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.

15th May 2022 - CFC Sunday Church Service | Are You Religious Or Spiritual? - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · May 15, 2022 · 1h 36m
The message distinguishes between mere religiosity, which is outward performance seen on Sunday, and true spirituality, which is lived out daily when no one is watching. True spirituality involves living in the constant fear of God, exposing one's life to the Word, and striving to align one's inner life with God's standard. This transformation is guided by the Holy Spirit.

UK Conference : The Light Is The Life Of Jesus - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · May 8, 2015 · 59m

He warns against becoming legalistic like the Pharisees or misunderstanding grace as a license to sin. True illumination comes not from scripture alone, but from making the life of Jesus the guiding light, which empowers believers to overcome the darkness of sin.
