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 – 42 of 80) - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Feb 12, 2015 · 25m
The sermon discusses the prophecy of Elijah's return before the Second Coming of Christ, emphasizing that this ministry will focus on restoring broken relationships within families and the church. The speaker argues that the Church itself, functioning as a body, is the modern manifestation of this 'Elijah' spirit, tasked with proclaiming repentance. The core message is the warning that one cannot serve both God and Mammon (material wealth).

All That Jesus Taught (Bible Study – 29 of 80) - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Feb 11, 2015 · 25m
The central message is that true discipleship requires more than mere belief; it demands genuine repentance and a life lived according to Christ's teachings, as illustrated by the Sermon on the Mount. Salvation is by grace through faith in Christ's atoning work, which necessitates turning from sin. Genuine faith will inevitably produce good works and a desire to live righteously, proving that 'faith without works is dead.'

All That Jesus Taught (Bible Study – 26 of 80) - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Feb 11, 2015 · 24m
The speaker interprets Jesus' warning not to give what is holy to dogs or throw pearls before swine as a caution regarding who receives spiritual truths. He argues that this means not giving profound teachings, like the Sermon on the Mount, to those who are not spiritually receptive or born again. True understanding of God's grace and the need for repentance is reserved for those who recognize their fallen state before God.

All That Jesus Taught (Bible Study – 17 of 80) - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Feb 10, 2015 · 25m
The speaker emphasizes that Christians must move beyond merely knowing Jesus as a forgiver to understanding Him as a Savior who saves people from sin. He uses the examples of anger and lust to illustrate that repeatedly sinning and seeking forgiveness only addresses the symptom, not the root problem of sin itself. True spiritual literacy means recognizing the seriousness of sin and actively seeking salvation from its power, rather than just receiving forgiveness for past acts.

The speaker emphasizes that our actions significantly affect our perception, urging the audience to see God clearly by taking sin seriously. He draws from scripture to show that sin defiles the mind and conscience, hindering one's ability to see right from wrong. Furthermore, the message stresses that the ultimate goal is fellowship with God and others, which sin ruins, requiring constant cleansing to maintain unity.

Zac Poonen · Jan 29, 2015 · 1h 3m
The sermon emphasizes that true possession of God's kingdom is not based on worldly status or wealth, but rather on a poor spirit. The speaker draws from scripture to teach that humility and recognizing one's spiritual need are prerequisites for entering and inheriting the Kingdom of God. This requires a deep acknowledgment of one's spiritual poverty before God.

8.Repenting From Dead Works - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jan 28, 2015 · 1h 4m
The central message is that Christian actions, even those that appear righteous, can become 'dead works' if they are not motivated by genuine love for Christ. The speaker emphasizes that true devotion must come from the heart, citing examples like praying to impress others or giving offerings unhappily. He urges listeners to examine their motives and seek the Kingdom of God first, which is characterized by righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit.

Zac Poonen · Jan 28, 2015 · 1h 4m
The central message emphasizes that true love for God necessitates loving one's neighbor, as demonstrated by Christ's example. The speaker stresses that forgiveness is paramount, warning that withholding forgiveness from others will result in the heavenly Father withholding forgiveness from the individual. He uses parables and scripture to teach that forgiveness must be given infinitely and freely.

9.Worshipping God In Spirit And Truth - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jan 28, 2015 · 27m
True worship, as taught by Jesus, must be offered in spirit and truth, a capacity only fully realized after the coming of the Holy Spirit. To worship correctly, one must first confess all sin and be completely surrendered to God's will, free from murmuring or complaint. Ultimately, genuine worship is demonstrated by prioritizing Christ above all earthly possessions, status, or comfort.

6.A Ministry OF Encouragement & Peace - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jan 28, 2015 · 1h 0m
The sermon emphasizes that the church is built by ordinary believers with a special calling, not by priests or pastors as often misunderstood. It outlines the biblical pattern of church leadership (apostles, prophets, teachers) and stresses that the primary message of all true prophets, including John the Baptist, is repentance and holiness. The speaker warns against false teaching, cautioning that superficial signs like miracles and healings are less important than deep biblical teaching, as people can experience miracles and still face spiritual condemnation.

The speaker encourages believers to dedicate their bodies to the Lord, drawing from 1 Corinthians 6:13, by resisting the temptations of food and immorality. He emphasizes that this dedication is a discipline that can be strengthened through fasting. Furthermore, the message warns against spiritual ignorance, urging believers to understand the true nature of the 'ruler of this world' and to actively forgive others, as unforgiveness allows Satan to take advantage of one's life.

Seek Him First (Bro.Victor) [Tuticorin Conference - Session - 6/11]
CFC Messages · Jan 16, 2015 · 51m
The speaker uses the biblical account of Jacob's encounter with God at the Jabbok river and his subsequent journey to illustrate the necessity of a genuine spiritual rebirth. While Jacob was reconciled with his brother Joseph, the speaker points out that Jacob's life remained focused on earthly possessions and deception, failing to achieve a true change of heart. True spiritual renewal, or 'new heart,' is necessary after salvation to properly seek God's kingdom and righteousness.

God Looks At The Humble Who Tremble At His Word - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jan 13, 2015 · 5m
God does not look at impressive physical structures, but rather at the hearts of people who are humble, broken, and contrite in spirit. The speaker emphasizes that God desires those who recognize their own insignificance and tremble when confronted with God's word, as this is what truly constitutes God's house. True worship and presence are found in the people, not the buildings.

The Root Of Sin Is Self Centredness - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jan 7, 2015 · 34m
The root of sin is self-centeredness, meaning when the self is the focus of one's life. True holiness, conversely, is achieved when Christ becomes the absolute center of one's life. This shift in focus is compared to scientific discoveries, where finding the correct center (the sun, not the Earth) corrected all understanding. Repentance, therefore, is not merely giving up bad habits but turning from a self-centered life to one centered on Jesus Christ.

Returning To The Father's House - Vincent
Vincent · Jan 7, 2015 · 20m
The message uses the Parable of the Prodigal Son to emphasize the necessity of repentance and humility to return to God. The speaker contrasts the younger son, who, despite his distance, was on the right path toward repentance, with the elder son, who was physically present but spiritually distant and measuring his relationship with his father by comparison to his brother. True closeness to God requires setting the Lord always before oneself, maintaining a repentant heart, and finding security solely in God's love.

How God Led Us For Forty Years - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jan 7, 2015 · 1h 17m
The speaker reflects on the 40-year journey of the church, drawing parallels to Deuteronomy 8:2, which reminds believers to remember how the Lord has led them. He emphasizes that the church is the 'pocket of the kingdom of heaven' in a spiritual wilderness, and the primary lessons learned are humility and repentance. True spiritual leadership is defined by humility, and the church today is likened to the body of Christ, proclaiming repentance in the last days.

All That Jesus Taught (Bible Study – 7 of 80) - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Dec 27, 2014 · 26m
The central message is that Christians must diligently teach all that Jesus commanded, which is currently lacking in much of modern Christianity. The sermon emphasizes that the core message preached by John the Baptist, Jesus, and the Apostles was 'Repent,' which means a complete 'about turn' of the mind away from earthly pursuits toward the Kingdom of Heaven. This Kingdom is not material prosperity or physical healing, but rather the inward righteousness, peace, and joy provided by the Holy Spirit.

Recognizing Jesus While Breaking Bread - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Dec 10, 2014 · 24m
The speaker analyzes the significance of the 'breaking of bread' in Acts 2, noting it was a regular practice alongside teaching, fellowship, and prayer. He cautions that like baptism, it can become a mere ritual rather than a genuine spiritual act. The sermon emphasizes that true Christian life requires deep repentance and understanding of scripture, using the disciples' misunderstanding of Jesus's mission as an example of needing correction.

The Prosperity Gospel of Heaven - Santosh Poonen - November 30, 2014
Santosh Poonen · Dec 1, 2014 · 53m
The sermon warns against the 'love of money,' identifying it as the root of much evil and a conflict with serving God. Drawing from the parables of the lost sheep, the lost coin, and the prodigal son, the speaker emphasizes that God rejoices immensely over the repentance of a single sinner. He concludes by quoting Matthew 6:24, stating clearly that one cannot serve both God and wealth.

Chennai Conference - 2014 : Session - 2 - Recognizing the voice of satan - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Nov 29, 2014 · 58m
The message emphasizes the necessity of hearing God's word first, comparing it to a newborn baby's innate need for milk. The speaker warns that many Christians are spiritually premature because they have not properly repented of sin, noting that a true sign of being born again is a deep longing for God's word. To distinguish God's voice from the devil's, one must recognize that the enemy often minimizes sin, whereas God's word clearly defines sin's seriousness.

The speaker emphasizes that the first step to coming to Christ is recognizing oneself as a total sinner, as one cannot approach God thinking they have any inherent righteousness. He draws parallels between needing a doctor for sickness and needing Christ's grace, arguing that just as one cannot call a doctor unless they are ill, one cannot receive the Holy Spirit unless they realize they are completely dependent on God. This realization of utter unworthiness is essential for both salvation and receiving the Holy Spirit.

Jeremy Utley · Oct 13, 2014 · 11m
The speaker reflects on Philippians 3:19, focusing on the warning against those whose god is their appetite, drawing a parallel to the Israelites grumbling for food in the wilderness. Ultimately, the message shifts from deep textual analysis to a plea for self-examination, emphasizing that the most crucial spiritual need is for God to reveal the true state of one's heart, rather than mastering complex theological interpretations.
