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.

Zac Poonen · Sep 23, 2012 · 57m
The speaker advises believers to shift their focus from fighting with people—whether in family, politics, or community disputes—to confronting the devil, as is appropriate in the New Covenant.

The speaker emphasizes that true Christian understanding must move beyond merely being forgiven to being saved from sin, citing Matthew 1:21. He contrasts the Old Covenant, where the Spirit was merely 'upon' people, with the New Covenant, where the Spirit dwells 'within,' requiring a heart cleansed first. He warns against prioritizing God's use of us over our inner cleansing, and discusses the true meaning of baptism as immersion in the Holy Spirit, which requires continuous filling.

"Fellowship In the Body of Christ" by Zac Poonen (8 July 2012)
Zac Poonen · Jul 11, 2012 · 46m
The sermon emphasizes that the Church is meant to be a unified 'body' connected inwardly to Christ, unlike a mere 'congregation' of people with shared interests. True unity and function within the body depend not just on spending time together, but on the perfect, internal connection to the Head (Christ). To be an effective member, one must possess both spiritual health (freedom from sin) and power.

19.Finding A Good Church - Zac Poonen (With Tamil Translation)
Zac Poonen · Jun 24, 2012 · 27m
The speaker emphasizes that the truth of God's Word, like a surgeon's knife, can be painful but is necessary to remove sin's cancers from our lives. He stresses that believers must first apply this sharp word to their own sins—such as anger, lust, or greed—before having the authority to speak against them in others. Regarding finding a good church, the speaker argues that no church is perfect, as all contain sinners; instead, one should choose a church that maintains a high standard of preaching the whole truth, much like choosing a hospital with high hygiene standards despite having sick patients.

The core message is to maintain order and respect in all spheres of life, recognizing that governing authorities are established by God.

Zac Poonen · Jun 24, 2012 · 27m
The Holy Spirit builds the Church, the body of Christ, by giving different functions and gifts to its members, just as different parts of a human body work together.

The speaker cautions against seeking knowledge merely for information, comparing it to the Tree of Knowledge, and instead emphasizes seeking life and godliness through scripture.

Zac Poonen · Apr 19, 2012 · 1h 0m

The true church is not a building or denomination, but the body of Christ gathered by the Holy Spirit. Drawing from 1 Corinthians 12, the speaker emphasizes that every member, no matter how weak or gifted, is essential to the body, and the head (Christ) never dismisses any part. The church must reflect Christ's humility and value every believer, contrasting this with mere performance or personal gain.
