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.

Jeremy Utley - How To Maintain Simple And Pure Devotion To Christ
Jeremy Utley · Dec 13, 2016 · 14m
To maintain pure devotion to Christ, one must actively guard against doubts regarding God's good intentions, which the devil exploits by making us question God's love. This requires renewing the mind by immersing oneself in Scripture, using God's Word as a 'bit' to rein in emotional doubts and affirm God's consistent, loving will. Furthermore, spiritual readiness requires actively applying teachings from church meetings to avoid spiritual 'NSF' charges when trials come.

Jeremy Utley · Aug 15, 2016 · 31m
The speaker encourages those seeking God's will by emphasizing that believers can know what God desires for them, rather than wandering in spiritual darkness. He cites scripture, particularly Isaiah 30:21, assuring listeners they will hear God's direction. Furthermore, he advises trusting God completely, acknowledging Him in all ways, and being transformed by renewing one's mind according to God's will.

Jeremy Utley - Maintain God's Promised Rest By Obedience
Jeremy Utley · Apr 11, 2016 · 17m
The central message is that God's promised rest is not automatically permanent; it must be actively maintained through diligent obedience. Drawing from Joshua 23, the speaker argues that while God can deliver believers from known enemies, they must remain vigilant in obeying God's commandments to avoid being ensnared by worldly compromises. Maintaining this rest requires constant faithfulness to God's ways.

Jeremy Utley - They Tried Me, Though They Saw My Works
Jeremy Utley · Mar 8, 2016 · 15m
The central message is that having witnessed God's miraculous work in our lives should lead to unwavering confidence and a refusal to doubt Him when facing new challenges. Drawing from David's account in Psalm 95, the speaker warns against hardening our hearts by grumbling or questioning God's presence, even after experiencing His provision. The goal is to maintain faith and trust in God's purpose, regardless of current circumstances.

Jeremy Utley - Perfection From A Stiff Neck
Jeremy Utley · Nov 17, 2015 · 11m
The central message is that Christians must avoid having 'stiff necks' or hard hearts by actively listening to and obeying God's commands, and by remembering God's past wondrous deeds. The speaker emphasizes that refusing to listen is not merely hearing but failing to obey, and that remembering God's faithfulness is demonstrated when facing future uncertainty. He suggests meditating on God's works and sharing stories of His goodness to keep hearts soft and receptive.

Jeremy Utley - Faith greater than a set of rules
Jeremy Utley · Nov 2, 2015 · 9m
The central message is that Christian faith must not be reduced to a set of rules or what one can or cannot do. The speaker argues that true dependence on God comes from listening to His word and treasuring Him, rather than adhering strictly to religious practices or rules, even those given by God like the Law. He uses examples from the Old Testament (Zechariah 7) and the Pharisees to illustrate how focusing on minor rules can lead to spiritual hardening and neglect of what truly matters.

Jeremy Utley - Recounting The Deeds Of The Lord
Jeremy Utley · Aug 24, 2015 · 8m
The central message is that when facing doubt or difficulty, believers should not rely on their feelings but instead actively recall and meditate on God's past faithfulness. The speaker emphasizes that this practice, exemplified by Psalm 77, should become a deliberate, ongoing habit—especially in parenting—by keeping a record of God's deeds to pass down a testimony of His goodness to future generations. This conscious recounting of God's works is presented as a vital spiritual discipline.

Jeremy Utley - Colossians 1:28
Jeremy Utley · Jun 22, 2015 · 7m
The central message is that Christians must strive to be a reflection of Jesus Christ, both individually and corporately. The speaker emphasizes that false ideas about God, often stemming from a disconnect between personal experience and scripture, must be challenged. True fulfillment of God's promises requires meeting the conditions He sets, and the church has a ministry to admonish one another in love through self-examination.

Jeremy Utley - Being a student of Jesus in the school of discipleship
Jeremy Utley · Jan 12, 2015 · 23m
The central message is that Christian discipleship is like being a student in a school, requiring a commitment to learn lessons every single day. True discipleship is not about quantity but about the quality of seeking to be wholehearted, meaning one must be eager to learn from God's lessons in every circumstance, day or night. This requires maintaining an attitude of constant readiness to learn, regardless of whether the day feels eventful or challenging.

Jeremy Utley - God is worthy of our praise
Jeremy Utley · Jan 1, 2015 · 17m
The speaker emphasizes that human words and minds are inadequate to fully describe God's goodness or greatness. He draws from Psalm 145 and Revelation to show that God's worthiness of praise stems from His incomprehensible nature and His creative power, which sustains all life. Furthermore, the speaker points to the Lamb, Jesus, as worthy of praise because of His humility.
