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.

Two Warnings for Us From the Future — Ajay Chakravarthy — September 28, 2025
Ajay Chakravarthy · Sep 29, 2025 · 51m
The speaker uses parables from John 5 and Luke 13 to emphasize that Jesus has the power to free people from long-standing sin and hopelessness, just as He did for the man at the pool and the woman bent by a spirit. He then shifts to two future warnings—Jonah and Solomon—arguing that the current opportunity to repent is greater than the one given to Nineveh. He urges the audience to take the current word of Christ seriously and forgive anyone they have held a grudge against, as they may face a reckoning similar to the people of Nineveh.

All people, regardless of age, must one day stand before the judgment seat of Christ to give an account of their entire lives. The speaker warns that our current actions determine our eternal outcome, using the examples of Nebuchadnezzar and Belshazzar to illustrate the danger of pride and forgetting God's sovereignty.

Saving Faith Loves Conviction — Jeremy Utley — June 22, 2025
Jeremy Utley · Jun 25, 2025 · 33m
Saving faith is defined as loving conviction—a willingness to embrace correction and rebuke from God. The speaker uses the example of King Zedekiah, who sought prayer without obeying God's word, to illustrate that true submission is proven not by who we ask for help, but by whose hard words we gladly accept. Ultimately, true refuge in the Lord means rejecting all other sources of security and finding our all-in-all only in Christ.

You Must Be Born Again — Olu Talabi — March 23, 2025
Olu Talabi · Mar 24, 2025 · 29m
The speaker emphasizes the profound importance of paying close attention to Jesus' words, as they come from a place of perfect knowledge. He focuses heavily on John 3, where Jesus repeatedly states that one must be 'born again' to enter the Kingdom of God. The central message is that mere good works or religious adherence are insufficient; a genuine, new spiritual birth is required, and the first step toward this is the personal admission of sin.

Do Not Refuse the One Who Speaks from Heaven -- Ajay Chakravarthy -- March 9, 2025
Ajay Chakravarthy · Mar 9, 2025 · 40m
The speaker emphasizes that refusing the one who speaks from Heaven, like Jesus, is equivalent to turning away. He uses examples from the Bible, such as Saul's persecution and the rich young ruler's refusal, to illustrate that both aggressive and polite refusal are equally detrimental. Ultimately, the message warns that outwardly agreeing with God's call while inwardly rebelling is a deception, and true belief requires action and repentance.

The sermon emphasizes that true Christian life hinges on humility, which is presented as the master key to everything.

Ajay Chakravarthy · Dec 22, 2024 · 46m
The sermon uses biblical examples—Peter walking on water, the healing of the boy with seizures, and the paralyzed man at the pool—to illustrate that while people often cry out for rescue from sin and life's struggles, true healing requires more than just a cry. Jesus's questions and actions demonstrate that belief and a willingness to step out in faith are necessary, even when the process feels like a constant cycle of failure.
