How to be Greater Than John the Baptist — Zac Poonen — January 4, 2023
Summary
The speaker emphasizes that true greatness is measured by God's opinion, not man's, drawing from the example of Zachariah's prophecy regarding John the Baptist. He contrasts the earthly kingdom of Israel with the heavenly kingdom (the Church/New Covenant), noting that the latter is attacked by Satan. Ultimately, he teaches that even the least among born-again believers in the Church can be greater than John the Baptist, urging the audience to focus on spiritual growth and God's favor.
Description
Note: We apologize that due to technical difficulties, only the audio is available, and at lower quality during 14:14-30:20. As brother Zac was speaking live from his home, the electricity was suddenly cut off due to a storm in the area. He proceeded to use a flashlight and continued speaking over his phone for the next 15 minutes. When the electricity was restored after around 15 minutes, he switched back to speaking over video. We praise God that in spite of this interruption, everything flowed seamlessly. We believe you will be blessed by this important message. ----- http://rlcf.church River of Life Christian Fellowship 1306 N Lincoln Avenue Loveland, Colorado - 80537, USA

The speaker contrasts the earthly focus of the 'old covenant' with the heavenly focus of the 'new covenant' church. He uses the examples of John the Baptist and the promise to Zacharias to illustrate that true greatness is measured by the Lord, not by worldly success or recognition. Therefore, parents should pray that their children desire to be great in the sight of the Lord rather than being great in the eyes of the world.
