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.

04.Choosing The Creator Over The Created - Zac Poonen (With Tamil Translation)
Zac Poonen · Jun 24, 2012 · 25m
The core message is that true holiness cannot be achieved merely by external religious reform; it requires internal purification through making conscious choices. Sin originates in pride and rebellion, and the ability to become holy is dependent on having the freedom to choose between God (the Creator) and created things. Temptation, therefore, is the mechanism God uses to test whether we choose Him above all attractive worldly things.

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.

23.Renewal Through God's Word - Zac Poonen (With Tamil Translation)
Zac Poonen · Jun 24, 2012 · 27m
The central message is that true spiritual growth requires continuous renewal through God's Word and the Holy Spirit, not just receiving correct information. Just as God created the world through a process of divine word and Spirit's action, believers must respond daily to the Word to be transformed into God's image. This renewal is a constant process, as stagnation or complacency leads to spiritual decline, requiring daily repentance and effort.

28.The Sin Of Jealousy - Zac Poonen (With Tamil Translation)
Zac Poonen · Jun 24, 2012 · 26m
The sermon uses the story of Cain and Abel to illustrate that God accepts the offering based on the heart and motive of the giver, not just the physical offering itself. The speaker emphasizes that external religious acts or miracles are insufficient if the heart is corrupt or motivated by pride. True acceptance comes from a right heart, mirroring the voluntary and sincere devotion shown by Abel.

33.How Jesus Overcame Temptation - Zac Poonen (With Tamil Translation)
Zac Poonen · Jun 24, 2012 · 27m
The sermon emphasizes that true holiness is an inward purity of the spirit, comparable to physical health or mental education, and it requires striving for 100% freedom from sin. Jesus's example shows that he overcame temptation not by his own power, but by remaining humble and operating under the constant power of God's grace. Grace, in this context, is defined not as mere favor, but as God's power to meet every need and overcome every trial.

52.The Fear Of God - Zac Poonen (With Tamil Translation)
Zac Poonen · Jun 24, 2012 · 27m
The core message is that the true 'fear of God' is not the fear of punishment, but rather a deep reverence that leads one to desire to please God and live righteously. This reverence is foundational to wisdom and is necessary for perfecting holiness, as evidenced by passages in both the Old and New Testaments. When this fear is absent, people are prone to sin, deceit, and living without moral restraint.

56.God's Part And Our Part - Zac Poonen (With Tamil Translation)
Zac Poonen · Jun 24, 2012 · 27m
The sermon discusses Paul's letter to the Ephesians, noting its division into two parts: the first three chapters detail what God has done for us in Christ, while the next three chapters explain how we should respond. The speaker warns against Christians who focus only on either the foundation (God's work) or the superstructure (our response), emphasizing that a balanced understanding of both is necessary for a complete Christian life. Ultimately, true Christian living requires acknowledging our inability to achieve holiness by our own effort and relying entirely on God's power through Christ.

1.Not Seeking Our Own - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Apr 22, 2012 · 1h 11m

The sermon warns listeners about the pervasive deception in the current age, cautioning against spiritual pride and false understanding. The speaker details three sources of deception: the devil (who deceives by mimicking past deceptions), lust (which offers temporary pleasure while ultimately destroying), and potentially even God Himself, which is presented as the most critical warning. Ultimately, the message emphasizes that while the devil and lust deceive, God remains the ultimate protector.

Zac Poonen · May 10, 2011 · 55m
The speaker emphasizes that true Christian life requires more than just intellectual belief or outward religious activity; it demands control over one's speech.

Post- Tribulation Rapture by Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Apr 20, 2011 · 11m
The speaker critiques the popular doctrine that Jesus will secretly rapture the church before the seven-year tribulation, stating that scripture does not support this teaching. He emphasizes that believers must prepare for a period of intense persecution and tribulation, drawing parallels to the need for genuine holiness motivated by the fear of God, rather than the fear of being caught by Christ's return.

The Spirit Of Elijah - Zac Poonen (Telugu)
Zac Poonen · Feb 13, 2011 · 56m
The speaker emphasizes that the New Covenant Church is characterized by purity and unity, drawing an analogy to melting separate pieces of iron in a furnace to form one inseparable body. He argues that the Church, as the Body of Christ, must reflect this oneness and holiness, citing Jesus' prayer in John 17. True spiritual power and building up the Body of Christ come from this purity and unity, not merely from large numbers or outward displays.

The Hindrance Of Traditions - Zac Poonen (Telugu)
Zac Poonen · Feb 12, 2011 · 58m
The speaker urges listeners to move beyond mere religious observance and instead cultivate genuine godliness in preparation for Christ's return. He distinguishes between being 'religious' (adhering to traditions) and being 'godly' (having true devotion), warning that focusing on external piety can be a hindrance. True readiness requires giving up not just sin, but also the adherence to religious traditions, as exemplified by the Pharisees' focus on minor rules over genuine faith.
