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 · 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.

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.

CFC Messages · Sep 2, 2025 · 38m
The central message emphasizes the necessity of understanding God's holiness, arguing that this revelation is prerequisite for fully grasping God's love and grace. The speaker uses passages from Exodus 3 (the burning bush), Isaiah 6 (seraphim proclaiming 'Holy, holy, holy'), and Revelation 4 to illustrate the overwhelming nature of God's purity. Seeing God's holiness forces an individual to confront their own sinfulness.

Suren Gurivireddy - “Fruit of the Spirit - Self Control” | Austin CFC | 2024-09-15
Suren Gurivireddy · Jan 20, 2025 · 47m
The message focuses on 'self-control,' one of the fruits of the Holy Spirit, emphasizing that this virtue reflects Christlikeness. The speaker stresses that self-control is a supernatural work requiring believers to yield to the Spirit's power to resist the flesh's constant pull in all areas of life. Lacking this control leads to spiritual bluntness and ineffectiveness, making it crucial for sound judgment, especially as the end times approach.

The speaker encourages an 'audit' of spiritual progress, comparing it to end-of-quarter reviews. Using Revelation 2:4, he warns that while the church in Ephesus excelled in works and perseverance, they neglected their initial love for Christ. The central message is to remember those early days of pure devotion, repent from drifting away, and recommit to the Lord.

Josh McGuire · Jan 20, 2025 · 50m
The message emphasizes the continuous state of readiness required for Christ's return or service, detailing four things that render one unready: sin, unresolved conflict with others, unforgiveness, and lacking an inner life in Christ. For each deficiency, a corresponding solution is provided—confession/repentance, reconciliation, forgiveness, and seeking the Holy Spirit. The speaker concludes by contrasting the perceived 'heaviness' of Christian commands with the actual weight of sin.

Josh McGuire - “A Vertical Plank of Worship” | Austin CFC | 2024-09-29
Josh McGuire · Jan 20, 2025 · 47m
The speaker discusses the concept of a church needing both a vertical plank (relationship with God) and a horizontal plank (relationships with fellow believers). He emphasizes that while love for one another is important, the most crucial element is maintaining a solid, personal relationship with Jesus Christ. The message challenges listeners to deeply examine who they truly worship, drawing on scripture to define true worship as being in spirit and truth.

"Made One in the Holy Spirit" - Santosh Poonen | Austin CFC | WoF 2024
Santosh Poonen · Nov 3, 2024 · 1h 12m
The speaker argues that truly understanding God's holiness, as seen by Isaiah, leads to a profound sense of personal unholiness and sin. He warns against treating the concept of God's holiness lightly, suggesting that such teachings must lead to genuine life change rather than mere emotional singing. The ultimate goal is perfecting holiness through the fear of God.

The speaker emphasizes that Christian life's purpose is solely to give glory to God, not to build a personal legacy. He draws from Isaiah 42:8 ("I will not share my glory with another") as a constant reminder of this truth. The message encourages the congregation to approach God's presence with thanksgiving and praise, recognizing that all honor belongs only to Him.

Santosh Poonen - Brokenness and A New Vessel | Austin CFC | WoF 2022 Session 1
Santosh Poonen · Nov 14, 2022 · 1h 20m
The message emphasizes that believers must strive to be 'vessels of honor' by cleansing themselves from all impurity, as taught in 2 Timothy 2:20-21. Drawing parallels from scripture (Elisha purifying water with salt), the core teaching is that God requires a complete new creation, not merely remodeling of an old life. True transformation means embracing the reality that 'if anyone is in Christ, the old has passed away.'

Zac Poonen 2 - Jesus Came to Call Sinners to Repentance | Austin CFC | 2022-09-25
Zac Poonen · Sep 26, 2022 · 1h 24m
The speaker encourages listeners to move beyond merely asking God for things and instead cultivate true worship, drawing lessons from John 4. He emphasizes that the Holy Spirit prompts us to care for those despised by others, citing Jesus's visit to a Samaritan woman. Furthermore, he points out that God shows particular favor to the poor and overlooked, urging Christians to emulate Christ's example of living as He lived, which is best learned through studying the Gospels.

Santosh Poonen · Nov 14, 2021 · 57m
The central message is how believers can know they are drawing closer to God's presence, which is characterized by a fullness of joy. The speaker uses analogies like decreasing mileage markers and the smell of barbecue to illustrate spiritual progress, urging listeners to check their lives for sustained joy rather than merely feeling an atmosphere of religious fervor. True closeness to Jesus leads to genuine, abiding joy.

Santosh Poonen · Nov 11, 2019 · 1h 12m
The speaker warns that as the end times approach, deception will increase from both Satan and even God Himself. He emphasizes that those who fail to love the truth for salvation will fall for these deceptions. The core message is a call to maintain a deep reverence for God's Word, ensuring one remains committed to the truth rather than being swayed by comfortable falsehoods.

Austin CFC - Zac Poonen 2019 - Session 5: The Way to Cups Running Over
Zac Poonen · May 8, 2019 · 1h 0m
The central message emphasizes the necessity of pressing on toward perfection in the Christian life, drawing from James 1 and Hebrews 6. True transformation is marked not by immediate perfection but by a deep desire to no longer live in sin or self-deception. The speaker warns against hypocrisy, noting that genuine filling with the Holy Spirit requires hating one's own sinful tendencies rather than merely experiencing initial spiritual euphoria.

Victory Through Christ-Centeredness - Santosh Poonen, WOF 2014, Austin, TX
Santosh Poonen · Nov 11, 2014 · 1h 15m
The central message is that true Christian life involves making Jesus preeminent in everything, which means presenting one's entire body as a living and holy sacrifice to God. While victory over sin is possible through grace, believers still live in temptation, requiring constant surrender. This worship is not limited to Sunday services but should be a continuous lifestyle of devotion.
