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 service focused heavily on worship, acknowledging the immeasurable worth of Jesus Christ through song and praise.

February 29 | Daily Devotion | Partaking of God’s Nature | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Feb 28, 2024 · 10m
The highest goal in spiritual life is to partake of God's nature, which is holiness, rather than merely avoiding sin for fear or reputation. This transformation is a process where sin becomes unnatural, like water off a duck's back. Furthermore, the speaker emphasizes that love must increase in both knowledge and discernment, which is crucial for leaders to correctly guide and protect others.

February 28 | Daily Devotion | A Reverential Fear Of God | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Feb 27, 2024 · 14m
The central message emphasizes the necessity of living with a reverential fear of God, contrasting it with the fear that leads to slavery or the misguided understanding of God's love. The speaker argues that true Christian life requires being holy and not conforming to former lusts, warning that failing to fear God leads to spiritual delusion and a lack of true freedom found in the New Covenant.

February 26 | Daily Devotion |Not Tithing! But Offering Your Body As A Living Sacrifice! |Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Feb 25, 2024 · 9m
The central message urges believers to respond to God's salvation not with mere financial tithing, but by presenting their entire bodies as a living sacrifice, as commanded in Romans 12:1. The speaker emphasizes that this sacrifice requires self-denial—cutting up one's eyes, tongue, and hands—to dedicate them to God's will rather than worldly desires. True spiritual worship is demonstrated by how one lives throughout the entire week, not just during Sunday services.

The message emphasizes the necessity of pursuing peace with all people and achieving sanctification, as these are prerequisites for seeing the Lord.

Santosh Poonen · Feb 12, 2024 · 1h 10m
The sermon addresses the danger of hypocrisy, noting that outward appearances of righteousness can mask inner sin, referencing Jesus's words to the Pharisees. The speaker encourages listeners to be willing to have their true condition exposed to the Holy Spirit for genuine change. He concludes by comparing worldly temptations to Esau losing his birthright for a meal, urging believers not to lose their spiritual inheritance, and reminding them that while they may lose daily battles, they do not have to lose the ultimate war already won by Christ.

February 9 | Daily Devotion | To Be Pleasing To The Lord | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Feb 8, 2024 · 14m
The central message is that our ultimate ambition, whether on Earth or in heaven, must be to be pleasing to the Lord.

He advises believers to prioritize hearing and obeying God's word above all other good works or personal ideas.

Zac Poonen · Feb 5, 2024 · 9m
The central message emphasizes that all actions must be performed in love, citing 1 Corinthians 16:14.

February 3 | Daily Devotion | Increase And Abound In Love | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Feb 2, 2024 · 8m
The central message emphasizes that true holiness is inseparable from love, as God is revealed as love. Drawing from 1 John and 1 Thessalonians, the speaker argues that to be established in holiness before Christ's return, believers must actively increase and abound in love for God and one another. A failure to love in specific areas of life prevents one from being ready for the Lord's coming.

Made Blameless by Jesus Christ and Looking Unto Him — Olu Talabi & Chetan — January 28, 2024
Olu Talabi · Feb 2, 2024 · 16m
The central message is that a believer's standing before God is based entirely on Christ's finished work, not on personal performance or works. While believers are called to pursue holiness and purity, this pursuit flows from the assurance that Jesus has already made them blameless. The speaker warns against the deception of thinking God's love or acceptance depends on one's own efforts, emphasizing that only the Holy Spirit can provide this assurance.

Zac Poonen - God Desires Mercy More Than Sacrifice
Zac Poonen · Jan 29, 2024 · 40m
God desires mercy and compassion more than sacrifice, and the greatest danger for churches that emphasize holiness is becoming judgmental toward others. Jesus taught the highest standards in the Sermon on the Mount, but immediately warned against judging others—maintaining external righteousness while harboring a judgmental heart is like preparing a beautiful dish but spoiling it with a dead lizard inside. The cure for sinners comes through mercy and compassion, not condemnation.

January 29 | Daily Devotion | Do Not Yield To The Downward Pull Of Your Flesh | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jan 28, 2024 · 9m
Man is uniquely created with both the dust of the earth (the downward pull) and the Spirit (the upward pull), giving him conscience and the ability to choose. The central message warns that yielding to the downward pull—whether through sin, addiction, or twisting scripture to justify sin—leads away from God. Believers must use scripture not to find comfort in sin, but to pursue holiness.

January 28 | Daily Devotion | Jesus Is Interested In The Inside Of Your Cup | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jan 27, 2024 · 7m
Jesus commended the Pharisees for their external adherence to law and their public testimony, but He warned that this external piety could mask internal hypocrisy. The speaker emphasizes that true spiritual examination must look at the 'inside of the cup,' focusing on hidden thoughts, attitudes toward others and money, and the underlying motives for all actions. Ultimately, all actions, even the simplest, must be done for the glory of God.

Zac Poonen · Jan 25, 2024 · 9m
The central message is that the one area where believers must strive for perfection on earth is in showing mercy, mirroring the mercy of God the Father. Mercy involves making allowances for the limitations of others, particularly in relationships like marriage, and this pursuit is essential for spiritual progress. The speaker emphasizes that God's mercy is vast, even towards hypocrites, and encourages the audience to emulate this standard.

A Pure Love for Jesus Only — Ajay Chakravarthy — January 21, 2024
Ajay Chakravarthy · Jan 22, 2024 · 41m
The central goal of Christian instruction is to cultivate a pure love for God and others, which must remain uncontaminated by other loves. The speaker warns that in the last days, this pure love for God risks being diluted by loves for self, money, and pleasure. He illustrates this by contrasting the superficial desire for temporary fixes with the necessity of embracing the 'living water' offered by Christ, which leads to eternal life.

CFC Messages · Jan 20, 2024 · 13m
The speaker reflects on the messages given to the seven churches in Revelation, emphasizing the danger of compromise even when the church outwardly professes faith. He warns the congregation to guard against subtle worldliness, such as gossip or neglecting first love, because the Lord's critique is more important than outward appearance. The message concludes with an exhortation to maintain purity in faith, drawing a parallel to the blind man who, after receiving his sight, immediately followed Jesus.

January 20 | Daily Devotion | Take Sin Seriously | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jan 19, 2024 · 13m
The central message urges believers to focus on pressing toward Christlikeness rather than seeking approval from others or dwelling on past failures. The speaker emphasizes that true spiritual growth requires taking sin with utmost seriousness, recognizing that the cost of sin is the blood of Jesus Christ, not merely a symbolic sacrifice. This seriousness about sin and a passion for Christlikeness should drive believers to possess every area of their lives.

January 19 | Daily Devotion | Have This Attitude Of Pressing On To Perfection | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jan 19, 2024 · 12m
The message encourages believers to adopt the attitude of constantly pressing on toward maturity and perfection, drawing parallels to a child's ambition. While acknowledging current imperfections is necessary, it is insufficient; one must actively desire and strive toward Christ-likeness. This proactive pursuit means embracing correction from others with gratitude, viewing it as a loving guide toward improvement.
