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.

Zac Poonen - Being a Testimony to Satan about God's goodness
Zac Poonen · Nov 15, 2021 · 21m
The central message is that Christians must strive to be consistent witnesses of Christ's life in all areas, even when no one is watching. The speaker emphasizes that this deep witness is even required toward 'satanic powers,' suggesting a constant demonstration of Christ's life. He concludes by advising believers to find a balance in understanding God's nature—neither superficial happiness nor constant guilt—but rather recognizing God as a loving Father who guides us toward perfection.

Zac Poonen - God's Power Can Be Manifested Only When We Are Weak
Zac Poonen · Nov 9, 2021 · 18m
The central message is that God's power is most evident when believers embrace weakness, echoing Paul's declaration, "For when I am weak, then I am strong." The speaker emphasizes that true spiritual progress is marked by desiring less personal honor and instead seeking only the glorification of Jesus Christ. He uses examples from the body of Christ and the historical accounts of Gideon to illustrate that God often works through seemingly small or weak means.

Jeremy Utley - The Snare of Honor-Seeking in the Church
Jeremy Utley · Nov 8, 2021 · 21m
The central message warns against the danger of seeking or receiving glory from other people, arguing that this desire acts as a barrier to true faith. Drawing parallels from John 5 and Judges 7, the speaker emphasizes that true faith requires seeking glory only from the one and only God, as any acknowledgment of human appreciation can lead to spiritual downfall.

The speaker shares his personal journey of coming to know Jesus, moving from mere ritual observance to a deep, intimate understanding of Christ's life, suffering, and grace. He emphasizes that following Jesus requires continuous growth in knowing Him, obedience, and recognizing that his life has radically changed him from a state of darkness to one of joy and purpose.

Jeremy Utley - God Isn't Looking for Ability; He Is Looking for Availability
Jeremy Utley · Nov 3, 2021 · 14m
The central message is that God is not looking for our ability, but for our availability. The speaker uses examples from the Bible—the widow of Zarephath, Sarah, and the people giving offerings—to illustrate that God uses those who are willing to be available, even when they feel destitute or incapable. The key takeaway is to focus on willingness and trust in God's promises rather than personal limitations.

Zac Poonen - Have The Same Ambition On Earth As You Will Have In Heaven
Zac Poonen · Nov 2, 2021 · 42m
The central message is that Christian ambition must mirror the desire to please God, not to impress people with knowledge or ministry success. The speaker emphasizes that true understanding of the New Covenant moves beyond mere intellectual knowledge (the 'holy place') into the spirit, where God dwells. Ultimately, one's deepest ambition should be to live in a way that earns the affirmation, "I'm well pleased with you," from the Father.

Jeremy Utley - Desire to Prophecy In A Way That Honors God
Jeremy Utley · Oct 27, 2021 · 18m
To prophesy in a God-honoring way, one must be motivated by a self-forgetful love for the Lord and one's brothers, rather than personal honor. Furthermore, prophecy must be rooted in faith, not mere ideas, and should be delivered with a spirit of fear and reverence. The ultimate goal is to proclaim Christ crucified, relying on the Spirit's power rather than human wisdom.

The central message is that the goal of the Christian life is to become an exact reflection of Jesus, which requires both personal purity and active participation in the local church. The speaker emphasizes that this transformation is not achieved by self-effort but through complete dependence on Christ's grace, drawing on verses like John 8:11, Matthew 11:28-30, and John 15:5 to illustrate the need for continuous surrender to Him.

The speaker encourages the congregation by focusing on the memory verse, 1 John 3:22, which states that we receive what we ask because we keep God's commandments. The message emphasizes that true obedience is not about perfection, but about maintaining a right attitude—holding fast to God's word and commandments, even when difficult. Ultimately, the goal is to live with a contrite heart, trusting that God will strengthen us to do His will.

The speaker encourages the congregation to appreciate the simplicity of receiving forgiveness through confession, contrasting it with the complex sacrificial rituals of the Old Testament.

Jeremy Utley - How God Works In The One Who Fails
Jeremy Utley · Oct 4, 2021 · 23m
The sermon uses Peter's repeated failures in the Garden of Gethsemane to illustrate how God works with imperfect people. Jesus repeatedly brings Peter into situations where he fails, first by asking him to keep watch, and later by finding him asleep again. The central message is that God's purpose in our lives is to lead us into circumstances that reveal our own inability, stripping away our self-reliance and insistence on our own ability, leaving us speechless and dependent on Him.

Jeremy Utley - Triumph Over Dread In Joyful Fear
Jeremy Utley · Sep 29, 2021 · 16m
The central message is that joyful fear, a reverent hope, is the antidote to dread, which is the opposite of this holy fear. To overcome dread—which manifests as fear of sin or life's challenges—one must remember God's past faithfulness (what He did to Pharaoh) and trust in His present promise. Furthermore, believers must embrace the reality that God leads them into victory and the promised life 'little by little' for their protection.

Bobby McDonald - The Wisest One on Earth is the One Who Fears God
Bobby McDonald · Sep 27, 2021 · 21m
The central message is that the beginning of true wisdom and knowledge is the fear of the Lord, as stated in Proverbs 9:10. This fear is not merely intellectual understanding but a deep reverence that leads to immediate action and a desire to turn away from sin. True change requires more than just feeling bad about sin; it demands a new intention and action plan guided by the Holy Spirit.

The central message emphasizes that true wisdom comes from the fear of the Lord, contrasting it with the world's reliance on degrees or money. The speaker draws from scripture, noting that God's wisdom surpasses human understanding, and uses the example of the church in Ephesus burning their magical books to illustrate that giving up earthly wisdom is necessary to receive heavenly wisdom. This process requires deep humility.
