Zac Poonen · 9m · CFC Daily Devotions

SO GREAT A SALVATION: 3.The Power Of True Grace - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Sep 22, 2015 · 1h 12m
The sermon emphasizes that true grace is more than just forgiveness; it requires understanding the profound cost of sin and the sacrifice of Christ. The speaker warns against seeking the approval of men, calling it idolatry, and stresses that sin is far more serious than minor offenses. Ultimately, believers must grasp the immense value of Christ's blood, recognizing that willfully sinning after knowing the truth is a grave matter.

SO GREAT A SALVATION: 2.Truth In Our Inner Life - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Sep 22, 2015 · 1h 1m
The speaker emphasizes that believers often neglect the greatness of salvation purchased by Christ, comparing it to leaving a vast inheritance and only using a small portion. He contrasts the true gospel preached by the Holy Spirit with mere psychological manipulation, urging believers to possess truth in their innermost being, as exemplified by David's realization of his own hypocrisy. True Christian life requires internal consistency, as children are often the most accurate judges of a parent's spiritual reality.

SO GREAT A SALVATION: 1.The Example of Godly Men - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Sep 22, 2015 · 59m
The speaker argues that many Christians have neglected the full scope of salvation, which involves more than just believing and being baptized. True discipleship requires following Jesus' teachings, which includes being taught to obey everything He commanded, such as loving enemies and practicing piety in secret. He emphasizes that the Great Commission has two parts: evangelism and making disciples, and that the promise of Christ's constant presence is conditional upon fulfilling the teaching and discipleship aspect.

An Immovable Life - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Sep 20, 2015 · 59m
The speaker emphasizes the importance of appreciating the community and the work done within the church, drawing parallels to Isaiah's promise of God's glory rising upon His people. He stresses that true spiritual maturity involves adopting the heart of a spiritual father—one who encourages and cares for others—rather than just possessing knowledge. Ultimately, the central message is that in the last days, knowing the Lord intimately is more crucial than biblical knowledge, and believers must commit to encouraging one another.

A Blameless Life - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Sep 18, 2015 · 52m
The central message is that true Christian life is governed by the two greatest commandments: loving God with your entire being (heart, soul, mind) and loving your neighbor as yourself. This law of love should guide decisions in all 'gray areas' of life, from personal choices to relationships. Furthermore, the speaker emphasizes that serving God includes diligently caring for one's family, as neglecting them is a greater violation than minor infractions.

Completing God's Plan For The Year - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Sep 18, 2015 · 35m
The sermon emphasizes that while our physical bodies decay day by day, the renewal of the inner self must be actively pursued through the Holy Spirit. Drawing parallels from Genesis and 2 Corinthians, the speaker urges the congregation to learn from past mistakes and commit to daily renewal. True daily renewal, according to the speaker, comes from taking up the cross daily, as taught by Jesus in Luke 9:23, rather than just adhering to routine spiritual practices.

5.Jesus Overcame In Weakness (Иисус победил в слабость) - Zac Poonen (Russian)
Zac Poonen · Sep 17, 2015 · 1h 1m
The sermon explains that the Old Testament serves as a shadow pointing toward fulfillment in the New Testament, using examples like the Sabbath and tithes to teach obedience to God. It emphasizes two key spiritual journeys: the Exodus from Egypt (representing freedom from sin/the world) and the subsequent departure from Babylon (representing freedom from legalism and empty traditions). True Christian life requires a complete separation from the world's systems, making the spiritual battle against Satan the primary focus.

4.How Jesus Served The Father (Как Иисус служил Отцу) - Zac Poonen (Russian)
Zac Poonen · Sep 17, 2015 · 1h 13m
The sermon emphasizes that true transformation into the image of Jesus requires understanding both His character and His service to the Father. Drawing parallels to how people become like the gods they worship, the speaker stresses the necessity of grounding faith solely in Scripture, rather than in the teachings of any single preacher. He encourages believers to adopt the diligent habit of testing all teachings against the Bible, mirroring the practice of the Bereans.

3.Jesus Humbled Himself (Иисус смирил Себя) - Zac Poonen (Russian)
Zac Poonen · Sep 17, 2015 · 1h 8m
The speaker discusses the difference between divine grace (благодать) and mere favor (милость), emphasizing that grace was present with Jesus from birth to death. He cautions against theological errors, such as quoting scripture out of context or relying on popular Christian songs/teachings that lack biblical foundation. The central message is that true reality involves aligning one's teaching and preaching with one's actual lived experience, mirroring Jesus' life, and recognizing that our greatest need is obedience to God's Word, not material possessions.

2.How Jesus Lived On Earth (Как Иисус жил на Земле) - Zac Poonen (Russian)
Zac Poonen · Sep 17, 2015 · 1h 14m
The speaker contrasts two types of holiness: the self-centered piety of the Pharisees, which focuses on outward observance, and the holiness of Jesus, which was characterized by an inability to ignore the deep spiritual need of others. True holiness, according to the speaker, compels one to care for those who lack what one possesses. He concludes by emphasizing that understanding Scripture correctly requires the guidance of the Holy Spirit, which removes the 'veil' of legalistic thinking that obscures true understanding.

1.Jesus Did Not Seek His Own (Иисус не искал своего) - Zac Poonen (Russian)
Zac Poonen · Sep 17, 2015 · 1h 2m
The central message is that many people today are following a false or 'other' Jesus, one that is appealing to worldly desires rather than the true, demanding Christ described in scripture. The speaker warns that those who deviate from the simplicity and purity of Christ's teachings, or who believe in a Jesus who promises worldly blessings without self-denial, are being deceived by the devil. True discipleship requires following Christ's radical call to deny self, which is the standard set by the Father.

A Good Conscience and Christs Return - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Sep 3, 2015 · 57m
The speaker urges believers to take their spiritual inheritance in Christ seriously, comparing their lack of diligence to treating money. He emphasizes that spiritual stagnation suggests God is not a primary focus, and true seeking of God leads to finding Him. Furthermore, he warns that believers must live lives that do not give occasion to the enemy to blaspheme, and he contrasts two groups at Christ's return: those who will be bold and those who will shrink away in shame.

Running To Win - Santosh Poonen
Sanji · Aug 21, 2015 · 50m
The speaker shares reflections on life's ups and downs, emphasizing that God can work through even the difficult times. He compares preaching to being a waiter bringing food from the kitchen, asserting that the ultimate goal is not the sermon itself, but leading people to encounter and serve the 'Chef'—Jesus Christ. The message encourages the audience to focus on the source of life and truth rather than just the delivery.

We Walk By Faith, Not By Sight - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Aug 2, 2015 · 47m
The central message is that Christians must walk by faith, not by what they see, drawing from 2 Corinthians 5:7. The speaker emphasizes that human senses and intellect can deceive us, citing examples like the sun's apparent path and the Earth's rotation. True belief comes from hearing and internalizing the Word of God, which requires divine revelation, as demonstrated by Peter's confession to Jesus.

Readiness For Christ's Return - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jul 13, 2015 · 1h 17m
The central message is that the true hope regarding Christ's second coming is not merely that Christ will return, but that believers will be transformed to be like Him. The speaker emphasizes that this 'double hope'—Christ's return *and* our conformity to His image—is the primary focus, surpassing concerns about earthly comforts or heavenly mansions. To live with this hope, believers must actively purify themselves daily, going beyond the cleansing provided by Christ's blood.

The Spirit-filled Church - Sanjay Poonen
Sanjay Poonen · Jul 7, 2015 · 54m
The speaker emphasizes that understanding what it means to be a 'spiritual church' requires deep study of scripture, like the Bereans. He draws parallels between the vision of the river in Ezekiel 47 and the life of the church, arguing that true spiritual fullness is found in the Word of God. The central message is that believers must continually return to scripture and remember that receiving power from the Holy Spirit, as promised in Acts 1:8, is essential for the church's life.

The Christ Life For The Self Life - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jul 3, 2015 · 46m
The central message is that true Christian life requires moving beyond merely confessing sins to embracing the 'Christ life'—a transformation empowered by the Holy Spirit. While the Old Covenant focused on the written Word, the New Covenant provides the Word made flesh (Jesus) and the power of the Spirit, enabling believers to be witnesses with their entire lives. This life involves being replaced by Christ, not just having sins forgiven.

All That Jesus Taught (Bible Study – 64 of 80) - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Apr 30, 2015 · 26m
The sermon emphasizes that true acceptance into God's kingdom comes through obedience and repentance, not mere religious activity or knowledge. Drawing from parables, the speaker argues that God is shifting His favor from Israel to the Church, and that the Church must bear this by producing spiritual fruit. Ultimately, the message stresses that believers must be broken by the Lord before they can be used for His purposes.

All That Jesus Taught (Bible Study – 80 of 80) - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Apr 22, 2015 · 25m
The sermon emphasizes that true discipleship and ministry must be founded on the authority given by Christ, not on the perceived 'need' in the world. The speaker contrasts those who go out of genuine submission to Christ's authority with those who act like tourists or are driven by need, warning that the latter often leads to burnout and bitterness. He concludes by stressing that the Great Commission requires going into all nations to preach the gospel, which is confirmed by signs and wonders.

Zac Poonen · Apr 22, 2015 · 25m
The speaker emphasizes that the resurrection of Jesus Christ is the most crucial event in human history, surpassing the focus on his birth or death. He details the unique nature of the resurrection body—one that was not limited by time or space—and contrasts it with other resurrections. Ultimately, the resurrection proves Jesus' divinity, conquering death and establishing the believer's righteousness before God.

Zac Poonen · Apr 22, 2015 · 25m
The speaker analyzes Jesus' life and ministry, emphasizing that his actions, even those performed by others (like the Roman soldiers dividing his garments), fulfilled Old Testament prophecy. The central message is that God has a detailed plan for every believer's life, just as He had for Jesus, and this plan is realized by constantly listening to the prompting of the Holy Spirit in every aspect of life.

Zac Poonen · Apr 22, 2015 · 24m
The sermon analyzes Jesus' teachings through his life and words, focusing on examples like Peter's denial and Jesus' silence before Pilate. The speaker emphasizes that true repentance must be directed only to God, not to religious leaders. Furthermore, he advises Christians to follow Jesus' example by remaining silent when falsely accused by fellow believers or religious figures.
