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.

Bobby McDonald - The Lord Strengthens Us
Bobby McDonald · Feb 24, 2017 · 13m
The speaker emphasizes that while the physical body naturally declines, the Holy Spirit works in the inner person, leading to spiritual growth. True strength isn't about removing life's difficulties, but about developing the capacity to bear greater weight and overcome temptations through the Spirit's power. This process pushes believers toward greater maturity and Christ-likeness.

The speaker encourages the congregation to cultivate an unlimited faith in God, comparing it to having a large vessel rather than just a small bucket. He emphasizes that this faith should not be limited to worldly achievements but should instead be a space for God to work in our hearts and through us. The message concludes with a call to live lives of purpose, confessing beliefs, and trusting the guidance of the Holy Spirit in all aspects of life.

Jeremy Utley - He Will Baptize You With Fire
Jeremy Utley · Feb 9, 2017 · 16m
The speaker interprets Matthew 3:11's promise that Jesus will baptize with the Holy Spirit and Fire, focusing on the fire as a purifying element. He explains that this purifying fire comes through trials and difficulties, which God uses to remove impurities and make believers more like Christ. Therefore, believers should not be surprised by hardship, viewing it instead as a fulfillment of God's promise to refine them.

Jeremy Utley - Obey Without Delay
Jeremy Utley · Jan 19, 2017 · 11m
The central message is the urgent need for immediate obedience to God's commands, emphasizing that delay is dangerous. Drawing from the Israelites' grumbling in the wilderness, the speaker warns against postponing obedience, noting that conviction from the Holy Spirit requires an immediate response. True obedience involves actively filling the void left by sin or wrong attitudes with positive action, rather than just eliminating the negative behavior.

Bobby McDonald - A Special Love
Bobby McDonald · Nov 28, 2016 · 7m
The central message is that God's love for humanity is infinitely greater than any human relationship, using covenants like marriage as mere symbols. The speaker emphasizes that God's love is so personal that He treats each individual as if they were the only one, which is why He forbids polygamy. Ultimately, understanding this boundless love requires not just study, but a revelation from the Holy Spirit, as it surpasses human comprehension.

Jeremy Utley - Christians Aren't Exempt From Trials, But We Are Promised Victory
Jeremy Utley · Nov 21, 2016 · 8m
The central message is that Christians are not exempt from trials, distress, or persecution. Instead, the promise is that through these difficulties, believers can overwhelmingly conquer by the power of the Holy Spirit. Difficulties are not obstacles to the life of Christ in us, but rather the very path through which His life is manifested, leading to spiritual abundance and a powerful testimony.

Jeremy Utley - Our Obligation To The Spirit
Jeremy Utley · Nov 14, 2016 · 15m
The central message is that Christians are obligated not to the desires of the flesh, but to the Spirit. This freedom from the flesh's demands allows believers to fulfill their obligation to the Spirit, which involves making war spiritually. The speaker identifies prayer and fasting as two indispensable spiritual weapons for this spiritual warfare.

Bobby McDonald - It May Not Be Easy, But He Has Guaranteed Us The Victory
Bobby McDonald · Nov 7, 2016 · 10m
The central message is that Christians have guaranteed victory through Christ's authority, which is empowered by the Holy Spirit. The speaker emphasizes that while God provides the power to overcome sin and temptation, He does not promise that the process will be easy; rather, the struggle is necessary for believers to learn dependence on Him through prayer and His Word. The ultimate goal is to participate actively with Christ in the spiritual battle against the devil.

The speaker encourages listeners to view discipleship not as a single commitment, but as a continuous process of counting the cost daily, much like building a tower. He emphasizes that true Christian living requires constant vigilance against personal temptations and the devil's schemes. Furthermore, the message highlights that fulfilling God's blessing (like the promise to Abraham) requires the gift of the Holy Spirit to be a blessing to others, starting with the immediate community.

Jeremy Utley - Three Things A Christian Should Seek Every Single Day
Jeremy Utley · Aug 22, 2016 · 15m
The speaker advises that Christian life is a daily walk, not defined by milestones, and outlines three daily pursuits: seeking to hear God's voice, seeking to be filled with the Holy Spirit, and seeking to respond to God's voice and the Holy Spirit. Hearing God's word daily, seeing God's purpose in the present day, and persistently asking for the Holy Spirit are key practices for spiritual growth.

Bobby McDonald - Growing In Passion For God And Overcoming Lukewarmness
Bobby McDonald · Aug 15, 2016 · 28m
The speaker advises that maintaining passion for God is not a one-time fix but a daily pursuit requiring consistent effort, much like physical health. He cautions against confusing emotional highs with genuine devotion, emphasizing that true spiritual life comes from seeking God daily through the Holy Spirit, not just through intense feelings. Ultimately, believers should focus on doing their best with what they have, resisting Satan's accusations of inadequacy by serving the Lord cheerfully.

Bobby McDonald - Tangible Evidence Of The Holy Spirit Within Us
Bobby McDonald · Jul 11, 2016 · 8m
The tangible evidence of the Holy Spirit's work is demonstrated by a growing hatred for sin and a love for what God loves. Drawing from the New Covenant, the Spirit writes God's desires on the heart, making believers naturally desire goodness and reject evil. This process is described as moving 'from glory to glory,' proving God is working in us even when we cannot see the progress.

7. Question Answer Session Part-2 By Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jun 26, 2016 · 50m
The speaker emphasizes that all Christians are tempted in the same ways, stemming from the root desire to do one's own will, and overcoming these temptations requires following Jesus' example through the power of the Holy Spirit and prayer. He advises that spiritual growth is a progressive process, like moving through academic levels, and when discussing sensitive topics like gossip, one must always examine their motive to ensure the discussion is for a good purpose, such as protecting others, rather than tearing them down.

Jeremy Utley - The Wonder Of Life With Jesus
Jeremy Utley · Jan 31, 2016 · 10m
The central message is that a life with Jesus should be characterized by a constant sense of wonder and amazement, which should now be focused on what God is doing in and through the Church by the power of the Holy Spirit. The speaker suggests that this amazement should extend beyond outward miracles to include inward spiritual realities, such as the revelation of God's love, freedom from sin's power, the ability to partake of divine nature, and growing unity within the church.

Jeremy Utley - Being Jesus's Witnesses
Jeremy Utley · Jan 26, 2016 · 9m
Being Jesus's witness means seeing Him as a living, risen Lord, not merely as a historical figure. This requires understanding that 'witnessing' is distinct from 'testifying.' The speaker emphasizes that the Holy Spirit provides the power to see Jesus as alive in the present, enabling believers to genuinely experience and point to His ongoing presence in their lives.

The message emphasizes that Christian power comes from the Holy Spirit, enabling believers to be witnesses of God's love. This spiritual strength allows individuals to grow inwardly, deepening their knowledge of God's love, which in turn empowers them to love and share God's love with others. The speaker also stresses the importance of actively encouraging family and church members to live out virtues like compassion, kindness, and perseverance.

The speaker draws parallels between the physical properties of salt and water creating electricity and the spiritual life. He explains that while salt alone has no power, when united with the 'living water' (Jesus/Holy Spirit), it gains the ability to conduct power, enabling believers to witness for Christ. Additionally, the speaker reflects on Psalm 16, emphasizing that true joy and delight must remain fixed on God, not on earthly blessings, and stresses valuing fellow believers as the 'majestic ones.'

Bobby McDonald - Faith that God is merciful
Bobby McDonald · Nov 2, 2015 · 9m
The speaker advises believers to approach life decisions with faith, remembering that God is in control and we should not plan too far ahead or base choices on fear. True faith involves submitting our plans to God's will and trusting in His mercy, rather than questioning His power or goodness. The core message emphasizes having full confidence not only in God's power but also in His merciful nature.

Jeremy Utley - Obedience is the way to abide in His love
Jeremy Utley · Sep 29, 2015 · 9m
The central message is that true motivation for obedience to Christ should stem not from a desire to prove one's own love, but from the desire to know God's infinite love more deeply. Jesus promises that keeping His commandments will cause us to abide in His love. The speaker emphasizes that this abiding love is confirmed by the Holy Spirit and that obedience provides an opportunity for God to lavish His love upon us.

Bobby McDonald - Doing everything vs. listening to the Spirit
Bobby McDonald · Sep 20, 2015 · 8m
The central message is that Christian life requires actively listening to the Holy Spirit rather than trying to accomplish everything through personal effort. The speaker uses the analogy of a piano player to illustrate that believers only need to focus on their individual role, connected to the 'head' (Christ/God), rather than trying to manage every need within the church. True service comes from submission to God's specific leading, which is more productive than self-directed effort.

The speaker emphasizes that Christian growth requires active 'pruning' to bear more fruit, which necessitates complete surrender to the Holy Spirit. This surrender means giving up personal control and allowing the Spirit to use one's body and life fully. True peace and rest are not derived from external circumstances but from choosing to come to Jesus and taking up His yoke.

Bobby McDonald - The Book of Romans - Sin, Mercy & Victory
Bobby McDonald · Aug 10, 2015 · 19m
The speaker summarizes the Book of Romans, stating that humanity is inherently sinful and hopeless, making God's justification through Jesus Christ the only hope. He emphasizes that believers should strive to live Christlike lives empowered by the Holy Spirit, build up the church, and love their enemies. Ultimately, the message centers on relying completely on God's mercy through faith in Jesus, rather than personal works.

Jeremy Utley - Repentance without Regret
Jeremy Utley · Jul 19, 2015 · 8m
The sermon explores the concept of 'repentance without regret,' drawing from 2 Corinthians 7, which teaches that sorrow according to God's will produces repentance that does not lead to regret. The speaker emphasizes that sin's revelation is necessary for repentance, and the true measure of handling sin is not the sin itself, but the subsequent response—taking it seriously and coming to God. Furthermore, the message advises that gentleness must be practiced by remembering God's own kindness toward us and by actively seeking the Holy Spirit's help in every interaction.

Jeremy Utley - Colossians 1:9-29
Jeremy Utley · Jul 19, 2015 · 3m 42s
Paul's ministry, as described in Colossians, involved both public proclamation and private, unceasing prayer for the church. The speaker draws a parallel with Ezekiel's vision of the dry bones, emphasizing that prophecy alone does not bring life; the movement of the Spirit through prayer is essential. Therefore, the goal for the church should be to balance public ministry with diligent private prayer for the Holy Spirit to bring life.
