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.

All That Jesus Taught (Bible Study – 33 of 80) - Zac Poonen (with Romanian Subtitles)
Zac Poonen · Sep 24, 2018 · 24m
The sermon explores how Jesus taught through both his words and his actions, emphasizing that true ministry requires supernatural discernment gifted by the Holy Spirit, not just academic knowledge. The speaker contrasts this with modern ministry, warning against the love of money and the tendency to rely on scripture quoting rather than divine guidance. He concludes by highlighting Jesus's humility and commitment to a life of radical surrender.

All That Jesus Taught (Bible Study – 30 of 80) - Zac Poonen (with Romanian Subtitles)
Zac Poonen · Sep 24, 2018 · 25m
The sermon emphasizes that true Christian life, building one's house on the rock, is not merely intellectual understanding or emotional excitement about Jesus' teachings. Instead, it requires the active yielding of one's will to God's will, which is the defining characteristic of true worship. This surrender of self-will, exemplified by Jesus in Gethsemane and Abraham's offering of Isaac, is what truly connects believers to God's will.

All That Jesus Taught (Bible Study – 25 of 80) - Zac Poonen (with Romanian Subtitles)
Zac Poonen · Sep 24, 2018 · 25m
The sermon reviews the ninth wrong attitude Jesus taught: judging and condemning others. The speaker emphasizes that judging is premature because we do not know the full story, the hidden motives of people's hearts, or the full context of their lives. He advises believers to wait until the Lord's return, when God will reveal hidden darkness and true motives, noting that judging others often reveals our own flawed attitudes.

Jeremy Utley - Why The Lord Allows Us to Face Trying Circumstances
Jeremy Utley · Aug 27, 2018 · 22m
The sermon explores why God allows us to face difficult circumstances, arguing that these trials serve as mirrors reflecting our true spiritual state. The central message is that these experiences are designed to reveal the 'filth of our flesh' so that we can crucify our own desires and become empty vessels for Christ. Furthermore, the speaker emphasizes that true mercy towards others stems from recognizing and remembering God's own abundant mercy toward us.

The Way To Astonishing Faith - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Aug 8, 2018 · 1h 0m
Jesus was astonished twice: first by the unbelief of his own people in Nazareth, and second by the faith of a Centurion who, despite his background, trusted Jesus's word completely. The speaker emphasizes that genuine faith, which is a total confidence and dependence on God, is rooted in humility—recognizing one's unworthiness before God. This humility is presented as the necessary first step toward true worship and faith.

Living Constantly at Rest in God - Zac Poonen - August 5, 2018
Zac Poonen · Aug 7, 2018 · 1h 8m
The speaker contrasts the typical classroom setting with the intimate, family-like atmosphere of sharing God's word. He emphasizes that true spiritual growth comes not from mere religious knowledge or ministry activity, but from increasing in love and humility. Ultimately, he draws parallels between Christ's life—marked by profound humility—and the believer's calling to rest in God's provision and fellowship, mirroring God's rest after creation.

God Rejoices Over Humble And Lowly People (Zeph 3:12,13 & 17) - Ian Robson
Ian Robson · Jul 25, 2018 · 1h 1m
The sermon encourages deep meditation on the Book of Zephaniah, particularly contrasting the coming judgment of the Day of the Lord with the promise that God will rejoice over His people. The central message is that believers should not fear anything because God is in their midst as a victorious warrior, leading to a life lived in humble reliance on God's Word rather than self-pride or false hope.

Bobby McDonald - Being Convinced Of Our Weakness
Bobby McDonald · Jul 18, 2018 · 11m
The central message is that true spiritual strength and growth come not from personal effort, but from acknowledging one's own weakness and dependence on God. The speaker uses scripture, particularly 2 Corinthians 12:9, to illustrate that God's power is perfected in weakness. He emphasizes that self-reliance is futile, comparing it to an impossible perpetual motion machine, and that genuine transformation requires experiencing failure until one admits inability.

Old Covenant Christian or New Covenant Christian ? - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jul 13, 2018 · 54m
The speaker contrasts the 'Old Covenant' and 'New Covenant' understanding of Christianity, emphasizing that true Christian life involves possessing the full inheritance purchased by Christ. He stresses that the mark of the New Covenant is having a heart of genuine humility, viewing others as more important than oneself, which is a difficult but necessary step. The message concludes by urging listeners to stop seeking fulfillment in worldly things like profession, money, or fame, and instead to seek God wholeheartedly, trusting in His plan for their lives.

Givers and Takers, and the Pathway to the Throne - Santosh Poonen - June 17, 2018
Santosh Poonen · Jun 18, 2018 · 52m
The central message emphasizes that the Father's pleasure is to give the kingdom to the 'little flock,' which is characterized by a pure heart. True spiritual insight and connection with God do not come from academic study or overcoming sin alone, but from having a pure heart that offers one's life to the Lord with all its brokenness. The sermon contrasts the disciples' desire for earthly status and authority with Jesus' teaching that greatness in the Kingdom is found in serving and sacrificing one's life for others.

Austin CFC Zac Poonen conf 2018 - Part 6 - You cannot Serve God and Earthly Wealth
Zac Poonen · Jun 12, 2018 · 1h 23m
The central message is that Christians must focus their lives on building the Church—the bride of Jesus Christ—as this is the only thing that will endure judgment. Drawing parallels from Moses, the speaker emphasizes that God uses people only after they have been reduced to zero, stripping away self-confidence and worldly knowledge. True service requires humility and reliance solely on God's power, not personal ability.

Zac Poonen · Jun 12, 2018 · 1h 0m
The speaker emphasizes that true Christian service requires recognizing our own helplessness and continually seeking the filling of the Holy Spirit. He draws parallels from biblical figures like Moses, Elijah, and John the Baptist to illustrate how even powerful individuals faltered at the end of their lives. The central message urges believers to emulate Jesus by aiming to live and end life as a humble servant washing the feet of disciples, rather than seeking earthly honor or position.

CFC Messages · Jun 3, 2018 · 1h 36m
The message centers on the theme of surrender, drawing a parallel between Jesus' prayer in Gethsemane—'not my will but yours be done'—and the need for believers to offer their entire selves as a living sacrifice. The speaker encourages the congregation to emulate this total surrender to God's will, drawing further parallels to Jacob's struggle and eventual blessing.

The central message emphasizes that true Christian life requires profound brokenness before God, acknowledging that nothing is possible apart from Him. The speaker draws parallels from the loaves and fishes and Moses's inability to speak to illustrate that one must surrender everything and let God break their will. Furthermore, the sermon stresses the necessity of being quick to forgive others and quick to ask for forgiveness, mirroring Jesus washing the disciples' feet as an example of humble service.

4. Zac Poonen - Brokenness
Zac Poonen · May 13, 2018 · 57m
The speaker emphasizes that true Christian fellowship, symbolized by the breaking of bread, requires more than mere ritualistic obedience; it demands deep understanding. He argues that brokenness—the breaking of self-importance and ego—is crucial because it allows the power of God to be released, much like the loaves multiplied or the perfume was released. Ultimately, being broken is necessary to participate fully in the fellowship of Christ and to be used mightily by God.

1. Zac Poonen - The Two Great Mysteries
Zac Poonen · May 13, 2018 · 1h 4m
True understanding of God's mysteries comes not from mere study or intellect, but through the revelation of the Holy Spirit. The speaker emphasizes that humility is crucial, as pride prevents us from grasping God's deeper truths. He illustrates this by comparing Jesus' ultimate humility—washing the disciples' feet—to the nature of God the Father, suggesting that true discipleship mirrors this lowliness.

Zac Poonen - Some Essentials Of The New Covenant Life
Zac Poonen · May 2, 2018 · 53m
The speaker emphasizes that the core goal of Christians is to reflect Jesus by growing in personal purity and functioning within the local church. He discusses the profound justice demonstrated by God on the cross, noting that Jesus paid the infinite price for sin's eternal separation from God. Furthermore, he argues that true faith is not difficult to achieve, citing the example of the humble Roman centurion, whose faith was rooted in humility, which is the necessary counterpart to faith.

God's Power Shows Up Best In Weak People - Ian Robson
Ian Robson · Apr 24, 2018 · 34m
The central message is that God's power is most evident and perfected when we embrace weakness, contrasting with the world's desire for strength. Drawing from 2 Corinthians 12, the speaker emphasizes that Paul's experience taught him that his weakness allowed the power of Christ to dwell in him, making him 'dynamite.' True spiritual sufficiency comes from accepting this divine grace, even through hardship.

Jeremy Utley - Weeding Out All Bitterness Until We’re As Gentle As Jesus
Jeremy Utley · Mar 21, 2018 · 20m
The central message is the necessity of actively rooting out bitterness to become a reflection of Jesus' gentleness and humility. The speaker emphasizes that true spiritual growth involves moving away from self-condemnation and instead focusing on receiving rest and grace from God. He warns that bitterness, like a weed, can spread and defile not only the individual but also those in their community.

Starting Well But Finishing Badly - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Mar 9, 2018 · 1h 25m
The speaker uses the Israelites' failure to enter the Promised Land, despite experiencing many miracles, as a warning that spiritual gifts and experiences do not guarantee God's favor. He emphasizes that Christians must guard against carnal living, even while exercising spiritual gifts, and reminds the audience that every temptation they face is within their ability to overcome because God is faithful. The ultimate way of escape from temptation is through humility.

Do Not Stumble The Children - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Feb 5, 2018 · 24m
The sermon emphasizes that true greatness in the Kingdom of Heaven is found in the humility of a child, rather than the desire for fame within the church. The speaker urges the congregation to meditate on childlike thoughts while maintaining adult responsibility. Furthermore, he warns seriously against despising or causing little children to stumble, comparing such actions to the severe judgment described by Jesus.

21st January 2018 - Jesus Should Be The Glory In Our Lives - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jan 21, 2018 · 1h 54m
The message centers on the profound lesson from Matthew 18 regarding the desire to be great, contrasting the worldly desire for recognition within the church with the humility of a little child. The speaker urges the congregation to meditate on the simple thoughts of a baby to achieve spiritual growth, while also balancing this with the maturity required for adult responsibilities within the church.

"Imitate Me As I Imitate My Father" - Santosh Poonen - December 10, 2017
Santosh Poonen · Dec 11, 2017 · 45m
The speaker emphasizes that sin fundamentally stems from a lack of heavenly perspective, drawing strength from promises like Revelation 3:21. He focuses heavily on Matthew 18, arguing that children represent the opposite of worldly values like greatness or wealth, and that becoming like a child—humble and dependent—is essential for entering the Kingdom of Heaven. Furthermore, he stresses the extreme seriousness of adults modeling Christ's life, warning that actions that cause children to stumble carry severe spiritual consequences.
