGHT (6 of 8) - Zac Poonen

Zac Poonen · May 19, 2014 · 1h 2m

The speaker emphasizes that foundational Christian truths—such as repentance, faith, and the meaning of baptism—must be continually taught to new and unreached people. He stresses the importance of understanding justification by faith as the foundation, while also warning against spiritual complacency regarding God's holiness. The core message for discipleship is that it requires mastering the basics, as neglecting these foundational conditions will undermine the ability to live out the commands of Christ.

Being A Godly Father - Zac Poonen

Zac Poonen · May 10, 2014 · 59m

The sermon emphasizes the profound responsibility fathers have in revealing God the Father to their children, as they are the primary source of early understanding. Drawing from Abraham's example, a godly father must teach his children to obey God's commands, mirroring Abraham's discipline and Isaac's ultimate obedience. Conversely, the failure of Eli's sons demonstrates how poor leadership and moral decay can corrupt a family's spiritual life.

9.Our Work For God - Zac Poonen

Zac Poonen · May 9, 2014 · 58m

Our service to God must flow directly from our worship and walk with Him, avoiding the extremes of neglecting service or neglecting worship. Drawing from John 17:4, the central message is that we glorify God by completing the specific work He has assigned to us. Just as every part of the body has a necessary function, every member of the Body of Christ has a role to fulfill, regardless of whether it is visible or brings public honor.

8.Our Walk With God - Zac Poonen

Zac Poonen · May 9, 2014 · 58m

True service to God must flow from a genuine walk with Him, not merely from intellectual knowledge. The speaker warns that focusing on doctrine or knowledge (the letter) can be deadly, contrasting this with allowing the life of Jesus to be the guiding light. Ultimately, Christian service is measured by faithfulness in the little things, and the prerequisite for serving God is being free from sin.

5.Building Our Home And The Church - Zac Poonen

Zac Poonen · May 9, 2014 · 57m

The central message is that true Christianity focuses on inner reality rather than outward appearance, contrasting the superficiality of 'dead works' with the deep transformation provided by grace through Christ. The speaker emphasizes that believers must guard against legalism, which focuses on external rules, and instead cultivate an inner life characterized by love, humility, and a desire for spiritual unity in all relationships, including marriage.

New Covenant Servants: 1.Motivated By Love - Zac Poonen

Zac Poonen · May 8, 2014 · 53m

The speaker distinguishes between serving under the old covenant and serving under the new covenant. He explains that the old covenant operated on a basis of obedience to avoid curses and gain rewards, much like parenting. In contrast, the new covenant requires service motivated purely by love for Christ, as exemplified by Jesus's questioning of Peter. True service in the new covenant flows from an inner cleansing and relationship with the Holy Spirit, not merely adherence to external laws.

New Covenant Servants: 3.Doing Christ's Works And Greater Works - Zac Poonen

Zac Poonen · May 8, 2014 · 55m

The speaker discusses the nature of new covenant service, emphasizing that true service must flow from love and result in becoming more Christ-like. He focuses on John 14:12, arguing that believers are called to do works greater than those Jesus performed, which requires diligent study of scripture. Ultimately, he teaches that following Christ means denying one's own will and willingly embracing the cross, mirroring Jesus's life of submitting to the Father's will.

9.Why God Allows His Children To Suffer - Zac Poonen

Zac Poonen · May 7, 2014 · 58m

The speaker argues that many believers misunderstand the transition from the Old to the New Covenant, leading them to find comfort in the failures and struggles described in the Old Testament. He emphasizes that the New Covenant provides something 'better,' exemplified by Jesus' life, which teaches believers to love their enemies rather than seeking vengeance. True spiritual growth requires moving beyond the foundational teachings (like 'kindergarten') to the advanced truths found in the New Testament.

5.Humble Yourself And Be A Servant - Zac Poonen

Zac Poonen · May 7, 2014 · 59m

The central message is that true Christian life requires humility, self-denial, and a focus on serving others rather than self-gain or pride. The speaker emphasizes that achieving this is possible through the power of the Holy Spirit, contrasting this with the impossibility of such obedience in the Old Testament. He urges believers to build the church, recognizing that true devotion is demonstrated by being broken by God's word and seeking the good of the community over personal honor or benefit.

Testing Your Godliness - 1: Love Your Enemy - Santosh Poonen - May 4, 2014

Santosh Poonen · May 5, 2014 · 40m

The speaker emphasizes that true godliness is measured not by programs or activities, but by a deep, increasing love for God and for fellow believers. He argues that a genuine love for God is demonstrated through loving one's spouse, children, and church community self-sacrificially. The message warns against treating Christ or the church as a 'project' or a cause to be promoted, stressing instead that obedience must originate from the Lord's sovereign will.

The reflections centered on the theme of the 'fear of the Lord,' emphasizing that true reverence for God must permeate daily acts, such as prayer, which should be done with genuine meaning rather than rushed through. The speaker also explored profound concepts of humility, drawing from Philippians 2 and Galatians 2, noting that true obedience often requires a willingness to 'die' to self and sin, mirroring Christ's obedience. Finally, the message stressed looking out for the interests of others, always guiding them toward Christ.

Santosh Poonen · Apr 7, 2014 · 56m

The speaker encourages the audience to live mindful of the shortness of life, drawing from Psalm 90, and to seek a heart of wisdom from God. He emphasizes that our legacy should not be based on our skills or achievements, but rather on our relationship with Jesus, who was filled with the Holy Spirit and used that power to do good. The core message is to live intentionally to present a life pleasing to God.

The speaker shares reflections on serving others, drawing heavily from Matthew 6, which warns against practicing righteousness to be noticed by people. The central message is that one should strive to serve in secret, trusting that God sees and will reward actions done for His favor rather than for earthly recognition from family or community. This principle was applied to the speaker's experience of moving and serving within the home.

The speaker emphasizes that true Christian living must first manifest within one's own family life before one can effectively be a witness to the world. He draws heavily from Ephesians, noting that the call to be Spirit-filled must translate into practical obedience regarding spousal relationships, honoring parents, and maintaining proper conduct within the home. Ultimately, obedience to God's word must supersede conflicting commands from parents.

Power to Overcome - Santosh Poonen - March 16, 2014

Santosh Poonen · Mar 17, 2014 · 54m

The central message is the necessity of being an 'overcomer,' a theme repeated throughout Revelation to the seven churches. The speaker emphasizes that overcoming is not a one-time event but a continuous process of perseverance in faith. This overcoming leads to eternal rewards, such as eating from the Tree of Life and receiving eternal life with Christ.
