6.The Lord Must Rule Our Minds - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jan 30, 2015 · 1h 0m
The speaker argues that understanding God's Word requires approaching it with the humility of a child, as great scholars often fail to do. He uses the construction of the Tabernacle in the Old Testament as an analogy, emphasizing that God's glory must rest upon the structure, which represents the Christian home and church. The central message is that believers must build their lives and churches according to the precise commands of the Lord, not just in spirit, but in every detail.

8.What Worship Really Is - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jan 29, 2015 · 33m
True worship involves submitting to God's authority and listening only to what God says, rather than merely going through ritualistic motions. The speaker contrasts this with the temptation of self-worship, referencing Lucifer's desire for worship. He outlines three components of genuine worship: prayer (asking for needs), giving (offering thanks), and thanksgiving (thanking God for what He has done).

13.What True Worship Involves - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jan 28, 2015 · 53m
True worship requires understanding that God's thoughts and ways are fundamentally different from our own, demanding constant self-examination. The speaker emphasizes that genuine faith involves humbly submitting one's thinking to scripture, rather than relying on personal knowledge or religious tradition. A key lesson drawn from Job is acknowledging that everything—including intelligence and life itself—is a gift from God, which fosters thankfulness and humility.

2.Not A Servant But The Bride - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jan 28, 2015 · 42m
The speaker cautions against misinterpreting scripture, using the Pharisees' twisting of divorce laws in Matthew 19 as a primary example. He argues that people often twist verses to suit their desires rather than following God's true will. Ultimately, he contrasts the old covenant's legalistic relationship with God to the new covenant's desired 'bridal relationship,' which requires a soft heart over a hard one.

1.Come Away From The Law - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jan 28, 2015 · 36m
The speaker argues that the relationship God desires with humanity is not one based on the law, which treated Israel like a master-servant dynamic. Instead, God desires a relationship akin to a wife's devotion to her husband, which is best understood through the Song of Solomon. True devotion comes from love, not fear or transactional 'business' with God, and the ultimate fulfillment is found in Christ's sacrifice, leading to a life of joy.

10.Righteousness And Peace Meet At The Cross - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jan 28, 2015 · 27m
The sermon emphasizes that righteousness and peace only meet at the cross, referencing Isaiah 55:6 and Romans 3:21-22. The speaker uses the analogy of a judge who, despite his love for his son, must uphold justice by demanding payment for a crime. True reconciliation, where justice and love meet, is only possible through Jesus Christ, who took the punishment for sin on the cross.

Obedience Is Better Than Sacrifice - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jan 20, 2015 · 49m
The central message is that obedience to God's commandments is superior to any act of sacrifice. The speaker uses examples from Scripture, such as King Saul and the contrast between Martha's service and Mary's listening, to illustrate that outward acts of piety or sacrifice are meaningless without genuine obedience. Ultimately, true understanding of what pleases the Lord comes only from diligent study of the Bible, as exemplified by Jesus Christ.

Who Can Build God’s House? - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jan 13, 2015 · 4m 56s
The speaker uses the historical example of Solomon building the Temple on Mount Morah to illustrate a spiritual principle. He emphasizes that the location chosen for God's house was significant because it was the place where Abraham offered Isaac and where David offered sacrifices. The central message is that one must never offer God anything that costs nothing; true devotion requires sacrifice, whether it costs money, health, or inconvenience.

Revelation On Christ And The Church - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jan 9, 2015 · 54m
The central message emphasizes that true understanding of scripture, particularly regarding the Church, comes not from mere memorization or intellectual study, but from divine revelation given by the Father. The speaker stresses the difference between knowing something in the mind and receiving a revelation in the heart, citing passages like Matthew 16:18 and John 17:23 to support the necessity of the Holy Spirit's illumination. He advises believers to constantly ask God for revelation to avoid being deceived by superficial understanding.

All That Jesus Taught (Bible Study – 8 of 80) - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Dec 29, 2014 · 25m
The speaker emphasizes that fulfilling the Great Commission requires teaching every single thing Jesus commanded, not just basic conversion. He draws heavily on Jesus' example of emptying himself of divine privileges—such as immunity to temptation or fatigue—to become fully relatable to humanity. This self-emptying was necessary so that when Jesus commanded us to 'follow me,' it was an example we could realistically emulate, making Him a relatable High Priest who sympathizes with our struggles.

All That Jesus Taught (Bible Study – 5 of 80) - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Dec 26, 2014 · 25m
The central message is that Christian teaching must be rooted in personal experience; one must 'do' what Jesus commanded before teaching others to do it. The speaker emphasizes that true discipleship requires lived obedience, warning against hypocrisy in preaching. He uses examples from the Great Commission, the Gospel of Luke, and the story of Cornelius to illustrate that we are only permitted to teach what we have personally experienced.

All That Jesus Taught (Bible Study – 3 of 80) - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Dec 26, 2014 · 25m
The sermon emphasizes that making disciples requires teaching people to *do* everything Jesus commanded, not just knowing about it. The speaker draws a distinction between merely teaching knowledge and teaching practical obedience, using the example of swimming. He warns against selectively obeying commandments, citing Jesus' warning that canceling even the least commandment can result in being considered 'least in the Kingdom of Heaven.'

Recognizing Jesus While Breaking Bread - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Dec 10, 2014 · 24m
The speaker analyzes the significance of the 'breaking of bread' in Acts 2, noting it was a regular practice alongside teaching, fellowship, and prayer. He cautions that like baptism, it can become a mere ritual rather than a genuine spiritual act. The sermon emphasizes that true Christian life requires deep repentance and understanding of scripture, using the disciples' misunderstanding of Jesus's mission as an example of needing correction.

Chennai Conference - 2014 : Session - 2 - Recognizing the voice of satan - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Nov 29, 2014 · 58m
The message emphasizes the necessity of hearing God's word first, comparing it to a newborn baby's innate need for milk. The speaker warns that many Christians are spiritually premature because they have not properly repented of sin, noting that a true sign of being born again is a deep longing for God's word. To distinguish God's voice from the devil's, one must recognize that the enemy often minimizes sin, whereas God's word clearly defines sin's seriousness.
