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.

Santosh Poonen · May 19, 2024 · 1m

The greatest regret Christians will have in eternity. #santoshpoonen youtu.be/j8-UwWmMn1Y
Santosh Poonen · May 18, 2024 · 59s
The speaker suggests that the greatest regret for Christians in eternity will be knowing God's promises but failing to experience their reality in their lives. He uses the example of Jeremiah 33:3, emphasizing that mere memorization of scripture is insufficient; one must actually live out the promise of calling upon God.

Santosh Poonen · May 17, 2024 · 1m 1s
The speaker distinguishes between merely looking to Jesus for forgiveness and actively following Him. Simply acknowledging Jesus's work on the cross is insufficient; true Christianity requires a continual aspect of following. Remaining static after repentance and belief means one is not truly a Christian.

A narrow way but Jesus has gone before & His presence brings joy #santoshpoonen youtu.be/M6MHdGzzr9I
Santosh Poonen · May 6, 2024 · 58s
The speaker cautions against the misconception that Christian life is one of constant comfort, emphasizing instead that it is a narrow way. He assures the congregation that Jesus has walked this path before them, and His mere presence is the source of true joy, regardless of external circumstances or personal feelings.

The sermon emphasizes that while believers may experience losing individual battles in daily life, they should not despair because the ultimate war is already won by Jesus Christ.

Therefore, believers are encouraged to persevere and remain part of the victory that has already been secured.

Realizing Our True Purpose | 3. OUR RESPONSE TO GOD | ದೇವರಿಗೆ ನಮ್ಮ ಪ್ರತಿಕ್ರಿಯೆ | Santosh Poonen
Santosh Poonen · Mar 15, 2024 · 19m
The core message is that while God has provided the solution to sin through Jesus, receiving that salvation requires a conscious response from the individual. This response involves three key actions: honestly admitting sin and the need for salvation, repenting by deciding to turn away from sin toward Jesus, and having faith by believing in and accepting Christ's saving work. True transformation comes from God replacing our 'stony heart' with a new, clean heart through the Holy Spirit.

Santosh Poonen · Oct 30, 2023 · 59m
The speaker emphasizes that the way forward for the church is to embrace simplicity and childlike faith, contrasting it with intellectualism and worldly impressiveness.

Santosh Poonen · Sep 1, 2023 · 15m
The speaker emphasizes that the true sign of the Lord's presence in a church is a palpable sense of His nearness, which causes the devil to panic. He argues that the church Jesus is building is not defined by its name or size, but by the authority of its members to overcome Satan. Furthermore, he stresses the importance of personal revelation regarding Christ's identity and the confidence that God hears every prayer offered in faith.

Santosh Poonen · Jul 20, 2023 · 50m
The speaker draws inspiration from Paul's life in Philippians 3, emphasizing that true Christian life involves pressing on wholeheartedly, rather than settling into complacency. He argues that the motivation to press on comes from realizing that Christ laid hold of us despite our failures, prompting us to run to win the race toward heaven. This pursuit of Christ should be constant, regardless of our current circumstances or community involvement.
