Zac Poonen preaches on how God tested Moses twice to see if he would seek his own honor at the expense of the Israelites, and how Moses passed the test with flying colors both times, displaying a spirit of selflessness and intercession. Despite the opportunity to become the inheritor of the promises made to Abraham and the twelve tribes of Israel, Moses pleaded with God to spare the Israelites, willing even to be blotted out from God's book for their sake. This selfless attitude led to God speaking intimately with Moses and granting him the privilege of seeing His glory.

Zac Poonen emphasizes the testing of Moses by God, particularly in the construction of the tabernacle and in moments of potential self-promotion at the expense of the Israelites. Moses' unwavering commitment to God's people, even when offered personal glory, exemplifies the spirit of Christ, who sacrificed for the sake of others. Poonen challenges listeners to reflect on their own motivations and whether they align with God's pattern as revealed in Scripture. He highlights that true servants of God must prioritize the well-being of others over their own honor, a quality that is rare among believers today. Ultimately, the sermon calls for a deeper spirit of intercession and selflessness in the lives of Christians.
