4. Zac Poonen - Q & A - Related To The Church
Zac Poonen · May 27, 2017
The central message is that Christian growth requires both individual purity and robust, functioning local church fellowship, mirroring the pattern set by the apostles. The speaker argues that simply bringing people to Christ is insufficient; the apostles actively planted churches, appointed elders, and followed up to ensure the new believers were nurtured and grew. He critiques modern church structures for being overly hierarchical and deviates from the biblical model of organic, apostolic planting and care.
