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.

Austin CFC Memory Verse | 2026-07-19 | John 10:14-15
CFC Messages · Jul 19, 2026 · 11m
The central message emphasizes the difference between mere factual knowledge about Jesus and true, intimate knowing, which is likened to the deep bond between family members. True knowledge requires yielding one's will to Christ's will, leading to an immediate recognition of His voice even amidst distractions. This profound intimacy with God is presented as essential for attaining eternal life.

Suren Gurivireddy - Surviving Remnant Takes Root Downward & Bears Fruit Upward|Austin CFC|2026-07-12
Suren Gurivireddy · Jul 12, 2026 · 1h 3m
The message centers on the concept of the 'surviving remnant,' drawing heavily from Isaiah 37:31, which promises that the remnant will take root downward and bear fruit upward. This principle is illustrated by comparing it to trusting in the Lord like a tree planted by water (Jeremiah 17). The core teaching emphasizes that during times of trial, believers must deepen their roots in God's word and presence so that they can continue bearing spiritual fruit even when external circumstances are difficult.

Josh McGuire · Jun 28, 2026 · 50m
The speaker uses his experience as an instructor in the Air Force to illustrate a principle for spiritual growth: one must move from merely hearing (10%) to actively doing (50%), and finally to teaching others (90%). He applies this framework to Christian living, noting that faith begins by hearing God's word, which is foundational to discipleship.

David Raju - "Abundant Life In Doing God's Will” | Austin CFC | 2026-06-21
David Raju · Jun 21, 2026 · 57m
The central message is that true and abundant life comes not from worldly success or wealth, but from knowing and actively doing God's will. The speaker emphasizes Jesus' example, citing John 4:34, where Jesus stated his food was to do the will of the Father. Ultimately, following Christ means submitting one's own desires to the divine plan, even when it is difficult, as exemplified by Jesus in Gethsemane.

The message centers on Jesus' statement that whoever does the will of God is family, emphasizing that spiritual kinship through Christ surpasses biological ties. The speaker encourages listeners to prioritize following God's will above all else, recognizing that this requires dependence on the Holy Spirit and constant prayer for divine guidance in complex life situations.

Austin CFC Memory Verse | 2026-06-14 | 1 Corinthians 6:20
CFC Messages · Jun 14, 2026 · 2m 45s
The message centers on the memory verse from 1 Corinthians 6:20, reminding listeners that they have been bought with a price and are not their own. Using analogies about caring for borrowed items like cars and trucks, the speaker encourages the congregation to meditate on how best to use and care for their bodies in Christ, concluding that what God desires for us is ultimately what is best for our whole being.

Austin CFC Memory Verse | 2026-05-31 | Romans 12:10
CFC Messages · May 31, 2026 · 8m
The message emphasizes that true Christian love must be genuine and not hypocritical, drawing heavily on Romans 12:10. The speaker argues that authentic love for others flows directly from a deep, obedient love for God; one cannot truly claim to love God while hating or neglecting a brother or sister. Furthermore, honoring others requires humility, considering them as more important than oneself, and recognizing that all believers are interconnected parts of the body of Christ.

Josh McGuire - Being Heavenly Minded | Austin CFC | 2026-05-24
Josh McGuire · May 24, 2026 · 53m
The central message is that believers should intentionally focus their minds on heavenly things rather than earthly concerns. Drawing from Philippians 4:8 and Colossians 3, the speaker uses the analogy of a rubber band to illustrate how our thoughts naturally revert to what they are attached to—whether it's worldly pursuits or spiritual realities. He encourages listeners to examine where their minds dwell when given free time.

David Raju - The God who sees | Austin CFC | 2026-05-10
David Raju · May 10, 2026 · 45m
The message draws from Isaiah 40, highlighting that while all human life is fleeting like grass, the word of God endures forever. The central call is for believers to proclaim this eternal Word by lifting up their voices and proclaiming comfort and truth. Furthermore, the speaker emphasizes that speaking words of encouragement, edification, and comfort—whether to family or friends—is a form of prophesying and fulfilling a divine calling.

Austin CFC Memory Verse | 2026-05-03 | Luke 6:38
CFC Messages · May 3, 2026 · 10m
The message centers on the principle of selfless giving, drawing from Luke 6:38, which states that if we give, we will receive a good measure back. The speaker emphasizes that this exchange with God is relational, not transactional; true reward comes from trusting Him to take what we hold dear. Ultimately, the core teaching is that by 'giving away our life' and dying to self, we find something far more valuable in Christ.

Josh McGuire · Apr 26, 2026 · 52m
The speaker draws parallels between Adam in the Garden of Eden and human life, emphasizing that humanity was created for wonder and discovery. He argues that our purpose is to discover God's goodness through everything, much like exploring a garden where all trees are freely available except one forbidden knowledge. This principle applies to work and spiritual understanding; when we are discovering something—whether practical or theological—we should embrace the process without fear of failure.

Zac Poonen - Manifesting the Life of Jesus | Austin CFC | 2026-04-22
Zac Poonen · Apr 25, 2026 · 57m
The central message is that believers must establish themselves firmly on the foundation of being accepted by God through Christ, which declares them righteous regardless of their current sinfulness. To overcome discouragement and manifest the life of Jesus, one must adopt a mindset of 'dying' to personal opinions, prejudices, and judgments about others, instead living daily in alignment with Christ's example.

David Raju - The Servant Life | Austin CFC | 2026-04-12
David Raju · Apr 12, 2026 · 42m
The central message draws from Jesus' teaching that true greatness comes through servant leadership, contrasting worldly ambition with Christ's example. The speaker outlines a framework for living out this service: first, establishing an undivided foundation in a simple devotion to God; second, applying this service as a husband and father by prioritizing self-sacrifice over control; and third, continuing this pattern of humble service in all areas of life.

Jarrod Schnell - Lessons from Leah | Austin CFC | 2026-03-22
Jarrod Schnell · Mar 23, 2026 · 46m
The speaker uses the story of Leah and Rachel from Genesis 29 to illustrate how people can be unexpectedly thrust into difficult or painful life circumstances that they did not choose. He suggests viewing these trials—the 'good and the bad'—as opportunities for God to work in us, leading to a deeper knowledge of Him.

Zac Poonen -The example of Job is a Challenge to Us | Austin CFC | 2026-03-11
Zac Poonen · Mar 14, 2026 · 57m
The speaker emphasizes that human life cannot be sustained by physical needs alone but must rely on God's word. He discusses the need for discipline in areas like food, sleep, and sexual desire, noting that while these are natural desires, excess leads to spiritual neglect. The message concludes by referencing Job 31, highlighting a high standard of moral conduct—such as making a covenant with one's eyes—that is expected of believers.

Josh McGuire - A Properly Fueled Ambition | Austin CFC | 2026-03-01
Josh McGuire · Mar 1, 2026 · 46m
The speaker explores the concept of ambition, using examples like space travel and fighter jets to illustrate human drive. He argues that while everyone is ambitious, Christians must examine the source and direction of that ambition. Drawing from scripture, he emphasizes that true Christian aspiration should not be driven by selfish desires but rather by aligning with God's will.

David Raju- Walking in Light | Austin CFC | 2026-02-15
David Raju · Feb 15, 2026 · 50m
The message emphasizes that spiritual growth, like financial success, requires consistent 'baby steps' of faithfulness over time. The speaker draws parallels between compounding interest in finance and the necessity of daily consistency in one's walk with Christ. True riches are defined as fellowship with God, which is maintained by walking in the light through confession and acknowledging sin.

Zac Poonen - Zoom Meeting | Austin CFC | 2026-02-11
Zac Poonen · Feb 13, 2026 · 45m
The central message emphasizes that the testimony of a Christian life should be more impactful than doctrinal arguments, as John observed when describing seeing and hearing the 'life' manifested by Jesus. The speaker urges believers to live lives characterized by visible transformation, humility, and joy, allowing others—even non-believers—to recognize the distinct way of life associated with Christ.

Suren Gurivireddy - Lessons from Nehemiah | Austin CFC | 2026-02-01
Suren Gurivireddy · Feb 1, 2026 · 49m
The sermon uses Nehemiah's life, particularly his concern over the broken walls of Jerusalem, to illustrate Christian responses to distress. The speaker emphasizes that when faced with bad news or significant problems, the proper initial response is not immediate action or distraction, but deep mourning, fasting, and prayer before God. This sets the stage for understanding how Nehemiah's burden led to rebuilding.

Josh McGuire - Handling unChristlikeness in Each Other | Austin CFC | 2026-01-25
Josh McGuire · Jan 25, 2026 · 58m
The speaker discusses the necessity of giving up personal freedom and privacy for service, drawing parallels from his military experience and role as an elder. He emphasizes that Christians should be prepared for scrutiny by remembering that God will eventually bring all things—hidden or revealed—into the light. The message concludes by stating that while humility is cited as the three most important aspects of Christian life, merely knowing these concepts is insufficient; true application is required.

David Raju - Standing Strong by God’s Grace and Power | Austin CFC | 2026-01-11
David Raju · Jan 11, 2026 · 45m
To stand strong in life, believers must rely not on their own strength but on God's grace and power, exemplified by Jesus submitting to His parents. The speaker emphasizes that salvation and daily living flow from this unearned gift of grace, which is supplemented by the Holy Spirit. These gifts—grace and the Spirit—are given for a specific purpose: enabling believers to obey God's commandments.

Suren Gurivireddy - 3 Areas I want to grow this New Year | Austin CFC | 2026-01-04
Suren Gurivireddy · Jan 4, 2026 · 49m
The speaker encourages listeners to aim for spiritual growth in the new year, comparing it to the dawn's light which progressively shines brighter. He outlines three areas of personal development—devotion to God, marriage, and church life—and focuses on the first: deepening one's love and devotion to Christ. True devotion should be pure and simple, exemplified by women who acted out of profound gratitude for forgiveness or in preparation for Jesus' burial.

Zac Poonen - Baptism in the Holy Spirit Prepares Us for Service | Austin CFC | 2025-12-17
Zac Poonen · Dec 19, 2025 · 25m
The speaker recounts his personal spiritual journey, detailing how initial salvation was insufficient for true victory over sin like anger and bad thoughts. He emphasizes that a deeper experience—the baptism in the Holy Spirit—was necessary to move beyond merely confessing sins toward achieving genuine power and boldness to witness. This subsequent filling empowered him to overcome previous limitations and establish ministry.

David Raju - Building the Church through Prophecy | Austin CFC | 2025-12-14
David Raju · Dec 14, 2025 · 39m
The speaker discusses how the gift of prophecy, in the New Covenant context, is not about predicting the future but about speaking God's heart to build up and encourage the body of Christ. He emphasizes that true prophecy aims for edification (building up), exhortation (challenging), and consolation (comforting) others. Ultimately, prophecy serves to strengthen the entire church, guiding believers on the narrow path of discipleship.
