The speaker encourages the audience not to be ashamed of the Gospel, drawing from 2 Timothy 1:6-7. He emphasizes that God has given believers a spirit of power, love, and self-discipline, not a spirit of timidity. The message stresses the need to rekindle the gift of God, which is connected to receiving the Holy Spirit, and points out that while the Holy Spirit provides the power to overcome sin, the initial step is obedience, such as being baptized in water after being born again.

The speaker warns against modern-day deception, drawing parallels between historical instances of false teaching and current exploitation.

He discusses the history of the church, noting that while large denominations have histories of scandal, a faithful remnant has always existed.

24th Sep 2017 - There Are Only Three Days On My Calender (Sandeep Poonen)

Sandeep Poonen · Sep 24, 2017 · 1h 53m

The speaker discusses the struggle with discouragement in the Christian life, noting that even small sins can lead to prolonged periods of discouragement and spiritual stagnation. He emphasizes that while God promises to keep believers from falling, the practical lesson is learning how to get up quickly after falling, which is a vital lesson for all believers. The message suggests that living a life of constant rejoicing and freedom from discouragement is possible.

Jeremy Utley - The Secret of Overcoming Evil

Jeremy Utley · Sep 18, 2017 · 31m

The central message is that overcoming evil with good is impossible through personal effort alone; it requires God's power and love. True ability to overcome sin comes only after accepting God's unconditional love, as exemplified by the 'I do not condemn you' promise. Practically, growing in the knowledge of God's love requires two things: seeing how much He loves us and how much He has forgiven us, which is best cultivated by prioritizing a deep, childlike desire to simply be in His presence.

Jesus: Transfigured or Revealed? - Santosh Poonen - September 10, 2017

Santosh Poonen · Sep 11, 2017 · 38m

The speaker discusses the meaning of the Sabbath rest, drawing from Hebrews 4, clarifying that it is not limited to a specific day but is a daily state of rest from self-effort. He emphasizes that salvation is received by resting from works, acknowledging total sinfulness (Romans 3:23), but this rest does not negate the need for sanctification, which requires yielding to Christ's conformity. Finally, he urges listeners to live in constant preparedness for Christ's return by maintaining a clear conscience before God and others.

Santosh Poonen · Aug 29, 2017 · 46m

The sermon emphasizes that understanding grace frees believers from the slavery of sin, drawing parallels between this freedom and the divine purpose woven into every aspect of life. The speaker encourages the audience to view every day, no matter how mundane, as purposeful because God has already recorded it in His book. Furthermore, he draws lessons from Jesus' interactions with the Pharisees, noting that Jesus remained un-intimidated despite their earthly power.

Zac Poonen - The Church - A Light in the Darkness

Zac Poonen · Aug 22, 2017 · 1h 19m

The central message is that Christian life is a marathon requiring constant discipline to finish the race and become partakers of Christ. The speaker emphasizes that believers must guard against falling away due to the deceitfulness of sin, such as hypocrisy, pride, and selfishness. Therefore, active fellowship within a church is crucial for mutual encouragement and exposing hidden sins before they cause a spiritual collapse.

Questions & Answers for Young Adults - Santosh Poonen - July 31, 2017

Santosh Poonen · Aug 21, 2017 · 32m

The speaker emphasizes that the local church should foster an informal, welcoming atmosphere, mirroring Jesus' ministry rather than rigid religious structures. A core message is the identity of believers as ambassadors for Christ, meaning our citizenship and true home are in heaven. This ambassadorship is rooted in Christ taking our sin upon Himself, enabling us to confess our own sins and be reconciled to God.

The Compromise of Korah - Santosh Poonen - August 5, 2017

Santosh Poonen · Aug 20, 2017 · 59m

The central message emphasizes that true Christian life involves being fully integrated into the body of Christ, rather than maintaining an independent connection to Christ alone. The speaker warns against the deception of thinking one can be special in heaven by resembling Jesus, stressing that the body's unity is what reflects Christ. Furthermore, he discusses that spiritual growth requires embracing brokenness, contrasting this with the sin of compromise, exemplified by Korah's rebellion.

Santosh Poonen · Aug 20, 2017 · 52m

The speaker warns that Christians today risk missing the true presence of Jesus, much like the Pharisees in Jesus' time. He draws from 2 Corinthians 11, cautioning against accepting a 'different Jesus' or spirit, emphasizing that the true Christ is the only focus. The message stresses that even when Jesus speaks with necessary firmness against sin, it stems from love and a desire to set people free.

13.How Satan Became Satan - Zac Poonen

Zac Poonen · Aug 18, 2017 · 24m

The speaker explains the origin of evil by tracing the fall of a high-ranking angel, often associated with Lucifer. This angel, gifted with immense wisdom and beauty, became proud of his own status and abilities, leading him to believe he was equal to God. This overreaching pride caused him to disobey God's boundaries, resulting in his fall and transformation into the devil.

23.Satan Has Been Defeated - Zac Poonen

Zac Poonen · Aug 17, 2017 · 25m

The speaker explains that Christ accomplished two major things on the cross: first, He paid the full penalty for humanity's sin, canceling the debt owed to God. Second, He defeated Satan's power by disarming the rulers and principalities that had held man captive. The speaker emphasizes that while Satan is not destroyed, his power is broken for anyone who accepts Christ as Lord.

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.

14.Salvation From Sin - Zac Poonen

Zac Poonen · Aug 7, 2017 · 26m

The central message is that Jesus' primary work was to save humanity from the root problem of sin, not merely to address its symptoms like sickness or financial difficulty. The speaker emphasizes that true salvation involves deliverance from the penalty of sin (past), the power of sin (present), and ultimately, the presence of sin (future). He argues that focusing only on the symptoms distracts from the core gospel message found in Jesus' name meaning: 'one who saves people from their sins.'

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.
