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 New Covenant Spirit of Decreasing & Revelation from Christ — Santosh P & David L — May 11, 2025
CFC Messages · May 16, 2025 · 19m
The sermon contrasts the Old Covenant, where God promised to increase the kingdom, with the New Covenant, which is characterized by the believer decreasing so that Christ's government may endlessly increase. The speaker uses the analogy of a pencil to illustrate that as the pencil writes more (the mission increases), it gets smaller (the self decreases). This principle of self-emptying is presented as the hallmark of the new covenant life, exemplified by Paul's willingness to be afflicted and diminished for Christ's life to be manifested.

Worshipping God in Spirit and Truth — Zac Poonen — May 14, 2025
Zac Poonen · May 15, 2025 · 1h 8m
The sermon explains that true worship, as described in Romans 12:1, involves presenting one's entire body as a living and holy sacrifice, which is worship in the spirit and truth. Drawing parallels to the Old Testament burnt offering, the speaker argues that this requires a deep, tangible dedication of one's life, going beyond mere emotion or intellect. Ultimately, worshiping in the spirit means offering every part of oneself—including one's senses and thoughts—to God's will.

The Three Promises of the New Covenant -- Zac Poonen -- May 11, 2025
Zac Poonen · May 13, 2025 · 1h 7m
The speaker emphasizes that merely confessing sins and expecting salvation is insufficient; believers must embrace the full blessing of the New Covenant, which includes the ability to hear God's voice daily. He warns against complacency, arguing that true discipleship requires a passionate, wholehearted life for Christ, not just a desire to avoid regret in eternity. This commitment must be fueled by a continuous desire—a deep 'thirst'—for the Holy Spirit, which is a continuous experience, not a one-time event.

God is Intimate with Intercessors and Identifies with Sinners -- Ajay C. & Alan T.-- May 5, 2025
CFC Messages · May 9, 2025 · 13m
The speaker draws parallels between Abraham interceding for Sodom and Gomorrah and Jesus praying for the lost, emphasizing that God is intimate with those who intercede for others who do not realize their spiritual condition. He encourages the audience to adopt this posture of intercession rather than condemnation, mirroring Jesus' example of forgiveness for those who do not know what they are doing.

Be Content with the Way God Made You — Zac Poonen — May 07, 2025
Zac Poonen · May 8, 2025 · 57m
The central message is that godliness is a means of great gain only when accompanied by contentment. Contentment means being joyful and accepting everything God has allowed in one's life, recognizing that God has established boundaries for all things, including human limitations. The speaker uses the Book of Job and the natural order of creation to illustrate that accepting God's established boundaries leads to a godly life.

What Genuine Reverence for God Produces — Zac Poonen — May 04, 2025
Zac Poonen · May 5, 2025 · 51m
The central message is that pleasing God requires only faith, which is simply believing that the Creator loves us unconditionally, regardless of our imperfections. The speaker uses the analogy of earthly parents' unconditional love to contrast with the overwhelming goodness of God. He emphasizes that God's love is so profound that even our best efforts pale in comparison, leading to the gift of the Holy Spirit.

The Presence of the Lord When We Break Bread — Zac Poonen — May 03, 2025
Zac Poonen · May 4, 2025 · 29m
The central message is that the greatest aspect of the Christian life is experiencing the tangible, daily presence of Christ, which is facilitated by the Holy Spirit. The speaker warns against confusing the Spirit's work with mere outward signs, emphasizing that true presence prevents sin and leads to genuine obedience. He urges listeners to pray for the Holy Spirit to make Christ's presence real, both in worship and in daily life, allowing the Scriptures to burn the heart rather than just the mind.

CFC Messages · May 2, 2025 · 21m
True faith is characterized by trusting God's promises even when the answer is significantly delayed, leading to increased confidence rather than discouragement. Furthermore, a mark of genuine faith is the ability to wait patiently without fretting or anxiety, sometimes even leading to a period of silence regarding the request. The speaker emphasizes that faith is a gift that must be cultivated and tested against these principles.

Zac Poonen · May 1, 2025 · 1h 31m
The speaker advises that while not all scripture passages hold equal weight, meditating on passages, especially when connecting the Old Testament to the New Testament (where Jesus quotes the Old), is highly beneficial. He uses the example of John 7:38 and Ezekiel 47 to illustrate that understanding the progressive nature of receiving the Holy Spirit requires careful study, emphasizing that the Spirit's work flows from the innermost being. He also notes that meditation helps one understand that spiritual growth involves being filled with the Spirit while remaining grounded in reality.

Offering God a Sacrificial Offering — Zac Poonen — April 27, 2025
Zac Poonen · Apr 28, 2025 · 1h 2m
The speaker interprets Psalm 50 to teach that true godliness is demonstrated by making a covenant with God through personal sacrifice, not merely by giving offerings. Using the example of Cain and Abel, he argues that Abel's offering was accepted because he gave his very best, while Cain only gave what was easily available. Ultimately, God desires an offering of one's life and time, not just money, and this dedication is what truly draws God's favor.

The speaker explains the meaning of 'apostle' as someone sent by God for a specific task, contrasting it with other spiritual gifts. He details the function of apostles, drawing from Ephesians 4, noting that their role is to equip believers through gifting, not personal choice. Furthermore, he outlines the apostolic pattern of planting churches by acting as a spiritual father, appointing multiple elders, and maintaining constant connection with the local body.

Zac Poonen · Apr 25, 2025 · 1h 22m
The Christian life requires constant dependence on God, moving beyond mere intellectual understanding or shallow emotionalism. The speaker uses the analogy of the tabernacle, where passing through the curtain into the most holy place symbolizes moving from the soul to the spirit. True spirituality is achieved by crucifying one's self-will and yielding to the will of the Father, which allows one to dwell in God's presence, leading to fullness of joy.

Zac Poonen · Apr 25, 2025 · 54m
The speaker advises listeners to emulate the simplicity of a child and the selfless service of a servant to draw closer to God's kingdom. He then delves into the tripartite nature of humanity—spirit, soul, and body—emphasizing that while the mind (soul) and emotions can be stirred, true spirituality requires yielding the will, which acts as the door into the spirit. This yielding is presented as the crucial, practical step for spiritual growth.

7: The Three Floors of the Christian Life — Zac Poonen — April 20, 2025
Zac Poonen · Apr 25, 2025 · 56m
The speaker argues that a truly godly life is inherently exciting, contrasting this with the boredom experienced by many Christians who have compromised in secret areas. He draws parallels between spiritual growth and the steady, unstoppable progression of dawn's light, emphasizing that true growth is continuous and visible. Ultimately, the message urges believers to move beyond merely following religious 'laws' toward living by the Spirit, which removes the veil and allows the likeness of Christ to manifest in one's life.

6: God Humbles Us to Give Us Grace — Zac Poonen — April 19, 2025
Zac Poonen · Apr 25, 2025 · 53m
The speaker uses Paul's experience in the third heaven to illustrate that true spiritual experiences are not something that can be boasted about or shared in detail, as God restricts what is revealed. He then contrasts this with the tendency to share exaggerated testimonies, suggesting such claims are often false. The message emphasizes that God is a God of encouragement, not discouragement, and applies this principle to parenting and church building, where one must recognize the 'perfect fit' God intends.
