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 · Jun 21, 2018 · 1h 2m

The central message is that Christians must live by the principles of Christ in every area of life, trusting that God will never test them beyond their ability. The speaker emphasizes that true belief means surrendering completely to God's will, even when facing difficult circumstances, and encourages believers to remain vigilant and hopeful as the end times approach.

The speaker emphasizes that the goal of Christians is to reflect Jesus by growing in personal purity and functioning corporately within the local church. He shares anecdotes illustrating the importance of fellowship and the need for a heart of gratitude, contrasting this with the danger of self-pity. The message concludes by focusing on the sin of unmercy, warning that a lack of mercy in our hearts reflects a depraved mind and that God calls us to emulate His boundless mercy.

Zac Poonen - Dying To Self And Entering Into Rest

Zac Poonen · Jun 6, 2018 · 1h 1m

The central message is that true joy and spiritual fullness come from dwelling continually in the Lord's presence, which requires personal accountability rather than blaming circumstances or others. The speaker emphasizes that Jesus' miracles served to teach that God can solve any problem, and believers should live with the conviction that nothing is too difficult for God to solve. By taking these spiritual truths seriously, one can move from a defeated life to one characterized by joy and reliance on God's constant provision.

Zac Poonen - Living By Every Word That God Speaks

Zac Poonen · Jun 6, 2018 · 1h 26m

The central message is that Christians must strive to be an exact reflection of Jesus by continually renewing their minds to think from God's perspective. This requires constant spiritual discipline, as illustrated by Jesus's obedience to the Father's will even when opportunities for ministry were present. Ultimately, this transformation involves presenting one's body and mind as living sacrifices to God, allowing the Holy Spirit to change one's thinking to align with God's good, acceptable, and perfect will.

The central message emphasizes that true Christian life requires profound brokenness before God, acknowledging that nothing is possible apart from Him. The speaker draws parallels from the loaves and fishes and Moses's inability to speak to illustrate that one must surrender everything and let God break their will. Furthermore, the sermon stresses the necessity of being quick to forgive others and quick to ask for forgiveness, mirroring Jesus washing the disciples' feet as an example of humble service.

Zac Poonen - What It Really Means To Worship God

Zac Poonen · May 23, 2018 · 1h 5m

True worship goes beyond merely avoiding sin; it requires offering one's very best and giving oneself completely to God, as exemplified by Abel. The speaker contrasts this with a system (Babylon) that emphasizes worldly goods and business principles, suggesting that true Christian life must reflect a complete dedication to God rather than just moral compliance. This dedication is necessary for God to regard our offerings, whether material or prayerful.

Bobby McDonald · May 15, 2018 · 19m

The speaker shares how his life with God transformed from a shallow understanding of faith to a deep appreciation for God's overflowing love, which is revealed through New Covenant truths. He emphasizes that true Christian life involves more than just avoiding sin; it requires a radical transformation of one's inner self and embracing the cross. Ultimately, he stresses that genuine church fellowship is impossible without each member actively carrying their cross.

8. Annie Poonen - Q & A Regarding Being A Mother

Annie Poonen · May 15, 2018 · 41m

The speaker discusses the challenges and joys of motherhood, comparing the energy of raising children to the freedom of having grandchildren. She shares that her biggest fears as a mother were causing her children to rebel or become hypocrites, and she managed this by praying for wisdom and maintaining unity with her husband. She concludes by emphasizing the need for personal salvation and self-care, noting that she had to work on her own spiritual life.

7. Zac Poonen - The Whole Purpose Of God

Zac Poonen · May 14, 2018 · 1h 1m

The central purpose of life for Christians is to become an exact reflection of Jesus, which is achieved both individually through personal purity and corporately within the local church. The speaker emphasizes that true obedience is tested not by keeping major commandments, but by diligently observing the smallest ones. He stresses that the Bible's purpose is to teach, reprove, correct, and train believers to be fully equipped for every good work.

6. Zac Poonen - Love That Does Not Seek One's Own

Zac Poonen · May 14, 2018 · 1h 4m

Divine love, as exemplified by a mother's selfless care for a newborn, is characterized by not seeking its own. The speaker argues that true love, whether in relationships or the exercise of spiritual gifts, must be selfless. The fullness of the Holy Spirit is evidenced by a deep, unwavering assurance of God's love poured into the heart, leading to contentment and eliminating complaining.

2. Zac Poonen - Fellowship With God Must Come First

Zac Poonen · May 14, 2018 · 1h 0m

The central message is that true Christian life must prioritize the vertical relationship with God (fellowship with God) above all else. The speaker distinguishes between mere 'friendship' within a group and genuine 'fellowship' with God, warning that focusing only on horizontal acts of service or community can be a deception if the vertical connection is neglected. Ultimately, the relationship with Jesus Christ is primary, and all other Christian activities flow from that foundation.

5. Zac Poonen - Security In God As Our Loving Father

Zac Poonen · May 14, 2018 · 1h 10m

The core message is that insecurity in one's relationship with God leads to conflict in horizontal relationships with others. True security comes from understanding that God is a loving Father, not a strict policeman, and that forgiveness is secured solely through the blood of Jesus, not through repeated confession or self-punishment. Repentance—a change of mind away from sin—is the necessary act, which, when sincere, requires only one confession.

3. Zac Poonen - The Way Of The Cross

Zac Poonen · May 13, 2018 · 51m

The central message is that true fellowship with God and with others requires embracing the 'way of the cross,' which means dying to one's own will. Just as Adam and Eve could not access the Tree of Life after sin, humanity must follow Christ's example of self-denial. This cross is necessary both for restoring fellowship with God and for maintaining right relationships with others.

4. Zac Poonen - Brokenness

Zac Poonen · May 13, 2018 · 57m

The speaker emphasizes that true Christian fellowship, symbolized by the breaking of bread, requires more than mere ritualistic obedience; it demands deep understanding. He argues that brokenness—the breaking of self-importance and ego—is crucial because it allows the power of God to be released, much like the loaves multiplied or the perfume was released. Ultimately, being broken is necessary to participate fully in the fellowship of Christ and to be used mightily by God.

1. Zac Poonen - The Two Great Mysteries

Zac Poonen · May 13, 2018 · 1h 4m

True understanding of God's mysteries comes not from mere study or intellect, but through the revelation of the Holy Spirit. The speaker emphasizes that humility is crucial, as pride prevents us from grasping God's deeper truths. He illustrates this by comparing Jesus' ultimate humility—washing the disciples' feet—to the nature of God the Father, suggesting that true discipleship mirrors this lowliness.

Zac Poonen - The New Covenant Leads Us To Love God Supremely

Zac Poonen · May 8, 2018 · 1h 11m

The central message is that the New Covenant shifts the focus from merely avoiding sin (a negative testimony) to actively demonstrating a positive, comprehensive love for God and neighbor. True Christian life, as exemplified by Elijah's positive testimony, requires a deep, conscious commitment to loving God with heart, soul, and mind, and loving neighbor as oneself, rather than simply listing what one refrains from doing.

Zac Poonen - The New Covenant Standard Is Attainable

Zac Poonen · May 7, 2018 · 1h 3m

The central message is that the New Covenant standard of Christian living is attainable through a passionate desire to reflect Jesus Christ. The speaker emphasizes that this standard requires more than mere knowledge of scripture; it demands a deep, consuming thirst for righteousness, similar to thirst in the desert. He argues that true discipleship involves striving to live up to the elevated standards set by Christ, rather than settling for the comfortable compromises of the Old Covenant or current cultural norms.

Zac Poonen - Some Essentials Of The New Covenant Life

Zac Poonen · May 2, 2018 · 53m

The speaker emphasizes that the core goal of Christians is to reflect Jesus by growing in personal purity and functioning within the local church. He discusses the profound justice demonstrated by God on the cross, noting that Jesus paid the infinite price for sin's eternal separation from God. Furthermore, he argues that true faith is not difficult to achieve, citing the example of the humble Roman centurion, whose faith was rooted in humility, which is the necessary counterpart to faith.

Jeremy Utley - Gather the Fragments of Time

Jeremy Utley · Apr 23, 2018 · 15m

The central message encourages believers to be diligent in gathering up every fragment of time, treating these small increments like seeds for the Kingdom. Drawing from John 6:12, the speaker argues that spiritual growth and reaping a harvest are dependent on how we use these small, overlooked moments, rather than just dedicating large blocks of time. He urges listeners to sow these fragments into God's promises rather than merely passing time permissibly.
