FAITH RECEIVES GOD’S FULLNESS (2) Have you wanted the fullness of the Holy Spirit? God offers Him in His fullness to you as a gift. What have you done with the offer? Are you still praying for the fullness of the Holy Spirit? If so, what do you expect to accomplish through your prayers?…
FAITH RECKONS ON GOD’S FAITHFULNESS (1) Our faith may falter, but His faithfulness never. Peter failed Christ, oh! so miserably that three times over he could deny his Lord. But the faithfulness of Jesus Christ to Peter remained unshaken. The heavenly Father cannot forget His promises, nor can He deny Himself by failing to…
Romans-1 The Gospel of God revealed in Romans is far greater than the forgiveness of sins. Step by step, Paul leads us from recognizing our true condition as sinners to justification by faith, peace with God, freedom from sin, sanctification, consecration, fellowship in the Body of Christ, and an ever-deepening participation in the life…
Acts-1 The opening chapters of Acts reveal the principles that shaped the life and ministry of the early church. Jesus first did and then taught, establishing the pattern for New Covenant ministry. His disciples were called not merely to possess knowledge but to receive the power of the Holy Spirit, bear witness to Christ’s…
John-2 What did Jesus come to earth to do? Beyond dying for our sins, Jesus revealed through His entire life what it means for a Man to live wholly surrendered to the Father: “not to do My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me.” In this study through the Gospel of…
FAITH RESTS ON GOD’S FOUNDATION The whole superstructure of spiritual experience is built upon a solid and unmovable foundation because it is built upon Jesus Christ Himself. 1 Corinthians 3:11 “For no one can lay a foundation other than the one which is laid, which is Jesus Christ.” 1 Peter 2:6 “Wherefore also it…
John-1 In this study of the opening chapters of the Gospel of John, Zac Poonen shows that Christianity is not merely a message to be heard but a life to be seen. Jesus Christ, the eternal Word made flesh, perfectly revealed God through a life full of grace and truth. His life was the…
Luke-3 In this study through Luke 15–24, Zac Poonen traces what it means to live in fellowship with the heart of God. Beginning with the lost sheep, the lost coin, and the lost son, he shows the concern of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit for those who are lost and calls believers not…
Luke-1 In this study of the opening chapters of the Gospel of Luke, Zac Poonen draws attention to Jesus Christ as the perfect Man and our example for life and service. From John the Baptist, Mary, Elizabeth, Zacharias, Simeon, and Anna to the baptism and temptation of Jesus, Luke repeatedly emphasizes the person, presence,…
Mark The Gospel of Mark presents Jesus Christ as the Son of God and gives us a powerful picture of His life in action. Through Mark’s account, we see Jesus calling disciples to both learn from Him and follow Him, seeking His Father early in prayer, doing His Father’s will, loving and serving people,…
Matthew-1 The Gospel of Matthew presents Jesus Christ as the King and reveals the Kingdom of Heaven as the government of Heaven brought into everyday life. Salvation is more than forgiveness or the hope of going to Heaven after death; it means coming under God’s rule and being saved from the earthly way of…
Zechariah In this study of Zechariah, Zac Poonen unfolds a remarkable picture of God’s purpose for His Church. Through Zechariah’s visions, we see God calling His people out of Babylon, surrounding His Church as a wall of fire, defending His servants against Satan’s accusations, cleansing and clothing them in righteousness, and continually supplying His…
Isaiah-2 Isaiah 40–66 opens a remarkable window into New Covenant life, revealing the holiness and almighty power of God, the ministry of the Holy Spirit, the coming and suffering of Christ, and God’s abundant promises to those who trust and serve Him. These chapters call believers to wait upon the Lord for strength, walk…
Isaiah-1 The first thirty-nine chapters of Isaiah give us a powerful vision of the Holy One of Israel—a sovereign God who hates sin, judges pride and hypocrisy, calls His people to repentance, and yet extends grace and cleansing to those who turn to Him. At the heart of this section stands Isaiah’s vision of…
THE LIFE YIELDED — HOW? (3) Oh! my friends, where have you put the Lord Jesus Christ in your life? Have you any locked doors? Have you put Him away in some little hidden corner and given Him no freedom in your life? Has He longed to get into the social hall of your…
Psalms-1 The Book of Psalms reveals the heart of godly men who learned to seek, trust, praise, and obey God through every circumstance of life. In this study of Psalms 1–72, we see the importance of meditating on God’s Word until it becomes part of our lives, trusting Him in suffering and opposition, controlling…
Deuteronomy The Book of Deuteronomy serves as Moses’ final message to Israel before they entered the Promised Land, calling God’s people to remember His faithfulness, obey His commands wholeheartedly, and live with an eternal perspective. This study highlights three essential perspectives for every believer—looking back with gratitude, looking upward to Christ, and looking forward…
Leviticus Leviticus is often considered one of the most difficult books of the Bible, yet its central message is wonderfully clear: God is holy, and He calls His people to share His holiness. This study explores how the five offerings, the seven feasts, the priesthood, and the detailed laws of Leviticus all point beyond…
Exodus-2 The Tabernacle is one of the greatest pictures of God’s eternal purpose found in Scripture. Every detail—from the Ark of the Covenant to the veil, the altar, the laver, the lampstand, and the Most Holy Place—points ultimately to Jesus Christ and God’s desire to dwell among His people. Rather than emphasizing religious activity…
Exodus This study of Exodus reveals far more than Israel’s deliverance from Egypt—it unveils God’s unchanging principles for preparing His servants and accomplishing His purposes. Through the life of Moses, we see that God often uses adversity, brokenness, and prolonged seasons of preparation to shape men and women for effective ministry. The Passover points…
28. God Centered Prayer In this study of the Lord’s Prayer (Matthew 6), we discover that Jesus did not merely teach His disciples what to pray but how to think when they pray. Before bringing personal needs before the Father, believers are taught to seek God’s glory, God’s kingdom, and God’s will above everything…
25. The New Covenant The New Covenant, established through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, offers far more than forgiveness of sins. Unlike the Old Covenant, which depended upon external commandments and exposed humanity’s inability to obey God perfectly, the New Covenant provides three glorious promises: God completely forgives and remembers our sins…
24. Faith Results In Praise Many Christians understand that Christ completed the work of salvation on the cross, but what should be their response to this finished work? This study explains that genuine faith is demonstrated through heartfelt praise and thanksgiving rather than by merely repeating positive confessions. Drawing from the examples of Jehoshaphat,…
23. Satan Has Been Defeated When Jesus declared, “It is finished,” He completed far more than the payment for mankind’s sins. His death on the cross not only canceled our debt before God but also stripped Satan of his authority over those who submit to Christ. This study examines the biblical truth that believers…
22. Examples Of Humility The humility of Jesus Christ stands in complete contrast to the pride that brought sin into the world through Satan. This study demonstrates that while Jesus showed mercy and compassion toward repentant sinners, He consistently opposed religious pride and self-righteousness. Drawing from numerous passages throughout Scripture, it reveals that God’s…
21.Jesus’ Attitude To Money Jesus Christ came not only to die for our sins but also to demonstrate how God intends mankind to live. In this study, His earthly life reveals a perfect example of victory over temptation and complete freedom from the love of material possessions. Whether working as a carpenter or serving…
19. Likeness To Christ This message explores the deeper purpose of Christ’s coming to earth. While His sacrificial death secured forgiveness of sins, God’s ultimate goal is far greater—to transform believers into the likeness of His Son. Jesus not only became our Savior but also our perfect example, demonstrating complete submission to the Father’s…
18. The Humanity Of Jesus This message reveals God’s original purpose for mankind and His provision for restoring that purpose through Jesus Christ and the indwelling Holy Spirit. Rather than merely acquiring biblical knowledge, believers are invited to take Christ’s yoke and learn directly from His life, allowing the Holy Spirit to transform them…
17. Transformation Many Christians believe heaven is the ultimate destination of the Christian life, yet Scripture reveals that God’s predetermined purpose is far greater—to conform believers into the image of His Son. This study explores the narrow gate of the new birth, the narrow way of sanctification, the continual work of the Holy Spirit,…
16. Why Satan Was Not Destroyed This study examines one of Scripture’s most profound questions: Why does God allow Satan to continue to exist? By tracing the devil’s fall, God’s sovereign use of evil to accomplish His purposes, and Christ’s complete victory on the cross, this message demonstrates that Satan is never outside God’s…
15. Jesus Is Our Forerunner This study explores the often-overlooked biblical truth that Jesus is our “Forerunner,” demonstrating not only His deity but also His full humanity. Because Christ faced genuine temptation as a man while relying on the power of the Holy Spirit, He became the perfect example for every believer to follow….
14. Salvation From Sin This study examines the central purpose of Christ’s coming as revealed in the very first promise of the New Testament: “He will save His people from their sins” (Matthew 1:21). It explains the critical difference between receiving forgiveness for sin and experiencing deliverance from sin’s power through the New Covenant….
13. How Satan Became Satan This Bible study examines the biblical origin of evil by tracing the fall of Satan before the creation of mankind.

7. Grace and Faith This study explains humanity’s universal problem of sin and God’s solution through Jesus Christ. While all people have sinned and fallen short of God’s perfect standard, God, in both His love and justice, provided a way for forgiveness through the death and resurrection of His Son. The gospel is unique…
6. Free Will And The Conscience One of God’s greatest gifts to humanity is the freedom to choose. In this study, we examine how free will is essential to holiness because genuine obedience must be voluntary rather than forced. God never removes a believer’s ability to choose, even after conversion or being filled with…
5. Two Types of Sin This study examines foundational truths in Genesis 3 and 4, highlighting the distinction between sins that primarily harm oneself and those that harm others. While Adam and Eve’s sin brought spiritual death and separation from God, Cain’s sin introduced injury against another person, resulting in a direct curse upon…
4.The Fall Of Man Genesis 3 provides profound lessons about the nature of sin and God’s redemptive purpose for mankind. After Adam and Eve sinned, they attempted to hide from God and cover themselves with fig leaves, illustrating humanity’s ongoing tendency to conceal failure, seek acceptance through works, and blame others rather than acknowledge…
3. The Blood Of Christ And Justification This message explores the profound difference between the Old Covenant and the New Covenant through the blood of Jesus Christ.

The Spirit-filled Life In our studies so far, we have considered God’s wondrous plan of salvation as wrought out in the Lord Jesus Christ. We have seen what Christ came to do for us, to be in us, and to work through us. We have faced what life in Christ may be and, therefore,…
THE MOST TRIUMPHANT WORDS ever spoken were those which fell from the lips of the Lord Jesus Christ when on the cross He said, “It is finished.” It was the divine proclamation that grace had triumphed over sin. It was God’s pronouncement to the world that all that had been lost both to Him…
THE PROMISE OF CHRIST FULFILLED Christ had promised that if He went away, the Holy Spirit would come, and His promise was fulfilled literally. He died and rose again. He met the disciples individually and collectively several times, revealing Himself to them as their risen Lord. He gave them a last commission, then repeated…
But why should He dread the inevitable “hour” or shrink from its approach? But an hour or two before, He had said, “Now I go my way to him that sent me.” Would not death be to Him an hour of glorious release from a life environed by sin, suffering, and sorrow? Would it…
