Zac Poonen · Aug 13, 2014 · 1h 8m
The speaker contrasts the fervent dedication of Paul in his pursuit of Christ with the lukewarm faith of many Christians, comparing it to people who will go to extreme lengths for a visa.

Zac Poonen · Aug 12, 2014 · 58m
The speaker reflects on a 33-year journey, emphasizing that the success and growth achieved were entirely God's work.

Faith In The Resurrection - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Aug 12, 2014 · 57m
The central message is that true Christian belief requires more than just intellectual assent; one must believe in the heart that Christ was raised from the dead, as stated in Romans 10. The speaker emphasizes developing the ability to discern truth through the 'eyes and years of the heart,' rather than relying solely on physical senses. This spiritual vision, rooted in the resurrection, is presented as the means to overcome the greatest human fear: the fear of death.

Hearing, Trusting and Worshipping - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Aug 12, 2014 · 57m
The sermon emphasizes that true Christian life requires actively 'hearing' or listening to God's word, which is superior to merely reading the Bible.

He urges listeners to prioritize sitting at Jesus' feet to hear the word over simply accumulating biblical knowledge.

The central message is that Christ must have preeminence in every area of life, drawing parallels from Colossians 1:18 and Matthew 13:44.

Zac Poonen - Being Balanced In The Christian Life
Zac Poonen · Jul 21, 2014 · 1h 15m
The central message is that the Christian life's purpose extends beyond mere forgiveness of sins; it is about gaining the 'glory of Christ.' This pursuit requires constantly pressing forward toward this goal, remembering that one must not become complacent by dwelling on past achievements. Furthermore, the speaker emphasizes that living this life is impossible without continuous dependence on and filling by the Holy Spirit, which requires faith—believing God is more eager to grant what He has promised than we are to receive it.

Bobby McDonald · Jul 21, 2014 · 5m
The central message emphasizes that our righteousness before God is not derived from our own efforts or the law, but entirely through faith in Christ. The speaker draws a parallel to the Prodigal Son, illustrating that true appreciation for God's grace comes when we recognize our own unworthiness. Therefore, we should take sin seriously to better appreciate that God sees Christ's righteousness in us.

Have You Claimed Your Full Birthright ? - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jun 21, 2014 · 44m
The central message is that believers have a birthright to reign in life through the abundance of God's grace, which requires a proper foundation built on repentance plus faith.

The sermon emphasizes that true spiritual richness comes from deeply studying scripture, not just reading it superficially. The speaker urges listeners to apply the same effort they use for education or business to studying God's Word, as this effort is the true test of whether God is valued above money.

Three Important Words - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · May 22, 2014 · 55m
The speaker discusses the rarity of hearing the word from the Lord today, attributing part of it to believers' laziness in studying scripture. He focuses on three misunderstood words—believe, worship, and church—using the first occurrences in scripture to define them. He details the meaning of 'believe' using Abraham's response of 'Amen' in Genesis 15, emphasizing that true faith requires not only belief but also patience to wait for God's promises to be fulfilled.

Enlarging Our Hearts - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · May 22, 2014 · 55m
The central message is that believers must actively work to keep their hearts enlarged, contrasting this with the narrow hearts of the Corinthians. Paul suggests that faith in God's perfect love, despite knowing everything about us, and love for all saints are the two things that enlarge the heart. A narrow heart, particularly due to wrong attitudes or grudges against others, hinders spiritual life and prayer.
