Zac Poonen · Sep 23, 2012 · 59m
The most important focus in the Christian life is not merely reaching heaven, but being conformed to the image of Jesus Christ, which is God's predetermined destination for us.

Going Into Labor With God's Work - Santosh Poonen - September 2, 2012
Santosh Poonen · Sep 2, 2012 · 54m
The message uses the concept of 'labor'—drawing parallels between childbirth and ministry—to urge the congregation to become dedicated laborers for God's work. Jesus sent out the 70, not as mere employees, but as laborers expected to face challenges like lambs among wolves.

Zac Poonen · Jul 31, 2012 · 1h 14m
The central message is that believers are called to live as a 'fragrance of Christ' in every area of life, which goes beyond mere words. This aroma is cultivated by being alert to needs and serving humbly, exemplified by washing feet. Ultimately, this aroma is achieved by consciously crucifying the flesh daily, choosing Christ's way over the 'stink of Adam' in every moment of temptation and decision.

Discipleship And The New Covenant - Zac Poonen (15 July 2012)
Zac Poonen · Jul 25, 2012 · 1h 5m
The speaker emphasizes that the Great Commission requires two parts: preaching the gospel (Mark 16:15) and making disciples (Matthew 28:19-20). True discipleship involves more than just accepting Christ; it requires loving Jesus above all else, denying oneself daily, and prioritizing Christ over possessions. Furthermore, disciples must be taught to live by every command of Christ, including loving enemies and practicing radical obedience, rather than just hearing about salvation.

"Fellowship In the Body of Christ" by Zac Poonen (8 July 2012)
Zac Poonen · Jul 11, 2012 · 46m
The sermon emphasizes that the Church is meant to be a unified 'body' connected inwardly to Christ, unlike a mere 'congregation' of people with shared interests. True unity and function within the body depend not just on spending time together, but on the perfect, internal connection to the Head (Christ). To be an effective member, one must possess both spiritual health (freedom from sin) and power.
