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 Blessed Life of the New Covenant -- Zac Poonen -- August 7, 2022
Zac Poonen · Aug 8, 2022 · 1h 12m
The speaker argues that true Christian life is found not merely in studying the Word or performing religious duties, but in embracing the 'way of the cross' and the 'new covenant.' He emphasizes that the goal is not perfection in one's own strength, but a daily desire to become more like Christ, recognizing that ministry is secondary to the life itself. This transformation is facilitated by the Holy Spirit, moving believers from the legalistic focus of the Old Testament to the grace-filled calling of sonship.

Christ Became a Curse That We Might Become a Blessing -- Zac Poonen -- August 3, 2022
Zac Poonen · Aug 4, 2022 · 56m
The sermon contrasts the curses incurred by sin in Genesis, distinguishing between sins that harm only the self (Genesis 3) and those that harm others (Genesis 4), arguing the latter are more serious. The speaker then pivots to Galatians 3, emphasizing that Christ became a curse for humanity by enduring crucifixion, which was required by Mosaic Law. Ultimately, Christ's perfect life, including being tempted in every way we are, allowed him to overcome sin through the power of the Holy Spirit and grace.

The Living Word -- Olu Talabi & Ajay Chakravarthy -- June 10, 2022
CFC Messages · Jun 15, 2022 · 28m
The central message is that true guidance comes not just from reading the Bible, but from allowing the living Word of God to become alive within us through the Holy Spirit. The speaker emphasizes that Jesus himself relied on the guidance of the Father daily, illustrating that spiritual sustenance comes from God's word, not merely from natural ability or worldly means. This process requires humility, acknowledging our ignorance, and actively seeking God's revelation day by day.

The sermon emphasizes that true faith does not require us to 'increase' it, but rather grows from seeing God more clearly and hearing His voice. The core message is that faith is found in looking to God alone, trusting His promises even when things seem impossible. The speaker encourages the congregation to commit their lives to God's purpose, asking for a deeper filling of the Holy Spirit to live as bold witnesses.

Letting Christ Lay His Burden on Us — Santosh Poonen — June 5, 2022
Santosh Poonen · Jun 6, 2022 · 58m
The sermon emphasizes that true Christian life requires setting one's mind on the Spirit, which brings life and peace, contrasting it with the flesh which leads to death. The speaker argues that genuine spiritual understanding is revealed to 'babes' rather than the wise or intelligent, suggesting that deep communion with God—especially through prayer—requires forsaking reliance on personal wisdom. He encourages a childlike approach to faith and a continual, daily prayer life.

Do Whatever the Lord Tells You to Do (Message to Women) -- Annie Poonen -- May 18, 2022

The message draws inspiration from the wedding at Cana, emphasizing that when life presents a need or weakness, the best response is to turn to Jesus and ask Him to meet that need. The speaker encourages listeners to apply God's word spiritually, obeying what the Holy Spirit directs, and uses Moses' life as an example of how God uses periods of 'wilderness'—whether through difficulty, loss of status, or challenge—to break down self-confidence and refocus reliance solely on Him.

Proving the Power of Christ’s Resurrection in Our Lives -- Santosh Poonen -- April 17, 2022
Santosh Poonen · Apr 18, 2022 · 1h 9m
The speaker emphasizes that every member of the local church has a responsibility to participate in the spiritual life of the body, comparing the church to a cup filled with the life-giving water of Christ. He warns against superficial spiritual care, referencing Jeremiah 6:13, where false leaders superficially heal deep brokenness. Ultimately, the message is to be a vessel filled by the Holy Spirit to share the true life of Jesus with others, regardless of one's perceived ministry role.

The central message draws from Exodus 34 and 2 Corinthians 3, emphasizing that dwelling in the presence of God causes one's joy to radiate, much like Moses' shining face. The speaker contrasts the old covenant at Mount Sinai with the new covenant found in Jesus Christ, where the veil is removed. This removal grants believers liberty and freedom to walk and please God, empowered by the Holy Spirit.

The central message is that instead of focusing on predicting future events or answering every curiosity, believers must focus on two things: repentance and being filled with the Holy Spirit. The speaker warns against deception, particularly the subtle ways sin can rule over our hearts, which often stems from unconfessed pride. True readiness comes from loving the truth and being honest with oneself about where grace is lacking.
