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.

What Is Repentance? - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Nov 18, 2024 · 1m 57s
The Apostle Paul preached consistently on two main subjects: repentance toward God and faith in Jesus Christ. True repentance is not merely facing sin while keeping one eye on God; it requires a complete turn away from anything displeasing to God, like the military command 'about turn.'

CFC Messages · Nov 13, 2024 · 51m

Two Parts of the Word of the Cross - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Oct 18, 2024 · 57m
The speaker explains that salvation involves three tenses—past, present, and future—and that the Word of the Cross is central to this process. He argues that the Word of the Cross is considered foolishness by both unbelievers and many believers who are content with a superficial understanding of faith. True salvation requires accepting that Christ's work is sufficient, which means turning from self-centeredness to being God-centered, as exemplified by Jesus' purpose to do the will of the Father.

The Cross Separates Us From The World - Abraham Plammootil
Abraham Plammootil · Oct 1, 2024 · 40m
The central message is that following Christ requires a radical separation from the world's values and desires, symbolized by taking up the cross. This separation is necessary because the world's system—defined by the lust of the flesh, eyes, and pride—is temporary and leads back to dust. True life and victory are found by focusing on God's will through faith, which empowers believers to resist the strong pull of worldly attachments.

Annie Poonen · Mar 25, 2024 · 1h 25m

Realizing Our True Purpose | 3. OUR RESPONSE TO GOD | ದೇವರಿಗೆ ನಮ್ಮ ಪ್ರತಿಕ್ರಿಯೆ | Santosh Poonen
Santosh Poonen · Mar 15, 2024 · 19m
The core message is that while God has provided the solution to sin through Jesus, receiving that salvation requires a conscious response from the individual. This response involves three key actions: honestly admitting sin and the need for salvation, repenting by deciding to turn away from sin toward Jesus, and having faith by believing in and accepting Christ's saving work. True transformation comes from God replacing our 'stony heart' with a new, clean heart through the Holy Spirit.

The central message is that having the fear of God is essential for navigating life's dangers, which are compared to snares, nets, and chains. The speaker emphasizes that this fear acts like a spiritual sense, allowing one to detect worldly temptations, flattery, and sin. By maintaining a fear of God, believers can escape the traps set by the world's pleasures, riches, and honors, as exemplified by Joseph's faithfulness.

Child, Servant Or Son - Sunil Poonen
Sunil Poonen · Jan 18, 2024 · 43m
The speaker argues that proving God's existence through science is futile and distracts from true faith. Instead, he encourages people to follow Jesus' example by simply 'coming and seeing' His life, which demonstrates complete dependence on God's grace. He emphasizes that Jesus' unique attributes—being the Redeemer who sacrifices personally and the perfect example of human weakness dependent on the Father—are unmatched by other faiths.

Words to Young People - Charles Banna
Charles Banna · Dec 18, 2023 · 56m
The speaker addresses young people struggling with feelings of inferiority, noting that self-help books often fail because they focus on self-assertion rather than divine truth.

The core solution to comparison and feelings of inadequacy is shifting focus from pleasing people to seeking the approval of God, as exemplified by Paul's commitment to Christ.
