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.

Session 13 - Resist Satan And He Will Flee - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Oct 21, 2018 · 50m
The central message emphasizes that the secret of godliness is found in Christ, who came in the flesh, and that believers must live recognizing their dependence on Him. The sermon draws parallels between Israel's reliance on God during times of trouble and the modern Christian's need to trust in God rather than man, especially concerning finances. Ultimately, the message calls for believers to draw strength and support from Christ, who is the same yesterday, today, and forever.

Zac Poonen · Oct 7, 2018 · 1h 6m
The speaker discusses the nature of sickness, arguing that while we will not be free from illness on earth, we must pray for healing because sickness is not part of God's perfect will. He draws from scripture to argue that Jesus experienced physical ailments, not just sin, and that His incarnation was necessary for Him to fully understand human suffering. Ultimately, the message encourages believers to follow Christ by accepting that He lived fully in the flesh, experiencing everything except sin.

Zac Poonen · Sep 24, 2018 · 24m
The sermon analyzes Jesus' teachings by examining Matthew 8, contrasting Jesus' perfect ministry with the limitations of human ministry. The speaker emphasizes that while believers should follow Jesus' example in life, they cannot replicate his miracles or ministry gifts. He cautions against false teachings regarding the fulfillment of prophecy, specifically noting that the passage in Matthew 8:17 refers to aspects of Jesus' earthly life, not solely the crucifixion.

Zac Poonen · Sep 24, 2018 · 24m
Jesus taught not only through his words but significantly through his actions and how he related to people. The sermon emphasizes that understanding everything Jesus taught requires studying the entirety of the Gospels. Furthermore, the teaching highlights that God's will is always for our greater good, which sometimes means enduring suffering or not receiving immediate healing, as God's ultimate purpose is for His greater glory.

All That Jesus Taught (Bible Study – 28 of 80) - Zac Poonen (with Romanian Subtitles)
Zac Poonen · Sep 24, 2018 · 25m
The sermon emphasizes the critical importance of taking Jesus' teachings, particularly the Sermon on the Mount, seriously. Jesus taught that the way to life is a narrow gate, contrasting it with the broad path leading to destruction through uncontrolled sin like anger and lust. The speaker warns against false prophets who dilute Scripture, making the path seem easier than what Christ commanded.

Zac Poonen · Sep 11, 2018 · 58m
The sermon distinguishes between the devil's condemnation and the Holy Spirit's conviction, noting that condemnation is accusatory and destructive, while conviction is gentle guidance showing what was wrong and offering a way forward. The central message emphasizes that building a life on Christ requires more than just hearing His words; one must actively 'do' what is heard, yielding one's will to Christ's teachings, as illustrated by the parable of the wise and foolish builders.

What Grace Can Do For You - Zac Poonen - September 9, 2018
Zac Poonen · Sep 10, 2018 · 52m
The speaker emphasizes that true Christian living requires following Jesus' example, which means relying on the Holy Spirit's power rather than emotions. He stresses that obedience to God's commands requires first asking for grace, comparing this to needing money to buy bread. Furthermore, he advises filling one's mind primarily with God's Word to be equipped to handle life's trials, contrasting this with filling the mind with unnecessary worldly information.

A Full Salvation: Part 2: From the Power of Sin - Zac Poonen - July 29, 2018
Zac Poonen · Jul 31, 2018 · 1h 4m
The speaker emphasizes that while knowing salvation from the penalty of sin is the foundation of the Christian life, true maturity requires building the superstructure by growing in the power of sin. He stresses that the Bible is God's Word, containing answers to every spiritual problem, and that obedience to God's commands is for our spiritual good, much like parental discipline. Spiritual growth requires a passion for learning, similar to progressing through school grades.

Zac Poonen · Jul 31, 2018 · 47m
The speaker shares his personal journey of faith, emphasizing that true conversion is not marked by dramatic external changes, but rather by an internal commitment that requires consistent spiritual discipline like daily Bible reading and prayer. He recounts how reading John chapter 6 led him to a profound sense of assurance that God had accepted him, contrasting this with the gradual, evidence-based faith of Thomas in John chapter 20. The central message is that belief, even without physical signs, is a profound blessing.

The Old Man, The Old Covenant And The New Covenant - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jul 24, 2018 · 1h 10m
The speaker emphasizes that Jesus Christ, not the Old Covenant law, is the means by which God's people enter their full inheritance in the New Covenant life. He defines sin as anything contrary to the life of Jesus, arguing that all humanity has sinned by falling short of the perfect life Jesus lived. The core message is that believers must press on toward Christlikeness, recognizing that while forgiveness was available before, salvation from sin and eternal separation from God is achieved through Christ's sacrifice.

Zac Poonen · Jun 12, 2018 · 1h 1m
The speaker discusses two foundational promises of the New Testament: being saved from sin (Matthew 1:21) and being baptized with the Holy Spirit (Matthew 3:11). He stresses the critical difference between merely being forgiven sins and being truly saved, warning that many Christians mistake forgiveness for salvation. Furthermore, he clarifies that 'baptism' in the Greek sense means immersion, applying this concept to the Holy Spirit as a thorough filling or immersion.

The Priesthood of Melchizedek - Zac Poonen - May 26, 2018
Zac Poonen · May 31, 2018 · 1h 1m
The sermon contrasts the old covenant, which involved adherence to the law and the threat of generational curses, with the new covenant found in Christ. The speaker emphasizes that Christ redeemed believers from the curse of the law, not just by paying a price, but by becoming the curse Himself. This redemption cleanses the believer, allowing the Holy Spirit to fill them with the blessing of Abraham: being blessed and becoming a blessing to others.

Why the Old Covenant was Abolished - Zac Poonen - May 25, 2018
Zac Poonen · May 26, 2018 · 1h 2m
The speaker argues that many believers are living under the standards of the Old Covenant rather than the New Covenant established by Christ. He emphasizes that the New Covenant requires a deeper, ongoing transformation involving principles like rejoicing always and giving thanks in everything, which were not explicit commandments in the Old Testament. True Christian life requires continuous progression toward God's eternal purpose, which is to be conformed to the image of Christ through intimate fellowship with God.

7. Zac Poonen - The Whole Purpose Of God
Zac Poonen · May 14, 2018 · 1h 1m
The central purpose of life for Christians is to become an exact reflection of Jesus, which is achieved both individually through personal purity and corporately within the local church. The speaker emphasizes that true obedience is tested not by keeping major commandments, but by diligently observing the smallest ones. He stresses that the Bible's purpose is to teach, reprove, correct, and train believers to be fully equipped for every good work.

Zac Poonen · Oct 2, 2017 · 1h 13m
The speaker emphasizes that a believer must actively claim every promise in the Bible, as unclaimed promises will not materialize.

Furthermore, he cautions against meaningless repetition in prayer, citing Matthew 6:7, and advises that prayer should stem from a genuine burden given by God.
