Through The Bible - Tamil - 54 (Ephesians - 1) by Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Apr 6, 2013 · 49m
The sermon emphasizes that the core theme of Ephesians is understanding what it means to be 'in Christ' and the blessings that grace provides. Paul structured the book to first detail what God has done for us (Chapters 1-3), which serves as the foundation, before discussing our response (Chapters 4-6). The speaker stresses that true Christianity is based on recognizing these spiritual blessings, such as being chosen before the foundation of the world and receiving forgiveness through Christ's blood.

Through The Bible - Tamil - 56 (Philippians - 1) by Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Apr 6, 2013 · 50m
The sermon discusses Paul's letter to the Philippians, noting that the early church had distinct ministries for spiritual leadership (elders) and material care (deacons). The central theme, drawn from Philippians 2:5, is that true joy comes not from earthly circumstances, wealth, or comfort, but from willingly doing the will of God, even when it is painful. This attitude of joyful obedience is the hallmark of a true disciple.

Through The Bible - Tamil - 58 (Colossians) by Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Apr 6, 2013 · 51m
The sermon emphasizes that Colossians is complementary to Ephesians, stressing the truth that Christ is in us. A major theme is understanding God's viewpoint, which diminishes the perceived importance of earthly things like money or status. By adopting this spiritual perspective, believers can walk in a manner pleasing to the Lord and treat all people, regardless of wealth or status, with equal regard.

Zac Poonen · Apr 6, 2013 · 51m
The sermon emphasizes that the core truth to preach in the church is the 'truth which is according to godliness,' rather than focusing on specific practices like tongues, healing, or prosperity.

The speaker warns against modern trends that erode these biblical standards for leadership.

Through The Bible - Tamil - 63 (Hebrews - 1) by Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Apr 6, 2013 · 51m
The speaker argues that Hebrews is a crucial book explaining the new covenant and the superiority of Jesus over the old covenant system. He emphasizes that the key to spiritual strength is looking unto Jesus and pressing on to perfection. Furthermore, the degree of anointing a believer receives is directly proportional to how much they love righteousness and hate iniquity.

Zac Poonen · Apr 6, 2013 · 50m
The sermon discusses Hebrews 4, focusing on Jesus Christ as our great high priest who passed through the heavens. Key themes include Jesus' ability to sympathize with our weaknesses because he was tempted like us, yet without sin. The speaker emphasizes drawing near to the throne of grace to receive both mercy for past sins and grace for future temptations, noting that Jesus prayed throughout his earthly life to be saved from spiritual death. Finally, the message highlights Christ's humility in accepting the priesthood according to Melchizedek's order.

Through The Bible - Tamil - 65 (Hebrews - 3) by Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Apr 6, 2013 · 50m
The sermon contrasts the old and new covenants, emphasizing that Christ's blood provides cleansing for the conscience from dead works, which are actions done out of compulsion or to earn favor. It stresses that true devotion involves living by the Spirit, not by mere ritual or obligation. Furthermore, the speaker warns against judging others before the Lord's return and urges believers to live in a way that honors the sacrifice of Christ by actively following Him.

Zac Poonen · Apr 6, 2013 · 51m
The sermon discusses the Epistle of James, noting that it is likely one of the earliest books in the New Testament. The central theme is that genuine faith must produce corresponding works, citing James's warning that 'faith without works is like a body without breath.' The speaker emphasizes that faith is not merely intellectual assent but a living reality that manifests through love, self-control, and compassion, drawing parallels to the necessity of passing examinations in life.

Through The Bible - Tamil - 69 (2 & 3 John, Jude) by Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Apr 6, 2013 · 50m
The sermon focuses on John's second letter, warning believers about false teachers who promote earthly riches or physical healing over spiritual truth. A key theme is that Jesus Christ, having come in the flesh, serves as the ultimate standard or 'spiritual dictionary' for understanding Christian living in all areas. Believers must adhere strictly to what Scripture reveals and avoid speculative theological discussions or accepting teachings that deviate from Christ's life and principles.

Zac Poonen · Apr 6, 2013 · 50m
The speaker discusses the Book of Revelation, emphasizing that it is primarily a revelation of Jesus Christ and His kingdom, not just a prediction of the future.

The message highlights the danger of losing one's first love in the church, using the example of Ephesus, and notes that the Lord's power is always to lift up, not push down.

Why God Delays Victory - Zac Poonen - March 13, 2012
Zac Poonen · Mar 15, 2013 · 53m
The speaker contrasts the Old Covenant, which functioned as a 'Ministry of condemnation' through strict laws, with the New Covenant, which is a 'Ministry of righteousness.' While the law's purpose was to show humanity its need for a Savior, attempting to live by its standards leads to constant condemnation. The New Covenant, established by God, promises internal transformation—writing God's law on the heart—leading to liberation rather than condemnation.

The Secret of Godliness - Zac Poonen - March 2, 2013
Zac Poonen · Mar 14, 2013 · 1h 1m
The central message is that building the church requires understanding two key truths about Christ: His eternal deity and His full humanity. The speaker argues that merely studying scripture is insufficient; one needs revelation from the Holy Spirit to see Christ clearly. True church building, which is the pillar and support of the truth, depends on recognizing that Christ lived fully in the flesh while remaining pure in spirit, which is the great mystery of godliness.

Humility and Trembling at God's Word - Zac Poonen - March 2, 2013
Zac Poonen · Mar 13, 2013 · 58m
The central message emphasizes that building God's house—which encompasses one's personal life, family, and the church—requires profound humility and a contrite spirit. Drawing from Isaiah 66, the speaker argues that God looks upon those who are humble and tremble at His word. True humility involves recognizing others as more important than oneself, mirroring the attitude of Christ, and maintaining a perpetual awareness of one's own spiritual need, like a beggar waiting at a gate.

Satan Was Defeated on the Cross - Zac Poonen - March 2, 2013
Zac Poonen · Mar 13, 2013 · 1h 3m
The sermon emphasizes that overcoming Satan requires knowing and speaking the Word of God accurately, as Jesus did when quoting scripture to resist temptation. The speaker warns that Satan and false teachers often attempt to mislead people by quoting scripture out of context, adding to, or subtracting from what the Bible actually says. True spiritual strength comes from allowing the Word of God to abide within us, which is the ultimate defense against deception.

Zac Poonen · Mar 13, 2013 · 59m
The speaker contrasts the pursuit of mere knowledge (the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil) with the pursuit of true life found in God (the Tree of Life). He emphasizes that true Christian life requires a radical surrender, symbolized by the flaming sword, moving beyond legalistic righteousness. The primary purpose of the local church is to reveal God not as a strict judge, but as a loving Father, mirroring the revelation Jesus provided.

5.Wisdom Lights Up Our Face by Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Dec 31, 2012 · 57m
The sermon emphasizes that true wisdom, which begins with the fear of the Lord, will naturally illuminate a person's face and personality. This inner wisdom, cultivated through accepting divine correction, will manifest outwardly in one's eyes, demeanor, and speech. The speaker warns that a person's inner life—filled with gossip, curiosity, or 'garbage'—will inevitably reveal itself, much like a bad odor, even if concealed from others.
