Discerning the Excellent -- Zac Poonen -- February 25, 2009
Summary
The sermon emphasizes the need for spiritual maturity, which involves discerning the difference between what is merely 'good' and what is truly 'excellent.' Drawing from Philippians 1:9-11, the speaker argues that true love, which is the foundation for this discernment, grows in knowledge and judgment. Spiritual growth requires moving beyond simply avoiding evil to actively pursuing the best and most excellent way in all aspects of life.

The speaker emphasizes that the ultimate goal of spiritual growth is to partake in God's nature, which is holiness, rather than merely avoiding sin for fear of hell or for personal testimony. This transformation is a process where sin becomes naturally repulsive, much like water off a duck's back. Furthermore, true love, especially in leadership, must abound in discernment, allowing one to accurately judge people and guard the church from those who are unfit for responsibility.
