The Difference Between Old Covenant and New Covenant Servant
By Zac Poonen02CO 3:5Zac Poonen emphasizes the significant differences between old covenant and new covenant servants in his sermon. He explains that while old covenant servants relied on their knowledge of the law, new covenant servants must experience God's message personally and serve from that experience. Poonen highlights that true ministry comes from God's sufficiency, not our own, and that we are called to distribute God's blessings rather than produce them ourselves. He warns against preaching that leads to condemnation, advocating instead for a message that uplifts and brings hope to others. Ultimately, he encourages reliance on God for strength and resources in ministry.
(A Spiritual Leader) 8. Ministering From Life
By Zac Poonen0GEN 1:11MAT 5:14MAT 7:28JHN 1:4JHN 7:38JHN 8:12JHN 9:52CO 3:6HEB 1:1REV 2:1Zac Poonen emphasizes that a spiritual leader must minister from their life rather than mere intellect, contrasting the old and new covenants. He explains that while leaders in the old covenant could serve despite personal immorality, the new covenant requires leaders to embody the life of Christ, producing disciples rather than mere converts. Poonen warns that the spiritual state of a church reflects its leader, and that true ministry flows from a deep, personal relationship with God. He illustrates that just as Jesus' life was the foundation of His ministry, leaders today must ensure their lives are a testament to the transformative power of the Gospel. Ultimately, the call is to cultivate a life that can be passed on, fostering genuine discipleship within the church.
