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.

Arnaldo Brasil - Who Is Influencing Me?

Arnaldo Brasil · Jun 30, 2026 · 6m

The central message is distinguishing between worldly 'information' and divine 'wisdom,' arguing that information from the world (like social media or AI) is misleading, whereas wisdom comes only from the Lord. Furthermore, true spiritual progress involves recognizing one's constant need for God's strength, rather than feeling self-sufficient.

NCCF Conference 2026 - Q&A Session (Part 2) - Zac Poonen

Zac Poonen · Jun 10, 2026 · 1h 15m

The central message is that Christians must maintain a correct understanding of God as a loving, compassionate Father, countering the devil's tendency to portray Him as a strict punisher. This understanding is crucial for spiritual growth, as it allows believers to accept discipline as an act of love. Furthermore, the speaker advises believers to emulate God's patience by refraining from quick judgment of others.

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.

NCCF Conference 2026 - The Root of Humility Will Bear the Fruit of Holiness - Sunil Poonen

Sunil Poonen · Jun 9, 2026 · 7m

The central message is that true spiritual growth requires cultivating humility, which acts as the root for bearing the fruit of holiness. This process involves dying to self, much like a grain of wheat falling into the earth, allowing God to use us. Ultimately, the church must be filled with the Holy Spirit to build itself into a blameless and holy body.

Zac Poonen · Jun 8, 2026 · 1h 49m

The message emphasizes that building the church requires both holiness and humility, achieved by taking even the smallest commands from God seriously. The speaker urges the congregation to avoid spiritual complacency, comparing the attitude of the 'big kid' who thinks they can do everything versus the 'little kid' who humbly admits need. True spiritual progress requires repentance and a continuous desire to obey God's small directives.

Zac Poonen - Living and Growing in the Fear of God

Zac Poonen · Jun 1, 2026 · 38m

The central message emphasizes that the fear of the Lord, or reverence for God, is the foundation of all wisdom, drawing from Proverbs 9:10. The speaker stresses that this reverence must be taught to children from a young age, paralleling the importance of foundational education. He warns that skipping this foundational teaching and jumping directly to the doctrine of grace leads to a misunderstanding of God's standards, resulting in spiritual laxity and a lack of respect for authority.

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.

Zac Poonen - Be Willing to Change Your Opinion About People

Zac Poonen · Mar 10, 2026 · 12m

Jesus commended Nathaniel despite his prejudices because Nathaniel possessed genuine honesty without pretense or hypocrisy. The sermon teaches Christians to be willing to change their opinions about people when confronted with truth, balancing discernment with humility, and to see others as Jesus sees them rather than through the lens of prejudice or preconceived notions.

Zac Poonen - Sermon on the Mount - 17

Zac Poonen · Mar 9, 2026 · 27m

Zac Poonen teaches on the ninth wrong attitude in Jesus' Sermon on the Mount: the sin of judging others. He emphasizes that while Christians may hold opinions about people within their sphere of responsibility, condemning others invites God's judgment upon ourselves. The antidote is rigorous self-judgment: by examining ourselves according to God's standards, we escape condemnation on the final day.

Sunil Poonen - The Promise of Shekinah for the New Year

Sunil Poonen · Jan 1, 2026 · 23m

Sunil Poonen encourages believers to embrace humility and resist complaining spirits as they enter 2026, using biblical imagery of sticks and staffs to illustrate how God builds His church with those who depend on Him completely. Drawing from stories like Aaron's budding staff and Elisha's axe, he teaches that God restores the broken and rejected, making them fruitful as branches connected to Jesus the vine, and that the foundation of spiritual growth is poverty of spirit and complete reliance on the Lord.

Zac Poonen - Sermon on the Mount - 7

Zac Poonen · Dec 15, 2025 · 27m

Zac Poonen expounds on the Beatitudes from Matthew 5, explaining nine right attitudes that characterize blessed believers: poverty of spirit, mourning for sin, meekness, hunger for righteousness, mercy, purity of heart, and peacemaking. He emphasizes that genuine righteousness must be accompanied by humility and mercy toward others, and that standing firm on biblical truth—whether through baptism, avoiding dishonesty, or confessing Christ—inevitably invites persecution from those whose compromises are exposed by our obedience.

Zac Poonen - Sermon on the Mount - 5

Zac Poonen · Dec 1, 2025 · 29m

In this sermon on Matthew 5, Zac Poonen explains the nine blessed attitudes Jesus taught, focusing on developing humility (being poor in spirit), genuine grief over sin, gentleness in refusing to fight for earthly possessions, desperate hunger for righteousness in controlling eyes and tongue, and mercy through forgiveness. He emphasizes that righteousness comes only through genuine, desperate longing rather than casual religious practice, and that mercy means forgiving those who hurt us while still protecting and disciplining when necessary.

Zac Poonen - Sermon on the Mount - 3

Zac Poonen · Nov 17, 2025 · 28m

Zac Poonen teaches on the Beatitudes from the Sermon on the Mount, focusing on being "poor in spirit" and mourning for sin. He uses illustrations showing how recognizing oneself as nothing before God multiplies one's value and effectiveness in the church, and emphasizes that genuine mourning comes from seeing Jesus's holiness and recognizing the gravity of sin, ultimately leading to compassion for others and true spiritual leadership.

Zac Poonen - Building the Church With the Spirit of Christ

Zac Poonen · Oct 27, 2025 · 15m

Zac Poonen teaches that building a God-honoring church requires the attitude of Christ—doing nothing from selfishness and regarding others as more important than yourself. Using Philippians 2:3-5 and examples from Jesus's ministry, he emphasizes that becoming like Christ involves humility, genuine care for others (even to the point of inconvenience), and constant self-examination to measure spiritual growth. The foundational principle is that everything must be done for God's glory, not personal advancement or honor.

Jeremy Utley - I MUST Decrease for Christ to Increase

Jeremy Utley · Oct 7, 2025 · 21m

Jeremy Utley teaches that for Christ to truly increase in our lives, we must decrease—denying our self-will, self-interest, and self-awareness in a daily, costly commitment to discipleship. Drawing from John 3:30 and 2 Corinthians 4:10, he emphasizes that bearing Christ's dying (saying no to our own initiative and will) is the prerequisite for manifesting Christ's life, and that this requires constant vigilance and passion to become nothing so that Jesus becomes everything.

Zac Poonen - Be Like Little Children

Zac Poonen · Sep 16, 2025 · 11m

Jesus calls Christians to become like little children by eliminating pride, self-importance, and grudges. True conversion involves developing a childlike mindset—free from thoughts of personal greatness, inability to hold grudges, and genuine love for others—which is the path to humility and spiritual greatness in God's kingdom.

Sunil Poonen - Overflowing With the Fragrance of Christ

Sunil Poonen · Aug 4, 2025 · 36m

Sunil Poonen teaches Christians to move beyond a self-centered faith focused on personal gain toward spiritual maturity as true sons and daughters of God. Using the parable of the prodigal son and the example of Jesus submitting to His Father's business, he contrasts childish dependence and entitlement with adult discipleship that serves God's purposes rather than seeking recognition, financial prosperity, or earthly blessings. The key to spiritual growth is surrendering self-centered ambitions and finding contentment in God's presence and authority.

Sunil Poonen - Be Broken as Jesus Was Broken for You

Sunil Poonen · Aug 4, 2025 · 11m

Jesus calls us to be broken—to surrender our circumstances, pride, and self-reliance—just as He was broken for us. Through the story of the disciples on the road to Emmaus, Sunil Poonen teaches that recognizing Jesus's presence requires willingness to receive correction, abandon our victim mentality, and embrace the brokenness that comes from taking up our cross and denying ourselves.

Zac Poonen - The Fear of God and Humility

Zac Poonen · Jul 28, 2025 · 40m

The fear of God and humility are rare but essential characteristics for mature New Testament Christians seeking to reflect Jesus Christ. These two qualities, as exemplified by Christ himself, lead to spiritual wealth, honor, and eternal life, and manifest practically through careful judgment that doesn't rely solely on what we see or hear but waits patiently for fuller understanding. Growing beyond spiritual infancy requires cultivating reverence for God and genuine humility, which the sevenfold Holy Spirit imparts to believers who diligently pursue God's word and walk in intimate fellowship with Him.

Sunil Poonen - God Needs Donkeys

Sunil Poonen · Jul 7, 2025 · 28m

Sunil Poonen uses the biblical symbol of the donkey to teach Christians about humility, submission, and purpose. Drawing from Matthew 21 (Jesus' triumphal entry), Psalms 73, and Exodus 13, he explains that God values those who recognize their foolishness and ignorance, depend entirely on Him, and carry the cross daily—just as young people and all believers are called to be humble instruments in God's hands rather than relying on their own abilities or confidence.
