Zac Poonen - Principles of building a local church as Christ's body
Zac Poonen · Aug 23, 2015
The central message is that true spiritual leadership and effectiveness in building the church require profound brokenness, as God cannot work through those who rely on their own strength or perceived abilities. The speaker uses examples from scripture—Moses, Peter, and Jacob—to illustrate that God often breaks down human strength through failure before fulfilling His purpose. Ultimately, believers must learn to relinquish self-reliance and prioritize God above all else.
