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.

Controlling Our Tongue | ನಮ್ಮ ನಾಲಿಗೆಯನ್ನು ನಿಯಂತ್ರಿಸುವುದು | Zac Poonen | Kannada
Zac Poonen · Apr 22, 2026 · 1h 43m
The sermon emphasizes the need for balance in all areas of life, warning against neglecting the most important aspects of faith for minor details. Drawing parallels to biblical warnings, the speaker stresses that true spiritual growth involves moving forward in maturity rather than stagnating in past achievements. A major focus is on the need to guard the tongue, as leakage in speech can drain spiritual power and lead to a life burdened by inconsistency.

Understanding God's Ways - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Feb 11, 2026 · 55m
The speaker emphasizes that the most crucial element in gathering together for worship is the state of the heart, not the performance of singing or knowledge of scripture. He stresses that true spiritual reception comes from confessing known sins and maintaining a heart filled only with love toward everyone, as grudges block hearing God's word. The ultimate goal of gathering is heart transformation, not merely accumulating information.

2.The Holy Spirit Works Inside Us | 2.ಪವಿತ್ರಾತ್ಮನು ನಮ್ಮ ಒಳಗೆ ಕಾರ್ಯ ಮಾಡುತ್ತಾನೆ | Zac Poonen | Kannada
Zac Poonen · Dec 29, 2025 · 50m
The sermon contrasts the Old Covenant, which relied on external laws given on stone tablets, with the New Covenant, where God writes His laws internally in the heart and mind. The speaker emphasizes that the true measure of Christian life is not adherence to external rules or impressive church activities (like music or elaborate services), but rather the purity and holiness imparted by the Holy Spirit. This internal transformation, which surpasses the Old Covenant, is the essence of the New Covenant.

1.First Make The Inside Clean | 1.ಮೊದಲು ಒಳಬಾಗವನ್ನು ಶುಚಿಮಾಡು | Zac Poonen | Kannada
Zac Poonen · Dec 28, 2025 · 56m
The central message emphasizes that true holiness must come from within, contrasting outward displays of piety with genuine inner transformation. The speaker argues that self-proclaimed holiness or religious performance is insufficient; true purity is like a light that cannot be covered by darkness. He stresses that genuine holiness is a continuous work of the Spirit, which builds up rather than merely being a temporary display, and that the Holy Spirit's primary gift is holiness itself.

The True Grace Of God | ದೇವರ ನಿಜವಾದ ಕೃಪೆ | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Dec 6, 2025 · 2h 7m
The central message contrasts living by outward appearance versus living by inner truth, drawing from John 1:17. The speaker emphasizes that true Christian life requires the inner self to align with the outer life, a reality impossible under the Old Covenant but possible through the grace of Jesus Christ. He warns against hypocrisy, urging believers to confront their inner sinfulness rather than merely performing piety.

The True Grace Of God | The Missing Messages In Today's Christianity | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Nov 17, 2025 · 57m
The central message is that true Christian life requires the inner reality to match the outward appearance, a concept of 'living the truth.' This truth, realized through Jesus Christ, is superior to the external adherence to law. The speaker warns against hypocrisy, emphasizing that while one should confess sins only to God, one must never pretend to be okay or spiritual when one is not, as pretense leads to spiritual danger.

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.

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.

New-Covenant Fasting | ಹೊಸ ಒಡಂಬಡಿಕೆಯ ಉಪವಾಸ | Zac Poonen | Kannada
Zac Poonen · Sep 15, 2025 · 43m
The sermon emphasizes that fasting should be done for the heart's desire to see God's glory, not for public display. Drawing from Matthew 6, the speaker stresses that God sees the inner disposition, not just outward acts. Furthermore, fasting is presented as a discipline that helps overcome the enslavement to physical desires, both regarding food and sexual intimacy, leading to a life focused on Christ.

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.

Zac Poonen · Jul 30, 2025 · 1h 0m
The sermon emphasizes the need for spiritual balance, warning against neglecting the weightier matters of the law (like justice and mercy) in favor of minor observances.

Zac Poonen · Jul 30, 2025 · 58m
The speaker encourages establishing a daily habit of waking up and asking God to open the heart to listen to His voice, referencing Isaiah 50:4.

Warnings And Challenges To Love God Supremely - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · May 21, 2025 · 59m
The sermon warns believers about the danger of their initial fervor for Christ cooling over time, which is evidenced by a diminished seriousness toward sin. The speaker emphasizes that true endurance in love until the end requires actively rejecting the love of the world, as this love is incompatible with the love of the Father. He urges the congregation to guard their hearts against worldly distractions, including sin, lust, and the pursuit of money.

Yielding Our Body And Its Passions Fully To The Lord - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Apr 20, 2025 · 53m
The sermon uses the Israelites' failure to enter the Promised Land of Canaan as an allegory for believers who fail to overcome sin. The speaker emphasizes that true Christian victory requires yielding the entire body and all its passions to the Lord, just as the body belongs completely to Christ. Failing to surrender one's body and desires to Christ, even while professing faith, is likened to a spiritual prostitution or a marriage where the heart is given but the body is withheld.

Overcomers Judge Themselves Daily - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Feb 26, 2025 · 46m
The central message is that true spiritual progress requires daily self-examination, a practice likened to judging oneself daily. The speaker warns against the tendency to judge others, instead encouraging believers to learn from the mistakes of others while focusing on personal growth. This daily self-judgment is presented as a mark of the true family of God, leading to continuous spiritual advancement.

Learning To Fear God | ದೇವರ ಭಯವನ್ನು ಕಲಿಯುವುದು | Zac Poonen | Kannada
Zac Poonen · Nov 27, 2024 · 56m
The speaker emphasizes that God desires His people to be holy, comparing spiritual growth to education where one should strive for the highest level possible. He draws a parallel between the desire for academic degrees and the pursuit of holiness, noting that while physical or financial struggles draw believers back to God, the pursuit of holiness requires a deliberate effort. Ultimately, achieving this spiritual maturity is achieved through 'the fear of God.'

The Father Is Eagerly Seeking For True Worshippers - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Nov 20, 2024 · 8m
The central message is that God eagerly seeks true worshippers who worship Him in spirit and truth, rather than merely going through the motions in church. The speaker emphasizes that genuine worship involves a deep, heartfelt desire to satisfy God's heart, comparing this to the devotion shown by David's soldiers. Ultimately, the goal should be to be a devoted worshipper first, rather than focusing on being a preacher.

You Want Blessing Or More Blessing? - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Nov 15, 2024 · 16m
The speaker emphasizes that while it is natural to always want to receive, true spiritual fulfillment comes from giving. Drawing from Paul's example in Ephesus and Jesus' teaching, he stresses that it is more blessed to give than to receive. To receive more from God, believers must first develop the habit of giving what they have been blessed with, whether it is spiritual knowledge or practical wisdom.

Some Practical Instructions For A Godly Life - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Nov 15, 2024 · 1h 14m
The speaker emphasizes that a godly life requires constant vigilance, as standards of faith tend to lower over time, necessitating continuous teaching. He draws from Acts 20, noting that Paul focused on how he lived among the elders rather than just what he preached, emphasizing selfless living and the blessing of giving. Ultimately, the message warns against the insatiable desires of things like the grave, the barren womb, the earth, and fire, urging a focus on giving rather than receiving.

2.How Jesus Lived On Earth | The Real Jesus | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Oct 4, 2024 · 1h 18m
The speaker contrasts the self-seeking nature of Adam's life with the selfless nature of Jesus Christ's holiness. True holiness, according to Jesus, is not merely adhering to rules but is characterized by a deep concern for the spiritual needs of others. He emphasizes that genuine spiritual understanding comes from diligent study of the scriptures, as a veil over the heart prevents one from seeing the truth, which is removed only by turning to the Lord.

Sanctification | 3. A Disciplined Body - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Sep 4, 2024 · 1h 0m
The central message is that true sanctification requires the Spirit to be primary, guiding the soul (mind, emotions, will) and body. The speaker emphasizes that prayer is primarily about listening to the Holy Spirit, rather than just speaking. He warns against allowing the soul's intellect or emotions to become self-sufficient, advocating instead for constant dependence on the Spirit, symbolized by the Tree of Life.

Sanctification | 2. A Renewed Soul - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Sep 3, 2024 · 51m
The central message is that true sanctification requires the renewal of the mind, as detailed in Romans 12:2. Transformation into the likeness of Christ is God's ultimate purpose for humanity, not merely salvation or service. This transformation must be internal, flowing from the 'innermost being,' and involves actively taking every thought captive to the obedience of Christ to combat worldly thinking patterns.

Our Kingdom Is Not Of This World - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Sep 3, 2024 · 1h 2m
The speaker emphasizes that true Christian teaching must lead to a 'hygienic' spiritual life, meaning freedom from the 'germs' of sin, rather than merely focusing on impressive technology or eloquence. He warns against false doctrines, particularly those that teach that Christianity is a means to make money, arguing that such teachings are spiritually unclean. The core message is to prioritize genuine godliness and repentance over worldly gain or intellectual debate.
