Bobby McDonald - It's Beautiful!
Bobby McDonald · Dec 21, 2017 · 15m
The central message is that Christians should strive to be an exact reflection of Jesus by cultivating an attitude of profound excitement and gratitude for what God has done in their lives. This passion for God's promises and grace should not feel like a burden but rather a natural, joyful response, much like finding a great treasure. God is perfecting this work in us, leading us to a place where our greatest desire is to be satisfied only in Him.

The Foundation And Three Floors Of The Church - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Dec 18, 2017 · 1h 14m
The central message is that true Christian living requires adopting the inner attitude of Christ, rather than merely imitating his external actions. The speaker emphasizes that this transformation comes from the Holy Spirit revealing Christ's glory, not from human effort or adherence to rules. He stresses that this divine nature is a gift and a choice, contrasting it with our inherent, self-centered nature.

The speaker shares reflections on experiencing God's strengthening Word and renewed faith over the past week. Key themes include realizing God's love through John 1:14, trusting God's ability to do more than asked (Philippians 4:13), and embracing the concept of a deeper, covenantal love (

Jeremy Utley - Discerning Your True Spiritual Appetite
Jeremy Utley · Dec 4, 2017 · 16m
The speaker suggests that a person's spiritual appetite can be tested by examining their attraction to others, drawing parallels between this and the need to be drawn to Christ for the right reasons. He argues that being drawn to Jesus's purity and humility, rather than sensational signs or miracles, is the true measure of faith. Ultimately, the speaker encourages the audience to proactively choose to be attracted to godly people, recognizing that our affections reveal the true state of our hearts.

Bobby McDonald - Our Pearl Of Great Price
Bobby McDonald · Nov 21, 2017 · 10m
The central message is that Christians should view themselves as the richest people in the universe because of their salvation through Christ, comparing this to finding something of immense value like the pearl of great price. This realization shifts focus from earthly struggles or possessions to the supreme value of Christ, leading to a reduced expectation of others and a deeper delight in the Lord.

Bobby McDonald · Nov 10, 2017 · 19m
The central message is that true Christian transformation comes not from merely following rules or external actions, but from receiving a new spirit and heart from God. The speaker emphasizes that this internal renewal, which involves considering the needs and cares of others, is what allows us to truly reflect Jesus. He illustrates this with an account of needing help in a parking garage, where only one person showed genuine consideration and willingness to assist.

The speaker begins with worship and praise, focusing on glorifying Jesus Christ and acknowledging God's everlasting loving-kindness. The message transitions to a discussion about the rich young ruler, referencing Mark 10:17, who approached Jesus asking what he must do to inherit eternal life. The speaker notes the rarity of such a question coming from a wealthy person, contrasting it with the typical focus of the rich on accumulating more wealth.

The speaker encourages listeners to rekindle the gift of God within them, drawing from 2 Timothy 1:6. He emphasizes that believers should not be ashamed of the testimony of Christ, as God has given a spirit of power, love, and self-control, not timidity. The message stresses the urgency of making decisions for Christ now, as life is uncertain, and that assurance of salvation must be founded on God's Word, not merely on experience.

The sermon extensively interprets passages from Ezekiel 36 and Romans 6, focusing on the theme of God renewing the believer. The central message is that God removes the 'heart of stone'—representing sin and old ways of life—and replaces it with a new heart of flesh and a new spirit. This transformation is achieved through the work of the Holy Spirit and is a promise of restoration and life in God's land, which the speaker identifies as the church.

The central message is the necessity of daily mind renewal to align with and discover God's perfect will. The speaker uses the analogy of a sponge to illustrate that the mind absorbs whatever it is exposed to—worldly thoughts, money, or the Word of God. Therefore, believers must actively seek to fill their minds with God's truth through the Word, allowing the Holy Spirit to cleanse and renew them daily.

The speaker encourages the audience to process difficult life experiences and relationships by taking necessary actions, such as sending apologies or setting boundaries. A central theme is the profound need for the Holy Spirit, drawing heavily on scripture (Zechariah 12:10) to emphasize the heart broken over Christ's sacrifice. The message concludes by urging the congregation to focus on the love of God and the worthiness of Jesus, rather than expecting immediate, dramatic miracles.

The speaker encourages the audience to continually desire to be more like Jesus, drawing strength from the promises in Scripture. He emphasizes that true transformation—finding God's perfect will—requires the renewal of the mind, urging listeners not to be conformed to the image of the world.

The sermon draws heavily from Ezekiel 36, contrasting the 'heart of stone' with God's promise to give a 'new heart' and 'new spirit.' The speaker interprets this passage, alongside Romans 6, to teach that believers must crucify their old selves—the sinful nature—and be renewed in the Spirit. This transformation is necessary because God's work is not for the sake of Israel, but for the glory of His holy name.

The speaker emphasizes the critical difference between the Old Covenant and the New Covenant, citing Hebrews 8 to show that the former has been made obsolete by Christ's mediation. He warns against the hypocrisy of selectively adhering to Old Covenant laws, comparing it to trying to use abolished currency notes. The central message is that believers must live fully within the grace of the New Covenant, which is freely given.

The sermon outlines three foundational 'stories' for building the church, starting with the foundation: realizing God's perfect love for us, as exemplified by the Father's love for Jesus. The second story emphasizes maintaining a blameless conscience at one's current level of understanding, recognizing that others may not be at the same spiritual standard. The third story, drawn from Paul's defense, teaches that the true 'cult' is one that believes and serves God according to everything written in the Word.

The speaker emphasizes that in the New Covenant, the messenger is the message, drawing a parallel to 1 Timothy 3:16 which states the mystery of godliness is a person. He argues that while the death and resurrection of Jesus are vital, the life Jesus lived with the Father is equally crucial to grasp. The message must center on the person of Christ, not just doctrines or rules.

The sermon outlines three foundational levels for Christian life: the foundation is God's perfect love for us, as seen in John 17:23, which brings security and eliminates competition. The second level is maintaining a blameless conscience, meaning one must always progress in their understanding of right and wrong. The third level involves understanding that others, especially in marriage, may not be at the same spiritual standard, and judging them based on one's own level is unwise.

The speaker emphasizes that in the New Covenant, the messenger is the message, citing 1 Timothy 3:16 to support this. He warns against falling into the trap of focusing solely on rules or doctrines, noting that the human nature tends to default to such structures. The core message is that the life and person of Jesus Christ are the true message, not just the doctrines taught about him.

Jeremy Utley - The Secret of Overcoming Evil
Jeremy Utley · Sep 18, 2017 · 31m
The central message is that overcoming evil with good is impossible through personal effort alone; it requires God's power and love. True ability to overcome sin comes only after accepting God's unconditional love, as exemplified by the 'I do not condemn you' promise. Practically, growing in the knowledge of God's love requires two things: seeing how much He loves us and how much He has forgiven us, which is best cultivated by prioritizing a deep, childlike desire to simply be in His presence.

The sermon emphasizes that understanding grace frees believers from the slavery of sin, drawing parallels between this freedom and the divine purpose woven into every aspect of life. The speaker encourages the audience to view every day, no matter how mundane, as purposeful because God has already recorded it in His book. Furthermore, he draws lessons from Jesus' interactions with the Pharisees, noting that Jesus remained un-intimidated despite their earthly power.

The speaker emphasizes that the local church should foster an informal, welcoming atmosphere, mirroring Jesus' ministry rather than rigid religious structures. A core message is the identity of believers as ambassadors for Christ, meaning our citizenship and true home are in heaven. This ambassadorship is rooted in Christ taking our sin upon Himself, enabling us to confess our own sins and be reconciled to God.

The speaker warns that Christians today risk missing the true presence of Jesus, much like the Pharisees in Jesus' time. He draws from 2 Corinthians 11, cautioning against accepting a 'different Jesus' or spirit, emphasizing that the true Christ is the only focus. The message stresses that even when Jesus speaks with necessary firmness against sin, it stems from love and a desire to set people free.

27.The Right Way To Pray - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Aug 18, 2017 · 25m
The speaker emphasizes that true prayer is characterized by intimacy, like a child talking to a father, rather than being a formal, artificial performance for an audience. He draws from Jesus' teachings, warning against praying to impress people, which he equates to hypocrisy. Ultimately, prayer's primary purpose is to foster communication with God, which benefits the individual more than it does externally.
