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.

Jeremy Utley - The Greatest Miracle
Jeremy Utley · May 18, 2021 · 28m
The speaker reviews several miracles performed by Jesus, such as casting out demons, healing the sick, and miraculous catches. However, he concludes that the greatest miracle is not a physical healing or provision, but rather the simple call to discipleship, exemplified by Jesus calling Levi to follow him. He urges the audience to treasure the calling to be a disciple above all other potential miracles.

Zac Poonen - What The Lord Expects From His Disciples
Zac Poonen · May 17, 2021 · 24m
To be a true disciple, one must be willing to sacrifice what is precious to them when following Jesus, as illustrated by examples where disciples were called to give up prior commitments. The core message emphasizes that discipleship requires immediate obedience to the Lord's call, without delaying it with personal priorities or plans. Ultimately, true discipleship is defined by doing the will of God, which requires denying one's own will.

Jeremy Utley - Turn Cares Into Prayers
Jeremy Utley · May 12, 2021 · 7m
The central message is that casting our cares upon the Lord is a profound act of humility, which in turn helps us remain sober-minded and resist spiritual attack. The speaker draws from 1 Peter 5:6, emphasizing that we humble ourselves under God's mighty hand by entrusting our anxieties to Him. This practice is presented not only as a means of humility but also as a way to be spiritually alert and receive God's perfecting, confirming, strengthening, and establishing grace.

The central goal for Christians is to become an exact reflection of Jesus Christ. This transformation is achieved both individually through cultivating purity in one's personal life and corporately by actively participating as fully functioning members within the local church.

Zac Poonen - Examples To Follow: Mary as a Mother and Jesus as a Child
Zac Poonen · May 10, 2021 · 28m
Jesus summarized the Ten Commandments into two great commandments: loving God with all your heart, soul, and mind, and loving your neighbor as yourself. The speaker emphasizes that true love for God must supersede all other loves, including that for parents, comparing it to the sun's light compared to the stars. Ultimately, a pure heart is one that belongs entirely to God, which is the prerequisite for properly loving one's neighbor.

Jeremy Utley - Fight to Keep a Good Conscience
Jeremy Utley · May 5, 2021 · 16m
The central message is the critical importance of maintaining a clean conscience, which is a unique privilege of the new covenant. The speaker warns that neglecting this leads to a vicious cycle where guilt distances one from God, making one powerless against temptation. To break this cycle, one must deliberately confess sin, relying on God's promise in 1 John 1:9, and when in doubt, one should confess the burden to find freedom and assurance.

Bobby McDonald - Yes, Daddy
Bobby McDonald · May 4, 2021 · 18m
The speaker emphasizes that the Christian goal is to reflect Jesus' perfect obedience and surrender in all areas of life. He uses Jesus' life, from childhood obedience to his ultimate sacrifice, to illustrate this point, contrasting it with his own lack of consistent surrender. The message encourages immediate, cheerful obedience to the Holy Spirit and to earthly authorities, viewing submission to these structures as an act of obedience to God.

Zac Poonen - Fellowship in Jesus' Body and Blood
Zac Poonen · May 3, 2021 · 11m
The sermon emphasizes that Christian fellowship is a deep reality, not merely a ritual, as seen in the breaking of bread. True fellowship requires believers to reflect Jesus' life by dying to their own self-will and carrying the 'dying of Jesus' daily, which is a process empowered by the Holy Spirit. This surrender eliminates inward demands on others, allowing for genuine bearing with one another and manifesting the life of Christ for God's glory.

Zac Poonen - The Most-Repeated Statement of Jesus
Zac Poonen · May 3, 2021 · 18m
The most repeated statement of Jesus in the Gospels is that whoever loses their life for His sake will find it. The speaker emphasizes that true Christian life requires more than just self-improvement or appearing godly; it demands a willingness to be despised and rejected for Christ. Ultimately, all actions, even mundane ones, must be done for the glory of God, which requires a profound brokenness, exemplified by Jacob wrestling with God.

Zac Poonen · Apr 26, 2021 · 46m
The central message warns believers against becoming arrogant teachers or spreading gossip, cautioning that such behavior can lead to stricter judgment. The speaker emphasizes that true spiritual maturity involves humility, recognizing one's limitations, and speaking carefully, especially regarding ministry gifts and personal speech.

Bobby McDonald · Apr 24, 2021 · 9m
The speaker reflects on how meditating on God's kindness and loving nature has profoundly changed his life.

Jeremy Utley - Called to Deeper Devotion to Jesus Christ
Jeremy Utley · Apr 21, 2021 · 22m
True devotion to Jesus Christ goes beyond mere sentimental attachment or enjoyment of His presence. The speaker uses the account of Peter fishing on the shore to illustrate that devotion must manifest as obedience to Christ's calling, shifting from being a fisherman to a shepherd. Ultimately, true devotion involves prioritizing Christ's will and purpose above personal desires or comfort.

The speaker shares three key areas of encouragement from the Lord: maintaining trust despite setbacks, remembering to look to heaven during difficulties, and guarding one's thoughts. He uses the example of the Israelites at the Red Sea to illustrate trusting God's faithfulness publicly, even when circumstances are challenging. He also warns against allowing the worries of the world and the deceitfulness of riches to choke spiritual growth, emphasizing the need to guard one's mind.

Jeremy Utley - Two Questions That Changed My Life
Jeremy Utley · Apr 20, 2021 · 20m
The speaker shares two life-changing questions, focusing on the profound impact of asking, "What do you think God thinks of you?" He emphasizes that even with a good upbringing and knowledge of scripture, one can become discouraged or lose sight of God's kindness. The central message is to remain watchful and continually view God through the lens of His sweetness, mercy, and grace, rather than allowing our own expectations or perceived failures to create a hardened view of Him.

Zac Poonen · Apr 19, 2021 · 43m
True eternal life, according to Jesus, is not measured by the length of life but by the quality of knowing God. The speaker emphasizes that believers must understand both God's kindness and His severity, avoiding extremes in their understanding. Ultimately, living by faith—trusting God's word and provision—is the antidote to fear and anxiety.

Jeremy Utley - Expect God's Help in My Secular Work
Jeremy Utley · Apr 14, 2021 · 11m
The central message is that Christian work, even secular employment, has eternal significance if done correctly. To earn reward from the Lord, one must serve with a good attitude—characterized by friendly, helpful, and cooperative feelings—and with the motive of pleasing God, not people. Furthermore, the speaker emphasizes that spiritual battles in the workplace are internal, against self-will and selfishness, requiring the strength of the full armor of God.

The central message is that Christians must strive to be reflections of Jesus Christ, which requires personal purity and functioning within the local church. The speaker outlines three ways to build a godly home: being an encourager to every member, serving the family by discerning and filling needs, and leading by example. Furthermore, one must act as a watchman, diligently interceding for the family against internal sins and compromise, while always remembering that the Lord must build the house.

Zac Poonen - Let Patience Be Perfected In You
Zac Poonen · Apr 12, 2021 · 31m
The central message is that Christian life requires not only faith but also patience to fully inherit God's promises. The speaker uses examples from Abraham, Noah, Joseph, and David to illustrate that waiting through trials and remaining faithful during times of comfort are crucial for spiritual maturity. He warns that the greatest danger to the Christian life is not during times of struggle, but when things become comfortable.
