Sanjay Poonen - God Can Make the Impossible Possible
Summary
Sanjay Poonen teaches that God empowers believers to accomplish the impossible through submission and faith, using the principle of a lever and fulcrum as a physical metaphor for how divine strength enables weakness. Drawing from Matthew 17 and 11:28-29, he emphasizes that rest comes through taking Jesus's yoke—learning his gentleness and humility—which paradoxically makes the weaker believer strongest, enabling them to overcome obstacles like temptation, peer pressure, and seemingly insurmountable challenges. The church's role is to help one another enter this place of rest and victory through encouragement and spiritual support.

Sanjay Poonen - God and the Church as a Picture of a Godly Mother
Sanjay Poonen · May 13, 2025
Sanjay Poonen uses the picture of a godly mother to illustrate how the church should function as God's strong tower, sanctuary, and place of care. Drawing from Scripture, he highlights three key characteristics: providing a safe refuge for the righteous, embracing redemptive suffering that produces joy and fruit, and serving as encouragers and helpers to those in need. The goal is for the church community to reflect God's motherly care and raise up a unified family centered on Christ.
