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.

22nd March 2020 - Knowing God, Our Father, Our Forerunner And Our Helper - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Mar 22, 2020 · 1h 19m
The message emphasizes the importance of knowing God as Father, Jesus as Forerunner, and the Holy Spirit as Helper, especially in the last days. It warns that the Antichrist's influence will lead people away from the New Covenant, which promises deliverance from sin, not just forgiveness. True Christian life means living moment-by-moment by the Word of God, like a branch constantly receiving sap from the tree.

Fulfilling God's Plan - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Mar 20, 2020 · 1h 27m
The central message is that true understanding of scripture does not come from human cleverness or academic study, but requires divine revelation, which is often facilitated by the Holy Spirit. The speaker emphasizes that one must approach the Bible with the humility of a child, contrasting this with the intellectual pride of those who rely solely on their own intelligence. He cites Jesus' words about hidden truths being revealed to the humble rather than the clever.

All Things Work for Our Good - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Mar 20, 2020 · 1h 16m
The sermon emphasizes that true love for Jesus Christ is demonstrated by keeping His commandments, citing John 15. It draws a parallel between keeping commandments and being filled with the Holy Spirit, arguing that both are vital commands found in Ephesians 5. The speaker stresses that being filled with the Spirit is not merely about outward signs like speaking in tongues, but requires a genuine, internal disposition of constant thanksgiving and obedience.

Zac Poonen - Knowing God - Our Father, our Forerunner, and our Helper
Zac Poonen · Mar 16, 2020 · 52m
The central message is that Christians must live in a constant, moment-by-moment dependence on God, mirroring the life of a branch connected to a tree. This continuous connection, facilitated by the Holy Spirit in the New Covenant, is what allows believers to bear fruit. Furthermore, true strength in the last days comes not from personal effort or good works, but from resting entirely on the imputed righteousness of Christ, which defeats the devil's accusations of guilt.

15th March 2020 - The Last Days Faith That Overcomes Fear - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Mar 15, 2020 · 1h 41m
The speaker emphasizes that in the New Covenant, prophecy is not meant to direct people with specific commands, unlike in the Old Testament. Instead, it serves to prepare the church for the future, revealing things that are to come. He encourages the congregation to remain attentive to the Word of God, recognizing that the Holy Spirit guides the church in preparation for the days ahead.

Freedom From All Condemnation - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Feb 28, 2020 · 1h 3m
The speaker contrasts the Old Covenant, which is described as a 'Ministry of condemnation,' with the New Covenant, which is a 'Ministry of righteousness.' He emphasizes that believers should live under the grace of the New Covenant, which means accepting the righteousness of Christ rather than falling into self-condemnation. True conviction comes from the Holy Spirit, but this must not lead to condemning oneself or others, as this behavior mimics those who worship false gods.

The Covering of Reproach on the Church - Zac Poonen & Santosh Poonen - February 16, 2020
Zac Poonen · Feb 19, 2020 · 14m
The central message is that building the church requires embracing the 'reproach of Christ,' which the speaker compares to considering Christ's reproach greater riches than the treasures of Egypt (worldliness). True discipleship involves following Jesus even when it leads to opposition, and the church must be understood not merely as a gathering, but as the living Body of Christ, which requires daily self-denial and being filled with the Holy Spirit.

All That Jesus Taught (Bible Study – 37 of 80) - Zac Poonen (with Romanian Subtitles)
Zac Poonen · Nov 11, 2019 · 24m
The sermon emphasizes that Christian life, particularly in the New Covenant, is guided by the Holy Spirit's leading rather than rigid adherence to rules or laws. Jesus demonstrated this by being willing to interrupt his planned activities for those in need, yet he also knew when to decline invitations to fulfill God's greater purpose. Believers must learn to discern which calls to respond to, living by the principle of Christ's witness rather than legalistic observance.

He advises believers to practice love by being patient and ensuring that love never seeks its own, starting with one's own home. Furthermore, he urges the congregation to earnestly desire the gifts of the Holy Spirit, specifically prophesy, rather than focusing on gifts that only benefit the self.

We Have A Father Who Loves Us As Much As He Loved Jesus - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Oct 16, 2019 · 13m
The central message is that the world must know that God loves humanity as much as He loved Jesus, drawing from John 17:23. The speaker emphasizes that the New Covenant relationship allows believers to approach God intimately, calling Him 'Dad' privately, unlike the Old Covenant practices. He stresses that receiving the fullness of the Holy Spirit and forgiveness is not based on deserving it, but on acknowledging one's utter unworthiness.

Zac Poonen · Oct 14, 2019 · 9m
The speaker recounts his journey to Christianity, noting that his initial conversion experience lacked a dramatic event, leading him to seek deeper assurance.

Zac Poonen · Aug 26, 2019 · 1h 0m
The central message is that true Christian life requires a solid grip on several key areas: knowing God intimately as Father, understanding the cleansing power of Christ's blood through repentance, living by the 'Living Word' of God, experiencing the fullness of the Holy Spirit, embracing the way of the Cross, and finally, becoming fully united in the Body of Christ. The speaker warns that many Christians are spiritually deficient in these areas, contrasting the New Covenant blessings with the limitations of the Old Covenant.

What God Has Done In Our Marriage - Zac & Annie Poonen Testimony (51st Anniversary)
Zac Poonen · Aug 2, 2019 · 1h 14m
The speaker emphasizes that the true purpose of Christian marriage is not happiness, but glorifying God by reflecting the relationship between Christ and the Church. A strong Christian marriage begins by being filled with the Holy Spirit and requires both spouses to be mutually subject to one another. Ultimately, the primary aim must be Christ, making Him the supreme focus of one's life, even before considering marriage.

What It Means To Be The Light Of The World - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jul 15, 2019 · 42m
The central message is that every Christian must take the responsibility of being the 'light of the world,' a calling that is personal and profound. The speaker emphasizes that this calling requires more than just knowing Scripture; it demands the guidance of the Holy Spirit to overcome sin and live lives that bring honor to Christ's name. True Christian living is measured not by public testimony, but by one's private conduct before God and Satan.

The Mind of the Spirit is Peace - Zac Poonen - June 9, 2019
Zac Poonen · Jun 10, 2019 · 57m
The sermon emphasizes that true peace, mirroring the angels' praise, comes from having a clear conscience and living for the glory of God. Peace with God is maintained by confessing everything and keeping one's conscience clear, as a troubled conscience is worse than a physical ailment. Ultimately, the speaker teaches that the way to discern God's will is to seek the peace that comes when one's mind is set on the Holy Spirit, which is accessed by listening to one's conscience.

Our Calling is to be Heavenly-Minded - Zac Poonen - June 5, 2019
Zac Poonen · Jun 6, 2019 · 52m
The central message is that believers must adopt a 'heavenly-minded' focus by understanding their union with Christ—that they died, were buried, and were raised with Him. This union means their life is hidden with Christ in God, compelling them to seek things above rather than earthly attachments. This transformation requires the Holy Spirit's help to break human attachment to worldly things.

Seek To Be Filled With The Holy Spirit - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jun 5, 2019 · 39m
The speaker emphasizes that true church commitment comes from a deep desire, not mere convenience. He draws parallels from scripture, noting that out of 500 people who saw the resurrected Jesus, only 120 waited for the Holy Spirit's power. The central message is that God is more eager to fill a person with the Holy Spirit than the person is to receive it, requiring the individual to loosen their grip on earthly things, like money or other possessions, to receive God's gifts.
