Zac Poonen · Oct 20, 2025 · 9m · CFC Daily Devotions
The speaker emphasizes that living under the New Covenant requires a passionate desire to please God in every aspect of life, comparing this desire to the intense longing for freedom or employment. He explains that God promises to put His law into our minds and write it on our hearts, which requires us to first acknowledge our lack of desire and ask God for that passion. True repentance is characterized by deep remorse and weeping over sin, which ultimately leads to victory through God's grace.

The sermon uses the story of Samuel to illustrate that God speaks to the humble and pure heart, bypassing the knowledgeable but burdened. The central message is that knowing God as a loving Father, as taught in the Lord's Prayer, provides profound security. The speaker warns against the 'no entry' roads of discouragement and self-condemnation, reminding listeners that through Christ, there is no condemnation for those who are in Him.

Zac Poonen · May 5, 2026 · 10m · CFC Daily Devotions
Zac Poonen teaches that a proper understanding of God's grace must be built upon the foundation of the fear of God, which has been neglected in modern Christianity. He argues that many Christians have adopted a false grace that permits sinful living, when in fact those under the new covenant should live with greater holiness than those under the old covenant, and that true obedience and respect must be established from childhood. The absence of the fear of God has led to widespread spiritual compromise and a distorted gospel that bears no resemblance to the transformative power Christ demonstrated through his own obedience.

The central message is that the Christian life is defined by humility, exemplified by Jesus Christ. The speaker urges listeners to adopt the attitude found in Christ, referencing Philippians 2:5, and to learn from Jesus' example of gentleness and humility found in Matthew 11:29. True humility is internal and cannot be faked through reputation, and this focus on Christ is reinforced by fixing our eyes on Him, especially through the ultimate act of humility on the cross (Hebrews 12:2).

Zac Poonen · Feb 13, 2025 · 8m · CFC Daily Devotions
The central message is that one's inherent being and character before God are more important than the amount of religious service or accomplishments one performs. Drawing from Acts 1:1, the speaker emphasizes that Jesus' ministry involved first *being* and then *doing* and *teaching*. Therefore, Christian life should flow from one's inner life and conduct at home, as this is where Jesus desires to live through believers.

True freedom comes from knowing and living by God's truth, which liberates believers from the slavery of sin. Zac Poonen emphasizes that genuine spiritual growth occurs through obedience to God's Word and choosing a church where the preaching actually addresses and conquers sin, rather than settling for entertainment, eloquence, or secondary theological discussions that leave believers defeated by sin.

The central message is that overcoming fear is impossible through personal strength or boldness; it requires God's grace. Drawing from Paul's experience, the speaker emphasizes that God gives grace only to the humble, and circumstances, even difficulties, can be tools God uses to keep us humble. Therefore, we must accept our current circumstances and rely entirely on God's power, which is most evident in our weakness.

Zac Poonen · Jan 12, 2024 · 14m · CFC Daily Devotions
The central message is that believers must shift their life's priorities from earthly concerns to bearing the image of heaven, exemplified by Christ. The speaker argues that true spirituality is not about maintaining outward decorum or pleasing people, but about prioritizing fellowship with God and embodying Christ's radical compassion, even if it causes offense. This requires a fundamental change in one's value system.

The speaker contrasts a negative testimony—listing things one abstains from (e.g., not smoking, not drinking)—with the positive testimony of living before God's face every day. Drawing from Elijah's example, the central message is that true spiritual vitality comes from a positive, daily relationship with God, rather than merely avoiding sin. He concludes by emphasizing that the mark of a true church is the palpable presence of God, which should be the deepest longing for every believer.

Zac Poonen explains the fundamental difference between God's work in the Old Testament versus the New Testament: in the Old Testament, God helped people externally from the outside, but could not change their hearts from within; in the New Testament, the Holy Spirit comes to live inside believers, providing inner power to overcome sin and live righteously. He uses examples like Peter's denial of Jesus and David's failures to illustrate how external help and human determination are insufficient—only the indwelling Holy Spirit gives believers the strength to resist temptation and live a life honoring God.
