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 · May 30, 2021 · 1h 0m
The central message is that true Christian fellowship requires a vertical relationship with God (the Father and Son) as well as horizontal relationships with other believers.

Zac Poonen · Nov 18, 2018 · 2h 30m
The speaker argues that the New Testament pattern for church leadership, established by the Holy Spirit, involves appointing elders in groups of two or more, citing Acts 13 and 14 as evidence. He contends that the practice of single-person leadership, whether in a pastor or a single high priest, is unscriptural and a human tradition. True service, like the apostles, should be done without salary, relying on God's provision.

Zac Poonen · Mar 27, 2016 · 33m
The central message is that the primary purpose of gathering on Sunday is to build genuine fellowship, which is more vital than merely hearing the word of God.

Zac Poonen · Jan 16, 2016 · 1h 22m
The central message is that the biblical understanding of the church is not a physical building or a denomination, but rather a group of people called out from the world. The speaker contrasts this biblical definition with modern practices, such as electing leaders through voting, arguing that the church structure should follow the pattern of the New Testament, where God appoints leaders, not the people themselves.

Zac Poonen · May 10, 2015 · 1h 16m
The message warns against deception in Christianity, particularly the temptation to revert to the Old Covenant or mix conflicting doctrines, comparing this to sowing two kinds of seed in a vineyard. The speaker emphasizes that true spiritual life requires understanding the symbolism of the Old Testament pointing to Christ and that God dwells in the Spirit, not merely in emotion or the mind. He concludes by stressing that the church's focus should be on following New Testament teachings for a Godly life, rather than mixing doctrines or seeking earthly kingdom status.
