Zac Poonen · 9m · CFC Daily Devotions

THE TRUTH SHALL SET YOU FREE: 6.Freedom In Our Bodies - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jul 21, 2016 · 1h 33m
The sermon explores the concept of freedom in the body, drawing parallels between the Old Testament Tabernacle and the believer's body as a temple of the Holy Spirit. It emphasizes that true worship in the New Covenant involves dedicating one's entire self—including eyes, senses, and body—to God, moving beyond mere lip service or material offerings. The speaker stresses that we must recognize our bodies as God's temple and dedicate them fully to Him.

THE TRUTH SHALL SET YOU FREE: 5.Freedom For Youth - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jul 21, 2016 · 1h 22m
The sermon emphasizes that to enter the Kingdom of God, one must approach it with the purity and simplicity of a child, rather than relying on intellectual knowledge or worldly status. Jesus taught that God looks at the heart, not the head, suggesting that our hearts become soiled by the world, regardless of our age or religious standing. True renewal requires a childlike humility and receptivity.

THE TRUTH SHALL SET YOU FREE: 4.Freedom From Pride - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jul 21, 2016 · 1h 15m
True freedom comes from recognizing and shedding the pride, preconceived notions, and cultural biases absorbed from childhood and local churches. To achieve this, one must study the Word of God with deep reverence, understanding that the full truth is found not just in isolated verses, but in the balance between scriptures. Furthermore, believers must resist the temptation to preach or live life based on the approval of people rather than the pure truth of Christ.

THE TRUTH SHALL SET YOU FREE: 3.Freedom From The Law - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jul 21, 2016 · 1h 30m
The sermon emphasizes that true freedom comes from understanding the difference between the Law and the grace found in Jesus Christ. The speaker warns against 'false grace,' which misunderstands God's grace as a license to sin, contrasting it with the true grace described in Scripture. He urges the congregation to approach the Word with an open mind to discern the genuine message of God.

THE TRUTH SHALL SET YOU FREE: 2.Freedom From Insecurity - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jul 21, 2016 · 1h 28m
The central message is that knowing the Father loves us as much as He loved Jesus (John 17:23) provides freedom from insecurity. The speaker emphasizes that the Bible contains answers to every life problem, and this verse encapsulates the profound truth of God's unwavering love for believers. This divine love assures us that even when facing threats or uncertainty, God's care is constant and protective.

THE TRUTH SHALL SET YOU FREE: 1.Freedom From Sin - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jul 21, 2016 · 1h 5m
The speaker emphasizes that the Bible is the sole, authoritative word of God, contrasting it with teachings from parents or established churches. He recounts his personal journey from an Orthodox background to realizing the necessity of being 'born again' through the Bible. The central message is that true knowledge of God's truth, including warnings about hell and the path to salvation, comes only from reading and believing the Bible, as exemplified by the rich man's conversation with Abraham in Luke 16.

Zac Poonen · May 25, 2016 · 25m
The sermon emphasizes that peacemaking is a defining characteristic of a true son of God, citing Jesus' teaching and passages like Matthew 5 and Philippians 2. The speaker argues that pursuing peace requires a willingness to die to self, refusing to engage in quarrels or disputes, even when it means foregoing the chance to 'win' an argument. Ultimately, this pursuit of peace, trusting in God's sovereignty, leads to a life pleasing to the Lord.

All That Jesus Taught (Bible Study – 12 of 80) - Zac Poonen (with Romanian Subtitles)
Zac Poonen · May 20, 2016 · 26m
The sermon emphasizes that fulfilling the Great Commission requires understanding everything Jesus taught, particularly the attitudes described in the Sermon on the Mount. True discipleship demands a desperate hunger and thirst for righteousness, which is fundamentally different from worldly desires for comfort or wealth. This deep seeking of God with all one's heart is what leads to a truly satisfying Christian life.

All That Jesus Taught (Bible Study – 11 of 80) - Zac Poonen (with Romanian Subtitles)
Zac Poonen · May 20, 2016 · 25m
The sermon focuses on the teachings of Jesus, particularly the Sermon on the Mount, emphasizing that these teachings are vital for true discipleship. The speaker highlights the concept of being 'poor in spirit,' illustrating it by comparing it to a beggar who is constantly aware of his daily physical needs. This spiritual poverty means approaching God daily, recognizing one's constant need for God's wisdom and grace to receive the blessings of the Kingdom of Heaven.

All That Jesus Taught (Bible Study – 9 of 80) - Zac Poonen (with Romanian Subtitles)
Zac Poonen · May 20, 2016 · 25m
The central message is that true discipleship requires actively following Jesus' commands, rather than merely possessing head knowledge of scripture. The speaker emphasizes that making people disciples and teaching them to obey is paramount, and this process requires following Christ personally, not just studying the Bible. Being a 'fisher of men' means leading people from the 'water' (the world) into the 'kingdom of heaven' (a new environment).

All That Jesus Taught (Bible Study – 8 of 80) - Zac Poonen (with Romanian Subtitles)
Zac Poonen · May 20, 2016 · 25m
The speaker emphasizes that the Great Commission requires Christians to teach everyone 'every single thing' Jesus commanded, going beyond mere conversion to true discipleship. He draws heavily on Jesus' example of emptying himself of divine privileges—such as immunity to temptation or fatigue—to become fully relatable to humanity. This self-emptying was necessary so that Jesus could truly model a life that allows us to follow Him, especially in overcoming temptation.

All That Jesus Taught (Bible Study – 7 of 80) - Zac Poonen (with Romanian Subtitles)
Zac Poonen · May 20, 2016 · 26m
The speaker emphasizes that Christians must diligently teach everything Jesus commanded, noting that a lack of this teaching leads to conflict, sin, and a poor testimony within the church. He traces the core message from John the Baptist—to repent and turn from earthly focus to the coming Kingdom of Heaven—through Jesus' ministry and the outpouring of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost. Ultimately, the Kingdom of God is defined not by earthly prosperity or physical healing, but by the righteousness of God imputed to us through Christ and manifested internally by the Holy Spirit.

All That Jesus Taught (Bible Study – 6 of 80) - Zac Poonen (with Romanian Subtitles)
Zac Poonen · May 20, 2016 · 26m
The sermon emphasizes that the Great Commission has two parts: evangelism and teaching others to live according to everything Jesus commanded. The speaker uses the analogy of a carpenter's shop to illustrate that merely having many 'legs' (converts) without building 'tables' (disciples who live right) leaves the work incomplete. A key warning is given against the sin of pride and the desire for human admiration, noting that the only one to be worshipped is the Lord God, as Jesus taught.

All That Jesus Taught (Bible Study – 5 of 80) - Zac Poonen (with Romanian Subtitles)
Zac Poonen · May 20, 2016 · 25m
The central message is that discipleship requires believers to first *do* what Jesus commanded before they can teach it. The speaker emphasizes that true teaching must be rooted in personal, lived experience, warning against hypocrisy in ministry. He uses examples from the Great Commission, the Gospel of Luke, and the story of Cornelius to illustrate that one must practice what they preach.

All That Jesus Taught (Bible Study – 4 of 80) - Zac Poonen (with Romanian Subtitles)
Zac Poonen · May 20, 2016 · 25m
The sermon argues that fulfilling the Great Commission requires equal emphasis on both evangelism (reaching the lost) and discipleship (teaching them to do all Jesus commanded). The speaker uses the analogy of food digestion to illustrate that evangelism is merely putting food in the mouth, while discipleship—the work of teaching and nurturing—is the necessary process of digestion that transforms a convert into a functioning member of the body of Christ. Therefore, all ministries are equally vital, as no single part of the body can function without the others.

All That Jesus Taught (Bible Study – 3 of 80) - Zac Poonen (with Romanian Subtitles)
Zac Poonen · May 20, 2016 · 25m
The speaker emphasizes that Christian discipleship requires more than just belief or baptism; it demands actively learning and doing everything Jesus commanded. He contrasts merely teaching Jesus's teachings with teaching people *to do* them, using the analogy of teaching swimming. The core message is that true discipleship involves a commitment to obey all commandments, including the seemingly minor ones, as God values comprehensive obedience.

Zac Poonen · May 20, 2016 · 25m
The sermon emphasizes that fulfilling the Great Commission requires making disciples, not just getting people baptized. True discipleship demands a total commitment to Christ, akin to a marriage vow, and this commitment must be clearly presented before baptism. Baptism is a symbolic act representing the death of the old self, and if this foundational choice to die to one's own will is missing, the ritual is meaningless. Furthermore, the baptism must correctly acknowledge the Triune God: the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

All That Jesus Taught (Bible Study – 1 of 80) - Zac Poonen (with Romanian Subtitles)
Zac Poonen · May 20, 2016 · 26m
The speaker argues that Christians often focus too heavily on the first part of the Great Commission (evangelism) while neglecting the second, which is making disciples (Matthew 28:19). He outlines two key conditions for discipleship: first, having a supreme love for Christ that surpasses all earthly relationships, and second, daily self-denial, symbolized by carrying one's own cross. True discipleship requires a commitment to Christ that permeates every aspect of life.

The Root Of Sin Is Self-Centredness - Zac Poonen (with Romanian Subtitles)
Zac Poonen · May 20, 2016 · 34m
The core sin is not specific actions but self-centeredness, which is the root that must be addressed for true salvation. Holiness is achieved when Christ becomes the center of one's life, rather than the self. Repentance, therefore, means turning from a life centered on self to one centered on Jesus Christ.

Christ Died For Evil People - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · May 14, 2016 · 20m
The sermon focuses on the command, "Do this in remembrance of me," during the Lord's Supper, emphasizing that it requires more than mere theological understanding. True participation means embodying Jesus's willingness to die for those who hated or despised him, mirroring his ultimate love for sinners. The speaker urges the congregation to move beyond admiring Christ's love to actively desiring to live that sacrificial, forgiving attitude.

True Christians in the Workplace (Impulse für Christsein im Beruf) - Sanjay Poonen (German)
Sanjay Poonen · May 9, 2016 · 57m
The sermon explores how Christians can authentically live out their faith in the workplace, using metaphors like salt and light. The speaker argues that Christian life should not be confined to Sunday services but must permeate all areas, including career and daily work. True discipleship requires a complete surrender of one's mind, heart, and strength to God, rather than compartmentalizing faith between professional and spiritual life.
