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.

Zac Poonen · Jan 30, 2014 · 57m
The speaker emphasizes that the New Covenant has fundamentally higher standards than the Old Covenant, particularly regarding marriage. He uses the discussion of divorce in Matthew 19 to illustrate how Christians often misquote or misunderstand scripture by failing to cross-reference passages with the Old Testament. The central message is the necessity of careful, diligent study of scripture to avoid doctrinal error in all areas of life, especially marriage.

The sermon emphasizes the importance of building one's life on the solid foundation of Jesus' teachings, particularly those found in Matthew chapters 5, 6, and 7. The speaker warns that merely hearing these words without obeying them is insufficient, as even a small wind can cause a house built on weak foundations to collapse. He urges the congregation to take these teachings seriously now rather than discovering the truth later.

The sermon emphasizes the necessity of entering the narrow gate and following the narrow way, drawing parallels to Jesus' teaching in Matthew 7 and John 5. The speaker stresses that true understanding of scripture, especially concepts like eternal life, comes not from human intellect but from a humble heart, comparing this understanding to that of a baby.

5.In our Obedience to the Scriptures - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Oct 18, 2013 · 1h 15m
The speaker emphasizes that true understanding of scripture cannot come from pre-conceived theological frameworks or 'molds' in our minds. Instead, one must allow the scripture itself to be the mold, allowing it to shape one's thoughts and understanding. He warns against spiritual complacency, urging listeners to pursue peace with all people and holiness, lest they fail to see the Lord. Furthermore, he cautions against despising God's grace, urging believers to live as spiritual royalty rather than as beggars.

Karaikudi Conference - Session 8 - 12:00 to 13:00 | Zac Poonen
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.

Through The Bible - English - 10 (Judges & Ruth) - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jul 2, 2013 · 54m
The speaker uses the Book of Judges to illustrate that Israel's decline followed periods of great victory because the people failed to maintain a deep, personal knowledge of God. He warns that merely studying the Bible or having impressive ministry statistics is insufficient; true knowledge of God comes through personal trials and yearning, not just information. Ultimately, the message is that spiritual leadership requires knowing God deeply, and the church must prioritize the quality of spiritual believers over sheer numbers.

Marks Of True Faith - (1 of 3) by Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jun 4, 2013 · 1h 2m

Maintaining a good conscience is presented as crucial to preserving one's faith, warning that neglect can lead to a shipwreck of faith.

The Will Of God Is The Best Thing To Seek - Zac Poonen (Telugu)
Zac Poonen · May 30, 2013 · 1h 3m
The sermon emphasizes that human understanding of good and evil is insufficient, as God's wisdom surpasses our own. Instead of relying on human logic, believers must seek God's wisdom to discern what is truly good. The speaker uses parables of the lost sheep and the prodigal son to illustrate that when a brother strays due to carelessness or false teaching, the church should actively go after them to guide them back, unlike the case of the rebellious son.

Worship Is When Jesus Is Everything To Us - Zac Poonen (Telugu)
Zac Poonen · May 30, 2013 · 41m
True worship means that Jesus Christ is everything to us, requiring us to worship even when facing profound loss, as exemplified by Job. Unlike typical worship that follows blessings or achievements, true worship involves offering sacrifices even amid suffering and loss. To worship correctly, we must learn to see things through God's perspective, which requires studying Scripture.

God Is A Good And Loving Father - Zac Poonen (Telugu)
Zac Poonen · May 26, 2013 · 1h 6m
The sermon emphasizes the crucial difference between merely reading God's Word and actively obeying it. Using the analogy of manna in the wilderness, the speaker explains that just as the Israelites had to consume manna daily to survive, believers must receive and live by God's Word every day. True nourishment comes not from hearing the word, but from obeying it, which allows it to be 'digested' and become useful to our lives.

Lessons From Adam's Failure - Zac Poonen (Telugu)
Zac Poonen · May 26, 2013 · 1h 0m
The sermon uses the story of Adam's failure in the Garden of Eden to illustrate the contrast between life lived through obedience and life brought about by disobedience. The speaker emphasizes that everything beautiful and good in life comes only through obedience to God, contrasting the immediate obedience of creation in Genesis 1 with humanity's initial failure. Ultimately, the speaker points to the life of Jesus Christ as the ultimate example of perfect obedience.

Choosing The Good Always - Zac Poonen (Telugu)
Zac Poonen · May 26, 2013 · 56m
The sermon emphasizes that believers must constantly focus on Jesus Christ as the most important person present. Drawing from Amos 5:14, the core message is to 'seek good and not evil' to live, as God's presence is contingent upon this pursuit. The speaker contrasts the historical inability of many religious leaders to live according to God's will with Jesus's life, which demonstrated how to live righteously, establishing the Kingdom of Heaven here on earth within the church.

The True Grace Of God - (2 of 2) by Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Apr 29, 2013 · 1h 2m
The speaker argues that many Christians misunderstand the true scope of God's grace, focusing only on forgiveness of sin rather than its comprehensive nature. He explains that grace, symbolized by the seven colors of a rainbow, encompasses more than just pardon; it also brings victory over sin, leading to a life where sin cannot rule. To truly understand grace, one must acknowledge that all human understanding, including religious tradition, can be flawed and must submit to Scripture.

Discipleship And All That Jesus Taught - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Apr 23, 2013 · 1h 1m
The speaker draws lessons from Paul's warning to the elders in Ephesus, emphasizing that true ministry requires declaring the 'whole purpose of God,' not just parts of it. He critiques modern evangelism for being shallow and overly reliant on human logic or psychology, arguing that genuine spiritual understanding comes from deep study of scripture and submission to the Holy Spirit's guidance, rather than clever reasoning. The core message is the necessity of comprehensive teaching to reflect the full glory of God.

Trembling At God's Word - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Apr 23, 2013 · 24m
The speaker urges the audience to develop a deep reverence for God's word, comparing it to a fear greater than fear of law enforcement. He emphasizes that true discipleship requires pursuing peace with all people and sanctification, warning that without this, one cannot see the Lord. The message also touches on the necessity of acknowledging one's own degree of guilt in every conflict, no matter how much fault lies with another.

Through The Bible - English - 29 (Hosea & Joel) by Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Apr 10, 2013 · 54m
The sermon uses the book of Hosea to illustrate the theme of spiritual adultery and God's enduring love. Spiritual unfaithfulness is equated with loving anything other than God—such as money, worldly honor, or pleasure—which constitutes idolatry. The core message is that true prophetic ministry requires experiencing God's heart through personal suffering, mirroring how God taught Hosea through a painful marriage. Ultimately, ministry effectiveness comes not just from knowledge, but from enduring trials that allow one to feel God's compassion.

Through The Bible - English - 22 (Ecclesiastes) by Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Apr 10, 2013 · 57m
The speaker argues that while Solomon's wisdom is evident, Ecclesiastes demonstrates the futility of relying on human cleverness to find God. True wisdom, which is divine, is found through humility, exemplified by the childlike nature Jesus referenced. The core message is that intellectual prowess is useless in spiritual matters; one must lay aside human cleverness and approach God with a humble heart.

Through The Bible - English - 18 (Job-2) by Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Apr 10, 2013 · 54m
The speaker uses the Book of Job as an illustration, noting that it deals with the individual rather than a nation. He emphasizes that criticism from fellow believers can be more painful and damaging than opposition from unbelievers. The sermon warns against speaking truth without proper motive, stressing that God judges the spirit behind our words, not just their outward correctness.
