A collection of New Covenant teaching, gathered from publicly available YouTube sermons by Zac Poonen and related CFC messages.
The speaker contrasts the Old and New Covenants, emphasizing that while the Old Testament is instructive, the New Covenant through Christ is superior because the Holy Spirit dwells within believers. He advises that instead of focusing on the sin of others, a true New Covenant believer should focus on confessing and seeking deliverance from their own sin, particularly concerning their own deceitful tongue and hypocrisy.

The speaker emphasizes that claiming to be a 'new covenant church' requires understanding its core implication: the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, which was unprecedented under the old covenant. He warns against counterfeits, such as those taught in some charismatic circles, and stresses that true assurance of salvation and the Spirit's work must come from a personal, undeniable witness from God. Furthermore, he distinguishes between the initial filling, continuous experience, and the lifelong process of growing into Christ's likeness, urging leaders to maintain a constant dependence on God.
