22.Examples Of Humility - Zac Poonen

Zac Poonen · Aug 17, 2017 · 26m

The speaker emphasizes that humility is foundational to receiving God's grace, which is necessary to overcome sin. He contrasts the condemnation shown by Jesus to sinners (like the woman caught in adultery or the thief on the cross) with the strong rebuke given to the proud Pharisees. God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble, suggesting that pride prevents the necessary spiritual rain for the fruit of the Spirit to grow.

Our Birthright As Believers - Zac Poonen

Zac Poonen · Jan 31, 2017 · 58m

A key test of spiritual maturity is being thankful for one another, which prepares the heart to receive God's word.

Zac Poonen · Jan 14, 2017 · 1h 15m

The sermon argues that true wisdom requires confronting and overcoming known sins, using anger as a primary example. The speaker contrasts worldly self-control (like yoga) with true spiritual wisdom, noting that suppressing anger internally is dangerous. He emphasizes that anger dwells in the heart of a fool and that believers must emulate Jesus' non-retaliatory response, understanding that anger itself is a sin unless it concerns the glory of God.

The First Step To Get Heavenly Wisdom (பரத்திற்குரிய ஞானத்தைப் பெறுவதற்கான முதல் படி) - Zac Poonen

Zac Poonen · Jan 14, 2017 · 1h 13m

True divine wisdom is fundamentally different from human cleverness, as illustrated by Jesus' words in Matthew 11:25. The Bible reveals profound truths not to the wise or intelligent, but to the humble, like little children. Therefore, accessing God's wisdom requires abandoning self-reliance and embracing a posture of deep humility and helpless dependence on Christ.

Remembering The Slain Lamb - Zac Poonen

Zac Poonen · Jan 11, 2017 · 17m

The sermon draws from Revelation 5 to illustrate that true worship in heaven is entirely centered on Jesus Christ, requiring believers to humble themselves and be small in their own eyes. The speaker emphasizes that sin is fundamentally rebellion against God's authority, and only Jesus, who was slain, was qualified to pay the price for humanity's redemption. Following Jesus means adopting a 'lion-lamb combination': being fearless against sin and the devil, yet meek and willing to endure suffering before people.

Casting Away All Confidence In Self - Zac Poonen

Zac Poonen · Jan 11, 2017 · 1h 17m

The speaker argues that while the Old Covenant was fulfilled in Christ, understanding the Old Testament is crucial for grasping the New Testament. He emphasizes that the greatest barrier to experiencing God's presence is not merely overcoming specific sins like anger or dirty thoughts, but conquering one's inherent self-will, which is symbolized by the veil. True victory comes from denying one's self-will daily, allowing God to enter deeply into the heart.

THE TRUTH SHALL SET YOU FREE: 5.Freedom For Youth - Zac Poonen

Zac Poonen · Jul 21, 2016 · 1h 22m

The sermon emphasizes that to enter the Kingdom of God, one must approach it with the purity and simplicity of a child, rather than relying on intellectual knowledge or worldly status. Jesus taught that God looks at the heart, not the head, suggesting that our hearts become soiled by the world, regardless of our age or religious standing. True renewal requires a childlike humility and receptivity.

THE TRUTH SHALL SET YOU FREE: 4.Freedom From Pride - Zac Poonen

Zac Poonen · Jul 21, 2016 · 1h 15m

True freedom comes from recognizing and shedding the pride, preconceived notions, and cultural biases absorbed from childhood and local churches. To achieve this, one must study the Word of God with deep reverence, understanding that the full truth is found not just in isolated verses, but in the balance between scriptures. Furthermore, believers must resist the temptation to preach or live life based on the approval of people rather than the pure truth of Christ.

Zac Poonen · Jul 20, 2016 · 1h 7m

The message emphasizes that the Church must function as a true body where every member, regardless of perceived gift or prominence, is necessary for the whole. It cautions against comparing oneself to others' gifts, warning that such envy often stems from a desire for personal honor rather than building up the body. Ultimately, the talk stresses recognizing that all our abilities—beauty, intelligence, position—are gifts from God's grace and must be approached with humility.

The central message emphasizes that Christian growth is a continuous, daily process requiring humility before God. Drawing parallels between Genesis 1's creation and the believer's life, the speaker argues that just as the Earth had no choice but to follow God's word, believers have the free choice every day to respond to God's guidance through His Word. This constant reception of grace and daily obedience is necessary for spiritual progress.

Fellowship - Another Mark Of Growth by Zac Poonen

Zac Poonen · May 23, 2016 · 1h 30m

The primary mark of spiritual growth is increasing humility, which must be before God, not merely for human reputation. True humility is evidenced by obedience to God's will, as God gives grace to the humble but resists the proud. The speaker emphasizes that sinning proves one is not under grace, and spiritual growth is a progression of overcoming sin in thought, word, deed, attitude, and motive.
