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.

Abiding In Love - Vincent
CFC Messages · Apr 23, 2013 · 29m
The sermon emphasizes that the core of Christian life is abiding in God's love, mirroring the unconditional love Christ showed, even to Judas. True discipleship requires a commitment to love others consistently, like Ruth loving Naomi until the end, and maintaining this love despite personal difficulty or disagreement. Ultimately, believers are called to live by God's grace and hope, recognizing that our ability to love perfectly comes from the Holy Spirit, not our own strength.

God Loves Doing The Impossible - Santosh Poonen & Zac Poonen
Santosh Poonen · Apr 23, 2013 · 1h 13m
God loves to display His glory, and He often achieves this by working in impossible or hopeless situations. The speaker emphasizes that whether God answers a prayer with 'yes' or 'no,' the ultimate goal is to manifest His glory, which is best seen through weakness. Therefore, believers should align their ambitions with God's goal of displaying His glory, recognizing the necessity of the Holy Spirit for accomplishing the impossible.

Through The Bible - English - 27 (Ezekiel) by Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Apr 10, 2013 · 57m
The sermon uses Ezekiel's calling as an example of God's calling, which often requires moving beyond one's initial plans and accepting necessary discipline. The speaker emphasizes that true service requires submission to God's will, even when it involves suffering or going to undesirable places. Furthermore, the vision of the wheels illustrates the sovereign working of God and the Holy Spirit in all life circumstances, regardless of direction.

Through The Bible - English - 39 (Luke-1) by Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Apr 10, 2013 · 57m
The speaker discusses the Gospel of Luke, noting its unique perspective as a Gentile writer detailing Jesus' life. A major theme emphasized is the baptism in the Holy Spirit, which the speaker warns against counterfeits, urging listeners to seek genuine power rather than mere emotional experiences. Furthermore, the speaker draws parallels between the Holy Spirit coming upon Mary to conceive Jesus and the Spirit coming upon the believer, noting that the purpose of this anointing is to produce the character of Christ in one's life.

Through The Bible - English - 44 (Acts-1) by Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Apr 10, 2013 · 57m
The sermon analyzes Acts 1, emphasizing that the Christian life follows the pattern of Jesus first doing and then teaching. The speaker cautions against focusing on earthly blessings or understanding times and seasons, urging instead to seek the power of the Holy Spirit. True power empowers one's specific calling—whether it's motherhood, teaching, or ministry—rather than transforming one into a different role.

Through The Bible - English - 43 (John-2) by Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Apr 10, 2013 · 57m
Jesus's mission, according to John 6:38, was not merely to atone for sin but to live out the will of the Father by denying his own will, which is symbolized by taking up the cross. True spiritual power to deny the flesh and follow God's will comes only through the Holy Spirit. Furthermore, the true mark of God's blessing is not prosperity or longevity, but the continuous transformation of one's character to become more like Christ.

Through The Bible - Tamil - 14 (2 Kings) by Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Apr 6, 2013 · 50m
The sermon analyzes 2 Kings, contrasting the Old Covenant ministry of Elijah with the New Covenant ministry of Jesus, emphasizing that the goal is salvation, not judgment. It uses Elisha's request for a double portion of the Spirit to illustrate that true spiritual growth requires continuous dissatisfaction with current blessings, always seeking more of the Holy Spirit. The speaker concludes by comparing the widow's oil miracle to the church's debt—a debt of un-preached gospel to the world.

Zac Poonen · Apr 6, 2013 · 50m
The speaker analyzes the structure of Luke's Gospel and the Acts of the Apostles, noting that Luke details what Jesus began to do and teach, while Acts describes what Jesus continued to do and teach through the church. He warns against modern deviations from Jesus' pattern, such as demanding financial support or changing core teachings, emphasizing that Jesus' character and mission remain constant. The talk concludes by stressing that the focus should be on the Kingdom of God and the power received through the Holy Spirit, as demonstrated by the early apostles.

Through The Bible - Tamil - 51 (2 Corinthians - 1) by Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Apr 6, 2013 · 50m
The sermon emphasizes that Christian life is characterized by being ambassadors for Christ, requiring believers to undergo trials and suffering, as this process strengthens them for God's glory. The speaker contrasts the ministry of the letter (which can be restrictive and judgmental) with the ministry of the Spirit, which brings true life and victory over sin. Ultimately, true transformation comes from the Holy Spirit, not just from hearing powerful sermons.

Through The Bible - Tamil - 48 (Romans - 2) by Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Apr 6, 2013 · 50m
The sermon outlines the logical progression of the Gospel through Romans, starting with humanity's sin and God's justification through Christ's death and resurrection. It emphasizes that true Christian life moves beyond merely accepting forgiveness (Romans 5) to actively becoming a servant of God (Romans 6). The core message contrasts the 'law' (human effort) with 'grace' (God's work), urging believers to rely on the Holy Spirit to write God's law in their hearts, rather than trying to achieve holiness through self-effort or legalism.

Zac Poonen · Apr 6, 2013 · 50m
The sermon emphasizes that preparing for Christ's return requires clearing the way for the Lord, which involves eliminating discouragement, pride, and roughness from our lives. Key themes include recognizing that all blessings are gifts from God, the necessity of relying on God's strength rather than our own, and understanding that God upholds and empowers His servants through the Holy Spirit. The speaker encourages meditating on Isaiah's prophecies to build faith in God's sovereignty and power.

Zac Poonen · Feb 23, 2013 · 1h 0m
The message emphasizes that life in the coming year will be a time of shaking, requiring believers to plant both feet firmly in the unshakable kingdom of God. Acceptable service to God must arise not from fear or obligation, but from deep gratitude and reverence.

Sanjay Poonen · Jan 31, 2013 · 27m
The central message is that Jesus's life and ministry demonstrate that God has the power to make the impossible possible throughout history, citing examples from creation, Abraham's lineage, Joseph's life, and the birth of Jesus.

Zac Poonen · Sep 23, 2012 · 1h 2m
The central message is that believers must continuously be led and filled by the Holy Spirit to progress toward the likeness of Jesus Christ.

He warns that relying solely on the church community can lead to neglecting this vital personal connection with God.

The Law Of The Spirit_3.The Law Of Giving by Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jul 12, 2012 · 58m
The speaker discusses the Law of the Spirit, emphasizing that true spiritual life comes from within, not just external observance. He cautions against seeking the Holy Spirit merely for personal gain, stressing that the Spirit must flow through us rather than just being drunk. The talk concludes by exploring the nature of prayer, arguing that it is often illogical and that persistent, simple prayer, as exemplified by Jesus and George Müller, is key to receiving God's gifts.

The Law Of The Spirit_1.The Law Of Life by Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jul 10, 2012 · 54m
The sermon contrasts the Law of Moses, which served only to reveal humanity's sinfulness, with the Law of the Spirit. The speaker emphasizes that while the Law of Moses was a physical set of commandments, the Holy Spirit is personal. He argues that many Christians mistakenly live under the principle of the old law, evidenced by being defeated by sin, when they should instead live under grace, which brings freedom. True life comes not just from studying doctrine, but from coming to Christ.

Zac Poonen · Jul 9, 2012 · 44m
The sermon emphasizes that following Jesus means living a life of perfect obedience, which is a high standard that challenges many Christians. The speaker argues that God's commands are not impossible, citing Jesus' own life as proof, and that the Holy Spirit empowers us to live in a manner that demonstrates sin is serious and God's commands are achievable. The core message is that the true power of the Holy Spirit is to enable us to live like Jesus on earth.

13.God's Power Alone Can Help Us - Zac Poonen (With Tamil Translation)
Zac Poonen · Jun 24, 2012 · 26m
The core message is that sin creates a separation between humanity and God, which can only be reconciled through Christ's atoning death and resurrection. While Christianity teaches that we are sinners and cannot achieve holiness through our own efforts, God provides the necessary power—His Spirit—to live a holy life. This divine power is the essential element that enables believers to follow the foundation of the faith.

21.We Are Not Orphans - Zac Poonen (With Tamil Translation)
Zac Poonen · Jun 24, 2012 · 26m
The central message is that knowing God as Father through the Holy Spirit eliminates feelings of being an orphan. Jesus promised the Spirit to dwell within believers, unlike the Old Testament experience where the Spirit merely 'came upon' individuals. The speaker details the signs of an 'orphan spirit,' such as intense insecurity, possessiveness, jealousy, and constant competition, which stem from a lack of true paternal love and acceptance.

26.The Renewal Of Our Minds - Zac Poonen (With Tamil Translation)
Zac Poonen · Jun 24, 2012 · 27m
God's way of thinking is vastly different from ours because our wisdom, love, and knowledge are limited, unlike God who sees the total picture. To align with God's will, believers must allow the Holy Spirit to transform their minds, moving away from worldly conformity. This renewal process leads to becoming more like Christ and enables one to discover God's good, acceptable, and perfect will.

Zac Poonen · Jun 24, 2012 · 27m
Jesus' life exemplified humble service and maintaining a pure spirit through resisting temptation, relying on the Holy Spirit's power. The core message emphasizes divine love, which requires no response, contrasting it with human love. This divine compassion compels us to view others who sin or fail with the same mercy Jesus showed, recognizing their spiritual sickness rather than reacting with anger.

35.Mercy And Grace - Zac Poonen (With Tamil Translation)
Zac Poonen · Jun 24, 2012 · 27m
The speaker discusses the New Covenant established by Jesus, contrasting it with the Old Covenant. He emphasizes that the Old Covenant served only to reveal sin, acting like a mirror, but it could not cleanse it. True cleansing and salvation come through the New Covenant, which requires the revelation of the Holy Spirit to understand. Furthermore, he distinguishes between being 'covered' from sin and being truly 'cleansed' from it, warning against misunderstanding salvation as merely being forgiven without being saved from sin.

45.New-Covenant Home Relationships - Zac Poonen (With Tamil Translation)
Zac Poonen · Jun 24, 2012 · 27m
The sermon emphasizes that the Christian life, particularly in home and work relationships, must reflect the standard of Christ's love. It argues that loving others as Christ loved the Church is impossible by human effort alone, requiring the power of the Holy Spirit. To allow this divine love to flow, one must actively deny the self and remove personal stubbornness, which is identified as the primary hindrance.

58.The Anointing Of The Spirit - Zac Poonen (With Tamil Translation)
Zac Poonen · Jun 24, 2012 · 27m
The Holy Spirit builds the Church, the body of Christ, by giving different functions and gifts to its members, just as different parts of a human body work together. The speaker warns against arrogance in ministry, cautioning evangelists against trying to make everyone an evangelist, as every believer has a unique role. True strength comes from recognizing and appreciating the distinct, God-given ministry of every member.
