Lessons from the life of Samuel - Zac Poonen
Summary
The sermon uses the life of Samuel to teach that one must remain steadfast in devotion to the Lord, regardless of surrounding godlessness. Key lessons include maintaining an attitude of constant readiness to hear God's voice—'Speak, for thy servant is listening'—and ensuring that every word spoken, both in ministry and private life, is intentional and directed toward the heart. Furthermore, the speaker warns against neglecting family life while serving God, citing Samuel's later failure to guide his sons properly.

Lessons from the life of Saul - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Apr 18, 2023
The sermon uses the life of Saul to illustrate the importance of recognizing and staying within the ministry God has assigned. While Saul initially displayed many positive qualities—such as faithfulness, wisdom, humility, and courage—he ultimately lost his anointing and kingdom due to impatience and overstepping boundaries, specifically by offering a sacrifice when Samuel had not arrived. The central message is a warning to recognize one's God-given ministry and respect the boundaries set by God.
