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.

Living Without a "Plan B" - Santosh Poonen - January 8, 2012
Santosh Poonen · Apr 21, 2012 · 50m
The speaker discusses three types of Christians: the 'Santa Claus Christian,' who seeks spiritual benefit without true surrender; the 'Plan B Christian,' who maintains backup plans if God fails in certain areas; and the ideal, the 'abandoned Christian.' True Christianity, according to the speaker, involves completely abandoning oneself to God, trusting Him to do whatever He wills for His glory, rather than relying on personal security blankets or contingency plans.

The sermon outlines the vision for the local church, defining it as an expression of the universal Body of Christ. The speaker emphasizes that the church should function like a body, requiring mutual submission and cooperation rather than relying on a single leader. He draws parallels to the formation of the early church in Luke chapter 1 to illustrate how the Holy Spirit works to build up the body through individuals.

The speaker encourages the audience to listen attentively for God's voice amidst life's noise, emphasizing the importance of hearing what God is saying. Drawing from 1 Timothy 4, he cautions against falling away from the faith due to deceitful doctrines and highlights that true godliness is not measured by outward displays of piety, like fasting or missionary work. Instead, godliness is defined by the mystery of Christ manifesting in the flesh, which benefits us both in this life and in eternity.

The Secret to a Confident Faith - Santosh Poonen - November 6, 2011
Santosh Poonen · Apr 21, 2012 · 51m
The speaker argues that a truly confident faith is not merely professed on Sundays but must be lived out daily, even when facing real-life struggles like financial worry or illness. He suggests that the secret to this confidence is found in becoming a servant, referencing 1 Timothy 3:13. Crucially, he emphasizes that God does not evaluate service based on worldly qualifications or experience, but on a deeper commitment.

Those Who Submit to God - Santosh Poonen - September 16, 2011
Santosh Poonen · Apr 21, 2012 · 54m
The central message emphasizes that God's help comes to those who are brokenhearted and contrite, not those who think they have everything figured out. The speaker urges listeners to embrace brokenness, recognizing that this state allows God to work in their lives, much like crushing hard rock into dust to build the body of Christ. He concludes by urging people to move from living by old covenants or rules to entering the new covenant relationship with Christ.

The Narrow-Minded Church - Santosh Poonen - August 21, 2011
Santosh Poonen · Apr 20, 2012 · 47m
The speaker interprets Jesus' teaching on the narrow gate (Matthew 7:13-14) to distinguish between two types of groups: those who follow the easy, broad way, and those who commit to the difficult, narrow way. He clarifies that 'narrow-minded' here does not mean being rigid in earthly opinions, but rather achieving a 'zero-minded' state—clearing one's own thoughts to focus solely on God's will. Discipleship is presented not as a single event, but as a continuous, narrowing walk that requires constant discernment.
