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.

You Must Be Filled With the Holy Spirit — Jeremy Utley — June 18, 2026
Jeremy Utley · Jul 2, 2026 · 49m
The speaker encourages the audience not to be offended by the ordinariness of daily life, drawing parallels from Jesus' own seemingly unremarkable life. The central message emphasizes that the Christian life is an adventure found in discipleship and points to the necessity of waiting for and being filled with the Holy Spirit before undertaking ministry, citing the command given to the apostles in Luke 24 and Acts 1.

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.

The Three Most Important Letters for Discipleship — Jeremy Utley — July 20, 2024
Jeremy Utley · Jul 20, 2024 · 46m
The speaker argues that true spiritual safety and answered prayer are not found merely in calling upon the name of the Lord, but in actively living out what Jesus teaches. He draws from scripture to suggest that being a true disciple means doing what Jesus says. If our prayers are not met with a corresponding change in our actions and obedience, we must examine our hearts, as the power of the Kingdom of God resides in action, not just words.

5. Putting Christ's Interests First — Jeremy Utley — July 14, 2023
Jeremy Utley · Jul 20, 2023 · 35m
The central message is that seeking God's kingdom and righteousness must be the primary priority in life, as taught in Matthew 6:33. This means that when sin occurs, everything—including worldly activities—must stop, much like pulling an 'andon cord' on an assembly line. Furthermore, seeking Christ's interests first means remaining at rest when the world goes wrong, and not becoming overly concerned with worldly matters even when spiritual things are going well.

The Pursuit of Christ: A Life on the Look-out for Jesus — Jeremy Utley — June 11, 2022
Jeremy Utley · Jun 17, 2022 · 43m
The sermon uses Simeon's devotion in Luke's Gospel as an example of pursuing Christ, emphasizing that true discipleship involves an expectant heart. The speaker outlines three ways new covenant believers must remain on the lookout for Jesus, starting with maintaining a genuine expectation of Christ's return, which should evoke profound joy rather than surprise.

Delighting in Jesus - Jeremy Utley - August 11, 2019
Jeremy Utley · Aug 13, 2019 · 29m
The speaker discusses the challenge of resenting conviction, noting that in moments of temptation, the flesh often reacts with disappointment or resentment toward the Holy Spirit's prompting. The remedy, he argues, is twofold: growing in hatred of self (the flesh) and increasing delight in Jesus. By recognizing that the resentment belongs to the flesh, one can crucify that feeling and direct hostility away from God's voice.

A Disciple Who Lives With Jesus - Jeremy Utley - July 28, 2019
Jeremy Utley · Jul 29, 2019 · 36m
The central message is that true discipleship is defined by the inward reality of living with Jesus, rather than focusing on outward works like preaching or casting out demons. The speaker emphasizes that the primary focus should be on enjoying and dwelling in Jesus's love, which is the defining characteristic of a disciple. He contrasts this with the disciples' initial misunderstanding of their calling, urging the audience to prioritize their relationship with Christ.

The speaker uses the miracle account from John 9, where Jesus uses mud and his own saliva to restore sight, to illustrate that life's ordinary, even unpleasant, circumstances can be God's anointing. He encourages the audience to embrace the

How God Prepared Jesus in Secret - Jeremy Utley - August 2, 2018
Jeremy Utley · Aug 6, 2018 · 59m
The speaker discusses the concept of living a life that pleases God the Father in secret, drawing a parallel between Jesus's hidden life and our own spiritual walk. He argues that just as Jesus's early life was less documented, our focus should be on pleasing God privately rather than seeking public recognition. Spiritual preparation, like physical training for a soldier, requires a disciplined diet and exercise, which spiritually means maintaining a good spiritual diet and practicing obedience.

God Loves Repentance - Jeremy Utley - July 31, 2018
Jeremy Utley · Aug 6, 2018 · 51m
The speaker emphasizes that what truly pleases God is repentance, which is more than just a foundational truth—it's a daily necessity. He warns against becoming mere collectors of truth who enjoy hearing sermons without applying the word, stressing that God expects believers to live according to what they hear. Ultimately, one honors God not by dwelling in shame, but by running back to Him with hope, remembering that God takes no pleasure in our death but desires our return to Him.

A Life With No 'However...' - Jeremy Utley - July 30, 2018
Jeremy Utley · Aug 6, 2018 · 50m
The speaker shares his personal journey of spiritual awakening, emphasizing that the greatest joy is knowing Jesus Christ over any worldly achievement. He encourages the audience to take seriously the opportunity to learn from God's Word and the testimonies of others. He draws parallels between the Old and New Covenants, urging believers to be ruthless against the 'giants'—the lusts and sins—that rule in their lives.

Words of Encouragement - Jeremy Utley - June 19, 2016
Jeremy Utley · Jun 24, 2016 · 19m
The speaker emphasizes that knowing God should compel us to change, warning against the danger of maintaining old habits or attitudes after God has revealed Himself. Using Abraham's repeated lies and Elijah's flight from Jezebel as examples, the message stresses that a refusal to change in light of new revelation is dangerous, and we must always be willing to be purged of impurity.
