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.

January 25 | Daily Devotion | We Cannot Build The Church Without Sacrifice | Zac Poonen

Zac Poonen · Jan 24, 2026 · 11m

The sermon emphasizes that the church must be built in a place of sacrifice, drawing parallels from the Old Testament examples of the Temple and Abraham's willingness to sacrifice Isaac. The central message is that true devotion requires giving what costs you something—time, comfort, or reputation—rather than offering what is cheap or free. Following God's will requires thoughtful consideration, not just emotional decisions.

January 24 | Daily Devotion | Dying To Self Is A Daily Affair | Zac Poonen

Zac Poonen · Jan 23, 2026 · 11m

The central message is the necessity of daily dying to self to truly follow Jesus, which is described as a continuous process like a marriage commitment. The speaker emphasizes that true discipleship requires walking the narrow way daily, not just standing at the gate. This daily surrender is linked to the 'new and living way' inaugurated by Christ, which ultimately means yielding one's will to the Father's will, as Jesus Himself stated.

January 22 | Daily Devotion | Discipline Your Body In Order To Win | Zac Poonen

Zac Poonen · Jan 21, 2026 · 6m

Zac Poonen teaches that disciplining our physical bodies is essential for spiritual victory and effective Christian living. Drawing on 1 Corinthians 9, he emphasizes self-control in eating, fasting, and physical desires as a means to strengthen our spiritual life and break dependencies that hinder our pursuit of God. He encourages practical steps like eating less, fasting monthly, and maintaining awareness of physical hunger to grow in discipline and spiritual power.

January 20 | Daily Devotion | Don’t Be Foolish, But Make The Most Of Your Time | Zac Poonen

Zac Poonen · Jan 20, 2026 · 10m

The central message is the importance of being disciplined in the use of time, as time is a finite resource that cannot be recovered even by God. The speaker urges listeners to make the most of their 24 hours by intentionally setting aside time for Bible study, using the analogy of gathering up leftover fragments like the loaves and fishes. This disciplined use of time is presented as a way to grow spiritually and be equipped to share God's word with others.

January 19 | Daily Devotion | Those To Whom God Gives Revelation | Zac Poonen

Zac Poonen · Jan 18, 2026 · 11m

The speaker argues that true spiritual understanding, or revelation, is evidenced by a profound shift in priorities, mirroring Moses' life. This revelation causes a person to lose interest in worldly honor, the pleasures of sin, and material wealth. The key indicator of having this revelation is a willingness to suffer with God's people, recognizing that everything outside of Christ is ultimately worthless.

January 17 | Daily Devotion | Devotion To The Lord And Fellowship With Other Believers | Zac Poonen

Zac Poonen · Jan 16, 2026 · 9m

Zac Poonen teaches that believers must develop a deep personal devotion to Jesus alongside fellowship with other believers, making him the central glory of their lives. He emphasizes that an intimate, individual relationship with Christ—where one knows him personally and communicates with him—is fundamental, and that such devotion brings spiritual privileges like being the apple of God's eye and having effective prayers. Poonen challenges false humility and external religiosity, calling believers to surrender everything to God and live with complete commitment rather than seeking privilege without responsibility.

January 16 | Daily Devotion | To Get Discernment, Glory Only In Jesus Christ | Zac Poonen

Zac Poonen · Jan 15, 2026 · 10m

The central message is that true spiritual maturity and discernment come from glorifying Jesus Christ above all else. The speaker warns that subtle forms of pride, such as valuing personal achievements or appearance, hinder spiritual growth. He emphasizes that genuine devotion means desiring nothing in life except Christ, leading to a deep, personal relationship with Jesus that surpasses mere intellectual understanding.

January 13 | Daily Devotion | The Word Of The Cross For Believers: Not My Will But God's Will

Zac Poonen · Jan 12, 2026 · 13m

Zac Poonen teaches that the word of the cross for believers means surrendering self-will to God's will, following Jesus's example of never doing his own will but only the Father's will. True discipleship transcends merely avoiding outward sins; it requires secret self-denial in hidden areas of life, which God sees and rewards with spiritual anointing and lasting impact rather than mere external decency.

Zac Poonen - Sermon on the Mount - 9

Zac Poonen · Jan 12, 2026 · 31m

Zac Poonen continues his exposition of the Sermon on the Mount, emphasizing that Jesus did not come to lower God's standards but to raise them. He challenges Christians to take Matthew 5-7 seriously by living according to the highest spiritual standards, not excusing themselves with grace, and warns that those who merely hear but do not obey His words build their lives on sand rather than rock.

January 8 | Daily Devotion | Beware When You Become Rich That You Don't Forget God | Zac Poonen

Zac Poonen · Jan 7, 2026 · 8m

The sermon warns that prosperity and comfort can lead to forgetting God and becoming spiritually arrogant, echoing the warning given in the Old Testament. The speaker emphasizes that when material success comes, believers must guard against pride and remember the Lord who saved them from sin. True discipleship requires humility, exemplified by mingling with the poor, and requires parents to take full responsibility for their children's spiritual state before seeking God's help.

4th January 2026 - Some Right Attitudes As We Enter A New Year - Zac Poonen

Zac Poonen · Jan 5, 2026 · 1h 26m

Zac Poonen leads a worship service on January 4, 2026, centered on cultivating right attitudes as the new year begins. Through songs of worship and devotion, the message emphasizes trusting in God's faithfulness, yielding to the Holy Spirit's fullness, and committing oneself to serve God faithfully throughout the coming year.

January 5 | Daily Devotion | The Pure Bride Of Christ Is Selfless | Zac Poonen

Zac Poonen · Jan 4, 2026 · 13m

Zac Poonen contrasts the spirit of Babylon with the spirit of the bride of Christ, emphasizing that true discipleship pursues life in God rather than mere knowledge, and gives generously to God rather than offering the minimum. Using examples from Cain and Abel, Paul, and Jesus himself, he teaches that the bride of Christ is selfless, seeks no honor for itself, claims no rights, and serves others without seeking personal advancement.

January 4 | Daily Devotion | Discerning The Spirit Of Babylon | Zac Poonen

Zac Poonen · Jan 3, 2026 · 13m

The message contrasts the 'Spirit of Babylon'—representing spiritual adultery and unfaithfulness to Christ—with the 'New Jerusalem,' which symbolizes the faithful bride of Christ. Spiritual adultery is defined as claiming to be Christian while being devoted to the world system, which is characterized by the lust of the flesh, eyes, and pride of life. True devotion, like the bride, is found in doing the will of God, contrasting with the temptation to focus on mere knowledge rather than spiritual life.

January 3 | Daily Devotion | Offer Your Body To God | Zac Poonen

Zac Poonen · Jan 2, 2026 · 12m

The central message is that God desires a believer's entire body, not just financial offerings or tithes. The speaker draws parallels between Old Testament rituals (like the lamb and the Red Sea crossing) and Christ's life and sacrifice, arguing that the ultimate offering required is self-surrender to God's will. Believers must understand that their physical actions and choices—how they use their eyes, tongue, and body—will be accounted for at the judgment seat of Christ.

5.Responsibilities Of Parents | 5.ತಂದೆ ತಾಯಂದಿರ ಜವಾಬ್ದಾರಿ | Zac Poonen | Kannada

Zac Poonen · Dec 30, 2025 · 58m

The sermon emphasizes that Christian parenting requires spiritual maturity, starting with being filled with the Holy Spirit, as this foundation improves one's family life first. Key teachings include honoring parents while remaining obedient to God, and the importance of raising children through consistent teaching and gentle guidance rather than harsh discipline or anger. Parents must prioritize loving their children over material possessions.

December 30 | Daily Devotion | The Mark Of The Bride Of Jesus Christ | Zac Poonen

Zac Poonen · Dec 29, 2025 · 12m

Zac Poonen teaches that the bride of Christ is marked by radical, consistent discipleship and absolute integrity. True followers of Jesus must not hide their faith for worldly gain, must be faithful to Christ (not spiritually unfaithful like the harlot daughters of Babylon), and must live with complete honesty and no hypocrisy—displaying the same godly character everywhere, not just in church. This distinguishes the 144,000 true disciples from those who merely claim to be born again but compromise their witness.

December 28 | Daily Devotion | Spirit-led Growth In Purity And In Service | Zac Poonen

Zac Poonen · Dec 27, 2025 · 10m

Zac Poonen teaches that the Holy Spirit's primary work is to transform believers into Christ-likeness both in character and ministry. True growth in purity and service means pursuing Christlike attitudes and inner transformation while actively serving others, with the ultimate destination being complete conformity to Christ at His return.

“When I Am Right, I Can Be Wrong” - An Article Explained By Zac Poonen

Zac Poonen · Dec 26, 2025 · 11m

The central message is that while being factually correct is not inherently wrong, adopting an attitude of superiority over others, even when you are right, breaks your fellowship with God. True Christian living requires humility, giving all credit for good qualities to God, and loving one's neighbor as oneself, even when they are wrong. The speaker emphasizes that love does not rejoice in unrighteousness, and we must always approach others with respect, remembering our shared status as creatures before God.

December 26 | Daily Devotion | Only One Example God Has Given Us Today - Jesus Christ

Zac Poonen · Dec 25, 2025 · 10m

The central message is that Jesus Christ is the sole and ultimate example for Christian living, surpassing even the great figures of the Old Testament. True discipleship involves following Christ's example, which means that when believers inevitably stumble, they must immediately repent and press on, rather than dwelling on past failures. This pattern of immediate recovery is what defines following Christ.

December 25 | Daily Devotion | Faith Of A Child Developed Through The Mother’s Faith | Zac Poonen

Zac Poonen · Dec 24, 2025 · 10m

Zac Poonen teaches that mothers play a crucial role in developing genuine faith in their children, not merely Bible knowledge. Through the example of Timothy's mother, he illustrates how parents who trust God through life's trials and difficulties—and teach their children to pray and seek God's help in both small and large matters—impart sincere faith that becomes the foundation of their children's spiritual character and usefulness to God.

Zac Poonen - Sermon on the Mount - 8

Zac Poonen · Dec 22, 2025 · 49m

In this message on the Sermon on the Mount, Zac Poonen emphasizes that purity of heart means being free from self-seeking and seeing God's hand in every circumstance, which enables believers to obey commands like "rejoice always" and be anxious for nothing. He teaches that individual Christians are called to be salt and light in the world—not through correct doctrine alone, but through good works and holy living that reflect Christ, and that one wholehearted believer can have an impact far greater than thousands with a negative testimony.
