Bobby McDonald - Overcoming Unbelief and Negative Attitudes
Bobby McDonald · Oct 26, 2020 · 26m
The speaker uses the story of the Israelites in Numbers 14 to illustrate the danger of unbelief and negative attitudes, contrasting it with the faith shown by Joshua and Caleb. He emphasizes that a positive, hopeful attitude, which is rooted in faith, is crucial, noting that even good outward actions can be undermined by a negative heart. Ultimately, he defines a negative attitude as unbelief—a declaration that God is not good or that things will not work out for the best.

The Spirit of Sacrifice and Service (Message to Women) -- Annie Poonen -- October 21, 2020
Annie Poonen · Oct 22, 2020 · 28m
The speaker draws lessons from the biblical story of the widow of Zarephath, whom God commanded to care for the prophet Elijah during a severe drought. She exemplified profound unselfishness by immediately prioritizing the prophet's needs over her own last meal. The speaker applies this to modern life, emphasizing that true faith involves a spirit of sacrifice, obedience, and willingness to serve others without expecting personal reward.

Jeremy Utley - Longing for the Holy Spirit
Jeremy Utley · Oct 21, 2020 · 13m
The central message is the urgent need to desire and receive the Holy Spirit, mirroring Jesus' passion to give it. The speaker draws parallels from Luke 12:50 and John 20, arguing that relying on Jesus' physical presence is insufficient; instead, one must embrace the Spirit's empowering presence. Practically, this means actively choosing to be filled with the Holy Spirit, viewing it as a superior alternative to worldly distractions.

Even Jesus Lived by Faith -- Santosh Poonen -- October 18, 2020
Santosh Poonen · Oct 19, 2020 · 59m
The central message is that true discipleship means living a life that naturally draws others to Christ, making one a 'fisher of men' through one's life, not just through preaching. The speaker emphasizes that the call to follow Jesus is simple, like being washed clean, and warns that the greatest blasphemy for a Christian is unbelief. He concludes by urging believers to continually encourage one another to guard against an 'evil unbelieving heart.'

Two Levels of Faith in the Christian Life -- Zac Poonen -- October 7, 2020
Zac Poonen · Oct 8, 2020 · 1h 2m
The sermon contrasts two levels of Christian life: merely having 'life' versus possessing 'abundant life.' Drawing from Revelation and John's Gospel, the speaker emphasizes that believers must strive to be 'overcomers' rather than settling for a comfortable, superficial faith within a good church. He warns that remaining spiritually immature, like a baby, manifests as jealousy and strife, urging the congregation to press toward spiritual maturity.

Abraham: The Man Who Worshipped God - Zac Poonen - September 5, 2020
Zac Poonen · Sep 6, 2020 · 1h 1m
The speaker emphasizes that all scripture is profitable, and believers are called to be witnesses not only with words but through their entire lives, even when alone. He argues that the ultimate witness is to God, not just to people, citing Job as an example. The message concludes by drawing parallels between Abraham's life, Jesus's testing, and the longing to be called by God as both His servant and His friend.

From God, Through God and To God - Zac Poonen - September 2, 2020
Zac Poonen · Sep 3, 2020 · 49m
The central message is that true Christian life requires a deep, settled assurance of God's intense, loving fatherhood, which is the foundation of faith. The speaker emphasizes that mere knowledge or explanation of God's love is insufficient; one must experience it as a revelation through the Holy Spirit to overcome the 'orphan spirit' of doubt. This rootedness in God's love is necessary for all other aspects of Christian living, including discipline and ability to love others.

Bobby McDonald - Zoom Out and See God's Love
Bobby McDonald · Aug 24, 2020 · 21m
The sermon explores two primary ways Satan tempts people to doubt God's love: questioning why God withholds something desired (like Adam and Eve) and questioning why God allows suffering (like Job). The central message is that when faced with these doubts, believers must 'zoom out' to see the bigger picture of God's overarching love, rather than focusing solely on the immediate problem or desire. This perspective shift allows one to trust God's plan even when the details are unclear.

The speaker contrasts worrying about future concerns with choosing to praise God regardless of circumstances, citing examples like Joshua and Caleb and Paul in prison.

Jesus is Either Everything to You or Nothing At All - Santosh Poonen - August 9, 2020
Santosh Poonen · Aug 10, 2020 · 53m
The speaker encourages deep, personal study of scripture rather than relying solely on sermons. He emphasizes that true faith requires actively engaging with God's Word, using tools like concordances to explore context. The message draws from Psalm 116, highlighting that God is a nearby, accessible God who hears our prayers, and concludes by defining 'poor in spirit' through the example of humility and selflessness.

CFC Messages · Jul 21, 2020 · 1h 20m
The sermon warns that those who assume they are secure in their faith can fall, using Peter's denial as a primary example. The speaker identifies three key reasons for Peter's fall: overconfidence in his own flesh, believing he possessed unique revelations, and relying on the sacrifices he had made for the Lord. The central message is a caution against self-reliance, emphasizing that true spiritual security comes from acknowledging our fallibility.
