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.

Zac Poonen - The Blessing of Submitting to Authority
Zac Poonen · Jul 27, 2026 · 26m
The central message is that following God's plan and submitting to proper authority leads to blessings in all areas of life. The speaker uses examples from scripture—such as honoring parents, obeying masters, and Jesus' own submission—to illustrate that true success comes from humility and obedience rather than self-will. He concludes by urging the audience to live lives pleasing to God.

Zac Poonen - Being Broken and Poured Out
Zac Poonen · Jul 13, 2026 · 7m
The central message is that Christians must strive to be a constant reflection of Jesus by being willing to be broken and poured out for others daily, not just during formal communion. The speaker emphasizes examining oneself to see if one has resisted yielding their will or emptying themselves before the Lord. Ultimately, true discipleship requires embracing the way of the cross in every aspect of life.

Zac Poonen - Living in the Light of Your Conscience
Zac Poonen · Jul 6, 2026 · 27m
The central message is that Christians must strive to be an exact reflection of Jesus Christ by growing in purity both personally and corporately. The speaker emphasizes that true discipleship requires a passion for Christ Himself rather than merely focusing on heavenly rewards or worldly comforts. He warns against minimizing sin, noting that God judges us according to the level of our conscience, defining sin as knowing what is right but failing to do it.

Elias Berhe - The Trials That Make Us
Elias Berhe · Jun 30, 2026 · 5m
The speaker reflects on how personal trials have shaped his relationship with God, noting that these difficult experiences have changed him for the better, much like Moab's aroma was preserved through time. He draws parallels to Jacob's life, emphasizing that being broken by God is necessary for a turnaround and continuous reliance on Him. Ultimately, he concludes that enduring hardship leads to dependence on God and a renewed desire to serve Him.

Santhosh Selvaraj - Faithful Within the Fences
Santhosh Selvaraj · Jun 30, 2026 · 5m
True spiritual character is built not during overwhelming moments, but through faithful integrity in the smallest, most repetitive daily tasks. The speaker emphasizes that God observes our faithfulness within our normal boundaries—work, family life, and routine rituals. By treating every ordinary task as an offering to God, we can transform our daily routines into acts of worship.

Senthil Thangaraj - Being a Light in Ordinary Places
Senthil Thangaraj · Jun 30, 2026 · 5m
The message emphasizes that Christians are called to reflect Jesus by shining His light in ordinary places, requiring simple obedience rather than grand gestures. The speaker shares three personal examples: quietly sharing scripture at work, ministering to a colleague suffering from demonic torment, and recognizing when 'being light' means lovingly stepping back for spiritual protection. Ultimately, the core message is that we must let Jesus shine through us wherever He places us.

Zac Poonen - Judge Yourself and You Will Not Be Judged (Breaking of Bread)
Zac Poonen · Jun 15, 2026 · 7m
The central message encourages believers to approach fellowship, especially at the Lord's table, with an earnest desire for connection rather than a critical or judging spirit. The speaker draws parallels from Jesus' example and Paul's warning regarding judgment on the final day, advising that we should focus on praying for others instead of forming negative opinions about them. Ultimately, the goal is to achieve a state where there will be no judgment against us.

Zac Poonen - The Balance of Strictness and Compassion in God’s Prophets
Zac Poonen · Jun 15, 2026 · 8m
God's method of dealing with sin requires a balance between stern rebuke and compassionate encouragement, mirroring the combination of grace and truth seen in Jesus Christ. The speaker illustrates this using Old Testament pairs like Ezra (weeping over sin) and Nehemiah (publicly confronting sin), as well as Paul and Barnabas. For the church to function correctly, it must embody both ministries—the gentle encouragement and the necessary confrontation against compromise.

Jeremy Utley - Compromise Kills Christian Progress
Jeremy Utley · Jun 15, 2026 · 29m
The central message warns that compromise actively hinders spiritual progress, growth, and God's work in both the church and personal life. Drawing from Ezra, the speaker argues that when people mix with the world or fail to uphold pure standards, all momentum stops, illustrating that moral authority is lost through compromise. To maintain a righteous standard, one must remain uncompromised.

Zac Poonen · Jun 10, 2026 · 32m
The speaker addresses questions regarding raising children in the fear of the Lord, emphasizing that discipline and love must be balanced, not following a literal ratio. He stresses teaching children to respect God's Word and all appointed authorities, using examples from scripture. For practical teaching, he suggests using visual resources like comic strip Bibles and engaging the children by challenging them to find answers within the stories.

NCCF Conference 2026 - The Humble Love Little Commands - Jeremy Utley
Jeremy Utley · Jun 10, 2026 · 15m
The speaker emphasizes that to build the church in humility and holiness, one must take the smallest teachings and commands seriously, drawing parallels from Matthew 18. He argues that just as the shepherd rejoices over one lost sheep, believers must diligently care for every 'little command' from God, lest they neglect something small that is actually vital to their spiritual life.

Zac Poonen · Jun 9, 2026 · 49m
The speaker outlines several key truths learned in his Christian walk, emphasizing that God desires believers to be reflections of Jesus through holiness and humility. Key points include maintaining physical fitness for service, embracing honesty, giving cheerfully, drawing holiness from looking unto Jesus, living by the cross, trusting in divine protection against harm, recognizing God's perfect plan for good works, and always reading scripture within its full context.

NCCF Conference 2026 - Sixteen Lessons I Have Learnt (Part 1) - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jun 9, 2026 · 55m
The speaker shares key lessons learned in his Christian walk, emphasizing that while John 3:16 is vital for the world, John 17:23 is paramount for believers. This verse teaches that a disciple's life must visibly demonstrate to the world that the Father loves them as much as He loved Jesus. This understanding brings profound rest, freedom from anxiety, and assurance in God's care.

NCCF Conference 2026 - In God’s Plan, By God’s Power, and For God’s Glory - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jun 9, 2026 · 53m
The speaker emphasizes the profound responsibility of sharing God's word, warning against speaking as if God directly commanded it when it was not the case. He then draws from 1 Corinthians 3 to teach that every aspect of life—how time and money are spent—is building upon the foundation of Christ. True spiritual growth is measured not by outward numbers, but by victory over sin and the depth of conviction within the church.

NCCF Conference 2026 - Knowing the Cost of Discipleship - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jun 9, 2026 · 58m
The speaker emphasizes that a stable Christian life requires both holiness and humility. He argues that much of modern Christianity presents an incomplete picture of Christ because essential elements of the gospel are omitted. True discipleship, according to the Great Commission, requires not only belief and baptism but also actively teaching others to obey everything Jesus commanded, and crucially, preaching repentance alongside belief.

NCCF CONFERENCE 2026
Zac Poonen · Jun 8, 2026 · 40m
The central message is that the church must reflect Jesus by pursuing holiness individually and functioning corporately. This transformation requires believers to daily offer their bodies as living, holy sacrifices, resisting conformity to the world. The ultimate goal is a renewal into the image of Christ, which is best demonstrated through humility and service, even amidst trials.

Sunil Poonen - A Disciple Must Overflow to Others
Sunil Poonen · Jun 1, 2026 · 8m
A true disciple must not only listen to the Word but must also be equipped to overflow that Word to sustain others. The message uses examples from the Bible, such as the disciples ministering from a place of rest, to illustrate that ministry flows when we are replenished by Christ. Ultimately, being pressed down and shaken together by trials is the necessary prerequisite for overflowing with God's provision to others.

Jeremy Utley - God’s Goal Isn’t Efficiency
Jeremy Utley · May 25, 2026 · 10m
God's ultimate goal for believers is not efficiency or comfort, but rather to become an exact reflection of Jesus Christ. The speaker uses the example of Nehemiah rebuilding the walls, where the necessary opposition and divided labor were crucial for the people to develop the skills needed to defend the city. Therefore, believers should embrace trials and difficulties, understanding that these 'storms' are God's way of preparing them to be equipped warriors, not just worriers.

Sunil Poonen - A Mother’s Heart: Reflecting the Heart of God
Sunil Poonen · May 11, 2026 · 34m
Sunil Poonen teaches that Christians should reflect Jesus's heart, using the example of a mother's love as revealed in Scripture. He explores how God demonstrates maternal love toward His people—constant remembrance, comfort, and redemptive care—and calls believers to embody this same compassionate, building love within their families and church communities.

Zac Poonen · May 11, 2026 · 4m 38s
Zac Poonen teaches mothers that the three greatest dangers children face are worldly honor, money, and sinful pleasure, using Moses' mother as an example of how parental instruction in the formative years can equip children to reject these temptations throughout their lives. He emphasizes that mothers have a critical window in a child's early years to instill godly values that will protect them decades later when they encounter worldly allures.

Zac Poonen - Broken and Poured Out
Zac Poonen · May 4, 2026 · 7m
Breaking bread and drinking the cup is a solemn covenant to be broken—surrendering our self-centered nature—and poured out in service to others, exactly opposite to how the world operates. This means accepting humiliation without defensiveness, trusting God's promise that all things work for our good, and living the way of the cross that Jesus modeled by taking punishment he never deserved.
