August 3 | Daily Devotion | Repentance Is The Mark Of Being Truly Born Again | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · 10m · CFC Daily Devotions
Repentance is the defining mark of a truly born-again Christian. Without genuine repentance—a turning away from sin with changed behavior—one's claim to conversion is hollow and superficial.

The message centers on Psalm 55:22, encouraging listeners to 'cast your burden upon the Lord' for His sustaining power. The speaker emphasizes that this means trusting God with everything, recognizing His sovereignty even amidst chaos, and understanding that His sustenance means enduring trials patiently. To truly be sustained, one must also strive to be righteous, particularly by maintaining a heart of love toward those who cause trouble.

The central message is that Christians must actively live out their divine nature by remembering and utilizing their dual inheritance: a secure identity in Christ and the accompanying authority. The speaker emphasizes that this inward life, which is sustained by God's promises, must be constantly maintained through prayer and faith, allowing believers to overcome daily struggles and the enemy's attacks. He concludes by urging listeners to take possession of this authority in every situation, knowing that Christ's victory over death guarantees eternal life.

CFC Messages · Jul 20, 2020 · 44m
The speaker encourages the audience to embrace the process of conviction and growth, drawing parallels between the Israelites hearing the Law and personal spiritual reflection. He emphasizes that while deep sadness over sin is natural, believers are called to rejoice because God is actively working to make them whole. The core message is to maintain a helpless dependence on God, asking daily for the wisdom and strength to know what is right and wrong, trusting that God will accomplish what concerns us through His loving-kindness.

Jeremy Utley · Jul 6, 2020 · 10m
The central message is that God initiates and sustains our spiritual journey, constantly stirring our hearts toward Him.

Annie Poonen · May 11, 2020 · 14m
The speaker draws parallels between God's tender mercy, exemplified by Jesus in approaching Jerusalem, and the care mothers give their children.

Jeremy Utley - Joining Jesus In Interceding For The Church
Jeremy Utley · Mar 26, 2020 · 13m
The central message is that Christians must balance receiving rest in Jesus Christ with actively interceding for the church until it is fully established in purity and completeness. Drawing from Isaiah 62 and Colossians 1, the speaker argues that while we are called to come to Jesus when weary, we are also commanded to take no rest in interceding for our brothers and sisters. This requires a passionate commitment to seeing the church established in Christ.

Jeremy Utley - Highly Esteeming Jesus' Help
Jeremy Utley · Dec 27, 2019 · 30m
The central message is that true greatness in the Kingdom of God is found in humility, exemplified by the willingness to ask for help like a small child. The speaker contrasts feeling helpless with actively asking for help, noting that this act of dependence is what God honors. He encourages the audience to proactively humble themselves by casting anxieties on God, comparing spiritual growth to monitoring a tachometer that signals when more divine power is needed.

Zac Poonen · Jul 22, 2019 · 37m
The sermon emphasizes the need for Christians to maintain consistency in their faith life, comparing it to having a solid grip on an object. This solid grip is built upon six elements, starting with knowing God as our loving Father in Heaven, which requires praying in the pattern taught by Jesus. Ultimately, the speaker stresses that the Father is best understood by observing Jesus, particularly His profound humility, as demonstrated when He washed the disciples' feet.

The message centers on being perpetually prepared for Jesus' second coming, drawing from Luke 21:34. The speaker advises guarding the heart against three specific dangers: a life of dissipation (wasting time and talents), spiritual drunkenness (taking sin lightly), and the worries of life (being distracted by worldly desires). True readiness requires focusing on heavenly things, maintaining vigilance, and consistently praying for strength.

The speaker emphasizes the urgency of seeking God while He is near, drawing lessons from Proverbs 1 and Isaiah 55. He warns that ignoring God's warnings leads to a point where seeking Him will be too late. The central message is that believers must actively seek and call upon the Lord *today*, not tomorrow, to avoid regret at the judgment seat of Christ. Furthermore, the speaker advises that when praise comes, one must redirect all attention to God, and when praise does not come, one must maintain a posture of readiness.

The speaker draws lessons from scripture, emphasizing that God does not despise anyone, and that our attitude toward others reflects our understanding of God's great mercy. He urges believers to pray for others with the hope that God will use them for His greater purposes, rather than just praying for their salvation.

Bobby McDonald - Three Incomplete Prayers
Bobby McDonald · Nov 14, 2018 · 21m
The speaker discusses incomplete prayers, arguing that simply crying out for help is insufficient. He emphasizes that true prayer must include thanksgiving, acknowledging God's past and future faithfulness, as taught in Philippians 4. Furthermore, he stresses the necessity of repentance, noting that praying for help without confessing sin and acknowledging God's control is incomplete and dishonors Him.

The speaker uses the account of Moses's desire to be with God rather than entering the Promised Land to illustrate that the ultimate priority for a Christian should be knowing God's face. He argues that our service or desire to share faith should stem from a deep, personal longing for God Himself, rather than from external recognition or benefit. The core message is to seek to know God above all else.

Jeremy Utley - Are Rivers Flowing From Your Innermost Being?
Jeremy Utley · Sep 18, 2018 · 19m
The central message is that the promise of rivers of living water flowing from one's innermost being requires radical honesty with God. The speaker emphasizes that one's current experience, rather than theological belief, determines the reception of God's promise. Drawing an analogy from a blind man who was honest about his incomplete sight, the speaker urges listeners to honestly confess to Jesus where they are lacking in their spiritual experience to receive the fullness of the promise.

Annie Poonen · May 15, 2018 · 41m
The speaker discusses the challenges and joys of motherhood, comparing the energy of raising children to the freedom of having grandchildren.

2. Zac Poonen - Fellowship With God Must Come First
Zac Poonen · May 14, 2018 · 1h 0m
The central message is that true Christian life must prioritize the vertical relationship with God (fellowship with God) above all else. The speaker distinguishes between mere 'friendship' within a group and genuine 'fellowship' with God, warning that focusing only on horizontal acts of service or community can be a deception if the vertical connection is neglected. Ultimately, the relationship with Jesus Christ is primary, and all other Christian activities flow from that foundation.

Jeremy Utley - Persist!
Jeremy Utley · Apr 12, 2018 · 17m
The central message is that merely appreciating God's promises is insufficient; one must actively pursue and receive what has been promised. The speaker emphasizes that the proof of truly receiving a promise is demonstrated through a persistent and bold prayer life, likened to a child who repeatedly asks until they receive what they desire. Persistence in prayer, even with a degree of 'impudence,' is necessary to fully realize God's provision.

Bobby McDonald · Apr 12, 2018 · 13m
The central message is the profound need to seek a personal revelation of God's love, which is the foundation for a changed life.

Ultimately, the message encourages viewing time in prayer and scripture not as a burden, but as a joyful, anticipated
