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 · Jan 16, 2026 · 50m
The speaker emphasizes that a strong foundation in Christian life requires both repentance and faith, comparing them to two electric wires needed to complete a circuit. Repentance is defined as a complete about-turn from sin toward God, which should be an ongoing process throughout one's life. Furthermore, the message highlights that true Christian hope is twofold: believers will first become like Christ before they see Him.

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.

David Raju - The Foundation Test | Austin CFC | 2025-11-09
David Raju · Nov 9, 2025 · 40m
The speaker uses the analogy of foundation testing to prompt reflection on what foundation believers are building their lives upon, referencing Matthew 7. He emphasizes that true discipleship requires three non-negotiable commitments: supreme love for Christ over all else, daily carrying one's cross by dying to self-will, and obedience to God's word. Following Jesus means making radical choices where His will supersedes personal comfort or relationships.

Santosh Poonen - 2025 WoF Session 2: The Hope of Righteousness By Faith Through the Spirit
Santosh Poonen · Nov 7, 2025 · 53m
The central message is that God has already provided a way to righteousness through Jesus Christ, which believers must simply accept and walk in. The speaker emphasizes that this provision negates the need for self-effort or despair, comparing it to a pre-built highway through mountains. Believers are called to hold fast to the hope of righteousness found in Galatians 5:5 by relying on the Holy Spirit and faith.

Jarrod Schnell · Jun 8, 2025 · 54m
The speaker continues the study of the Book of Job, emphasizing that while the book presents profound questions about suffering, its foundation lies in a simple call to live blamelessly, uprightly, fearing God, and turning from evil. He stresses meditating on scripture rather than rushing through it, acknowledging that God's thoughts often exceed human understanding. Ultimately, the message encourages trusting in a good and holy God even when circumstances are incomprehensible.

The sermon advises believers, particularly leaders, to guard against strange and deceptive doctrines that distract from the core Christian life. Paul instructs Timothy that the goal of instruction must remain focused on love from a pure heart, good conscience, and sincere faith, rather than endless debates or myths. Maintaining a clear conscience is crucial because neglecting it can lead to a shipwreck of one's faith.

The central message emphasizes that perfect love, found only in God, drives out all fear and insecurity regarding our relationship with Him. The speaker advises believers to establish a foundation built on the certainty of God's unconditional love rather than seeking approval from people or fearing difficult circumstances. He encourages readers to view God through the lens of intimate covenant relationships, particularly referencing the bridegroom/bride imagery found in Song of Solomon.

Joshua McGuire - Soaring on Wings Like F-15 Eagles | Austin CFC | 2022-01-23
Joshua McGuire · Feb 22, 2025 · 42m
The speaker reflects on the promise to 'soar like eagles' by trusting the Lord, drawing parallels between his experience flying an F-15 jet and spiritual life. He emphasizes that major opportunities in life—like his chance to fly or salvation itself—are often dependent on God's timing and grace, not personal merit. Ultimately, he urges listeners not to let fear dictate their decisions, as this can cause them to miss tremendous opportunities.

The message uses the analogy of a metal detector to illustrate where we focus our lives' treasure. The speaker contrasts setting one's heart on earthly pursuits versus eternal ones, drawing parallels from scripture regarding seeking God with all our hearts. True treasure is found by adjusting our focus and intensity toward heavenly things.

Josh McGuire - Accepting Christ | Austin CFC | 2020-11-15
Josh McGuire · Jan 20, 2025 · 34m
The speaker discusses the necessity of truly understanding how one comes into a saving relationship with Christ, warning against the vague concept of 'accepting Christ.' He contrasts this with established biblical calls to believe or receive Christ as Lord and Savior. The central message is that true faith requires more than passive acceptance; it must be a genuine commitment understood deeply.

Josh McGuire - Money, p10: Contentment | Austin CFC | 2023-03-12
Josh McGuire · Jan 20, 2025 · 49m
The speaker continues the series on money, emphasizing that a person's heart will ultimately choose between God and money. He references Matthew 6:24, stating that increasing hatred of money increases love for God. Furthermore, he stresses that faithfulness with earthly resources (money) is how God tests us to entrust us with truly valuable things, urging the audience to desire what is eternally valuable.

The speaker recounts a period of financial and personal strain after moving to Austin, detailing how his income sources dried up due to receiving a 'no pay no points' letter from the Air Force. This sudden loss of expected income and status triggered deep doubts about his place in the church community. The message uses this experience to illustrate that when life circumstances create uncertainty, one must rely on God rather than external stability.

Josh McGuire - “Singing Through Trials” | Austin CFC | 2024-07-14
Josh McGuire · Jan 20, 2025 · 56m
The speaker encourages listeners to endure life's trials by fixing their eyes on Jesus, who endured the cross for the joy set before him. He uses examples from scripture—including Jesus singing a hymn before Gethsemane—to illustrate that maintaining faith and expressing devotion through song or worship is possible even amid intense suffering. The core message is finding perseverance in one's own trials by comparing them to the struggles of others, ultimately drawing strength from God's grace.

Josh McGuire · Jan 20, 2025 · 37m

Suren Gurivireddy · Jan 20, 2025 · 46m
The speaker addresses anxiety about the future, noting that worrying drains today's joy and strength. Drawing from Matthew 6:25-34, he emphasizes that Christians should focus on God's provision rather than being consumed by worries over basic needs like food, clothing, or career uncertainty. True security comes not from accumulating wealth or planning for every event, but from trusting in the Lord.
