Discipleship and Obeying Jesus' Commands — Zac Poonen — April 6, 2024
Summary
The central message is that building a church requires more than just preaching the gospel; it demands making disciples who are taught to obey every command of Jesus. The speaker contrasts a mere convert, who only wants to go to heaven, with a true disciple, who commits to following and doing what Christ commanded. He emphasizes that this commitment to obedience is the condition for Christ's promise to be with them.

Discipleship And The New Covenant - Zac Poonen (15 July 2012)
Zac Poonen · Jul 25, 2012
The speaker emphasizes that the Great Commission requires two parts: preaching the gospel (Mark 16:15) and making disciples (Matthew 28:19-20). True discipleship involves more than just accepting Christ; it requires loving Jesus above all else, denying oneself daily, and prioritizing Christ over possessions. Furthermore, disciples must be taught to live by every command of Christ, including loving enemies and practicing radical obedience, rather than just hearing about salvation.
