God Created Man To Subdue And Rule - Charles Banna
Charles Banna · Jul 24, 2018 · 53m
God's original intention for humanity was for man to rule over the earth, subduing all creatures, both in nature and in sin. This principle extends from Adam's initial mandate to Cain's struggle against sin, and later to the Christian life, where believers are called to conquer and rule over their internal desires and lusts. The speaker emphasizes that with God's support, believers can overcome all spiritual enemies, just as Israel was commanded to conquer all inhabitants of the land.

The Narrow Way To Life - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jul 24, 2018 · 44m
Jesus taught that the path to life is the narrow way, contrasting it with the broad way that leads to destruction. This narrow path requires internal transformation, focusing on what God thinks of our hearts, rather than merely adhering to external rules like the Ten Commandments. The speaker emphasizes that true discipleship involves guarding against internal sins like anger and lust, which are often overlooked in modern preaching.

Run Like Jesus to the Finish Line - Santosh Poonen - July 22, 2018
Santosh Poonen · Jul 23, 2018 · 16m
The central message is that in the Christian life, the focus must be on finishing the race with endurance, rather than on how one started. Drawing from 1 Corinthians 9 and Hebrews 12, the speaker emphasizes that the goal is to win the prize by keeping eyes fixed on the finish line. Believers must actively lay aside all hindrances, or 'encumbrances,' to run with perseverance until the end.

The Old Man, The Old Covenant, and the New Covenant - Zac Poonen - July 22, 2018
Zac Poonen · Jul 23, 2018 · 1h 10m
The speaker compares the Old Covenant to the New Covenant, using the analogy of Moses failing to lead Israel into Canaan, while Jesus, like Joshua, leads believers into the promised life. He defines sin not just as breaking a law, but as anything contrary to the perfect life lived by Jesus Christ. The central message is that believers must press on toward Christlikeness, understanding that the goal is to become like Jesus, which is possible through the grace of the New Covenant.

God Strongly Supports Those Who Have Faith In Him (2 Chronicles 16:9) - Ian Robson
Ian Robson · Jul 23, 2018 · 34m
The sermon contrasts the initial faithfulness of King Asa with his later reliance on worldly things rather than God. The speaker emphasizes that God's eyes are constantly looking for those whose hearts are completely devoted to Him. True faith means maintaining trust in God through all circumstances—success, difficulty, and decline—to ensure a faithful end.

The central message is that Christians must strive to be an exact reflection of Jesus Christ both individually and corporately. The speaker emphasizes that this requires an unchanging ambition to please God, living as an example in all things, and maintaining constant nearness to God, especially during times of plenty, as this is when temptation to desire worldly things is strongest. The core focus is on Christlikeness through example and sustained devotion.

Zac Poonen - The Example Of Two Good Mothers
Zac Poonen · Jul 11, 2018 · 28m
The sermon emphasizes that the goal of Christians is to reflect Jesus by growing in personal purity and functioning corporately within the local church. It draws parallels between Old and New Covenants regarding dedication to God, stressing that all children belong to the Lord. A key focus is placed on the vital role of parents, especially mothers, in raising godly children, citing Moses's mother as a prime example of faith protecting a child.

Zac Poonen - The Narrow Way To Life
Zac Poonen · Jul 11, 2018 · 44m
Jesus taught that true discipleship requires walking the narrow way, which goes far beyond mere external adherence to rules like not committing murder or adultery. This narrow path demands internal purity, specifically concerning one's heart, thoughts, and anger. The speaker emphasizes that most Christians only focus on external testimony, missing the profound call to guard one's private life and heart from sin.

The speaker encourages the congregation to remain faithful to God in these last days, emphasizing that God is gathering a remnant who love Him and honor Him in all things. He references Romans 11:22 to highlight God's boundless mercy and wisdom, concluding with a call to humility and praise.

Bobby McDonald - The Path To Reconciliation
Bobby McDonald · Jul 6, 2018 · 15m
The central message is the necessity of actively pursuing reconciliation with all people, drawing lessons from the story of Esau who forfeited his birthright due to a single moment of hunger. The speaker emphasizes that holding onto grudges or bitterness can cause us to lose spiritual blessings, urging listeners to proactively seek peace, even when others are at fault. True reconciliation requires a willingness to 'die to self' and guard one's tongue to restore relationships for the sake of peace.

The speaker emphasizes the importance of teaching the next generation to praise God, give thanks in all things, and place their confidence in God, drawing from Psalm 78. Beyond mere knowledge, the message stresses teaching children to repent of sin and to receive the power of the Holy Spirit, as these are necessary for a life of true praise and connection with God.

The central message is that Christians must live by the principles of Christ in every area of life, trusting that God will never test them beyond their ability. The speaker emphasizes that true belief means surrendering completely to God's will, even when facing difficult circumstances, and encourages believers to remain vigilant and hopeful as the end times approach.

Givers and Takers, and the Pathway to the Throne - Santosh Poonen - June 17, 2018
Santosh Poonen · Jun 18, 2018 · 52m
The central message emphasizes that the Father's pleasure is to give the kingdom to the 'little flock,' which is characterized by a pure heart. True spiritual insight and connection with God do not come from academic study or overcoming sin alone, but from having a pure heart that offers one's life to the Lord with all its brokenness. The sermon contrasts the disciples' desire for earthly status and authority with Jesus' teaching that greatness in the Kingdom is found in serving and sacrificing one's life for others.

Zac Poonen · Jun 12, 2018 · 1h 23m
The central message is that Christians must focus their lives on building the Church—the bride of Jesus Christ—as this is the only thing that will endure judgment. Drawing parallels from Moses, the speaker emphasizes that God uses people only after they have been reduced to zero, stripping away self-confidence and worldly knowledge. True service requires humility and reliance solely on God's power, not personal ability.

Zac Poonen · Jun 12, 2018 · 1h 7m
The central message emphasizes that true Christian life requires dependence on God's Spirit, contrasting this 'Tree of Life' faith with the self-sufficiency symbolized by the 'Tree of Knowledge.' The speaker argues that believers often drift into intellectualism and personal ability rather than relying wholly on Christ. Following Jesus means daily denial of self, enduring opposition, and keeping one's focus entirely on Him.

Zac Poonen · Jun 12, 2018 · 1h 0m
The speaker emphasizes that true Christian service requires recognizing our own helplessness and continually seeking the filling of the Holy Spirit. He draws parallels from biblical figures like Moses, Elijah, and John the Baptist to illustrate how even powerful individuals faltered at the end of their lives. The central message urges believers to emulate Jesus by aiming to live and end life as a humble servant washing the feet of disciples, rather than seeking earthly honor or position.

Austin CFC Zac Poonen conf 2018 - Session 2 – Jesus Was Tempted Exactly Like Us
Zac Poonen · Jun 12, 2018 · 59m
The speaker argues that the New Covenant provides believers with something superior to the miracles and acts of faith seen in the Old Covenant. He emphasizes that while the Old Testament focused heavily on external obedience, Jesus' teachings, particularly in the Sermon on the Mount, brought the focus inward—addressing internal matters like anger and lust. The Christian life is thus presented as an inward race running after Christ.

Zac Poonen - Dying To Self And Entering Into Rest
Zac Poonen · Jun 6, 2018 · 1h 1m
The central message is that true joy and spiritual fullness come from dwelling continually in the Lord's presence, which requires personal accountability rather than blaming circumstances or others. The speaker emphasizes that Jesus' miracles served to teach that God can solve any problem, and believers should live with the conviction that nothing is too difficult for God to solve. By taking these spiritual truths seriously, one can move from a defeated life to one characterized by joy and reliance on God's constant provision.

Zac Poonen - Living By Every Word That God Speaks
Zac Poonen · Jun 6, 2018 · 1h 26m
The central message is that Christians must strive to be an exact reflection of Jesus by continually renewing their minds to think from God's perspective. This requires constant spiritual discipline, as illustrated by Jesus's obedience to the Father's will even when opportunities for ministry were present. Ultimately, this transformation involves presenting one's body and mind as living sacrifices to God, allowing the Holy Spirit to change one's thinking to align with God's good, acceptable, and perfect will.

The message centers on the theme of surrender, drawing a parallel between Jesus' prayer in Gethsemane—'not my will but yours be done'—and the need for believers to offer their entire selves as a living sacrifice. The speaker encourages the congregation to emulate this total surrender to God's will, drawing further parallels to Jacob's struggle and eventual blessing.

Do Your Part to Build Christ's Body - Zac Poonen - May 30, 2018
Zac Poonen · May 31, 2018 · 1h 3m
The sermon emphasizes the need for believers to maintain diligence and zeal in their Christian walk, warning against spiritual sluggishness. The speaker draws a parallel between the Old Covenant, where work was concentrated among a few leaders, and the New Covenant, where every member is called to function actively as a body. True contribution is defined not merely by practical or financial service, but by a spiritual offering—a manifestation of the Holy Spirit for the common good.

The Danger of Money in Building the Church - Zac Poonen - May 27, 2018
Zac Poonen · May 30, 2018 · 1h 4m
The central message is the difference between merely hearing spiritual truths intellectually versus having them deeply rooted in the heart. The speaker uses the contrast between Saul, who lived by his head, and David, who was a man of the heart, to illustrate this. True commitment to building the church requires dying to self-welfare and submitting to the authority of Christ, much like bricks forming a strong building.

Zac Poonen · May 30, 2018 · 1h 1m
The speaker addresses various theological questions, including the necessity of marriage for the new covenant life and the understanding of roles within marriage, emphasizing co-heirship. He cautions against viewing God as a punitive policeman, urging instead that people recognize God as a loving Father. The central message is to approach evangelism and discipleship by first acting as a friend to sinners, rather than immediately presenting judgment.
