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.

Messages For A New Year: 5.Recognizing How Big God Is - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Feb 13, 2014 · 55m
The speaker advises that instead of measuring success by worldly gains like salary increases or promotions, believers should measure their progress by becoming more Christlike. He draws from the Rich Young Ruler narrative to emphasize that true spiritual wealth involves relinquishing self-sufficiency and earthly attachments to follow Christ. Ultimately, the most valuable thing we can lose is time, as God cannot restore wasted years.

Building A New Covenant Church: 6.Knowing Christ's Resurrection Power - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Feb 1, 2014 · 1h 0m
Building a new covenant church requires more than just following doctrine; it demands the continuous presence and power of Christ. The speaker emphasizes that just as historical church movements faded after their founders, modern efforts must be sustained by recognizing our total dependence on God, acknowledging that we have nothing we did not receive from Him. The core principles are maintaining humility, keeping our 'face in the dust,' and focusing on the boundless love of Jesus.

A Heavenly Life: 4.Brokenness The Key To A Heavenly Life - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jan 31, 2014 · 59m
True conversion involves more than just intellectual belief; it is a tangible experience of tasting heavenly gifts, including the Holy Spirit, the good word of God, and a taste of future age powers. The speaker argues that focusing solely on doctrines, prayer, or specific practices is insufficient; instead, a genuinely heavenly life is characterized by gentleness, humility, and having no demands on others, which must be cultivated starting early in life.

Righteousness, Kindness and Humility - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jan 27, 2014 · 1h 1m
The sermon emphasizes that true righteousness, kindness, and humility, as required by God, must be internal rather than merely outward performance for human approval. The speaker draws from Micah 6:8, contrasting the outward focus of the Old Covenant with the inward reality of the New Covenant. He warns that seeking righteousness before men is a subtle form of idolatry, and true discipleship requires a concern only for what God thinks, not what people think.

CFC Messages · Jan 15, 2014 · 1h 18m

The sermon contrasts the narrow way of discipleship—which requires denying self and following the cross—with the broad way of merely seeking worldly blessings. The speaker emphasizes that true discipleship involves more than just attending services or receiving material blessings; it requires a willingness to die to self. He concludes that the foundation of the church is not built on doctrine alone, but on observing the genuine life of a true man of God.

God Shows His Way To The Humble - Zac Poonen (Telugu)
Zac Poonen · May 26, 2013 · 52m
The sermon emphasizes that God reveals His way of life to sinners, not just the righteous. It teaches that humanity's good deeds are not acceptable to God, as they are like filthy rags, and even our 'holy' things can harbor sin. Ultimately, Jesus Christ must take away the sin present even in our most sacred aspects, illustrating that sin permeates all areas of life.

God Shows His Way To Sinners - Zac Poonen (Telugu)
Zac Poonen · May 26, 2013 · 46m
God reveals the way of life primarily to sinners, not just the righteous, which offers hope to all. This revelation is contingent upon the individual having certain qualities, as illustrated by David's prayer in Psalm 25. The core message emphasizes that God will show His way when we acknowledge our sinfulness and humility, contrasting this with those who believe they are superior to others.

Through The Bible - English - 22 (Ecclesiastes) by Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Apr 10, 2013 · 57m
The speaker argues that while Solomon's wisdom is evident, Ecclesiastes demonstrates the futility of relying on human cleverness to find God. True wisdom, which is divine, is found through humility, exemplified by the childlike nature Jesus referenced. The core message is that intellectual prowess is useless in spiritual matters; one must lay aside human cleverness and approach God with a humble heart.

Through The Bible - English - 40 (Luke-2) by Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Apr 10, 2013 · 56m
The sermon emphasizes that true discipleship involves embracing persecution and misunderstanding, as Jesus taught that those who are hated for following Him are truly blessed. It stresses radical love, urging believers to love their enemies, pray for those who mistreat them, and act mercifully, mirroring God's forgiveness. The core message is to live by the principle of reciprocity—treat others as you wish to be treated—and to cultivate a heart of mercy.

Through The Bible - English - 04 (Exodus-1) by Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Apr 10, 2013 · 57m
The sermon uses the story of Moses to illustrate that God's purposes are fulfilled even through the opposition of the devil and the world's systems. The key lesson is that human abilities, education, or worldly success are insufficient for God's calling; true preparation comes through periods of breaking and humility, such as Moses' 40 years in the wilderness. When we think we are ready, God may still require us to be broken down before He can use us for His divine purpose.

Humility is presented as the necessary ground for cultivating this life and fellowship.

Zac Poonen · Apr 6, 2013 · 50m
The speaker uses the story of Samuel from 1 Samuel to illustrate the importance of a meek and quiet spirit, exemplified by Hannah.

Zac Poonen · Apr 6, 2013 · 50m
The sermon emphasizes that the Christian life's visible structure depends entirely on the foundation laid in understanding Ephesians chapters 1-3. The speaker urges believers to walk worthy of their calling by prioritizing humility, gentleness, patience, and love over material pursuits or premature evangelism.

2) Become Like A Child To Get Wisdom - Zac Poonen (With Kannada Translation)
Zac Poonen · Feb 28, 2013 · 58m
The speaker emphasizes that true blessing comes from daily dependence on God's wisdom, comparing it to the necessity of visiting a father-expert for earthly problems. He stresses that seeking God's help is not limited to spiritual matters, and one must approach God with the humility of a beggar, never becoming self-sufficient or proud. Ultimately, the message encourages believers to adopt the childlike dependence on God, resting in His provision like a branch drawing sap from a tree.

The central message is that in Christ, all distinctions—such as caste, wealth, or education—are abolished, and God values humility above all else.

The central message is that believers must learn from Jesus to be generous and express genuine appreciation for others, rather than being like 'misers' in giving thanks.
