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.

Understand And Appreciate Your Wife - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Mar 31, 2026 · 10m
The central message is that a husband's attitude toward his wife directly impacts his ability to pray, as highlighted in 1 Peter 3:7. Husbands must understand their wives are weaker vessels and treat them with honor, while also recognizing them as fellow heirs. Genuine appreciation for one's wife must be expressed sincerely, even when she is not present to hear it.

New-Covenant Fasting - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Sep 15, 2025 · 20m
Jesus taught that when fasting, the focus should be on the inner attitude and motive, not the external action, unlike the old covenant. Fasting is presented as a response to a deep burden for God's name to be glorified, but it is also a valuable discipline that helps free us from the slavery of food and builds self-control. Ultimately, the ability to fast and pray effectively is linked to having sufficient faith, as demonstrated by Jesus's power over the demons in Matthew 17.

Ultimately, the message stresses that listening to God's word is the most needful priority, even above service.

How Long Should I Pray? - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Nov 21, 2024 · 4m 9s
The speaker addresses the question of how long one should pray, referencing Luke 18:1, which teaches that believers must pray all the time and not lose heart. He clarifies that praying 24 hours does not mean being on one's knees constantly, but rather maintaining a heart and mind that is always open to hearing what the Lord is saying throughout the day, using the analogy of an always-open police radio.

This Habit Changed My Life From Last 65 Years - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Nov 18, 2024 · 13m
The central message is the necessity of maintaining a constant, open heart to God's word, drawing parallels from Ephesians 2 and Isaiah 50. The speaker emphasizes that the key to a fulfilling Christian life is making time every morning, even just a few minutes, to intentionally listen to Jesus and God's guidance before starting daily activities. This practice of constant receptivity is presented as the highest standard of Christian living, superior to merely accumulating hours of prayer.

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.

Look Upward, Then Inward, Then Outward - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Dec 27, 2023 · 47m
The sermon advises believers to reorient their focus by prioritizing worship over service, drawing parallels from the angels' wings and Jesus' teachings. The speaker emphasizes that true worship involves heartfelt devotion to God, as exemplified by the woman in Samaria, and that this foundational worship must precede any form of service for it to be effective. He urges the audience to begin their day by focusing on their heavenly Father rather than immediate earthly needs.

The Importance Of Giving Thanks To God Always - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Dec 12, 2023 · 1h 16m
The speaker emphasizes that true eternal life is not merely living forever, but rather possessing a portion of God's own life, which has no beginning or end. He stresses that knowing God personally is far more vital than merely knowing Bible verses, urging listeners to treat prophetic words like homework—requiring repetition and application—to truly internalize them. The ultimate goal of Christian life should be getting to know Jesus, as defined in John 17:3.

God Gives Wisdom For Raising Children - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Sep 8, 2023 · 25m
The speaker compares the natural tendency to only engage with adults to the Pharisees, suggesting that a true measure of Christ-likeness is showing genuine interest in children. He draws parallels between the Israelites' backsliding and the church's decline, emphasizing that God often uses humble, unexpected sources—like a baby—to deliver His people. The sermon concludes by stressing that true prayer is an expression of helpless dependence on God, exemplified by the parents of the man of God, and advises mothers to model submission to their husbands.

In Everything Give Thanks - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Aug 31, 2023 · 44m
The speaker emphasizes that a major sin is complaining, citing Deuteronomy 28 to warn that a lack of joy in serving God leads to hardship. He contrasts this with the example of Jehoshaphat, who, instead of fighting a massive enemy force, had his people praise the Lord first, leading to victory. The core message is that true faith, characteristic of the New Covenant, means praising God *before* seeing the answer, trusting in Christ's victory over Satan.

The Apostles Whom Jesus Chose - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Aug 24, 2023 · 1h 21m
The sermon encourages listeners to overcome discouragement by studying the example of Jesus choosing the twelve apostles. The central message is that major life decisions, especially those with long-term consequences, require deep reliance on God's will rather than personal opinion or reason. The speaker emphasizes that true wisdom involves waiting on the Lord through extended prayer, mirroring Jesus' example, and trusting God's sovereignty even when others are offended.

Lessons from the life of Hannah - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Apr 18, 2023 · 5m
The life of Hannah illustrates that when barren women sought God in intense prayer, God fulfilled their needs, as seen with Samuel's birth. The key lesson is that true breakthrough occurs when our focus shifts from our personal needs to God's greater purpose. Hannah's prayer evolved from asking for a son to dedicating him entirely to the Lord's service, which was crucial for restoring Israel.

Christ Must Increase And I Must Decrease - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Mar 2, 2023 · 46m
The speaker emphasizes that God has a perfect plan for our lives, citing examples like the invention of Zoom during the pandemic to illustrate His providence. A core message revolves around the necessity of shepherds in the church, drawing from Matthew 9:36, stating that compassion is the primary requirement for leadership. He urges believers to pray for God to send shepherds, as the harvest (people) is plentiful, but the workers (shepherds) are few.

Faith To Obtain God's Promises - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Oct 31, 2022 · 49m
The central message is that God promises to supply all our needs according to His riches in glory through Christ, but this does not mean He will give us everything we want. When facing uncertainty or lack of wisdom, believers are encouraged to ask God generously, remembering that He never scolds. Furthermore, accessing this provision requires humility and faith, trusting God completely rather than doubting His care.

Servant Session | 2. The Lord Encourages Us Constantly - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Oct 27, 2022 · 1h 11m
The speaker discusses how discouragement is a sin because it implies God does not care, and he shares how praying in unknown tongues helped him overcome it. He emphasizes that every spiritual gift has a proper place for use, citing Jesus' ministry as an example: the need was not the call to act. Instead, the guiding principle for action must be fulfilling the will of the one who sent you, rather than reacting solely to perceived needs.

Zac Poonen · Sep 27, 2021 · 4m 6s
