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.

Anything New Will Be Opposed - Charles Banna
Charles Banna · Feb 21, 2024 · 1h 7m
The speaker uses examples from daily life, such as new appliances and barcodes, to illustrate that new things are often met with suspicion and doubt. He draws a parallel to the New Covenant established by Jesus, which was initially resisted because it challenged existing traditions and laws. The message emphasizes that genuine encounters with Christ transform people completely, leading to a new way of life that is often misunderstood or labeled as a 'sect.'

Forgiveness And Fellowship - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Feb 6, 2024 · 1h 0m
The central message, drawn from 1 John chapter 1, is that the purpose of the gospel is not merely forgiveness, but achieving full fellowship with God the Father and Jesus Christ, which extends to fellowship with one another. This constant fellowship is maintained by understanding that God is light, requiring believers to immediately confess any sin or 'darkness' to be cleansed by the blood of Jesus. Living in the light through confession is the path to a life of constant joy.

God Has Prepared For Us His Presence And His Church - Ajay Chakravarthy
Ajay Chakravarthy · Sep 29, 2023 · 25m
The speaker discusses two major things God has prepared for those who love Him: the privilege of constant access to God's presence, symbolized by the tearing of the veil, and the building up of the Church. Regarding the Church, he emphasizes that Jesus valued the disciples who remained faithful through His trials, comparing them to precious living stones. True oneness and fellowship within the church require sacrifice, mirroring the cross.

The Holy Spirit Gives Us Revelation - Ian Robson
Ian Robson · Sep 20, 2023 · 34m
The speaker recounts the founding of their church ministry, emphasizing that the initial drive came from a deep dissatisfaction with their own 'defeated life' rather than any specific church. He draws parallels to the early church in Acts, noting that God calls people for specific works, requiring diverse gifts like encouragement and boldness. The core message stresses that unity in the Lord can exist even amidst personal disagreements, and that the foundation laid through seeking God together is what sustains the ministry.

God Needs Broken Men And Women - Ian Robson
Ian Robson · Aug 23, 2023 · 48m
The speaker uses Jacob's dream at Bethel to illustrate the true reverence due to God's presence, equating the 'house of God' with the Church. He critiques the modern tendency to treat church gatherings like a mere club, suggesting that believers often reduce their relationship with God to transactional requests for worldly blessings. The central message is that the true reality is that Jesus Christ is the mediator, the 'stairway between heaven and earth,' allowing believers to experience an open heaven within the Church.

Holding Fast To The Head And Being Men And Women Under Authority - Ian Robson
Ian Robson · Aug 17, 2023 · 44m
The speaker reflects on the journey of the church over 48 years, emphasizing the importance of maintaining a close-knit, family-like community. He draws parallels between the intimacy of Jesus with his disciples and the need for the church to remain focused on its core members, citing Malachi 3:16 about those who fear the Lord speaking to one another. The central message is the necessity of spiritual discipline, submission to authority, and yielding to God's leading to preserve the church's testimony.

The Two Fold Testimony In Breaking Bread | ರೊಟ್ಟಿ ಮುರಿಯುವಿಕೆಯಲ್ಲಿರುವ ಎರಡು ರೀತಿಯ ಸಾಕ್ಷಿ | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jun 1, 2023 · 29m
The sermon emphasizes that taking part in the Lord's Table requires a two-fold examination: the vertical relationship with God and the horizontal relationship with fellow believers. For the vertical aspect, one must confess all known sins and seek forgiveness, as taking it lightly can lead to judgment. For the horizontal aspect, participation symbolizes being one body in Christ, requiring active fellowship and commitment to the local church family rather than just visiting for a benefit.

Lessons From The Life Of Solomon Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Apr 18, 2023 · 21m
The sermon uses the life of Solomon to warn against hypocrisy, noting that external piety can mask private unrighteousness. The speaker emphasizes that the greatest need today is for discernment, which only God can grant, as exemplified by Solomon's request for a wise and discerning heart. Finally, the speaker applies the judgment story to modern church conflict, advising believers not to divide or fight over ministries, but rather to leave and start anew if necessary.

Zac Poonen · Apr 12, 2023 · 25m
Paul addresses the Corinthian church regarding its spiritual issues, noting that while he begins with praise for any existing goodness, correction is necessary. Key themes include maintaining unity against divisions based on human wisdom or leaders, understanding that true Christian influence comes from the power of the Holy Spirit rather than worldly techniques, and recognizing that the message of the Cross remains foolishness to the world.

The Two-fold Testimony In Breaking Bread - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Mar 8, 2023 · 16m
The sermon emphasizes that participating in the Lord's Table requires a thorough self-examination concerning both one's relationship with God (vertical) and one's relationship with fellow believers (horizontal). Self-examination means confessing sins to God and making amends with others; the horizontal aspect signifies commitment and fellowship within the local church body. Taking part lightly, either by neglecting personal confession or by lacking commitment to the community, risks spiritual judgment.

Enduring In Love Until The End | 3. Recognizing The Value Of Others - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Oct 25, 2022 · 21m
The central message emphasizes that true understanding of the Body of Christ requires recognizing the indispensable value of every member, especially the seemingly weaker ones. The speaker warns against self-centeredness, noting that any part of the body that seeks only its own interest is like cancer. Genuine Christian love, exemplified by Christ, means giving oneself for the good of the church rather than seeking personal gain or honor.

Enduring In Love Until The End | 2. Loving One Another To The End (John 13:1) - Ian Robson
Ian Robson · Oct 25, 2022 · 50m
The speaker emphasizes that the New Covenant provides a solid grip on the Christian life, built upon God's love, the blood of Jesus, the Word of God, the Holy Spirit, daily cross-bearing, and fellowship. He contrasts the old covenant's pattern of single leaders with the New Testament's emphasis on ministry through pairs, using his own long-term fellowship with another brother as a testament to enduring partnership and mutual support in ministry.

Enduring In Love Until The End | 1. Preserving Reverence For God In The Church - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Oct 25, 2022 · 59m
The central message is that preserving reverence for God in the church, especially among preachers, requires maintaining a constant fear of God. The speaker emphasizes that all Christians must be witnesses, and this calling demands speaking as if God Himself is speaking, not from personal wisdom or experience. He uses the Apostle Paul as an example of humble service, concluding that true spiritual endurance is found in recognizing one's weakness and remaining dependent on God's grace.

New Covenant Life in New Covenant Churches - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Sep 21, 2022 · 24m
The speaker argues that many modern church systems are like 'old wine skins'—structures that have lost their original fervor and are filled with traditions not found in God's Word. He contrasts this with the 'new wine skin' pattern found in the New Testament, emphasizing that proper church structure involves appointed elders, no salaried preachers, and adherence to apostolic teaching. Following this pattern requires following Paul's teachings alongside Jesus's, as both are necessary for a complete understanding of the New Covenant life.

"Church" Called Out Of The World - Charles Banna
Charles Banna · Aug 12, 2022 · 1h 14m
The true church is not a physical building but the body of people called out from the world, echoing the Israelites called out of Egypt. Worshiping God in spirit and truth means living in a state of oneness with the Lord through the Holy Spirit, rather than adhering to physical locations or traditions. God desires wholehearted people who seek a godly life, as the church is meant to be a community sustained by God's provision for His children.

The Church – A Place Of Sacrifice And Protection - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Apr 19, 2022 · 56m
The central message emphasizes that the church is a place of mutual dependence, where every member, no matter how gifted, must recognize their need for others. The speaker warns against self-exaltation, reminding the congregation that no individual is indispensable to God's work. True service involves humbly doing the work God has given, knowing that only works done for eternity will remain.

What Makes Christ Uncomfortable In A Church - Santosh Poonen
Santosh Poonen · Feb 28, 2022 · 1h 9m
The speaker argues that the presence of God is not dependent on elaborate buildings or human efforts, citing scripture to show that the Most High does not dwell in structures made by human hands. True divine presence, or Christ's comfort, is found when certain spiritual principles are present within the community. These principles include rejoicing always, praying without ceasing, and giving thanks in everything, which are ways of not grieving the Holy Spirit.

Zac Poonen · Feb 21, 2022 · 4m
The speaker uses the example of two brothers in a triathlon, where one helped his struggling brother cross the finish line, to illustrate a profound Christian principle. He compares this act of selfless support to Jesus's willingness to help a stumbling sinner, emphasizing that Christian love requires us to lift up and push others forward, even if it means sacrificing our own desire to win.

Zac Poonen · Dec 10, 2021 · 24m
The speaker emphasizes that true Christian commitment is demonstrated by active participation, not just attendance. Drawing from the analogy of the body, he argues that every member must contribute, warning against spiritual passivity like a paralyzed hand. He concludes by encouraging listeners to assess their contributions, reminding them that God only asks what we are able to do, referencing the woman who poured out the ointment.

Demolishing What Is Human - Ian Robson
Ian Robson · Nov 18, 2021 · 50m
The speaker emphasizes that the greatest work believers can accomplish is building up the body of Christ, which is described as the family of God on earth. He argues that true unity is not mere agreement, but the ability to disagree without being disunited. Understanding the whole purpose of God is necessary to build this body, which is presented as something greater than religious structures or individual ministries.
