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 Will Help Us To Walk As Jesus Did - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jan 3, 2019 · 59m
The speaker urges listeners to view the command to 'walk in the same manner as Christ' (1 John 2:6) not as an impossible standard, but as a possibility granted by God's help, which is the language of faith. He warns against the tendency to disqualify parts of scripture or Christian living by claiming they are not for us, arguing that God's commands are always within our ability to fulfill. True faith embraces the possibility of living like Jesus did.

The Three Floors Of The Christian Building - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Dec 6, 2018 · 37m
The speaker outlines a three-story model for Christian life, starting with the foundation: God's perfect love, which provides security and freedom from discouragement. The second story is a personal devotion to Jesus Christ, viewing Him as a friend and bridegroom. The third story is maintaining a clear conscience and achieving victory over sin, which requires a deep longing (thirst) and true faith that God is more eager to give His promises than we are to receive them.

The Perils Of Unbelief - Ian Robson
Ian Robson · Nov 13, 2018 · 53m
The central message is that entering into God's prepared life of rest hinges entirely on believing, which the speaker defines as a 'reckless abandon' to Jesus. Unbelief, conversely, is the root cause of disobedience, preventing us from entering this rest. The speaker urges the listeners to heed the Holy Spirit's voice daily, confessing and humbling themselves to avoid hardening their hearts.

All That Jesus Taught (Bible Study – 29 of 80) - Zac Poonen (with Romanian Subtitles)
Zac Poonen · Sep 24, 2018 · 25m
The central message is that true salvation comes through faith in Christ, which necessitates genuine repentance and results in a desire to live according to the teachings of Jesus (the Sermon on the Mount). The speaker emphasizes that faith without corresponding works, or the fruit of the Spirit, is dead, drawing parallels to the body needing breath to be alive. He warns against both false prophets who widen the gate and legalists who narrow it, stressing that the fruit of the Spirit is more important than the gifts.

Never Forgotten, Never Forsaken - Charles Banna
Charles Banna · Sep 11, 2018 · 47m
The sermon contrasts the faith displayed in the Old Covenant with the believer's experience in the New Covenant. The speaker uses examples like Job, Joseph, and David to show that even great men often complained or doubted God during trials. In contrast, the New Covenant promises that all things work together for good, exemplified by Joseph's faithfulness even in slavery and prison, demonstrating that God's presence makes any circumstance a place of blessing.

The Way To Astonishing Faith - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Aug 8, 2018 · 1h 0m
Jesus was astonished twice: first by the unbelief of his own people in Nazareth, and second by the faith of a Centurion who, despite his background, trusted Jesus's word completely. The speaker emphasizes that genuine faith, which is a total confidence and dependence on God, is rooted in humility—recognizing one's unworthiness before God. This humility is presented as the necessary first step toward true worship and faith.

God Longs To Have Fellowship With Us - Charles Banna
Charles Banna · Jul 31, 2018 · 58m
The central message is that God desires deep fellowship with humanity, which is why He breathed the breath of life into man, unlike other creatures. Sin caused this fellowship to break, but God's heart remains longing for connection. The sermon highlights examples like Enoch and Noah who walked closely with God, and assures that God's eyes are constantly searching the earth to find hearts fully committed to Him.

The Example Of Two Good Mothers - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jul 24, 2018 · 28m
The speaker discusses the importance of dedicating children to God, drawing parallels between the Old Testament dedication of firstborn sons and the New Covenant understanding where all children are equally dedicated to the Lord. He emphasizes that raising godly children is a profound act of faith, citing the example of Moses' parents who protected him from Pharaoh's decree. Ultimately, the message stresses that parents bear the primary responsibility for guiding their children in the ways of God.

God Strongly Supports Those Who Have Faith In Him (2 Chronicles 16:9) - Ian Robson
Ian Robson · Jul 23, 2018 · 34m
The sermon contrasts the initial faithfulness of King Asa with his later reliance on worldly things rather than God. The speaker emphasizes that God's eyes are constantly looking for those whose hearts are completely devoted to Him. True faith means maintaining trust in God through all circumstances—success, difficulty, and decline—to ensure a faithful end.

Folly Of Worry - Charles Banna
Charles Banna · May 25, 2018 · 25m
The central message is a warning against the folly of worry, which the speaker asserts is a grave sin that robs joy and weakens health. Drawing from Matthew 6, the sermon emphasizes that instead of worrying about daily needs like food or clothing, believers should seek first God's kingdom and righteousness. The speaker concludes by noting that each day has enough trouble of its own, and tomorrow is a mystery that God will take care of.

When God Seems Silent - Charles Banna
Charles Banna · May 24, 2018 · 27m
The sermon explores what to do when God seems silent, drawing from Psalms and the Book of Job. It argues that true worship is not merely emotional praise or ritual, but something that costs the individual something. The speaker emphasizes that when facing deep distress, one's response—like Job's declaration that 'the Lord gave and the Lord has taken away'—reveals true faith, which is deeper than mere feeling.

Living By Sincere Faith - Anand Thomas
Anand Thomas · May 24, 2018 · 25m
The central message is the necessity of cultivating a living and sincere faith, which involves unwavering dependence on the Lord through all life's trials. The speaker contrasts trusting in man or flesh, which leads to spiritual barrenness, with trusting in the Lord, which results in enduring strength like a tree by water. Examples from scripture, including Peter's declaration to Jesus and Peter walking on water, illustrate that true faith requires stepping out in trust based on Jesus' word.

God's Weakness vs Man's Strength - Charles Banna
Charles Banna · May 18, 2018 · 32m
The sermon contrasts human strength and limited understanding with the infinite power and superior ways of God. The speaker emphasizes that human efforts, no matter how great, are temporary and cannot achieve eternal value without God's involvement. God works through limitations, using processes like fire and water to refine His servants, as seen in the examples of Moses, Jacob, Gideon, and David, proving that God's methods are far beyond human comprehension.

The Better Message Of The New Covenant - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Mar 1, 2018 · 1h 13m
The speaker argues that the New Covenant offers something superior to the external miracles and blessings emphasized in the Old Covenant. This better thing is the eternal joy found in the Father's presence, which requires believers to run the race of faith by laying aside all sin and unnecessary weights. Ultimately, following Jesus means daily self-denial and taking up one's cross to maintain constant communion with God.

Trust God To Give You His Nature - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Feb 14, 2018 · 1h 10m
The speaker emphasizes that our current reality is a direct result of the choices we made over the past year, urging listeners to look forward with a commitment to change. He draws parallels from Abraham's faith in Romans 4, where Abraham believed God's promise of a multitude of descendants despite having no children. This illustrates that true faith requires believing in God's power to bring life and victory where human ability or current circumstances suggest impossibility, such as achieving victory over sin.

True Faith And The Fear Of God In These Times (Hebrews 11:7) - Ian Robson
Ian Robson · Jan 17, 2018 · 1h 6m
The central message is that true faith is not merely believing in God's existence or expecting miracles, but rather believing that God is who He says He is—the 'I Am'—and that He is in control of every circumstance. This profound trust allows believers to remain at rest and not be thrown into unrest by worldly events or misunderstandings. The speaker contrasts this deep faith with superficial interpretations, such as the prosperity gospel.

A Generation That Prepares Their Hearts For God (Psalm 78:8) - Ian Robson
Ian Robson · Nov 20, 2017 · 1h 6m
The sermon emphasizes that the current generation must prepare its hearts by teaching the next generation to place their confidence solely in God, rather than in their own abilities, achievements, or material possessions. Drawing from Psalm 78, the speaker warns against becoming a generation that is stubborn, rebellious, and forgets God's works. True confidence must be rooted in God's promises and the sacrifice of Christ, not in personal success.

Enduring To The End - Newton
CFC Messages · Nov 15, 2017 · 34m
The message emphasizes the necessity of enduring to the end, comparing Christian life to a marathon race requiring steady consistency. The speaker reassures the audience that trials and temptations are not signs of God's absence, but rather part of God's deliberate training syllabus designed to purify and strengthen believers. True faith is proven and perfected through enduring these difficulties, leading to spiritual abundance.

26.Escaping Deception - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Aug 17, 2017 · 25m
The central message is that Christians must guard against deception, which can come from both open persecution and subtle doctrinal lies. The speaker emphasizes that the ultimate test of faith is unwavering adherence to Scripture, as demonstrated by Jesus. True safety comes from seeking fellowship with those who lead one away from sin and iniquity, rather than merely performing religious acts.

24.Faith Results In Praise - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Aug 17, 2017 · 25m
When we recognize that Christ has completed the work of salvation and that Satan has been defeated, our appropriate response is praise, as exemplified by Psalm 106:12. True belief in God's finished work is proven by thankfulness and praise; therefore, we must express our faith through our words. However, this confession must be limited to what is actually promised in Scripture, rejecting teachings that require confessing material desires or lying about our current condition.

Keeping Our Eyes On Jesus All The Time - Ian Robson
Ian Robson · Aug 8, 2017 · 54m
The central message is the necessity of keeping our focus on Jesus at all times, not just during designated times of worship. The speaker uses the biblical accounts of Jesus calming the storm (Matthew 14 and Mark 6) to illustrate that life's struggles are often storms orchestrated by Satan. True obedience to Christ's commands is not burdensome because the Holy Spirit accompanies us through every trial, requiring faith and reliance on Jesus's presence.

12.The Power Of God's Word - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Aug 7, 2017 · 25m
The sermon emphasizes the supreme importance of God's Word, citing its role in creation (Genesis 1) and its authority in the last book of Revelation. The speaker uses Jesus' life—from studying in the Temple at age 12 to quoting scripture during the temptation in the wilderness—to illustrate that life must be sustained by God's Word, not merely physical sustenance. Furthermore, the message warns against taking verses out of context, stressing that the whole truth requires comparing scripture with scripture.

8.True Repentance - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Aug 4, 2017 · 25m
The speaker emphasizes that God allows trials and temptations because they build spiritual strength, assuring listeners that no trial will exceed their ability to bear. He stresses that the Gospel requires both repentance (turning away from sin) and faith, warning against preaching only one aspect, as both are necessary for a proper Christian experience. Repentance is defined as the primary step of turning away from everything except God.
