9th June 2013 - God's Eyes Look For Those Whose Heart Is Completely His
CFC Messages · Jul 2, 2013 · 58m
God's eyes are constantly searching for those whose hearts are completely devoted to Him, not just partially committed. The message uses King Asa's life to illustrate that God strongly supports those who are 100% committed, requiring believers to purge all idolatry from their hearts. This commitment leads to God's provision, rest, and blessing.

The True Grace Of God - (1 of 2) by Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jun 4, 2013 · 59m
The central message is that the true grace of God is far greater than merely forgiving sin; it is demonstrated by the immense transformation God can bring to a person's life. The speaker warns against misunderstanding grace, cautioning that many believers settle for a low standard of living and fail to grasp the full scope of what Christ accomplished. True grace empowers the heart, enabling believers to live lives that reflect Christ's sinless example, rather than just possessing intellectual knowledge of scripture.

Getting God's Certificate, Not Man's - Zac Poonen (Telugu)
Zac Poonen · May 26, 2013 · 55m
The sermon emphasizes that true wisdom requires the ability to discern good from evil, comparing this to a child who cannot distinguish between mud and playthings. The speaker warns that spiritual immaturity prevents believers from recognizing what is truly good, citing examples like consuming inappropriate media or holding unforgiveness. The central message is that genuine growth is necessary to discern God's standard over man's, as only God is inherently good.

Through The Bible - English - 06 (Leviticus) by Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Apr 10, 2013 · 58m
The speaker emphasizes that Leviticus is a book centered on the holiness of God, comparing sin to sickness and holiness to health. He argues that the five types of offerings described in Leviticus all prefigure Christ's perfect life and death. Specifically, the burnt offering illustrates the total, perfect presentation of one's life to God, mirroring Jesus' flawless life and sacrifice.

Through The Bible - English - 56 (Colossians) by Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Apr 10, 2013 · 54m
The central theme of Colossians is that Christ dwells in us, manifesting divine life through our human bodies. Paul addresses false teachings that promote extremes regarding the body—either through asceticism or through unrestrained indulgence—both of which ultimately despise the body. The message emphasizes that sin is not inherent in the body, as demonstrated by Jesus Christ, who had a sinless human body, and that believers must choose daily to let God's life manifest through it.

Through The Bible - English - 62 (Hebrews-2) by Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Apr 10, 2013 · 57m
The sermon emphasizes that the Word of God is a living, active sword that penetrates to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart, unlike the Old Covenant law which only tested external obedience. Furthermore, the Word distinguishes between the 'soul' (human understanding/ideas) and the 'spirit' (divine reality), warning against relying on human methods for spiritual service. Believers must constantly submit to God's word to maintain a clean heart and align their lives with divine ways.

Zac Poonen · Apr 6, 2013 · 47m
The sermon warns against unequally yoking oneself with unbelievers, emphasizing that fellowship between light and darkness is impossible because God and the devil have different aims. The speaker stresses that true Christian life requires being born again and living by the values of the light, not compromising with worldly views. He also addresses the necessity of perfecting holiness through the fear of God and critiques the modern practice of ministers soliciting money from congregations.

Through The Bible - Tamil - 34 (Zephaniah & Haggai) by Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Apr 6, 2013 · 50m
The sermon emphasizes that the core message across all Old Testament prophets, including Zephaniah, is the tension between God's severe judgment against sin and His enduring goodness toward the faithful remnant. The speaker warns against superficial revivals and modern spiritual deception, urging listeners to discern true holiness from mere emotional excitement or worldly alliances. Ultimately, the focus remains on maintaining faithfulness to God amidst cultural compromise.

Through The Bible - Tamil - 25 (Isaiah - 2) by Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Apr 6, 2013 · 50m
The sermon analyzes Isaiah's condemnation of the Daughters of Zion for their outward adornments, contrasting this with God's ultimate judgment and cleansing power. It emphasizes that true holiness involves more than visible sin, pointing to the profound, uncreated nature of God's holiness. The speaker urges listeners to recognize that even after cleansing visible sins, the deeper, unseen aspects of life require a complete surrender to Christ's righteousness.

Zac Poonen · Apr 6, 2013 · 51m
This study covers the first two letters to the Thessalonians, emphasizing that the central theme in both is the second coming of Christ and the need for believers to live holy lives in preparation. Key messages include preaching the gospel not just with words but with power, resisting idols like money and pleasure, and maintaining holiness in body, spirit, and soul. The speaker warns against false prophecy and stresses that faith and love, demonstrated through perseverance amid persecution, are the most important signs of true Christian life.

Through The Bible - Tamil - 68 (1 John) by Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Apr 6, 2013 · 50m
The speaker discusses the core message of 1 John, emphasizing that true Christian life centers on fellowship with God and one another, which is rooted in understanding that God is light and love. He stresses that the mark of being filled with the Holy Spirit is not speaking in tongues, but rather loving God with all one's heart and loving others as oneself. Ultimately, maintaining fellowship requires cleansing the heart from sin, as hypocrisy is worse than open sin.

Repentance From Dead Works - Zac Poonen - March 1, 2013
Zac Poonen · Mar 11, 2013 · 1h 0m
The central message is that a person's primary purpose on earth is to be the dwelling place for God's life, rather than focusing solely on visible accomplishments or spiritual gifts. Just as the burning bush was ordinary but contained God's fire, every believer, regardless of their calling or gifting, must manifest the life of God to fulfill their purpose. This requires prioritizing a genuine, internal connection with God over outward ministry success or material gain.

5.Wisdom Lights Up Our Face by Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Dec 31, 2012 · 57m
The sermon emphasizes that true wisdom, which begins with the fear of the Lord, will naturally illuminate a person's face and personality. This inner wisdom, cultivated through accepting divine correction, will manifest outwardly in one's eyes, demeanor, and speech. The speaker warns that a person's inner life—filled with gossip, curiosity, or 'garbage'—will inevitably reveal itself, much like a bad odor, even if concealed from others.

7.Thanksgiving Praise And Worship by Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Dec 31, 2012 · 1h 0m
The speaker distinguishes between thanksgiving, praise, and worship, noting that while they are often mixed, understanding them separately is beneficial for spiritual growth. He emphasizes that developing the habit of giving thanks and praise to God, and gratitude to people, is crucial for a healthy Christian life, viewing ingratitude as a spiritual debt. The core message is to practice these acts not for reward, but because they are inherently godly.

A Marriage Changed By God - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Aug 26, 2012 · 56m
The speaker discusses that while marriage is ordained for human beings, all aspects of life—including marriage—must be lived in a Christian way. He cautions that merely being 'religious' (attending church) is insufficient; true change comes from allowing the Holy Spirit to transform one's attitude and actions, especially within the home. The central message is to treat one's spouse with the same respect given to strangers, mirroring Christ's loving yet firm standard of holiness.

The Father Wants a Pure Bride for His Son - Santosh Poonen - August 9, 2012
Santosh Poonen · Aug 9, 2012 · 57m
The central message is that the Holy Spirit is necessary because the Father desires a pure and spotless bride for His Son, Jesus. The speaker emphasizes that human effort is insufficient to meet Christ's standard of holiness, and only the Spirit can transform us, making us beautiful in the Father's eyes. This spiritual preparation is necessary for the believer to stand confidently with Christ.

04.The True Grace Of God - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jun 24, 2012 · 57m
The central message is that true Christianity requires the inner life to align with the outward life, 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.

04.Choosing The Creator Over The Created - Zac Poonen (With Tamil Translation)
Zac Poonen · Jun 24, 2012 · 25m
The core message is that true holiness cannot be achieved merely by external religious reform; it requires internal purification through making conscious choices. Sin originates in pride and rebellion, and the ability to become holy is dependent on having the freedom to choose between God (the Creator) and created things. Temptation, therefore, is the mechanism God uses to test whether we choose Him above all attractive worldly things.

13.God's Power Alone Can Help Us - Zac Poonen (With Tamil Translation)
Zac Poonen · Jun 24, 2012 · 26m
The core message is that sin creates a separation between humanity and God, which can only be reconciled through Christ's atoning death and resurrection. While Christianity teaches that we are sinners and cannot achieve holiness through our own efforts, God provides the necessary power—His Spirit—to live a holy life. This divine power is the essential element that enables believers to follow the foundation of the faith.

23.Renewal Through God's Word - Zac Poonen (With Tamil Translation)
Zac Poonen · Jun 24, 2012 · 27m
The central message is that true spiritual growth requires continuous renewal through God's Word and the Holy Spirit, not just receiving correct information. Just as God created the world through a process of divine word and Spirit's action, believers must respond daily to the Word to be transformed into God's image. This renewal is a constant process, as stagnation or complacency leads to spiritual decline, requiring daily repentance and effort.

28.The Sin Of Jealousy - Zac Poonen (With Tamil Translation)
Zac Poonen · Jun 24, 2012 · 26m
The sermon uses the story of Cain and Abel to illustrate that God accepts the offering based on the heart and motive of the giver, not just the physical offering itself. The speaker emphasizes that external religious acts or miracles are insufficient if the heart is corrupt or motivated by pride. True acceptance comes from a right heart, mirroring the voluntary and sincere devotion shown by Abel.
