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.

My Heroes - Sunil Poonen (Teens Meeting 16th November 2024)
Sunil Poonen · Nov 20, 2024 · 39m
The speaker discusses the concept of heroes, warning that idolizing worldly figures can be dangerous because we tend to emulate them. He uses a hypothetical scenario of a severe accident to illustrate how our heroes shift to those who genuinely save our lives. Spiritually, he concludes that the true hero is Jesus Christ, who saves us through sacrificial love, contrasting this with merely admiring talent or skill.

The speaker encourages the audience to fix their eyes on Jesus as the ultimate example of endurance, drawing parallels between Jesus's life and the lives of godly men like Brother Yan. He emphasizes that the key to enduring and living a life of Christ-likeness is allowing the Holy Spirit to work within, leading to a life controlled by the love of Christ, much like Paul's example.

You Want Blessing Or More Blessing? - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Nov 15, 2024 · 16m
The speaker emphasizes that while it is natural to always want to receive, true spiritual fulfillment comes from giving. Drawing from Paul's example in Ephesus and Jesus' teaching, he stresses that it is more blessed to give than to receive. To receive more from God, believers must first develop the habit of giving what they have been blessed with, whether it is spiritual knowledge or practical wisdom.

Some Practical Instructions For A Godly Life - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Nov 15, 2024 · 1h 14m
The speaker emphasizes that a godly life requires constant vigilance, as standards of faith tend to lower over time, necessitating continuous teaching. He draws from Acts 20, noting that Paul focused on how he lived among the elders rather than just what he preached, emphasizing selfless living and the blessing of giving. Ultimately, the message warns against the insatiable desires of things like the grave, the barren womb, the earth, and fire, urging a focus on giving rather than receiving.

True Spiritual Progress - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Nov 15, 2024 · 2m 34s
True spiritual progress is defined by prioritizing others before oneself, echoing the principle of 'Jesus first, others next, yourself last.' The speaker emphasizes that Christian leaders and members have a responsibility to guide and protect the younger members of the church, especially those who lack godly parental guidance. He also cautions against joining the church solely for the benefit of one's children, stressing selfless giving.

Seek To Have A Shepherd's Heart In The Church - Santosh Poonen
Santosh Poonen · Nov 14, 2024 · 15m
The central message is that Christian life requires having the heart of a shepherd—a deep, active care for the needs of others, rather than focusing on personal comfort or status. Jesus felt compassion for the crowds, and this compassion should motivate believers to serve others, even if it involves inconvenience. True membership is demonstrated by this selfless care and willingness to minister to those in need.

Our Vision (CFC)
CFC Messages · Nov 13, 2024 · 9m
CFC's core vision is to spread the truths of discipleship—knowing God as Father, walking like Jesus, and relying on the Holy Spirit—to every church group in India. This involves making every member a true disciple who loves Jesus above all else, obeying Christ's commands, and actively engaging in evangelism. The movement emphasizes radical commitment to God over money, adherence to New Covenant standards, and building strong, independent local church fellowships.

1.Jesus Did Not Seek His Own | The Real Jesus | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Oct 4, 2024 · 59m
The central message is a warning against accepting a counterfeit version of Jesus, arguing that the devil deceives people by presenting a Jesus that deviates from the biblical standard. The speaker emphasizes that true Christianity requires a return to the simplicity and purity found in the real Jesus, contrasting this with worldly desires for a Jesus who permits a comfortable life. Following Jesus demands radical commitment, including hating one's own life and forsaking possessions.

The Cross Separates Us From The World - Abraham Plammootil
Abraham Plammootil · Oct 1, 2024 · 40m
The central message is that following Christ requires a radical separation from the world's values and desires, symbolized by taking up the cross. This separation is necessary because the world's system—defined by the lust of the flesh, eyes, and pride—is temporary and leads back to dust. True life and victory are found by focusing on God's will through faith, which empowers believers to resist the strong pull of worldly attachments.

He deeply analyzes Mary's submission and praise in Luke chapter 1, highlighting that God favors the humble. Furthermore, he points to the example of Mary treasuring everything in her heart and the general call to live with profound humility, mirroring Jesus' example.

The Importance Of Fellowship | ಅನ್ಯೋನ್ಯತೆಯ ಪ್ರಾಮುಖ್ಯತೆ | Zac Poonen | Kannada
Zac Poonen · Sep 16, 2024 · 44m
The sermon emphasizes that true fellowship (ananyonyate) is not merely social comfort or superficial connection, but a deep reality rooted in understanding the New Covenant established by Christ. The speaker warns against hypocrisy, urging believers to live authentically before God rather than performing for people. Genuine fellowship must first be established with the Father and the Son, as this foundational relationship supports all other relationships.

How To Show Our Gratitude To The Lord - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Sep 5, 2024 · 25m
The speaker emphasizes that true gratitude to Christ is not merely wanting to go to heaven, but actively living a life of devotion to Him on Earth. He warns against spiritual complacency, urging listeners to follow the 'ancient way' taught by the Apostles—which involves daily self-denial and taking up the cross. The core message is that while salvation is by grace, it requires actively sowing to the Spirit, which is the path to finding true rest from anxiety and fear.

God's Ways With His Children - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Sep 4, 2024 · 59m
The speaker argues that human understanding of God's ways is often flawed because we try to balance truth in isolated areas, leading to imbalance in areas like evangelism and discipleship. He emphasizes that God's ways are vastly different from ours, citing Isaiah 55:8-9. A key point is that failure is not a sign of a weak Christian, but rather an essential part of spiritual education, as demonstrated throughout scripture with figures like Noah and Peter.

Breaking Of Bread - For Those Who Walk In The Light - Charles Banna
Charles Banna · Sep 2, 2024 · 29m
Jesus used the Passover meal to teach his disciples about profound humility and service, exemplified by washing their feet. He taught that true discipleship requires us to humble ourselves, set aside self-importance, and restore broken fellowship with others. Breaking bread together signifies entering into a covenant of loyalty and faithfulness within the body of Christ.

A Privilege - Fellowship Of His Sufferings- John Pereira
John Pereira · Sep 2, 2024 · 44m
The speaker emphasizes the blessing of God's Word and the Holy Spirit, which provide clarity and purpose for life. He urges believers to cleanse themselves from the filthiness of both flesh and spirit to align with God's priorities. Drawing from Paul's writings, the message highlights that true discipleship involves counting all worldly values as loss for the surpassing value of knowing Christ, a process that requires embracing the suffering and following the example of Christ's humility.

A Spirit-Controlled Tongue - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Aug 30, 2024 · 1h 0m
The speaker emphasizes that the control of the tongue is the ultimate test of one's spirituality, drawing parallels between the tongues of fire at Pentecost and the warning against uncontrolled speech. He argues that faith without works, particularly the work of controlling one's speech, renders one's entire religion worthless, comparing it to a body without a spirit. The message urges listeners to guard their tongues, as they are the most important instrument the Holy Spirit intends to use for effective witness.

The Blessed Path Of Suffering - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Aug 29, 2024 · 1h 3m
The speaker warns against spiritual colorblindness, cautioning that many Christians fail to discern the essential differences between the gospel of the Old Covenant and the New Covenant, or between what is divine and what is merely human. He uses Isaiah 53 to illustrate the true servant of the Lord—one who suffers quietly—contrasting this with superficial displays of piety. Furthermore, he emphasizes that true spiritual relationship with God is evidenced not just by avoiding sin, but by accepting loving rebuke and discipline from the Lord.

The Importance Of Fellowship - Zac Poonen (Extracted)
Zac Poonen · Aug 20, 2024 · 25m
The speaker emphasizes that true Christian fellowship is fundamentally different from worldly friendship and requires a deep connection with God the Father and Jesus Christ. He warns against hypocrisy, urging listeners to be genuinely open before God rather than merely 'acting' spiritual. Ultimately, genuine fellowship flows from a primary, strong relationship with Christ, which then strengthens horizontal relationships with others.

The Distinctives of The New Covenant Church - Charles Banna
Charles Banna · Aug 5, 2024 · 55m
The speaker emphasizes that Christian life requires continuous growth, drawing nourishment from God's infallible Word, not just accepting salvation. He critiques many churches for only preaching a partial gospel, neglecting the full scope of discipleship, which includes baptizing and diligently teaching others to observe all of Christ's commandments. Furthermore, he stresses that true salvation requires both belief and baptism, and that repentance must always precede faith.

Breaking Bread Meaningfully - Charles Banna
Charles Banna · Jul 29, 2024 · 30m
The passage recounts Jesus washing the disciples' feet during the Passover meal, symbolizing the cleansing of sin.

The message stresses humility and service, noting that those who refuse this cleansing or service have no part with him.

CFC Messages · Jul 24, 2024 · 49m
The sermon emphasizes that following Christ requires bearing reproach, drawing parallels from Hebrews 13 and Joshua 5. The speaker argues that Jesus endured reproach throughout his life, even from his own family, to sanctify believers. Believers should embrace this reproach as a sign of discipleship and gratitude for the cleansing power of Christ.

Be Violent In Seeking God's Kingdom | தேவனுடைய இராஜ்யத்தை தேடுவதில் பலவந்தம் பண்ணுவோம் | Victor
CFC Messages · Jul 24, 2024 · 52m
The sermon contrasts the world's pursuit of earthly kingdoms—defined by honor, riches, and pleasure—with the Kingdom of Heaven, which requires a violent pursuit. While the world encourages violence to attain earthly goals, inheriting the Kingdom of Heaven requires meekness, which the speaker argues is insufficient without a forceful commitment. The speaker warns against being deceived by worldly attractions, whether in relationships or spiritual pursuits, emphasizing that one must be aggressive and determined in seeking God's Kingdom.
