Zac Poonen · Nov 24, 2025
Zac Poonen teaches that the Sermon on the Mount is Christianity's foundational message, emphasizing that believers can and must live victorious lives over sin through the power of the Holy Spirit, not merely receive forgiveness. He stresses that entering God's kingdom requires poverty of spirit—recognizing oneself as nothing apart from Christ—and genuine mourning over one's failure to reflect God's glory, which leads to strength and comfort from God.
