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 core call to action is to take up the cross daily, trusting in God's presence and asking for a filling of the Holy Spirit to overcome any hindrances or anxieties.

Communion: Following Christ in Giving Ourselves Up -- Santosh Poonen -- April 20, 2024
Santosh Poonen · Apr 21, 2024 · 19m
The speaker contrasts the ritual of communion with the ultimate sacrifice of Calvary, emphasizing that Jesus's giving of himself was an invitation for others to draw from his brokenness. He teaches that receiving Christ's life should compel believers not just to be thankful, but to actively take up their own cross and become giving, mirroring Christ's self-emptying nature. The goal is to move beyond mere gratitude to actively becoming like Christ through a willingness to suffer and give.

Jesus Does Not Want Us to be Lukewarm (Message to Women) -- Annie Poonen -- April 17, 2024
Annie Poonen · Apr 21, 2024 · 50m
The sermon uses the Parable of the Sower to illustrate how the word of God is sown in the human heart, which is the soil. It warns against becoming spiritually lukewarm, comparing this state to the wayside—where the seed is ignored or taken away—and referencing Revelation 3's warning to the church in Laodicea. True spiritual life requires active engagement with God's word, preventing complacency rooted in worldly comfort or perceived self-sufficiency.

Know This - That Satan is a Defeated Enemy — Zac Poonen — March 31, 2024
Zac Poonen · Apr 1, 2024 · 53m
The speaker teaches that the Gospel is more than just forgiveness for sins; it requires understanding that sin is coming short of the life of Jesus Christ. He emphasizes that believers must press forward daily in Christlikeness, rather than remaining in a perpetual state of spiritual infancy. Furthermore, he stresses that just as Christ canceled our debt to God, we must forgive others by choosing not to remember their sins, living instead by our will rather than our memory.
