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.

I Need You, My Brother, My Sister - Santosh Poonen - February 18, 2018
Santosh Poonen · Feb 19, 2018 · 44m
The sermon emphasizes that when confronting sin in a brother or sister, one must first judge oneself, pray with a deep burden, and forgive. The initial step is always to address the fault privately and gently, aiming not to win an argument or prove one's own righteousness, but solely to win the person's soul. This approach requires a spirit of gentleness, mirroring the goal of Christ's love.

Four Every-Day Resolutions - Santosh Poonen - January 7, 2018
Santosh Poonen · Jan 16, 2018 · 57m
The speaker urges the congregation to adopt 'today resolutions' rather than traditional New Year's resolutions, arguing that resolutions set for an entire year are set up for failure. Drawing from scripture, he emphasizes that 'today is the day of salvation' and that believers should make commitments they can practice in the present moment. He suggests that by living day-by-day, mirroring God's creation process, believers can experience God's work continuously throughout the year.

Session 1 - Entering Like a Little Child – Santosh Poonen – WOF 2017 Austin CFC
Santosh Poonen · Oct 31, 2017 · 1h 12m
The central message emphasizes that all Christian focus should be on proclaiming the Kingdom of Heaven, echoing the messages of John the Baptist, Jesus, and Paul. The speaker stresses that genuine ministry to others must first be rooted in personal transformation; one cannot effectively draw people into God's reality if their own lives are built on pretense or 'cardboard.'

I Would Have Despaired Unless I Had Believed - Santosh Poonen - October 22, 2017
Santosh Poonen · Oct 23, 2017 · 57m
The speaker encourages listeners facing any kind of loss—physical, emotional, or memory-related—by pointing them to the comfort of the Holy Spirit. He emphasizes that God does not judge us by what we are currently experiencing, and that we should seek the Spirit's comfort. Furthermore, he stresses that while sin is always dishonoring to God, true repentance involves a godly sorrow, which is distinct from the devil's condemnation.

Behold, My Son! - Santosh Poonen - September 24, 2017
Santosh Poonen · Sep 25, 2017 · 58m
The speaker draws parallels between the praise of young children and the spiritual state required for the Kingdom of Heaven, emphasizing that one must repent and become like a child. He stresses that the purpose of ministry and service should be to direct attention to Jesus Christ, making Him the most attractive focus, rather than drawing attention to the performers or leaders. The message concludes by referencing the divine declaration, "This is my beloved Son in whom I am well-pleased, listen to him," and the danger of being unaware of this truth.

He Kept Crying Out All the More - Santosh Poonen - June 28, 2015
Santosh Poonen · Jun 29, 2015 · 1h 9m
The speaker warns against the danger of being distracted by external cultural battles, arguing that focusing too much on these issues can distract from the core Christian mandate of love. He emphasizes that the greatest danger is becoming lukewarm, failing to hear the voice of the Spirit amidst the noise of the world's opinions. The message calls for personal conviction and repentance, urging the church to prioritize love and spiritual focus over political or social disagreements.

Life in the Spirit - Santosh Poonen - May 3, 2015
Santosh Poonen · May 4, 2015 · 59m
The central message emphasizes the critical importance of honesty and repentance, contrasting it with the danger of hypocrisy, which is likened to Adam and Eve covering their shame with fig leaves. The speaker argues that true spirituality begins with an honest acknowledgment of one's shortcomings, citing the repentant thief on the cross as an example. This honesty is presented as the foundation for God's work and the path to salvation.

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.

The Pathway to the Promise: Part 2 - Santosh Poonen - May 12, 2013
Santosh Poonen · May 14, 2013 · 45m
The speaker discusses the 'Pathway to the Promise,' emphasizing that fulfilling God's promise requires a daily commitment to repentance, moving away from the flesh, eyes, and pride. Following repentance, the next crucial step is developing a personal faith—one that trusts God's provision in current, sometimes unglamorous, circumstances rather than expecting a perfect outcome. He uses the example of Ruth to illustrate God's faithfulness.

Dear Daddy - Santosh Poonen - June 17, 2012
Santosh Poonen · Jun 18, 2012 · 53m
The message emphasizes the vital ministry of restoring relationships between parents and children, drawing parallels to John the Baptist's role in preparing the way for Christ. The speaker argues that this ministry is entrusted to the Church today, comparing it to the dual prophecy of Malachi, which points not only to John the Baptist but also to the Church itself as the modern 'Elijah' to restore hearts before the Lord's return. The core message stresses that while effort is required, God must ultimately work through repentance to heal these broken relationships.

Those Who Submit to God - Santosh Poonen - September 16, 2011
Santosh Poonen · Apr 21, 2012 · 54m
The central message emphasizes that God's help comes to those who are brokenhearted and contrite, not those who think they have everything figured out. The speaker urges listeners to embrace brokenness, recognizing that this state allows God to work in their lives, much like crushing hard rock into dust to build the body of Christ. He concludes by urging people to move from living by old covenants or rules to entering the new covenant relationship with Christ.
