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.

September 21 | Daily Devotion | A Job For Living, But Your Time For Church Building | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Sep 20, 2025 · 9m
The central message emphasizes that the Church is a New Covenant concept, not found in the Old Testament, and requires a deep understanding of God's truth, which is often obscured by the devil. True understanding comes not from mere study, but from humility, which grants revelation from the Holy Spirit. Believers must commit to a local church body, recognizing that building up the church—a unified, responsible family—is the most enduring work, surpassing even evangelism.

September 20 | Daily Devotion | Unforgiveness As A Barrier, And Intimacy With The Father |Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Sep 19, 2025 · 11m
The central message emphasizes that unforgiveness acts as a major barrier to true intimacy with God the Father. The speaker stresses that one must actively forgive others, as failure to do so jeopardizes one's eternal standing with God. Furthermore, he encourages believers to cultivate a personal, intimate relationship with Jesus, suggesting that this relationship is characterized by calling Him 'Dad' and recognizing the work of the Holy Spirit in making us sons of God.

September 19 | Daily Devotion | The Nature Of Sin And God's Transforming Power | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Sep 18, 2025 · 11m
Sin can manifest in five areas: deeds, words, thoughts, attitudes toward people, and motives. The speaker emphasizes that all actions must be done for the glory of God, as even good deeds are sinful if the motive is wrong. He concludes by stressing that true forgiveness, mirroring God's constant forgiveness, is necessary for God to forgive us, citing Matthew 6:15.

September 18 | Daily Devotion | Diligently Seeking And Taking Hold Of Eternal Life
Zac Poonen · Sep 17, 2025 · 11m
Eternal life is defined not as a long life, but as intimately knowing God the Father and Jesus Christ. The message emphasizes that this deep knowledge is achieved by diligently seeking God, comparing it to a 'God rush' rather than a physical gold rush. Ultimately, knowing God's plans for one's life—which are for welfare and hope—requires calling upon Him in prayer and searching for Him with all one's heart.

Building Home And Church In Unity | ಐಕ್ಯತೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ಕುಟುಂಬವನ್ನು ಮತ್ತು ಸಭೆಯನ್ನು ಕಟ್ಟುವುದು | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Sep 17, 2025 · 32m
The sermon emphasizes that true unity, both in the home and the church, is built upon submission and purity of heart. Drawing from Proverbs 14:1, the speaker argues that a woman builds her house through submission to her husband, and this principle extends to the church, where Christ is the head and all members are the body. Unity requires that the head (Christ) is submitted to the Father, and all members submit to one another, preventing Satan's influence.

Knowing The Father Frees Us From Fear | ತಂದೆಯನ್ನು ಅರಿಯುವುದು ನಮ್ಮನ್ನು ಭಯದಿಂದ ಬಿಡುಗಡೆಗೊಳಿಸುತ್ತದೆ
Zac Poonen · Sep 17, 2025 · 59m
The central message is that knowing the Father frees us from fear, as stated in John 14:18, which says that perfect love casts out fear. The speaker emphasizes that true security and relationship with God, rather than wealth or earthly power, is the source of freedom from fear, particularly the fear of God's punishment. Believers have a direct, immediate connection to God through Christ, unlike previous covenants, allowing them to approach the Father directly.

Just As God Commanded | ದೇವರು ಅಜ್ಞಾಪಿಸಿದಂತೆಯೇ | Zac Poonen | Kannada
Zac Poonen · Sep 17, 2025 · 44m
The sermon draws lessons from the Old Testament account of Moses building the Tabernacle, emphasizing that God's glory resides not in outward splendor but in the inner reality. The central message is that believers are God's temple, and therefore, the focus must be on maintaining a pure heart and life lived according to God's will, rather than external appearances. True glory comes when one's life reflects God's commandments, leading to the manifestation of God's glory.

September 17 | Daily Devotion | Knowing God: The True Meaning Of Eternal Life | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Sep 16, 2025 · 12m
The central message is that true eternal life is not merely living forever, but rather a deepening, intimate knowledge of God the Father and Jesus Christ. The speaker emphasizes that this knowledge is gained through the revelation of the Holy Spirit, accessible to everyone regardless of perceived spiritual stature. He concludes by urging listeners to actively grow in this relationship with Christ, comparing it to a deepening marriage.

Zac Poonen - Be Like Little Children
Zac Poonen · Sep 16, 2025 · 11m
Jesus calls Christians to become like little children by eliminating pride, self-importance, and grudges. True conversion involves developing a childlike mindset—free from thoughts of personal greatness, inability to hold grudges, and genuine love for others—which is the path to humility and spiritual greatness in God's kingdom.

September 16 | Daily Devotion | Being Conscious Of The Lord's Presence And Being Full Of Joy Always
Zac Poonen · Sep 15, 2025 · 11m
The message emphasizes the necessity of being constantly conscious of the Lord's presence in all aspects of life, comparing it to being aware of Jesus during singing. The speaker encourages viewers to develop this awareness through persistent practice in prayer and scripture reading. Ultimately, dwelling in God's presence is presented as the source of fullness of joy, which is superior to mere rejoicing.

New-Covenant Fasting | ಹೊಸ ಒಡಂಬಡಿಕೆಯ ಉಪವಾಸ | Zac Poonen | Kannada
Zac Poonen · Sep 15, 2025 · 43m
The sermon emphasizes that fasting should be done for the heart's desire to see God's glory, not for public display. Drawing from Matthew 6, the speaker stresses that God sees the inner disposition, not just outward acts. Furthermore, fasting is presented as a discipline that helps overcome the enslavement to physical desires, both regarding food and sexual intimacy, leading to a life focused on Christ.

New-Covenant Fasting - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Sep 15, 2025 · 20m
Jesus taught that when fasting, the focus should be on the inner attitude and motive, not the external action, unlike the old covenant. Fasting is presented as a response to a deep burden for God's name to be glorified, but it is also a valuable discipline that helps free us from the slavery of food and builds self-control. Ultimately, the ability to fast and pray effectively is linked to having sufficient faith, as demonstrated by Jesus's power over the demons in Matthew 17.

Entering the Life of Victory - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Sep 15, 2025 · 1h 9m
The speaker argues that true victory over sin requires a determined effort to learn to walk, comparing this to a child learning to walk rather than remaining perpetually carried. He posits that a wholehearted disciple should achieve this 'life of victory' in about two years, drawing parallels to the Israelites' original two-year plan after leaving Egypt. He emphasizes that spiritual maturity requires actively engaging with the struggle rather than remaining in a state of perpetual comfort or care.

Dead Works And The New Covenant | ನಿರ್ಜೀವ ಕಾರ್ಯಗಳು ಮತ್ತು ಹೊಸ ಒಡಂಬಡಿಕೆ | Zac Poonen | Kannada
Zac Poonen · Sep 15, 2025 · 1h 45m
The speaker emphasizes that true understanding of God's truth, particularly regarding the New Covenant, requires moving beyond mere adherence to rules or external practices. He warns against falling into the extremes of legalism or worldly indulgence, stressing that the path of truth is narrow. Ultimately, he urges the congregation to confront their pride and self-sufficiency, as true spiritual maturity comes from a deep, humble reliance on Christ's judgment seat rather than self-proclaimed spiritual status.

September 15 | Daily Devotion | Pressing On To Perfection Behind Our Forerunner | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Sep 14, 2025 · 13m
The speaker encourages believers to stand firm in their faith, comparing the commitment of early Christians like Polycarp to the need to remain steadfast in the face of cultural pressures. He emphasizes that the last days will test faith, requiring believers to live righteously like Noah. The message concludes by urging the audience to move beyond basic knowledge ('milk') and embrace the 'solid food' of the word of righteousness, which involves actively overcoming sin in every area of life.

September 14 | Daily Devotion | Lay Hold Of God For Deliverance From Sin | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Sep 13, 2025 · 13m
The message emphasizes that receiving God's blessings and the Holy Spirit requires persistent, persistent seeking, much like the widow who pleaded with the judge day and night. The speaker contrasts this persistent faith with complacency, warning that spiritual stagnation or defeat by sin renders one vulnerable. Ultimately, the core message is to actively and persistently hold onto God for deliverance and divine intervention in all areas of life.

September 13 | Daily Devotion | A Burden To Lead People To Victory | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Sep 12, 2025 · 12m
The central message emphasizes that the Holy Spirit is given not to those who feel they deserve it, but to the most undeserving and those in desperate need. True spiritual life requires yielding everything and maintaining faith, as God's glory and kingdom must be the primary concern, not personal needs. Furthermore, believers are called to be 'rivers' of living water, concerned with leading others to salvation rather than focusing solely on personal comfort.

September 12 | Daily Devotion | A Victorious Life Over Sin | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Sep 11, 2025 · 11m
The central message is that a Christian's life must align with their professed faith, as their daily actions testify more loudly than their words. The speaker emphasizes that conquering sin, like casting off a burdensome lizard to gain a horse, allows believers to run full speed into God's kingdom. True victory comes through receiving the Holy Spirit's power and maintaining fellowship within the body of Christ.

Zac Poonen - "God Judges Elders by a Higher Standard" | Austin CFC | 2025-09-07
Zac Poonen · Sep 11, 2025 · 55m
The speaker contrasts the lower standards of the Old Covenant with the significantly higher expectations of the New Covenant, emphasizing that fulfilling these new demands is impossible without the power of the Holy Spirit. He uses the analogy of a postgraduate university requiring constant help from a teacher to illustrate this necessity, arguing that neglecting the baptism in the Holy Spirit leads Christians to fail. Ultimately, he stresses building life—personal, family, and church—on the singular foundation of Jesus Christ.

September 11 | Daily Devotion | God Has A Promised Land For The Faithful | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Sep 10, 2025 · 13m
The central message is that true victory over sin means not falling occasionally, but having learned to walk in the Lord, much like a child learning to walk. The speaker draws parallels from the Bible, noting that God's original plan for Israel was to enter the promised land two years after leaving Egypt. Believers are encouraged to move past the mindset of unbelief, recognizing that sin cannot have dominion over them, and to possess the life of victory through faith.

September 10 | Daily Devotion | Joy Is One Mark Of Divine Righteousness | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Sep 9, 2025 · 12m
True divine righteousness is marked by a joy that persists 24 hours a day, not just during religious services. The speaker cautions against superficial, performative joy seen in some charismatic circles, emphasizing that genuine joy is tested when life goes wrong or when people are difficult. Instead of focusing on external displays, one must seek this deep, internal righteousness through consistent devotion to God.

Zac Poonen - God Will Never Let You Down but Will Help You
Zac Poonen · Sep 9, 2025 · 10m
Zac Poonen encourages believers to trust God's faithfulness by remembering past miracles and ebenezers—God's markers of help. He teaches that when facing trials, we should record God's interventions, meditate on Scripture and hymns about God's constancy, and follow Jehoshaphat's example of turning from fear toward prayer and God's will, declaring our helplessness while keeping our eyes fixed on the Lord.

Zac Poonen - Testifying Honestly When Breaking Bread
Zac Poonen · Sep 9, 2025 · 6m
When breaking bread, Christians must examine themselves honestly on both the vertical dimension (relationship with God) and the horizontal dimension (relationships with fellow believers). Taking communion lightly without judging oneself and resolving conflicts with others dishonors Christ's body and can result in serious spiritual consequences, as illustrated in Scripture and seen in examples of believers who fell away.

September 9 | Daily Devotion | God's Righteousness And Peace | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Sep 8, 2025 · 12m
The central message is that true peace comes from allowing the peace of Christ to govern one's heart, which is rooted in understanding that nothing can disturb a heart aligned with God's will. The speaker uses examples from Jesus' life and David's experience to illustrate that when we accept that nothing happens outside of God's permission, we are no longer agitated by the words or actions of others. Ultimately, achieving a pure heart allows one to see God in every situation, leading to constant peace.
