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.

November 14 | Daily Devotion | Having Authority Over Satan | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Nov 13, 2025 · 11m
The message emphasizes that Jesus came to destroy the works and power of the devil, not the devil himself. True authority over Satan is gained not through power, but through a clear conscience, confessing all sins, and forgiving everyone. The speaker illustrates that seeking worldly things by putting God second is how one loses this spiritual authority, contrasting this with Jesus' teaching to seek the Kingdom of God first.

November 11 | Daily Devotion | A Life Of Peace With God | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Nov 10, 2025 · 11m
To achieve a life of peace with God, one must maintain a clear conscience by taking absolute and honest responsibility for their own sin, refusing to blame others. Furthermore, when confessing sin, one must call it by its worst possible name, treating every transgression—no matter how small—as a serious violation of God's law. By confessing radically and believing in the cleansing power of Jesus' blood, one can stand before God with peace.

November 7 | Daily Devotion | The Fear Of God Gives Me Little More Light On Myself | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Nov 6, 2025 · 9m
The speaker contrasts the world's self-seeking nature, which is characterized by a lack of the fear of the Lord, with the life of Christ. True spiritual growth requires constant confession of sin—anything unlike Christ—to peel back layers of self-seeking. Furthermore, building the church requires first possessing the 'new wine,' which is the life of Christ, before attempting to build the structure.

November 6 | Daily Devotion | The Result Of The Fear Of The Lord | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Nov 5, 2025 · 8m
The speaker argues that a lack of the fear of God—manifested by careless words and a refusal to repent—is present in the world and even among many believers. True spiritual growth is marked by increasing sensitivity to sin, leading to a life of daily repentance. Ultimately, the mark of God's blessing is not ministry success, but the continuous revelation of unchristlike sin, which draws one closer to Christ's likeness.

October 27 |Daily Devotion |A Good Conscience Will Lead Us To Reconcile With God And Men |Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Oct 26, 2025 · 10m
A good conscience requires reconciliation both with God and with people. When dealing with people, one must apologize and seek forgiveness for wrongs committed. When dealing with money gained unrighteously, one must either repay the specific person or, if the original owner is unknown, give the money to the poor or the church, as all things ultimately belong to God.

October 16 | Daily Devotion | Jesus Cancelled The Debt Of Our Sin On The Cross | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Oct 15, 2025 · 11m
The sermon emphasizes that the gospel is more than just forgiveness; it requires understanding that sin is coming short of the life of Jesus Christ. The speaker urges believers to press forward daily toward Christlikeness, rather than remaining in a perpetual state of spiritual infancy. Furthermore, true forgiveness requires remembering that Christ canceled our debt on the cross, meaning we must forgive others by choosing not to remember their offenses, mirroring God's grace.

October 14 | Daily Devotion | Let Your Conscience Be Sensitive To Sin Always | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Oct 13, 2025 · 11m
The central message is the necessity of maintaining a sensitive conscience by living in the fear of the Lord, which means actively hating sin. The speaker emphasizes that true reverence for God is not about never sinning, but about immediately seeking to correct any slip-up with both God and others. He warns against hardening one's heart and neglecting the voice of conscience, as this can lead to a state where one no longer feels the weight of sin.

Understanding Dead Works | ನಿರ್ಜೀವ ಕಾರ್ಯಗಳನ್ನು ಅರ್ಥಮಾಡಿಕೊಳ್ಳುವುದು | Zac Poonen | Kannada
Zac Poonen · Oct 11, 2025 · 1h 55m
The sermon distinguishes between merely observing God's works and truly understanding God's ways, noting that the latter is what endures eternally. The speaker emphasizes that Jesus died not only for our sins but also to free us from the system and values of this fallen world. He warns that many Christians are susceptible to worldly temptations, such as the desire for status or leadership, which are forms of worldly glory that can lead to spiritual downfall.

Zac Poonen - Submission to Authorities
Zac Poonen · Oct 7, 2025 · 23m
Zac Poonen teaches that Christians must decrease so Christ can increase, particularly through submission to all authorities—at work, home, and in government. He argues that rebellion against authority is the root sin, illustrated through Genesis 3 where Eve's first sin was failing to consult Adam's authority rather than eating the fruit, and Adam's first sin was failing to assert his God-given headship. Submission to authority, whether to employers, spouses, parents, or government, is God's command and the means by which the life of Jesus is manifested in us.

September 19 | Daily Devotion | The Nature Of Sin And God's Transforming Power | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Sep 18, 2025 · 11m
Sin can manifest in five areas: deeds, words, thoughts, attitudes toward people, and motives. The speaker emphasizes that all actions must be done for the glory of God, as even good deeds are sinful if the motive is wrong. He concludes by stressing that true forgiveness, mirroring God's constant forgiveness, is necessary for God to forgive us, citing Matthew 6:15.

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.

Entering the Life of Victory - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Sep 15, 2025 · 1h 9m
The speaker argues that true victory over sin requires a determined effort to learn to walk, comparing this to a child learning to walk rather than remaining perpetually carried. He posits that a wholehearted disciple should achieve this 'life of victory' in about two years, drawing parallels to the Israelites' original two-year plan after leaving Egypt. He emphasizes that spiritual maturity requires actively engaging with the struggle rather than remaining in a state of perpetual comfort or care.

September 15 | Daily Devotion | Pressing On To Perfection Behind Our Forerunner | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Sep 14, 2025 · 13m
The speaker encourages believers to stand firm in their faith, comparing the commitment of early Christians like Polycarp to the need to remain steadfast in the face of cultural pressures. He emphasizes that the last days will test faith, requiring believers to live righteously like Noah. The message concludes by urging the audience to move beyond basic knowledge ('milk') and embrace the 'solid food' of the word of righteousness, which involves actively overcoming sin in every area of life.

September 14 | Daily Devotion | Lay Hold Of God For Deliverance From Sin | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Sep 13, 2025 · 13m
The message emphasizes that receiving God's blessings and the Holy Spirit requires persistent, persistent seeking, much like the widow who pleaded with the judge day and night. The speaker contrasts this persistent faith with complacency, warning that spiritual stagnation or defeat by sin renders one vulnerable. Ultimately, the core message is to actively and persistently hold onto God for deliverance and divine intervention in all areas of life.

September 12 | Daily Devotion | A Victorious Life Over Sin | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Sep 11, 2025 · 11m
The central message is that a Christian's life must align with their professed faith, as their daily actions testify more loudly than their words. The speaker emphasizes that conquering sin, like casting off a burdensome lizard to gain a horse, allows believers to run full speed into God's kingdom. True victory comes through receiving the Holy Spirit's power and maintaining fellowship within the body of Christ.

September 11 | Daily Devotion | God Has A Promised Land For The Faithful | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Sep 10, 2025 · 13m
The central message is that true victory over sin means not falling occasionally, but having learned to walk in the Lord, much like a child learning to walk. The speaker draws parallels from the Bible, noting that God's original plan for Israel was to enter the promised land two years after leaving Egypt. Believers are encouraged to move past the mindset of unbelief, recognizing that sin cannot have dominion over them, and to possess the life of victory through faith.

Dead Works And The New Covenant - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Sep 7, 2025 · 58m
The speaker warns that legalism is the primary hindrance to entering the new covenant, cautioning against falling into the trap of worldliness while simultaneously criticizing the extremes of both. He emphasizes that the Christian life requires walking a very narrow path, which demands constant self-examination and humility. Ultimately, the message stresses that spiritual pride is worse than sin, and believers must judge themselves severely to avoid hypocrisy and judgment at Christ's return.

August 31 | Daily Devotion | The True Church Helps You To Be Free From Sin | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Aug 30, 2025 · 12m
The true church is not defined by a building or denomination but by its adherence to the truth that sets believers free from sin, as taught by Jesus. True Christian life requires believers to be built together in fellowship, like bricks in a structure, rather than existing in isolation. Furthermore, following Christ means walking the narrow way, which necessitates actively forgiving others, as God's forgiveness is conditional upon our own willingness to forgive.

August 22 | Daily Devotion | Never Evaluate Yourself By External Life And Be Deceived | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Aug 21, 2025 · 9m
True spirituality is not measured by external religious activities like knowing scripture, preaching, or singing, but by the daily willingness to deny one's own will and selfishness. The speaker emphasizes that one must constantly seek light on their own selfishness—whether in finances, family life, or ministry—and actively deny it to build a life foundation on the rock, rather than the shifting sand of mere understanding or emotion.

August 21 | Daily Devotion | Finish With Self-Will And Finish With Sinning | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Aug 20, 2025 · 10m
The speaker emphasizes that 1 Peter 4:1 promises that suffering in the flesh leads to ceasing from sin, which is not about physical health but about ceasing sinful habits like anger or complaining. He clarifies that 'flesh' in the New Testament refers to self-will, not just the physical body. True holiness means yielding to God's will, as exemplified by Jesus in John 6:38, who lived by the will of the Father.

August 16 | Daily Devotion | Strive To Enter Through The Narrow Gate To Be Saved | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Aug 15, 2025 · 8m
The message emphasizes that while God desires all people to be saved and repent, salvation requires actively striving to enter through the narrow gate. The speaker warns that many will seek entry but fail, citing the rich young ruler whose love of money prevented him from following Christ. Ultimately, life is a series of daily decisions—regarding money, sin, media, etc.—which are like sowing seeds that will determine the harvest in eternity.

August 14 | Daily Devotion | Jesus Has Come To Seek And To Save The Lost | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Aug 13, 2025 · 9m
The message emphasizes that true salvation goes beyond merely avoiding hell; Jesus seeks to save us from various earthly enslavements like the love of money, lust, pride, and the opinions of others. The speaker urges listeners to shed worldly weights, comparing it to dumping sandbags from a hot air balloon, and instead focus on trying to learn what pleases the Lord, as suggested by Ephesians 5:10.

Zac Poonen · Aug 11, 2025 · 41m
The speaker emphasizes that God's ways and thoughts are infinitely higher than human understanding, citing Isaiah 55:8-9. He uses analogies, like a parent's foresight or a child's inability to grasp adult decisions, to illustrate this point. The talk concludes by examining Zechariah 3, where Satan accuses the high priest Joshua, illustrating that even the best believer is covered in sin, and ultimate acquittal comes only from God, not self-declaration.

Important Principles in the Body of Christ — Zac Poonen — August 1, 2025
Zac Poonen · Aug 11, 2025 · 57m
The central message emphasizes that true discipleship requires living consistently with one's professed faith, mirroring the manner of Christ. This requires constant self-examination regarding attitudes toward women, money, and circumstances. Furthermore, believers must pursue total cleansing from sin—addressing both external actions (flesh) and internal thoughts/motives (spirit)—with the same urgency as treating a deadly illness.
