Zac Poonen - Testifying Honestly When Breaking Bread
Summary
When breaking bread, Christians must examine themselves honestly on both the vertical dimension (relationship with God) and the horizontal dimension (relationships with fellow believers). Taking communion lightly without judging oneself and resolving conflicts with others dishonors Christ's body and can result in serious spiritual consequences, as illustrated in Scripture and seen in examples of believers who fell away.
Description
Speaker: Zac Poonen Title: Testifying Honestly When Breaking Bread Date: 09/07/2025 Our Goal as Christians is this: To be an exact reflection of Jesus, the Son of God (Romans 8:29) We do this individually by growing in purity in our personal lives (1 John 3:2-3) We do this corporately by becoming fully functioning members of a local Church (Ephesians 4:11-16)

Zac Poonen - Having Right Attitudes When Breaking Bread
Zac Poonen · Jul 7, 2025
When breaking bread at the Lord's table, Christians must examine themselves with humility and self-judgment rather than judging others, asking 'Lord, is it me?' in light of Jesus' teaching. The breaking of bread should reflect Jesus' example of servant leadership and humility, demonstrated when he washed his disciples' feet—a model of how believers should serve one another in the church community.
