Zac Poonen emphasizes the danger of Pharisaism within the church, highlighting how Jesus expressed anger towards the indifference of the Pharisees to human suffering, as seen in Mark 3:5. He urges believers to distinguish between Christ-like anger, which is directed at injustice and indifference, and sinful anger, which is often self-centered. Poonen warns against the tendency to judge others based on external appearances and encourages a deeper devotion to God that manifests in love and mercy towards those in need. He illustrates this through biblical examples, including the parable of the Good Samaritan and the story of Job, stressing that true spirituality is measured by our compassion for others rather than our religious activities.

In this sermon, the preacher emphasizes the role of the tutor in delivering people from condemnation.

The preacher highlights the depth of God's wisdom and knowledge, which are beyond human understanding. He also discusses the ministry of the law, describing it as the ministry of condemnation and death.

In this sermon, the preacher focuses on Luke chapter twelve, verse forty-five, which talks about a slave who becomes abusive towards other slaves because he believes his master will be delayed in returning. The preacher emphasizes the importance of ministers giving people the spiritual nourishment they need at the right time, rather than using their position to criticize and condemn others. He warns against comparing oneself to others and despising them based on external appearances or behaviors. The preacher also highlights the danger of creating a culture of guilt and condemnation within churches, instead of offering hope and assurance of God's love and forgiveness. He references the parable of the laborers in the vineyard to illustrate the idea that even those who have wasted much of their lives can still give themselves to God and receive His grace.

In this sermon, the preacher emphasizes the freedom that comes from being a Christian. He explains that through redemption, believers are bought and set free by God, no longer for sale in the market. The preacher contrasts the limited freedom offered by religion with the true freedom found in Jesus Christ.

The sermon concludes with a call to choose Christ over religion and to humble oneself under God's hand.
