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.

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.

Seek To Have A Shepherd's Heart In The Church - Santosh Poonen
Santosh Poonen · Nov 14, 2024 · 15m
The central message is that Christian life requires having the heart of a shepherd—a deep, active care for the needs of others, rather than focusing on personal comfort or status. Jesus felt compassion for the crowds, and this compassion should motivate believers to serve others, even if it involves inconvenience. True membership is demonstrated by this selfless care and willingness to minister to those in need.

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.

The Congregation, The Club And The Church - Santosh Poonen
Santosh Poonen · Aug 22, 2018 · 58m
The speaker emphasizes that building the church requires a radical, sacrificial commitment, likened to shedding every layer of the 'old wineskin.' True Christian life, according to the speaker, must be rooted first in an unadulterated love and obedience to the Father. This foundational relationship with God (the vertical beam of the cross) must precede and motivate all love for people or ministry (the horizontal beam).

The Path To Perfection - Santosh Poonen
Santosh Poonen · Aug 20, 2014 · 20m
The speaker explores the book of Hebrews, noting its systematic exaltation of Jesus Christ as the forerunner into the new covenant. He emphasizes that the greatest pursuit in Christian life is Jesus himself, rather than other spiritual gifts or knowledge. The book builds to the conclusion that the most precious reality is the body of Christ—the local church—where believers find the presence of Jesus.
