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.

God Has Prepared For Us His Presence And His Church - Ajay Chakravarthy
Ajay Chakravarthy · Sep 29, 2023 · 25m
The speaker discusses two major things God has prepared for those who love Him: the privilege of constant access to God's presence, symbolized by the tearing of the veil, and the building up of the Church. Regarding the Church, he emphasizes that Jesus valued the disciples who remained faithful through His trials, comparing them to precious living stones. True oneness and fellowship within the church require sacrifice, mirroring the cross.

After Baptism, What Next ? - Charles Banna
Charles Banna · Sep 28, 2023 · 56m
The speaker addresses those who have been baptized, emphasizing that it is only the beginning of the Christian life, not the end. He teaches that Christians need continuous strengthening through the Word and the Holy Spirit to live victoriously. The core message draws from Acts 2 and Matthew 1, highlighting that God saves us from sin until the Lord's return, and that Jesus promises to baptize believers with the Holy Spirit and fire, which is needed for boldness in witnessing.

The Family-Life God Has Prepared For Us - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Sep 28, 2023 · 1h 8m
The speaker argues that a glorious family life is a key aspect of the new covenant, unlike the old covenant where family life was considered unimportant. He contrasts the standards for elders in the New Covenant (requiring good household management) with the Old Covenant, emphasizing that Christian commitment must manifest in both public preaching and private home life. The message concludes by contrasting the old covenant call to 'come and hear' with the new covenant call to 'come and see.'

God Has Prepared A Table For Us - Vincent Wilson
Vincent Wilson · Sep 20, 2023 · 23m
The message emphasizes that God prepares a table for those who love Him, drawing parallels from scripture like Psalm 25 and Isaiah. Jesus seeks to dine with the humble and brokenhearted, contrasting this with the superficiality of worldly concerns. The core message is that true fellowship and receiving revelation come from spending dedicated time with Jesus, rather than being consumed by works or preparations.

Realizing Our True Purpose | 5.The Journey to Our Destination | Santosh Poonen
Santosh Poonen · Sep 15, 2023 · 10m
The central message is that life on Earth is an 'entrance exam' for eternity, which can only be passed by accepting Jesus's perfect life and resurrection. Believers must rely on the Holy Spirit's power to do God's will in all aspects of life, remembering that worldly achievements are temporary. True living involves being kind, merciful, and humble, all while trusting that God will work all circumstances together for good.

CFC Messages · Aug 31, 2023 · 16m
The sermon celebrates the enduring unity of the CFC Bangalore leadership over nearly 50 years, highlighting that true church strength comes from diverse leaders working together, much like Paul and Barnabas. The speaker emphasizes that the church's purpose is to make disciples through correction and truth, not just to gather converts. Maintaining unity, even amidst disagreements, is presented as a divine blessing that resists the devil's efforts to divide the body of Christ.

Santosh Poonen · Aug 31, 2023 · 24m
The speaker reflects on the enduring essence of his church community (CFC), noting that while physical aspects have changed, the core truth remains constant. He emphasizes that spiritual growth, or reaching greater heights, comes from allowing the foundational truths heard from the beginning to abide in one's heart. Ultimately, he stresses that eternity is the only thing that truly matters, urging the congregation to fix their focus on Jesus.

The Apostles Whom Jesus Chose - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Aug 24, 2023 · 1h 21m
The sermon encourages listeners to overcome discouragement by studying the example of Jesus choosing the twelve apostles. The central message is that major life decisions, especially those with long-term consequences, require deep reliance on God's will rather than personal opinion or reason. The speaker emphasizes that true wisdom involves waiting on the Lord through extended prayer, mirroring Jesus' example, and trusting God's sovereignty even when others are offended.

God Needs Broken Men And Women - Ian Robson
Ian Robson · Aug 23, 2023 · 48m
The speaker uses Jacob's dream at Bethel to illustrate the true reverence due to God's presence, equating the 'house of God' with the Church. He critiques the modern tendency to treat church gatherings like a mere club, suggesting that believers often reduce their relationship with God to transactional requests for worldly blessings. The central message is that the true reality is that Jesus Christ is the mediator, the 'stairway between heaven and earth,' allowing believers to experience an open heaven within the Church.

The Narrow Gate And The Narrow Way - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Aug 22, 2023 · 31m
The central message is that the way to God is a narrow gate, contrasting sharply with the popular, broad way that leads to destruction. Jesus taught that true discipleship requires radical self-examination, focusing on internal sin like anger and lust, and prioritizing God's kingdom above all else. A critical warning emphasized is that one's ability to forgive others is directly linked to receiving forgiveness from God.

Annie Poonen · Aug 17, 2023 · 18m
The speaker expresses deep gratitude for the Christian Fellowship Center (CFC) for providing a spiritual home and foundation for her family's growth. She shares key lessons learned, emphasizing that discipleship requires taking up the cross, denying self, and following Christ's lead, even when it conflicts with personal desires. Furthermore, she reflects on the mystery of Christ taking on human flesh, realizing it allowed Him to fully sympathize with and save humanity from suffering and sin.

Holding Fast To The Head And Being Men And Women Under Authority - Ian Robson
Ian Robson · Aug 17, 2023 · 44m
The speaker reflects on the journey of the church over 48 years, emphasizing the importance of maintaining a close-knit, family-like community. He draws parallels between the intimacy of Jesus with his disciples and the need for the church to remain focused on its core members, citing Malachi 3:16 about those who fear the Lord speaking to one another. The central message is the necessity of spiritual discipline, submission to authority, and yielding to God's leading to preserve the church's testimony.

Are You Seeking God's Approval Or God's Blessing? - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jul 27, 2023 · 59m
The speaker distinguishes between seeking God's blessing and seeking God's approval, arguing that true Christian life should aim to please God rather than focus on material prosperity. He uses the example of Enoch, who was taken up to heaven because his life was pleasing to God, contrasting this with the Old Testament focus on physical blessings. The core message is that believers must live lives that demonstrate faith through works, as a dead faith is one that does not produce action.

God's Highest Purpose for His People - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jul 21, 2023 · 1h 9m
The speaker emphasizes that true Christian life involves moving beyond mere forgiveness to embrace the fullness of the New Covenant and the Holy Spirit. He shares his personal testimony of moving from a life of spiritual defeat to one of consistent upward growth through divine filling. He distinguishes between mere understanding of scripture and true revelation, which fosters humility and deep devotion to God.

The Path To True Greatness In The Kingdom Of Heaven Is Not Ruling But Serving - Ian Robson
Ian Robson · Jul 11, 2023 · 1h 13m
The central message is that true greatness in the Kingdom of Heaven is found not in ruling or being the greatest, but in serving others. Drawing from Matthew 18 and Mark 9, the speaker emphasizes that one must first become humble like a child and then adopt the attitude of serving all, rather than competing with others. This service is presented as a New Covenant reality, empowered by the Holy Spirit, which is a spiritual life rather than mere adherence to rules.

Purifying The Church - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jul 3, 2023 · 50m
The central message is that God desires a 'pure offering,' not financial donations. Drawing from Romans 12:1, the speaker urges believers to present their entire bodies—specifically their eyes and tongue—as a living, holy sacrifice. True spiritual transformation is measured by how one behaves privately (at home) and how one controls their desires, rather than by outward religious observance or speaking in tongues.

Am I A Dry Bone Or Well-Watered Garden? - Ian Robson
Ian Robson · Jun 12, 2023 · 52m
The sermon uses Ezekiel 37 to compare the spiritual life to either a dry bone or a well-watered garden. The central message is that believers must actively seek and receive the 'word of the Lord'—a divine word that brings life, strength, and direction—not just the general word of God found in scripture. This word can be found daily through devotion, shared with others, and is vital for keeping the church spiritually alive and nourished.

Lessons from the life of Saul - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Apr 18, 2023 · 18m
The sermon uses the life of Saul to illustrate the importance of recognizing and staying within the ministry God has assigned. While Saul initially displayed many positive qualities—such as faithfulness, wisdom, humility, and courage—he ultimately lost his anointing and kingdom due to impatience and overstepping boundaries, specifically by offering a sacrifice when Samuel had not arrived. The central message is a warning to recognize one's God-given ministry and respect the boundaries set by God.

Lessons from the life of Samuel - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Apr 18, 2023 · 17m
The sermon uses the life of Samuel to teach that one must remain steadfast in devotion to the Lord, regardless of surrounding godlessness. Key lessons include maintaining an attitude of constant readiness to hear God's voice—'Speak, for thy servant is listening'—and ensuring that every word spoken, both in ministry and private life, is intentional and directed toward the heart. Furthermore, the speaker warns against neglecting family life while serving God, citing Samuel's later failure to guide his sons properly.

Lessons from the life of Mary - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Apr 18, 2023 · 34m
The speaker draws parallels between the Holy Spirit coming upon Mary to conceive Jesus and the experience of being filled with the Holy Spirit, emphasizing that the purpose is to produce Christ's character in one's life. He stresses that believers must operate by believing God's word without analysis, as no word from God is without power. Furthermore, true service to Christ's body requires a willingness to endure reproach, as Mary did, and the speaker notes that Mary's initial questioning was different from Zacharias's because she had no historical example of a virgin birth.

Lessons from the life of Hannah - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Apr 18, 2023 · 5m
The life of Hannah illustrates that when barren women sought God in intense prayer, God fulfilled their needs, as seen with Samuel's birth. The key lesson is that true breakthrough occurs when our focus shifts from our personal needs to God's greater purpose. Hannah's prayer evolved from asking for a son to dedicating him entirely to the Lord's service, which was crucial for restoring Israel.

Lessons from the life of Eli - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Apr 18, 2023 · 3m 7s
The sermon analyzes the failure of Eli, the high priest, whose sons were godless and dishonored the ministry by stealing and committing adultery. Eli's weak response was to tolerate their behavior rather than correct them. The central message is that one's failure to honor God, particularly in raising or guiding others, leads to suffering, contrasting sharply with Samuel, who was favored by God. The speaker emphasizes that honoring God will result in His honor, while despising Him leads to being lightly esteemed.
