Zac Poonen - Building the Walls Around the Church
Zac Poonen · Sep 29, 2025 · 44m
Drawing from Nehemiah's burden to rebuild Jerusalem's walls, Zac Poonen teaches that effective church members must have a deep concern for the spiritual condition and purity of the local church. He emphasizes that the walls of Jerusalem symbolize separation from worldliness and salvation, while the gates represent praise; when these walls break down, the church becomes indistinguishable from the world, allowing compromises like divorce, false baptism practices, and worldly spirit to infiltrate. Christians must actively stand against corruption and backsliding to maintain the church's holiness and function as a true reflection of Jesus.
