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.

God Makes Every Moment Have Eternal Value - Santosh Poonen (Brothers Meeting)
Santosh Poonen · Mar 31, 2026 · 48m
The speaker emphasizes that eternal reward is not determined by outward ministry or visible achievements, but by faithfully doing the will of the Father. He encourages the audience to run their Christian lives with a clear aim, using the analogy of boxing with a target rather than just beating the air. True discipline involves mastering one's body, finances, time, and desires to ensure one is not disqualified.

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.

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.

Santosh Poonen · Mar 27, 2025 · 57m
The speaker emphasizes that failure, disappointment, and loss are powerful catalysts for drawing one closer to the Lord, citing the Prodigal Son as an example. He advises believers to fix their minds on heavenly things by truly desiring nothing on earth except God, which requires a willingness to surrender control, similar to Abraham's willingness to sacrifice Isaac. Finally, he encourages reliance on God's will, drawing a parallel to Jesus' focused life of rest and purpose.

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.

Santosh Poonen · Jun 19, 2024 · 19m
The sermon emphasizes that while forgiveness from Christ is crucial, believers must also address the lingering 'sin attraction' within.

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.

Realizing Our True Purpose | 2.God's Solution In Jesus | ಯೇಸುವಿನಲ್ಲಿ ದೇವರ ಸಹಾಯ | Santosh Poonen
Santosh Poonen · Dec 18, 2023 · 21m
The central message is that human efforts to atone for sin through good deeds are insufficient because they cannot meet God's standard of perfection. The only solution is the perfect sacrifice of Jesus Christ, who lived a sinless life and died for our sins. Through His death and resurrection, God not only forgives us (justification) but also defeats death and the devil, offering us eternal life.

Realizing Our True Purpose | 1. Our Problem of Sin | ನಮ್ಮ ಪಾಪದ ಸಮಸ್ಯೆ | Santosh Poonen | Kannada
Santosh Poonen · Nov 22, 2023 · 18m
The core message is that human life on Earth is merely preparation for eternity, which is the ultimate 'job' or exam. God created humanity in His image so we could share in His nature, but sin—defined as choosing our own way over God's—broke this fellowship. Since all have sinned, we are all guilty, and the punishment is separation from God, making understanding this sinfulness crucial before hearing the good news.

Santosh Poonen · Sep 15, 2023 · 10m
The central message is that true Christian life requires more than just forgiveness; it demands a transformation to resist the attraction of sin, which is the root problem of the soul. This transformation is achieved not through personal effort, but through the power of the Holy Spirit dwelling within, enabling believers to live as Christ lives through them. Furthermore, believers are called to persevere through failure, get back up, and use the Bible to grow while sharing the good news with others.

Santosh Poonen · Sep 15, 2023 · 11m
The central message is that humanity is separated from God by sin, and good deeds cannot atone for it.

Santosh Poonen · Sep 15, 2023 · 9m
The speaker argues that human life on Earth is merely a preparation for eternity, comparing it to a single, irreversible entrance exam. He explains that humanity was made in God's image to share in His nature, but sin—defined as choosing one's own way over God's—broke this fellowship. Because all have sinned, the consequence is separation from God, making understanding this spiritual reality crucial before hearing the good news.
