Zac Poonen - Fellowship with Christ in His Death
Summary
The central message is that Christian fellowship, particularly during the Lord's Supper, must move beyond mere ritual remembrance to a deep, daily participation in the death of Christ. The speaker emphasizes that following Jesus requires a continuous, daily willingness to die to self, which is the true meaning of partaking of the broken body. Believers must examine their own desire to take up the cross daily, as this genuine desire is what God accepts.

Zac Poonen - Fellowship in Jesus' Body and Blood
Zac Poonen · May 3, 2021
The sermon emphasizes that Christian fellowship is a deep reality, not merely a ritual, as seen in the breaking of bread. True fellowship requires believers to reflect Jesus' life by dying to their own self-will and carrying the 'dying of Jesus' daily, which is a process empowered by the Holy Spirit. This surrender eliminates inward demands on others, allowing for genuine bearing with one another and manifesting the life of Christ for God's glory.
