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.

The Full Gospel - Zac Poonen (NLF-PA-23 Oct 2022)
Zac Poonen · Oct 25, 2022 · 57m
The central message is that genuine Christian teaching must be rooted in a life that reflects the gospel, warning against hypocrisy where outward knowledge does not match inner reality. The speaker emphasizes that a complete gospel requires both repentance (a turning from sin) and faith (dependence on Christ), comparing this necessity to the two wires needed to complete an electrical circuit. He urges believers to examine their private lives, attitudes, and motives to ensure they align with what they preach.

Don't Be An Effeminate Man - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Oct 19, 2022 · 14m
The speaker argues that men must act with strength and take responsibility in their roles as husbands, fathers, and church members, citing 1 Corinthians 16:13. He uses the biblical examples of Adam and the initial sin to argue that effeminacy is a serious spiritual failing, and he concludes that true manhood involves taking leadership and being bold witnesses for Christ.

4.Being A Zealous Builder In The Church - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Oct 19, 2022 · 1h 49m
The speaker emphasizes that men must act responsibly and take leadership roles in their homes, the church, and in general life, drawing parallels to the early church and the Old Testament. He argues that failing to lead or take responsibility—being 'effeminate' in action—is a spiritual failure that affects families and the church. True manhood involves taking responsibility, regardless of whether one has a gift for teaching or preaching.

Building Your Life On A Solid Foundation - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Sep 30, 2022 · 51m
The speaker argues that while the Bible is valuable, the most crucial element for the Christian life is being filled with the Holy Spirit, not mere knowledge of scripture. He draws from Matthew 11:25, emphasizing that God reveals truth to the humble, like babies, rather than those who are highly educated. True spiritual understanding comes through divine revelation, which changes one's life, unlike studying the Bible which can only puff up knowledge without transforming the heart.

Manifesting Jesus' Life As We Die To Our Self-life - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Sep 26, 2022 · 31m
The central message is that manifesting the life of Jesus requires the believer to die to their self-life, comparing this to a grain of wheat that must fall into the ground to bring forth much fruit. The speaker argues that earthly achievements, reputation, or even consistent church attendance are insufficient; true life for God is only revealed when the outer shell of self-will is broken open through affliction, perplexity, and submission. This process is necessary for the treasure—the life of Christ—to become manifest.

Young People Grace Can Enable You To Live Victoriously - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Sep 22, 2022 · 1h 20m
The central message is that young people can live victoriously by understanding that Jesus Christ sympathized with our weaknesses because he was tempted in every point as we are. The speaker emphasizes that this truth, found in Hebrews 4:15, allows us to overcome discouragement and self-condemnation. He encourages listeners to seek assurance of salvation and to follow Christ's example of enduring temptation.

How To Pray Without Ceasing - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Sep 22, 2022 · 1h 3m
The central message is the necessity of taking God's commands, especially prayer, with utmost seriousness and persistence. The speaker emphasizes that true love for Jesus is proven by keeping His commandments, urging listeners not to give up halfway through difficult obedience. He stresses that believers must diligently seek God's word and be willing to press through perceived impossibilities.

New Covenant Life in New Covenant Churches - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Sep 21, 2022 · 24m
The speaker argues that many modern church systems are like 'old wine skins'—structures that have lost their original fervor and are filled with traditions not found in God's Word. He contrasts this with the 'new wine skin' pattern found in the New Testament, emphasizing that proper church structure involves appointed elders, no salaried preachers, and adherence to apostolic teaching. Following this pattern requires following Paul's teachings alongside Jesus's, as both are necessary for a complete understanding of the New Covenant life.

New Covenant Salvation and the Body of Christ - Zac Poonen (German)
Zac Poonen · Sep 19, 2022 · 1h 0m
The sermon contrasts the old covenant, where sin required constant remembrance and sacrifice, with the new covenant, where Christ's blood offers complete forgiveness. The central message is that while God promises not to remember our sins, the condition for maintaining this forgiveness is that believers must forgive others. Failure to forgive others severs fellowship with God, which is presented as the most serious sin a believer can commit.

Become Like A Baby - To Enter God’s Kingdom — Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Sep 19, 2022 · 47m
Jesus taught that to enter the Kingdom of Heaven, one must become like a little child, emphasizing humility and complete dependence. The speaker contrasts this with the worldly desire to be the greatest or to act like God, noting that the first sin was pride. True faith, therefore, requires the humility of a baby who is utterly dependent on others, mirroring the dependence on Christ.

Jesus Is Our Reward When We Follow Him Wholeheartedly | Santosh Poonen | Kannada
Zac Poonen · Sep 13, 2022 · 1h 1m
The central message is that the ultimate reward for following Jesus wholeheartedly is Jesus Himself, not some earthly prize. The speaker contrasts the old covenant with the new covenant, emphasizing that the new agreement is sealed by God and fulfilled by Jesus' sacrifice. True discipleship means recognizing that Christ's finished work is the only basis for our standing before God.

Living From the Spirit and Not the Soul - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Aug 19, 2022 · 1h 29m
The speaker cautions against seeking novelty in spiritual teaching, arguing that God's method is often through repetition, and the true measure of truth is personal experience, not mere knowledge. He warns that excessive focus on biblical knowledge without grounding in the real Jesus Christ can lead to spiritual blindness and deception. The true mark of a New Covenant church meeting, according to the speaker, is that attendees leave with the secrets of their hearts disclosed, not merely witnessing spectacular signs or miracles.

Discipline In Our Family Life - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jul 25, 2022 · 59m
The speaker advises that believers should trust God's sovereignty through all life's mistakes and difficulties, rather than complaining. He emphasizes that true discipleship requires focusing on the early, foundational years of Jesus's life, not just his famous later ministry. Ultimately, one must be willing to serve humbly, like washing feet, and embrace difficult circumstances, as God's greatest blessings are often found in the lowest places.

Six Verses That Describe Our Vision - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jul 25, 2022 · 59m
The speaker emphasizes that a church's vision must remain focused on God's original calling, which is building the body rather than accumulating physical assets. He stresses that the foundation of Christian life must be a constant recognition of God's boundless mercy, as we continually discover areas of sin and unchristlike living. This realization should lead to a life of constant repentance and a desire to live to reflect Christ's likeness.

Knowing God the Father and His Values - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jul 11, 2022 · 41m
The speaker argues that humanity's distorted sense of values stems from choosing the 'knowledge of good and evil' over the 'tree of life,' which is represented by Jesus Christ. True understanding of God's values, leading to eternal life, is not found merely through deep scriptural knowledge or adherence to rituals, but through a personal relationship with Jesus. The speaker warns that valuing things highly in the world, such as money or even religious knowledge, can be detestable to God.

The New Covenant And The Kingdom Of God – Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · May 26, 2022 · 38m
The speaker contrasts the Old Covenant with the New Covenant, emphasizing that the latter, established through Christ's blood, is for the church and requires a higher standard of righteousness. He uses examples like anger (equated to murder in the old covenant) and lust (equated to adultery in the new covenant) to illustrate this elevated standard. Ultimately, he urges believers toward continuous spiritual growth, warning against spiritual stagnation despite outward religious activity.

Are You Religious Or Spiritual? - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · May 19, 2022 · 1h 5m
The speaker distinguishes between being religious and being truly spiritual, using Psalm 119 to illustrate that God's word brings light and understanding to the simple. He warns that mere religiosity, like counterfeit currency, can lead to eternal loss, contrasting it with genuine spirituality. True spirituality requires understanding the eternal truths revealed through scripture, rather than just following external rules or human understanding.

Revelation Changes Our Life - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Apr 20, 2022 · 1m 49s
True understanding of scripture goes beyond mere knowledge or intellectual belief; it must become a personal revelation that fundamentally changes one's life. This transformation should affect one's attitudes toward sin, the world, money, and even enemies. Without this life change, all scriptural knowledge is ultimately useless.

The Church – A Place Of Sacrifice And Protection - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Apr 19, 2022 · 56m
The central message emphasizes that the church is a place of mutual dependence, where every member, no matter how gifted, must recognize their need for others. The speaker warns against self-exaltation, reminding the congregation that no individual is indispensable to God's work. True service involves humbly doing the work God has given, knowing that only works done for eternity will remain.

The Secret Of Living In The Spirit - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Apr 12, 2022 · 1h 2m
The speaker argues that many struggle with holiness because they treat Romans 6:14 as a command rather than a promise, meaning victory over sin comes through grace, not sheer willpower. True breakthrough comes only to those who are

The New Covenant’s Ten Commandments - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Apr 11, 2022 · 55m
The central message is that believers must change their mindset regarding God's commandments, viewing them not as burdensome rules, but as profound expressions of God's immense love. The speaker compares this understanding to realizing that obedience is a path to unimaginable freedom, like a rocket escaping Earth's gravity. He urges the audience to see the law as a gift for eternal life, rather than a burden.

What It Means To Fear God And Worship Him - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Apr 5, 2022 · 45m
The speaker emphasizes that true closeness to God is proven by the ability to understand God's 'secrets' or mysteries, which are revealed to those who fear Him. He draws heavily on Hebrews 5, arguing that Jesus prayed specifically to be saved from spiritual death, not physical death, proving His humanity and need for divine help. Ultimately, the speaker teaches that the Holy Spirit's primary purpose is to help believers overcome sin, as humanity is helpless against its power.

God Will Honour Those Who Honour Him - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Mar 22, 2022 · 1h 6m
The speaker uses the example of High Priest Eli to warn against favoring family members over God's will. Eli failed to rebuke his sons for their sin because he loved them more than the Lord, leading to a curse upon his lineage. The central message is that true discipleship requires honoring Christ above all relationships, and neglecting to correct sin in loved ones can have eternal consequences.

Following Jesus In Overcoming Temptation |ಶೋಧನೆಯನ್ನು ಜಯಿಸುವದರಲ್ಲಿ ಯೇಸುವನ್ನು ಹಿಂಬಾಲಿಸುವುದು|Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Mar 17, 2022 · 1h 22m
The central message emphasizes that true discipleship means following Jesus wholeheartedly, recognizing that our standing before God is based solely on the merit of Jesus Christ, not on our own service or perceived righteousness. The speaker warns against spiritual pride and encourages believers to confess all sins, both to God and to those they have wronged, trusting that the blood of Jesus is powerful enough to cleanse all sin. Ultimately, the goal is to overcome sin and walk in victory, just as Jesus did.
