The speaker encourages the congregation by focusing on the memory verse, 1 John 3:22, which states that we receive what we ask because we keep God's commandments. The message emphasizes that true obedience is not about perfection, but about maintaining a right attitude—holding fast to God's word and commandments, even when difficult. Ultimately, the goal is to live with a contrite heart, trusting that God will strengthen us to do His will.

Zac Poonen · Oct 25, 2021 · 48m
The speaker discusses the importance of setting a good example in marriage, particularly for raising children, as children learn primarily through observation. He emphasizes that parents must be strict and teach obedience and respect from an early age, noting that good parenting habits are more crucial than religious affiliation. The message concludes by citing Proverbs 22:6, stressing that parents must actively train their children in the right way, as this is a law like gravity.

A Healthy Husband-Wife Relationship -- Zac Poonen -- October 24, 2021
Zac Poonen · Oct 25, 2021 · 1h 11m
The central message emphasizes that true Christian life goes beyond merely confessing sins (1 John 1:9) to actively walking in the manner of Jesus (1 John 2:6). The speaker warns that many believers are more concerned with avoiding physical death than spiritual death, comparing this lack of vigilance to a failure to learn basic life skills. Ultimately, he stresses that the foundation of the Christian life must be built on prioritizing Christ above all worldly concerns, as exemplified by Jesus' prayer for His devoted disciples.

24th October 2021 - CFC Sunday Church Service | The Most Important Commandment of God - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Oct 24, 2021 · 1h 31m
The central message revolves around identifying the most important commandment, which Jesus taught is to love the Lord God with all one's heart, soul, and mind. The speaker emphasizes that Christian life requires setting God's kingdom and love as the absolute first priority, which should guide all other aspects of life, including church attendance. He cautions that merely attending for sermons is insufficient, as Jesus came for fellowship and building up the local church body.

The message emphasizes the absolute importance of willingly submitting to the authorities God has placed over us, clarifying that submission is not slavery but an act of faith for our own good and edification. The speaker draws parallels to family life, noting that submitting to appointed leadership ensures things will go well for the believer. The core message is rooted in accepting God's appointed order for our benefit.

Jeremy Utley - Three Weapons to Fight Weariness
Jeremy Utley · Oct 17, 2021 · 12m
The central message is how to combat weariness by focusing on three key actions: praying at all times, considering the suffering and sacrifice of Jesus, and ultimately coming into relationship with Him. The speaker emphasizes that true strength comes not from finding answers or solutions, but from drawing near to Christ, which requires laying aside the 'cloak' of discouragement or perceived burdens.

The message emphasizes that submitting to authority, even when difficult or misunderstood, is a fruit of faith. True faith means having confidence that God has our best interests at heart, regardless of the immediate circumstances or the authority figure's intentions. This principle of submission is illustrated through examples like the widow's sacrificial giving and David's obedience, all pointing to trusting God's ultimate care.

Qualities of a Godly Elder -- Zac Poonen -- October 10, 2021
Zac Poonen · Oct 11, 2021 · 21m
The speaker emphasizes that the New Covenant church is defined by living under Jesus Christ through the Bible, not by following old covenant practices or the teachings of men. He stresses that the church is the people, not a building, and that leadership in the New Covenant is communal, requiring multiple appointed elders rather than a single pastor. The qualifications for an elder include having a good testimony, being a man of one wife, and having children who love the Lord.

A Higher Calling For Our Children - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Oct 11, 2021 · 6m
The speaker contrasts the earthly focus of the 'old covenant' with the heavenly focus of the 'new covenant' church. He uses the examples of John the Baptist and the promise to Zacharias to illustrate that true greatness is measured by the Lord, not by worldly success or recognition. Therefore, parents should pray that their children desire to be great in the sight of the Lord rather than being great in the eyes of the world.

Don't Give to God That Which Costs You Nothing - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Oct 11, 2021 · 1h 1m
The sermon warns believers against giving God what costs them nothing, drawing parallels from Malachi's critique of Israel's poor offerings. The speaker cautions that Christians must avoid a laid-back attitude, believing that mere acceptance of Christ negates the need for costly devotion. True worship requires giving the best, as God rejects cheap or worthless sacrifices.

The Absolute Importance of Submission to Authority -- Zac Poonen -- October 10, 2021
Zac Poonen · Oct 11, 2021 · 56m
The speaker discusses two core principles governing the universe: sacrifice and submission to authority. He emphasizes that true sacrifice, like that of Christ, must cost something, and that the most perfect life, exemplified by Jesus, was one of complete submission to the Father's will, regardless of convenience. This principle requires believers to continually yield their own will to God's will in every area of life.

The message warns against giving God things that cost nothing, drawing parallels to the Israelites' complacency described in Malachi. The speaker cautions against a false sense of security after accepting Christ, emphasizing that simply believing is insufficient. True devotion requires a willingness to offer God what is costly, mirroring the faith of Abraham and David.

Will You Be Ready at the Moment When Jesus Comes? -- Santosh Poonen -- October 6, 2021
Santosh Poonen · Oct 7, 2021 · 52m
The sermon uses the story of Jesus finding a fig tree with only leaves, no fruit, to challenge the congregation about their spiritual readiness. The central message is that when Jesus returns, he will look for tangible fruit in our lives, not just outward religious appearances. Believers must live in constant readiness, anticipating His unexpected return.

Jeremy Utley - How God Works In The One Who Fails
Jeremy Utley · Oct 4, 2021 · 23m
The sermon uses Peter's repeated failures in the Garden of Gethsemane to illustrate how God works with imperfect people. Jesus repeatedly brings Peter into situations where he fails, first by asking him to keep watch, and later by finding him asleep again. The central message is that God's purpose in our lives is to lead us into circumstances that reveal our own inability, stripping away our self-reliance and insistence on our own ability, leaving us speechless and dependent on Him.

Zac Poonen · Oct 3, 2021 · 1h 28m
The message encourages believers not to let past failures discourage them, drawing parallels between parental disappointment and God's desire for spiritual maturity. The core message is to press on toward perfection, maintaining the standard of faith already attained, rather than dwelling on past shortcomings.

The service focused heavily on worship, proclaiming Jesus' exaltation and reign.

Foolishness Destroys a Church -- Santosh Poonen -- September 29, 2021
Santosh Poonen · Sep 30, 2021 · 1h 6m
The speaker argues that the greatest danger to the church is not overt wickedness, but rather 'foolishness,' which he identifies as 'soulishness.' This foolishness manifests as misplaced priorities, such as caring more for earthly planning and possessions than for eternity. He emphasizes that true wisdom involves prioritizing the soul and eternal matters over worldly concerns.

The sermon uses Malachi's critique of Israel's poor offerings to warn Christians against giving God what costs them nothing. The speaker argues that accepting Christ and making small, easy offerings can lead to a dangerous complacency, suggesting that true devotion requires giving sacrifices that represent a genuine cost or sacrifice.

The sermon emphasizes that a balanced Christian life requires meditating on God's word day and night, allowing the teachings to take deep root. True understanding of the 'glory of God' involves balancing grace and truth, as seen in the relationship between kindness and severity. This balance must be reflected in personal life, parenting, and church leadership to prevent decline.
