Discipleship and Obeying Jesus' Commands — Zac Poonen — April 6, 2024
Zac Poonen · Apr 9, 2024 · 1h 5m
The central message is that building a church requires more than just preaching the gospel; it demands making disciples who are taught to obey every command of Jesus. The speaker contrasts a mere convert, who only wants to go to heaven, with a true disciple, who commits to following and doing what Christ commanded. He emphasizes that this commitment to obedience is the condition for Christ's promise to be with them.

Andrei Pavlov - Be governed by the Spirit of Christ
Andrei Pavlov · Apr 8, 2024 · 5m
Andrei Pavlov uses the metaphor of cruise control in a car to illustrate the progression from living without God's guidance (manual control), to living under the Old Covenant law (basic cruise control), to living under the New Covenant governed by the Spirit of Christ (adaptive cruise control). He emphasizes that our goal as Christians is to become exact reflections of Jesus through personal purity and corporate participation in a functioning local church, achievable only through trusting Jesus to guide our lives moment by moment.

April 8 | Daily Devotion | Be Like Jesus In Attitude, Humility And Taking Up The Cross | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Apr 7, 2024 · 9m
The central message is that the Christian life is defined by humility, exemplified by Jesus Christ. The speaker urges listeners to adopt the attitude found in Christ, referencing Philippians 2:5, and to learn from Jesus' example of gentleness and humility found in Matthew 11:29. True humility is internal and cannot be faked through reputation, and this focus on Christ is reinforced by fixing our eyes on Him, especially through the ultimate act of humility on the cross (Hebrews 12:2).

April 7 | Daily Devotion | God Had Provided Something Better For Us | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Apr 6, 2024 · 12m
The central message is that the greatest calling for Christians is not performing spectacular miracles or doing impressive works, but rather following Jesus' example. The speaker emphasizes that true Christian life involves continually depending on the Holy Spirit and modeling Christ's example in daily living, such as attitude toward sin, money, and family. He concludes by pointing to Hebrews 12:1-2, stating that running the race by looking unto Jesus is far superior to any historical miracle.

April 4 | Daily Devotion | The Humility of Jesus | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Apr 3, 2024 · 12m
The speaker emphasizes that true discipleship means emulating the humility of Jesus, which is best seen not in grand miracles but in simple acts like washing feet. He argues that the world sees God's greatness in creation, but a true disciple sees it in Christ's humility. Furthermore, he points to the genealogy of Jesus in Matthew, noting that its inclusion of women from morally questionable backgrounds (Tamar, Rahab, Ruth, Bathsheba) proves that Jesus came to call sinners to repentance, not just the righteous.

April 3 | Daily Devotion | Take Up Your Cross Daily | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Apr 2, 2024 · 15m
The central message is to follow the example of Jesus Christ by taking up the cross daily, which requires constant self-denial and humility. The speaker contrasts this daily walk with the failures of others, emphasizing that true discipleship means actively choosing to love, forgive, and submit even when provoked. Failing to take up the cross daily makes one an enemy of Christ.

Zac Poonen · Apr 1, 2024 · 15m
The central message is that true manhood, as exemplified by Christ, is not about physical strength but about living a life of profound humility and faithfulness. The speaker urges listeners to look to Jesus as the model for enduring the cross daily, which is presented as the better thing compared to the miracles of the Old Covenant. Disciples must be willing to endure reproach and go outside the comfort of compromising Christianity to follow Christ.

Jeremy Utley - Submitting to Human Authority in Reverence for the Lord
Jeremy Utley · Apr 1, 2024 · 25m
Jeremy Utley teaches about the danger of rejecting God's appointed authority, using the story of Korah's rebellion as a warning against pride and insubmission. He emphasizes that submission is a precious virtue in God's order—one that Jesus himself exemplifies eternally—and cautions the church against the subtle pride that questions divine authority, just as Korah questioned Moses' leadership.

Know This - That Satan is a Defeated Enemy — Zac Poonen — March 31, 2024
Zac Poonen · Apr 1, 2024 · 53m
The speaker teaches that the Gospel is more than just forgiveness for sins; it requires understanding that sin is coming short of the life of Jesus Christ. He emphasizes that believers must press forward daily in Christlikeness, rather than remaining in a perpetual state of spiritual infancy. Furthermore, he stresses that just as Christ canceled our debt to God, we must forgive others by choosing not to remember their sins, living instead by our will rather than our memory.

Zac Poonen · Mar 31, 2024 · 12m
The central message emphasizes learning to hear God's voice primarily through deep study of the Bible, rather than relying on dreams or fleeting messages. The speaker uses the example of Joseph to illustrate that God can use even the greatest evil—like betrayal and imprisonment—to bring about a greater good, mirroring the cross of Christ. Ultimately, true discipleship involves trusting God's overarching purpose even when facing personal suffering or the malice of others.

Planting the Seeds of the Kingdom of God (Message to Women) -- Annie Poonen -- March 20, 2024
Annie Poonen · Mar 28, 2024 · 55m
The message centers on the Parable of the Sower, emphasizing that Jesus Himself sows the seed of the Kingdom of God into our hearts. True reception of this seed requires humility, like that of a baby, and an open heart to receive the revelation that only the Lord can give. The speaker urges the audience to prioritize spending time meditating on God's Word daily, as this is the primary way to allow the seed of the Kingdom to grow and bear fruit.

March 28 | Daily Devotion | Presenting A Pure Offering And Breaking Free From Traditions |Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Mar 27, 2024 · 10m
The speaker emphasizes that God desires an offering that is pure, not merely ritualistic or cheap. He uses biblical examples, such as the blood on the door and the Red Sea crossing, to illustrate that true spiritual life requires a complete break from old ways, symbolized by obedience. The core message is that genuine spiritual growth comes from obedience to scripture, not from maintaining traditions or pleasing people, especially when it means confronting established norms.

Applying The Parable Of The Sower In Our Lives (Young Sisters' Meeting) - Annie Poonen
Annie Poonen · Mar 25, 2024 · 48m
The message uses the Parable of the Sower to explain how God's word is sown in our hearts, which are like different types of soil. The speaker emphasizes that while we can change from being poor soil to good soil, the ultimate fruit God desires is the fruit of the Spirit (love, joy, peace, etc.), not merely temporal success. He warns against letting worldly distractions, like those found in the 'Wayside,' distract our hearts from truly absorbing and applying God's word.

Bobby McDonald - Humbling Ourselves At Home
Bobby McDonald · Mar 25, 2024 · 19m
Bobby McDonald teaches that humbling ourselves primarily happens at home through dying to self in daily situations—putting others first, relinquishing control and expectations of people, and maintaining peace in our own hearts. The foundation is 1 Peter 5:6, which calls Christians to humble themselves under God's circumstances so they can experience His presence and live in close friendship with Him.

The sermon emphasizes that Christian worship must go beyond mere singing or emotion; it requires a genuine 'Heart of Worship.' The speaker encourages the congregation to commit to Jesus with their whole selves, recognizing that true worship is about acknowledging that everything—life, breath, and glory—belongs entirely to Him, especially when the music fades away.

March 22 | Daily Devotion | The Way To See Jesus | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Mar 21, 2024 · 11m
To see Jesus clearly, one must be willing to undergo a profound 'brokenness,' much like a grain of wheat that must fall into the ground to produce much fruit. This willingness requires prioritizing the desire to see Jesus over maintaining one's earthly attractiveness or reputation within the church. True fruitfulness comes not from being preserved, but from being broken open, echoing examples like Mary breaking the costly perfume jar.

March 20 | Daily Devotion | Jesus Gave Us A New Commandment | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Mar 19, 2024 · 12m
The central message is that the 'new commandment' to love one another, as exemplified by Jesus' love, requires a self-sacrificial commitment. This love demands that believers be willing to die to their own self-will, even when facing criticism or correction from others. Furthermore, the speaker notes that a sign of God's love in mature Christianity is not just encouragement, but also discipline and rebuke.

Sunil Poonen - Growing in the likeness of Christ through daily repentance
Sunil Poonen · Mar 18, 2024 · 26m
Sunil Poonen teaches that Christians must pursue the daily revelation of Jesus Christ in their lives through repentance, rather than advancing in worldly pursuits or creating new forms of legalism within the church. True spiritual growth means progressively moving from spiritual dawn toward noon through an ongoing attitude of repentance for both known sins and newly revealed areas of spiritual blindness, allowing God's kindness to continually transform us into the image of Christ.
