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 - Acquiring The Mind of Christ
Zac Poonen · Jul 26, 2021 · 43m
The central message is that Christians must strive to reflect Jesus by growing in personal purity and functioning within the local church. Drawing from parables, the speaker emphasizes that the key is not the quantity of spiritual gifts received, but the faithful percentage of effort applied to what is given. A major danger is having a 'one talent' gift and doing nothing with it, which stems from a misunderstanding of God as an overly demanding taskmaster.

The central message is that Christians are called to reflect Jesus by growing in personal purity and functioning within the local church. The speaker emphasizes that true faith requires trusting God's plan even when the outcome is unseen, drawing parallels to the anchor of hope found in scripture. He highlights that God is full of hope (Romans 15:13) and comfort (2 Corinthians 1), which are necessary for spiritual growth and perseverance.

The speaker discusses the goal of Christians to reflect Jesus by growing in personal purity and functioning corporately within the church. Drawing from John 17:26, he emphasizes that Jesus prayed for his disciples to know God's love as the Father loves Him. He shares practical ways to deepen this knowledge, suggesting enjoying God's love through worship songs and recognizing its supreme value over earthly possessions, citing the example of the Levites inheriting God instead of land.

Zac Poonen · Jun 7, 2021 · 20m
The central message is that every believer has a necessary function within the local Body of Christ, just as every joint in the human body is essential.

Zac Poonen - Our Calling As A Church
Zac Poonen · May 24, 2021 · 16m
The central calling for the church is to be an exact reflection of Jesus Christ, which requires both individual purity and functioning corporately. The message emphasizes that the primary focus must be on repentance—a complete turning away from sin toward God—and that the ultimate goal is to see Jesus more clearly. The speaker urges the congregation to prioritize this spiritual vision over earthly recognition or status.

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.

The speaker emphasizes that the Christian goal is to reflect Jesus by growing in personal purity and functioning corporately within the local church. A key challenge identified is the danger of distractions, particularly from modern technology, which dull the hearing of God's word. The message concludes by distinguishing between mere peace and true unity, arguing that God desires the deeper unity where the church functions together to glorify His name.

Zac Poonen - Be Thankful For The Way God Made You
Zac Poonen · Jan 25, 2021 · 30m
The central message is to be thankful for the unique way God has made each individual, resisting the temptation to compare oneself to others. Drawing from Psalm 73 and 1 Corinthians 12, the sermon emphasizes that every part of the body, no matter how visible or gifted, has a necessary and God-ordained function. True fulfillment comes from accepting one's unique role within the body of Christ rather than comparing oneself to others.

The speaker emphasizes that the goal of Christians is to reflect Jesus by growing in personal purity and functioning corporately within the local church. Drawing from Acts 16, he uses the concept of a 'born servant' to illustrate that true service means being completely bound to the Holy Spirit, like Paul was. He concludes that achieving peace in relationships and fellowship requires the individual to 'die for myself,' meaning surrendering personal will to God's direction.

The speaker shares reflections on maintaining spiritual focus amidst the distractions of married life and family.

The sermon emphasizes that the Christian life should not be a self-satisfied 'well' but a continuous 'river' of life flowing out to benefit others. Drawing from Ezekiel 47, the speaker illustrates this progression from a trickle to a life-giving river that brings freshness and sustenance. The core message is to move beyond self-pleasing stagnation and actively bear the weaknesses of others, reflecting Christ's love in one's family, community, and church.

The speaker emphasizes that the goal of Christians is to reflect Jesus by growing in personal purity and functioning corporately within the local church. Drawing from Jonah's experience, the message stresses the necessity of calling out to the Lord in distress and remembering Him amidst difficult times. The sermon also uses the story of Joshua and the Gibeonites to warn against making covenants or decisions based on short-term appearances rather than seeking God's counsel.

Santosh Poonen · Jun 8, 2020 · 43m
The speaker cautions against building a dwelling place for God using only human effort or mentality, referencing Acts 7:48. He argues that while Christians should strive to build their lives and church life according to the biblical pattern, these works can wither away if not sustained by God's presence. The core message is that true dwelling for God is not found in physical structures or mere adherence to rules, but in a deeper, abiding reality.

The sermon emphasizes that the ultimate goal for Christians is to reflect Jesus Christ, which requires personal purity and functioning within the local church. The speaker uses biblical examples, particularly Eve and Job's wife, to warn against wives taking over headship or failing to submit to God's authority, stressing that a wife's ultimate example of submission is following Christ's submission to the Father.

The central message is that Christians must strive to be a reflection of Jesus Christ both individually through purity and corporately within the local church. Drawing from the early church in Acts, the speaker emphasizes that even when meeting in different homes, believers remain one body in Christ. Partaking of the bread and cup should be done with deep remembrance of Christ's sacrifice, signifying a willingness to die with Him and take sin seriously.

Jeremy Utley - Joining Jesus In Interceding For The Church
Jeremy Utley · Mar 26, 2020 · 13m
The central message is that Christians must balance receiving rest in Jesus Christ with actively interceding for the church until it is fully established in purity and completeness. Drawing from Isaiah 62 and Colossians 1, the speaker argues that while we are called to come to Jesus when weary, we are also commanded to take no rest in interceding for our brothers and sisters. This requires a passionate commitment to seeing the church established in Christ.

The central message emphasizes that the goal of Christians is to reflect Jesus by growing in personal purity and functioning corporately within the local church. The speakers repeatedly draw on the concept of 'the secret of the Lord,' which is reserved for those who fear God. Practically, fearing the Lord means hating evil, treating small sins with the same urgency as discarding dirty diapers, and ultimately finding intimacy with God through Christ.

The central message is that Christians should strive to be a reflection of Jesus by growing in personal purity and functioning as fully contributing members of the local church. The speaker emphasizes that instead of competing, believers must recognize their unique function within the body of Christ and work in harmony with others, trusting that God, the Potter, knows what is best for each member. Ultimately, worth is determined not by function, but by faithfully responding to the grace and measure of faith God has allotted.
