Faith That Works Through Love -- Zac Poonen -- December 2, 2020
Zac Poonen · Dec 5, 2020 · 53m
The core message is that the Christian life must be founded on genuine repentance—a complete 180-degree turn away from self-worship toward God. While faith in Jesus is crucial, the emphasis on faith alone has caused many to neglect repentance. True repentance means identifying and being willing to give up every sin and self-will that displeases God, not just believing in Jesus for salvation from sin.

The central message is a warning against placing ultimate trust in anything created by human hands, such as wealth, technology, or military strength, because these things are ultimately futile.

The Everlasting Gospel: Fear God -- Olu Talabi -- November 8, 2020
Olu Talabi · Nov 10, 2020 · 41m

The Spirit of Sacrifice and Service (Message to Women) -- Annie Poonen -- October 21, 2020
Annie Poonen · Oct 22, 2020 · 28m
The speaker draws lessons from the biblical story of the widow of Zarephath, whom God commanded to care for the prophet Elijah during a severe drought. She exemplified profound unselfishness by immediately prioritizing the prophet's needs over her own last meal. The speaker applies this to modern life, emphasizing that true faith involves a spirit of sacrifice, obedience, and willingness to serve others without expecting personal reward.

Even Jesus Lived by Faith -- Santosh Poonen -- October 18, 2020
Santosh Poonen · Oct 19, 2020 · 59m
The central message is that true discipleship means living a life that naturally draws others to Christ, making one a 'fisher of men' through one's life, not just through preaching. The speaker emphasizes that the call to follow Jesus is simple, like being washed clean, and warns that the greatest blasphemy for a Christian is unbelief. He concludes by urging believers to continually encourage one another to guard against an 'evil unbelieving heart.'

Two Levels of Faith in the Christian Life -- Zac Poonen -- October 7, 2020
Zac Poonen · Oct 8, 2020 · 1h 2m
The sermon contrasts two levels of Christian life: merely having 'life' versus possessing 'abundant life.' Drawing from Revelation and John's Gospel, the speaker emphasizes that believers must strive to be 'overcomers' rather than settling for a comfortable, superficial faith within a good church. He warns that remaining spiritually immature, like a baby, manifests as jealousy and strife, urging the congregation to press toward spiritual maturity.

Zac Poonen · Sep 6, 2020 · 1h 1m
The speaker emphasizes that all scripture is profitable, and believers are called to be witnesses not only with words but through their entire lives, even when alone. He argues that the ultimate witness is to God, not just to people, citing Job as an example.

From God, Through God and To God - Zac Poonen - September 2, 2020
Zac Poonen · Sep 3, 2020 · 49m
The central message is that true Christian life requires a deep, settled assurance of God's intense, loving fatherhood, which is the foundation of faith. The speaker emphasizes that mere knowledge or explanation of God's love is insufficient; one must experience it as a revelation through the Holy Spirit to overcome the 'orphan spirit' of doubt. This rootedness in God's love is necessary for all other aspects of Christian living, including discipline and ability to love others.

The speaker contrasts worrying about future concerns with choosing to praise God regardless of circumstances, citing examples like Joshua and Caleb and Paul in prison.

Santosh Poonen · Aug 10, 2020 · 53m
The speaker encourages deep, personal study of scripture rather than relying solely on sermons. He emphasizes that true faith requires actively engaging with God's Word, using tools like concordances to explore context.

Ajay Chakravarthy · Jul 5, 2020 · 33m

Santosh Poonen · Jun 28, 2020 · 48m
The sermon emphasizes that the 'crown of life' is reserved for those who love God and endure temptation or trial. True spiritual growth requires more than emotional responses at meetings; it demands consistent endurance.

The Dangers of Unbelief - Olu Talabi - June 21, 2020
CFC Messages · Jun 22, 2020 · 37m
The speaker warns against the subtle danger of unbelief, which is defined not as doubting Christ's work, but doubting God's promises and words concerning one's life. Drawing parallels from David's self-despair before God's promises were fulfilled, the message emphasizes that those who walk with Jesus and keep His commandments can be certain that God's Word concerning them will come to pass, regardless of current difficulties.
