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 Christian's Hope For What The New Year Will Bring
Jeremy Utley · Jan 9, 2019 · 19m
The central message is that a Christian's hope should not be fixed on a specific future date, but rather on the continuous grace received every time they turn to the Lord through the Holy Spirit. Drawing from 1 Peter 1:13 and 2 Corinthians 3, the speaker emphasizes that this hope is about ongoing transformation into Christ's image, requiring believers to actively guard their focus against drifting desires. True Christian hope is therefore an active commitment to seeking revelation and grace moment by moment.

Bobby McDonald - Discouragement Hinders Our Relationship With God And Our Fight Against Sin
Bobby McDonald · Jan 9, 2019 · 9m
The central message is that discouragement, particularly over sin, hinders both one's relationship with God and the fight against sin. Drawing from a story about a son who felt guilty despite his father's unconditional love, the speaker emphasizes that believers must combat unbelief by remembering God's grace and trusting in His help. True fellowship with God requires faith, not self-condemnation, and believers should strive to bring joy and a positive spirit into their relationships.

The message emphasizes that the goal of Christians is to reflect Jesus Christ both individually through purity and corporately within the local church. The speaker draws encouragement from Philippians 1:6, asserting that God has the power to perfect the work He started in us, regardless of circumstances. Ultimately, believers must place their complete confidence in Christ's work, even when facing suffering, and learn to rejoice in the Lord.

Bobby McDonald - Knowing that God is our Father vs Revelation that God is our Father
Bobby McDonald · Dec 28, 2018 · 21m
The central message is that true freedom from fear comes from deeply knowing and experiencing God as our Father. The speaker uses the Prodigal Son narrative to illustrate that acceptance is based on God's unconditional love, not on our perfect feelings of guilt or repentance. Furthermore, he argues that even Jesus had to grasp the truth of God the Father by faith, suggesting that our own faith must similarly anchor us against doubt and anxiety.

Jeremy Utley - Deliverance from Selfish Christianity
Jeremy Utley · Dec 18, 2018 · 29m
The central message is a warning against 'selfish Christianity,' where spiritual pursuits are focused solely on personal enjoyment and attainment rather than sharing God's blessings with others. The speaker draws from Isaiah 58 to argue that true devotion involves a longing to share what God has already enjoyed, contrasting this with the danger of self-satisfaction, as seen in Jonah and the parable of the lost son. The ultimate calling is to prioritize others' needs, even at personal cost, as exemplified by Christ's sacrifice.

The central message is that Christians must strive to be an exact reflection of Jesus, which requires both personal purity and active participation in the local church. The speaker emphasizes that approaching God requires a 'broken spirit' and a desire for sacrifice, rather than just bringing material offerings. Ultimately, believers are called to 'arise and shine' with the light of God's glory, which is only visible when sin is confessed and repented of.

The message emphasizes that the Christian life requires striving to overcome, drawing encouragement from the image of a struggling snail reaching an ark. The speaker notes that God notices even the smallest efforts, and this principle applies to overcoming life's challenges, as exemplified by the speaker's anticipation of fatherhood. Ultimately, the core message is that true protection and life come not from self-sufficiency (like the turtle's shell) but from returning into the Father's embrace and fellowship.

Bobby McDonald - Today Is the Day of Salvation
Bobby McDonald · Dec 4, 2018 · 15m
The central message emphasizes the urgency of seeking the Lord while He is near, drawing from Isaiah 55 and Matthew 7. The speaker argues that neglecting God's presence, even amidst busyness, is akin to forgetting one's first love. True happiness and peace come from fearing God and walking in His ways, which leads to a joyful repentance and acceptance of God's will, regardless of current circumstances.

The message emphasizes that the primary focus in Christian life must be meeting the Lord, as all other activities are secondary. Drawing from scripture, the speaker stresses the necessity of spiritual thirst for God's word and highlights the profound expectation of forgiveness. Christians, having been forgiven immeasurably by God, are expected to extend that same mercy to others.

The message centers on the Christian goal of reflecting Jesus by growing in personal purity and functioning corporately within the local church. The speaker draws encouragement from Isaiah 25:8, interpreting the swallowing up of death as the end of sin's separation from God. Furthermore, the sermon emphasizes the importance of bold and sincere prayer, citing parables and scripture to encourage believers to pray with confidence based on Christ's sacrifice and God's will.

Jeremy Utley - Comfort In The Midst Of Conviction
Jeremy Utley · Dec 2, 2018 · 23m
The speaker shares how the Lord comforted him during a period of deep conviction, drawing parallels from Ezekiel 16 and Ezekiel 43. He emphasizes that a key mark of entering the new covenant is a sense of shame regarding one's iniquities. Furthermore, he points to 2 Corinthians 7, noting that God's desire is not merely sorrow, but rather that sorrow leads to radical repentance, which prevents spiritual loss.

The speaker emphasizes the urgency of seeking God while He is near, drawing lessons from Proverbs 1 and Isaiah 55. He warns that ignoring God's warnings leads to a point where seeking Him will be too late. The central message is that believers must actively seek and call upon the Lord *today*, not tomorrow, to avoid regret at the judgment seat of Christ. Furthermore, the speaker advises that when praise comes, one must redirect all attention to God, and when praise does not come, one must maintain a posture of readiness.

The central message is to avoid despising any person, whether in professional settings, among unbelievers, or within one's own home. The speaker draws lessons from scripture, emphasizing that God does not despise anyone, and that our attitude toward others reflects our understanding of God's great mercy. He urges believers to pray for others with the hope that God will use them for His greater purposes, rather than just praying for their salvation.

Bobby McDonald - Three Incomplete Prayers
Bobby McDonald · Nov 14, 2018 · 21m
The speaker discusses incomplete prayers, arguing that simply crying out for help is insufficient. He emphasizes that true prayer must include thanksgiving, acknowledging God's past and future faithfulness, as taught in Philippians 4. Furthermore, he stresses the necessity of repentance, noting that praying for help without confessing sin and acknowledging God's control is incomplete and dishonors Him.

Jeremy Utley - People Who Hasten The Lord's Return
Jeremy Utley · Nov 11, 2018 · 21m
The central message is that the Christian church is called to continually grow and surpass past levels of glory, striving to be a radiant, pure bride for Christ's return. Drawing from passages like Haggai 2 and 2 Peter 3, the speaker emphasizes that God's plan is for the church to be refined through trials, becoming a

The central message encourages believers to reflect Jesus by growing in personal purity and functioning corporately within the local church. The speaker emphasizes that true faith involves trusting God completely, even when circumstances are difficult, citing Proverbs 3:5-6. Demonstrating love for God requires more than just feeling; it must be shown through obedience to commandments and actively caring for God's people, the 'sheep.'

The central message is that Christians should strive to reflect Jesus by growing in personal purity and functioning within the local church. The speaker emphasizes the security found in knowing God as a Father, drawing from Romans 8:15. He encourages the audience to emulate the Father's character—being lavish in forgiveness, non-calculating in giving, and remembering every good deed—to grow in patience and selflessness.

The message emphasizes that God's immense love for us, proven by His calling us despite our backgrounds, should compel us to respond with selfless love to others. Instead of judging others' failures, we should adopt a posture of humility, asking, "Perhaps I am the problem." The speaker also draws a parallel to Haggai's message, urging believers not to become comfortable in their blessings but to maintain a burden for God's work.

The central message emphasizes that Christians must strive to reflect Jesus by growing in personal purity and functioning corporately within the local church. The speaker uses examples from John (Jesus's ministry to the Samaritan woman) and David (picking up stones) to illustrate that true ministry requires overcoming personal prejudices and focusing on God's will rather than worldly preferences. Furthermore, the sermon stresses the vital privilege of receiving, applying, and passing on God's Word of encouragement.

Bobby McDonald · Oct 18, 2018 · 9m
The central goal for Christians is to become an exact reflection of Jesus, which is achieved both individually through purity and corporately within the local church. This pursuit of holiness is not an end in itself, but rather the means to achieve oneness with God and with other believers. Striving against sin is presented as the necessary process, like physical therapy, that gradually changes us and makes it easier to deny our own will.

The speaker encourages the audience to view difficult people not as the source of the problem, but as an opportunity to improve their own conduct, drawing from Hebrews 3. He emphasizes that true Christian growth involves seeing oneself as part of the issue and actively sowing kindness and encouragement rather than criticism. The message concludes by highlighting God's masterful ability to encourage and love us through various means, using examples from Zerubbabel and Jesus' intercession.

Jeremy Utley - Do You Want To Be Well?
Jeremy Utley · Oct 12, 2018 · 17m
The sermon uses the story of the man at the pool of Bethesda to illustrate that Jesus's primary question to us is, "Do you want to be well?" This question challenges us to examine whether our prolonged struggles or afflictions have caused us to lose hope in God's power to heal and restore. Ultimately, God desires to know if we still believe in His promises, even when our experiences suggest otherwise.

The speaker uses the account of Moses's desire to be with God rather than entering the Promised Land to illustrate that the ultimate priority for a Christian should be knowing God's face. He argues that our service or desire to share faith should stem from a deep, personal longing for God Himself, rather than from external recognition or benefit. The core message is to seek to know God above all else.

Bobby McDonald - Perfect Love On Earth
Bobby McDonald · Oct 3, 2018 · 15m
The central message is that Christian life requires being a reflection of Jesus' perfect, self-giving love, which is the opposite of a 'give-me' mentality. The speaker emphasizes that Jesus exemplified this love by constantly giving himself for others, even to the end. He encourages listeners to fix their eyes on Jesus' life—his sympathy, gentleness, and willingness to serve—as the model for enduring life's difficulties.
