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.

The speaker uses the experience of losing and finding a dog to illustrate spiritual parables, referencing the lost sheep and the lost coin. He emphasizes that just as much effort was spent finding the dog, God diligently searches for us. The core message, drawn from Job 33, is that God actively works to bring us back from spiritual death, and the key to this deliverance is acknowledging our sin and repenting.

The message centers on the command and promise found in Acts 2:38: to repent and be baptized to receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. The speaker emphasizes that repentance must be immediate when convicted of sin, and the Holy Spirit empowers believers to overcome sin, comfort in trials, and testify of God's presence. Furthermore, the speaker claims the promise that God will pour out the Spirit on all people, including future generations.

22nd May 2022 - CFC Sunday Church Service | The Importance of True Repentance - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · May 22, 2022 · 1h 11m
True repentance is essential for spiritual growth, as God grants grace to the humble. The speaker emphasizes that humility is the root cause of receiving God's grace, which in turn provides victory over sin. He argues that many common struggles—such as losing temper, lust, or materialism—stem from a lack of humility and subsequent lack of grace.

The speaker encourages listeners to internalize the truths they hear in sermons rather than letting them pass by. He emphasizes that a key barrier to applying biblical truth is failing to be ruthlessly honest with oneself regarding sin, rather than dismissing it as a mere mistake. He points to examples from Paul's life and writings, stressing the importance of striving for a clear conscience before God, and warns against spiritual pride, using the analogy of cleaning only the outside of a cup while ignoring the inside.

Exposing Satan’s Activity and Deception — Santosh Poonen — May 15, 2022
Santosh Poonen · May 16, 2022 · 1h 0m
The message emphasizes that hearing God's word and applying it to daily life is crucial for eternal life, comparing memorized scripture to a life-giving seed rather than a mere pebble. The speaker encourages believers to actively mourn and weep over their spiritual stagnation, particularly regarding their relationship with the Bible, because this mourning signals readiness for God's renewed revelation. Ultimately, this process leads to God no longer hiding Himself, allowing His word to become alive and exciting to the believer.

Zac Poonen - Peace In Our Hearts And With All People
Zac Poonen · Apr 25, 2022 · 26m
The central message is that true peace—both in our hearts and with others—comes from internal purity, not just outward appearance. Drawing from Matthew 23, the speaker explains that one must clean the inside before the outside can appear clean. This internal cleansing is achieved through confessing sin and maintaining a right relationship with God, which results in the 'perfect peace' that is a birthright through faith in Christ.

Spiritual Wake-up Call -- Ajay Chakravarthy -- April 24, 2022
Ajay Chakravarthy · Apr 25, 2022 · 41m
The sermon emphasizes the necessity of spiritual preparation for eternity, urging listeners to live today in a way that honors God. Key points include the importance of confessing sins to cleanse one's conscience through the blood of Christ, and the absolute necessity of forgiving others, as this is a question that will be asked in eternity. The speaker uses King Asa as an example of a righteous life lived in preparation for God's judgment.

Revelation Changes Our Life - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Apr 20, 2022 · 1m 49s
True understanding of scripture goes beyond mere knowledge or intellectual belief; it must become a personal revelation that fundamentally changes one's life. This transformation should affect one's attitudes toward sin, the world, money, and even enemies. Without this life change, all scriptural knowledge is ultimately useless.

Jeremy Utley - A Godly Attitude Towards Enemies
Jeremy Utley · Apr 13, 2022 · 11m
The sermon uses Psalm 54 and accounts of David's life to illustrate a godly response to enemies. While David praises God for deliverance, the speaker challenges the tendency to wish punishment on enemies, contrasting it with the New Covenant call to forgive, as exemplified by Jesus. Ultimately, the message shifts focus to God's desire for the wicked to repent and live rather than to die.

The central message emphasizes desiring compassion and mercy over mere ritualistic sacrifice, drawing from Matthew 9:13. The speaker urges the listeners to examine their hearts regarding those who do not know the Lord or are struggling with sin, advocating for mercy in all dealings rather than judgment. Ultimately, the message calls for believers to be merciful because the Lord has been merciful to them, remembering that mercy triumphs over judgment.

Zac Poonen - Jesus Came To Call Sinners To Repent
Zac Poonen · Apr 11, 2022 · 25m
Jesus primarily condemned hypocrisy, which the speaker notes is a sin rarely mentioned in the Old Testament. The sermon analyzes three types of sinners using the Prodigal Son parable: the accidentally lost sheep, the self-serving prodigal son, and the self-righteous elder brother. Ultimately, the central message is the necessity of humility, urging believers to treat everyone with respect, recognizing that true spirituality involves considering others as more important than oneself.

Bobby McDonald - Preventing Spiritual Leaks By Judging Ourself
Bobby McDonald · Apr 5, 2022 · 17m
The central message is the necessity of diligently and honestly examining oneself, comparing it to inspecting a pipe for hidden leaks. The speaker urges listeners to look closely at subtle sins, attitudes, or areas of carelessness in their spiritual lives, as ignoring them will cause damage over time. True spiritual health requires a willingness to confront the truth about oneself, repent, and strive for excellence, much like an athlete constantly seeking improvement.

Jeremy Utley - Take the Fight for Peace Seriously
Jeremy Utley · Mar 23, 2022 · 14m
The central message is that believers must take the pursuit and evidence of peace very seriously, as it is deeply connected to sanctification. True peace, characterized by the rule of Christ's peace in the heart, is the evidence of cleansing and repentance. When peace is absent, it signals a need to confess sin and seek forgiveness, recognizing that the peace of Christ must rule the heart before one can properly respond to life's disturbances.

The service focused heavily on themes of praise, rest in God, and the believer's sanctification. Key hymns emphasized that true holiness comes by faith in Jesus, not by personal effort, and that the church is chosen and sanctified by God. The closing prayer directed the congregation to fix their hopes on heaven, acknowledging Christ's victory over sin and death, and praying for genuine repentance and deliverance from spiritual battles.

Look to Jesus and Run Without Regret (Message to Women) -- Annie Poonen -- March 16, 2022
Annie Poonen · Mar 19, 2022 · 42m
The message addresses the burden of regret, assuring listeners that God's love and forgiveness are vast enough to cover any past mistakes. Using examples like Paul's conversion and Moses's past failures, the speaker emphasizes that we should not dwell on the past but instead focus on God's present power. God calls us to forget our failures and trust in His ongoing provision and strength.

Yet There is One Ray of Hope -- Ajay Chakravarthy -- March 13, 2022
Ajay Chakravarthy · Mar 18, 2022 · 44m
The central message is that even in times of deep discouragement and hopelessness, there remains a 'ray of hope,' exemplified by Lamentations 3:21-22. The speaker emphasizes the need to pay close attention when God speaks, warning against hardening one's heart. He illustrates this with personal anecdotes and biblical examples, such as the Prodigal Son and Peter's denial, all pointing to God's persistent invitation to return.

The speaker draws parallels between Moses' difficult leadership journey and the assurance found in Exodus 33:14—that God's presence brings rest. He emphasizes that the goal of Christian life and preaching should be to testify about what God has done personally, echoing the sentiment of Psalm 107:2. The message concludes by noting God's patience, referencing the long wait for judgment in Eli's case, and the possibility of repentance even among unbelievers, as seen with the Ninevites.

The speaker emphasizes the critical importance of radical honesty before God, drawing heavily on the Book of Revelation. He contrasts the self-deception of the lukewarm church in Laodicea with the genuine struggles of Smyrna, urging believers to be watchful and repent. The message concludes by highlighting Daniel's model of confession, where he repeatedly and humbly acknowledged the sin of the people, demonstrating profound self-accountability.

Ajay Chakravarthy · Feb 28, 2022 · 51m
The central message is that instead of focusing on predicting future events or answering every curiosity, believers must focus on two things: repentance and being filled with the Holy Spirit. The speaker warns against deception, particularly the subtle ways sin can rule over our hearts, which often stems from unconfessed pride. True readiness comes from loving the truth and being honest with oneself about where grace is lacking.

A Reverential Fear Of God - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Feb 18, 2022 · 1h 6m
The speaker emphasizes that true Christian life requires a reverential fear of God, which is distinct from the fear of man or fear of death. Living according to one's former lusts indicates ignorance of God, whereas the believer must strive for holiness because God is holy. This reverence is presented as the foundation for freedom, contrasting with the danger of falling into a 'no covenant' state where fear of God is absent.

Living With a Sense of Urgency Before Christ's Return -- Santosh Poonen -- February 6, 2022
Santosh Poonen · Feb 12, 2022 · 51m
The speaker urges the congregation to live with a profound sense of urgency because Christ's return is imminent. He warns against adopting a mindset of waiting for physical evidence, like the Antichrist, before fully committing to Christ. Drawing parallels from Noah's Ark, he emphasizes that when the door closes, there is no more opportunity for repentance, urging believers to imitate God in all aspects of life.

Zac Poonen - Only Those Who Are Merciful to Others Will Obtain Mercy From God
Zac Poonen · Feb 7, 2022 · 20m
The central message is that true belief in being a sinner saved by grace must manifest as sacrificial love and mercy toward others. The speaker warns against spiritual pride, comparing those who judge others (like the Pharisees) to those who lack mercy. He concludes by citing James 2:13, stating that mercy triumphs over judgment, meaning that showing mercy to others is the proof of receiving God's mercy.
