Zac Poonen · Apr 16, 2025 · 10m
The message uses Abraham's story in Romans 4 to illustrate that true faith involves believing God's promises even when all evidence suggests impossibility. Just as Abraham was promised a multitude of children despite his and Sarah's barrenness, believers must trust God's word for victory over sin and life, even when feeling defeated. The key is to look to God's promise rather than one's own perceived weakness or failure.

Zac Poonen · Apr 8, 2025 · 1h 3m
The sermon emphasizes that true Christian life must be rooted first and foremost in love for Jesus Christ, as highlighted in 1 Corinthians 13. The speaker contrasts the superficiality of worldly love with the profound, sacrificial love exemplified by Jesus, who acted out of obedience to the Father's command.

Zac Poonen · Apr 3, 2025 · 11m

Zac Poonen · Mar 26, 2025 · 11m
The central message is that God's provision and blessings are directly proportional to the degree of surrender and giving one offers Him. The speaker emphasizes that just as Jesus gave everything to the Father, believers must also give their entire selves—their assets, plans, and desires—to God. He warns against holding back, using the analogy of the burnt offering and citing 2 Corinthians 9:6-8 to show that a generous giving leads to abundant grace and sufficiency.

Zac Poonen · Mar 22, 2025 · 12m
The message emphasizes that Christians must draw a clear, unwavering line between their values and the passing world, comparing this to Noah building the Ark.

Zac Poonen · Mar 16, 2025 · 11m
The central message is that the greatest danger of deception comes when a believer loses their fervent devotion to Jesus Christ. When devotion shifts to worldly things like money, possessions, or even ministry itself, one becomes susceptible to false teachings.

Zac Poonen · Mar 7, 2025 · 10m
The message uses the analogy of a fiancée waiting for her groom to illustrate the need for faithfulness to Christ. The central message emphasizes that true Christian living requires a passionate desire to overcome known sins—such as anger, lust, and greed—by immediately confessing every slip-up to God.

Zac Poonen · Mar 5, 2025 · 9m
The central message is that when facing conflict, the believer should remain silent and trust in God's fight on their behalf. The speaker draws from Psalm 46:10, advising to 'be still and know that I am God,' and uses the example of King Jehoshaphat to illustrate that fear dissipates when one seeks the Lord. Ultimately, the message emphasizes that true spiritual strength comes from refusing to fight with human beings, as this focus distracts from the spiritual warfare against evil principalities.
