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.

NCCF Conference 2026 - Don’t Miss The Conference While You’re Here - Jeremy Utley
Jeremy Utley · Jun 9, 2026 · 8m
The central message is to prioritize deep, undistracted devotion to Jesus over being overwhelmed by busyness and responsibilities. Drawing from the story of Martha and Mary, the speaker urges the audience to emulate Mary by sitting at the Lord's feet to continually listen to His teaching. Ultimately, the goal of gathering is to meet with the Lord and hear His word, which requires seeking the power of the Holy Spirit to remain focused on devotion.

Jeremy Utley - Continuous Repentance
Jeremy Utley · May 4, 2026 · 26m
Jeremy Utley teaches that repentance must be a continuous passion in the Christian life, not merely a past event or reluctant possibility. He contrasts the people of Malachi who resisted God's call to repentance with examples of those who embraced it willingly, emphasizing that believers at all stages of faithfulness need to maintain an attitude of continuous repentance and not argue with God's conviction.
27mNCCF Church
Jeremy Utley - The Christian Must Live on Every Single One of God's Words
Jeremy Utley · Nov 18, 2024 · 27m
Jeremy Utley teaches that exemplary Christians must pursue continuous, lifetime transfer of ownership of every aspect of their lives to God, never becoming satisfied with their current spiritual state. Drawing from 2 Thessalonians 1, he emphasizes that maturity means constantly yielding more areas to God's control and responding to His call to grow higher, modeling Jesus Christ who perfectly exemplified complete submission to the Father in all thoughts, words, and deeds.

Jeremy Utley - The True Meaning of "This Little Light of Mine"
Jeremy Utley · Jul 29, 2024 · 29m
Jeremy Utley explains that "This Little Light of Mine" refers not to personal testimony or evangelism, but to one's conscience illuminated by the Holy Spirit. The song's true meaning is an invitation to allow the Holy Spirit complete access to examine every area of our lives—to not hide anything from God's searching light. When we refuse to hide our lives "under a bushel" from the Holy Spirit's scrutiny, we become wholly illumined and radiant with God's light.

Jeremy Utley - Resolutions: A Dangerous Detour from the Highway of Holiness
Jeremy Utley · Jul 3, 2023 · 29m
The speaker argues that the tendency to make personal resolutions is a persistent trap of the flesh, often leading us away from the New Covenant life. He contrasts this with the biblical call to simply choose to serve the Lord, pointing out that resolutions reveal an inability to rely on God's power. True spiritual life requires dependence on God rather than self-made plans or sheer human effort.
23mNCCF Church
Jeremy Utley - Take God’s Discipline Seriously
Jeremy Utley · May 22, 2023 · 23m
The sermon focuses on Hebrews 12, urging believers not to regard God's discipline lightly nor to faint when reproved. The speaker emphasizes that discipline, which often appears sorrowful, is actually for our good, ultimately leading us to share in God's holiness. Believers must actively guard against both the temptation to dismiss hardship as 'no big deal' and the danger of despair, striving instead to be faithful through difficult times.
25mNCCF Church
Jeremy Utley - 2023: 330 Days Of Salvation
Jeremy Utley · Feb 6, 2023 · 25m
The central message is that every day should be viewed as the 'day of salvation,' which means recognizing it as an opportunity to be saved from sin through the Holy Spirit's work. The speaker uses the analogy of a sign changing a hike from a 'boring trail' to 'enchanted springs' to illustrate how the title we give our day impacts our attitude. He encourages the audience to view the Lord's patience in returning as an opportunity to experience more of salvation.
23mNCCF Church
Jeremy Utley - Discerning Spiritual Drowsiness
Jeremy Utley · Dec 5, 2022 · 23m
The central message is the necessity of discerning whether one's actions, particularly speaking, are motivated by pleasing God or by seeking approval from people. The speaker emphasizes that true spiritual life requires perfecting holiness in the fear of God, contrasting this with the danger of living in the fear of man. He warns against spiritual slumber, even when one has a good reputation, urging listeners to examine their motives and return to God.
25mNCCF Church
Jeremy Utley - True Spiritual Worship
Jeremy Utley · Oct 10, 2022 · 25m
True spiritual worship is defined by presenting one's entire body as a living and holy sacrifice to God, which involves more than just singing well. It fundamentally means denying one's own will and saying 'no' to what the flesh desires, while also saying 'yes' to what God appoints or allows. Ultimately, this requires complete surrender, accepting God's will without reservation or condition.
14mNCCF Church
Jeremy Utley - Take the Fight for Peace Seriously
Jeremy Utley · Mar 23, 2022 · 14m
The central message is that believers must take the pursuit and evidence of peace very seriously, as it is deeply connected to sanctification. True peace, characterized by the rule of Christ's peace in the heart, is the evidence of cleansing and repentance. When peace is absent, it signals a need to confess sin and seek forgiveness, recognizing that the peace of Christ must rule the heart before one can properly respond to life's disturbances.
22mNCCF Church
Jeremy Utley - A Promise Better Than God’s Love
Jeremy Utley · Jan 18, 2022 · 22m
The speaker argues that while God's love is foundational, it is insufficient to achieve God's ultimate purpose. He posits that God's pleasure is superior to God's love, citing instances like Jesus' baptism and the Transfiguration where the Father declared, "This is my beloved Son; I am happy with him." The central message is that Christians should strive not only to know that God loves them but to live lives that bring Him pleasure.
15mNCCF Church
Jeremy Utley - The Mountain Top Won't Vaccinate the Flesh
Jeremy Utley · Mar 24, 2021 · 15m
The central message warns against relying on 'mountaintop experiences' or special spiritual moments as a substitute for consistent holiness and vigilance against the flesh. Using examples from Nadab and Abihu, the Last Supper, and the disciples' failure, the speaker emphasizes that believers must maintain a warrior's mindset and remain continually accountable to God, even after profound spiritual encounters.
12mNCCF Church
Jeremy Utley - The Most Important Command
Jeremy Utley · Mar 10, 2021 · 12m
The central message is that true discipleship requires more than just believing or studying scripture; it demands actively obeying the specific word or command God is giving at the present moment. The speaker uses analogies like the uphill marathon and the manna to illustrate that hoarding knowledge without immediate obedience will ultimately spoil, emphasizing that the most important command is to heed the Lord's next step.
17mNCCF Church
Jeremy Utley - The Shelter in Place Disciple Development Program
Jeremy Utley · Feb 3, 2021 · 17m
The central message is that true worship in spirit means striving to be pleasing to God, which is exemplified by Jesus' life before his ministry. The speaker argues that the current circumstances, like being 'shelter in place,' should not be seen as a hindrance but rather as a divine 'disciple development program.' This period offers a unique opportunity for believers to learn how to seek God's pleasure privately, mirroring how Jesus learned to please the Father before His public ministry.
19mNCCF Church
Jeremy Utley - Continue Beholding God's Kindness
Jeremy Utley · Jan 27, 2021 · 19m
The central message is the necessity of continuously beholding God's kindness, rather than focusing only on His severity or judgment. The speaker contrasts the outcomes of Judas (who saw God as a hard master) and Peter (who saw the look of love) after their respective failures. He urges the audience to emulate the gardener in the parable, choosing to give grace and another year of nurturing rather than immediate judgment, applying this to relationships with backsliders and family.
15mNCCF Church
Jeremy Utley - Remove All Merchandise From the Temple of the Heart
Jeremy Utley · Nov 11, 2020 · 15m
The central message is that Christians must guard against an 'inward merchandise'—the pursuit of human honor, recognition, and appreciation—which can prevent true, wholehearted love for God. Drawing parallels from Jesus cleansing the temple, the speaker argues that outward piety is insufficient; one must actively guard against valuing human approval over divine devotion. The goal is to seek only the glory of God, lest one become a spiritual swindler.
32mNCCF Church
Jeremy Utley - A Caretaker of the Vineyards
Jeremy Utley · Sep 7, 2020 · 32m
The Lord builds the church, but He equips it through every individual member functioning properly, like the joints of a body. The speaker warns against neglecting one's personal spiritual life—one's 'own vineyard'—while focusing on ministry or serving others. To care for one's own vineyard, one must examine the fruit of love, the soil of humility, and other aspects of personal devotion.
9mNCCF Church
Jeremy Utley - Take Heart When The Lord Reproves You
Jeremy Utley · Sep 1, 2020 · 9m
The sermon encourages the listener to embrace divine reproof and discipline, drawing parallels from Peter's rebuke and subsequent restoration after the Transfiguration. The central message is that God disciplines believers out of love, not anger, with the ultimate goal of helping them bear more fruit and achieve holiness. Enduring this discipline, rather than fainting, is key to spiritual growth and healing.
37mNCCF Church
Jeremy Utley - Becoming True Worshipers
Jeremy Utley · Jul 24, 2020 · 37m
True worship is not merely singing or being moved by music, but rather presenting one's entire body as a living and holy sacrifice to God. Drawing from John 4 and Romans 12, the message emphasizes that true worship is demonstrated by living in spirit and truth, especially during times of temptation or undesirable circumstances. The speaker urges the audience to continually renew their minds and offer their lives to God without hesitation, like providing a lamb morning by morning.
16mNCCF Church
Jeremy Utley - Completely Cooperate with God’s Smelting
Jeremy Utley · May 27, 2020 · 16m
The central message is that Christians must undergo a thorough refining process, likened to silver being purified by a smelter, to become a reflection of Jesus. This purification involves passing through trials, symbolized by water and fire, which God uses to remove impurities. This process is not quick and requires God's consistent, faithful work to yield a pure life capable of offering righteousness to the Lord.

Jeremy Utley - God Will Make Us a Bride Worth Waiting For
Jeremy Utley · Mar 21, 2020 · 5m
The central message is that Christians are being prepared by God to be a delight to Him, mirroring Jesus's own experience. This preparation involves personal purity and corporate church function, as God is refining believers to present a bride worthy of His joy. Ultimately, the speaker emphasizes that our identity and worth must be derived solely from what God says about us, not from any other source.
17mNCCF Church
Jeremy Utley - Destroy Lust Or Lust Will Destroy You
Jeremy Utley · Jul 18, 2018 · 17m
The speaker warns that Christians must actively fight lust, as it has the power to destroy a person's life, regardless of past spiritual experiences. He uses the life of Solomon as a cautionary tale, showing that even immense wisdom and glory cannot protect one from falling into sin. The central message is that believers must fight this battle daily until the end.
17mNCCF Church
Jeremy Utley - A Heart Like Hanani
Jeremy Utley · Oct 12, 2017 · 17m
The speaker draws parallels between Nehemiah's zeal and the need for a higher perspective, arguing that true success is measured against God's ultimate plan rather than current improvements. He emphasizes that the goal for Christians is to be holy, citing 1 Peter 1:16, and stresses that this command to be holy is underpinned by the promise that God will make us holy because He is holy.
11mNCCF Church
Jeremy Utley - Stop Being "Real"
Jeremy Utley · Oct 2, 2017 · 11m
The central message is that Christians are called to reflect Jesus, which requires a standard higher than mere honesty or 'being real.' The speaker argues that simply stating what one feels, even if true, can be unhelpful or unedifying to others. Instead, speech must be seasoned with grace, building up the listener, and even our thoughts must be guarded, taking every thought captive to the obedience of Christ.
