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.

Fellowship - Another Mark Of Growth by Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · May 23, 2016 · 1h 30m
The primary mark of spiritual growth is increasing humility, which must be before God, not merely for human reputation. True humility is evidenced by obedience to God's will, as God gives grace to the humble but resists the proud. The speaker emphasizes that sinning proves one is not under grace, and spiritual growth is a progression of overcoming sin in thought, word, deed, attitude, and motive.

All That Jesus Taught (Bible Study – 11 of 80) - Zac Poonen (with Romanian Subtitles)
Zac Poonen · May 20, 2016 · 25m
The sermon focuses on the teachings of Jesus, particularly the Sermon on the Mount, emphasizing that these teachings are vital for true discipleship. The speaker highlights the concept of being 'poor in spirit,' illustrating it by comparing it to a beggar who is constantly aware of his daily physical needs. This spiritual poverty means approaching God daily, recognizing one's constant need for God's wisdom and grace to receive the blessings of the Kingdom of Heaven.

Humility - The Mark Of Growth by Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · May 9, 2016 · 1h 8m
The central message is that true spiritual growth is measured by emulating the profound humility of Jesus Christ, rather than by worldly achievements or perceived status. The speaker uses Jesus' ancestry (which included figures from questionable backgrounds) and his humble birth in a stable to illustrate that God values the marginalized and the lowly. Therefore, believers must reject the tendency to boast in lineage or accomplishments, focusing instead on Christ's selfless humility.

The New Covenant Life And Church (3 of 4) - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Mar 24, 2016 · 1h 28m
The speaker warns against spiritual pride and hypocrisy, noting that many people wrongly believe God is with them despite their actions or outward piety. True assurance of God's presence comes from bearing visible fruit in both character and ministry, as exemplified by the contrast between self-reliance and trusting in the Lord. Furthermore, the speaker emphasizes that when blessed or famous, believers must imitate Jesus by withdrawing to pray privately to guard against pride.

From God, Through God and To God - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Mar 13, 2016 · 2h 5m
The sermon reflects on the early history of humanity, specifically comparing Cain and Seth from Genesis chapter 4. The speaker warns against parental arrogance, using Eve's statement about giving birth to Cain as an example of attributing accomplishment to human effort rather than divine help. He stresses the difference between genuine encouragement and puffing up a child's ego, cautioning that pride is opposed by God.

The speaker urges the congregation to focus their worries solely on the immense salvation provided by Christ, rather than worldly concerns like finances or career. He emphasizes that true Christian living, especially in the New Covenant, requires self-examination and humility, constantly being judged by the Word of God, just as the early apostles were. The core message is to live a life centered on Christ's sacrifice and grace, free from self-righteousness.

Bobby McDonald - Jesus Suffered Shame And Humiliation For Me
Bobby McDonald · Dec 28, 2015 · 10m
The speaker emphasizes that true understanding of God's word requires having the love of God in one's heart, comparing this to needing a clear lens to see the truth. He draws from scripture to show that recognizing our own sinfulness and the depth of God's forgiveness leads to a greater love for God. The sermon concludes by focusing on the profound humiliation Jesus endured, suggesting that the shame before the Father was greater than the shame of man.

The speaker reflects on finding reverence for God not in His sheer power, but in His personal care for individuals. Drawing parallels from Elijah's experience, the message emphasizes that true peace comes from completely trusting and resting in God. Ultimately, the speaker concludes that God's power is best accessed when one practices submission, choosing God's will over personal desires, which leads to freedom from anxiety and pride.

The speaker draws a lesson from Psalm 18:25, teaching that God treats people in the way they treat those below them socially or economically. He advises starting by treating others kindly as a transaction, but ultimately striving for the highest level: acting with kindness and mercy purely out of nature, expecting nothing in return, mirroring the nature of Jesus. He also notes that God affirms the wisdom of Elihu over the other three preachers in Job.

The speaker emphasizes that serving others must be motivated by genuine love, not just going through the motions. He draws parallels from Jesus washing the disciples' feet, noting that the action was underpinned by His profound love for them to the end. The message concludes by stressing the importance of humility, citing John the Baptist's declaration of unworthiness, and reminding the audience of their privilege in knowing and being loved by Christ.

Jeremy Utley - Counting our strengths as loss
Jeremy Utley · Oct 12, 2015 · 10m
The speaker discusses the spiritual danger of becoming proud due to success or compliments, using the example of King Uzziah. He emphasizes that strength itself is not the problem, but the resulting pride is. Drawing from Paul's Philippians 3, the core message is to count all personal strengths and achievements as 'loss' for the sake of Christ, ensuring that all ability is acknowledged as a gift from God to prevent spiritual stumbling.

Jeremy Utley - Rejoicing in weakness
Jeremy Utley · Oct 5, 2015 · 8m
The central message is that our weakness is not a deficit but rather the necessary condition for God's power and glory to be displayed. Drawing from Paul's writings, the speaker emphasizes that when we are weak, we are actually strong in Christ, allowing us to rejoice in our limitations. True faith involves not just accepting this truth intellectually, but actively expecting and praising God for His strength to manifest even before we fully see the fulfillment of His promises.

Bobby McDonald - The apple of God's eye
Bobby McDonald · Sep 28, 2015 · 8m
The central message is that Christians should strive to reflect Jesus by cultivating a private, intimate life with God rather than seeking validation or significance from others. The speaker draws parallels from Jesus' life, noting that even in glorious moments, he kept his divine nature a secret, encouraging listeners to avoid exalting themselves in the eyes of others. Ultimately, the greatest motivation should be knowing that we are the 'apple of God's eye,' meaning we are eternally cared for by God, regardless of human opinion.

Jeremy Utley - Praising God when we are powerless
Jeremy Utley · Sep 21, 2015 · 8m
The central message is that when we feel powerless, we should not fear because the battle belongs to God. Drawing from 2 Chronicles 20, the speaker emphasizes that true faith is demonstrated by approaching God with a spirit of desperation and humility, declaring victory through praise even before seeing it. This act of praising God in times of uncertainty proves that our focus remains entirely on Him.

3.Jesus Humbled Himself (Иисус смирил Себя) - Zac Poonen (Russian)
Zac Poonen · Sep 17, 2015 · 1h 8m
The speaker discusses the difference between divine grace (благодать) and mere favor (милость), emphasizing that grace was present with Jesus from birth to death. He cautions against theological errors, such as quoting scripture out of context or relying on popular Christian songs/teachings that lack biblical foundation. The central message is that true reality involves aligning one's teaching and preaching with one's actual lived experience, mirroring Jesus' life, and recognizing that our greatest need is obedience to God's Word, not material possessions.

Bobby McDonald - God's Presence And Our Will
Bobby McDonald · Aug 23, 2015 · 14m
The central message is that to experience God's presence, one must surrender their own will and ambitions, mirroring Jesus' life. The speaker draws parallels from Jesus' time in the temple and his quiet moments with God to illustrate that true closeness to God requires focusing solely on Him. Ultimately, the speaker equates the 'veil' separating humanity from God's presence with our own will, suggesting that crucifying our will is the way to enter into God's presence.

Zac Poonen - Principles of building a local church as Christ's body
Zac Poonen · Aug 23, 2015 · 1h 28m
The central message is that true spiritual leadership and effectiveness in building the church require profound brokenness, as God cannot work through those who rely on their own strength or perceived abilities. The speaker uses examples from scripture—Moses, Peter, and Jacob—to illustrate that God often breaks down human strength through failure before fulfilling His purpose. Ultimately, believers must learn to relinquish self-reliance and prioritize God above all else.

Bobby McDonald · Jul 19, 2015 · 7m
The central message is the importance of submitting to God's will in all circumstances. The speaker shares personal anecdotes, such as accepting traffic delays and yielding a parking spot, to illustrate that peace comes from accepting what God allows, even when it contradicts personal desires. He emphasizes that true submission, like Mary's response, means prioritizing God's will over personal rights or comfort.

Bobby McDonald - Praising the Lord all the time
Bobby McDonald · Jun 29, 2015 · 18m
The central message encourages Christians to strive to be 'hundred-fold' in their devotion to Jesus, drawing lessons from the Bible. The speaker emphasizes that true growth involves deep self-conviction, exemplified by David's repentance after sinning, and maintaining humility by owning one's own faults rather than blaming others. Furthermore, he advises praising God constantly by focusing on the blessings already received, rather than dwelling only on current lacks.

Zac Poonen - The Spirit of the fear of the Lord - SPC5
Zac Poonen · Jun 11, 2015 · 52m
The central message is that Christians must strive to be an exact reflection of Jesus by embodying humility and serving others. Jesus exemplified this by identifying with all people, even sinners, and by rejecting any form of self-exaltation, preferring to be seen as a brother and servant rather than holding titles. This principle of servant-heartedness is fundamental to a Spirit-filled church.

UK Conference : Humility And Self Judgement - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · May 9, 2015 · 1h 3m
The central message emphasizes that humility is a divine law, illustrated by how water naturally flows to the lowest point. True humility, however, is distinct from having a low self-estimate; it means recognizing one's true identity in Christ without becoming proud. The speaker urges listeners to adopt the attitude of Jesus—one of service and equality—and to remember that salvation is for sinners, not for those who believe they are superior.

The speaker shares personal reflections on anxiety stemming from trying to control every aspect of life, comparing it to trying to beat traffic or micromanage the future. He emphasizes that true freedom comes from surrendering control and focusing on heavenly treasures rather than earthly concerns. The core message is to cease striving and instead dwell on what is true, honorable, right, pure, lovely, and praiseworthy, trusting in God's provision.

All That Jesus Taught (Bible Study – 74 of 80) - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Apr 22, 2015 · 25m
The speaker analyzes Jesus' teachings by examining the disciples' failures, particularly Peter's overconfidence, to illustrate the necessity of profound humility in Christian leadership. True discipleship requires abandoning self-reliance and placing complete trust in God, mirroring the spiritual meaning of circumcision—having no confidence in the flesh. Furthermore, the speaker emphasizes that Jesus valued fellowship with even the weakest disciples, teaching that humility and alertness in prayer are best maintained corporately.
