We come now ... Read More

(Knowing God's Way) 21. Understanding The Truth Accurately

(Living As Jesus Lived) 9. The Bride Of Christ

Zac PoonenIn the closing pages of Scripture, we find the result of the Holy Spirit's work - the Bride of Christ. We also see there the result of Satan's counterfeit work - the Harlot church.

(New Wine In New Wineskins) 17. Signs that point to the return of Christ

Zac PoonenThe world has never been the same since 1939. Something happened at that time that started a chain reaction in many areas that will end only with the second coming of Christ.

(New Wine In New Wineskins) 20. Our distinctive calling as a church

Zac PoonenWhat is our distinctive calling as a church in the different localities in our country where God has placed us?

Zac PoonenVerses 1, 2: After these things I heard, as it were, a loud voice of a great multitude in heaven, saying 'Hallelujah! salvation and glory and power belong to our God; because His judgments are true and righteous; for He has judged the great harlot who was corrupting the earth with her immorality, an...

(The Final Triumph) 4. Chapter 4

Zac PoonenBefore we turn to Chapter Four, it will be good to remember what we read earlier, Blessed is he who reads and those who hears the words of the prophecy, and obeys the things which are written in it; for the time is near (Revelation 1:3). When believers study prophecy, their interest is usually relat... Read More

(The Supreme Priorities) 4. One Thing Thou Lackest

Zac Poonen"And when he was gone forth into the way, there came one running, and kneeled to him, and asked him, Good Master, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?
