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.

1.How God Led Us For Forty Years - Bangalore Conference 2014
CFC Messages · Oct 3, 2014 · 50m
The speaker emphasizes that the world's greatest love is that of Jesus Christ, which forgives sins regardless of one's background. Drawing from Deuteronomy 8, he notes that the church is a pocket of the kingdom of heaven in a spiritual wilderness. Over the 40 years, the church has stressed humility, teaching that the greatest in the kingdom is like a little child, and that the church itself is now the embodiment of the spirit of Elijah, proclaiming repentance.

Bobby McDonald - Pursue righteousness
Bobby McDonald · Sep 1, 2014 · 15m
Pursuing righteousness means living in a way that reflects Christ, which requires two main actions: dying to self and practicing genuine repentance. True righteousness comes from Christ, meaning we must be willing to deny ourselves in all situations, regardless of our circumstances. Furthermore, genuine repentance involves a deep, regretful sorrow over sin, leading to a desire to change future actions, rather than just saying sorry after the fact.

Repentance And Clear Vision - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Aug 27, 2014 · 58m
The central message is that true Christianity requires a thorough, 180-degree repentance, which is the message John the Baptist and Jesus preached. The speaker argues that many self-proclaimed Christians have only superficially repented, much like building on a shallow foundation, leading to spiritual cracks later on. Repentance means turning around completely to embrace the new covenant gospel, rather than merely giving up earthly sins.

Finding The Narrow Way - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Aug 18, 2014 · 59m
The sermon urges listeners to examine their spiritual condition by focusing on Jesus' warning to strive to enter through the narrow door. The speaker emphasizes that the only reason one will be kept out of God's kingdom is a wrong attitude toward sin, which is often taken too lightly. He warns against complacency, noting that repeatedly sinning makes repentance increasingly difficult.

Baptism And Salvation From The World - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Aug 12, 2014 · 1h 4m
The speaker emphasizes that true discipleship involves a continuous journey of learning and following Christ, not just reaching a point of perfection. He distinguishes between mere regret and true repentance, which is a complete 180-degree turn away from sin. Furthermore, he warns against the practice of baptizing people who are not genuinely converted, arguing that this is a way to lead them away from God's will in the pursuit of church honor.

Jesus' Attitude To God, Man And Satan - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Aug 12, 2014 · 59m
The central message is that Christians should emulate the attitude of Christ in every situation, as taught by Philippians 2:5. This attitude is more transformative than merely imitating Jesus' miraculous actions, as it involves adopting His principles in daily life, whether facing problems, financial hardship, or loss. Ultimately, the speaker emphasizes that personal choice is required for spiritual change, as God will not force anyone to repent.

4.Brokenness Through Failure - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jun 25, 2014 · 1h 14m
The speaker addresses the tendency to use guilt trips in preaching, advising that sermons should heal by exposing sin and then stitching up the wound with encouragement, rather than simply condemning. He emphasizes that God uses failure, citing the disciples' experience and Peter's denial, to humble us and teach dependence on Christ. The core message is that the church should be a place of hope for those who have failed, mirroring God's persistent love despite our messiness.

Have You Claimed Your Full Birthright ? - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jun 21, 2014 · 44m
The central message is that believers have a birthright to reign in life through the abundance of God's grace, which requires a proper foundation built on repentance plus faith. The speaker emphasizes that true repentance is a complete 180-degree turn from sin, which biblically is defined as anything falling short of the glory of Christ. Ultimately, Christians are called to be the light of the world, fulfilling the purpose God has given them.

God Requires Honesty And Compassion - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · May 22, 2014 · 58m
The core message emphasizes that God requires justice, kindness, and humility in our daily interactions, going beyond mere religious observance. Specifically, we must treat others fairly, as if we wish to be treated ourselves, and we must be honest by acknowledging our own failures without blaming others. True repentance involves addressing how we treat people, especially those who can offer us nothing.

Zac Poonen · May 19, 2014 · 1h 2m
The speaker emphasizes that foundational Christian truths—such as repentance, faith, and the meaning of baptism—must be continually taught to new and unreached people. He stresses the importance of understanding justification by faith as the foundation, while also warning against spiritual complacency regarding God's holiness. The core message for discipleship is that it requires mastering the basics, as neglecting these foundational conditions will undermine the ability to live out the commands of Christ.

Zac Poonen · May 19, 2014 · 1h 6m
The speaker outlines four foundational truths for new Christians: repentance, faith, water baptism, and receiving the Holy Spirit.

3.God's Grace Makes Us Overcomers - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · May 6, 2014 · 58m
The sermon emphasizes that while some promises of God are unconditional, many blessings, including spiritual growth, require specific conditions like repentance and faith. The speaker warns against misunderstanding verses like John 10:28 and 1 John 1:7, stressing that claiming promises requires actively obeying and following Christ's voice. True cleansing from sin is found by willingly walking into God's light, which means taking full responsibility for one's own sin rather than blaming others.

8.The Way To Find Rest In Our Soul - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · May 6, 2014 · 56m
The sermon centers on Jesus' invitation in Matthew 11:28 to those who are weary, emphasizing that true rest comes only from Him. The speaker distinguishes between temporary emotional uplift from sermons and the deep, permanent rest that comes when the Word of God sinks into the spirit, building a life like a house built on the rock. Achieving this rest requires deep obedience and acknowledging one's iniquity honestly.

The speaker emphasizes that the core message of the New Covenant is not salvation from hell, but salvation from sin, as stated in the first promise of the New Testament. He warns against misunderstanding Jesus's name, 'Yesu,' to mean only 'Savior from hell,' stressing instead that it means 'He who saves from sin.' The message also covers the need for constant vigilance against sin, urging believers to rise from sin immediately, like a ball bouncing off a paddle, rather than dwelling on past sins or self-condemnation.

The Fire Of God: 1.The Baptism Of Fire - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Feb 22, 2014 · 58m
The central message emphasizes that true reception of Christ requires repentance, which means changing one's mind and attitude about sin, not just acknowledging grace. The speaker warns that many Christians misunderstand the seriousness of sin because they have neglected the message of John the Baptist. Furthermore, he stresses that the primary responsibility for leading children to Christ rests squarely on the parents, not on church programs like Sunday School or youth groups.

11.What God Requires: 3) Walking Humbly Before God - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Feb 22, 2014 · 58m
The Lord requires us to do justly, to do righteousness, to love kindness and mercy, and to walk humbly with God, as stated in Micah 6:8. The speaker emphasizes that forgiveness is not the same as fellowship; while we can forgive everyone, fellowship requires walking in the light. Furthermore, the speaker draws a distinction between sins committed by a 'stranger' and a 'brother,' advising that while we should forgive strangers regardless of repentance, we must address a brother's sin privately to guide him toward repentance, as true fellowship requires it.

4.Being Ready For Christ's Return - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Feb 21, 2014 · 1h 1m
The central message is that true hope regarding Christ's return is not merely intellectual knowledge but a deep, purifying transformation of character. To be ready, believers must actively allow the Holy Spirit to reveal and confront unchristlike thoughts, attitudes, and motives daily, leading to continuous repentance and self-cleansing. The speaker warns against merely accumulating knowledge about end-times events, emphasizing that truth must be internalized through meditation and obedience to become spiritually beneficial.

God's First Messages To Man (Part 1) - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Feb 13, 2014 · 56m
The speaker analyzes Genesis Chapter 1, arguing that the chapter's narrative structure reveals the core message of the Bible: God created humanity perfect, but the devil corrupted it, leaving man empty and dark. The central theme is that the Holy Spirit's ongoing work is to remake humanity back into God's intended image, which requires the individual to first be honest about their own spiritual brokenness.

Zac Poonen · Feb 11, 2014 · 1h 1m
The central message is that true Christian life requires shifting focus from self-centeredness to being God-centered, mirroring Jesus' life which was centered on the Father. The speaker emphasizes that genuine repentance is a 180-degree turn away from self-focus toward prioritizing God's glory. Knowing God as Father leads to a profound security where one no longer seeks to impress others, and this connection is evidenced by crying out

People Who Were Ready For Christ's Coming - Part 4 - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jan 30, 2014 · 59m
The speaker argues that readiness for Christ's return is not limited to religious knowledge or Jewish background, citing examples like the shepherds, the Syrophoenician woman, and the Roman centurion. He emphasizes that God judges people by their conscience and sincerity, warning that believers can become complacent, while non-Christians who genuinely fear God can be brought to God's attention through sincere prayer. Ultimately, the message stresses that salvation and entrance into heaven are based solely on faith in Jesus Christ.

He then reflects on the crucifixion narrative, emphasizing that salvation is a pure gift of grace, as demonstrated by one criminal who repented at the last moment. The core message is that salvation is unearned and requires a soft heart receptive to the Holy Spirit's work.
