12th June 2022 - CFC Sunday Church Service | Baptism And Freedom From Sin - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jun 12, 2022 · 1h 12m
The message centers on baptism as a profound symbol of death, burial, and resurrection in Christ. It proclaims that through this ordinance, believers declare to the world and spiritual powers that they no longer belong to sin or Satan, but are purchased, washed, and cleansed by the Lord Jesus Christ. The speaker urges the congregation to remember God's past faithfulness and commit to living in a new life according to the truth of God's word.

The sermon emphasizes that true faith does not require us to 'increase' it, but rather grows from seeing God more clearly and hearing His voice. The core message is that faith is found in looking to God alone, trusting His promises even when things seem impossible. The speaker encourages the congregation to commit their lives to God's purpose, asking for a deeper filling of the Holy Spirit to live as bold witnesses.

The message emphasizes trusting God's superior plan for our lives, citing Jeremiah 29:11 to assure that God's plans are for our welfare and future hope. It encourages believers to press forward in following Christ's calling, recognizing that God's ways and thoughts surpass human understanding. The core message is one of submission to God's divine will.

Olu Talabi · Jun 3, 2022 · 14m
The speaker emphasizes that God is a god of order, citing natural cycles and the structure within the church (referencing 1 Corinthians 14:33). He argues that attempting to remove established order, whether in society or the church, leads to chaos. Furthermore, he suggests that the true evidence of the Bible's truth is not merely quoting scripture, but rather experiencing the life of Jesus—demonstrating that what the Bible says is becoming more evident and true in one's own life.

The message centers on the call to be a disciple who can sustain the weary. The speaker uses analogies from scripture—the slave serving the master and the sinful woman anointing Jesus' feet—to challenge the listener's attitude. True service comes from recognizing how much one has been forgiven and how much Christ has done, leading to a willingness to serve the church body.

Zac Poonen - The Reason Why God Raised Up CFC Churches
Zac Poonen · May 31, 2022 · 43m
The speaker emphasizes that the true measure of a church is not the size of the crowd or the quality of the Sunday service, but rather the members' private lives. He argues that discipleship is demonstrated by living righteously throughout the entire week—in one's relationships, work, and finances—rather than just on Sunday. Furthermore, he cautions against accepting religious traditions or terminology (like infant baptism) based on faulty translations that prioritize avoiding conflict over accurate understanding.

Spiritual Authority in the Body of Christ -- Santosh Poonen -- May 29, 2022
Santosh Poonen · May 30, 2022 · 1h 9m
The central message is that believers must move beyond being passive Christians and actively participate as members of the living Body of Christ. The speaker emphasizes that being a disciple involves having a tongue controlled by the Holy Spirit, which equips one to speak God's word to others. He urges the congregation to use their gifts and relationships to minister to others, recognizing that every member has a responsibility to be a witness.

The New Covenant And The Kingdom Of God – Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · May 26, 2022 · 38m
The speaker contrasts the Old Covenant with the New Covenant, emphasizing that the latter, established through Christ's blood, is for the church and requires a higher standard of righteousness. He uses examples like anger (equated to murder in the old covenant) and lust (equated to adultery in the new covenant) to illustrate this elevated standard. Ultimately, he urges believers toward continuous spiritual growth, warning against spiritual stagnation despite outward religious activity.

Jeremy Utley - A Blameless Conscience Despite Different Convictions In The Body
Jeremy Utley · May 23, 2022 · 22m
The sermon addresses how Christians should navigate disagreements in conviction within the body of Christ. While the ultimate goal is to reflect Jesus Christ, differences in conscience are inevitable. When one's convictions are stronger than another's, the speaker advises living according to the conviction the Lord has given, even if it means appearing 'weak' in comparison. The core message emphasizes maintaining personal conviction rather than conforming to the perceived strength of others.

Do Whatever the Lord Tells You to Do (Message to Women) -- Annie Poonen -- May 18, 2022
Annie Poonen · May 19, 2022 · 44m
The message draws inspiration from the wedding at Cana, emphasizing that when life presents a need or weakness, the best response is to turn to Jesus and ask Him to meet that need. The speaker encourages listeners to apply God's word spiritually, obeying what the Holy Spirit directs, and uses Moses' life as an example of how God uses periods of 'wilderness'—whether through difficulty, loss of status, or challenge—to break down self-confidence and refocus reliance solely on Him.

Jeremy Utley - Am I Looking for Christ's Return?
Jeremy Utley · May 18, 2022 · 13m
The central message is that Christians should live in a way that reflects an anticipation of Christ's return, as if it were imminent. The speaker urges listeners to examine their hearts to see if they are truly 'looking for' the Lord's return, suggesting that this focus should change how they approach every single day, viewing each day as a day of salvation. Proof of this readiness includes a desire to live for Christ today and being willing to shed worldly attachments, like Bartimaeus.

The central message is that Christians must strive to reflect Jesus Christ in all aspects of life, both individually and corporately. The speaker emphasizes that the true path is found by following Jesus, who declares, "I am the way, the truth, and the life." To discern the right path amidst conflicting voices, one must constantly reference Scripture and consider how Jesus would react in any given situation.

The message centers on John 6:27, urging believers to work for the food that endures to eternal life, which is Jesus Christ. The speaker clarifies that 'work' here means more than just ministry; it fundamentally means to believe in Jesus—a belief that goes beyond mere intellectual knowledge. True belief must permeate and change one's daily life, reflecting a deep trust in God's love.

Zac Poonen - God’s Nature Is Manifested In Mothers
Zac Poonen · May 9, 2022 · 30m
The speaker addresses serious disciples, emphasizing that God's nature—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—is best understood through the nurturing, never-forgetting care of a mother. He uses biblical examples, such as God's promise to never forget, and Jesus comparing himself to a mother hen protecting her chicks, to illustrate this point. The message encourages believers to remember this maternal aspect of God's care, especially when facing temptation or failure.

Test Yourselves to See if You Are Spiritual — Santosh Poonen — May 8, 2022
Santosh Poonen · May 9, 2022 · 1h 0m
The speaker encourages the congregation, particularly the women, to emulate the quiet faithfulness and service seen in the home, contrasting this with the world's desire for visible greatness. He warns against mere religiosity—outward adherence to Christian practices without internal power—and urges the listeners to self-examine to ensure their spirituality is genuine and rooted in Christ's cross, rather than avoiding self-denial.

Walking with Jesus without Religiosity -- Olu Talabi -- May 1, 2022
Olu Talabi · May 6, 2022 · 7m
The central message is that mere religious observance is insufficient; true devotion requires a supreme love for Jesus Christ. The speaker draws parallels from the Ephesian church, the rich young ruler, and 1 John, emphasizing that one can perform many good deeds yet still lack true love for God. Ultimately, loving God supremely and keeping His commandments is presented as the highest calling.

God’s Standard for Us Today is Far Higher Than Under the Old Covenant — Zac Poonen — May 4, 2022
Zac Poonen · May 5, 2022 · 1h 1m
The speaker contrasts the Old and New Covenants, emphasizing that the New Covenant requires lived experience rather than mere understanding or proclamation. He argues that if a truth is only known intellectually and not lived out in daily reality, one is still operating under the limitations of the Old Covenant. True discipleship requires ruthless honesty, acknowledging areas where one is not yet at the standard of the Word made flesh, and demonstrating continuous progress in one's walk with God.

Zac Poonen - God Tests Us Before He Can Use Us
Zac Poonen · May 2, 2022 · 27m
God uses testing periods to prepare believers for ministry within the body of Christ, much like Moses was prepared for years in the wilderness. Every member of the church, regardless of perceived usefulness, has a function from the Holy Spirit for the good of the whole body. Believers must take these testings seriously, as they are God's way of equipping them for their divine purpose.

Bobby McDonald - Be Restful Like Jesus
Bobby McDonald · May 2, 2022 · 20m
The central message is that true Christian rest is found in complete surrender to God's will, mirroring Jesus's peace even amidst chaos. The speaker emphasizes that this rest is not passive but is achieved through endurance, deep intimacy with Christ, and letting go of personal control. This surrendered state is characterized by a loose grip on life's outcomes, trusting entirely in God's perfect plan.

"Come and Die" - The Call to Freedom from Religiosity — Santosh Poonen — May 1, 2022
Santosh Poonen · May 2, 2022 · 55m
The speaker warns against the danger of becoming merely religious rather than truly spiritual, emphasizing that true faith is not based on external performance or adherence to rules. He uses the analogy of working for 'food that perishes' versus working for the 'food that endures to eternal life,' urging the audience to focus on eternal priorities. The message concludes by pointing to Jesus Christ as the ultimate example of unwavering faith, regardless of immediate circumstances or material provision.

Annie Poonen - What Have We Given To The Lord?
Annie Poonen · Apr 25, 2022 · 13m
The speaker uses the song 'I Gave My Life For Thee' and the life story of Francis Ridley to illustrate that giving one's life to Jesus is the ultimate offering. She emphasizes that God desires our lives and peace with Him, not material possessions. The talk highlights the importance of devotion, Bible study, and consistent prayer—including intercession for others—as ways to live a life pleasing to God.

Zac Poonen - What Parents Should Teach Their Children
Zac Poonen · Apr 25, 2022 · 6m
Parents are responsible for teaching their children to honor and obey their parents, as this is the first commandment with a promise of a long life. Since the natural tendency of children is to be rude, parents must actively correct and teach respect, just as one teaches mathematics. Furthermore, parents should bring their children to church to acknowledge that the child is a gift from God to both the family and the church community.

24th April 2022 - CFC Sunday Church Service | The Christ Life For The Self Life - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Apr 24, 2022 · 1h 17m
The message contrasts the 'self-life,' which stems from Adam and manifests sin, with the 'Christ life.' The speaker emphasizes that while the Old Covenant provided the written Word of God as a lamp, the New Covenant gives us Jesus Christ—the Word made flesh—as a living example. True transformation requires adopting the Christ life to become a better witness in the world.
