Knowing God's Purpose in Our Marriages - Zac Poonen - April 7, 2012
Part of Zac Poonen Sermons · 434 of 434
Summary
The speaker contrasts the revelation of God's purpose in the Old Covenant versus the New Covenant, noting that while Old Testament prophets' personal lives were largely irrelevant to their ministry, the New Covenant places significant emphasis on a believer's home life. Specifically, the speaker cites 1 Timothy 3, detailing that an elder must be above reproach, temperate, and capable of managing their own family well, a standard that would disqualify many Old Testament figures.

Building a New Covenant Home - Zac Poonen - May 26, 2018
Zac Poonen · May 29, 2018
The speaker argues that family life is given significantly more importance in the New Covenant compared to the Old Testament, where detailed laws regarding marital and family conduct are scarce. He points to the qualifications for an elder in 1 Timothy and Titus, noting the high standards required for a man to manage his own family well. Ultimately, the message is that the high value God places on family life—a theme absent in the Old Covenant—should guide believers' pursuit, regardless of whether they become elders themselves.
