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 | 2026-07-26 | Galatians 6:7
CFC Messages · Jul 26, 2026 · 12m
The message centers on the principle that God cannot be mocked; whatever a person sows, they will reap. The speaker contrasts sowing to the flesh (sin) which yields corruption, with sowing to the Spirit, which results in eternal life. He encourages believers to remain diligent in doing good works and not lose heart, drawing parallels between physical discipline and spiritual disciplines.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Suren Gurivireddy - God did not spare HIS own Son | Austin CFC | 2026-05-03
Suren Gurivireddy · May 3, 2026 · 54m
The speaker addresses common struggles in faith, such as questioning God's love, justice, and care during trials. He uses Job and Psalm 73 as examples of righteous individuals who wrestled with these profound questions regarding suffering and the prosperity of the wicked. The central message is that true understanding comes not from our own limited perspective but through divine revelation, leading to repentance and acceptance of God's sovereignty.

Suren Gurivireddy · Apr 5, 2026 · 56m
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.

Josh McGuire - War and Hell | Austin CFC | 2026-03-29
Josh McGuire · Mar 29, 2026 · 52m
The speaker addresses the question of why there is conflict and 'war' in the world, drawing heavily from James 4. He argues that the root cause of all conflict—whether between nations or within a family—is selfish desire and the pursuit of personal pleasure over submitting to God's will. He illustrates this point by tracing patterns of grasping and coveting throughout scripture, citing examples from Eden, Cain, and Jacob.

Suren Gurivireddy - Lessons from Nehemiah - Pt 2 | Austin CFC | 2026-03-08
Suren Gurivireddy · Mar 8, 2026 · 55m
The sermon reviews Nehemiah's life and the historical context of rebuilding Jerusalem's walls after the Babylonian exile. The speaker emphasizes that Nehemiah’s initial response to hearing about the city's ruin was deep prayer, which included adoration, confession, and a specific petition for God's intervention. He models patience by waiting on the Lord before taking action.

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.

Suren Gurivireddy · Dec 7, 2025 · 50m
The message emphasizes the necessity of being spiritually prepared for the unexpected return of Christ, using the examples of Noah and Lot. Just as those populations were engaged in normal daily life—eating, drinking, building—they were unprepared for divine judgment. Believers must remain rooted in scripture to discern the times and not be caught unaware.

The speaker warns that while human desire to know is good for worldly advancement, it is dangerous in spiritual matters because knowledge can lead to pride. He emphasizes that love builds up, contrasting it with the arrogance derived from excessive knowledge. Ultimately, he urges listeners not to leave seeking mere answers, but rather seeing Jesus Christ as the source of all truth and life.

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.

Josh McGuire · Oct 12, 2025 · 51m
The speaker discusses his reflections on death, emphasizing that the most important inheritance he wants for others is knowing Jesus Christ, rather than material wealth. He advises listeners not to worry about the method of death but instead to trust in Christ's grace, as Revelation shows Him holding the keys to death and hell. Ultimately, the message focuses on maintaining the right spiritual attitude when facing death.

The speaker uses Peter's life—marked by initial sinfulness, moments of great faith, failure (denial), and ultimate restoration—to illustrate a pattern of human experience. He contrasts the warning against false teachers in 2 Peter with the hope found in God's desire for all to repent, emphasizing that even after profound failings, there is divine mercy and enduring truth.

The speaker provides historical context for the Book of Haggai, tracing Israel's history from its golden age through periods of disobedience, exile by Babylon, and eventual return under Persian rule. He uses the example of Zerubbabel, who was born in Babylonian captivity, to illustrate that one's background or heritage does not determine their relationship with God; instead, personal choice to follow the Lord is what matters.

Josh McGuire - "Beware of the Leaven of Herod" | Austin CFC | 2025-07-20
Josh McGuire · Jul 20, 2025 · 42m
The speaker uses the biblical warning about 'leaven' (yeast) to illustrate that God's warnings are rooted in love, urging listeners to take them seriously. He focuses specifically on the 'leaven of Herod,' suggesting it relates to worldliness and material focus, contrasting this with the more commonly discussed leaven of the Pharisees. The message emphasizes paying close attention to Jesus' urgent warnings.

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.

Suren Gurivireddy · May 25, 2025 · 50m
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.

Josh McGuire - "I Have Two Talents" | Austin CFC | 2025-04-13
Josh McGuire · Apr 13, 2025 · 48m
The speaker reflects on the importance of numbers and details in parables, using the parable of the talents as a central theme. He argues that 'talent' represents everything one has been given—natural abilities, spiritual gifts, physical attributes, family background, and even citizenship—and that these are all part of a single package from God. The core message is to recognize and utilize everything gifted to you rather than focusing only on material wealth.
