August 4 | Daily Devotion | The Mark Of New Covenant Blessing Is Not Wealth And Health | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · 11m · CFC Daily Devotions
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.

February 12 | Daily Devotion | God Will Make A Way Of Escape Through Grace | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Feb 11, 2025 · 10m
The central message is that God's grace is sufficient to overcome sin and endure life's trials, unlike trying to conquer sin through sheer willpower under the law. The speaker emphasizes that true strength comes from accepting God's grace, which is like the power of electricity, allowing us to run for hours where our own efforts would fail. He concludes by citing 1 Corinthians 10:13, assuring that God will never allow us to be tempted beyond what we can bear, always providing a way of escape through grace.

Zac Poonen · Feb 9, 2025 · 9m
The central message is that God's grace is sufficient for every situation, and His power is perfected in human weakness. The speaker emphasizes that true confidence comes not from self-sufficiency, but from trusting in God's grace, which requires us to allow ourselves to be broken by life's circumstances. This process of being weakened is necessary for God to manifest His power through us, as exemplified by the Apostle Paul.

Zac Poonen · Feb 8, 2025 · 12m
The sermon emphasizes that while some blessings from God are unconditional, many significant promises, including forgiveness and participation in the divine nature, are conditional. The key condition highlighted is repentance and faith, illustrated by the need to hear and follow Jesus' voice. The speaker stresses that true cleansing from sin comes from walking in God's light, which means taking full responsibility for one's own sin rather than blaming others.

February 5 | Daily Devotion | Jesus Will Save Me From All My Sins | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Feb 4, 2025 · 10m
The central message is that believers are saved from sin through the merit of Jesus Christ, not by their own efforts or adherence to law.

February 4 | Daily Devotion | Having Faith For New Covenant Promises | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Feb 4, 2025 · 13m
The speaker argues that many Christians prefer the promises of the Old Covenant—such as earthly healing and prosperity—over the greater blessings of the New Covenant. He emphasizes that the true calling of the New Covenant is to be an overcomer against sin, the world, and the flesh, rather than focusing on earthly enemies. The message concludes by urging listeners to embrace the New Covenant fully and to focus on Jesus as the author and finisher of faith.

Zac Poonen · Jan 30, 2025 · 11m
The message emphasizes that true faith requires being doers of God's word, not just hearers, comparing hearing without action to looking in a mirror and forgetting the dirt. It warns against self-deception in areas like failing to apologize for wrongs or assuming one is sinless. The speaker stresses that controlling one's tongue is a key mark of spirituality, and believers must remain humble, recognizing the constant possibility of sin.

Enduring To The End - In Faithfulness And Goodness - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jan 22, 2025 · 26m
The speaker emphasizes that God's work should be done quietly, like a negative kept in a darkroom, awaiting the time of Christ's return rather than being advertised. He encourages the audience to live faithfully in their daily roles—such as parents raising godly children—and to practice humility by giving up judgment, trusting that God is the only judge. Ultimately, the message centers on the profound truth that God loves believers as much as He loved Jesus Christ.

January 12 | Daily Devotion | Love Of Money Will Cause Spiritual Blindness | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jan 11, 2025 · 9m
The sermon warns against the spiritual blindness that can result from wealth and comfort, using the story of Balaam as a primary example. Balaam, a prophet, was tempted by money to curse Israel, but God repeatedly intervened. The speaker emphasizes that those who love money will fail to see what God wants them to see, suggesting that a heart unattached to material gain is necessary to perceive God's will.

Wisdom Is More Than Knowledge | ಜ್ಞಾನವು ತಿಳುವಳಿಕೆಗಿಂತ ಹೆಚ್ಚಿನದು | Zac Poonen | Kannada
Zac Poonen · Dec 31, 2024 · 1h 4m
The sermon emphasizes that divine wisdom is superior to mere knowledge or understanding, drawing parallels between building a house and filling it with furniture. True wisdom, exemplified by the tax collector in the parable, comes from recognizing one's spiritual poverty and relying entirely on God's grace rather than self-effort or accumulated knowledge. The speaker urges the congregation to prioritize seeking wisdom over accumulating knowledge, as pride in one's own understanding can be dangerous.

December 13 | Daily Devotion | Live According To The Laws Of God | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Dec 12, 2024 · 9m
The sermon outlines several 'laws' for Christian living, emphasizing that one's life is governed by faith, seeking God's kingdom first, and sowing rightly. Key points include that what you receive is proportional to your faith, that seeking God's kingdom (living by God's rules) ensures earthly needs are met, and that sowing to the Spirit yields eternal life while sowing to the flesh brings corruption. The overarching message is to live according to God's established laws for personal benefit.

December 06 | Daily Devotion | All Things Are Possible To Him Who Believes | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Dec 5, 2024 · 12m
The message emphasizes that God's promises are signed by Jesus' blood, but believers must affirm them by saying 'Amen,' which means 'it will be so.' The speaker draws parallels between Abraham's faith and the need for believers to trust God's power over seemingly impossible situations, such as sin or personal struggles. Ultimately, the sermon warns that unbelief is a profound sin, even more so than others, and encourages believers to approach God with the conviction that He can handle any problem.

December 03 | Daily Devotion | Do You Believe That Jesus Is Able To Do This? | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Dec 2, 2024 · 11m
The message uses the parable of the two blind men to illustrate that true faith requires believing in the full scope of God's ability, not just accepting what is immediately visible or proven by others. The speaker emphasizes that faith is not merely having a desire, but believing that God can accomplish what seems impossible, drawing parallels to Abraham's faith in being called a 'father of a multitude' before having any children. Ultimately, the message calls the listener to confess their inability to conquer sin on their own and to trust God's power to transform their mind and way of thinking.

December 02 | Daily Devotion | Gold, Silver, And Precious Stones Or Wood, Hay, And Straw |Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Dec 1, 2024 · 9m
The central message is that while salvation is secured by faith in Christ, the quality of one's life's work—not its quantity—will be tested by the fire of Christ's return. Just as wood, hay, and straw burn to ashes, works done apart from Christ will prove worthless, whereas works built on Christ will endure. Believers must live daily to please the Father, focusing on genuine devotion rather than worldly approval or impressive achievements.

Zac Poonen · Nov 28, 2024 · 57m

How To Love God With All Our Heart | ಪೂರ್ಣ ಹೃದಯದಿಂದ ದೇವರನ್ನು ಹೇಗೆ ಪ್ರೀತಿಸುವುದು? | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Nov 27, 2024 · 55m
The sermon emphasizes that true devotion to God stems from loving Him with all your heart, which is the primary condition for receiving God's promises. The speaker cautions against following religious rules or commandments for wrong reasons, such as to avoid sin or gain worldly blessings, arguing that such adherence keeps one under the law rather than in the New Covenant. Instead, the focus must be on the *reason* for obedience, which should be love for the Lord.
