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.

Warnings From The Original Sin - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jan 14, 2020 · 1h 10m
The speaker urges regular spiritual self-examination, comparing it to annual physical checkups. He emphasizes that while physical health and education are important, neglecting the spirit makes a person like an animal. Drawing from Genesis, he points out that the unique element of humanity, distinguishing us from animals, is the spirit, which grants a conscience and an awareness of God, allowing us to look up to God rather than being preoccupied only with earthly matters.

Zac Poonen - Keeping God's Truths Ever Fresh
Zac Poonen · Dec 19, 2019 · 45m

Zac Poonen · Dec 15, 2019 · 1h 27m
The message contrasts the Old Covenant, described as a ministry of condemnation, with the New Covenant, which is a ministry of righteousness and abounds in glory. The speaker emphasizes that living under the New Covenant means living before the face of God, where nothing needs to be hidden, unlike the Old Covenant where glory was seen to be decreasing. He distinguishes between the conviction of the Holy Spirit for sin and the destructive state of self-condemnation, asserting that God does not want believers to live under condemnation.

All That Jesus Taught (Bible Study – 39 of 80) - Zac Poonen (with Romanian Subtitles)
Zac Poonen · Nov 11, 2019 · 25m
The speaker analyzes Matthew 10, arguing that its instructions were specific to the period before the New Covenant and should not be applied wholesale to modern evangelism. He contrasts Jesus' initial directives (like not accepting money) with later teachings at the Last Supper, noting changes in provision for ministry. The core message is the necessity of understanding scripture contextually by comparing passages together to grasp the whole truth.

Zac Poonen - Knowing God as Kind and Compassionate
Zac Poonen · Oct 28, 2019 · 32m
True eternal life is defined not by longevity but by knowing God and Jesus Christ, which is a lifelong pursuit. The speaker emphasizes that our life's impact is measured by fulfilling God's will, not by the length of our lives or the gifts we possess. A major obstacle to living for God is having a wrong understanding of God—viewing Him as a strict, unmerciful tyrant rather than a loving Father.

The sermon explores the profound meaning of partaking of the Lord's Supper, focusing on the 'New Covenant' established by Jesus' blood. The speaker emphasizes that this covenant is not merely a symbolic act but represents the immense price paid for sin, which should not be treated lightly or cheaply.

Looking Back and Looking Forward - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Aug 20, 2019 · 39m
The speaker encourages the congregation to look back on God's faithfulness over the past 44 years with gratitude, drawing parallels to Moses' remembrance of the wilderness journey. He emphasizes that the church's focus must be on making disciples, which involves teaching obedience to Christ's commands. True discipleship requires three ongoing commitments: making Christ supreme in one's heart, daily dying to self by taking up the cross, and valuing Christ above all possessions.

Zac Poonen - A Solid Grip On The Christian Life (3) The Living Word of God
Zac Poonen · Aug 5, 2019 · 49m
The central message is that Christians must develop a habit of not just reading Scripture, but actively listening to the living Word of God, which is what empowers us to reflect Jesus. This requires meditating on God's word daily, which results in being firmly planted, bearing fruit in season, and never being discouraged. True prosperity is defined not by wealth, but by fulfilling God's will in this life.

Zac Poonen - A Solid Grip On The Christian Life (2) The Blood of Christ
Zac Poonen · Jul 29, 2019 · 44m
The speaker emphasizes that true Christian life requires a solid grip on knowing God as Father, which is achieved by seeking Him with all one's heart. He draws a parallel between the Israelites' deliverance from slavery in Egypt and the need for believers to cry out in deep desperation over their sin. Ultimately, the blood of Christ is presented as the only means of salvation, mirroring how the blood applied to the doorposts protected the Israelites from judgment.

Zac Poonen · Apr 9, 2019 · 56m
The speaker emphasizes the responsibility to pray for unconverted family members, both vertically (parents and children) and horizontally (siblings). He stresses consistency in prayer, citing examples like George Mueller, and advises that while the Old Covenant laws are superseded by the New Covenant, believers should claim promises found in the Psalms and later chapters of Isaiah. Finally, he redefines 'fear of the Lord' as 'reverence'—the fear of offending God—and notes that right judgment is developed by meditating on and obeying Scripture until one begins to think like Christ.

Why God Chose Men to be Leaders - Zac Poonen - April 6, 2019
Zac Poonen · Apr 7, 2019 · 48m
The speaker argues that God has entrusted the leadership roles within the church—such as apostles, prophets, and teachers—to men, citing passages like 1 Timothy 2. He emphasizes that the primary issue facing Christianity today is the neglect of the Bible as God's infallible Word, rather than gender roles. While highly valuing the ministry of women (such as bearing children and evangelism), he maintains that formal church leadership roles are designated for men.

Zac Poonen · Apr 7, 2019 · 1h 0m
The central message is that a genuine Christian life is marked by a constant, deep hunger for God's Word, likened to a newborn baby crying for milk. The speaker emphasizes that God shows no partiality, and spiritual growth depends on the measure of our desire to seek Him. He urges listeners to examine their own hearts to ensure they possess this vital thirst, which is necessary for spiritual growth in the present tense of salvation.

Zac Poonen · Apr 1, 2019 · 44m
The speaker emphasizes the importance of repeatedly hearing and studying the truth of the Gospel, citing Peter's example of persistently reminding people of what they already know. He warns that Satan's schemes often involve causing us to withhold forgiveness or become proud, which allows him to take advantage of us.

Zac Poonen · Mar 10, 2019 · 1h 3m
The speaker emphasizes that true understanding of scripture comes not from clever study or tradition, but from profound humility and revelation by the Holy Spirit. He warns against misinterpreting scripture by ignoring necessary conditions, using the cleansing of sin through the blood of Jesus as a primary example. Ultimately, one must walk in the light—living openly and truthfully—for the blood of Christ to cleanse them from sin.

Always Keep Your Conscience Clear - Zac Poonen - August 3, 2018
Zac Poonen · Mar 5, 2019 · 28m
The central message is the critical importance of keeping one's conscience clear, which the speaker compares to the eye's need for cleanliness. He argues that God breathed the spirit, including conscience, into man, distinguishing him from animals. Neglecting this conscience, whether through sin or unconfessed hurt, leads to spiritual blindness, making one unable to discern truth, even when reading scripture. Therefore, one must immediately confess sins to God and forgive others to maintain a clear conscience.

Zac Poonen · Mar 4, 2019 · 21m

He stresses that understanding scripture requires careful attention to the distinction between 'created' and 'made' and warns against legalistic adherence to tradition.

3. The Blood Of Christ And Justification - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Feb 18, 2019 · 17m
The sermon emphasizes that believers must move beyond the Old Covenant understanding of sin and atonement to grasp the reality of the New Covenant through the blood of Christ.

Understanding this truth is essential for living in the fullness of the New Covenant.

Zac Poonen · Dec 21, 2018 · 1h 4m
The sermon uses the wisdom of the ant and the teachings of Jesus regarding saving money to illustrate the importance of foresight and planning for the future.
