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 Father Wants a Pure Bride for His Son - Santosh Poonen - August 9, 2012
Santosh Poonen · Aug 9, 2012 · 57m
The central message is that the Holy Spirit is necessary because the Father desires a pure and spotless bride for His Son, Jesus. The speaker emphasizes that human effort is insufficient to meet Christ's standard of holiness, and only the Spirit can transform us, making us beautiful in the Father's eyes. This spiritual preparation is necessary for the believer to stand confidently with Christ.

The God Who Calls Sinners With a Purpose - Santosh Poonen - May 20, 2012
Santosh Poonen · May 21, 2012 · 57m
The sermon emphasizes that God's calling and purpose for individuals predate the foundation of the world, likening it to being a 'twinkle in God's eye.' The core message, drawn from 2 Timothy 1, is that our ability to live a holy life or possess a 'holy calling' is not based on our own works but is granted by God's eternal grace and purpose in Christ. Understanding Christ means standing under Him, which reveals the immense, pre-ordained blessings available to us.

Santosh Poonen · Apr 30, 2012 · 32m
The speaker warns of a serious deception within Christian churches, noting that the greatest enemy of godliness is wealth.

The Godliness Doctrine - Santosh Poonen - February 12, 2012
Santosh Poonen · Apr 21, 2012 · 48m
The message emphasizes that true godliness must be evidenced by a life that matches one's teaching, warning that hypocrisy brings reproach on the name of God. Paul addresses Timothy, a dedicated man of God, cautioning that even those who attend high-standard churches but do not live up to the teaching standard are bringing reproach. Ultimately, the core message is that godliness, when accompanied by contentment and a focus on God's interests over money, is a means of great gain.

True Godliness is a Great Mystery - Santosh Poonen - November 20, 2011
Santosh Poonen · Apr 21, 2012 · 54m
The speaker emphasizes that God desires our love above all else, contrasting this with mere obedience. He explains that God's mysteries are not for the wise or intelligent, but for those who pursue Him with passion. While salvation and basic ordinances are clear, certain aspects, like the mystery of lawlessness or the transformation at the resurrection, are divine mysteries that require diligent searching and pursuit.

Questions & Answers - Zac Poonen - April 7, 2012
Zac Poonen · Apr 15, 2012 · 42m
The speaker distinguishes between merely avoiding sin and actively hating sin, arguing that true joy and gladness come from loving righteousness, not just abstaining from wrongdoing. He also addresses spiritual authority, cautioning against imposed structures and emphasizing that true authority in the New Covenant is accepted voluntarily, like a father guiding his child, rather than being a tool for rule or control.
