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.

Being A Witness To Satan | The Missing Messages in Today's Christianity | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Nov 23, 2020 · 1h 9m
The speaker argues that understanding God's mysteries, particularly those found in the New Testament, requires spiritual understanding rather than mere intellectual ability. He draws parallels between the Old Testament's plain laws and the New Testament's 'mystery,' which can only be grasped in the spirit through the Holy Spirit. True understanding, therefore, requires genuine humility, a quality Jesus associated with children, which is necessary to dwell in God's presence.

Don't Be Afraid - Satan Has Been Defeated | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Nov 3, 2020 · 58m
The speaker discusses the shift in spiritual warfare from the Old Covenant to the New Covenant, emphasizing that believers today live in a time when Satan has already been defeated through Christ's sacrifice. He interprets Ephesians 6:12 to mean our struggle is against spiritual forces, not merely flesh and blood. The central message is that because we live post-Calvary, we are equipped by the Holy Spirit to overcome spiritual attacks, leading to a victory where Satan will eventually fear the believer.

Living The Christ-Life In Your Family First | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jul 22, 2020 · 1h 36m
The central message is that Christian life, particularly within the family, must reflect the life of Christ, which begins by looking into the heart of God. The speaker emphasizes that the gospel must first work in one's own home before it can be given to others. He points to the New Covenant blessings—being filled with the Holy Spirit and resisting the devil—and notes that the instructions for family life are placed directly between these two commands, indicating that a Spirit-filled life is necessary for healthy family relationships.

Learn From The Babies - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jul 13, 2020 · 20m
The sermon warns against the subtle danger of pride, which can even disguise itself as humility. Drawing from Matthew 18, the speaker emphasizes that true humility, exemplified by a little child, is a complete lack of pretense or self-consciousness. Genuine humility is internal—a matter of one's thoughts about oneself and others—and requires the help of the Holy Spirit, contrasting sharply with the artificial performance of humility.

Zac Poonen · Jul 13, 2020 · 3m 27s
The speaker urges believers to have a desperate passion to be filled with the Holy Spirit, questioning their contentment with a defeated Christian life.

The Way To Growth In Christlikeness | Part-7 | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jul 9, 2020 · 1h 1m
The speaker continues the study of growth in Christ's likeness from the Sermon on the Mount, addressing various wrong attitudes like anger, lust, and lying. He emphasizes that interpreting Jesus' words, such as 'turn the other cheek,' requires understanding the spirit, not just the literal text, and that Jesus himself is the ultimate interpreter. The central message is that keeping the Sermon on the Mount's commands, especially loving enemies, is impossible through human strength and requires being filled with the Holy Spirit.

God Fills Ordinary, Thirsty People | Be Filled With The Holy Spirit | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jul 8, 2020 · 49m
The speaker argues that God bypasses the great leaders of the world and religious scholars, choosing instead to work through ordinary people, as exemplified by John the Baptist. He warns against spending life's time on worldly pursuits ('wood, hay, and straw') instead of eternal matters, emphasizing that true spiritual fullness comes not from intellectual study but from a heart-level reception of the Holy Spirit. The core message is that being filled with the Spirit is an immersive experience, not merely an intellectual understanding.

Zac Poonen · Jun 18, 2020 · 59m
The speaker emphasizes that remaining under God's grace prevents sin from having dominion, citing Romans 6:14. He warns that pride is the primary reason for falling out of grace and advises asking oneself where one acted out of pride. For persistent sins, the standard should be what Jesus would do; anything contrary to that is sin. Ultimately, true spiritual fullness and overcoming life require wholehearted seeking of the Holy Spirit.

Zac Poonen · Jun 17, 2020 · 55m
The speaker emphasizes the critical difference between historical accounts and doctrinal teachings in the Bible, warning against deriving doctrine from historical sections. He stresses the need for consistency in scripture study, using examples from Acts and the Gospels to illustrate how picking and choosing verses leads to doctrinal confusion.

Zac Poonen · Apr 16, 2020 · 2h 8m

Bringing Heaven Into Our Home | நமது குடும்பத்தில் பரலோகத்தை கொண்டு வருதல் | Zac Poonen | Tamil
Zac Poonen · Apr 12, 2020 · 54m
The central message is that believers can experience a 'heaven on earth' right now, not just after death. This heavenly atmosphere is achieved by living lives filled with the presence of Jesus, which is facilitated by being filled with the Holy Spirit. Key practices include controlling one's speech (avoiding gossip and complaining) and dedicating one's entire life and resources to God.

Zac Poonen Illustrations - A Sensitive Conscience
Zac Poonen · Apr 1, 2020 · 1m 29s
The speaker uses the analogy of a weighing machine to illustrate spiritual growth, noting that initially, only major sins weighed heavily on the conscience. True spiritual growth is marked by the conscience becoming sensitive enough to be convicted by small things, such as raising one's voice at home. This increased sensitivity and willingness to apologize are signs of being in tune with the Holy Spirit.

Zac Poonen Illustrations - The Blessing Of Abraham
Zac Poonen · Mar 31, 2020 · 2m 13s
The central message is that the blessing of Abraham, which promises that all families of the earth will be blessed through one, is received when a person is filled with the Holy Spirit. This fullness is not primarily about speaking in tongues or physical healing, but rather equipping the believer to be a blessing to every family and person they encounter. The speaker compares this blessing to a noticeable, heavenly perfume that permeates every place the believer goes.

Zac Poonen Illustrations - The Factory Worker Who Messed Up
Zac Poonen · Mar 31, 2020 · 1m 11s
The speaker uses the analogy of a factory worker who repeatedly messes up machines, culminating in a major mistake. Instead of being fired, the owner appoints him as a general manager with a much higher salary. This illustrates that God's grace, specifically being filled with the Holy Spirit, is given to people at their lowest point, not just to those who deserve it.

Zac Poonen Illustrations - Life under the law and under the Holy Spirit (Tamil Translation)
Zac Poonen · Mar 29, 2020 · 2m 15s
The sermon emphasizes the believer's need to live under the guidance and power of the Holy Spirit rather than adhering strictly to the law. It contrasts the limitations of legalism with the freedom found in Spirit-led living. The core message is a call to walk by the Spirit's power.

Fulfilling God's Plan - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Mar 20, 2020 · 1h 27m
The central message is that true understanding of scripture does not come from human cleverness or academic study, but requires divine revelation, which is often facilitated by the Holy Spirit. The speaker emphasizes that one must approach the Bible with the humility of a child, contrasting this with the intellectual pride of those who rely solely on their own intelligence. He cites Jesus' words about hidden truths being revealed to the humble rather than the clever.

All Things Work for Our Good - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Mar 20, 2020 · 1h 16m
The sermon emphasizes that true love for Jesus Christ is demonstrated by keeping His commandments, citing John 15. It draws a parallel between keeping commandments and being filled with the Holy Spirit, arguing that both are vital commands found in Ephesians 5. The speaker stresses that being filled with the Spirit is not merely about outward signs like speaking in tongues, but requires a genuine, internal disposition of constant thanksgiving and obedience.

Our Goodness Comes From God Alone - Charles Banna
Charles Banna · Mar 3, 2020 · 36m
The central message is that all good works and achievements are ultimately derived from God alone, not from human effort or boasting. The speaker uses examples from scripture, such as David's realization and Paul's conversion, to illustrate that true goodness comes through acknowledging one's depravity and relying on the grace and power of the Holy Spirit. The sermon emphasizes living life for the glory of God.

Freedom From All Condemnation - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Feb 28, 2020 · 1h 3m
The speaker contrasts the Old Covenant, which is described as a 'Ministry of condemnation,' with the New Covenant, which is a 'Ministry of righteousness.' He emphasizes that believers should live under the grace of the New Covenant, which means accepting the righteousness of Christ rather than falling into self-condemnation. True conviction comes from the Holy Spirit, but this must not lead to condemning oneself or others, as this behavior mimics those who worship false gods.

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.

40 Q&A_25. What is meant by saying that God is a Trinity?
CFC Messages · Jan 17, 2020 · 4m 5s
The speaker addresses the difficulty of understanding the doctrine of the Trinity, asserting that God is three persons (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit) in one Godhead. He uses analogies to explain that while human understanding struggles with this concept, the biblical revelation through Jesus Christ confirms it. The discussion also touches upon the practice of baptism, emphasizing that naming the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit in the name of Jesus Christ is the correct understanding.
