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.

CFC Messages · Jan 16, 2020 · 1m 9s
When confusion arises in the church, the speaker advises young people to defer to the older brothers or established leadership to handle the situation. Instead of taking direct action, the best approach is to approach an elder brother in humility and seek counsel on what steps to take. The church's internal issues are not solely the responsibility of the youth.

Seek For Fellowship - With Your Family And Your Church - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jun 5, 2019 · 33m
The speaker emphasizes that true Christian life requires more than individual piety; it demands active fellowship within a local church. Using the analogy of Ezekiel's bones, he distinguishes between a mere gathering (congregation), a supportive group (club), and a true church, which is animated by the Holy Spirit and connected to the Head (Christ). A genuine church functions like a unified army, where every member is connected to Christ and to one another, demonstrating mutual care and purpose.

Ian Robson · Mar 18, 2019 · 40m
The sermon centers on recognizing "the things that make for peace," drawing from Jesus' words in Luke 19:41-44. The speaker emphasizes that these things are revealed by God during a personal visitation, and failing to recognize this visit leads to spiritual blindness. He encourages the congregation to remain attentive to God's presence, recognizing it in personal struggles, family life, and the church's calling, rather than becoming preoccupied with the sins of others.

Ian Robson · Mar 18, 2019 · 1h 15m

He draws parallels between Eve, whose name means 'life,' and the essential role women play in bringing life into a structure, comparing the home to a sacred space. Ultimately, he encourages women to recognize that their hard work, whether in the home or in ministry, is recognized by God and should be done wholeheartedly.

Breaking Of Bread - A Celebration - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Dec 13, 2018 · 16m
The speaker emphasizes that Christian gatherings, like breaking bread, should always be marked by a spirit of celebration because of the resurrection of Jesus. He contrasts the initial disciples' gloom before the resurrection with the joy of the early church, urging listeners to live with the hope that nothing God cannot solve. True gloom should only exist over unconfessed sin, unresolved conflict, or unaccepted correction, not over general life circumstances.

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).

Presenting The Church As A Virgin To Christ - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Aug 17, 2018 · 1h 0m
The central message is that the ultimate goal of ministry is to present the church as a pure virgin to Christ, drawing from 2 Corinthians 11:2. The speaker emphasizes that this requires the elder to bear a deep, protective burden, similar to Abraham's servant protecting Rebecca. He warns against spiritual deception, particularly the worship of a 'another Jesus' who is not fully God and fully man, and discusses the mystery of Christ and the church becoming one flesh, contrasting this with the spirit of harlotry and the Antichrist's deception.

Ian Robson · Aug 6, 2018 · 49m

He emphasizes that God's call is for the church to remain vigilant, recognizing that God's worship and honor are global, not limited to one place. The central message is a call to maintain a 'hidden life' with God, ensuring that the spiritual gifts and knowledge received do not lead to spiritual sleepiness.

CFC Messages · Sep 12, 2017 · 53m
The central message is that the Church is not a physical building but the Body of Christ, built by Jesus.

Every member, regardless of visible gifts, is essential for the body to work in unity and love.

Charles Banna · Jun 23, 2017 · 53m

Charles Banna · May 26, 2017 · 1h 10m

transcribingThe Difference between a Congregation and a Church - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Mar 8, 2017 · 1h 27m
The speaker distinguishes between a mere congregation and what constitutes a true church. A congregation is simply a gathering of people, but a church is defined by its spiritual reality and commitment to Christ. The core difference lies in the spiritual life and mission that binds the members together.
