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.

21st January 2018 - Jesus Should Be The Glory In Our Lives - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jan 21, 2018 · 1h 54m
The message centers on the profound lesson from Matthew 18 regarding the desire to be great, contrasting the worldly desire for recognition within the church with the humility of a little child.

Zac Poonen · Jan 7, 2018 · 1h 33m
The message warns that in the last days, mockers will question the promise of Christ's return, suggesting that everything remains unchanged since creation.

Zac Poonen · Oct 2, 2017 · 1h 13m
The speaker emphasizes that a believer must actively claim every promise in the Bible, as unclaimed promises will not materialize. Regarding prayer, he warns that prayer is ineffective if one has unconfessed sin or unresolved grudges. Furthermore, he cautions against meaningless repetition in prayer, citing Matthew 6:7, and advises that prayer should stem from a genuine burden given by God.

Bangalore Conference - 2017 - Session 8
Zac Poonen · Oct 1, 2017 · 1h 17m
The sermon outlines three foundational 'stories' for building the church, starting with the foundation: realizing God's perfect love for us, as exemplified by the Father's love for Jesus. The second story emphasizes maintaining a blameless conscience at one's current level of understanding, recognizing that others may not be at the same spiritual standard. The third story, drawn from Paul's defense, teaches that the true 'cult' is one that believes and serves God according to everything written in the Word.

Bangalore Conference - 2017 - Session 4
Zac Poonen · Oct 1, 2017 · 1h 13m
The central message revolves around the biblical principle that one cannot serve both God and money, citing Luke 16:13. The speaker urges the audience to be brutally honest with Scripture, recognizing that God's Word is a surgeon's knife meant to bring life, not death. True discipleship requires confronting uncomfortable truths about one's devotion, as neglecting this truth can lead to spiritual deception.

The speaker warns that a lack of genuine devotion, symbolized by bringing less than one's best, can stifle the fire and anointing of God's presence.

The Spirit of the Fear of the Lord - Zac Poonen (கர்த்தருக்கு பயப்படும் ஆவி)
Zac Poonen · Jan 16, 2017 · 1h 52m
True wisdom is achieved through a dual process: maturing in thought while maintaining the childlike dependence on God in the heart. The speaker emphasizes that studying God's Word is essential for intellectual growth, citing Paul's instruction to Timothy. Furthermore, wisdom is cultivated by living under God's grace, as exemplified by Jesus's own growth, and by honoring one's parents while maintaining spiritual discernment.

Zac Poonen · Jan 15, 2017 · 1h 6m
The speaker contrasts the understanding of God's power and wisdom in the Old Covenant versus the New Covenant, emphasizing that God's way of thinking is fundamentally different from human logic. He stresses that true spiritual understanding comes from the Holy Spirit, which guides believers to hear God's voice in their hearts, rather than relying on worldly resources like money or physical comfort.

He stresses the importance of fathers taking this leadership role seriously.

Freedom from Anger and Sexual Lust (கோபம் பாலிய இச்சையிலிருந்து விடுதலை) - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jan 14, 2017 · 1h 15m
The sermon argues that true wisdom requires confronting and overcoming known sins, using anger as a primary example. The speaker contrasts worldly self-control (like yoga) with true spiritual wisdom, noting that suppressing anger internally is dangerous. He emphasizes that anger dwells in the heart of a fool and that believers must emulate Jesus' non-retaliatory response, understanding that anger itself is a sin unless it concerns the glory of God.

The First Step To Get Heavenly Wisdom (பரத்திற்குரிய ஞானத்தைப் பெறுவதற்கான முதல் படி) - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jan 14, 2017 · 1h 13m
True divine wisdom is fundamentally different from human cleverness, as illustrated by Jesus' words in Matthew 11:25. The Bible reveals profound truths not to the wise or intelligent, but to the humble, like little children. Therefore, accessing God's wisdom requires abandoning self-reliance and embracing a posture of deep humility and helpless dependence on Christ.

Partaking of the Glory of Christ - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Apr 3, 2016 · 1h 24m
The message emphasizes that true Christian life involves actively growing in the grace and knowledge of Jesus Christ, which is evidenced by increasing reverence or the fear of God. The speaker contrasts the 'gospel of forgiveness of sins'—which only saves one from Hell—with the gospel of 'gaining the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ,' which requires continuous spiritual growth. This growth is necessary to avoid being an empty vessel before God.

God wants us to Build Fellowship (Picnic Sunday) - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Mar 27, 2016 · 33m
The central message is that the primary purpose of gathering on Sunday is to build genuine fellowship, which is more vital than merely hearing the word of God.

From God, Through God and To God - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Mar 13, 2016 · 2h 5m
The sermon reflects on the early history of humanity, specifically comparing Cain and Seth from Genesis chapter 4.
