August 4 | Daily Devotion | The Mark Of New Covenant Blessing Is Not Wealth And Health | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · 11m · CFC Daily Devotions
True blessing under the New Covenant is not measured by material wealth and health, but by spiritual transformation and union with Christ. The mark of God's blessing is internal holiness and a clear vision of Christ, not external prosperity.

Bobby McDonand - God Is Rooting For Us
Bobby McDonald · Nov 9, 2015 · 12m
The speaker reflects on a real-life dilemma regarding home renovations, contrasting worldly wisdom with God's will. He learns that giving everything to God, even when it seems unwise by worldly standards, is honoring to Him. The message culminates in the understanding that living with integrity—letting your 'yes' be yes and your 'no' be no—is the path to God's intimacy, illustrating that God is actively rooting for us to follow His will.

Jeremy Utley - Ezra: Resting in God's Protection
Jeremy Utley · Nov 9, 2015 · 13m
The speaker uses the book of Ezra to illustrate that God has the power to accomplish His purposes even when human circumstances or leaders are unfavorable. He emphasizes that believers should not worry about the future or speculate, but instead trust that God can move hearts and provide protection. The central takeaway is to view all favorable outcomes in life as an extension of God's loving kindness, leading to unshakable peace.

Bobby McDonald - Faith that God is merciful
Bobby McDonald · Nov 2, 2015 · 9m
The speaker advises believers to approach life decisions with faith, remembering that God is in control and we should not plan too far ahead or base choices on fear. True faith involves submitting our plans to God's will and trusting in His mercy, rather than questioning His power or goodness. The core message emphasizes having full confidence not only in God's power but also in His merciful nature.

Jeremy Utley - Faith greater than a set of rules
Jeremy Utley · Nov 2, 2015 · 9m
The central message is that Christian faith must not be reduced to a set of rules or what one can or cannot do. The speaker argues that true dependence on God comes from listening to His word and treasuring Him, rather than adhering strictly to religious practices or rules, even those given by God like the Law. He uses examples from the Old Testament (Zechariah 7) and the Pharisees to illustrate how focusing on minor rules can lead to spiritual hardening and neglect of what truly matters.

Bobby McDonald - Pray, God can do anything
Bobby McDonald · Oct 26, 2015 · 3m 3s
The central message is the simple yet profound call to prayer, encapsulated by the phrase, "God can do anything." The speaker emphasizes that believers should not underestimate God's power and should approach Him with every burden, praying until that burden is lifted, much like Jesus in Gethsemane or Paul with his thorn. He encourages the congregation to boldly approach God's throne because Jesus has made a way.

Bobby McDonald - God put a joy in my heart
Bobby McDonald · Oct 26, 2015 · 13m
The speaker discusses the joy found in the Lord, comparing it to the 'cup of Salvation' and the rest found in sleep. True joy in Christ is not fleeting like a good mood or material possession, but a constant source of rejuvenation that sustains us through difficult times. This joy should motivate us daily to count everything else as rubbish in comparison to the treasure of Christ, echoing the call to sell all things to gain the Kingdom.

The speaker explores the nature of joy, arguing that true joy is not circumstantial but rooted in abiding in God's love and knowing that one's ultimate possession is heavenly. He draws from Jesus' teachings and the endurance of early Christians through suffering to illustrate that this joy is found in the Father's presence. The message concludes by emphasizing the need for a genuine, heartfelt faith, exemplified by Gideon, rather than mere intellectual assent to scripture.

Jeremy Utley - Faith that Jesus can see
Jeremy Utley · Oct 25, 2015 · 12m
The central message is the importance of demonstrating a visible faith that Jesus can see, which is characterized by persistent crying out to God. The speaker draws parallels between the paralytic's faith, the widow's persistent pleas, and the need to proactively cry out to God, overcoming the fear of not being heard. Ultimately, true faith is built through the consistent practice of crying out, trusting in God's promise to answer.

Bobby McDonald - Dwell on God's promises
Bobby McDonald · Oct 19, 2015 · 7m
The central message is to intentionally dwell on God's promises rather than focusing on current difficulties or complaints. The speaker emphasizes that our minds should focus on what is true, honorable, right, pure, and lovely, drawing specific comfort from passages about the Lord's return. True hope, which allows for joy in all circumstances, is grounded solely in Christ's promises, not in temporary earthly blessings.

The speaker discusses the importance of vulnerability and openness in sharing struggles, drawing parallels between personal sin and the public humiliation of Christ on the cross. The message emphasizes that affliction is a gift from God that opens understanding, refining faith and building capacity for grace and compassion toward others who suffer. Ultimately, the goal is to deepen one's understanding of God's faithfulness through suffering.

Jeremy Utley - Rejoicing in weakness
Jeremy Utley · Oct 5, 2015 · 8m
The central message is that our weakness is not a deficit but rather the necessary condition for God's power and glory to be displayed. Drawing from Paul's writings, the speaker emphasizes that when we are weak, we are actually strong in Christ, allowing us to rejoice in our limitations. True faith involves not just accepting this truth intellectually, but actively expecting and praising God for His strength to manifest even before we fully see the fulfillment of His promises.

Bobby McDonald - God is our refuge
Bobby McDonald · Oct 5, 2015 · 8m
The central message is that Christians should find their ultimate joy, peace, and refuge only in God, not in worldly circumstances or achievements. The speaker emphasizes that God often withholds answers to earthly prayers to redirect our focus toward Him alone, encouraging a consistent, childlike conversation with God. True spiritual rest is found in continually returning to Him, as illustrated by the Psalms and the need to cast all cares upon Him.

The speaker discusses the glory of God, drawing from Jesus' actions at Cana, emphasizing that Jesus' desire was to please only the Father, not the people. The message extends to how God's love, even when manifesting as judgment (like in Zephaniah), ultimately serves the long-term good of freeing us from sin and idolatry. Furthermore, the speaker encourages believers to increase their faith, citing Abraham's example of growing stronger in faith even when God's promises were delayed.

Jeremy Utley - Praising God when we are powerless
Jeremy Utley · Sep 21, 2015 · 8m
The central message is that when we feel powerless, we should not fear because the battle belongs to God. Drawing from 2 Chronicles 20, the speaker emphasizes that true faith is demonstrated by approaching God with a spirit of desperation and humility, declaring victory through praise even before seeing it. This act of praising God in times of uncertainty proves that our focus remains entirely on Him.

Jeremy Utley - Recounting The Deeds Of The Lord
Jeremy Utley · Aug 24, 2015 · 8m
The central message is that when facing doubt or difficulty, believers should not rely on their feelings but instead actively recall and meditate on God's past faithfulness. The speaker emphasizes that this practice, exemplified by Psalm 77, should become a deliberate, ongoing habit—especially in parenting—by keeping a record of God's deeds to pass down a testimony of His goodness to future generations. This conscious recounting of God's works is presented as a vital spiritual discipline.

Wenhai Pan · Aug 23, 2015 · 4m 54s
The speaker emphasizes the critical importance of overcoming doubt and unbelief in one's relationship with God. Drawing from Mark 16:14, he notes that Jesus reproached the disciples not for abandoning him, but for their unbelief regarding the resurrection. The central message is that while wholeheartedness is valuable, Jesus desires both wholeheartedness and an absolute, rock-solid faith in Him.

Bobby McDonald - The Book of Romans - Sin, Mercy & Victory
Bobby McDonald · Aug 10, 2015 · 19m
The speaker summarizes the Book of Romans, stating that humanity is inherently sinful and hopeless, making God's justification through Jesus Christ the only hope. He emphasizes that believers should strive to live Christlike lives empowered by the Holy Spirit, build up the church, and love their enemies. Ultimately, the message centers on relying completely on God's mercy through faith in Jesus, rather than personal works.

Bobby McDonald - God's Word Is Our Need
Bobby McDonald · Aug 3, 2015 · 17m
The central message is that Christians must actively grasp and internalize God's Word to reflect Jesus. The speaker draws parallels from 2 Timothy 3 and the story of the magicians opposing Moses to warn against merely 'learning' about truth without truly grasping it. He emphasizes that Satan actively tries to steal God's Word, and therefore, one must approach scripture with desperate need and perseverance to receive the hope it offers.

The central message is that true peace and stability come from placing all expectations and needs solely on God, rather than on people. The speaker warns against trusting in mankind or expecting others to fulfill our needs, as this leads to disappointment and sin. By grounding our lives in God's unwavering love, we become immune to the emotional turmoil caused by the fluctuating opinions or actions of others.

The message emphasizes that true satisfaction and life flow only from Jesus, comparing worldly pursuits to drinking saltwater that only dehydrates. Drawing from the story of the woman at the well, the speaker argues that people often seek fulfillment in temporary things—like relationships or circumstances—but these cannot satisfy. Instead, believers must turn to Jesus, who offers the 'living water' that leads to eternal life.

Jeremy Utley - Colossians 1:23
Jeremy Utley · May 3, 2015 · 4m 3s
God desires that believers become holy, blameless, and beyond reproach, and the path to this involves continuing in faith and not being moved from hope. The speaker emphasizes that these concepts are not abstract but require active, persistent effort, comparing this necessary persistence to a child unrelentingly asking for what they want. True dependence on God means being helplessly persistent until He acts, trusting in His good will.

Bobby McDonald · Apr 19, 2015 · 29m
The sermon uses the stories of Jairus and the woman with the hemorrhage to emphasize the power of genuine faith. The central message is that believers must continue to believe in God's promises even when circumstances become impossible or when evidence suggests otherwise. The speaker stresses that faith acts as a conduit, allowing God's power to flow immediately, without needing evaluation or a back-and-forth process.
