Zac Poonen - Set your mind on heavenly things; Greed is idolatry
Speaker: Zac Poonen Title: Set your mind on heavenly things; Greed is idolatry Date: 02/25/2024 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 that Christians must set their minds on heavenly things and understand their spiritual identity as raised and seated with Christ in the heavenly places, rather than being bound to earthly concerns. He contrasts nominal Christianity with genuine discipleship, emphasizing unashamed public witness for Christ and the need to experience the reality of resurrection power. Greed is exposed as idolatry, and believers are called to maintain a heavenly perspective by understanding baptism as burial with Christ and living out that spiritual reality daily.
