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.

Through The Bible - Tamil - 47 (Romans - 1) by Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Apr 6, 2013 · 50m
The central theme of Romans is the gospel of God, which is not centered on humanity but on Jesus Christ. The speaker argues that many Christians mistakenly believe the gospel concerns their personal needs—like healing, finances, or job security—leading to a shallow spiritual life.
