July 8 | Daily Devotion | A Life Without Any Regrets | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jul 7, 2024 · 10m
The speaker emphasizes that true understanding of the New Covenant means being more concerned with avoiding and overcoming sin than merely escaping hell or going to heaven. He argues that the greatest gift of the New Covenant is the ability to partake of God's divine nature, which allows for a victory over sin that becomes effortless, like an expert swimmer. Failing to grasp this covenant leads to eternal regret.

Zac Poonen · Jul 5, 2024 · 10m
The speaker uses the story of Mary and Martha (Luke 10:39-42) to contrast the busyness of serving with the importance of simply listening to God's word. He advises listeners that if they have complaints about others, they should take them directly to the Lord rather than complaining to people. Ultimately, the message emphasizes that choosing to sit at the Lord's feet to hear His word represents understanding what is truly most important for a changed life.

6.Money, Music And Psychology - Zac Poonen | The Missing Messages In Today's Christianity
Zac Poonen · Jul 4, 2024 · 57m
The speaker argues that the primary message missing in modern Christianity is the emphasis on holiness, which should govern every aspect of life, mirroring the way the Law governed Israel. He warns that the Holy Spirit's ministry is often misunderstood, being reduced only to worship or 'noise,' when its true purpose is sanctification. Furthermore, he cautions that money has dangerously replaced the power and focus of the Holy Spirit in contemporary church life.

July 4 | Daily Devotion | God Is Opposed To The Proud But Gives Grace To The Humble | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jul 3, 2024 · 10m
The sermon warns that God opposes the proud but grants grace to the humble, urging listeners to cast their anxieties on Him. The speaker emphasizes that the devil devours people through pride, not persecution, and that true blessing comes from victory over sin, not financial prosperity. Believers must remain sober and alert, remembering that all of history, including the Old Testament, serves as a warning against the temptation to think they know better than God.

July 3 | Daily Devotion | Humble Yourself Under The Mighty Hand Of God | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jul 2, 2024 · 10m
The central message is that God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble. The speaker emphasizes that humility is the key differentiator, citing the example of the two thieves on the cross. True exaltation comes not from worldly success or spiritual achievement, but from being exalted over sin, which requires a continuous commitment to humility before God's mighty hand.

July 2 | Daily Devotion | Encourage One Another Daily | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jul 1, 2024 · 8m
The message emphasizes the vital Christian habit of encouraging one another daily, drawing from the title that describes God as the Giver of Perseverance and Encouragement. Encouragement is presented not just as words of thanks, but as a necessary spiritual practice for marriage, parenting, and community life. The speaker urges listeners to develop this habit, noting that even in difficult circumstances, like Joseph in prison, encouragement can open doors to God's greater purposes.

July 1 | Daily Devotion | Let Us Show Gratitude | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jun 30, 2024 · 10m
The central message emphasizes that gratitude must be a constant, heartfelt expression in all aspects of life, moving beyond mere ritual. The speaker warns against treating one's relationship with God as a business transaction, contrasting this with the grace found in the New Covenant. True gratitude, exemplified by the Cross of Christ, should motivate every action and prevent one from living under the curse of the Old Covenant.

June 30 | Daily Devotion | Seek The Kingdom Of God First - What Does It Mean? | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jun 29, 2024 · 10m
The central message is that seeking the Kingdom of God first means pursuing righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit, rather than focusing solely on external acts like evangelism or material success. True peace encompasses peace with God (freedom from condemnation), peace in one's heart (freedom from anxiety), and peace with people (forgiveness and lack of bitterness). This state is achieved through faith in Christ's righteousness, which brings a joy that endures through trials.

June 29 | Daily Devotion | God Honours Those Who Honour Him | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jun 28, 2024 · 10m
The central message is that God promises to honor those who honor Him, drawing from 1 Samuel 2:30. The speaker emphasizes that honoring God is demonstrated through faithfulness in small, daily matters, such as paying taxes honestly and being accountable in all dealings. Ultimately, true honor comes from dedicating one's entire life—body, mind, and personality—to God, especially by teaching the next generation to uphold truth even when it causes suffering.

June 28 | Daily Devotion | Honour God In Your Family Life | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jun 27, 2024 · 9m
The central message is that honoring God must permeate every aspect of family life, as failure to do so can lead children astray. The speaker draws parallels between the original sin (rebellion against authority, committed by Lucifer) and modern failures in parenting, emphasizing that parents must be strict in teaching submission to authority. He stresses that honoring parents is a commandment with a promise attached, and parents must actively teach their children to obey and never lie.

Zac Poonen · Jun 27, 2024 · 30m
The speaker emphasizes that enduring love for Jesus requires a complete devotion that surpasses all worldly attractions, particularly money. Drawing from the analogy of a wife's loyalty, he argues that a true Christian cannot serve two masters—God and money—as this constitutes spiritual adultery. He concludes by asserting that the church's focus must remain on seeking the Kingdom of God first, mirroring Jesus' life which was never marked by seeking financial support.

Zac Poonen · Jun 26, 2024 · 10m
The sermon uses the examples of Eli and Samuel to warn against parents who favor their children over correcting them when they sin. The central message is that honoring God requires prioritizing Him above all relationships, including family. The speaker emphasizes that true discipleship means loving Christ more than any human relationship, and neglecting to correct children can have eternal consequences.

June 26 | Daily Devotion | God Leads Us From Strength To Strength | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jun 25, 2024 · 13m
God uses trials and afflictions—like pruning a branch—to bring forth greater fruit in our lives. The speaker illustrates this using the life of Joseph, who endured betrayal, slavery, and false imprisonment, all of which ultimately prepared him to save his family and become a blessing. This principle shows that God works all things, even human evil, together for good.

June 25 | Daily Devotion | Strengthen Others Through Strength That God Supplies You | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jun 24, 2024 · 9m
God uses trials and affliction as a divine 'school' to build believers, teaching them to depend on the Holy Spirit rather than mere knowledge. The strength gained through these trials is not for personal comfort but so that the believer can effectively strengthen and teach others who are also going through hardship. Ultimately, God's kingdom requires believers to be broken of self-confidence, recognizing that all true fruitfulness comes from remaining connected to Christ.

Zac Poonen - Be Like a Baby in Humility
Zac Poonen · Jun 24, 2024 · 10m
Jesus taught that true greatness in God's kingdom comes through becoming like a child—humble, uncompetitive, and dependent on God. Drawing from Matthew 18 and reflecting on the characteristics of babies, Zac Poonen exhorts believers to abandon pride and comparison, embrace helplessness, forgive easily, and continually cry out to God for grace just as a baby cries for milk. This pursuit of childlike humility is a lifelong marathon toward becoming free from pride, shame, and self-reliance.

June 24 | Daily Devotion | God Humbles You Through Trials To Lead You To Abundance | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jun 23, 2024 · 9m
God's ultimate goal is to keep believers humble, as pride is what God opposes. The speaker emphasizes that trials, like being put through fire or cold water, are God's method of refining us, much like refining silver. By enduring these hardships, God ultimately leads us to a place of abundance, which is likened to the overflowing cup described in Psalm 23.

June 23 | Daily Devotion | Beware Of The Leaven Of Unbelief | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jun 22, 2024 · 10m
The sermon warns against the 'leaven of unbelief,' drawing parallels to the Sadducees who doubted the resurrection. The central message is that unbelief manifests when believers limit God's power to only what is doctrinally sound, failing to trust Him with current anxieties or problems. True faith means recognizing God's almighty power, even when facing seemingly insurmountable issues, and maintaining trust in His perfect love even after personal failures.

June 22 | Daily Devotion | Hate Sin And Believe God To Give You Victory | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jun 21, 2024 · 11m
The central message encourages believers to honestly hate sin, drawing from Hebrews 1:9 and Romans 7. The speaker explains that while a born-again person struggles with sin's bondage (as described in Romans 7), the key is to acknowledge this internal conflict. True progress involves recognizing that while the flesh still struggles, the mind is increasingly serving God's law, leading to a life of increasing self-awareness and mercy toward others.

June 21 | Daily Devotion | Casting Away The Confidence In Our Flesh | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jun 20, 2024 · 9m
God uses experiences like constant defeat to strip away self-confidence, which is necessary for true transformation. The speaker contrasts self-reliance, exemplified by Abraham's initial attempts, with God's timing, which requires us to reach a point of impossibility. True spiritual maturity involves a 'casting away of confidence in our flesh,' meaning we must stop feeling proud of our small victories or looking down on the failures of others.

June 20 | Daily Devotion |The Lord Is Interested In A Man Whom He Can Point Out To Satan |Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jun 19, 2024 · 10m
The speaker argues that the Bible's first book, Job, reveals God's primary interest is in men of character whom He can point out to Satan. He emphasizes that true Christian life is demonstrated not by theological arguments or outward piety, but by genuine devotion, selfless love, and integrity in private life—whether in study, family, or community. The ultimate goal is to live a life so pleasing to God that the devil has no accusation against it.

Zac Poonen · Jun 18, 2024 · 10m
The message warns believers against being spiritually complacent, comparing it to being drunk with worldliness, dissipation, and the cares of life. The core message is to remain spiritually alert at all times, treating it like a constant background check on one's life. True security comes from maintaining a life free from sin, as this is the mark of God's seal, which is known to the Lord.
