08.Faith And Obedience - Zac Poonen (With Tamil Translation)
Zac Poonen · Jun 24, 2012 · 27m
True obedience to God is not merely following rules or performing religious acts for reward, but rather it must stem from a deep, sincere faith. The speaker distinguishes between mechanical obedience, which can be rooted in fear or the desire for material profit, and the genuine 'obedience of faith.' Sin, fundamentally, is disobedience stemming from unbelief, and faith is foundational to the entire Christian life, unlike science or worldly knowledge which are constantly revised.

15.Not A Servant But A Son - Zac Poonen (With Tamil Translation)
Zac Poonen · Jun 24, 2012 · 27m
The central message is that the Christian life is defined by being a son of God rather than merely a servant. The speaker emphasizes that the New Covenant relationship allows believers to approach God as Father, a privilege unavailable in the Old Testament. True identity is found in this sonship, which grants inheritance and a destiny to become like Jesus, surpassing any functional title like pastor or evangelist.

He contrasts the Old Covenant's sense of compulsion with the New Covenant's freedom, urging listeners to reject 'dead works' done out of obligation or to impress others. Ultimately, believers should serve and give cheerfully, as if pleasing only God, rather than acting out of fear or calculation.

26.The Renewal Of Our Minds - Zac Poonen (With Tamil Translation)
Zac Poonen · Jun 24, 2012 · 27m
God's way of thinking is vastly different from ours because our wisdom, love, and knowledge are limited, unlike God who sees the total picture. To align with God's will, believers must allow the Holy Spirit to transform their minds, moving away from worldly conformity. This renewal process leads to becoming more like Christ and enables one to discover God's good, acceptable, and perfect will.

Zac Poonen · Jun 24, 2012 · 26m
Jesus is presented as the 'Forerunner' who paved the way for believers to follow God's will. He demonstrated how to live as God originally intended by emptying himself of divine resources while remaining fully God. This example proves that believers can live a life of obedience, leading to the realization that following Christ is possible and exciting, not discouraging.

32.The Humility Of Jesus - Zac Poonen (With Tamil Translation)
Zac Poonen · Jun 24, 2012 · 27m
Jesus' life exemplified profound humility, showing that true obedience involves submitting to authority, even when difficult. This training in brokenness and humility, seen in his life from his humble birth to washing feet and ultimately dying on the cross, prepared him for his ministry. The speaker concludes that the greatest manifestation of Jesus' humility is his willingness to die, and believers should strive to emulate this character.

Zac Poonen · Jun 24, 2012 · 26m
The sermon contrasts obedience under the Old Covenant (law) with obedience in the New Covenant (grace). While the Old Covenant used threats of punishment and promises of earthly rewards to compel obedience, the New Covenant requires obeying the spirit of God's commandments, exemplified by the single commandment to love one another. True grace empowers believers to overcome sin, moving beyond mere external compliance.

45.New-Covenant Home Relationships - Zac Poonen (With Tamil Translation)
Zac Poonen · Jun 24, 2012 · 27m
The sermon emphasizes that the Christian life, particularly in home and work relationships, must reflect the standard of Christ's love. It argues that loving others as Christ loved the Church is impossible by human effort alone, requiring the power of the Holy Spirit. To allow this divine love to flow, one must actively deny the self and remove personal stubbornness, which is identified as the primary hindrance.

46.Love Between Husband And Wife - Zac Poonen (With Tamil Translation)
Zac Poonen · Jun 24, 2012 · 26m
The central message is that a healthy marriage, like the Christian life, is governed by the New Covenant principle of selfless love, mirroring Christ's love. This requires both husband and wife to forgive each other completely, remembering that God forgives us afresh every morning, not keeping a tally of past sins. Furthermore, the sermon emphasizes that while the wife is called to submit to her husband as she submits to Christ, this is presented as God's ordained order, not a reflection of inferiority.

Zac Poonen · Jun 24, 2012 · 27m
The sermon emphasizes that raising children in God's ways is crucial for a secure Christian life, citing Genesis 18 where Abraham's obedience was necessary for God's plan. It stresses that parents must actively teach children biblical principles, as they cannot learn these truths on their own. Furthermore, it advises fathers to discipline with love, avoiding anger, and notes that discipline should transition as children mature.

Zac Poonen · Jun 24, 2012 · 27m
The sermon emphasizes that Christians must be faithful in their workplaces by submitting to authority, treating their jobs as service to God, and performing their duties from the heart rather than just to please people. It draws heavily on Ephesians 6, instructing believers to be obedient to their masters and to conduct themselves with integrity, even when they are dissatisfied with their employment or church. The core message is to maintain order and respect in all spheres of life, recognizing that governing authorities are established by God.

Zac Poonen · Jun 24, 2012 · 27m
True prayer must originate from the heart, shifting focus from self-centered desires to God. The speaker emphasizes that the first priority in prayer must be glorifying God's name, followed by longing for the Kingdom of God to come. Finally, one must desire to do God's will by waiting for His direction and obeying immediately, mirroring the obedience of angels.

53.Abraham's Testings - Zac Poonen (With Tamil Translation)
Zac Poonen · Jun 24, 2012 · 27m
The sermon uses Abraham's life to illustrate that God has a plan for us, but our own mistakes and compromises can derail it. Abraham failed by initially staying too close to his father and relatives, and later by going to Egypt during a famine. The core message is that God tests us through difficult times, such as famine or financial shortage, to see if we prioritize Him above all else, requiring us to separate from worldly attachments to fulfill His will.

56.God's Part And Our Part - Zac Poonen (With Tamil Translation)
Zac Poonen · Jun 24, 2012 · 27m
The sermon discusses Paul's letter to the Ephesians, noting its division into two parts: the first three chapters detail what God has done for us in Christ, while the next three chapters explain how we should respond. The speaker warns against Christians who focus only on either the foundation (God's work) or the superstructure (our response), emphasizing that a balanced understanding of both is necessary for a complete Christian life. Ultimately, true Christian living requires acknowledging our inability to achieve holiness by our own effort and relying entirely on God's power through Christ.

57.Judging Ourselves And Not Others - Zac Poonen (With Tamil Translation)
Zac Poonen · Jun 24, 2012 · 27m
The sermon emphasizes that believers should focus on judging and examining their own lives rather than criticizing others. Drawing analogies from electricity and the law, the speaker argues that true progress requires self-examination, as one cannot build upon the failures of others.

God's wisdom is so great that it can take the worst human failures and convert them into the greatest blessings. Believers must trust this process, believing that God can use their mistakes to fulfill His ultimate purpose for their lives.

The central message is that true fellowship, modeled after the body of Christ, requires believers to build their relationship with Christ first. The speaker emphasizes that Christ does not want to work independently but desires to work collaboratively with His followers. This cooperation is best demonstrated by adopting Christ's attributes of gentleness and humility, which are contrary to the natural human tendencies toward hardness and pride, both in personal relationships and church leadership.
