God Speaks Through Trees and Clay — Zac Poonen — November 1, 2023
Summary
The sermon uses Jeremiah 17:7-8 to illustrate that true strength and blessing come from trusting in the Lord, symbolized by a tree planted by water. The speaker emphasizes that this 'water' represents the Holy Spirit, which must be sought deeply and persistently, even when spiritual life feels dry. The core message is a challenge to believers to move beyond mere attendance to cultivate a deep, unseen root system connected to the Holy Spirit to maintain constant freshness and fruitfulness.

Being Fruitful in a Season of Drought -- Sunil Poonen -- June 19, 2025
Sunil Poonen · Jun 20, 2025
The message emphasizes that true spiritual depth is measured not by initial joy in hearing the word, but by enduring trials. Drawing from Jeremiah 17:5-8, the speaker contrasts trusting in self/worldly things with trusting completely in the Lord, likening the latter to a tree deeply rooted by water. True prosperity, therefore, is demonstrated by continuing to bear fruit even during seasons of spiritual drought or difficulty.
