Zac Poonen - The Right Way to Break Bread Together
Summary
Zac Poonen teaches on the proper approach to observing the Lord's Supper, emphasizing that breaking bread together testifies to unity in the body of Christ. Drawing from John 13 and 1 Corinthians 10-11, he stresses the importance of self-examination and love for imperfect church members, warning against judgment of others and calling believers to judge themselves daily to maintain purity and unity. The core message is that partaking unworthily while harboring unforgiveness or judgment toward others dishonors Christ and can result in spiritual consequences.

Zac Poonen - The Importance of “Breaking of Bread” as a Church
Zac Poonen · Mar 4, 2025
Zac Poonen emphasizes that the breaking of bread (communion) was central to the early church and should remain a vital practice today, not merely a ritual. He teaches that it signifies our unity as one body in Christ and calls believers to examine themselves—not others—regarding their commitment to Jesus and the church community. The practice carries serious spiritual weight: partaking worthily strengthens our identification with Christ's death and resurrection, while self-judgment during the breaking of bread protects us from final judgment.
