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.

Don't Be One Through Whom Satan Infiltrates the Church — Santosh Poonen — January 14, 2024
Santosh Poonen · Jan 15, 2024 · 1h 13m
The speaker urges the congregation to prioritize knowing the scriptures and understanding the power of God, warning that mere knowledge without power leads to a spiritually stagnant life.

The Blessing of the New Covenant Is the Nearness of God -- Santosh Poonen -- December 17, 2023
Santosh Poonen · Dec 18, 2023 · 55m
The central message is that the true understanding of God's love is rooted in the 'fear of the Lord,' which is the beginning of wisdom. The speaker argues that this foundational fear allows one to properly understand the depth of God's love and the necessity of Christ's sacrifice. Furthermore, the New Covenant signifies a radical shift where God promises to be near to His people, unlike the distance maintained under the Old Covenant.

Don't Quit Digging Before You Find Joy — Santosh Poonen — July 30, 2023
Santosh Poonen · Jul 31, 2023 · 57m
The sermon emphasizes that the foundation of a Christian life must be Jesus Christ, as detailed in 1 Corinthians 3. While laying the foundation is crucial, believers must also ensure that their subsequent works—their ambitions, efforts, and life's work—are built with things worthy of that foundation, such as gold, silver, and precious stones, rather than perishable materials like wood, hay, or straw. The ultimate goal is to live a life that honors the precious blood of Jesus Christ.

How the Altar of God is Defiled — Santosh Poonen — May 21, 2023
Santosh Poonen · May 22, 2023 · 45m
The sermon emphasizes that God's glory manifests most powerfully not when life is perfect, but when we are in a problem, mistake, or helpless situation. Drawing from John 2, the speaker argues that God uses these 'signs' or problems to reveal His glory, contrasting this with the idea of presenting a 'cleaned up' life. Ultimately, the message encourages people to bring their struggles to God, as that is where His glory can be manifested.

Santosh Poonen · Mar 6, 2023 · 1h 3m

Santosh Poonen · Dec 12, 2022 · 52m

Furthermore, he stresses the importance of personal accountability, urging believers to pay close attention to their own lives and teaching, drawing from passages like 1 Timothy 4:16.

Santosh Poonen · May 16, 2022 · 1h 0m
The message emphasizes that hearing God's word and applying it to daily life is crucial for eternal life, comparing memorized scripture to a life-giving seed rather than a mere pebble. The speaker encourages believers to actively mourn and weep over their spiritual stagnation, particularly regarding their relationship with the Bible, because this mourning signals readiness for God's renewed revelation. Ultimately, this process leads to God no longer hiding Himself, allowing His word to become alive and exciting to the believer.

The Mark of God's Presence in a Church - 1: Prophecy -- Santosh Poonen -- March 6, 2022
Santosh Poonen · Mar 7, 2022 · 1h 5m
The speaker argues that the true test for the presence of God in a church is not emotional feeling or physical sensation, but rather adherence to the Word of God, which serves as the only reliable 'microscope.' He specifically points to prophecy as a mark of God's presence, contrasting it with speaking in tongues. True prophecy, according to 1 Corinthians 14, results in an unbeliever being convicted and called to account by all, leading them to acknowledge God's presence.

Santosh Poonen · Jan 24, 2022 · 1h 8m
The speaker draws lessons from the history of Israel, emphasizing that the Old Testament narratives serve as examples to prevent believers from repeating past mistakes. He points to Deuteronomy 30 as a promise of restoration for those who repent and obey God, and references 1 Corinthians 10 to show that the Israelites' journey through the wilderness was meant to teach spiritual lessons. Ultimately, the message is a call for believers to learn from Israel's failures and live in the freedom Christ has provided.

Knowing God By Listening to His Voice Daily -- Santosh Poonen -- July 4, 2021
Santosh Poonen · Jul 5, 2021 · 44m
The speaker emphasizes that the true understanding of the Gospel is that Jesus died so that believers should no longer live for themselves, but for Him. He draws a parallel between discerning God's voice and discerning the truth of the cross, warning that worldly wisdom or personal morality is insufficient for spiritual discernment. Ultimately, consistent daily walk with Christ is what allows one to distinguish the voice of Jesus from all other influences.

Santosh Poonen · May 24, 2021 · 1h 11m

Santosh Poonen · Jul 28, 2020 · 1h 2m
The central message is that understanding the 'why' behind our actions is more crucial than adhering to the 'what' (rules or rituals). The speaker draws a parallel between the Old Covenant, which focused on 'what should you do,' and the New Covenant, which is rooted in understanding God's purpose, which is ultimately expressed as 'because I love you.' This understanding of divine love should guide all aspects of life, from personal devotion to community gathering.

Santosh Poonen · Mar 23, 2020 · 46m
The speaker cautions against misusing scripture, citing Psalm 91 as an example of how the devil attempted to use God's Word against Jesus. He emphasizes that while God's Word is true, its application must align with God's ultimate desire and purpose, not merely personal desire or hope. True assurance comes from understanding that God's word will accomplish what He intends, as seen in Isaiah 55, and that our focus must remain on God's purpose rather than claiming verses for personal comfort.
