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.

Living In An Upside-Down World: 4.By a living faith - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jan 30, 2014 · 1h 1m
The central message is that true Christianity requires living in a way that is 'right-side up' according to Jesus' teachings, contrasting sharply with the 'upside-down' values of the world. The speaker warns that Satan attempts to gain a foothold not just through obvious sin, but more subtly by allowing worldly values and distractions to consume time, preventing believers from deeply engaging with Scripture. Therefore, the only way to truly live is by diligently following every word that proceeds from God's mouth.

A Christ Like Home: 1.Christlike Husbands And Wives - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jan 30, 2014 · 1h 4m
A Christ-like home requires every member—husband, wife, father, mother, and children—to be conformed to the image of Christ. The central message is that true fulfillment comes not from external success but from actively seeking God's will, acknowledging when things are 'finished' (like the wine at Cana), and maintaining honesty. The speaker emphasizes that faith means believing God is more interested in redeeming and building a godly home than we are, even when facing deep struggles or perceived hopelessness.

CFC Messages · Jan 15, 2014 · 1h 10m
The sermon emphasizes that following Jesus is a narrow, difficult path, contrasting it with the wide path leading to destruction. True life and joy are found by choosing this narrow way, which requires daily testing and commitment. The speaker encourages the congregation to follow Jesus' example and to encourage younger members to walk this path, trusting that God will provide strength through every trial.

Reality In Your Christian Life - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Oct 14, 2013 · 3m 7s
The speaker uses the architectural metaphor of a cube, referencing Revelation 21:16, to illustrate the need for depth in one's spiritual life. He warns that on the final day, God will examine the true depth of a person's faith, exposing superficiality. Therefore, believers should focus on cultivating genuine depth in their private lives rather than presenting an overly grand image to others.

Zac Poonen · Sep 30, 2013 · 1h 9m
The central message emphasizes that the greatest work a person can do for God is not through sacrifices or good deeds, but through genuine faith—specifically, the commitment to obey. The speaker draws heavily on scripture (John 6:27, 1 Samuel 17:15, 1 Samuel 16:7) to support this, arguing that obedience surpasses ritual. He also encourages the audience by pointing to Abraham's life, illustrating that God's faithfulness is based on belief, even when human circumstances are flawed.

Marks Of True Faith - (1 of 3) by Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jun 4, 2013 · 1h 2m
The speaker emphasizes that true understanding of Christian concepts like grace and faith requires careful, deep study of the Bible, as misunderstanding key passages can lead to false assumptions about salvation. He distinguishes between intellectual belief and true spiritual faith, asserting that genuine faith resides in the heart/spirit, not merely the mind. Maintaining a good conscience is presented as crucial to preserving one's faith, warning that neglect can lead to a shipwreck of faith.

Marks Of True Faith - (2 of 3) by Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · May 31, 2013 · 1h 1m
The speaker emphasizes that both grace and faith are essential for salvation, noting that grace is God's gift and faith is the human response of receiving it. He warns against counterfeit understandings of both grace and faith, advising listeners to look to the lived experience of others rather than just theoretical knowledge. True grace and faith are described as being received in the heart, not merely understood by the mind, and both must continually grow throughout one's life.

God Shows His Way To Those Who Fear Him - Zac Poonen (Telugu)
Zac Poonen · May 26, 2013 · 1h 3m
The sermon emphasizes that while humans often believe they know the right path, this perceived right way can actually lead to death.

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 - 21 (Proverbs) by Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Apr 10, 2013 · 57m
The Book of Proverbs addresses the practical, daily walk of life, complementing the devotional aspects covered in the Psalms. True wisdom begins with the 'fear of the Lord,' which is defined not as fearing God's punishment, but as a deep reverence for Him. The speaker emphasizes that wisdom comes from knowing God personally, not just studying the Bible, and that this knowledge requires seeking God diligently, as if searching for hidden treasure. Furthermore, the book teaches the importance of trusting God completely and acknowledging Him in all life's decisions.

Through The Bible - English - 37 (Matthew-2) by Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Apr 10, 2013 · 58m
The speaker argues that many Christians mistakenly live under the 'Old Covenant' mindset, basing their understanding of sin and righteousness on the failures of Old Testament figures. True Christian life, or the 'New Covenant,' requires setting one's mind on heavenly things and focusing on Jesus Christ's example rather than finding excuses for sin in scripture. The gospel's focus is overcoming sin through faith, not demanding immediate, miraculous deliverance from every difficulty.

Through The Bible - English - 08 (Deuteronomy) by Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Apr 10, 2013 · 59m
The book of Deuteronomy is structured around three key messages: looking back with gratitude at God's faithfulness, looking upward to see the glory of Jesus through God's law, and looking forward in faith to God's future work. The speaker emphasizes that maintaining these three perspectives—past gratitude, present focus on Christ, and future hope—is essential for a life of humility and enduring faith. He cautions against looking back in discouragement or pride, and against becoming complacent in spiritual understanding.

Through The Bible - English - 65 (James) by Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Apr 10, 2013 · 54m
The speaker emphasizes that genuine faith must produce visible works, using James's letter as evidence. He encourages listeners to view trials as opportunities, as testing faith is necessary to build a strong foundation. Furthermore, the speaker advises that when lacking wisdom, one must ask God in faith, remembering that God corrects rather than scolds, and that asking without faith will yield no answer.

Through The Bible - English - 47 (Romans-2) by Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Apr 10, 2013 · 56m
The sermon emphasizes that true faith is not an internal feeling but an outward trust placed in the reliability of God's promises, exemplified by Abraham's assurance. It contrasts this with the danger of self-examination regarding one's own faith. Furthermore, the message stresses that salvation is a gift imputed by God's grace through Christ's work, not earned by works, and that Christian living involves inheriting Christ's nature rather than merely trying to imitate Him.

Through The Bible - English - 66 (1 & 2 Peter) by Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Apr 10, 2013 · 55m
Peter writes that the true grace of God is multifaceted, beginning with God choosing believers according to His foreknowledge. This grace is tested through various trials, which serve to purify faith, much like fire purifies gold. Enduring these trials leads to a deeper detachment from worldly attachments and ultimately results in praise and glory through faith, even without physical sight of Christ.

Through The Bible - English - 59 (2 Timothy) by Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Apr 10, 2013 · 56m
Paul encourages Timothy to maintain devotion in ministry, noting that true service is demonstrated by one's life rather than mere words. He emphasizes that faith is best communicated not through teaching alone, but by modeling trust in God during difficult times within the home. Furthermore, Paul reminds Timothy that while God gives spiritual gifts, believers must actively keep those gifts

Zac Poonen · Apr 6, 2013 · 50m
The sermon uses the Book of Esther to illustrate God's unseen sovereignty and care for His people, even when God's name is never mentioned. It highlights that while God commands His people to leave spiritual 'Babylons,' He still cares for those who remain. The narrative shows God working through seemingly compromised individuals, culminating in Esther's courageous decision to risk her life to save her people from Haman's plot.
