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.

The Tongue And The Fear Of God - Charles Banna
Charles Banna · Jul 12, 2023 · 53m
The central message emphasizes that the fear of the Lord is the fundamental beginning of wisdom and spiritual progress. The speaker draws heavily on Proverbs and the teachings of Jesus, warning that the tongue is a dangerous member of the body that can lead to great trouble. Ultimately, what comes out of the mouth reveals what is filled in the heart, and every careless word will be accounted for on the day of judgment.

Am I A Dry Bone Or Well-Watered Garden? - Ian Robson
Ian Robson · Jun 12, 2023 · 52m
The sermon uses Ezekiel 37 to compare the spiritual life to either a dry bone or a well-watered garden. The central message is that believers must actively seek and receive the 'word of the Lord'—a divine word that brings life, strength, and direction—not just the general word of God found in scripture. This word can be found daily through devotion, shared with others, and is vital for keeping the church spiritually alive and nourished.

Knowing Jesus In The Power Of His Resurrection - Ian Robson
Ian Robson · Jun 1, 2023 · 58m
The central message is the absolute necessity of believing in the physical resurrection of Jesus Christ, which is the core truth of the Gospel. The speaker argues that many Christian celebrations dilute this truth, and he warns against relying on religious symbols or doctrines (like the crucifix) rather than the reality of the risen Christ. True faith requires renouncing worldly systems and living by the testimony that Jesus conquered sin, death, and the devil through his resurrection.

Ian Robson · Apr 4, 2023 · 55m
The sermon draws from Malachi, emphasizing God's enduring love despite human backsliding and the need for a pure offering to Him. The speaker highlights that God's promise remains that His name will be great among the nations, especially for those who fear Him. Ultimately, the message encourages believers to focus on being among 'those who fear the Lord,' as they will be recorded in a 'book of remembrance' and belong to God.

How Not To Be Judged At The Final Judgment - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Mar 9, 2023 · 46m
The speaker warns that salvation depends on confessing sin as sin, rather than dismissing it as mere weakness, because only sin requires cleansing through repentance and asking for forgiveness. He emphasizes that true spiritual authority comes from quoting scripture, warning against preachers who rely on their own opinions rather than the Bible. Ultimately, he stresses that one must constantly test teachings against scripture to know the mind of God.

Knowing Jesus As Our Forerunner - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Mar 8, 2023 · 55m
The central message is that true Christian life comes not from merely knowing the Bible or hearing sermons, but from hearing Jesus speak directly through the Holy Spirit. The speaker emphasizes that God's primary communication today is through Christ, not through prophets or books alone. He advises believers to maintain absolute honesty with their conscience and to cultivate a deep, personal longing to hear Christ speak to their hearts.

Frequent Flyers In Rage Will Always Have Crash Landing - Charles Banna
Charles Banna · Jan 3, 2023 · 1h 8m
The sermon uses the story of Cain and Abel to teach that God regards the man before the offering, emphasizing that anger is not just a feeling but a deed of the flesh that can lead to sin and murder. The speaker advises that while anger is permitted, it must be controlled, urging listeners to address the root of their anger and to be quick to hear, slow to speak, and slow to anger, as taught by scripture.

Do You Not Know....... - Charles Banna
Charles Banna · Dec 15, 2022 · 50m
The speaker argues that the repetition in scripture, from Genesis to the Gospels, is intentional, designed to sink profound truths into the reader. He uses examples from the Gospels to show that even when Jesus spoke clearly about his suffering and resurrection, his disciples repeatedly failed to understand due to unbelief and hardness of heart. The core message is that understanding God's word requires more than just hearing; it requires a receptive heart.

Trusting God's promises and Dying to Self | LIVING A LIFE THAT PLEASES GOD | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Dec 1, 2022 · 1h 0m
The speaker emphasizes that the New Covenant relationship with God is deeply personal and inward, contrasting it with the outward focus of the Old Covenant. He stresses the importance of knowing God intimately as a Father, drawing assurance from 1 Corinthians 10:13, which promises that God will never allow a trial beyond one's ability, and that He will always provide a way of escape. Furthermore, he encourages believers to treat the promises in Scripture like checks, which must be redeemed and claimed in the

Zac Poonen · Oct 31, 2022 · 8m
The sermon uses the story of a mouse and a mousetrap to illustrate spiritual dangers. Just as the mice were warned away from the trap, the speaker warns listeners to be careful of people who lead them astray from God's word, comparing them to the trap.

Enduring In Love Until The End | 5. Love God And He Will Provide Your Needs - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Oct 25, 2022 · 36m
The speaker emphasizes that true spiritual growth requires diligent study of the Bible, warning against the laziness prevalent among many Christians. He cautions against the modern trend in some ministries where the pursuit of money overshadows genuine devotion to Christ, comparing this to the harlot's spirit. Ultimately, he stresses that a Christian must choose to serve only God, as no servant can serve both God and wealth.

Building Your Life On A Solid Foundation - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Sep 30, 2022 · 51m
The speaker argues that while the Bible is valuable, the most crucial element for the Christian life is being filled with the Holy Spirit, not mere knowledge of scripture. He draws from Matthew 11:25, emphasizing that God reveals truth to the humble, like babies, rather than those who are highly educated. True spiritual understanding comes through divine revelation, which changes one's life, unlike studying the Bible which can only puff up knowledge without transforming the heart.

Obedience to God is Better than Sacrifice - Charles Banna
Charles Banna · Sep 21, 2022 · 1h 11m
The passage from 1 Samuel 15 illustrates that obedience to God's direct commands is superior to ritualistic sacrifice. Samuel confronts King Saul for his disobedience, citing examples where Saul failed to follow God's will, such as when he offered sacrifices himself or when he spared valuable spoils from the Amalekites. The central message is encapsulated in the statement, "to obey is better than sacrifice," emphasizing that heart-felt obedience matters more than outward religious acts.

Charles Banna · Sep 21, 2022 · 47m
The sermon discusses the importance of a good conscience and sincere faith. It warns that a conscience can become hardened or seared, leading one astray if neglected. True faith, which is the evidence of things hoped for, is ignited by hearing God's Word and must be actively maintained by believing what God says, especially when doubts arise.

New Covenant Life in New Covenant Churches - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Sep 21, 2022 · 24m
The speaker argues that many modern church systems are like 'old wine skins'—structures that have lost their original fervor and are filled with traditions not found in God's Word. He contrasts this with the 'new wine skin' pattern found in the New Testament, emphasizing that proper church structure involves appointed elders, no salaried preachers, and adherence to apostolic teaching. Following this pattern requires following Paul's teachings alongside Jesus's, as both are necessary for a complete understanding of the New Covenant life.

Transformation - Transfiguration - Charles Banna
Charles Banna · Aug 24, 2022 · 41m
The sermon emphasizes that true Christian transformation is not superficial repair but a complete, radical change initiated by God, moving from the old self to a new creation in Christ. This transformation is achieved by presenting our bodies as a living, holy sacrifice and by actively renewing our minds through the Word of God, rather than conforming to the world's patterns. The process is likened to a butterfly emerging from a cocoon, symbolizing God's powerful work in us.

Knowing God the Father and His Values - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jul 11, 2022 · 41m
The speaker argues that humanity's distorted sense of values stems from choosing the 'knowledge of good and evil' over the 'tree of life,' which is represented by Jesus Christ. True understanding of God's values, leading to eternal life, is not found merely through deep scriptural knowledge or adherence to rituals, but through a personal relationship with Jesus. The speaker warns that valuing things highly in the world, such as money or even religious knowledge, can be detestable to God.

Are You Religious Or Spiritual? - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · May 19, 2022 · 1h 5m
The speaker distinguishes between being religious and being truly spiritual, using Psalm 119 to illustrate that God's word brings light and understanding to the simple. He warns that mere religiosity, like counterfeit currency, can lead to eternal loss, contrasting it with genuine spirituality. True spirituality requires understanding the eternal truths revealed through scripture, rather than just following external rules or human understanding.

Revelation Changes Our Life - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Apr 20, 2022 · 1m 49s
True understanding of scripture goes beyond mere knowledge or intellectual belief; it must become a personal revelation that fundamentally changes one's life. This transformation should affect one's attitudes toward sin, the world, money, and even enemies. Without this life change, all scriptural knowledge is ultimately useless.
