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 & Bobby McDonald - Being Spiritually Prepared
Jeremy Utley · Dec 26, 2016 · 28m
The speaker emphasizes that Christian preparation involves both God's work in us and our personal effort. Drawing parallels from David being prepared as a shepherd, he argues that even seemingly menial tasks are perfect preparation for God's calling. Furthermore, he advises that preparation requires praying not just for present needs, but also for the future, using the disciples' inability to cast out a demon as an example of being ill-equipped.

The speaker encourages the audience to live as visible lights in a dark world by refusing to grumble or dispute, recognizing that God is watching our conduct. He emphasizes that true Christian effort requires more than just personal diligence; it necessitates asking God to work in our will and desire, as promised in the New Covenant. Ultimately, the message calls for actively praying for God to stir our hearts and give us the desire to do His will.

Jeremy Utley - How To Preserve A Desperate Heart
Jeremy Utley · Oct 17, 2016 · 28m
The central message is how to maintain a sense of neediness in one's spiritual life, which is crucial for spiritual growth. This is achieved by regularly entering God's presence, which reveals our own corruption, and by constantly comparing oneself to Jesus Christ. The speaker also highlights that receiving rest from Jesus involves a two-part transaction: bringing burdens to Him and then willingly taking His yoke to learn from Him.

Jeremy Utley - The Sin Of Needlessness
Jeremy Utley · Oct 10, 2016 · 32m
The speaker emphasizes that Christians must maintain a constant sense of needfulness, praying with urgency both in times of abundance and times of need. He draws parallels from Jesus's experience in Gethsemane, noting that spiritual willingness is insufficient without persistent prayer. Ultimately, feeling spiritually needy is a blessing that keeps one reliant on God, whereas assuming self-sufficiency leads to spiritual danger.

Furthermore, he encourages moving beyond praying from anxiety or fear to praying from a place of thanksgiving, which is a true sign of faith.

Jeremy Utley - Persisting In Opposition And In Abundance
Jeremy Utley · Sep 26, 2016 · 17m
Jesus defines the faith he hopes to find upon his return as one characterized by persistent, continual prayer and crying out to God day and night. The speaker illustrates this through the examples of the Syrophoenician woman and Bartimaeus, emphasizing that true faith endures opposition, remains humble despite rejection, and refuses to accept anything less than God's goodness.

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.

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.

The speaker emphasizes that the Christian goal is to reflect Jesus Christ, which requires both personal purity and functioning within the local church. Drawing from Hebrews 7:25, the message highlights Jesus's eternal intercession for believers, using the analogy of a courtroom where Jesus defends the speaker against accusations. The core takeaway is the need to practice mercy and forgiveness by praying for those who have wronged us, aligning with God's will rather than our own feelings.

Jeremy Utley · Jan 18, 2016 · 10m
Jesus often points out what we lack in order to guide us toward the living water and true knowledge of God.

Jeremy Utley - Three Lessons From A Difficulty
Jeremy Utley · Jan 12, 2016 · 13m
The speaker shares three lessons learned from a difficult week, beginning with the necessity of being attentive to hindrances in prayer, which can arise from holding back personal desires. He also cautions against misinterpreting God's promise of escape, clarifying that God delivers us from temptation, not necessarily from the difficulty itself. Finally, he emphasizes that avoiding conflict or difficulty means forfeiting the opportunity to overcome sin and grow.

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 reflects on finding reverence for God not in His sheer power, but in His personal care for individuals. Drawing parallels from Elijah's experience, the message emphasizes that true peace comes from completely trusting and resting in God. Ultimately, the speaker concludes that God's power is best accessed when one practices submission, choosing God's will over personal desires, which leads to freedom from anxiety and pride.

The central message is that finding peace and rest in life's burdens comes from consistently taking everything to the Lord in prayer. The speaker illustrates this with personal examples and biblical accounts, such as David strengthening himself in the Lord after great loss. True rest is found not only in prayer but also in the subsequent obedience to God's will, which releases the pressure of anxious thoughts.

The central message is the simple yet profound call to prayer, encapsulated by the phrase, "God can do anything."

Jeremy Utley · Oct 25, 2015 · 12m
The central message is the importance of demonstrating a visible faith that Jesus can see, which is characterized by persistent crying out to God. The speaker draws parallels between the paralytic's faith, the widow's persistent pleas, and the need to proactively cry out to God, overcoming the fear of not being heard. Ultimately, true faith is built through the consistent practice of crying out, trusting in God's promise to answer.

Bobby McDonald - God is our refuge
Bobby McDonald · Oct 5, 2015 · 8m
The central message is that Christians should find their ultimate joy, peace, and refuge only in God, not in worldly circumstances or achievements. The speaker emphasizes that God often withholds answers to earthly prayers to redirect our focus toward Him alone, encouraging a consistent, childlike conversation with God. True spiritual rest is found in continually returning to Him, as illustrated by the Psalms and the need to cast all cares upon Him.
