2.What Jesus Sets Us Free From - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Apr 22, 2012 · 1h 2m
The speaker contrasts two ways of relating to God: the 'old covenant' of a master-servant relationship, which is characterized by works and service, and the 'new covenant' of a husband-wife relationship, which is rooted in love. He argues that many Christians operate from a servant mindset, focusing on visible acts of service, which is insufficient. True spirituality, exemplified by Mary listening at Jesus' feet, requires prioritizing love and listening to God's word over constant activity or complaint.

THE TRUTH ABOUT PROPHECY: 03.Prophecy In The New Testament - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Mar 28, 2012 · 1h 0m
The speaker discusses prophecy, noting the shift in emphasis from the prophet in the Old Testament to the act of prophesying by all believers in the New Testament.

THE TRUTH ABOUT PROPHECY: 02.Prophecy In The Old Testament - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Mar 27, 2012 · 57m
The speaker discusses the nature of prophecy, contrasting the emphasis on the 'person' of the prophet in the Old Testament with the emphasis on 'prophesying' (the ministry) in the New Covenant. He emphasizes that true ministry requires the outpouring of the Holy Spirit, which enables all believers to prophesy. He concludes by noting that the first prophets, Enoch and Noah, both exemplified this by first walking with God before prophesying.

THE TRUTH ABOUT PROPHECY: 01.Introduction To Prophecy - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Mar 27, 2012 · 54m
The speaker addresses the confusion surrounding prophecy, noting two extremes: those who believe prophecy has ceased entirely and those who misuse the term. He emphasizes that understanding prophecy requires adhering strictly to the whole Bible and approaching scripture with a humble, 'babe-like' mind, free from tradition's prejudices. Ultimately, prophecy is defined as God communicating His undiluted word to man, a power demonstrated from creation to the outpouring of the Spirit on Pentecost.

Obeying God's Word Exactly - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Mar 18, 2012 · 1h 0m
The sermon emphasizes that when building the church, one must adhere strictly to the whole purpose of God, much like an artist coloring within a defined circle or assembling a puzzle. Paul exemplified this by proclaiming everything within God's purpose without omitting any part.

Zac Poonen · Feb 15, 2012 · 56m
The speaker emphasizes that true understanding of God's will, particularly regarding scripture, comes from a deep desire to do God's will, not just intellectual study.

Such A Great Salvation: 3.Salvation From Seeking Man's Honour - Zac Poonen (Telugu)
Zac Poonen · Nov 4, 2011 · 1h 3m

The ultimate purpose of scripture is to guide believers to the life-giving presence of the Holy Spirit.

Zac Poonen · May 13, 2011 · 1h 1m
