Zac Poonen - God is a God of Encouragement
Speaker: Zac Poonen Title: God is a God of Encouragement Date: 03/26/2023 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 should emulate God's character by becoming sources of encouragement, rather than condemnation. The speaker argues that our perception of God—whether as an exacting judge or an encouraging Father—shapes our lives and how we treat others. True discipleship involves daily encouragement in our homes and relationships, which is a reflection of worshipping an encouraging God.
