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.

Zac Poonen · May 6, 2014 · 59m
The sermon reviews God's promises, emphasizing that the ultimate goal is for believers to partake of God's nature.

True transformation into Christ's image requires complete submission to the Lordship of the Holy Spirit.

9.Enduring In Love - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Feb 21, 2014 · 1h 0m
The central message is that readiness for Christ's return is more important than knowing the specific details of the end times. True readiness comes from the heart, which must be detached from the world's attractions. The sermon emphasizes enduring in love amidst increasing sin and deception, drawing parallels to the 10 virgins where the oil represents the sustained life of Christ's love.

2.Great Deception - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Feb 21, 2014 · 57m
The central message is that true devotion to Christ, likened to a bride's love for her groom, should not be motivated by the fear of being caught in sin, but by a genuine, passionate love for Him. The speaker cautions against focusing excessively on end-times details, arguing that such intellectual curiosity can distract from living a godly life. True holiness comes from a deep, internal commitment to Christ, regardless of when He returns.

7.Purity In Us And Our Children - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Feb 20, 2014 · 1h 0m
The central message is that God desires a 'pure testimony' over a merely 'large' one, contrasting the glory of Jerusalem with the superficiality of Babylon. True church building requires wholehearted commitment and adherence to the New Covenant, rather than relying on worldly trappings like money or music. Believers must focus on discipleship and maintaining spiritual purity, even when the church gains popularity.

3.Making wholehearted Disciples - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Feb 20, 2014 · 1h 0m
The speaker argues that the human race is characterized by a lack of reverence for God, evidenced by the way people use their tongues to deceive and speak carelessly. True reverence leads to controlling one's speech, progressing from restraining oneself under the law to the divine nature taking over in the New Covenant. Furthermore, humanity is plagued by self-seeking interests, which the speaker contrasts with the reality of being truly born again and grafted into Christ.

1.The Burning Bush - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Feb 20, 2014 · 1h 0m
The central message is that true Christian life requires maintaining a pure testimony, symbolized by the burning bush. This purity is achieved by controlling the tongue—abstaining from gossip, complaining, and murmuring—and desiring nothing on earth except Jesus. Ultimately, believers must strive to be constantly on fire for God, allowing God to dwell within them, which is the true measure of spiritual leadership and discipleship.

Why Another Church: 4.Discipleship and Obedience - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jan 31, 2014 · 58m
The speaker discusses the warning in 1 Timothy 4 that people will fall away from the faith by following deceitful doctrines. He emphasizes that true godliness is found in the mystery revealed through Christ—that God's word was made flesh—not through external practices like celibacy, extreme fasting, or dietary restrictions. True holiness is an inward reality achieved through faith and dependence on God, manifesting corporately in the church as the Body of Christ.

Why Another Church: 3.Coming Out Of Babylon - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jan 31, 2014 · 58m
The sermon explains that a 'why another church' arises when the established leadership fails to heed warnings from the Holy Spirit, leading the congregation into backsliding. This failure is often characterized by misuse of spiritual gifts for personal gain, doctrinal drift, pride, or neglecting true holiness. Ultimately, God withdraws His presence, causing the true remnant to gather into a new, authentic church.

Sexual Temptation – Overcome It By Fearing God – Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Nov 20, 2013 · 7m
The central message is that overcoming sexual temptation requires nothing more than the fear of God, as exemplified by Joseph in Genesis 39. The speaker argues that excuses like lack of Holy Spirit filling or insufficient Bible study are insufficient; the root cause is a lack of reverence for God. Maintaining this fear of God is presented as the beginning of wisdom, which is necessary for a righteous life, including a happy marriage.

Zac Poonen - The Holy Spirit Show us Jesus - NCCF Conference Feb 2013
Zac Poonen · Nov 6, 2013 · 55m
The speaker emphasizes that true knowledge of Jesus requires recognizing Him as the Savior who forgives sin, rather than merely a 'forgiver' who addresses only outward sins. He contrasts the 'real Jesus' with a 'different Jesus' who offers earthly blessings but not freedom from sin. Furthermore, he distinguishes the Holy Spirit's work—which leads to holiness—from mere emotional displays, urging listeners to focus on the core gospel message found in the New Testament.

5.In our Obedience to the Scriptures - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Oct 18, 2013 · 1h 15m
The speaker emphasizes that true understanding of scripture cannot come from pre-conceived theological frameworks or 'molds' in our minds. Instead, one must allow the scripture itself to be the mold, allowing it to shape one's thoughts and understanding. He warns against spiritual complacency, urging listeners to pursue peace with all people and holiness, lest they fail to see the Lord. Furthermore, he cautions against despising God's grace, urging believers to live as spiritual royalty rather than as beggars.

3.The Glorious Calling of the Husband in Marriage - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Oct 18, 2013 · 1h 22m
The sermon emphasizes that the foundation for Christian life, whether in marriage, family, or the church, must be God's unconditional love. The speaker uses the analogy of a three-story building, arguing that without the foundation of God's love, the subsequent levels—personal walk with God, family life, and church community—cannot be properly built. He stresses that understanding God's love is prerequisite to loving others and maintaining a holy life.

The True Grace Of God - (1 of 2) by Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jun 4, 2013 · 59m
The central message is that the true grace of God is far greater than merely forgiving sin; it is demonstrated by the immense transformation God can bring to a person's life. The speaker warns against misunderstanding grace, cautioning that many believers settle for a low standard of living and fail to grasp the full scope of what Christ accomplished. True grace empowers the heart, enabling believers to live lives that reflect Christ's sinless example, rather than just possessing intellectual knowledge of scripture.

Getting God's Certificate, Not Man's - Zac Poonen (Telugu)
Zac Poonen · May 26, 2013 · 55m
The sermon emphasizes that true wisdom requires the ability to discern good from evil, comparing this to a child who cannot distinguish between mud and playthings. The speaker warns that spiritual immaturity prevents believers from recognizing what is truly good, citing examples like consuming inappropriate media or holding unforgiveness. The central message is that genuine growth is necessary to discern God's standard over man's, as only God is inherently good.

Through The Bible - English - 06 (Leviticus) by Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Apr 10, 2013 · 58m
The speaker emphasizes that Leviticus is a book centered on the holiness of God, comparing sin to sickness and holiness to health. He argues that the five types of offerings described in Leviticus all prefigure Christ's perfect life and death. Specifically, the burnt offering illustrates the total, perfect presentation of one's life to God, mirroring Jesus' flawless life and sacrifice.

Through The Bible - English - 56 (Colossians) by Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Apr 10, 2013 · 54m
The central theme of Colossians is that Christ dwells in us, manifesting divine life through our human bodies. Paul addresses false teachings that promote extremes regarding the body—either through asceticism or through unrestrained indulgence—both of which ultimately despise the body. The message emphasizes that sin is not inherent in the body, as demonstrated by Jesus Christ, who had a sinless human body, and that believers must choose daily to let God's life manifest through it.

Through The Bible - English - 62 (Hebrews-2) by Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Apr 10, 2013 · 57m
The sermon emphasizes that the Word of God is a living, active sword that penetrates to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart, unlike the Old Covenant law which only tested external obedience. Furthermore, the Word distinguishes between the 'soul' (human understanding/ideas) and the 'spirit' (divine reality), warning against relying on human methods for spiritual service. Believers must constantly submit to God's word to maintain a clean heart and align their lives with divine ways.

Zac Poonen · Apr 6, 2013 · 47m
The sermon warns against unequally yoking oneself with unbelievers, emphasizing that fellowship between light and darkness is impossible because God and the devil have different aims. The speaker stresses that true Christian life requires being born again and living by the values of the light, not compromising with worldly views. He also addresses the necessity of perfecting holiness through the fear of God and critiques the modern practice of ministers soliciting money from congregations.

Through The Bible - Tamil - 34 (Zephaniah & Haggai) by Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Apr 6, 2013 · 50m
The sermon emphasizes that the core message across all Old Testament prophets, including Zephaniah, is the tension between God's severe judgment against sin and His enduring goodness toward the faithful remnant. The speaker warns against superficial revivals and modern spiritual deception, urging listeners to discern true holiness from mere emotional excitement or worldly alliances. Ultimately, the focus remains on maintaining faithfulness to God amidst cultural compromise.

Through The Bible - Tamil - 25 (Isaiah - 2) by Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Apr 6, 2013 · 50m
The sermon analyzes Isaiah's condemnation of the Daughters of Zion for their outward adornments, contrasting this with God's ultimate judgment and cleansing power. It emphasizes that true holiness involves more than visible sin, pointing to the profound, uncreated nature of God's holiness. The speaker urges listeners to recognize that even after cleansing visible sins, the deeper, unseen aspects of life require a complete surrender to Christ's righteousness.

Through The Bible - Tamil - 59 (1 & 2 Thessalonians) by Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Apr 6, 2013 · 51m
This study covers the first two letters to the Thessalonians, emphasizing that the central theme in both is the second coming of Christ and the need for believers to live holy lives in preparation. Key messages include preaching the gospel not just with words but with power, resisting idols like money and pleasure, and maintaining holiness in body, spirit, and soul. The speaker warns against false prophecy and stresses that faith and love, demonstrated through perseverance amid persecution, are the most important signs of true Christian life.
