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.

The message centers on adopting the right attitude toward correction, drawing from the scripture Matthew 9:13 ("I desire compassion and not sacrifice").

22nd May 2022 - CFC Sunday Church Service | The Importance of True Repentance - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · May 22, 2022 · 1h 11m
True repentance is essential for spiritual growth, as God grants grace to the humble. The speaker emphasizes that humility is the root cause of receiving God's grace, which in turn provides victory over sin. He argues that many common struggles—such as losing temper, lust, or materialism—stem from a lack of humility and subsequent lack of grace.

4th July 2021 - Sunday Church Service | God Wants to Bless Us and Make Us a Blessing - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jul 4, 2021 · 1h 16m
The speaker emphasizes that everything—thoughts, attitudes, and motives—is completely visible to God. He stresses that believers must live with the constant awareness that God is the *only* one with whom they truly have to do. This recognition is crucial because people often behave as if they need to manage the opinions of others, which hinders true freedom in Christ.

The message emphasizes the profound importance of humility, drawing lessons from Jesus' example of being gentle and humble in heart.

16th February 2020 - True Humility Means This - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Feb 16, 2020 · 1h 43m
The central message emphasizes that true humility comes from the heart, not from outward appearance or reputation. The speaker urges listeners to learn from Jesus by adopting His gentle and humble heart attitude, which is best understood by studying the Gospels. He concludes by pointing to three key biblical reminders: having the attitude of Christ (Philippians 2:5), learning from Jesus' gentleness and humility (Matthew 11:29), and keeping one's focus fixed on Jesus (Hebrews 12:2).

12th January 2020 - The Root Of Sin & Of Salvation - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jan 12, 2020 · 1h 31m
The speaker argues that the root of all sin, tracing it to Ezekiel 28:17, is the phrase, "your heart was lifted up." This desire to exalt oneself and the resulting pride, which often stems from comparison, is the origin of all evil. True spiritual progress requires addressing this internal root of pride, rather than just managing external sinful behaviors.

17th Nov 2019 - God's Warnings Against Pride - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Nov 17, 2019 · 1h 38m
The speaker emphasizes that it is easy to forget humility after experiencing blessings, whether from God's favor, financial success, or public acclaim. He warns that the danger today is the approval of many people, which can lead to pride, contrasting this with the humble beginnings of the church. The core message is a call to remember that true service, as exemplified by Christ, requires remaining humble regardless of external success.

21st January 2018 - Jesus Should Be The Glory In Our Lives - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jan 21, 2018 · 1h 54m
The message centers on the profound lesson from Matthew 18 regarding the desire to be great, contrasting the worldly desire for recognition within the church with the humility of a little child. The speaker urges the congregation to meditate on the simple thoughts of a baby to achieve spiritual growth, while also balancing this with the maturity required for adult responsibilities within the church.

Freedom from Anger and Sexual Lust (கோபம் பாலிய இச்சையிலிருந்து விடுதலை) - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jan 14, 2017 · 1h 15m
The sermon argues that true wisdom requires confronting and overcoming known sins, using anger as a primary example. The speaker contrasts worldly self-control (like yoga) with true spiritual wisdom, noting that suppressing anger internally is dangerous. He emphasizes that anger dwells in the heart of a fool and that believers must emulate Jesus' non-retaliatory response, understanding that anger itself is a sin unless it concerns the glory of God.

The First Step To Get Heavenly Wisdom (பரத்திற்குரிய ஞானத்தைப் பெறுவதற்கான முதல் படி) - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jan 14, 2017 · 1h 13m
True divine wisdom is fundamentally different from human cleverness, as illustrated by Jesus' words in Matthew 11:25. The Bible reveals profound truths not to the wise or intelligent, but to the humble, like little children. Therefore, accessing God's wisdom requires abandoning self-reliance and embracing a posture of deep humility and helpless dependence on Christ.

From God, Through God and To God - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Mar 13, 2016 · 2h 5m
The sermon reflects on the early history of humanity, specifically comparing Cain and Seth from Genesis chapter 4. The speaker warns against parental arrogance, using Eve's statement about giving birth to Cain as an example of attributing accomplishment to human effort rather than divine help. He stresses the difference between genuine encouragement and puffing up a child's ego, cautioning that pride is opposed by God.

UK Conference : Humility And Self Judgement - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · May 9, 2015 · 1h 3m
The central message emphasizes that humility is a divine law, illustrated by how water naturally flows to the lowest point. True humility, however, is distinct from having a low self-estimate; it means recognizing one's true identity in Christ without becoming proud. The speaker urges listeners to adopt the attitude of Jesus—one of service and equality—and to remember that salvation is for sinners, not for those who believe they are superior.

7. Brokenness And Fullness Of Faith - Bangalore Conference 2014
Zac Poonen · Oct 3, 2014 · 1h 15m
The speaker emphasizes that God's work requires people who are broken and submissive to Him, noting that true preparation for ministry happens through testing in one's home and workplace. He draws from 2 Timothy 2:2, suggesting that 'faithful' implies being 'full of faith,' and argues that genuine faith is cultivated through periods of brokenness. Ultimately, the message assures that God uses every trial to deliver the righteous, even when the experience feels crushing.
