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 · Jan 29, 2024 · 51m
The central message emphasizes that the proper 'dress' for God's presence is humility, which must be worn toward God and one another.

Zac Poonen · Jan 26, 2024 · 11m
The sermon uses the Parable of the Pharisee and the Tax Collector to warn against self-righteousness and boasting in one's own merits. The central message emphasizes that all abilities and blessings are gifts from God, requiring constant humility and gratitude. Furthermore, the speaker stresses the critical need to be merciful to others, mirroring the mercy God has shown us, and warns parents against creating 'Pharisees' in their children through comparison or excessive focus on knowledge.

January 22 | Daily Devotion | Don't Let Regret Over Your Past Hold You Back | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jan 21, 2024 · 17m
The speaker addresses the tendency to dwell on past failures, comparing it to a 'thorn in the flesh' that God allows to remain for humility. While God blots out sins through Christ's blood, the memory of past mistakes remains to prevent repetition and maintain humility. Instead of self-punishment, one must actively choose not to live in regret, allowing the memory to spur one toward greater spiritual progress.

January 16 | Daily Devotion | Become An Unworthy Slave | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jan 15, 2024 · 11m
The message emphasizes the profound importance of humility, using the example of the Centurion who recognized his unworthiness before Jesus. The speaker draws a parallel between this humility and the biblical teaching that after fulfilling all commanded duties, one becomes an 'unworthy slave.' True spiritual growth requires avoiding pride and remembering that obedience, like the military discipline of marching regardless of obstacles, is paramount.

January 15 | Daily Devotion | Make Zero Hypocrisy To Be Your Goal | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jan 14, 2024 · 14m
The speaker emphasizes two core principles for Christian living: sacrifice and submission to authority. He argues that true sacrifice, like that of David and Jesus, involves giving up what costs us everything. Furthermore, the most perfect life, exemplified by Jesus, is one where one never does their own will but instead submits completely to the will of the Father. This submission must be constant, even when inconvenient, and it requires actively seeking God's will in every area of life.

Being Righteous, Merciful And Humble - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jan 9, 2024 · 52m
The central message is that believers should not fight against people, but rather remain silent and trust God, as the Lord will fight for them. The speaker draws lessons from scripture, particularly Psalm 46 and 2 Chronicles 20, emphasizing that when facing overwhelming opposition, one must seek the Lord, acknowledge their lack of power, and declare that their eyes are on God. He concludes by referencing Ephesians 6:12, advising that refusing to fight with human beings grants power against Satan.

A church member shares how God transformed his understanding of spiritual growth through humility and childlike faith. Drawing from Matthew 18 and other scriptures, the speaker testifies that regardless of one's past circumstances or when one came to Christ, humble submission to God as a child submits to a father enables genuine spiritual transformation and maturity in Christ. The message emphasizes that God can restore and redeem what was lost when believers align their desires with obedience to Him.

Zac Poonen · Nov 24, 2023 · 1h 28m
The speaker warns elders against the danger of pride and seeking personal honor, using Jeremiah's warning to Baruk as an example.

Zac Poonen · Nov 23, 2023 · 1h 28m
The message warns elders against the danger of spiritual pride, cautioning that seeking personal honor or feeling uniquely chosen can lead to a fall.

Following Jesus Who Died to Self Every Day — Zac Poonen — October 4, 2023
Zac Poonen · Oct 5, 2023 · 1h 2m
The central message is that following Jesus requires a daily commitment to deny oneself and take up the cross, which means constantly confronting the 'self.' The speaker emphasizes that the Christian life is a marathon race, not an escalator, requiring continuous forward movement through self-denial. A key practical application discussed is overcoming the sin of getting offended, as this stems from an inflated sense of self-worth rather than recognizing one's identity solely in Christ.

Michael S.M · Sep 29, 2023 · 15m
The message advises believers to seek a life of humility by remaining hidden and unnoticed, drawing parallels to the path of the righteous shining like the dawn. True brightness comes not from demanding attention, but from being ready to answer questions when called upon, relying on the Lord's backing.

The central message is that the greatest spiritual achievement is not miraculous power, but rather following Jesus' example by enduring the cross.

The speaker uses the metaphor of an apple orchard to illustrate that Christian life requires continually gathering 'apples' of faith from God's Word, moving beyond mere initial faith. He emphasizes that true spiritual growth involves cultivating a sensitive heart to hear the Holy Spirit's convicting word and resisting the poison of pride, which can be countered through self-humbling before the Lord. Ultimately, the message stresses that grace is essential for overcoming sin and that faith must be continually replenished.

The Holy Spirit Reveals God's Thoughts - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Sep 20, 2023 · 1h 1m
The central message emphasizes that true faith is not intellectual knowledge but a helpless dependence upon God, like a branch depending on a tree for sap.

He emphasizes that God gives grace specifically to the humble, citing passages from Proverbs, James, and 1 Peter. The message concludes by discussing how God allows persistent struggles, like Paul's 'thorn in the flesh,' not to punish, but to strengthen faith through persistent prayer and trust in God's unseen plan.

Blessed is the One Who is Not Offended by Jesus — Ajay Chakravarthy — August 13, 2023
Ajay Chakravarthy · Aug 13, 2023 · 16m
The speaker contrasts Judas Iscariot, who betrayed Jesus after years of association, with Mary, who remained humble and receptive to Jesus's words. He argues that the root cause of getting offended with God or others is pride, which makes one resistant to correction. True discipleship, exemplified by Mary, involves humility and obedience, even when facing reproach or misunderstanding.
