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.

A Life That Lays Hold Of Jesus | ಯೇಸುವಿನಲ್ಲಿ ನೆಲೆಗೊಂಡ ಜೀವಿತ | Santosh Poonen
Santosh Poonen · Sep 15, 2020 · 29m
The speaker draws parallels between the deep, sacrificial love of a father for his children and God's love for humanity, referencing John 3:16. He urges the audience to realize that God has special plans for them through Christ, emphasizing that true Christian life means laying hold of Jesus above all earthly pursuits, including career, reputation, or even physical comfort. The core message is a call to shift focus from self-effort or using Jesus as a means to an end, to fully relying on and experiencing the fullness of Christ.

Santosh Poonen · Apr 20, 2020 · 58m
The speaker compares the current global events to a 'fire drill' or 'model exam' for believers, suggesting that these trials are opportunities to test one's readiness for Christ's return. He emphasizes that true readiness means having a clear conscience and a deep, personal relationship with Jesus, as there will be no second chance when the final event occurs. The message concludes by focusing on the warning, "I do not know you," which the speaker suggests is a message for those who already consider themselves Christians.

A Life That Demonstrates God's Perfect Patience | Santosh Poonen | Tamil
Santosh Poonen · Apr 8, 2020 · 59m
The speaker contrasts the fast-paced nature of the modern world with the slow, deliberate way God operates. He draws from 2 Peter 3:8, noting that to God, a day is like a thousand years, emphasizing that God's timing is not bound by human efficiency. The central message is that we must learn to embrace God's patience, recognizing that even spiritual victories, like overcoming lust, are given slowly as a demonstration of His character.

God Gives His Holy Spirit To Widows - Santosh Poonen
Santosh Poonen · Jan 31, 2020 · 1h 1m
The speaker emphasizes that the ultimate mark of the fullness of the Holy Spirit is becoming holy, which involves humility and living under God's grace. He compares this to being constantly under a waterfall of grace, suggesting that pride is the only thing that causes one to step out of this grace. The message concludes by warning that the devil's true devouring is not through external attacks, but by leading one into the spirit of pride.

The Congregation, The Club And The Church - Santosh Poonen
Santosh Poonen · Aug 22, 2018 · 58m
The speaker emphasizes that building the church requires a radical, sacrificial commitment, likened to shedding every layer of the 'old wineskin.' True Christian life, according to the speaker, must be rooted first in an unadulterated love and obedience to the Father. This foundational relationship with God (the vertical beam of the cross) must precede and motivate all love for people or ministry (the horizontal beam).

Young People and Social Media - Santosh Poonen
Santosh Poonen · Mar 19, 2018 · 29m
The speaker advises that social media should not be allowed to become a master, drawing a parallel to the warning against serving Mammon. He cautions that the danger lies in the power social media holds over us, which can lead to entanglement and waste precious time, like draining an expensive perfume. He stresses that genuine relationships and spiritual growth require real-life, face-to-face interaction, as online personas are often artificial.

Intimacy With Jesus Outside The Camp - Santosh Poonen
Santosh Poonen · Apr 30, 2016 · 1h 10m
The speaker discusses the unique message of the Christian life, contrasting it with mere forgiveness of sins or even the pursuit of victory over sin. He argues that the ultimate goal is not simply overcoming personal struggles, but recognizing that Jesus is the Savior, not just the forgiver. He warns that focusing on personal victory can lead to spiritual pride and missing the true destination of discipleship.

Following Jesus' Perfect Faith - Santosh Poonen
Santosh Poonen · Jan 7, 2015 · 40m
The speaker emphasizes that God prepares believers for ministry through testing in private settings, specifically at home and work, rather than just on Sunday. He draws from 2 Timothy 2:2, stressing that passing on the gospel requires entrusting it to men who are not only faithful but also full of faith. Ultimately, the message is that true faith is cultivated through brokenness, drawing parallels to Isaiah 53 to counter the devil's narrative that suffering means God is against us.

The "Narrow-Minded" Church - Santosh Poonen
Santosh Poonen · Aug 27, 2014 · 39m
The speaker distinguishes between earthly and heavenly narrow-mindedness, arguing that true spiritual understanding requires becoming 'zero-minded' by giving up one's own way of thinking to receive God's thoughts. He uses Matthew 7 to contrast the 'narrow gate' leading to life with the 'broad way' leading to destruction, warning believers to discern the true path from false teachings, which he identifies by examining the 'fruit' of the teaching and life.

The Path To Perfection - Santosh Poonen
Santosh Poonen · Aug 20, 2014 · 20m
The speaker explores the book of Hebrews, noting its systematic exaltation of Jesus Christ as the forerunner into the new covenant. He emphasizes that the greatest pursuit in Christian life is Jesus himself, rather than other spiritual gifts or knowledge. The book builds to the conclusion that the most precious reality is the body of Christ—the local church—where believers find the presence of Jesus.

Santosh Poonen · Feb 21, 2014 · 26m
The sermon emphasizes that Christians must move beyond being superficial, 'cardboard cutouts' to become 'three-dimensional' believers. This depth is achieved by diligently cultivating faith, hope, and love, which build like a crescendo. By actively pursuing these virtues, believers will serve God's purpose in their generation and achieve an abundant entrance into the eternal kingdom.

7.Love (Part 2) - Santosh Poonen
Santosh Poonen · Feb 21, 2014 · 41m
The speaker emphasizes that love is a discipline toward God, drawing a parallel between Newton's third law of motion and spiritual life. He argues that the depth of one's love for God is proportional to the magnitude of sin one has been forgiven. True love, therefore, is the equal and opposite reaction to the grace received through forgiveness.

3.Faith (Part 2) - Santosh Poonen
Santosh Poonen · Feb 21, 2014 · 53m
Faith is fundamentally defined as dependence on God, enabling us to face seemingly impossible situations through Him. The speaker emphasizes that just as a building requires a strong, unseen foundation, our spiritual life must prioritize foundational elements like reading God's word, fellowship, and prayer over visible ministries. He outlines five faith foundations, starting with the affirmation that God is who He says He is, which must be maintained in daily life, not just on Sunday.

2.Faith (Part 1) - Santosh Poonen
Santosh Poonen · Feb 21, 2014 · 53m
The central message is that faith is fundamentally a dependence on God, which is described as a mystery that cannot be grasped by logic or science. The speaker emphasizes that without faith, it is impossible to please God, making it the most crucial element for a Christian life. He uses the analogy of rock climbing to illustrate that faith is knowing who and what one has anchored to, regardless of the falls or struggles encountered.

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.
