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.

Eight Valuable Truths -- Zac Poonen -- February 4, 2026
Zac Poonen · Feb 5, 2026 · 1h 13m
The speaker emphasizes that true fellowship with God requires absolute honesty, urging listeners to confess sins fully rather than using self-justifications. He contrasts the Old Covenant, where sin was merely covered, with the New Covenant, where the blood of Jesus cleanses sin completely, leading to God forgetting sins (Hebrews 8:12). Ultimately, the speaker stresses that honesty is a prerequisite for receiving God's forgiveness and fellowship.

Spirit-Controlled Tongue & My Mind vs. My Flesh -- David L. & Alan T. -- January 18, 2026
CFC Messages · Jan 23, 2026 · 12m
The speaker emphasizes the critical importance of controlling one's tongue, drawing heavily from Proverbs 15, which highlights the power of speech. He connects this to the filling with the Holy Spirit, noting that the initial manifestation of the Spirit was upon the tongues of the apostles. Furthermore, the speaker discusses the tension between the 'new man' (mind) and the 'flesh' (sinful self) using Romans 7, asserting that justification through Christ provides a clean record regardless of current failures.

We Worship God by Being Overcomers -- Santosh Poonen -- December 7, 2025
Santosh Poonen · Dec 7, 2025 · 1h 7m
The sermon emphasizes that true spiritual health is personal and cannot be transferred from others, using analogies like rotten apples and contagious disease. The speaker urges the congregation to guard their individual spiritual state, warning that worldly focus on earthly pleasures can corrupt one's devotion to eternity. He concludes by referencing Levitical law to stress that contamination flows from the unholy to the holy, not the reverse.

Taking Our Stand Between the Living and the Dead — Ajay Chakravarthy — November 30, 2025
Ajay Chakravarthy · Dec 1, 2025 · 55m
The sermon draws lessons from Isaiah 6 and Numbers 16, emphasizing the privilege of the redeemed to see God and the necessity of taking a stand between life and death. The speaker urges the congregation to be content with what they have, free from the love of money, and to repent, as life is brief and one must be prepared for judgment. The central message is to live in a state of readiness and repentance.

Santosh Poonen · Nov 29, 2025 · 1m 1s
The speaker uses the analogy of speed—comparing running to sitting in a car—to illustrate that any victory achieved through faith is not due to personal effort. He emphasizes that when God grants victory over sin, the believer realizes they had no part in it, only that God filled them with the power of the Holy Spirit.

1 Timothy 1:15 Paul meant it when he said he was the worst sinner: https://youtu.be/8PE19N6oXM4
CFC Messages · Nov 28, 2025 · 1m 1s
The speaker discusses Paul's profound realization of his own sinfulness after growing closer to Jesus. Paul's deep understanding of sin, revealed by God, led him to view even minor sins, like speaking back to a high priest, as worse than heinous crimes. This illustrates the transformative power of knowing God's standard of holiness.

Matt13:22 Fill every part of your life with God's Word: https://youtu.be/hS9NBjSbbMQ #santoshpoonen
Santosh Poonen · Nov 26, 2025 · 1m
The sermon uses the parable of the sower to illustrate that the heart can have limited space for God's Word. The speaker challenges the listener to examine how much room they have in their heart, noting that worldly worries and the devil can plant themselves in the unsewn areas, choking out the seed of God's Word.

1 Corinthians 13:7 Don't allow the Devil any foothold: https://youtu.be/fDRsTEQd_Pg #santoshpoonen
Santosh Poonen · Nov 25, 2025 · 57s
The speaker warns that the devil seeks to exploit any small area of compromise or doubt in a believer's life. He illustrates that even a small percentage of giving ground to sin or worry can be used by the devil to bring bondage, anxiety, and fear, even when God's promise was absolute. The central message is to guard every aspect of one's life to prevent the enemy from gaining any foothold.

Leviticus 1:4 Lay your hand on the head of the offering. https://youtu.be/fDRsTEQd_Pg #santoshpoonen
Santosh Poonen · Nov 25, 2025 · 1m
The speaker uses the imagery of laying hands on an offering, referencing the Levitical ritual, to draw a parallel to the sacrifice of Jesus. The central message is a call for the audience to move beyond viewing Jesus' sacrifice as a distant historical event and instead embrace it as a deeply personal reality. He challenges listeners to consider their own role in the crucifixion, emphasizing that their sin was what held Jesus there until the atonement was accomplished.

James 4:11 The only Judge is God : https://youtu.be/b0af6coPwU8 #santoshpoonen
Santosh Poonen · Nov 23, 2025 · 55s
The sermon warns against judging others, noting that judging a brother is equivalent to judging God's law. The speaker emphasizes that merely accumulating good deeds or keeping track of one's own righteousness does not qualify a person as a doer of the law. True righteousness is invalidated the moment one begins to judge another person.

Don't fall for the Devil's bait of false humility: https://youtu.be/b0af6coPwU8 #santoshpoonen
Santosh Poonen · Nov 23, 2025 · 1m 1s
The speaker warns against the trap of false humility, which often manifests as self-condemnation and discouragement. He argues that beating oneself up over sin is actually a form of pride, not true humility. Genuine humility does not lead to self-condemnation, and the ability to receive grace from God is not due to being inherently better than others.

The speaker addresses the common excuse of 'old habits' when struggling with sin, emphasizing that sin is never something to be shrugged off. True humility allows a person to overcome ingrained patterns, regardless of their background or upbringing. By embracing grace, believers are empowered to overcome sin in every situation.

Zac Poonen · Nov 22, 2025 · 59s
The speaker emphasizes that daily life presents constant opportunities to die to one's own will and desires. He assures the audience that choosing this path of 'death' is not miserable because it is always followed by a resurrection, contrasting this with other philosophies that view self-denial as a miserable existence.

Santosh Poonen · Nov 21, 2025 · 1m 1s
The speaker reflects on coming close to Jesus and seeing the depth of their own sin, specifically realizing the extent of their own participation in hurting Him. This realization, prompted by studying Zechariah 12, led to deep weeping and a renewed sense of sorrow over past sins like gossip and contempt.

CFC Messages · Nov 20, 2025 · 1m 1s
The message explains that spiritually, loving the world is akin to spiritual adultery, which provokes the jealousy of Christ. When a believer allows their spirit to be attached to worldly pleasures, successes, or interests, it is seen by Jesus, the bridegroom, as flirting with another man. This highlights the exclusive devotion required for the relationship with Christ.

The speaker emphasizes that the presence of God, marked by the Holy Spirit, exposes sin and hypocrisy within the church. He encourages believers not to run away when their sin is exposed, urging them instead to confess, seek forgiveness, and remain in God's presence. This attitude is contrasted with the reaction of unbelievers, who are exposed to God's presence.

The message centers on the concept of God dwelling in unapproachable light, contrasting it with the idea of casually approaching God's presence.

The message draws from Jesus' declaration of proclaiming the 'year of Jubilee,' applying this concept to spiritual freedom. The central point is that believers do not have to wait for a specific time period to be freed from sin, bad habits, or bondage. Today is presented as the day of Jubilee, signifying immediate freedom through God's promise.

The message urges listeners to confront the 'filthiness of the flesh' and actively repent for sins, confessing them to Jesus Christ for cleansing.
