Zac Poonen · 10m · CFC Daily Devotions

The speaker emphasizes that Christians often live in spiritual poverty because they fail to fully grasp the inheritance purchased for them through Christ. True deliverance from sin's nature, passion, and pride is not achieved merely by confessing sins or relying on the blood of Christ, but by being crucified with Christ and subsequently living by faith in Him. This exchange means that 'no longer I who lives,' but rather Christ lives within the believer.

The speaker explains that assurance of being born again comes from the joint work of the Holy Spirit and God's Word, not from feelings. True assurance is found by sincerely confessing sin, believing in Christ's death and resurrection, and relying on the Spirit's witness. He warns against legalism, arguing that true godliness is found by looking to Jesus, who exemplified mercy rather than strict adherence to rules.

God is Light and God is Love - Zac Poonen - May 26, 2017
Zac Poonen · May 27, 2017 · 55m
The central message is that the believer's life should reflect the 'beauty of the Lord' shining from within, which is a hallmark of the New Covenant. The speaker warns against a superficial Christianity where outward religious activity masks a fading glory, comparing it to the Old Covenant. True evidence of God's presence is a life lived in the Spirit—characterized by immediate confession of sin and quick reconciliation with others—rather than mere feeling or performance.

7. Zac Poonen - Those Who Give God Their Best
Zac Poonen · May 27, 2017 · 1h 9m
The central message is that God accepts offerings based on the heart's attitude, not the offering itself. Drawing from the story of Cain and Abel, the speaker emphasizes that giving God one's very best—whether it's time, energy, or material goods—stems from a heart that recognizes God's prior bestowment. Furthermore, the sermon warns that even a perfect offering will be rejected if the individual is unreconciled with their brother, citing Matthew 5.

The sermon continues the study of what Jesus taught, focusing on the wrong attitude of anxiety from Matthew 6:25-34. The speaker emphasizes that anxiety is not a mere weakness but a sin, comparable to other sins Jesus warned against. He argues that since God is our Heavenly Father, we should trust His provision, comparing our care for our lives and needs to the provision given to the birds of the air, who do not sow or reap.

Zac Poonen · Apr 24, 2017 · 25m
This study examines the teachings of Jesus, focusing on the 'wrong attitudes' Christians must eliminate. Key areas covered include anger, sexually sinful thoughts, and lying. The speaker emphasizes understanding the spirit of Jesus' radical teachings on revenge and non-resistance—such as turning the other cheek—by comparing them with other scriptures, like lending money expecting nothing in return. The core message is to understand the spirit of Christ's commands rather than taking them literally.

Zac Poonen · Apr 24, 2017 · 25m
The sermon focuses on Jesus' teachings from the Sermon on the Mount, specifically addressing sin in thought, such as lust and anger. The speaker emphasizes that overcoming these sins requires a genuine fullness of the Holy Spirit, which grants self-control over the tongue and eyes. True freedom from sin is achieved through radical honesty, confessing sins to the offended party, and actively fleeing temptation.

The True Grace Of God - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Apr 5, 2017 · 1h 28m
The speaker warns that much of modern Christianity has drifted from biblical truth, often being influenced by money and counterfeit spiritual movements. He emphasizes that the true measure of the Holy Spirit's fullness is emulating Jesus Christ, not following charismatic examples. He urges listeners to examine their lives for sin, particularly financial dishonesty, and to be wary of deception by comparing teachings only to Scripture and the life of Christ.

Lo que DIOS piensa de tu exterior - Zac Ponnen (with Spanish subtitles)
Zac Poonen · Mar 22, 2017 · 30m
The central message is that God judges the heart, not the outward appearance, citing 1 Samuel 16:7. The speaker contrasts the outward religion of the Old Covenant with the inward focus required by the New Testament, emphasizing that true righteousness must surpass mere adherence to external rules, such as those practiced by the Pharisees. He stresses that internal sins, like anger or lust (especially through pornography), are just as damning as physical transgressions.

Baptism And Freedom From Sin - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Mar 16, 2017 · 38m
The central message emphasizes that true Christian life requires moving beyond mere activity or fellowship to a deep, personal devotion to Jesus Christ, which is symbolized by passing through the veil of death to self. The speaker stresses that believers should not accept a pattern of continuous sinning, comparing it to a child who cannot walk after a certain age. Freedom from sin is achieved through a genuine conversion and being filled with the Holy Spirit, not just through outward church attendance.

transcribingThe God of "Self" - Santosh Poonen - March 12, 2017
Santosh Poonen · Mar 13, 2017 · 46m
The sermon addresses the danger of worshipping multiple 'gods,' suggesting that self-worship is a primary idol. It challenges the listener to identify what truly holds their ultimate allegiance, as this misplaced worship prevents genuine belief in God. The core message is about redirecting devotion away from self and toward the true God.

Question and Answer Session - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Mar 6, 2017 · 1h 35m
The speaker addresses several questions, emphasizing that true victory over sin comes from accepting that one is crucified with Christ, leading to a mindset that is undisturbed by slander. He discusses the physical body's mortality, noting that while believers have special protection from dying prematurely, sickness is natural because the body is made from cursed earth. Finally, he advises speaking with grace, recognizing that obedience to God's law (like not lying) supersedes obedience to a spouse, and outlines the father's role in disciplining and instructing children in the Lord.

The speaker emphasizes that true spiritual growth requires following Christ's example and maintaining integrity in private life, as hypocrisy is dangerous. He draws from David's experience to teach that God desires truth in the innermost being, warning against pretense. Ultimately, the message cautions against judging others, reminding the audience that true judgment belongs to God and will occur at Christ's return.

The message emphasizes the need to grow into Christ, speaking the truth in love, as taught by Ephesians 4:15. The speaker uses the analogy of a child progressing through school grades to illustrate that the struggle with sin should not be repetitive; rather, believers must continually advance to conquer new, greater sins as they mature in faith. This continuous growth is presented as the burden the Holy Spirit places upon believers.

The Fragrant Anointing of Goodness - Santosh Poonen - January 15, 2017
Santosh Poonen · Jan 17, 2017 · 48m
Jesus' ministry demonstrated that God's focus is not on adherence to religious law, but on genuine goodness and faith. The speaker emphasizes that faith, even amidst sin, is what draws God's power, contrasting this with self-righteous legalism. True Christian living involves doing good, fulfilling the spirit of the law rather than merely observing its letter.

Freedom from Anger and Sexual Lust (கோபம் பாலிய இச்சையிலிருந்து விடுதலை) - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jan 14, 2017 · 1h 15m
The sermon argues that true wisdom requires confronting and overcoming known sins, using anger as a primary example. The speaker contrasts worldly self-control (like yoga) with true spiritual wisdom, noting that suppressing anger internally is dangerous. He emphasizes that anger dwells in the heart of a fool and that believers must emulate Jesus' non-retaliatory response, understanding that anger itself is a sin unless it concerns the glory of God.

Bobby McDonald - A Life Of Ease Is Not The Mountain Top
Bobby McDonald · Dec 21, 2016 · 9m
The central message is that true joy and gratitude in Christ come from focusing on what God has already done for us, rather than setting aside His promises for future comforts or ease. The speaker warns against subtle idolatry, such as valuing a 'life of ease' or future security over God's present promises, which is a sin of presumption. Believers must constantly look to the finished work of Christ and God's unchanging love as their source of rest and joy.

Zac Poonen · Dec 12, 2016 · 25m
The speaker emphasizes that Christians often misunderstand Jesus' teachings, focusing only on forgiveness rather than true salvation from sin. He uses the examples of anger and lust to show that merely confessing and being forgiven is not the same as being saved from the pattern of sin. True discipleship requires understanding that Jesus' name means 'Savior,' meaning deliverance from sin, not just pardon for it.

Zac Poonen · Dec 12, 2016 · 1h 8m
The speaker emphasizes that true Christian fellowship is distinct from worldly friendship and requires freedom from sin. He warns against hypocrisy, urging listeners to live before God alone rather than performing for the approval of others. Ultimately, genuine fellowship requires honesty, even if one feels spiritually immature, as pretense hinders spiritual growth.

The speaker uses personal anecdotes, such as his frustration with homework, to illustrate the reality of sin, comparing it to a computer virus that needs cleansing. He emphasizes that Jesus' name means He saves people from their sins, offering hope for deliverance from internal struggles like impatience and anger. Ultimately, the message encourages believers to claim the victory promised by Jesus over their sin.

The speaker discusses becoming like Jesus, noting that this transformation is not dependent on earthly blessings but is achieved through suffering, as referenced in Romans 8:28-29. He emphasizes that suffering leads to ceasing from sin and living for God's will. A second point addresses Paul's groaning in Romans 8:23, suggesting that the true longing Christians should have is not for a new physical body, but for freedom from sin and self-centeredness.

The central message is that true holiness and God's power are manifested not in human strength, but in our acknowledged weakness. The speaker uses the example of the Apostle Paul, who was prone to pride despite his heavenly experiences, and how God allowed him a 'thorn in the flesh' to keep him humble. Ultimately, the message encourages believers to embrace difficulties and weakness, recognizing that this is the very condition where the power of Christ can dwell.

The central message is that salvation and freedom are found entirely through Christ, not through personal effort or adherence to law. The speaker compares the experience to being rescued from a prison or death row, illustrating that believers were once trapped under sin's condemnation but were freed by God's grace through Jesus. This freedom means not only being forgiven but also being empowered by the Spirit to live a life free from the power of sin.

Behold, I Send You - Santosh Poonen - September 25, 2016
Santosh Poonen · Sep 27, 2016 · 49m
The speaker emphasizes that effectiveness in ministry is dependent on faithfulness in small, inner areas, using the analogy of using time and money as tests of faithfulness. He contrasts the tendency to focus on external works with Jesus' call for 'Shepherds,' and draws a parallel from Isaiah's experience. Isaiah's transformation from proclaiming woes to accepting God's message is shown by first confronting his own sinfulness before being commissioned to speak God's word.
