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.

David Raju - "Building a Life that Stands” | Austin CFC | 2026-07-19
David Raju · Jul 19, 2026 · 1h 7m
The message emphasizes that building a life pleasing to God requires establishing a solid foundation in the truth of salvation through Jesus Christ. The speaker warns against discontentment, drawing parallels between Lucifer's prideful desire for self-ascension and humanity's tendency toward sin by grasping for what is not rightfully theirs. True discipleship involves accepting this foundational truth and responding with genuine repentance.

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.

Zac Poonen - The Eternal Life is to Know God | Austin CFC | 2026-07-08
Zac Poonen · Jul 16, 2026 · 57m
The speaker clarifies that biblical eternal life is not merely living forever but rather knowing God the Father and Jesus Christ personally through the Holy Spirit, as defined by Jesus in John 17:3. True knowledge of God requires an intimate union, likened to a husband and wife's relationship, which necessitates confessing all sins and abandoning any tendency to blame others. The breaking of this connection with God is evidenced by pointing fingers at another person.

Suren Gurivireddy - "Put on the New Self” | Austin CFC | 2026-06-14
Suren Gurivireddy · Jun 14, 2026 · 58m
The message centers on the necessity of believers actively discarding their former sinful nature—the 'old self'—and adopting a new life in Christ. Paul instructs that because we have been taught by the truth found in Jesus, our response must be to put off behaviors corrupted by deceit and lust. This requires recognizing our old patterns of thinking and living so we can intentionally replace them with God's way.

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.

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.

CFC Messages · May 24, 2026 · 9m
The message centers on understanding what it means to be 'poor in spirit,' which is defined as recognizing one's spiritual helplessness, lack of power, and inability to achieve righteousness on one's own. This humility is the prerequisite for receiving the kingdom of heaven, drawing believers to rely completely on God's filling power rather than their own strength.

Zac Poonen - Walking In The Light With God At All Times | Austin CFC | 2026-05-13
Zac Poonen · May 15, 2026 · 1h 11m
The speaker contrasts the Old Covenant with the New Covenant established through Christ, noting that while many commandments from the Old Testament can be kept by non-Christians, the tenth commandment—not desiring what belongs to a neighbor—was impossible to keep. He emphasizes that true understanding of scripture requires meditation, using the encounter with the rich young ruler as an example where Jesus pointed beyond mere adherence to law toward a deeper commitment.

Austin CFC Memory Verse | 2026-05-10 | Malachi 4:6
CFC Messages · May 10, 2026 · 6m
The message centers on restoring broken relationships, drawing from Malachi 4:6 regarding fathers and children. The speaker emphasizes that while physical provision is important, God desires deeper elements like love, humility, time, and patience in family life. He connects this to the cross of Christ (Ephesians 2), arguing that just as Christ broke down barriers between groups, His love can reconcile all relationships—including those within the church—by bringing us near to God.

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.

The speaker discusses the remarkable nature of the Bible—its composition across 66 books by approximately 40 authors over 1500 years in three languages. He emphasizes that despite its diverse origins, a single thread runs through it: God's redemptive story, ultimately authored by the Holy Spirit (2 Timothy 3:16). The message then focuses on the book of Hebrews, highlighting how it uniquely presents both the divinity and humanity of Christ.

David Raju - Our Choices Make Us | Austin CFC | 2026-03-15
David Raju · Mar 15, 2026 · 47m
The central message is that our daily choices determine our spiritual harvest, contrasting sowing into the 'flesh' with sowing into the 'spirit.' Drawing from Galatians 6 and Romans 7-8, the speaker emphasizes that human willpower fails against sin, but true freedom comes through recognizing the power of the Holy Spirit. The battle is won not by fighting harder, but by consciously setting our minds on spiritual things.

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.

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.

Zac Poonen · Feb 13, 2026 · 19m
The speaker addresses the issue of information overload, advising listeners to prioritize listening to their conscience and seeking to be filled with the Holy Spirit rather than trying to absorb every piece of available teaching. He emphasizes that spiritual growth is measured by increasing clarity in one's conscience, referencing Luke 11:34. Furthermore, he teaches that true confidence in service comes from recognizing power beyond natural ability, which points to dependence on God.

Josh McGuire - What a Waste | Austin CFC | 2025-12-28
Josh McGuire · Dec 28, 2025 · 48m
The speaker uses the analogy of throwing away money to illustrate how deeply scripture can impact one's heart, revealing what is truly valued or wasted in life. He focuses on the biblical story of a woman anointing Jesus's feet with expensive perfume, contrasting Judas's criticism (that it was wasteful) with deeper spiritual insights found in John and Luke regarding motives and true devotion.

Josh McGuire - Unrighteous Wealth and Benefactors | Austin CFC | 2025-12-21
Josh McGuire · Dec 22, 2025 · 47m
The speaker discusses the complex relationship between money and faith, drawing heavily from Luke 16. He emphasizes that while God uses our interactions with money to reveal what is truly valuable, the problem lies not in money itself but in the love of it. The sermon warns against 'unrighteous wealth,' which represents anything that competes for our heart's devotion with God.

Josh McGuire · Nov 30, 2025 · 50m
The speaker recounts a childhood story from his first day of kindergarten where he was nearly injured by a rope accident on the merry-go-round. His terror instantly vanished when a classmate offered him gum, illustrating how an act of simple kindness changed his experience. He argues that while kindness is powerful in the world, its true motivation should not be transactional, but rather rooted in something deeper.

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.

Santosh Poonen · Nov 7, 2025 · 1h 23m
The message emphasizes the necessity of continually seeking the filling of the Holy Spirit, comparing it to a rocket needing parts stripped away to reach a higher level. The speaker warns that anxiety stems from believing Christ is not enough and uses Abraham's willingness to sacrifice Isaac as an example of prioritizing God above all blessings. Ultimately, the goal for Christians is to partake in the divine nature by being conformed into the image of Jesus.

Santosh Poonen - 2025 WoF Session 1: The Church as a Dwelling Place Primarily for God
Santosh Poonen · Nov 7, 2025 · 1h 4m
The speaker argues that contrary to human expectation, the longer one walks with Jesus Christ, the more helpless and dependent they should feel, a state revealed to 'babes' rather than the wise. He warns Christians against relying on their own strength, noting that sustained spiritual life can become burdensome if one is following an 'other Jesus.' True rest and discipleship come from returning to a childlike dependence on Christ.

Santosh Poonen · Nov 2, 2025 · 1h 33m
The speaker warns that while the human desire to know is natural and drives worldly advancement, this same impulse can be dangerous when applied spiritually, leading to pride. He advises listeners to constantly examine their motives—whether questions stem from genuine love meant to build up or from a desire for personal control or knowledge accumulation. Ultimately, he urges the audience to seek Jesus Christ as the source of life rather than merely accumulating theological answers.
