Zac Poonen - Acquiring The Mind of Christ
Speaker: Zac Poonen Title: Acquiring The Mind of Christ Date: 07/25/2021 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)
Summary
The central message is that Christians must strive to reflect Jesus by growing in personal purity and functioning within the local church. Drawing from parables, the speaker emphasizes that the key is not the quantity of spiritual gifts received, but the faithful percentage of effort applied to what is given. A major danger is having a 'one talent' gift and doing nothing with it, which stems from a misunderstanding of God as an overly demanding taskmaster.
