Zac Poonen · 9m · CFC Daily Devotions

The Obedience Of Faith And Love – Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Sep 9, 2016 · 55m
The speaker urges believers to obey God's commandments as readily as they would follow a doctor's prescription for a cure. He emphasizes that the promise of sitting with Christ on the throne in eternity is conditional upon overcoming, which is an individual responsibility. True overcoming requires actively fighting daily battles against sin, unlike the misconception that Jesus never struggled.

transcribingPartaking of Jesus’ Life Through Death to Our Self-Life - Zac Poonen - August 17, 2016
Zac Poonen · Aug 22, 2016 · 1h 13m
The sermon emphasizes that true Christian life involves a death to self, mirroring the death of Christ. Believers must actively participate in this self-denial to truly partake in Jesus' life. This process requires a deep commitment to crucifying the old self.

GOD SHOWS US HIS WAY | 4.Learning The Fear Of God | Zac Poonen |
Zac Poonen · Aug 16, 2016 · 58m
The speaker emphasizes that understanding God's way requires grasping the seriousness of sin, contrasting the Old Covenant's tangible penalties for sin with the New Covenant's spiritual standard. He argues that many Christians treat sin lightly, failing to appreciate the immense value of Christ's blood, which redeems us far beyond any earthly payment. The core message is a warning about the danger of harboring anger in the heart, as this constitutes guilt even before speaking, and the only escape is through acknowledging the need for God's grace, not merely through ritualistic confession.

GOD SHOWS US HIS WAY | 1.Being Honest About Our Sins | Zac Poonen | Tamil
Zac Poonen · Aug 16, 2016 · 55m
The central message is that human pride prevents us from understanding God's superior ways, which are vastly different from our own. True understanding of God's ways comes through humility, much like a child who asks questions without shame. The speaker emphasizes that humility leads to peace in relationships and life decisions, contrasting it with the pitfalls of pride.

Zac Poonen · Aug 16, 2016 · 59m
The speaker emphasizes the seriousness of sin, explaining that even one sin breaks a person's connection with God, much like a single hole leaks a vessel. True salvation requires understanding that one's own sin is enough for Christ's sacrifice, rather than viewing it as a global issue. Repentance means confessing all sins to God so that He can repair the 'holes' in our lives.

Bobby McDonald - Sorrow Over Sin, Fellowship With God
Bobby McDonald · Aug 8, 2016 · 13m
The speaker argues that a deep, godly sorrow over sin is foundational to a personal and intimate relationship with God. Drawing from the Prodigal Son narrative, he emphasizes that this sorrow leads to true repentance, which is distinct from worldly regret. He concludes that God uses convictions and rebukes to guide us toward greater Christlikeness, leading to an appreciation of His mercy.

THE TRUTH SHALL SET YOU FREE: 1.Freedom From Sin - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jul 21, 2016 · 1h 5m
The speaker emphasizes that the Bible is the sole, authoritative word of God, contrasting it with teachings from parents or established churches. He recounts his personal journey from an Orthodox background to realizing the necessity of being 'born again' through the Bible. The central message is that true knowledge of God's truth, including warnings about hell and the path to salvation, comes only from reading and believing the Bible, as exemplified by the rich man's conversation with Abraham in Luke 16.

Austin CFC 2016 - Zac Poonen conference - Session 1 -Fellowship with God and with one another
Zac Poonen · Jul 19, 2016 · 57m
The speaker argues that many Christians focus only on forgiveness for heaven rather than living out the 'life of God' on Earth. He uses the analogy of Israel's journey—from Egypt (unbelievers) to the Wilderness (relying solely on past cleansing) and finally to Canaan (the New Covenant)—to illustrate spiritual progress. True fellowship and building the Body of Christ require moving beyond the endless cycle of sinning and repenting, which is necessary for overcoming sin.

Bobby McDonald - Tangible Evidence Of The Holy Spirit Within Us
Bobby McDonald · Jul 11, 2016 · 8m
The tangible evidence of the Holy Spirit's work is demonstrated by a growing hatred for sin and a love for what God loves. Drawing from the New Covenant, the Spirit writes God's desires on the heart, making believers naturally desire goodness and reject evil. This process is described as moving 'from glory to glory,' proving God is working in us even when we cannot see the progress.

Jeremy Utley - Guard Against The Two G's
Jeremy Utley · Jul 11, 2016 · 21m
The central message is that growing in the fear of the Lord requires our affections to reflect God's, meaning we must hate evil, pride, and perverted speech. The speaker specifically warns against the 'two G's'—gossip and grumbling—as these are forms of perverted speech that distract from disciplined living. He urges listeners to guard their mouths by keeping their thoughts in their minds, contrasting this with the tendency to talk about others when there is nothing productive to do.

3. Justification And Sanctification By Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jun 26, 2016 · 33m
The speaker distinguishes between justification (being accepted by Christ) and sanctification (growth in holiness), using the analogy of a building's foundation and superstructure. While justification is a free gift of God's grace, sanctification requires actively living out good works. True Christian life demands radical repentance—a 180-degree turn from sin—and maintaining this commitment by discerning friendships that pull one toward Christ versus those that pull one back to the world.

Presenting Our Body to the Lord - Zac Poonen - May 29, 2016
Zac Poonen · Jun 1, 2016 · 1h 6m
The sermon draws parallels between Old Testament events—such as the Passover blood, the crossing of the Red Sea, and the pillar of cloud—and New Testament realities, specifically baptism and the baptism in the Holy Spirit. The central message is that the human body is like the Promised Land of Canaan, which must be possessed by believers to overcome 'giants' representing sins like anger, jealousy, and lust. While the Old Man is defeated by God on the cross, believers must actively crucify the 'lusts of the flesh' through the Spirit's power, adopting the courageous spirit of Joshua and Caleb.

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.

The Root Of Sin Is Self-Centredness - Zac Poonen (with Romanian Subtitles)
Zac Poonen · May 20, 2016 · 34m
The core sin is not specific actions but self-centeredness, which is the root that must be addressed for true salvation. Holiness is achieved when Christ becomes the center of one's life, rather than the self. Repentance, therefore, means turning from a life centered on self to one centered on Jesus Christ.

Exhortation And Encouragement - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Apr 27, 2016 · 1h 16m
The speaker cautions against taking scripture out of its proper context, warning that the devil often splits verses to present only the 'promise' while omitting the necessary 'condition.' He emphasizes that true understanding requires quoting the entire scripture, not just memorable phrases. The core message is to study the whole Bible to avoid deception and maintain a full understanding of God's word.

Oh, How He Loves You! - Santosh Poonen - April 24, 2016
Santosh Poonen · Apr 26, 2016 · 52m
The central message emphasizes that a godly life requires constant dependence on God the Father, mirroring Jesus' own life. The speaker warns against the danger of self-sufficiency, which is rooted in sin, and points to John 5:26 as proof that life and ability to function must be received from God. This principle of dependency is presented as the secret to overcoming sin and living a life of continuous victory.

The speaker reflects on the encounter between Jesus and the young ruler, emphasizing that true righteousness requires more than just keeping the commandments; it demands a complete surrender to Christ. He draws a parallel between the young ruler's desire for external validation and the need for believers to die to self and live for Jesus's agenda. Furthermore, he stresses that the quality of Christian life is determined by the daily walk with the Lord, not just Sunday services, and highlights the vital ministry of encouragement within the church and family.

Jeremy Utley - Put Away All Bitterness
Jeremy Utley · Apr 3, 2016 · 10m
The speaker emphasizes the necessity of recognizing one's true spiritual condition, drawing parallels from Malachi and Revelation. He focuses heavily on the command to 'put away all bitterness,' realizing that difficult circumstances provide unique opportunities to obey God's commands. Ultimately, he teaches that the true enemy in any struggle is not another person, but one's own fleshly inclination toward ease and irritation.

Jeremy Utley - Becoming A Weapon Of Righteousness
Jeremy Utley · Mar 21, 2016 · 17m
The central message is that Christians must intentionally choose to be weapons of righteousness in God's hand rather than allowing sin to make them weapons of unrighteousness. This requires a deep personal confrontation with one's own sin, prioritizing God's glory over anything else, and being willing to surrender even what is precious to oneself. The speaker uses biblical examples, like Job and King Saul, to illustrate this principle of total consecration to God.

The speaker discusses how to respond to sin, whether in ourselves or others, emphasizing that our goal is to reflect Jesus. He draws from the story of the woman caught in adultery, concluding that instead of condemning, we should respond with grace, prayer, and love. The message concludes with reflections on finding contentment through scripture, citing Habakkuk 3, Psalm 16, and Psalm 23.

OVERCOMING SINS OF SEXUAL ADDICTION – Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Feb 15, 2016 · 1h 32m
The speaker addresses men specifically regarding the intense temptations related to sexual desire, emphasizing that while God designed this desire, it is not essential for life. He advises that the best way to conquer these urges is not solely through marriage, but by actively fighting and conquering them while young through a passion for Christ and the Holy Spirit. Furthermore, he stresses the importance of guarding one's mind by avoiding impure media, noting that Jesus was tempted in all areas, including sexuality, proving our ability to overcome through Him.

The speaker stresses the immense value of the blood of Jesus, which provides forgiveness for sin, comparing it to something more precious than all earthly wealth. True appreciation for this sacrifice is demonstrated by a careful attitude toward sin and a constant desire for repentance.

The speaker emphasizes that the goal of Christians is to reflect Jesus Christ by growing in personal purity and functioning corporately within the local church. Drawing parallels from scripture, the message stresses the need for constant spiritual focus, comparing worldly distractions to the wastefulness of excrement. Ultimately, the talk urges believers to maintain a sense of urgency regarding sin and God's grace, remembering that all people, including the speaker, are sinners in need of Christ's saving mercy.

Bobby McDonald - He Has Not Dealt With Us According To Our Iniquities
Bobby McDonald · Feb 8, 2016 · 7m
The central message is that appreciating God's immense love requires a clear and sober view of one's own sinfulness. The speaker draws from Psalm 103 to highlight that God has not dealt with us according to our iniquities, emphasizing His undeserved mercy. He concludes that striving to keep God's commandments, even when failing, deepens the appreciation for His grace, leading to perfect fellowship with Him.
