Zac Poonen - Don't Imagine That You Are Spiritual

Zac Poonen · Sep 28, 2020 · 58m

The central message warns against both overestimating and underestimating oneself spiritually. The speaker cautions that modern tendencies, influenced by psychology, can lead people to think too highly of themselves, a danger exemplified by the Pharisee. True spiritual health requires a constant, humble self-assessment, recognizing that the greatest enemies are selfishness and pride, which must be addressed internally rather than through external displays of humility.

Questions & Answers at RLCF Family Conference 2009 - Zac Poonen - August 16, 2009 (Audio Only)

Zac Poonen · Sep 23, 2020 · 1h 20m

The speaker advises believers to focus their curiosity on matters that help them live a godly life, rather than getting bogged down in unanswered theological questions. He explains the difference between the 'old man' (our sinful nature) and the 'flesh,' noting that while the old man is spiritually dead at baptism, the temptations (lusts) remain active. To combat sin, the 'new man' must be kept strong by consistently feeding on God's Word, seeking fellowship, and actively running from temptation.

Accepted by God - Zac Poonen - August 15, 2009 (Audio Only)

Zac Poonen · Sep 23, 2020 · 59m

The speaker emphasizes that merely admiring Jesus is insufficient; one must actively partake in and follow His life. He critiques a common understanding of the gospel that only promises forgiveness for sin without addressing deeper issues like anger, lust, or the love of money. True gospel proclamation must focus on the resurrection—Jesus' conquest over death—which grants an indestructible life, not just temporary reprieve from sin.

Zac Poonen - Purifying Ourselves to Meet Christ at His Return

Zac Poonen · Aug 24, 2020 · 17m

The central message is that Christians must actively purify themselves to be ready to meet Christ at His return. This purification involves more than just intellectual agreement; it requires diligently clearing one's conscience 24/7 by settling relationships, forgiving others, and confessing wrongs. The speaker emphasizes that while grace is powerful, believers must continually confront the 'flesh' which still serves the law of sin, striving to live entirely under the law of God's love.

Zac Poonen - Judge Yourself Before Breaking Bread

Zac Poonen · Aug 3, 2020 · 6m

The speaker emphasizes that participating in the Lord's Table requires deep self-examination, recognizing that Christ died specifically for the individual's sin. He warns that treating the observance merely as a ritual without a serious attitude toward sin can lead to spiritual danger, citing that self-judgment is necessary for spiritual health. Ultimately, believers must maintain a radical attitude toward sin in all aspects of life—thoughts, words, deeds, and motives—when remembering Christ's sacrifice.

The Way to Growth in Christlikeness-1 | கிறிஸ்துவின் சாயலுக்கு மாறும் வளர்ச்சியின் வழி-1 |Zac Poonen

Zac Poonen · Jul 23, 2020 · 49m

The central message is that Christian life is a process of continuous spiritual growth toward Christlikeness, which is possible through the New Covenant. True growth requires a deep understanding of sin—not just knowing what actions are forbidden, but understanding sin as falling short of God's standard, exemplified by Christ's life. This understanding of sin is crucial for genuine repentance and spiritual maturity.

Our Three Fold Blindness Removed | நமது மும்மடங்கு பார்வையற்ற நிலை நீக்கப்பட்டது | Zac Poonen |Tamil

Zac Poonen · Jul 21, 2020 · 1h 9m

The speaker discusses how Satan blinds people's eyes to the seriousness of sin, preventing them from accepting the free forgiveness offered through Jesus' sacrifice. He emphasizes that true understanding of sin's gravity is necessary for repentance, comparing it to a life-threatening illness versus a minor cold. The central message is the need to confess sins and receive complete forgiveness through the blood of Jesus Christ, which provides a cleansing far superior to any earthly remedy.

19th July 2020 - Sunday Church Service | God Requires Honesty And Compassion - Zac Poonen

Zac Poonen · Jul 19, 2020 · 1h 21m

The message emphasizes that God requires both honesty and compassion from His people. Drawing from Micah 6:6, the speaker argues that God desires more than mere ritualistic offerings; instead, He requires us to 'do justice,' which means treating others fairly, and to show kindness and mercy. These principles are necessary because we ourselves need God's forgiveness.

The Crucified Life | சிலுவையில் அறையுண்ட வாழ்க்கை | Zac Poonen | Tamil

Zac Poonen · Jul 16, 2020 · 54m

The speaker contrasts the human focus on physical health with the spiritual necessity of conquering sin. He argues that sin is more serious than physical sickness, using the analogy of a gap in marriage or a hand carrying infection. True spirituality requires actively crucifying the flesh with its desires, a process that goes beyond merely confessing past sins through Christ's blood. The ultimate solution for the corrupt flesh is to belong to Christ and crucify it.

The Root Of Our Sin | நமது பாவத்தின் வேர் | Zac Poonen | Tamil

Zac Poonen · Jul 15, 2020 · 1h 1m

The speaker argues that merely addressing the outward manifestations of sin (the 'fruit') is insufficient for true victory. Instead, one must identify and confront the root cause of sin. Drawing from scripture, he identifies the origin of sin not as a specific transgression, but as pride—pride in beauty, wisdom, or position—exemplified by Lucifer's fall. He warns that spiritual gifts and power can be deceptive, as the devil possesses tremendous power, emphasizing that true victory requires addressing the root issue through Christ.

A Better Life or Divine Life ? | நல்ல வாழ்வா? தெய்வீக வாழ்வா? | Zac Poonen | Tamil

Zac Poonen · Jul 15, 2020 · 1h 0m

The speaker argues that Christianity often misunderstands the New Covenant's replacement of the Old. He uses the analogy of a severely damaged scooter to illustrate that human nature, inherited from Adam, is too corrupt to be repaired by self-effort or mere adherence to rules. True transformation requires recognizing this inherent brokenness and accepting the radical change offered through Christ's sacrifice, which necessitates daily self-denial to live a divine life rather than merely a 'good' one.

Hatred For Sin | ಪಾಪವನ್ನು ಹಗೆ ಮಾಡುವಂತದ್ದು | Zac Poonen Illustrations | Kannada

Zac Poonen · Jul 13, 2020 · 3m 27s

The speaker urges believers to have a desperate passion to be filled with the Holy Spirit, questioning their contentment with a defeated Christian life. He emphasizes that the blood of Jesus Christ is sufficient to cleanse all sin, and believers should not treat it lightly. The core message is a deep desire to hate sin and cleanse oneself immediately upon realizing one has sinned.

Zac Poonen - The Way To Growth In Christlikeness - 6

Zac Poonen · Jun 29, 2020 · 1h 0m

True Christ-likeness requires more than just following the Sermon on the Mount; it demands a deep commitment to discipleship, including loving Jesus above all else and being willing to die to oneself. The teaching emphasizes that righteousness must be internal, addressing sins like anger and sexual lust, and warns that lying is fundamentally linked to hypocrisy. Ultimately, believers must guard against legalism by adhering strictly to the word of God, neither adding to nor subtracting from it.

The speaker addresses common struggles, starting with discomfort when sharing responsibility, attributing it to a desire for sole glory and the loss of personal control. He emphasizes that true spiritual growth requires acknowledging sin and yielding to others, citing marriage as a major catalyst for discovering selfishness. The discussion also covers sexual temptation, explaining that God allows this urge early to teach self-mastery through active resistance, and concludes by urging believers to live every action, even eating and drinking, for the glory of God.

Entering Into The Rest Of God's Perfect Love | Zac Poonen

Zac Poonen · Jun 22, 2020 · 56m

The sermon emphasizes that while we should not fear God's provision, we must actively fear sin, particularly harboring unloving thoughts or bitterness against others. True rest comes from a clear conscience, which means confessing all known sin to the Lord. The ultimate standard for sin is anything that comes short of the glory of God, which is defined by the law of love, meaning anything contrary to God's love.

Zac Poonen · Jun 15, 2020 · 56m

The central message is that true growth in Christlikeness requires moving beyond merely adhering to external religious rules, which is insufficient. True righteousness must exceed that of the Pharisees by addressing the inner life—thoughts, attitudes, and motives—rather than just visible actions. The speaker emphasizes that the root of sin, such as murder, is internal anger, and true obedience means cleansing the heart from anger, which is the foundation for a life built on Christ.

Being Servants of Christ's Body: A Word to Elders - Zac Poonen - May 2, 2020

Zac Poonen · May 5, 2020 · 1h 6m

The central message emphasizes that Christians must strive for perfection, specifically by loving enemies, doing good to those who hate them, and praying for persecutors, as commanded by Jesus. This requires a clear conscience, as unforgiveness prevents one from being forgiven and hearing God's word. The speaker stresses that forgiveness is a deliberate exercise of the will, not merely a feeling, drawing parallels to Jesus' forgiveness on the cross.
