Preserving The Standard of Jesus and The Apostles - Zac Poonen
Summary
The speaker emphasizes that the primary focus of the church should be on maintaining purity and quality of its members, rather than merely increasing in numbers. He draws from scripture to argue that while evangelism is important, the internal work of discipleship and guarding against corruption (the 'leaven') is paramount. True Christian living, according to him, is demonstrated by a consistent, godly life throughout the entire week, not just on Sunday.

Zac Poonen - The New Covenant Standard Is Attainable
Zac Poonen · May 7, 2018
The central message is that the New Covenant standard of Christian living is attainable through a passionate desire to reflect Jesus Christ. The speaker emphasizes that this standard requires more than mere knowledge of scripture; it demands a deep, consuming thirst for righteousness, similar to thirst in the desert. He argues that true discipleship involves striving to live up to the elevated standards set by Christ, rather than settling for the comfortable compromises of the Old Covenant or current cultural norms.
