In this sermon, the speaker shares two powerful stories that illustrate the brokenness and suffering in the world. The first story is about a missionary in Haiti who brings doctors to remote villages to provide medical care. Despite their efforts, the speaker emphasizes that God's wrath is raised against those who neglect the needs of the vulnerable. The second story is from the book of Judges, highlighting the consequences of people doing what is right in their own eyes. The speaker concludes by emphasizing that man is inherently sinful and that the world would be much worse without God's restraining hand.

Zac Poonen emphasizes the characteristics of true New-Covenant servants and churches, highlighting that anyone can serve God if they are free from sin, mammon, and the desire to please men. He critiques the misconception that only those who abandon secular jobs can be servants of God, asserting that true servanthood is about spiritual integrity and prioritizing God's kingdom over material wealth. Poonen also discusses the essential qualities of a New-Covenant church, which include the presence of God and the transformative power of His glory, rather than mere adherence to traditions or patterns. He warns against hypocrisy and the dangers of seeking personal gain within ministry, urging believers to focus on genuine discipleship and the pursuit of God's glory.
