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.

What It Means to Be Truly Spiritual - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jul 30, 2026 · 15m
The central message is that true spiritual depth requires diligently searching into the hidden truths of Scripture, much like mining for gold. Superficial understanding leads to falling away, whereas deep study fosters a profound relationship with God. The speaker emphasizes moving beyond mere intellectual knowledge to allow the Word to penetrate and divide between the soul (mind/feelings) and the spirit.

True Riches And Wise Fathers | ನಿಜವಾದ ಐಶ್ವರ್ಯ ಹಾಗೂ ಜ್ಞಾನಿಗಳಾದ ತಂದೆಗಳು | Zac Poonen | Kannada
Zac Poonen · Jul 17, 2026 · 35m
The sermon emphasizes the need for believers to be diligent in examining their inner lives, comparing it to how carefully we tend to our physical bodies, especially our eyes. True riches are identified as conforming to Christ's likeness, receiving the anointing of the Holy Spirit (which should be sought daily), and having revelation from Scripture that surpasses mere intellectual understanding.

True Riches and Wise Fathers - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jul 17, 2026 · 19m
The speaker urges believers to maintain spiritual diligence by examining their inward life, comparing it to the care taken for physical wounds. He emphasizes that true understanding of scripture and God's word comes from personal faithfulness, not merely attending services or listening to others. The core message identifies three 'true riches'—likeness to Christ, the anointing of the Holy Spirit, and revelation on scripture—which are attained through faithfulness, even in handling material wealth.

A Disciplined Life | ಶಿಸ್ತುಬದ್ಧ ಜೀವನ | Zac Poonen | Kannada
Zac Poonen · May 2, 2026 · 49m
Zac Poonen calls believers to enter the new year with a disciplined life, noting that God has given a spirit of power, love, and discipline (2 Timothy 1:7) rather than fear or laziness. He focuses on two key areas requiring discipline: the use of time—urging believers to redeem it (Ephesians 5:15-16) by, for example, spending 15 minutes daily in Scripture study—and the use of money, exhorting faithful stewardship, avoiding waste, staying out of unnecessary debt, and living within one's means as a test of faithfulness that opens the way to true spiritual riches.

A Disciplined Life | Following Christ In The New Year | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Apr 23, 2026 · 31m
The speaker urges listeners to evaluate their lives as the new year approaches, emphasizing that spiritual growth requires discipline, not just reading the Bible or feeling the Holy Spirit. He stresses that time is the most valuable, non-renewable resource, urging believers to be wise with their 24 hours each day. The central message is to make the most of the time God has given, as wasting it is something even God cannot restore.

The Wise Woman | ಜ್ಞಾನವುಳ್ಳ ಸ್ತ್ರೀ | Annie Poonen | Kannada
Annie Poonen · Sep 17, 2025 · 9m
The sermon contrasts worldly knowledge with divine wisdom, emphasizing that true wisdom comes from God through obedience and submission to His will.

This obedience is key to building up both the home and the church.

Q9 How To Know When God Is Speaking To Me From The Bible - Sunil Poonen
Sunil Poonen · Aug 25, 2025 · 6m
The speaker advises that true divine guidance from Scripture is characterized by a peace that cannot be explained, convicting the listener of sin, and inviting them toward repentance and a higher calling. He emphasizes that Scripture acts as a light and nourishment, building up rather than tearing down. Ultimately, knowing God's will involves renewing the mind by consistently reading and memorizing the Word, which, like a sharp sword, separates worldly feelings from spiritual truth.

Q8 How To Balance Studying With Our Spiritual Life - Sunil Poonen
Sunil Poonen · Aug 25, 2025 · 3m 21s
The speaker argues that studying itself can be considered a form of spiritual life, eliminating the need to 'balance' it with other spiritual activities. He emphasizes that all actions—studying, working, sleeping, or reading the Bible—can be spiritual if done heartily as if serving the Lord, rather than for human praise. This perspective encourages viewing all aspects of life as opportunities to be faithful to God.

The Truth Will Set You Free (Part 1) - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jul 30, 2025 · 45m
The central message is that true freedom comes from knowing the full spectrum of truth, which is likened to white light. The speaker draws parallels between the emancipation of slaves and the greater proclamation of freedom through Jesus Christ's sacrifice on Calvary. He emphasizes that believers must study scripture, particularly the full scope of the Gospel, to overcome the bondage of guilt and sin, which Satan attempts to maintain.

What It Means To Be Truly Spiritual - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jul 30, 2025 · 15m
The speaker emphasizes that the most valuable truths in scripture are often concealed, requiring diligent searching rather than remaining on the surface. He urges listeners to seek God deeply, comparing superficial study to only getting the surface fruit instead of valuable gold. True spiritual depth involves understanding the difference between the soul (mind/feelings) and the spirit, which is pierced by the living word of God.

Vincent · May 22, 2025 · 1h 3m

Do Not Be Deceived - Charles Banna
Charles Banna · Apr 14, 2025 · 1h 1m
Jesus warned his disciples to be careful that no one misleads them regarding the signs of his coming. The speaker cautions that modern Christianity has compromised the pure gospel by adopting doctrines like the gospel of prosperity, leading people astray. True discernment requires diligently studying the Bible and remaining dependent on the Holy Spirit to distinguish the authentic teaching from false doctrines.

Those To Whom God Gives Revelation - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Dec 13, 2024 · 16m
The speaker compares Moses to a 'new covenant person' living in old covenant times, arguing that true spiritual understanding requires receiving divine revelation, which elevates one beyond mere intellectual knowledge. He cites Moses' humility (Numbers 12:3) as the reason God granted him such revelation. Furthermore, true revelation changes one's priorities, causing a rejection of worldly honor, the pleasures of sin, and material wealth, leading instead to a willingness to suffer with God's people.

Dangers Of Wealth And Comfort - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Dec 10, 2024 · 1h 10m
The speaker emphasizes that human life is sustained not by material comfort or abundance, but by the Word of God. Drawing from Deuteronomy 8, he explains that God uses periods of hardship, like the wilderness, to humble us and test our commitment to His commandments. The ultimate lesson is that we must continually draw spiritual sustenance from scripture to avoid becoming complacent or forgetting God's teachings when prosperity arrives.

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.'

Zac Poonen · Nov 27, 2024 · 55m
The central message is that God honors those who honor Him, contrasting worldly measures of honor (like money or political power) with God's true standards.

Believers must actively honor God to receive His blessing and recognition.

Sunil Poonen · Nov 22, 2024 · 2m 34s
The speaker addresses the apparent contradiction between God's omniscience and human free will, using analogies to explain that human logic cannot fully grasp God's nature. He explains that God foresees our choices—like watching a video replay—but does not interfere with our free will. God granted free will so that humanity could experience genuine love and choice, which is more valuable to Him than perfect, robotic obedience.

The speaker advises moving beyond merely reading the Bible to truly meditating on its content to allow it to change one's life. He encourages readers to approach scripture with the intention of seeking specific guidance from God for that day, rather than just completing a chapter.

Sunil Poonen · Nov 21, 2024 · 1m 59s
The speaker advises against trying to manufacture spirituality, emphasizing instead the pursuit of the spirit's liberty. True spiritual acts are found in daily life—such as serving at home or helping siblings—rather than solely in reading the Bible. Reading the Bible should be viewed as studying for an exam, preparing one to actively participate in real-life opportunities to serve and be unselfish.
