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 - How To Make The Most Of My Time On Earth
Jeremy Utley · Oct 31, 2016 · 19m
The message draws from Isaiah 62, comparing the church to Zion, which is called to shine brightly so the nations will see God's righteousness. The core exhortation is to adopt the attitude of a watchman, who must pray and cry out day and night until God establishes His purpose. This requires a devoted, persistent faith, much like Daniel, and maintaining the mindset of a soldier who is focused on the spiritual battle rather than being entangled in everyday concerns.

The speaker shares two testimonies: first, about God transforming his heart to respond to parenting challenges with patience and compassion, citing scripture promises of God's power to move mountains. Second, he compares spiritual warfare to being on a team, emphasizing that believers are united with God against the devil. He encourages the audience to remember they are fighting together as a team with their brothers and sisters in Christ.

Bobby McDonald - Emotions: Good Servants But Terrible Masters
Bobby McDonald · Jan 12, 2016 · 10m
The central message is that while emotions can be good servants, they become terrible masters when they contradict God's will. Drawing from Jesus's life, the speaker emphasizes that true discipleship requires actively rejecting feelings of self-pity, shame, and indulgence in worldly desires, just as Jesus did on the cross. This requires a conscious, hostile rejection of any inner inclination that pulls one away from God's purpose.

The message emphasizes that the Christian life requires becoming an exact reflection of Jesus, achieved through personal purity and functioning within the local church. Key themes include living by mercy and grace, which requires the power of the Holy Spirit. The speaker also addresses the necessity of enduring suffering as a testimony and encourages maintaining an eternal perspective of faith.

The central message revolves around the theme of 'thirst,' drawing parallels from the woman at the well and Jesus' promise of living water. The speaker emphasizes that recognizing spiritual thirst—often triggered by sin or temptation—is the first step toward receiving Christ's quenching grace. By actively praying into these areas of weakness, believers can choose an intimate, spiritually hydrated life over one of dehydration in old patterns.

The speaker urges listeners to shift their focus from earthly concerns to heavenly matters, drawing parallels between the complaining Israelites in the wilderness and modern complaints. He emphasizes that true spiritual maturity requires remembering God's past provisions and resisting the murmuring spirit. The message concludes with a warning against spiritual complacency, urging believers to remain vigilant to fulfill God's will and avoid being lukewarm.

Bobby McDonald - Colossians 1:29
Bobby McDonald · Jun 29, 2015 · 13m
The central message is that the Christian life is not built by human effort but by relying on what God has already provided in Christ. Drawing from Ephesians 6, the speaker details the 'full armor of God'—truth, righteousness, the gospel of peace, faith, salvation, and the Word of God—as essential tools for spiritual warfare. True strength comes from grasping these divine provisions rather than self-effort.

Bobby McDonald - Colossians 1:21
Bobby McDonald · Mar 29, 2015 · 7m
The central message is the necessity of actively taking every thought captive to the obedience of Christ to combat a mind set hostile toward God. The speaker emphasizes that true victory over temptation requires a proactive surrender—a pre-determined decision to yield one's will to God's desires, much like programming a safe system. This surrender, exemplified by watching and praying, allows believers to overcome temptations when they arise.

Jeremy Utley - Philippians 3:12-16
Jeremy Utley · Nov 17, 2014 · 5m
The central message is that Christians must maintain an attitude of pressing forward toward Christ, recognizing that spiritual growth is a lifelong pursuit, even after significant achievements. Paul's example shows that even when one has attained much, one must continue pressing on toward the upward call of God. This pursuit requires resisting complacency and embracing God's correction as an act of love, which necessitates renewing the mind.

The speaker reflects on the challenge of living in a way that testifies that the ruler of this world has nothing in the speaker. This requires going beyond merely confessing sin to seeking the root causes of sin, recognizing that even routine actions must be done for God's glory. Furthermore, the speaker emphasizes maintaining a constant sense of urgency, treating life as a spiritual battle rather than a comfortable routine, drawing a parallel to the necessity of heat in blacksmithing to shape metal.

The speaker emphasizes that the church built by Christ is indestructible by Satan, which requires strong, plural leadership rather than a one-man pastor system. He details that the church is meant to be a place of conflict and spiritual battle, requiring believers to proclaim Jesus' lordship to overcome opposition. Furthermore, the speaker stresses that discipline, as taught in Matthew 18, is a loving process aimed at winning a brother back, and if all else fails, the brother must be treated like an unbeliever.

Zac Poonen - The Authority of Christ in the Church
Zac Poonen · Nov 6, 2013 · 54m
The sermon emphasizes that the Church is the body of Christ, meant to continue the ministry Jesus fulfilled. True spiritual authority comes from having one's will broken to God's will, exemplified by Jesus at the cross. This authority is not over people, but over sin and the forces of evil, requiring believers to live in a way that leaves no foothold for the devil.
