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.

12th January 2020 - The Root Of Sin & Of Salvation - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jan 12, 2020 · 1h 31m
The speaker argues that the root of all sin, tracing it to Ezekiel 28:17, is the phrase, "your heart was lifted up." This desire to exalt oneself and the resulting pride, which often stems from comparison, is the origin of all evil. True spiritual progress requires addressing this internal root of pride, rather than just managing external sinful behaviors.

18th November 2018 - Pursue Peace With All People - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Nov 18, 2018 · 2h 30m
The speaker argues that the New Testament pattern for church leadership, established by the Holy Spirit, involves appointing elders in groups of two or more, citing Acts 13 and 14 as evidence. He contends that the practice of single-person leadership, whether in a pastor or a single high priest, is unscriptural and a human tradition. True service, like the apostles, should be done without salary, relying on God's provision.
