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.

Fulfilling the Law of Christ — Santosh Poonen — July 12, 2026
Santosh Poonen · Jul 13, 2026 · 1h 5m
The speaker emphasizes the power of God's Word, noting that it is active and feared by the devil, which should encourage believers to memorize and speak scripture boldly. He contrasts the idea of being 'under no law' after Christ's fulfillment with the reality that Christians are now under a new law, stressing that standing for truth requires acknowledging judgment both from God and upon ourselves.

The message warns believers against spiritual complacency, using examples from 1 Corinthians 10 and Song of Solomon. True devotion requires more than just attending services or experiencing emotional highs; it demands a complete desire to be consumed only by Christ. The core warning is that if our minds are set on earthly pleasures—eating, drinking, playing, or the world's friendship—we risk spiritual adultery and becoming enemies of the cross.

The message emphasizes that true spiritual fellowship requires a commitment to dying to one's own flesh and self-will, comparing this necessary sacrifice to a grain of wheat falling into the ground. This surrender allows believers to experience unity in the spirit, drawing strength from God's Word which serves as their sustenance against temptation. Ultimately, embracing this life in Christ brings hidden darkness into the light of His glory.

CFC Messages · Jun 5, 2026 · 19m
The speaker uses the story of Uzzah touching the Ark of the Covenant to warn against the dangerous tendency to excuse wrong actions by appealing to motive or heart. He argues that both a right motive with a wrong action, and a wrong motive with a right action, can be equally sinful. The message concludes by pointing to David's later, correct procedure for moving the Ark, emphasizing obedience to established ordinance.

Don’t Defile the Garment Christ Has Given You (Communion) — Dave Bertsch — May 9, 2026
David Bertsch · May 10, 2026 · 35m
The sermon explores the meaning of 'keeping one's garments' using passages from Revelation, concluding that the garments symbolize the purity and righteousness of the believer, which is cleansed by the blood of the Lamb. The speaker warns that failing to maintain this purity leads to compromise and shame, urging the congregation to remain watchful and spotless through Christ's righteousness. The message emphasizes examining oneself to avoid defiling the spiritual life given by God.

Disciplining Ourselves to Fulfill God’s Plan for Our Lives -- Zac Poonen -- May 6, 2026
Zac Poonen · May 8, 2026 · 1h 6m
The speaker urges believers to encourage one another daily because sin is deceitful and can fool us into thinking we are spiritually free. He emphasizes that true spiritual progress requires continually asking God for light to see sin's deceptions, using the example of expecting gratitude. Ultimately, he stresses that building a life on Christ's teachings requires actively obeying the difficult standards laid out in the Sermon on the Mount, not just acknowledging them.

Do All to the Glory of God — David Bertsch — May 3, 2026
David Bertsch · May 4, 2026 · 36m
The speaker reflects on the principle of doing everything to the glory of God, referencing 1 Corinthians 10:31. He uses the story from Judges 17-18, concerning Micah's idolatry and the establishment of a false priesthood, to illustrate how people often do what is right in their own eyes. The passage highlights the danger of religious practices that are outwardly pious but inwardly corrupt and far from true devotion to God.

Zac Poonen · Apr 22, 2026 · 1h 3m
The speaker addresses single individuals, noting that marriage is not essential for fulfilling God's will, and advises young women to guard themselves against sin by being discerning rather than overly friendly. For married couples, he encourages seeking a life together that reflects 'the days of heaven upon earth,' emphasizing that humility is key. Ultimately, the message stresses that true victory over sin comes from being under God's grace, which is lost when pride takes root.

The message emphasizes that Christian life requires a deep connection to Christ, viewing the relationship like the head to the body. It stresses that worship and praise should come from a heart of genuine thanksgiving, and that believers must actively pray, asking the Holy Spirit to guide their petitions. Crucially, the speaker urges listeners to confess any unconfessed sin, as the blood of Jesus cleanses us, allowing us to stand before God with a clear conscience, even while acknowledging the ongoing process of sanctification.

The speaker establishes that if Jesus explicitly forbids an action, that action constitutes sin, setting a clear standard for believers. The focus of the church should not be merely on people seeking heaven, but rather on those desiring freedom from sin and striving to emulate Jesus in every aspect of life. He challenges the congregation to pursue a life characterized by zero impatience, anxiety, and unbelief, mirroring Christ's character.

Will You Stand in the Gap for Others -- Santosh Poonen -- February 15, 2026
Santosh Poonen · Feb 15, 2026 · 1h 0m
The sermon contrasts the world's pursuit of fleeting outward beauty with the lasting beauty found in a holy life, drawing from Psalm 96. The speaker warns that both the world and even the religious community can backslide, citing Ezekiel 22 to show pervasive sin. The core challenge is to maintain a clear distinction between the holy and the profane, resisting the devil's attempt to blend the sacred with the secular.

Santosh Poonen · Feb 13, 2026 · 1m 1s
The speaker emphasizes that understanding Jesus' sacrifice should lead to a deeper hatred for sin, not a casual attitude toward it. By fixing one's eyes on the reality of Jesus bearing our sin, the believer should feel a profound reverence and desire to live differently. This understanding prevents the false belief that sin can be treated lightly because Christ paid the penalty.

True reverence for God is an internal attitude of the heart that permeates all aspects of life, whether one is singing, working, or watching a movie. The evidence of this reverence is an immediate and instinctive recoil when a flicker of sin appears, demonstrating a constant awareness of God's presence. This internal reverence ensures that one's life remains appropriately focused on the divine.

Santosh Poonen · Feb 13, 2026 · 59s
True grace is not merely unmerited favor, but rather the power to overcome sin. The speaker warns against counterfeit understandings of grace, such as believing that current blessings like health or financial stability equate to divine favor. The definitive proof that one is under God's grace is that sin no longer has power over their life, as stated in Romans 6:14.

True teaching on sin must be constant and urgent, like an alarm clock that cannot be snoozed. The speaker warns against preaching that only addresses sin occasionally without pointing to the liberating grace of God. Genuine gospel preaching must continuously call people to take sin seriously and point them toward freedom in Christ.

Santosh Poonen · Feb 13, 2026 · 54s
The gravity of sin is proven by the necessity of Jesus Christ's death. If sin were merely a matter of personal improvement or discipline, Jesus would not have needed to die. The fact that he had to endure separation from the Father on the cross to atone for sin demonstrates the profound seriousness of sin.

Santosh Poonen · Feb 13, 2026 · 57s
The speaker urges listeners to choose a church that boldly preaches against sin, comparing such a preacher to a comprehensive doctor. He criticizes preachers who hesitate to address all sins due to fear of offending people who are comfortable in their sin. Ultimately, the choice of spiritual guidance should not be based on the preacher's pleasant demeanor.
