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.

Being Righteous, Merciful And Humble | ನೀತಿವಂತರಾಗಿರುವುದು, ಕರುಣೆ ಮತ್ತು ದೀನತೆಯುಳ್ಳವರಾಗಿರುವುದು |Kannada

Zac Poonen · Apr 14, 2026 · 1h 32m

The sermon emphasizes that when facing conflict, slander, or opposition, believers should remain silent and calm, trusting that God will fight on their behalf. The speaker draws lessons from scripture, particularly advising against engaging in arguments with people, whether in family, work, or public life. Ultimately, the message is to stand firm in faith, trusting God's protection rather than engaging in human conflict.

Zac Poonen · Apr 13, 2026 · 12m

Zac Poonen emphasizes that apart from Christ, all human effort amounts to nothing, using John 15:5 as the foundation. He illustrates how works done without dependence on God may appear impressive but are ultimately worthless (wood, hay, and stubble), while only Spirit-empowered works endure for eternity. Poonen challenges believers to examine their true motives and inner attitudes, particularly regarding the love of money, and to recognize their complete dependence on God in all areas of life, ministry, and service.

April 10 | Daily Devotion | Ask God For Wisdom In Faith Without Any Doubting | Zac Poonen

Zac Poonen · Apr 9, 2026 · 11m

Drawing from James 1:5-7, Zac Poonen teaches that believers should ask God for wisdom in practical situations without doubting, emphasizing that God gives generously and without rebuke. He illustrates this with examples of needing wisdom in family relationships and highlights that doubt—which stems from not trusting God's goodness—prevents receiving God's blessings, making faith without wavering essential for answered prayer.

The speaker addresses questions regarding forgiveness, emphasizing that true forgiveness stems from recognizing the immense forgiveness received from God, citing the parable of the unforgiving servant. He also advises that when facing anxiety about job security due to AI, one should focus on seeking God's kingdom first, trusting that God will provide for needs, much like He cares for birds and lilies. Finally, regarding a child feeling unwelcome at church, he advises patience and focusing on the spiritual health of the church rather than the immediate social acceptance of the child.

April 4 | Daily Devotion | Preserve Yourself In Fervent Devotion To Christ | Zac Poonen

Zac Poonen · Apr 3, 2026 · 11m

Zac Poonen teaches that maintaining fervent devotion to Christ is the primary safeguard against spiritual deception. He emphasizes that false prophets and deceptive doctrines specifically target believers who have shifted their primary allegiance away from Christ toward other things—money, ministry, status, or earthly possessions. The key to protection is keeping Christ as the central focus and greatest love of the Christian life.

April 2 | Daily Devotion | Jesus Made Satan Powerless Against You | Zac Poonen

Zac Poonen · Apr 1, 2026 · 8m

Jesus died on the cross not only to forgive sins and crucify our old nature, but specifically to make Satan powerless against believers. Satan, though not dead, is now paralyzed like a snake without the ability to harm those who recognize Christ's victory and stand in faith against him, freeing believers from fear of the devil.

March 28 | Daily Devotion | Two Things That Will Protect You From Deception | Zac Poonen

Zac Poonen · Mar 27, 2026 · 12m

Zac Poonen emphasizes that genuine conversion requires recognizing sin and desiring to be free from it, not merely intellectual agreement or church attendance. He warns that those who reject the truth about their sinfulness risk divine deception, where God Himself sends a deceiving influence so they believe falsehood and think themselves saved when they are not.

March 27 | Daily Devotion | All Grace Abounds To Those Who Give Their All To God | Zac Poonen

Zac Poonen · Mar 26, 2026 · 11m

Zac Poonen teaches that God blesses those who surrender everything to Him without holding back, just as Jesus gave all to His Father. Using biblical principles like the law of sowing and reaping and the burnt offering, he emphasizes that partial commitment blocks God's fullness, including the Holy Spirit's power, and that cheerful, complete giving opens the floodgates of God's grace.

March 17 | Daily Devotion | We Go Astray When We Lose Our Devotion To Jesus | Zac Poonen

Zac Poonen · Mar 16, 2026 · 11m

Zac Poonen teaches that spiritual deception enters when believers lose their fervent devotion to Jesus Christ, becoming susceptible to false prophets and deceptive doctrines. He emphasizes that maintaining a passionate love relationship with Christ as one's primary focus is the essential protection against deception, and warns that allowing other things—money, ministry, prestige, or even false gospels presented by charismatic leaders—to take priority creates vulnerability to Satan's schemes.

Zac Poonen - Sermon on the Mount - 18

Zac Poonen · Mar 16, 2026 · 34m

In this final session on the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 7:1-11), Zac Poonen teaches against judging others while emphasizing the need to judge oneself, and explains that living according to the high standards of the Sermon on the Mount requires persistent prayer and faith in God as a loving Father. Through examples of a Canaanite woman's humility and faith, a widow's persistence with an unjust judge, and Jesus's promise that God eagerly gives good gifts to those who ask, the speaker demonstrates that the extraordinary life described in Matthew 5-6 is attainable through earnest seeking and unwavering trust in God's character.

March 15 | Daily Devotion | Can The Lord Boast Of You To Satan? | Zac Poonen

Zac Poonen · Mar 14, 2026 · 8m

Zac Poonen challenges believers to develop unwavering faith and faithfulness to God, using the apostle Paul as an example of how God allows trials and suffering in the lives of His most faithful servants to demonstrate to Satan that His people will remain loyal regardless of circumstances. He urges Christians to move beyond superficial religious practices and instead develop deep, genuine faith through prayer, Bible study, and personal dedication to God, promising that such faithfulness leads to a life without regret.

March 14 | Daily Devotion | Two Things Required To Become Spiritual | Zac Poonen

Zac Poonen · Mar 13, 2026 · 13m

To become spiritually rich and fulfill God's purpose for your life, you need two essential things: humility and reverence for God. Bitterness, pride, and unforgiveness can destroy God's plan for you, while humility combined with a godly fear that seeks not to hurt God enables you to complete the work He has given you to do and avoid the distraction of seeking earthly honor or recognition.

March 8 | Daily Devotion | Persevering In Love And Faithfulness To Our Bridegroom | Zac Poonen

Zac Poonen · Mar 7, 2026 · 10m

The message uses the analogy of a fiancée waiting for her beloved groom (Christ) to illustrate Christian faithfulness. The central message is the necessity of a passionate desire for holiness, demonstrated by immediately confessing every sin, no matter how small, rather than waiting or minimizing it. The speaker urges listeners to base their faith and worship only on what is explicitly taught in Scripture, rejecting traditions or practices not found in the Bible.

March 6 | Daily Devotion | The Lord Will Fight For You If You Keep Silent | Zac Poonen

Zac Poonen · Mar 5, 2026 · 9m

The central message is that when facing conflict, the believer should remain silent and trust in God's fight. The speaker draws parallels from Psalm 46:10 ("Be still and know that I am God") and 2 Chronicles 20, advising that instead of fighting, one should stand still and wait for deliverance. Furthermore, the speaker emphasizes that spiritual warfare requires refusing to fight with human beings, as doing so forfeits power against Satan.

March 5 | Daily Devotion | God Is Faithful In Every Temptation | Zac Poonen

Zac Poonen · Mar 4, 2026 · 9m

God is faithful and will never allow believers to face temptations or trials beyond what they can bear; He provides grace and strength to endure. Drawing from personal testimony of overcoming asthma in Bangalore and reflecting on Christ's sufferings, the speaker emphasizes that believers can trust God through difficult circumstances, knowing that Jesus himself was acquainted with sickness and suffering to be our forerunner in all areas of life.

Zac Poonen - Sermon on the Mount - 16

Zac Poonen · Mar 2, 2026 · 30m

Zac Poonen teaches on the Sermon on the Mount, focusing on wrong attitudes Jesus condemns: anger, sexual sin, lying, revenge, hatred, seeking honor, and the love of money. He emphasizes that Christians must choose God alone as their master, not wealth, and must cultivate faith to overcome anxiety about provision, trusting that God cares for believers more than He cares for the birds of the air.

March 2 | Daily Devotion | Let The Word Of God Abide In You | Zac Poonen

Zac Poonen · Mar 1, 2026 · 12m

The central message emphasizes the profound power of allowing God's Word to abide deeply within the believer, comparing it to treating divine teaching as something precious rather than disposable. The speaker uses examples from Jesus' ministry to illustrate that God's plan can sometimes supersede immediate good works, and true faith is characterized by humble submission, like the Roman Centurion's trust in his superior officer. Ultimately, abiding in Christ's words leads to a deeper connection with God's will.

March 1 |Daily Devotion |Be Filled With The Holy Spirit To Be Thankful In All Situations |Zac Poonen

Zac Poonen · Feb 28, 2026 · 12m

To cultivate genuine thanksgiving in all situations, we must be filled with the Holy Spirit rather than pursuing worldly pleasures and luxuries. Being filled with the Spirit transforms us from naturally complaining people into those who give thanks in everything, which reflects the character of heaven itself and demonstrates authentic faith regardless of our circumstances.

22nd February 2026 - The Blessed Path Of Suffering - Zac Poonen

Zac Poonen · Feb 22, 2026 · 1h 41m

Zac Poonen teaches that suffering is part of God's design for believers, using Job's example to show how God enters into human suffering and calls us to trust Him. The message encourages Christians to acknowledge their weakness and inadequacy before a holy God while finding joy in serving Jesus through trials and tribulations.

February 21 | Daily Devotion | Is Your Foundation Strong? | Zac Poonen

Zac Poonen · Feb 20, 2026 · 12m

Zac Poonen teaches that a strong Christian foundation requires genuine repentance (a complete 180-degree turn from sin) combined with faith in Christ, not faith alone. He emphasizes that justification means God clothes us with Christ's righteousness, giving us assurance of acceptance and peace with God, and that forgiveness from God is conditional on our willingness to forgive others who have harmed us.

February 19 | Daily Devotion | I Believe I Can Walk In Footsteps Of Jesus | Zac Poonen

Zac Poonen · Feb 18, 2026 · 10m

The message encourages listeners to seriously commit to following Christ's footsteps, emphasizing that following Him means embracing the ordinary, daily aspects of life rather than just grand gestures. The speaker stresses that true discipleship involves humility, being willing to do anything—even tasks considered beneath one's dignity—and trusting that God will provide the necessary power when asked. The core message is to start small, build faith through obedience, and approach God with belief rather than condemnation.

February 12 | Daily Devotion | God Will Make A Way Of Escape Through Grace | Zac Poonen

Zac Poonen · Feb 11, 2026 · 10m

God's grace, not human effort, is the power that enables believers to overcome sin and trials. Living under grace means relying on God's strength rather than trying to conquer sin through personal effort, and this reliance produces both victory over sin and mercy toward others; God promises never to allow trials beyond what we can bear, and His grace provides the way of escape and the strength to endure.
