Zac Poonen - March 3, 2012 - NCCF 2012 Spring Conference - Session 2
Summary
The true church is not a building or denomination, but the body of Christ gathered by the Holy Spirit. Drawing from 1 Corinthians 12, the speaker emphasizes that every member, no matter how weak or gifted, is essential to the body, and the head (Christ) never dismisses any part. The church must reflect Christ's humility and value every believer, contrasting this with mere performance or personal gain.

Session 2: One Who is Empowered by the Spirit - Zac Poonen - May 23, 2014
Zac Poonen · May 24, 2014
Building the Church as the Body of Christ requires more than mere intellectual knowledge of scripture; it demands the anointing of the Holy Spirit. The speaker contrasts a mere 'congregation' (like a pile of bricks) with the true 'Body' (a connected structure), emphasizing that true unity involves mutual connection and submission to local leadership. The identifying mark of this body is a sacrificial love, exemplified by the parts of the body caring for one another.
