Zac Poonen - Living by Faith and Honoring God
Zac Poonen · Jul 14, 2025 · 8m
Zac Poonen teaches that living by faith means absolute dependence on God rather than self-reliance, illustrated through the symbolic contrast of the tree of life (dependence on God) and the tree of knowledge of good and evil (dependence on self). He emphasizes that honoring God through faith—praying without doubt and trusting Him completely in all situations—ensures God's honor in return, as promised in 1 Samuel 2:30, and that this principle is foundational to experiencing answered prayers and spiritual growth.

Wenhai Pan - Pray and Never Give Up
Wenhai Pan · Jul 14, 2025 · 24m
Wenhai Pan encourages Christians to maintain a persistent prayer life without giving up, emphasizing that effective prayer requires a right attitude toward God. He teaches that God listens to prayers only when we live with a clear conscience and obey His commands, using Proverbs 28:9 and 15:8 to show that disobedience makes prayer an abomination while obedience makes it a delight to God. For husbands specifically, he stresses that living thoughtfully with their wives—both meeting physical and emotional needs with a servant's heart—is essential for prayers to be heard and not hindered.

Drawing from Matthew 21 (Jesus' triumphal entry), Psalms 73, and Exodus 13, he explains that God values those who recognize their foolishness and ignorance, depend entirely on Him, and carry the cross daily—just as young people and all believers are called to be humble instruments in God's hands rather than relying on their own abilities or confidence.

Zac Poonen - Learning from Jesus Riding on a Donkey
Zac Poonen · Jul 7, 2025 · 15m

Through this image and examples like the Apostle Paul and Joni Eareckson Tada, Zac Poonen teaches that God deliberately uses the weak, despised, and overlooked to accomplish His purposes, and believers should value others not by worldly metrics but by recognizing Christ's presence in them.
