Speaker: Zac Poonen
Title: Warn Your Children of Three Great Dangers
Date: 05/10/2026
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
Zac Poonen teaches mothers that the three greatest dangers children face are worldly honor, money, and sinful pleasure, using Moses' mother as an example of how parental instruction in the formative years can equip children to reject these temptations throughout their lives. He emphasizes that mothers have a critical window in a child's early years to instill godly values that will protect them decades later when they encounter worldly allures.
