Elders: You Should Lead Your People Into the New Covenant -- Zac Poonen -- September 18, 2021
Part of Zac Poonen Sermons · 169 of 434
Summary
The speaker emphasizes that claiming to be a 'new covenant church' requires understanding its core implication: the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, which was unprecedented under the old covenant. He warns against counterfeits, such as those taught in some charismatic circles, and stresses that true assurance of salvation and the Spirit's work must come from a personal, undeniable witness from God. Furthermore, he distinguishes between the initial filling, continuous experience, and the lifelong process of growing into Christ's likeness, urging leaders to maintain a constant dependence on God.

Qualities of a Godly Elder -- Zac Poonen -- October 10, 2021
Zac Poonen · Oct 11, 2021
The speaker emphasizes that the New Covenant church is defined by living under Jesus Christ through the Bible, not by following old covenant practices or the teachings of men. He stresses that the church is the people, not a building, and that leadership in the New Covenant is communal, requiring multiple appointed elders rather than a single pastor. The qualifications for an elder include having a good testimony, being a man of one wife, and having children who love the Lord.
