10.God's Two Fold Provision - Zac Poonen

Zac Poonen · Aug 4, 2017 · 25m

God's provision for humanity is twofold: first, forgiveness for past sins through Christ's death, and second, the power to overcome the continuous sinful nature inherited from Adam. The speaker emphasizes that true Christian life requires both pardon (forgiveness) and power (the Holy Spirit's enabling grace). Furthermore, justification means God treats the believer as if they never sinned, granting immense boldness before Him.

4.The Fall Of Man - Zac Poonen

Zac Poonen · Aug 3, 2017 · 25m

The sermon examines the Fall of Man, using Adam and Eve's attempt to hide behind trees and wear fig leaves as an analogy for modern sin. These fig leaves symbolize humanity's tendency to cover up sin through works, rituals, or pretense to earn God's acceptance. The central message is that true acceptance comes from realizing God's unconditional love, allowing believers to approach Him openly rather than hiding behind works or masks.

1.God's Purpose For Man - Zac Poonen

Zac Poonen · Aug 3, 2017 · 24m

God created man with a unique spirit, distinguishing him from animals, and this spirit is the source of our connection to God. Sin causes this spirit to die, leading humanity to function like animals, but accepting Christ revives this spirit through the Holy Spirit. Christians must constantly choose to live by this divine spirit rather than succumbing to the desires of the physical body, which is the path of sin.

The speaker addresses the impossibility of forgetting sins when forgiving others, asserting that while memory is uncontrollable, one has control over their will to choose not to dwell on past wrongs. He then shifts to discussing the depth of the Atonement, arguing that the true price for sin is eternal separation from God, which only an infinite being (God) could pay. The speaker emphasizes that the greatest suffering Jesus endured was the three hours of being forsaken by the Father, which proves the depth of God's sacrifice.

The speaker discusses what it means to worship in the spirit, arguing that modern concepts of praise and worship differ from biblical understanding. He also clarifies the definition of sin, distinguishing between sins of commission (doing wrong) and sins of omission (failing to do good). Ultimately, he advises believers to live freely in fellowship with Jesus Christ, recognizing that God's grace allows enjoyment of life provided it does not constitute sin.

The speaker emphasizes that Christians often live in spiritual poverty because they fail to fully grasp the inheritance purchased for them through Christ. True deliverance from sin's nature, passion, and pride is not achieved merely by confessing sins or relying on the blood of Christ, but by being crucified with Christ and subsequently living by faith in Him. This exchange means that 'no longer I who lives,' but rather Christ lives within the believer.

The speaker explains that assurance of being born again comes from the joint work of the Holy Spirit and God's Word, not from feelings. True assurance is found by sincerely confessing sin, believing in Christ's death and resurrection, and relying on the Spirit's witness. He warns against legalism, arguing that true godliness is found by looking to Jesus, who exemplified mercy rather than strict adherence to rules.

God is Light and God is Love - Zac Poonen - May 26, 2017

Zac Poonen · May 27, 2017 · 55m

The central message is that the believer's life should reflect the 'beauty of the Lord' shining from within, which is a hallmark of the New Covenant. The speaker warns against a superficial Christianity where outward religious activity masks a fading glory, comparing it to the Old Covenant. True evidence of God's presence is a life lived in the Spirit—characterized by immediate confession of sin and quick reconciliation with others—rather than mere feeling or performance.

7. Zac Poonen - Those Who Give God Their Best

Zac Poonen · May 27, 2017 · 1h 9m

The central message is that God accepts offerings based on the heart's attitude, not the offering itself. Drawing from the story of Cain and Abel, the speaker emphasizes that giving God one's very best—whether it's time, energy, or material goods—stems from a heart that recognizes God's prior bestowment. Furthermore, the sermon warns that even a perfect offering will be rejected if the individual is unreconciled with their brother, citing Matthew 5.

The sermon continues the study of what Jesus taught, focusing on the wrong attitude of anxiety from Matthew 6:25-34. The speaker emphasizes that anxiety is not a mere weakness but a sin, comparable to other sins Jesus warned against. He argues that since God is our Heavenly Father, we should trust His provision, comparing our care for our lives and needs to the provision given to the birds of the air, who do not sow or reap.

All That Jesus Taught (Bible Study – 20 of 80) - Zac Poonen (with Romanian Subtitles)

Zac Poonen · Apr 24, 2017 · 25m

This study examines the teachings of Jesus, focusing on the 'wrong attitudes' Christians must eliminate. Key areas covered include anger, sexually sinful thoughts, and lying. The speaker emphasizes understanding the spirit of Jesus' radical teachings on revenge and non-resistance—such as turning the other cheek—by comparing them with other scriptures, like lending money expecting nothing in return. The core message is to understand the spirit of Christ's commands rather than taking them literally.

All That Jesus Taught (Bible Study – 18 of 80) - Zac Poonen (with Romanian Subtitles)

Zac Poonen · Apr 24, 2017 · 25m

The sermon focuses on Jesus' teachings from the Sermon on the Mount, specifically addressing sin in thought, such as lust and anger. The speaker emphasizes that overcoming these sins requires a genuine fullness of the Holy Spirit, which grants self-control over the tongue and eyes. True freedom from sin is achieved through radical honesty, confessing sins to the offended party, and actively fleeing temptation.

The True Grace Of God - Zac Poonen

Zac Poonen · Apr 5, 2017 · 1h 28m

The speaker warns that much of modern Christianity has drifted from biblical truth, often being influenced by money and counterfeit spiritual movements. He emphasizes that the true measure of the Holy Spirit's fullness is emulating Jesus Christ, not following charismatic examples. He urges listeners to examine their lives for sin, particularly financial dishonesty, and to be wary of deception by comparing teachings only to Scripture and the life of Christ.

Lo que DIOS piensa de tu exterior - Zac Ponnen (with Spanish subtitles)

Zac Poonen · Mar 22, 2017 · 30m

The central message is that God judges the heart, not the outward appearance, citing 1 Samuel 16:7. The speaker contrasts the outward religion of the Old Covenant with the inward focus required by the New Testament, emphasizing that true righteousness must surpass mere adherence to external rules, such as those practiced by the Pharisees. He stresses that internal sins, like anger or lust (especially through pornography), are just as damning as physical transgressions.

Baptism And Freedom From Sin - Zac Poonen

Zac Poonen · Mar 16, 2017 · 38m

The central message emphasizes that true Christian life requires moving beyond mere activity or fellowship to a deep, personal devotion to Jesus Christ, which is symbolized by passing through the veil of death to self. The speaker stresses that believers should not accept a pattern of continuous sinning, comparing it to a child who cannot walk after a certain age. Freedom from sin is achieved through a genuine conversion and being filled with the Holy Spirit, not just through outward church attendance.

Question and Answer Session - Zac Poonen

Zac Poonen · Mar 6, 2017 · 1h 35m

The speaker addresses several questions, emphasizing that true victory over sin comes from accepting that one is crucified with Christ, leading to a mindset that is undisturbed by slander. He discusses the physical body's mortality, noting that while believers have special protection from dying prematurely, sickness is natural because the body is made from cursed earth. Finally, he advises speaking with grace, recognizing that obedience to God's law (like not lying) supersedes obedience to a spouse, and outlines the father's role in disciplining and instructing children in the Lord.

Freedom from Anger and Sexual Lust (கோபம் பாலிய இச்சையிலிருந்து விடுதலை) - Zac Poonen

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.

All That Jesus Taught (Bible Study – 17 of 80) - Zac Poonen (with Romanian Subtitles)

Zac Poonen · Dec 12, 2016 · 25m

The speaker emphasizes that Christians often misunderstand Jesus' teachings, focusing only on forgiveness rather than true salvation from sin. He uses the examples of anger and lust to show that merely confessing and being forgiven is not the same as being saved from the pattern of sin. True discipleship requires understanding that Jesus' name means 'Savior,' meaning deliverance from sin, not just pardon for it.

The Importance Of Fellowship - Zac Poonen

Zac Poonen · Dec 12, 2016 · 1h 8m

The speaker emphasizes that true Christian fellowship is distinct from worldly friendship and requires freedom from sin. He warns against hypocrisy, urging listeners to live before God alone rather than performing for the approval of others. Ultimately, genuine fellowship requires honesty, even if one feels spiritually immature, as pretense hinders spiritual growth.

The Obedience Of Faith And Love – Zac Poonen

Zac Poonen · Sep 9, 2016 · 55m

The speaker urges believers to obey God's commandments as readily as they would follow a doctor's prescription for a cure. He emphasizes that the promise of sitting with Christ on the throne in eternity is conditional upon overcoming, which is an individual responsibility. True overcoming requires actively fighting daily battles against sin, unlike the misconception that Jesus never struggled.

Partaking of Jesus’ Life Through Death to Our Self-Life - Zac Poonen - August 17, 2016

Zac Poonen · Aug 22, 2016 · 1h 13m

The sermon emphasizes that true Christian life involves a death to self, mirroring the death of Christ. Believers must actively participate in this self-denial to truly partake in Jesus' life. This process requires a deep commitment to crucifying the old self.

GOD SHOWS US HIS WAY | 4.Learning The Fear Of God | Zac Poonen |

Zac Poonen · Aug 16, 2016 · 58m

The speaker emphasizes that understanding God's way requires grasping the seriousness of sin, contrasting the Old Covenant's tangible penalties for sin with the New Covenant's spiritual standard. He argues that many Christians treat sin lightly, failing to appreciate the immense value of Christ's blood, which redeems us far beyond any earthly payment. The core message is a warning about the danger of harboring anger in the heart, as this constitutes guilt even before speaking, and the only escape is through acknowledging the need for God's grace, not merely through ritualistic confession.

The central message is that human pride prevents us from understanding God's superior ways, which are vastly different from our own. True understanding of God's ways comes through humility, much like a child who asks questions without shame. The speaker emphasizes that humility leads to peace in relationships and life decisions, contrasting it with the pitfalls of pride.
