Testing Your Godliness - 1: Love Your Enemy - Santosh Poonen - May 4, 2014
Summary
The speaker emphasizes that true godliness is measured not by programs or activities, but by a deep, increasing love for God and for fellow believers. He argues that a genuine love for God is demonstrated through loving one's spouse, children, and church community self-sacrificially. The message warns against treating Christ or the church as a 'project' or a cause to be promoted, stressing instead that obedience must originate from the Lord's sovereign will.

Testing Your Godliness - 2: Who is Your Enemy? - Santosh Poonen - June 8, 2014
Santosh Poonen · Jun 10, 2014
The sermon explores the depth of knowing God, arguing that true knowledge comes not just from knowing His works or reading His word, but from experiencing Him through Jesus Christ. Jesus' teachings, particularly in Matthew 5, shift the standard from the letter of the law to the heart of God's love, exemplified by loving enemies. The speaker cautions against merely 'working for Christ' based on personal fancies, emphasizing that all Christian service must originate from the Sovereign will and command of the Lord.
