August 6 | Daily Devotion | The Tree Of Law And The Tree Of Life | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · 9m · CFC Daily Devotions

Living From the Spirit and Not the Soul - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Aug 19, 2022 · 1h 29m
The speaker cautions against seeking novelty in spiritual teaching, arguing that God's method is often through repetition, and the true measure of truth is personal experience, not mere knowledge. He warns that excessive focus on biblical knowledge without grounding in the real Jesus Christ can lead to spiritual blindness and deception. The true mark of a New Covenant church meeting, according to the speaker, is that attendees leave with the secrets of their hearts disclosed, not merely witnessing spectacular signs or miracles.

10 important truths that I’ve learned and lived being in CFC for 47 years - Ian Robson
Ian Robson · Aug 19, 2022 · 50m
The speaker shares three profound lessons learned over 47 years in the church: first, true fellowship is forged through fire and requires commitment beyond mere friendship; second, one must love brothers without hypocrisy and strive to be a peacemaker, starting at home; and third, the 'whole council of God' is more than just repentance or baptism, but involves being transformed by the Holy Spirit to behold the glory of Jesus. He challenges the audience, especially the young, to live out these truths.

Jeremy Utley - How Big Is Your Faith?
Jeremy Utley · Aug 17, 2022 · 9m
Drawing from the account of Jesus calming the storm in Luke 8, the speaker emphasizes that 'little faith' is characterized by waiting until the very last moment before crying out for help. He argues that Jesus tests us even in our areas of perceived strength, challenging us to rely on Him rather than our own expertise or checklists. True faith requires dependence on God even when we feel we have the knowledge or ability to handle a situation ourselves.

How The Lord Planted His Churches Through CFC -- Zac Poonen -- August 14, 2022
Zac Poonen · Aug 16, 2022 · 1h 8m
The speaker recounts the history of the CFC church, emphasizing that God builds His church not through human cleverness, education, or wealth, but through the power of the Holy Spirit. True discipleship requires radical repentance—a 180-degree turn away from self-will toward God's way. He warns against merely having the 'form' of godliness without genuine inner transformation.

The central message is that all Christian actions, such as kindness and forgiveness, must originate from Christ to be truly pleasing to God. The speaker emphasizes that if the source of our good deeds is ourselves, God sees through it, regardless of how good the action appears externally. True spiritual growth, therefore, is motivated by a desire for Christ to increase in our lives, allowing us to know God more deeply.

1. Being a Christ-Like Husband -- Zac Poonen -- August 10, 2022
Zac Poonen · Aug 12, 2022 · 1h 29m
The sermon emphasizes that husbands must act as leaders, drawing parallels from scripture to establish the man's role in the home and church. Key points include that a man must always see God first, before seeing his wife, and that husbands must intervene when their wives disobey God's commands, as Adam failed to do. Ultimately, men are called to be strong leaders in all areas of life.

Jeremy Utley - Having The Right Attitude Towards Discipleship
Jeremy Utley · Aug 11, 2022 · 13m
The speaker uses examples from the Gospel of Luke, particularly the healing of the demon-possessed man, to discuss the proper attitude toward ministry and discipleship. He contrasts instances where Jesus commanded silence with the instance where he told the man to proclaim God's works. The central message is that believers should not be discouraged by lack of appreciation, but rather should be proactive in sharing the testimony of God's power, embracing an offensive witness rather than clinging defensively to a comfortable environment.

The central message is that Christians are called to reflect the life of Jesus by constantly striving to do good in their daily interactions, much like a sweet aroma. The speaker emphasizes that this requires perseverance, not losing heart when immediate goodness isn't visible. He uses the analogy of a broken water pipe to illustrate that unaddressed bitterness can cause severe spiritual damage, urging the audience to immediately address such negative emotions through forgiveness and seeking God's help.

The Blessed Life of the New Covenant -- Zac Poonen -- August 7, 2022
Zac Poonen · Aug 8, 2022 · 1h 12m
The speaker argues that true Christian life is found not merely in studying the Word or performing religious duties, but in embracing the 'way of the cross' and the 'new covenant.' He emphasizes that the goal is not perfection in one's own strength, but a daily desire to become more like Christ, recognizing that ministry is secondary to the life itself. This transformation is facilitated by the Holy Spirit, moving believers from the legalistic focus of the Old Testament to the grace-filled calling of sonship.

Breaking of Bread is a Covenant -- Zac Poonen -- August 6, 2022
Zac Poonen · Aug 8, 2022 · 38m
The speaker traces the concept of 'covenant' from biblical history, citing examples like the rainbow after the flood, the covenant with Abraham (circumcision), and the covenant with Israel (shedding blood). He argues that Jesus established the New Covenant at the Last Supper, where breaking bread symbolized his body being broken for sin. The central message is a warning that many Christians treat the elements of worship, like breaking bread, as mere empty rituals without understanding the profound commitment and reality of the covenant established by Christ.

7th August 2022 - "Church" Called Out Of The World - Charles Banna, John P
Charles Banna · Aug 7, 2022 · 1h 46m
The sermon begins with praise and worship, focusing on Jesus's redemptive work. The speaker then leads the congregation in prayer, acknowledging their weakness and dependence on God's presence and guidance. The message concludes by reading and meditating on scripture, specifically contrasting the theme of being 'delivered over to death' for Christ's sake (2 Corinthians 4:11-12) with the command to be kind and forgiving to one another (Ephesians 4:32).

Yielding Ourselves To Be Built Into The Body Of Christ - John Pereira
John Pereira · Aug 4, 2022 · 52m
The central message is that believers must remain in a state of neediness and dependence on the Lord, as the church is being built by Jesus Christ through the Holy Spirit. The speaker emphasizes that true discipleship requires humility, acknowledging one's weakness, and actively participating in the body of Christ, rather than relying on self-effort. He urges listeners to examine whether they are being built into this body by living righteously in all areas of life.

The speaker urges the congregation to recognize the current 'time of visitation' from God, warning against spiritual complacency like the religious leaders who missed Jesus's ministry. He advises believers to live differently by being transformed through the renewing of their minds, emphasizing that true self-assessment involves measuring one's value by dependence on God, not by past victories or achievements.

The central message is to persevere in doing good, both personally and corporately, drawing inspiration from Galatians 6:9. The speaker emphasizes that consistency in good works is harder than doing them once, urging the congregation to be diligent in their preparation for sharing within the church family, citing the example of Paul's consistent ministry. Ultimately, the motivation for this effort should be to reap the joy of the Lord.

The Grace in Which We Stand and Overcome -- Zac Poonen -- July 31, 2022
Zac Poonen · Aug 1, 2022 · 57m
The central message is that maintaining unbroken fellowship with God requires absolute honesty, which is presented as more crucial than perfect holiness. The speaker warns against pretense and hypocrisy, urging listeners to confess faults directly to God rather than blaming others, citing the example of Adam. True discipleship involves living openly in the light of God's truth.

Everybody Needs Somebody to Lean On - Ian Robson
Ian Robson · Jul 28, 2022 · 58m
The speaker emphasizes that true spiritual bonds are forged not through mere fellowship, but through shared trials and struggles. He draws parallels between the relationship Christ has with the church (illustrated by Song of Solomon 8:5) and the necessary support systems in life, urging listeners to actively seek people—in marriage, family, and church—upon whom they can lean. Ultimately, the message is a call to build deep, supportive relationships, especially as the end times approach, mirroring the profound reliance shown by John at the cross.

Zac Poonen · Jul 26, 2022 · 1h 26m
The speaker discusses various aspects of Christian living, including the necessity of humble service, using the example of foot washing as a non-ritualistic act of service. He advises that for fellowship, starting small in a home is ideal, with online participation being a good second option. Regarding fasting and prayer, announcing these times is acceptable as long as the motive is pleasing to God, not seeking human honor. Finally, he clarifies that New Testament prophecy is not about predicting the future but about building up, challenging, and comforting the hearers.

1. Walking as Jesus Walked -- Zac Poonen -- July 22, 2022
Zac Poonen · Jul 25, 2022 · 58m
The speaker emphasizes that the 'higher Christian life' means walking in the manner of Jesus, which involves more than just singing hymns; it requires deep, meaningful communication with the Lord. He argues that Jesus' example was comprehensive, encompassing not only ministry and preaching but also practical, honest work like carpentry. Therefore, Christians in secular jobs must emulate this by being faithful and honest in their daily vocations.

Discipline In Our Family Life - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jul 25, 2022 · 59m
The speaker advises that believers should trust God's sovereignty through all life's mistakes and difficulties, rather than complaining. He emphasizes that true discipleship requires focusing on the early, foundational years of Jesus's life, not just his famous later ministry. Ultimately, one must be willing to serve humbly, like washing feet, and embrace difficult circumstances, as God's greatest blessings are often found in the lowest places.

Six Verses That Describe Our Vision - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jul 25, 2022 · 59m
The speaker emphasizes that a church's vision must remain focused on God's original calling, which is building the body rather than accumulating physical assets. He stresses that the foundation of Christian life must be a constant recognition of God's boundless mercy, as we continually discover areas of sin and unchristlike living. This realization should lead to a life of constant repentance and a desire to live to reflect Christ's likeness.

The central message emphasizes that the goal of Christians is to reflect Jesus by growing in personal purity and functioning corporately within the local church. The speaker draws heavily from John 11, using the resurrection of Lazarus to illustrate that belief in Jesus's life-giving word is what brings salvation, even when circumstances seem hopeless. He concludes by stressing that merely hearing God's word is insufficient; true discipleship requires actively doing what is heard, comparing it to building a house on the rock.

Jeremy Utley · Jul 25, 2022 · 31m
The central message is that while people often come to Jesus for temporary needs like healing, provision, or relief from difficulty, the true purpose of coming to Him is discipleship and salvation from sin. The speaker warns against mistaking past blessings or answered prayers for evidence of true discipleship, emphasizing that following Jesus requires a commitment to His kingdom even when it brings hardship.
