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.

Zac Poonen · Jul 17, 2026 · 15m

The speaker emphasizes that our focus should be on Christ's service rather than internal competition.

The Importance Of Godly Authority For Every Teenager -Sunil Poonen (Teens Meeting-7th February 2026)
Sunil Poonen · Feb 25, 2026 · 30m
The speaker emphasizes the vital importance of submitting to godly authority, drawing personal examples of past conflict and realizing the wisdom in obedience. He warns that the greatest danger in the last days is not external turmoil, but the internal war against self-will, leading to a mere 'form of godliness.' True freedom and rest are found by taking Jesus' yoke, which requires learning humility and submission to God's established authority.

“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.

God Rewards Small Acts of Service - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Nov 17, 2025 · 12m
The sermon emphasizes that God rewards small, humble acts of service, drawing parallels from the Old Testament accounts of Bezalel and the support given to Moses during battle. The speaker encourages the congregation to focus on these simple acts—like holding up a hand in prayer or helping a child—rather than seeking recognition for grand feats. 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.

Dead Works And The New Covenant | ನಿರ್ಜೀವ ಕಾರ್ಯಗಳು ಮತ್ತು ಹೊಸ ಒಡಂಬಡಿಕೆ | Zac Poonen | Kannada
Zac Poonen · Sep 15, 2025 · 1h 45m

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.

John Pereira · Apr 20, 2025 · 50m
The central message is the necessity of guarding one's heart and boldness against the enemy's attacks.

Santosh Mathew · Apr 14, 2025 · 18m
The central message is the necessity of having a zealous devotion to Christ that surpasses all other earthly attachments.

John Pereira · Apr 14, 2025 · 52m
The central message is that true spiritual life comes not from mere physical sustenance, but from consistently living by the words of God, as exemplified by Jesus.

Enduring To The End - In Faithfulness And Goodness - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jan 22, 2025 · 26m
The speaker emphasizes that God's work should be done quietly, like a negative kept in a darkroom, awaiting the time of Christ's return rather than being advertised. He encourages the audience to live faithfully in their daily roles—such as parents raising godly children—and to practice humility by giving up judgment, trusting that God is the only judge. 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. The speaker cautions against misinterpreting scripture, stressing that understanding God's word requires comparing different passages. Ultimately, true strength and victory over Satan come not from personal power, but from relying on the name of Jesus Christ, which empowers believers to stand against spiritual opposition.

Q&A_7.I am insecure about my looks. Either God could've created me fair-skinned.....Why like this?
Sunil Poonen · Nov 21, 2024 · 4m 33s
The speaker addresses insecurity regarding physical appearance, using scripture to redirect the focus from outward looks to inner character. He cites Song of Solomon 4:7, which declares someone 'altogether beautiful' in God's view, and 1 Peter 3:4, emphasizing that true, lasting beauty comes from a gentle and quiet spirit. The central message is that the world's standards of beauty are flawed and should not dictate self-worth; instead, believers should find their beauty defined by their inner spirit.
