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.

4. Seeking God's Face With the Mind of Christ — Dave Bertsch — July 14, 2023
David Bertsch · Jul 20, 2023 · 16m
The central message is that one must seek God's face with the mind of Christ, which is characterized by profound humility, obedience, and submission to the Father's will. Key examples from Christ's life illustrate this: He continually humbled himself, spoke only after being taught by the Father, lived to please the Father rather than his own desires, and sustained himself by the Word of God. Ultimately, this means living a life completely submissive to God's will.

The message centers on the command to never repay evil with evil, emphasizing that this is difficult to obey through human effort alone. The speaker stresses the necessity of asking Jesus what He would do in a given situation, which requires renewing one's mind to think like Christ. Ultimately, the example of Jesus forgiving those who crucified Him—saying, "Father, forgive them for they do not know what they're doing"—is presented as the model for Christian response.

The central message is that true strength and abundance come not from self-sufficiency, but from embracing a state of helplessness and humility before God. Drawing on scripture, the speaker emphasizes that when we become poor in spirit, we gain access to God's abundant grace, His presence, and the Kingdom of Heaven. This weakness is seen not as a deficit, but as the very place where God dwells and where our glory can be found.

The message emphasizes that Christians must strive to reflect Jesus Christ both individually through purity and corporately within the local church. Drawing from Isaiah 30:21, the speaker advises that making decisions requires repentance from self-will, resting in God's will, maintaining quietness to hear God's word, and trusting in His leading. Furthermore, building the church requires overcoming the obstacles of selfishness and pride by adopting Christ's humble attitude.

Understanding the New Covenant — Zac Poonen — May 3, 2023
Zac Poonen · May 7, 2023 · 1h 4m
The speaker urges Christians to read the Word of God carefully and take sin and reverence for Christ seriously, warning against becoming too familiar with Jesus. He emphasizes that true discipleship requires a foundation of the 'fear of God' before fully embracing grace, comparing this to a child who appreciates a king's favor after years of poverty. The central message is to live with deep reverence, humility, and a serious commitment to one's calling, understanding the profound gifts of the New Covenant.

Zac Poonen · Apr 26, 2023 · 1h 15m
The speaker emphasizes that believers should adopt the childlike humility of Jesus's followers, contrasting this with the pride of the Pharisees. He draws a parallel between God's fatherly discipline and a grandfather's care, asserting that God disciplines us as a loving father, not a distant grandfather. Ultimately, the message encourages trusting God's sovereignty through all circumstances, viewing difficulties as opportunities for Him to draw us back to Him.

The sermon centers on finding true rest in God amidst the constant unrest of life, comparing it to Jesus's invitation in Matthew 11:28-30. True rest is found not in a period of calm, but in following Jesus's gentle and humble yoke, which requires surrender to His will. This inner rest is a divine gift that allows believers to remain calm and centered even when surrounded by life's storms.

The sermon uses the life of Solomon to warn against hypocrisy, noting that external piety can mask private unrighteousness. The speaker emphasizes that the greatest need today is for discernment, which only God can grant, as exemplified by Solomon's request for a wise and discerning heart. Finally, the speaker applies the judgment story to modern church conflict, advising believers not to divide or fight over ministries, but rather to leave and start anew if necessary.

The sermon emphasizes that the Holy Spirit reveals things that the natural person cannot understand, and that God's gifts are given freely, so preaching should never involve charging people. It also addresses spiritual immaturity, warning believers against jealousy and strife, and reminds the congregation that true Christian living requires walking like Christ, not like the world. Finally, it contrasts the worldly pursuit of honor with the humble, sacrificial service modeled by the apostles.

Zac Poonen · Apr 3, 2023 · 38m
The central message is that God's glory is actually His goodness, which believers must manifest to others.

Ajay Chakravarthy · Feb 27, 2023 · 49m
The sermon uses the analogy of Deuteronomy 25:4, concerning not muzzling an ox while plowing, to illustrate God's boundless care for humanity. The speaker argues that God's compassion shown to animals reflects an even greater care for us, promising reward for those who diligently seek Him. He contrasts this with the wages of sin, which is spiritual death, and concludes by emphasizing that humility, like that of a child, is necessary for entering God's Kingdom, contrasting it with the pride and possessions of the rich young ruler.

The speaker emphasizes that true love, as described in 1 Corinthians 13, does not seek its own happiness at the expense of others. He contrasts this selfless love with the world's pursuit of personal joy, and further stresses that true spiritual recognition comes not from mere association with the church or godly people, but from an intimate, Spirit-filled relationship with Jesus. Ultimately, the focus must be on knowing and understanding the Lord through humility and mercy.

Forsaking Our Will And Choosing God's Will Is The Best Offering - Jesudoss
Jesudass · Feb 22, 2023 · 7m
The central message is that the best offering to God is not material goods, but the surrender of one's own will to God's will. The speaker draws parallels from Cain and Abel, arguing that self-will, even when presented as an offering, is seen by God as worthless or even offensive. True worship, therefore, requires aligning one's entire life and will with the Father's will, exemplified by Jesus Christ.

CFC Messages · Feb 22, 2023 · 10m
The sermon explores two aspects of Christian attitude: towards God and towards people. Regarding God, the speaker uses Mary's costly perfume at the feast to illustrate that true devotion requires giving something precious, rather than just the minimum effort. Concerning people, Jesus washing the disciples' feet demonstrates that our attitude toward brothers and sisters should be one of humble service, recognizing it as our duty.

Don’t Offer To God What Costs You Nothing - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Feb 22, 2023 · 54m
The speaker contrasts the Old Covenant relationship with God, which was marked by fear (like at Mount Sinai), with the New Covenant relationship through Jesus Christ. He emphasizes that true reverence for God requires more than superficial religious acts, using the offerings of Cain and Abel to illustrate that God favors the best and most heartfelt giving, not just any offering. The central message is to approach God with genuine humility and sincerity, rather than merely fulfilling obligations.
