Men Who are Rooted in the Love of God - Zac Poonen - April 25, 2020
Zac Poonen · Apr 27, 2020 · 59m
The sermon emphasizes that true manhood requires being rooted in God's love, starting at home. The speaker warns against false teachings that permit sin and stresses that men must stand up for the truth, even when it causes suffering. Key actions include being filled with the Holy Spirit, loving one's wife as Christ loved the church, and enduring in love, which is necessary to combat the growing coldness of love for Christ and others.

Zac Poonen · Apr 27, 2020 · 52m
The sermon emphasizes that true manhood, as exemplified by Christ, is not shown through physical strength but by overcoming sin and Satan.

Death To Self And The Resurrected Life - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Apr 18, 2020 · 50m
The sermon explains that while God originally intended for humanity to rule over creation, sin corrupted this authority, leading to the curse on the ground and humanity's death. Christ's death on the cross removed this curse, restoring humanity's spirit to a state free from sin. The speaker emphasizes that living in the light of God's protection is crucial, as allowing darkness—even through unforgiveness or unrighteous actions—can bring spiritual problems, and Jesus' sacrifice opened access to God's presence, symbolized by the tearing of the temple veil.

Set Your Mind On Things Above | स्वर्गीय वस्तुओं पर अपना मन लगाओ | Zac Poonen Illustrations | Hindi
Zac Poonen · Apr 18, 2020 · 11m
The central message is that a person's mindset determines where their focus lies—whether on earthly, material things or on heavenly matters. The speaker uses examples from scripture, such as the Pharisees and Judas, to warn against letting the love of money or worldly possessions become an idol. He concludes by comparing the mind to a rubber band, emphasizing that after all worldly tasks are done, the mind should naturally return to contemplating God's word and eternal things.

Olu Talabi · Apr 8, 2020 · 12m
The sermon emphasizes that one cannot be devoted to both the Lord Jesus and the things of this world, drawing parallels to Lot's wife who was spiritually attached to the world even after escaping destruction. The speaker stresses that God examines the heart, and believers must maintain singular devotion to Christ. Additionally, the message highlights the necessity of forgiveness, using Joseph's life to illustrate how God can help us overcome bitterness and affliction through grace.

What Shall We Give To God ? | நாம் தேவனுக்கு என்ன கொடுப்போம்? | Zac Poonen | Tamil
Zac Poonen · Apr 4, 2020 · 57m
The sermon uses the analogy of stars visible only in darkness to illustrate that one should not boast about their own spiritual works for God. Instead, the speaker emphasizes that believers should constantly focus on the immense sacrifice Jesus made for them, as this remembrance is what truly guides them in the light of Christ's presence. Comparing one's small efforts to Christ's sacrifice is the key to true humility and spiritual focus.

Knowing God - Our Father, Our Forerunner, And Our Helper - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Apr 1, 2020 · 53m
The speaker discusses the coming times, referencing Daniel 11:32, and emphasizes that the New Covenant promises deliverance from sin, not just forgiveness. He stresses that true Christian life means living moment-by-moment by the Word of God, like a branch constantly receiving sap. Furthermore, he urges believers to build their foundation not on their own efforts or good works, but solely on the righteousness provided by the blood of Jesus Christ.

Live This Year Fixing Your Eyes On Jesus - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Apr 1, 2020 · 31m
The speaker encourages a yearly spiritual checkup to ensure continuous progress in the Christian life. He draws parallels between the temptation in the Garden of Eden and modern temptations, warning against believing the devil's lies, such as that sin is not punished or that one can be like God. The central message is that true transformation and becoming like Christ must come through personal choice and direct connection with God, not through human mediators or false teachings.

Zac Poonen Illustrations - Blessed Are The Pure In Heart
Zac Poonen · Apr 1, 2020 · 1m 41s
The sermon emphasizes that a pure heart allows one to see God in every aspect of life, including difficult circumstances and people. A pure heart is distinct from a clean conscience; while a clean conscience means one has not sinned, a pure heart means that God is the sole focus and ambition of one's entire being. This total dedication to God is the essence of purity.

Zac Poonen Illustrations - Grace To The Humble
Zac Poonen · Apr 1, 2020 · 1m 47s
The speaker argues that grace is not unmerited favor, but rather something that must be merited through humility. He uses the analogy of water flowing to the lowest point to illustrate that the humbler one receives the most grace. Jesus is cited as an example of receiving tremendous grace because of His humility.

Zac Poonen Illustrations - Loving God More Than Everyone
Zac Poonen · Apr 1, 2020 · 1m 5s
The speaker uses the analogy of stars and the sun to illustrate the relative magnitude of love. He argues that while love for family and church members is important, it must be compared to the love of Jesus. Just as the sun's brightness makes the stars nearly invisible, the overwhelming light of Christ's love should eclipse all other affections.

Zac Poonen · Apr 1, 2020 · 2m 30s
Jesus warns that no servant can serve two masters, clarifying that the two masters are God and wealth, not God and Satan. The speaker emphasizes that attempting to serve both God and money is impossible because the servant will inevitably hate one while loving the other. He warns that those who live in this dual allegiance possess the spirit of a harlot.

Zac Poonen Illustrations - The Authority Of Jesus
Zac Poonen · Apr 1, 2020 · 41s
The true measure of spiritual life is not one's personal spirituality, but whether one utilizes the authority vested in the name of Jesus Christ. This authority is compared to a small policeman stopping ten massive trucks, illustrating that the source of power, not the size of the person, matters. Believers are encouraged to exercise this divine authority and no longer live in fear of the devil.

Cast All Your Burdens On Jesus | ನಿಮ್ಮ ಎಲ್ಲಾ ಭಾರವನ್ನು ಯೇಸುವಿನ ಮೇಲೆ ಹಾಕಿರಿ | Zac Poonen Illustrations
Zac Poonen · Mar 31, 2020 · 6m
The central message is that believers should not carry burdens that the Lord never gave them, as Jesus invites us to cast all our burdens upon Him. The speaker emphasizes that while the burden of sin is the most difficult, Jesus's sacrifice on the cross proves that all other burdens are lighter when placed at His feet. We must make it a habit to come to Jesus for rest.

Zac Poonen Illustrations - The Factory Worker Who Messed Up
Zac Poonen · Mar 31, 2020 · 1m 11s
The speaker uses the analogy of a factory worker who repeatedly messes up machines, culminating in a major mistake. Instead of being fired, the owner appoints him as a general manager with a much higher salary. This illustrates that God's grace, specifically being filled with the Holy Spirit, is given to people at their lowest point, not just to those who deserve it.

Zac Poonen Illustrations - Three Spiritual Marriages
Zac Poonen · Mar 31, 2020 · 6m
The sermon uses the metaphor of three 'marriages' to illustrate spiritual progress: first, being bound to the old self; second, being bound to the law, which demands impossible perfection; and finally, being married to Christ. While Christ's standards are also high, the key difference is that He works *with* us as co-workers, offering grace and partnership rather than simply demanding flawless adherence to rules.

Zac Poonen Illustrations - Valuing God More Than Everything
Zac Poonen · Mar 31, 2020 · 1m 57s
The speaker uses an illustration comparing the effort spent searching for a small coin versus a large sum of money to illustrate how people often treat God. He argues that many people treat God as if He is a small, easily forgotten item, but if God is made the most valuable thing in one's life, He will be found every time He is needed.

Zac Poonen · Mar 30, 2020 · 1h 3m

Cast All Your Burdens On Jesus | आपले सर्व ओझे येशूवर टाका | Zac Poonen Illustrations | Marathi
Zac Poonen · Mar 30, 2020 · 6m
The central message is that Christians should not carry burdens that the Lord never gave them, as many people mistakenly take on self-imposed weights. Jesus invites us to come to Him, promising rest because His yoke is easy and His burden is light. The speaker emphasizes that the ultimate burden Jesus took was the sin of humanity, and we should learn to rest in His grace rather than carrying our own perceived burdens.

The Jealousy of God - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Mar 30, 2020 · 40m
The central message is that God's jealousy is not about controlling our actions or service, but about demanding exclusive, total devotion of our spirit and heart. True discipleship means placing Christ above all other interests—including family, career, or even good works—as if one were a bride whose heart belongs only to her husband. This exclusive love is the fundamental aspect of the New Covenant.
