Scoffing Makes Fetters Stronger - Charles Banna
Charles Banna · May 24, 2018 · 38m
The sermon explores the danger of scoffing, drawing from Psalm 1, which contrasts the blessed life of the righteous with the paths of the wicked, sinners, and scoffers. The speaker identifies two main groups of scoffers: those who mock authorities or God's messengers (like the boys mocking Elisha), and the arrogant who scoff at things they do not understand. Ultimately, the message warns that God's patience has limits, citing examples like the Ark and Sodom, and encourages delighting in God's Word instead of mocking truth.

Bobby McDonald · May 15, 2018 · 19m
The speaker shares how his life with God transformed from a shallow understanding of faith to a deep appreciation for God's overflowing love, which is revealed through New Covenant truths. He emphasizes that true Christian life involves more than just avoiding sin; it requires a radical transformation of one's inner self and embracing the cross. Ultimately, he stresses that genuine church fellowship is impossible without each member actively carrying their cross.

Seeing the Evil Present in a "Good" Life - Santosh Poonen - May 13, 2018
Santosh Poonen · May 14, 2018 · 44m
The sermon encourages the congregation to remember that being the light of the world means enduring trials and hardships, as God intends for His light to shine through our difficulties. Furthermore, the speaker strongly cautions against the sin of gossip, noting that speaking about others in their absence is almost always gossip. True spirituality, according to James 1:26, requires not only religious acts but also the discipline of bridling one's tongue.

3. Zac Poonen - The Way Of The Cross
Zac Poonen · May 13, 2018 · 51m
The central message is that true fellowship with God and with others requires embracing the 'way of the cross,' which means dying to one's own will. Just as Adam and Eve could not access the Tree of Life after sin, humanity must follow Christ's example of self-denial. This cross is necessary both for restoring fellowship with God and for maintaining right relationships with others.

6th May 2018 - Scoffing Makes Fetters Stronger - Charles Banna
Charles Banna · May 6, 2018 · 1h 28m
The sermon uses the example of Jesus healing a woman on the Sabbath to discuss the hypocrisy of those who restrict God's work. The speaker emphasizes that God's power and grace are always present to free us from bondage, just as Jesus freed the woman. The central message is that God works in ways we cannot see, making a way where there seems to be no way.

8th April 2018 - Folly Of Worry
Charles Banna · Apr 8, 2018 · 1h 20m
The speaker warns against the subtle but grave sin of worry, noting that Jesus specifically warned against it four times in Matthew 6. He emphasizes that worry is like carrying fire in one's bosom, suggesting that instead of worrying, believers should trust God's provision and focus on the present day.

Joshua Yendrapati - Emptied From Vessel To Vessel
Joshua Yendrapati · Apr 2, 2018 · 4m 37s
The sermon uses the analogy of wine being poured from vessel to vessel to explain spiritual purification. Just as wine settles and purifies through repeated transfers, Christians are purified by going through trials, which are necessary to shed sin and become more like Christ. The key takeaway is that while trials are inevitable, remaining steady and trusting God through them allows for deeper transformation and spiritual growth.

Bobby McDonald - Part of God's Plan
Bobby McDonald · Mar 12, 2018 · 16m
The central message is that Christians must live as new creations, no longer living for themselves but for the one who died and rose again—Christ. To achieve this, believers must strive to please God in all aspects of life, which involves cultivating a heart that desires God's will over the desires of the flesh. The speaker emphasizes developing a hatred for sin and a deep love for righteousness to remain sensitive to God's leading.

Starting Well But Finishing Badly - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Mar 9, 2018 · 1h 25m
The speaker uses the Israelites' failure to enter the Promised Land, despite experiencing many miracles, as a warning that spiritual gifts and experiences do not guarantee God's favor. He emphasizes that Christians must guard against carnal living, even while exercising spiritual gifts, and reminds the audience that every temptation they face is within their ability to overcome because God is faithful. The ultimate way of escape from temptation is through humility.

Bobby McDonald - When we are angry or someone is angry at us
Bobby McDonald · Mar 5, 2018 · 20m
The central message is that Christians must actively put away anger, wrath, and bitterness, recognizing that human anger cannot achieve God's righteousness. The speaker emphasizes that holding grudges is self-destructive, comparing it to drinking poison. Furthermore, he encourages listeners that God has the power to transform our weaknesses, like anger, into a passion for His kingdom.

Don't Neglect This Great Salvation - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Feb 21, 2018 · 1h 10m
The speaker urges the audience to continuously press toward spiritual maturity, using the analogy of moving from milk to solid food. He emphasizes that while struggling with sin is normal, remaining stuck in the same old sins indicates a lack of seriousness about spiritual growth. True discipleship requires moving beyond basic forgiveness and embracing the deeper truths of righteousness.

Trust God To Give You His Nature - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Feb 14, 2018 · 1h 10m
The speaker emphasizes that our current reality is a direct result of the choices we made over the past year, urging listeners to look forward with a commitment to change. He draws parallels from Abraham's faith in Romans 4, where Abraham believed God's promise of a multitude of descendants despite having no children. This illustrates that true faith requires believing in God's power to bring life and victory where human ability or current circumstances suggest impossibility, such as achieving victory over sin.

Jesus Should Be The Glory In Our Lives - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Feb 5, 2018 · 51m
The speaker uses the Old Testament journeys of Israel (Egypt to Canaan, and Babylon to Jerusalem) as metaphors for Christian life. Egypt to Canaan represents the personal journey from sin and defeat to victory, while Babylon to Jerusalem symbolizes moving from a corrupt, money-focused church to one that obeys God's Word. He emphasizes that the New Covenant requires both personal victory over sin and active, genuine fellowship, contrasting this with the Old Covenant's pattern of single-man ministry.

Breaking Of Bread - A Two Fold Testimony - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Feb 2, 2018 · 32m
The sermon focuses on the institution of the Lord's Supper, comparing it to the Passover and emphasizing that the breaking of bread is fundamentally an expression of an earnest desire for fellowship with Christ. The speaker warns that participating in this ritual without a genuine desire to confess and give up sin is dangerous, as it amounts to crucifying Christ again by rejecting the atonement for sin. True participation requires acknowledging one's unworthiness and focusing on sin's removal, not merely a desire for heavenly reward.

Jeremy Utley - The Pigsty, The Church, and The Bridal Chamber
Jeremy Utley · Jan 30, 2018 · 15m
The speaker outlines three areas—the pigsty, the church, and the bridal chamber—that can prevent a person from experiencing God's love. He argues that true fatherhood is experienced only when one willfully separates from sin (the pigsty), that religious activity cannot replace constant righteousness (the church), and that even when seemingly close to God, one must be ready to move out of complacency (the bridal chamber).

Jeremy Utley - Defeating the next giant
Jeremy Utley · Jan 15, 2018 · 19m
The central message is that manifesting the life of Christ requires a constant, willful commitment to taking up one's cross daily, which means being continually delivered over to death for Jesus' sake. The speaker draws a parallel between the Israelites conquering the Promised Land and believers overcoming sin and worldly desires. He advises that one's attitude toward the very next 'giant' in life is the best indicator of one's overall readiness to conquer all remaining struggles.

The central message is the call to live lives that are a pure reflection of Jesus Christ, both individually and corporately. The speaker emphasizes that holiness requires personal purity, drawing lessons from the faithfulness of God despite human unfaithfulness, and the example of Daniel's commitment to God's standards despite cultural pressure. Ultimately, the goal is to purify oneself from sin and live in a way that honors God's holiness.

Bobby McDonald - Taking Sin Lightly
Bobby McDonald · Dec 27, 2017 · 22m
The speaker warns against treating sin lightly, citing Jude 1:4 regarding those who misuse God's grace as a license to sin. He argues that even though Jesus paid the ultimate price for sin, every sin still has a cost, and minimizing sin dishonors the sacrifice made on the cross. Furthermore, he cautions against the mindset that grace permits continued sin, referencing Romans 6 to show that choosing to sin after receiving grace results in death, while obedience leads to sanctification and eternal life.

The Power Of Praise And Thanks - Newton
Newton · Dec 20, 2017 · 57m
The Book of Psalms is a collection of songs and hymns designed to teach believers to praise and be thankful to God in all circumstances. The speaker emphasizes that a vibrant relationship with the Lord, found through meditating on Scripture and heartfelt prayer, is the most wonderful thing. Ultimately, true joy and contentment are found in the Lord, leading to victory over sin and discouragement through continuous praise.

Jeremy Utley - Don't Waste A Temptation
Jeremy Utley · Nov 13, 2017 · 16m
The speaker advises listeners never to waste a temptation, viewing it as a divine opportunity. Drawing from Hebrews 4, he emphasizes that when tempted, the first action must be to pray and draw near to the throne of grace. Furthermore, he uses James 1 to distinguish between being tempted and actually sinning, suggesting that recognizing temptation is a reminder of the persistent 'flesh' within us, which should prompt a renewed hatred for wickedness.

Bobby McDonald - The Eyes Of The Lord Are In Every Place
Bobby McDonald · Nov 4, 2017 · 9m
The sermon warns that Satan's primary tactic is to convince believers that God does not love them, comparing this to a persistent gossip trying to tear apart a marriage. The speaker emphasizes that God is watching us in every temptation, as stated in Proverbs 15:3. Therefore, believers must live every moment as if Christ is present, choosing to deny themselves and resist temptation to bring joy to God.

Bobby McDonald - The Agony of Jesus
Bobby McDonald · Oct 24, 2017 · 12m
The central message is that our desire to love God stems from recognizing His prior love, exemplified by Jesus's ultimate sacrifice. The speaker emphasizes meditating on the agony Jesus endured in Gethsemane, realizing that this profound suffering fueled His love. Ultimately, this deep appreciation for Christ's sacrifice should motivate believers to overcome sin and live in constant praise rather than complaint.

Bobby McDonald - Sin Is Not An Option
Bobby McDonald · Oct 14, 2017 · 12m
The central message is that Christians must adopt a radical attitude of brokenness toward sin, treating it as an option that is no longer available. Drawing from Job's continual sacrifices and Paul's teaching, the speaker emphasizes that one must actively reckon themselves dead to sin, making it impossible to choose it. This commitment requires relying on the Holy Spirit's power to overcome temptation.

The speaker addresses the pervasive nature of modern addictions and temptations, urging the audience to identify any 'besetting sin' or area where they lack control. He emphasizes that true freedom comes from recognizing dependence on Christ, rather than on worldly comforts or habits. The central call is to actively deny oneself and take up the cross, focusing on loving God and loving one's neighbor.
