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.

18.The Humanity Of Jesus - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Aug 16, 2017 · 25m
The central message is that true understanding and transformation come not from merely studying the written word (the letter of the law), but from taking Jesus' yoke and learning from His life through the Holy Spirit. Jesus offers a gentle and easy yoke, contrasting it with the restrictive nature of the old covenant. To truly follow Christ, one must see the glory of Jesus in Scripture, allowing the Holy Spirit to progressively change one into His likeness.

17.Transformation - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Aug 16, 2017 · 25m
The central message is that the Christian life's true destination is not merely reaching heaven, but achieving a transformed character that mirrors Christ's likeness. This transformation, or sanctification, is achieved by being born again through the narrow gate and is a deep internal cleansing, unlike mere external refinement or adherence to law. Christ came to save us from sin and transform our inner nature, which is accomplished through the Holy Spirit.

11.God Is A God Of Love - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Aug 7, 2017 · 24m
The central message is that God's nature is perfect love, which surpasses any earthly concept of love. This profound love is the foundation for understanding Christian life, as it motivates God's commands, such as repentance and giving up sin, which are ultimately for our good. True Christian living is not about trying to meet a standard through personal effort, but rather about abiding in Christ so that the Holy Spirit empowers us to live out God's will.

10.God's Two Fold Provision - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Aug 4, 2017 · 25m
God's provision for humanity is twofold: first, forgiveness for past sins through Christ's death, and second, the power to overcome the continuous sinful nature inherited from Adam. The speaker emphasizes that true Christian life requires both pardon (forgiveness) and power (the Holy Spirit's enabling grace). Furthermore, justification means God treats the believer as if they never sinned, granting immense boldness before Him.

6.Free Will And The Conscience - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Aug 3, 2017 · 24m
The central message is that free will is a gift from God essential for true holiness, as voluntary obedience is required. The speaker emphasizes that God does not remove this freedom, even when a person is filled with the Holy Spirit, who grants self-control. True spiritual gifts are subject to the individual's will, contrasting this with the total control seen in demonic possession.

1.God's Purpose For Man - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Aug 3, 2017 · 24m
God created man with a unique spirit, distinguishing him from animals, and this spirit is the source of our connection to God. Sin causes this spirit to die, leading humanity to function like animals, but accepting Christ revives this spirit through the Holy Spirit. Christians must constantly choose to live by this divine spirit rather than succumbing to the desires of the physical body, which is the path of sin.

The sermon urges believers to be fervent in spirit, drawing from Romans 12:11, which calls for zeal and enthusiasm in serving the Lord. The speaker warns against spiritual lukewarmness, noting that this state is unacceptable to God. To combat apathy, Christians must recommit to the gospel, actively share the good news, and remain deeply engaged with God's Word.

Charles Banna · May 26, 2017 · 1h 10m

All That Jesus Taught (Bible Study – 18 of 80) - Zac Poonen (with Romanian Subtitles)
Zac Poonen · Apr 24, 2017 · 25m
The sermon focuses on Jesus' teachings from the Sermon on the Mount, specifically addressing sin in thought, such as lust and anger. The speaker emphasizes that overcoming these sins requires a genuine fullness of the Holy Spirit, which grants self-control over the tongue and eyes. True freedom from sin is achieved through radical honesty, confessing sins to the offended party, and actively fleeing temptation.

Baptism And Freedom From Sin - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Mar 16, 2017 · 38m
The central message emphasizes that true Christian life requires moving beyond mere activity or fellowship to a deep, personal devotion to Jesus Christ, which is symbolized by passing through the veil of death to self. The speaker stresses that believers should not accept a pattern of continuous sinning, comparing it to a child who cannot walk after a certain age. Freedom from sin is achieved through a genuine conversion and being filled with the Holy Spirit, not just through outward church attendance.

The Kingdom Of Heaven And Not of Earth - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Mar 6, 2017 · 1h 2m
The central message is that believers must shift their focus from the 'Kingdom of Earth'—which emphasizes material blessings, prosperity, and physical health—to the 'Kingdom of Heaven.' Drawing parallels with John the Baptist's call to repent, the speaker argues that modern Christianity often replicates the Old Testament's focus on earthly rewards rather than demonstrating the true nature of God's kingdom, which was inaugurated by the Holy Spirit on Pentecost.

With Christ We Can Do Everything - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Mar 6, 2017 · 42m
The central message is that true Christian life requires understanding two key truths: without Christ, we can accomplish nothing of eternal value, and with Christ, we can accomplish everything God has planned for our lives. The speaker emphasizes that knowing God's ways and being filled with the Holy Spirit are crucial for this transformation, contrasting worldly achievements with eternal knowledge of God.

Building The Church Through Sacrifice - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jan 24, 2017 · 1h 10m
The sermon contrasts the 'spirit of the harlot'—characterized by seeking worldly approval over Christ's—with the true, bridal church. The speaker emphasizes that true spiritual movement, like the return from Babylon to Jerusalem, begins with prayer and the Holy Spirit. Ultimately, the church's purity relies on godly leadership and the teaching of fathers to their children, as the church must be a place of continual spiritual burning.

The Kingdom Of God - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jan 24, 2017 · 17m
The speaker explains that the true meaning of 'seeking the Kingdom of God first' is not focused on evangelism or worldly pursuits, but rather on achieving righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit, as defined in Romans 14:17. This peace encompasses perfect peace with God through Christ's blood, peace in one's heart from worldly turmoil, and peace with all people through forgiveness. This state of grace is achieved through the Holy Spirit and is superior to mere outward acts of righteousness.

Through Trials To Abundance - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jan 23, 2017 · 25m
The speaker emphasizes that God's ways are not human ways, often using weakness, poverty, or difficult circumstances to teach profound lessons that mere education cannot. He illustrates this using the example of a man who was blessed through raising a child with a mental handicap, showing that God uses unique, sometimes difficult, paths for His greatest ambassadors. The core message is that God's plan is perfect, and we must trust His process, recognizing that the Holy Spirit provides personal, tailored training for each believer.

NO FEAR IN LOVE | 8. A Heavenly Father Who Disciplines Us | Zac Poonen | Tamil
Zac Poonen · Aug 23, 2016 · 57m
The speaker encourages the congregation to value and respect the new generation of believers God is raising up. He emphasizes that believers should study the Word of God and seek the anointing of the Holy Spirit, rather than relying on self-assessment. The central message is that the full truth, like a jigsaw puzzle, is found in the Bible, and preachers must ensure that everything written in Scripture is preached, not just what is convenient or popular.

NO FEAR IN LOVE | 7. Our All-Powerful Heavenly Father | Zac Poonen | Tamil
Zac Poonen · Aug 23, 2016 · 55m
The central message contrasts understanding (knowledge in the mind) with true faith, which resides in the heart. The speaker emphasizes that genuine faith is evidenced by the absence of fear, as fear signals a lack of trust in God. To cultivate this heart-level faith, one must continuously pray for the filling of the Holy Spirit, rather than being satisfied with past spiritual experiences.

NO FEAR IN LOVE | 4.Our Responsibility Towards Others | Zac Poonen | Tamil
Zac Poonen · Aug 23, 2016 · 56m
The speaker emphasizes that a core message often overlooked by preachers is understanding God as a loving Father. He draws heavily from Jesus' teachings, noting that Jesus frequently spoke about the Father to his disciples. The talk stresses that believers should pray directly to their Father for the Holy Spirit, rather than treating it like an application to a distant authority. Ultimately, the speaker urges listeners to study the Gospels to learn how Jesus taught about the Father and to focus on revealing God's nature as a loving Father to others.

GOD SHOWS US HIS WAY | 3.His Power To Overcome Sin | Zac Poonen | Tamil
Zac Poonen · Aug 16, 2016 · 54m
True understanding of God's way requires unlearning one's own ways, as many things that seem right are actually wrong. The speaker emphasizes that genuine revelation comes not just from hearing a message, but from the Holy Spirit opening the eyes of the heart, as Paul advised the Ephesians. Ultimately, one must pray for this spiritual understanding to internalize the truth so that it changes one's life completely, moving beyond mere intellectual agreement.

GOD SHOWS US HIS WAY | 6.Being Weak As Jesus Was | Zac Poonen | Tamil
Zac Poonen · Aug 16, 2016 · 57m
The speaker explains that understanding God's way is impossible through natural reason, and the power received from the Holy Spirit is not characterized by external manifestations like miracles or loud displays. True power, according to Jesus, is known by the fruit it bears internally, contrasting this with the external power sought by the world and even some Christians. The example of Paul in Corinth illustrates that true spiritual stature is not based on outward appearance or eloquence.

THE TRUTH SHALL SET YOU FREE: 7.Freedom From The Love Of Money - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jul 21, 2016 · 1h 28m
The sermon emphasizes that true freedom comes from knowing the truth, which must penetrate the heart, leading to the filling of the Holy Spirit. The speaker addresses common misinterpretations of scripture, clarifying that healing mentioned in Isaiah 53 refers to spiritual healing from sin, not just physical ailment. Furthermore, he establishes that ultimate authority always rests with God, meaning believers must submit to God's Word even if it contradicts the instructions of elders, pastors, or husbands.
