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.

Holding Fast Our Assurance Until the End - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Sep 29, 2025 · 36m
The message emphasizes holding fast to faith until the end by maintaining a sincere longing for God, even when others might judge or discourage. The speaker uses examples like Zacchaeus, the woman caught in adultery, and the thief on the cross to illustrate God's boundless mercy for sinners. Ultimately, achieving a holy life requires not just asking for it, but passionately hunger and thirsting for it, which must then lead to practicing mercy toward others.

Completing God’s Plan for Our Lives - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Sep 22, 2025 · 20m
The speaker emphasizes that life itself is a miracle, drawing from Psalm 139 to show that God knew and planned for every detail of our lives before we were born. He stresses that while God forgives past sins, true repentance involves a deep sorrow that motivates one to actively cooperate with God's plan for the remaining years. The message urges listeners to take their relationship with God seriously, lest they waste time through casualness or disobedience.

The Wise Woman | ಜ್ಞಾನವುಳ್ಳ ಸ್ತ್ರೀ | Annie Poonen | Kannada
Annie Poonen · Sep 17, 2025 · 9m
The sermon contrasts worldly knowledge with divine wisdom, emphasizing that true wisdom comes from God through obedience and submission to His will. The speaker illustrates this by noting that a wise woman submits to God's commandments, mirroring how the church should operate by demonstrating obedience in all aspects of life. This obedience is key to building up both the home and the church.

Just As God Commanded | ದೇವರು ಅಜ್ಞಾಪಿಸಿದಂತೆಯೇ | Zac Poonen | Kannada
Zac Poonen · Sep 17, 2025 · 44m
The sermon draws lessons from the Old Testament account of Moses building the Tabernacle, emphasizing that God's glory resides not in outward splendor but in the inner reality. The central message is that believers are God's temple, and therefore, the focus must be on maintaining a pure heart and life lived according to God's will, rather than external appearances. True glory comes when one's life reflects God's commandments, leading to the manifestation of God's glory.

Entering the Life of Victory - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Sep 15, 2025 · 1h 9m
The speaker argues that true victory over sin requires a determined effort to learn to walk, comparing this to a child learning to walk rather than remaining perpetually carried. He posits that a wholehearted disciple should achieve this 'life of victory' in about two years, drawing parallels to the Israelites' original two-year plan after leaving Egypt. He emphasizes that spiritual maturity requires actively engaging with the struggle rather than remaining in a state of perpetual comfort or care.

Loving Christ Supremely - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Sep 8, 2025 · 58m
True worship is not merely singing praise or giving thanks, but a deep, daily declaration that one desires nothing on earth except Christ. The speaker emphasizes that spiritual growth comes from being a worshipper, exemplified by Job, rather than just accumulating Bible knowledge. This devotion requires constantly prioritizing Christ above all earthly desires, including career, family comfort, and even ministry itself.

Righteousness With Peace And Joy - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Sep 7, 2025 · 1h 7m
The central message emphasizes that many biblical promises, including provision for earthly needs and eternal rewards, are conditional. To receive God's blessings, one must first seek God's kingdom and righteousness above all else. Furthermore, true discipleship requires giving everything—plans, possessions, and ambitions—to God, rather than offering only a percentage. Humility, not gifting or status, is the key to eternal reward.

Laying A God-Fearing Foundation - Santosh Poonen (Youth Meeting)
Santosh Poonen · Sep 7, 2025 · 48m
The central message is that a person's life is pre-planned by God, starting before the world was created, and the ultimate destination is to be conformed to the image of Jesus. The speaker encourages the audience to build their lives on this truth by believing Romans 8:29, trusting that God works all circumstances, even struggles, together for good (Romans 8:28).

Zac Poonen · Aug 31, 2025 · 1h 12m
The sermon explores the true meaning of the Kingdom of God, clarifying that it is not merely a future, powerful, or political arrival, but rather the rule of God governing every aspect of life. The speaker emphasizes that living under God's government means conducting oneself with integrity, righteousness, and purity in all dealings, whether in work or personal life. He contrasts this with superficial enjoyment of worldly entertainment, urging the congregation to embrace the principles of God's rule in their daily lives.

Zac Poonen · Aug 25, 2025 · 30m
The central message is that God desires a generation characterized by divine devotion, not just biological offspring. This requires the help of the Holy Spirit to raise children in a divine way, as the world is currently under the influence of evil. True strength comes not from worldly power or intellect, but from unwavering faith in God's power, which is demonstrated by declaring 'Amen' to God's promises.

Q12 At What Age Should A Teenage Girl Wear Head Covering - Sunil Poonen
Sunil Poonen · Aug 25, 2025 · 3m 50s
The speaker addresses the question of when a teenage girl should wear a head covering, emphasizing that the core issue is not the age but the spirit of submission. True importance lies in a young person's willingness to obey their parents and elders, which is presented as a foundational act of obedience to God. Ultimately, the speaker advises that obedience to parents should be prioritized, and as an adult, one should then obey scripture independently.

Q10 How Can I Share The Gospel To My Worldly Friends - Sunil Poonen
Sunil Poonen · Aug 25, 2025 · 5m
The speaker addresses the difficulty of sharing the Gospel with worldly friends, emphasizing that God's desire for all to repent is greater than our own. He advises that the most effective way to share faith is not through constant words, but by letting one's life be a visible witness of peace, love, and joy, especially during difficult times. Living with grace, humility, and demonstrating Christ-like character in daily interactions will naturally draw people to ask about your faith.

Q8 How To Balance Studying With Our Spiritual Life - Sunil Poonen
Sunil Poonen · Aug 25, 2025 · 3m 21s
The speaker argues that studying itself can be considered a form of spiritual life, eliminating the need to 'balance' it with other spiritual activities. He emphasizes that all actions—studying, working, sleeping, or reading the Bible—can be spiritual if done heartily as if serving the Lord, rather than for human praise. This perspective encourages viewing all aspects of life as opportunities to be faithful to God.

Q7 How To Build Fellowship With The Teens And Children In Church - Sunil Poonen
Sunil Poonen · Aug 25, 2025 · 3m 20s
To build fellowship with teens and children, the speaker advises that the first step is not discussing biblical topics, but rather becoming a genuine friend to them. This involves actively listening to what interests them—their school, sports, or friends—and meeting them at their level, mirroring how Jesus did. When they see the speaker's love, friendship, kindness, and forgiveness in action, they will naturally become receptive to biblical teachings.

Q4 How To Overcome Discouragement Caused By Parents Comparing The Children - Sunil Poonen
Sunil Poonen · Aug 25, 2025 · 5m
The core message is that discouragement and condemnation are sins to avoid, and true success is measured by faithfulness and obedience to God's calling, not by academic grades. The speaker emphasizes that diligence in obeying parents and studying for the glory of God is paramount, citing Jesus' example of submission to his parents. Ultimately, one should strive to submit to parents, even when disagreeing with them.

Q3 Is It Wrong To Be In A Relationship With The Opposite Sex In Our Youth - Sunil Poonen
Sunil Poonen · Aug 25, 2025 · 6m
The speaker addresses the natural attraction between young men and women, clarifying that the feeling itself is not sin, as it was created by God. The danger lies in how this attraction is perverted by media or allowed to become an idol that consumes one's focus. He strongly advises that the primary focus when attending church must be on the relationship with Jesus, not on finding a romantic partner. Furthermore, he cautions against premature commitment in youth, suggesting that true partnership is divinely provided when one is mature, and the best gift to a future spouse is maintaining 'pure eyes' by exercising self-control now.

God will Enable You To Love Him And To Love Others - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · May 23, 2025 · 1h 6m
The speaker emphasizes that true love for God must be inseparable from love for one's neighbor, viewing these two aspects as the two necessary sides of a single coin. He uses the analogy of a mother's enduring love and references 1 Corinthians 13 and Matthew 22 to argue that a love for Christ that neglects loving fellow believers is a deception. Believers must uphold one another in prayer and share in each other's joys and sorrows.

Bringing Up Our Children In The Fear Of God | தேவனுக்கு பயந்து நம்முடைய பிள்ளைகளை வளர்த்தல் | Victor
Victor · May 22, 2025 · 58m
The sermon emphasizes that raising children in the fear of God requires parents to model godly behavior in their own lives. Key lessons drawn from Abraham's life include prioritizing God above all else, demonstrating righteousness and justice through actions, showing respect to all people (especially elders), and never accepting anything for free. Parents must be visible examples in all areas of life for their children to learn these principles.

Jesus Endured Cross, Shame And Hostility - Victor
Victor · May 22, 2025 · 1h 13m
The speaker emphasizes that church gatherings should not become mere rituals but must genuinely deepen one's relationship with God and lead to spiritual growth. He urges the congregation to focus on Jesus Christ, who endured the cross, shame, and hostility, as the ultimate model for believers. Drawing from Hebrews 12, he contrasts the struggles of old covenant heroes, like Moses, with the perfect example set by Christ, encouraging believers to fix their eyes on Him to endure trials.

Resist Temptations That Come Through Relatives - Abraham Plammootil
Abraham Plammootil · Apr 14, 2025 · 55m
The central message is that discipleship requires prioritizing God's will above all earthly relationships, even those with family. Jesus taught that this 'hating' of relatives is a relative statement, meaning that love for God must be so supreme that it supersedes all other attachments. True connection and blessing come from following God's will, not from fleshly sentiment or familial bonds.

Be Zealous To Love The Lord More Than Your 'SELF' - Santosh Matthew
Santosh Mathew · Apr 14, 2025 · 18m
The central message is the necessity of having a zealous devotion to Christ that surpasses all other earthly attachments. The speaker emphasizes that true discipleship requires not only leaving possessions but also denying oneself, taking up the cross daily, and prioritizing Christ's will over personal ambitions and desires. He uses the examples of Peter's initial zeal and subsequent struggles to illustrate that the deepest commitment is found in self-denial.

Seek To Be A Disciple - John Pereira
John Pereira · Apr 14, 2025 · 52m
The central message is that true spiritual life comes not from mere physical sustenance, but from consistently living by the words of God, as exemplified by Jesus. The speaker emphasizes that being a true disciple requires humility, hunger, and a deep desire to understand God's mysteries, warning that many people, even those who claim to be believers, can miss the point or be deceived if they are not actively pursuing discipleship. Understanding the difference between merely being a 'Christian' and being a true 'disciple' is crucial for spiritual protection.

Zac Poonen · Apr 8, 2025 · 1h 3m
The sermon emphasizes that true Christian life must be rooted first and foremost in love for Jesus Christ, as highlighted in 1 Corinthians 13. The speaker contrasts the superficiality of worldly love with the profound, sacrificial love exemplified by Jesus, who acted out of obedience to the Father's command. Ultimately, following Christ means carrying the cross, which is an act motivated by love for the Father, not by human obligation or perceived need within the local church.

Zeal For The Father's House - Santosh Poonen
Santosh Poonen · Apr 6, 2025 · 54m
The sermon emphasizes that while knowing one has a Father in Heaven is foundational, true spiritual growth requires a 'Zeal for the Father's House.' This zeal, exemplified by Jesus cleansing the temple, is not merely a cozy feeling but a passionate, consuming jealousy for God's name and house. The speaker urges the congregation to move beyond spiritual infancy and demonstrate this zeal by being willing to endure reproach for God's sake.
