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.

Zac Poonen · Jul 17, 2026 · 15m

“When I Am Right, I Can Be Wrong” - An Article Explained By Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Dec 26, 2025 · 11m
The central message is that while being factually correct is not inherently wrong, adopting an attitude of superiority over others, even when you are right, breaks your fellowship with God. True Christian living requires humility, giving all credit for good qualities to God, and loving one's neighbor as oneself, even when they are wrong. The speaker emphasizes that love does not rejoice in unrighteousness, and we must always approach others with respect, remembering our shared status as creatures before God.

Ultimately, the message urges believers to persevere in doing good works, knowing that sowing to the Spirit yields eternal life, as stated in Galatians 6:8-10.

He warns against falling into the extremes of legalism or worldly indulgence, stressing that the path of truth is narrow.

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.

Ultimately, the message centers on the profound truth that God loves believers as much as He loved Jesus Christ.

Wisdom Is More Than Knowledge | ಜ್ಞಾನವು ತಿಳುವಳಿಕೆಗಿಂತ ಹೆಚ್ಚಿನದು | Zac Poonen | Kannada
Zac Poonen · Dec 31, 2024 · 1h 4m
The sermon emphasizes that divine wisdom is superior to mere knowledge or understanding, drawing parallels between building a house and filling it with furniture. True wisdom, exemplified by the tax collector in the parable, comes from recognizing one's spiritual poverty and relying entirely on God's grace rather than self-effort or accumulated knowledge. The speaker urges the congregation to prioritize seeking wisdom over accumulating knowledge, as pride in one's own understanding can be dangerous.

The Importance of Dying to Our Own Will - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Dec 31, 2024 · 59m
The central message is that true spirituality is not found in mere knowledge, emotional excitement, or eloquent preaching, but in the daily yielding and denial of one's own will to God's will. The speaker warns against the deception of confusing intellectual understanding or emotional fervor with genuine spiritual life. True discipleship requires living out the will of the Father in all aspects of daily life, not just during church services.

No Partiality With God | ದೇವರಲ್ಲಿ ಪಕ್ಷಪಾತವಿಲ್ಲ | Zac Poonen | Kannada
Zac Poonen · Nov 27, 2024 · 56m
The central message is that God shows no partiality, treating everyone according to the same divine laws. True honor comes not from spectacular miracles or visible ministry, but from possessing God's character and humility in one's daily life. Believers should focus on emulating Christ's character and service rather than imitating the ministry or perceived status of other leaders.

Zac Poonen · Nov 27, 2024 · 55m
The sermon emphasizes that God gives grace to the humble, drawing parallels from both the Old and New Testaments.

Zac Poonen · Oct 4, 2024 · 1h 8m
The speaker critiques common theological errors found in some Christian teachings, such as misinterpreting 'grace' or attributing titles like 'Rose of Sharon' to Jesus. He emphasizes that true understanding requires careful study of scripture, distinguishing between concepts like grace and mercy. The central message is that reality—living in alignment with what is true in one's inner life—is only possible through Christ, and our greatest need is not material wealth but the ability to obey God.

God's Ways Are Totally Different From Our Ways - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jun 12, 2024 · 59m
The central message is that God's ways and thoughts are fundamentally different from human understanding, as illustrated by Isaiah 55:8-9. The speaker encourages listeners to accept this mystery rather than questioning God's timing or methods, even when prayers seem unanswered.
