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.

Zac Poonen - Sermon on the Mount - 8
Zac Poonen · Dec 22, 2025 · 49m
In this message on the Sermon on the Mount, Zac Poonen emphasizes that purity of heart means being free from self-seeking and seeing God's hand in every circumstance, which enables believers to obey commands like "rejoice always" and be anxious for nothing. He teaches that individual Christians are called to be salt and light in the world—not through correct doctrine alone, but through good works and holy living that reflect Christ, and that one wholehearted believer can have an impact far greater than thousands with a negative testimony.

December 21 | Daily Devotion | Have A Sense Of Gratitude To The Lord | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Dec 20, 2025 · 12m
Zac Poonen teaches that true Christian growth requires a deep sense of gratitude to Jesus and a genuine desire to live for Him rather than merely securing a place in heaven. He emphasizes that being filled with the Holy Spirit is essential for spiritual progress, enabling believers to overcome sin and become increasingly Christ-like year by year, and that those who truly recognize the severity of sin and Jesus' sacrifice will earnestly seek the Spirit's power rather than settling for complacency.

December 16 | Daily Devotion | Everything You Do For The Lord Must Be Done In Secret | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Dec 15, 2025 · 10m
The sermon emphasizes that all acts of devotion—giving, praying, and even testifying—must be done in secret and motivated by genuine love for God, not the desire for human praise or honor. The speaker urges the congregation to fight the temptation to seek recognition, encouraging them to focus solely on Jesus during prayer, as if no one else is present. He also warns against meaningless repetition in prayer, advising believers to pray with substance rather than empty words.

The True Grace Of God | ದೇವರ ನಿಜವಾದ ಕೃಪೆ | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Dec 6, 2025 · 2h 7m
The central message contrasts living by outward appearance versus living by inner truth, drawing from John 1:17. The speaker emphasizes that true Christian life requires the inner self to align with the outer life, a reality impossible under the Old Covenant but possible through the grace of Jesus Christ. He warns against hypocrisy, urging believers to confront their inner sinfulness rather than merely performing piety.

December 6 | Daily Devotion | In Grace I Stand, Justified In Christ | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Dec 5, 2025 · 11m
Zac Poonen teaches that believers stand in God's grace and are justified in Christ, declared righteous not because of any merit but solely by God's sovereign choice. He emphasizes the importance of honesty in fellowship with God, warns against self-condemnation and spiritual pride, and calls believers to stop judging others while focusing on their own relationship with God and spiritual growth.

December 5 | Daily Devotion | God Uses Honest People To Help Others | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Dec 4, 2025 · 11m
The central message emphasizes that God primarily requires honesty from His children, urging believers to eliminate pretense and hypocrisy in all aspects of life. True fellowship with God, which is the goal of Christ's sacrifice, is maintained by walking in the light, which begins with absolute honesty before God. The speaker uses examples like Adam's inability to confess his sin honestly and the Samaritan woman's honesty to illustrate this point.

November 25 | Daily Devotion | Your Life Must Backup Your Teaching | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Nov 24, 2025 · 9m
Zac Poonen emphasizes the critical importance of balancing personal conduct with doctrinal purity, drawing from Galatians 5:6 and 1 Timothy 4:16. He warns against spiritual pride that comes from standing firmly on correct doctrine while living a life that does not reflect that teaching—comparing it to walking on unequal legs. True Christian witness requires both right belief and right living to glorify God and effectively build God's kingdom.

Zac Poonen - Sermon on the Mount - 4
Zac Poonen · Nov 24, 2025 · 33m
Zac Poonen teaches that the Sermon on the Mount is Christianity's foundational message, emphasizing that believers can and must live victorious lives over sin through the power of the Holy Spirit, not merely receive forgiveness. He stresses that entering God's kingdom requires poverty of spirit—recognizing oneself as nothing apart from Christ—and genuine mourning over one's failure to reflect God's glory, which leads to strength and comfort from God.

The True Grace Of God | The Missing Messages In Today's Christianity | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Nov 17, 2025 · 57m
The central message is that true Christian life requires the inner reality to match the outward appearance, a concept of 'living the truth.' This truth, realized through Jesus Christ, is superior to the external adherence to law. The speaker warns against hypocrisy, emphasizing that while one should confess sins only to God, one must never pretend to be okay or spiritual when one is not, as pretense leads to spiritual danger.

November 13 | Daily Devotion | A Life Of Peace With All Men | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Nov 12, 2025 · 9m
The message emphasizes pursuing peace with all people, as far as it is in our power, drawing parallels to Jesus's willingness to drink the cup of suffering. True peace is found not in constant agreement, but in maintaining inner composure and responding with gentle answers rather than escalating conflict. Ultimately, the focus should be on pursuing holiness, inner peace, and a life that reflects Christ, rather than worldly pursuits like money or mere numbers in the church.

October 12 | Daily Devotion | A Bad Conscience Will Make Us Spiritually Blind And Deaf | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Oct 11, 2025 · 8m
The core message emphasizes that true fellowship with God and others requires maintaining a clear conscience. The speaker uses the analogy of blinking to clean the eyes, warning that ignoring a bad conscience leads to spiritual blindness and deafness. To hear God's voice, one must diligently address sin immediately and keep one's conscience clean.

October 8 | Daily Devotion | Be Content With The Boundary God Has Placed For You | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Oct 7, 2025 · 9m
The central message is that godliness, as emphasized in 1 Timothy 6:6, is a means of great gain only when accompanied by contentment. Contentment means being satisfied and having no complaints about the circumstances, job, marriage, or life that God has allowed. The speaker uses the Book of Job and the natural boundaries of creation to illustrate that God sets limits everywhere, and believers must learn to accept the boundaries God has placed on their lives.

October 4 | Daily Devotion | Fulfil God's Plan For Your Life By Denying Yourself Daily | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Oct 3, 2025 · 11m
The central message is that every life is pre-planned by God, as established before the world's foundation. To fulfill this divine plan, one must daily deny oneself and live by dependence on Christ, symbolizing a death to the world. This commitment to fulfilling God's specific calling is the ultimate goal for every believer.

Zac Poonen - Building the Walls Around the Church
Zac Poonen · Sep 29, 2025 · 44m
Drawing from Nehemiah's burden to rebuild Jerusalem's walls, Zac Poonen teaches that effective church members must have a deep concern for the spiritual condition and purity of the local church. He emphasizes that the walls of Jerusalem symbolize separation from worldliness and salvation, while the gates represent praise; when these walls break down, the church becomes indistinguishable from the world, allowing compromises like divorce, false baptism practices, and worldly spirit to infiltrate. Christians must actively stand against corruption and backsliding to maintain the church's holiness and function as a true reflection of Jesus.

Holding Fast Our Assurance Until the End - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Sep 29, 2025 · 36m
The message emphasizes holding fast to faith until the end by maintaining a sincere longing for God, even when others might judge or discourage. The speaker uses examples like Zacchaeus, the woman caught in adultery, and the thief on the cross to illustrate God's boundless mercy for sinners. Ultimately, achieving a holy life requires not just asking for it, but passionately hunger and thirsting for it, which must then lead to practicing mercy toward others.

September 24 |Daily Devotion |The Foundation Of Wisdom And Learning From The Dying Thief |Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Sep 23, 2025 · 10m
The speaker uses the example of the dying thief on the cross to illustrate the importance of having a genuine reverence for God. He emphasizes that this reverence, described as the 'fear of the Lord,' is the fundamental basis for all wisdom, comparing it to learning the ABCs before moving to higher studies. He warns that many modern Christians skip this foundational learning, leading to instability, and urges the audience to prioritize learning to respect and revere God.

Just As God Commanded | ದೇವರು ಅಜ್ಞಾಪಿಸಿದಂತೆಯೇ | Zac Poonen | Kannada
Zac Poonen · Sep 17, 2025 · 44m
The sermon draws lessons from the Old Testament account of Moses building the Tabernacle, emphasizing that God's glory resides not in outward splendor but in the inner reality. The central message is that believers are God's temple, and therefore, the focus must be on maintaining a pure heart and life lived according to God's will, rather than external appearances. True glory comes when one's life reflects God's commandments, leading to the manifestation of God's glory.

New-Covenant Fasting | ಹೊಸ ಒಡಂಬಡಿಕೆಯ ಉಪವಾಸ | Zac Poonen | Kannada
Zac Poonen · Sep 15, 2025 · 43m
The sermon emphasizes that fasting should be done for the heart's desire to see God's glory, not for public display. Drawing from Matthew 6, the speaker stresses that God sees the inner disposition, not just outward acts. Furthermore, fasting is presented as a discipline that helps overcome the enslavement to physical desires, both regarding food and sexual intimacy, leading to a life focused on Christ.

September 10 | Daily Devotion | Joy Is One Mark Of Divine Righteousness | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Sep 9, 2025 · 12m
True divine righteousness is marked by a joy that persists 24 hours a day, not just during religious services. The speaker cautions against superficial, performative joy seen in some charismatic circles, emphasizing that genuine joy is tested when life goes wrong or when people are difficult. Instead of focusing on external displays, one must seek this deep, internal righteousness through consistent devotion to God.

September 1 | Daily Devotion | Giving Our Best As An Offering To God | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Aug 31, 2025 · 11m
The speaker emphasizes that God desires a pure testimony in every location, not necessarily a large one. Drawing from Malachi, he contrasts the Israelites' habit of offering their sick, lame, and blind animals—the leftovers—with what God truly desires. He urges listeners to examine how they give their best to God in terms of time, energy, and money, warning against offering only the minimum or the leftovers of one's life.

Principles Of God's Kingdom | ದೇವರ ರಾಜ್ಯದ ಮೂಲಸೂತ್ರಗಳು | Zac Poonen | Kannada
Zac Poonen · Aug 31, 2025 · 1h 12m
The sermon explores the true meaning of the Kingdom of God, clarifying that it is not merely a future, powerful, or political arrival, but rather the rule of God governing every aspect of life. The speaker emphasizes that living under God's government means conducting oneself with integrity, righteousness, and purity in all dealings, whether in work or personal life. He contrasts this with superficial enjoyment of worldly entertainment, urging the congregation to embrace the principles of God's rule in their daily lives.

August 26 | Daily Devotion | Desire Only God And Nothing Else | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Aug 25, 2025 · 12m
The central message is that true worship involves desiring nothing on earth except the Lord, a sentiment that must be continually affirmed throughout life. The speaker argues that mere singing or giving praise is not true worship; rather, it is a deep, heart-felt declaration of supreme devotion to Jesus. He warns that accumulating worldly success or relying on religious accolades can lead to spiritual complacency, urging listeners to prioritize a pure, unwavering desire for God above all else.

August 25 | Daily Devotion | Building The Church By Offering That Which Is Costly | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Aug 24, 2025 · 11m
The central message is that true devotion to God requires offering sacrifices that are costly, not cheap or worthless. Drawing from Malachi and 2 Samuel, the speaker contrasts offering lame, sick, or blind animals with offering what truly costs the giver something. He urges listeners to examine what they offer to God—whether it is a sacrifice of time, comfort, or resources—and to commit to a life of costly sacrifice for Christ.
