Zac Poonen - UNDERSTANDING THE NEW COVENANT Part 7: Detached from the love of possessions
Summary
The central message is that true discipleship requires fulfilling three difficult conditions set by Jesus: loving Him above all relationships, daily self-denial by taking up the cross, and giving up the love of possessions. The speaker emphasizes that the conflict is ultimately between devotion to Christ and devotion to money, warning that one cannot serve two masters. Faithfulness in handling small things, like money, demonstrates one's true allegiance.

Zac Poonen - UNDERSTANDING THE NEW COVENANT Part 5: Loving Jesus Supremely
Zac Poonen · Sep 4, 2023
The speaker argues that true entry into the New Covenant requires discipleship, which is more than just knowing how to escape hell. He emphasizes that discipleship involves prioritizing Christ above all earthly relationships—father, mother, wife, and children. This submission means that if Christ commands something, it must take precedence over the wishes of family members.
