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.

March 9 | Daily Devotion | Are You Giving God Your Best? | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Mar 8, 2026 · 8m
Zac Poonen contrasts two types of believers represented by Cain and Abel: those who give God their leftover time, energy, and resources versus those who give Him their best. Using biblical examples from Genesis 4 and Malachi 1, he emphasizes that true worship requires offering God the very best, not what is convenient or surplus, and warns that compromising preachers who fail to proclaim this truth will answer to God when their congregants miss out on God's blessing.

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.

Santosh Poonen · Mar 6, 2026 · 54s
The speaker argues that true confidence, even in singing, comes not from a perfect week, but from the assurance of forgiveness and justification through Jesus Christ. He emphasizes that genuine repentance and understanding of Christ's forgiveness allow one to sing with the same confidence regardless of past failures. This assurance is presented as the core message of the gospel.

Santosh Poonen · Mar 6, 2026 · 1m 1s
Reverence for the Lord fundamentally changes how we value one another and the body of Christ. Because the body belongs to Jesus, we cannot speak lightly or criticize any part of it, regardless of their flaws. This reverence motivates us to value gathering with the saints as if Jesus himself were present.

Santosh Poonen · Mar 6, 2026 · 1m 1s
The central message is that knowing God's intimacy is what has eternal value, unlike physical miracles. The speaker contrasts those who only know God through visible deeds with those who truly know His deep intimacy. This deep knowledge is presented as the only thing that will endure into eternity.

youtu.be/Tsn6z-3LTro #santoshpoonen Isaiah45:9 This is reverence for God - like clay and the Potter
Santosh Poonen · Mar 6, 2026 · 1m 1s
True reverence for the Lord means accepting God's sovereignty without demanding explanations for our suffering or trials. The speaker uses the analogy of the potter and the clay to illustrate that God does not owe us an explanation for how He is shaping us. Instead, we should embrace the role of the clay, trusting the Potter's hand.

Santosh Poonen · Mar 6, 2026 · 58s
The speaker discusses the profound joy found in God's presence, comparing it to a taste of heaven. This divine joy is so significant that the typical ups and downs of earthly life, such as winning a game or gaining more money, become irrelevant by comparison. The goal is for the Holy Spirit to fill hearts with this heavenly joy.

youtu.be/Tsn6z-3LTro #santoshpoonen It's your attitude and motive in what you do that glorifies God
Santosh Poonen · Mar 6, 2026 · 1m 1s
The speaker urges listeners to evaluate their daily activities, careers, and relationships by asking if they matter in eternity. True devotion means aligning all actions, even mundane ones like jobs or family life, with God's glory rather than seeking worldly success. Living for God means integrating faith into everyday life, not necessarily withdrawing from it.

March 7 | Daily Devotion | Flee From Idolatry And Prepare For Christ’s Coming | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Mar 6, 2026 · 11m
The sermon urges believers to flee from idolatry, defining greed as a form of idol worship that involves coveting what God has not given them. It emphasizes that while salvation's foundation rests solely on Christ's righteousness by grace through faith, believers must build a superstructure of righteous actions to prepare for Christ's return, which is likened to the bride preparing for her marriage. Ultimately, the message stresses that true discipleship requires putting Christ in the center of one's life, not self or worldly desires.

CFC Messages · Mar 6, 2026 · 15m
The sermon emphasizes that even in spiritual dryness or difficult times, there is always hope because God specializes in making the impossible possible, turning wilderness into Eden. It draws parallels from Isaiah and Matthew, assuring listeners that God does not abandon those who are honest about their spiritual state. Ultimately, the message contrasts living only for the present moment with having the hope of eternal life through Christ's resurrection.

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.

Santosh Poonen · Mar 5, 2026 · 1m 1s
The sermon emphasizes that worldly status or perceived position does not determine God's calling; rather, faithfulness in small matters is what matters. God will elevate those who are humble and faithful in their daily lives, even if they feel overlooked or low in status. True calling comes from quiet, consistent faithfulness.

Santosh Poonen · Mar 5, 2026 · 59s
The sermon uses the parable of the sinful woman and the Pharisee, Simon, to challenge the listener about where they place the most importance in their lives. Jesus contrasts Simon's outward attempts to show importance with the woman's profound act of devotion.

youtu.be/4TrIHngWVGA #santoshpoonen If Jesus said not to do something, that's sin!
Santosh Poonen · Mar 5, 2026 · 1m 1s
The speaker establishes that if Jesus explicitly forbids an action, that action constitutes sin, setting a clear standard for believers. The focus of the church should not be merely on people seeking heaven, but rather on those desiring freedom from sin and striving to emulate Jesus in every aspect of life. He challenges the congregation to pursue a life characterized by zero impatience, anxiety, and unbelief, mirroring Christ's character.

Santosh Poonen · Mar 5, 2026 · 1m 1s
The speaker argues that some teachings on grace diminish the necessary standard of truth, calling such teachings 'false grace.' True grace, according to the speaker, is not a way to excuse oneself from truth but rather God's power to live by the full standard of truth, which is even higher than the old covenant law. The message emphasizes that grace and truth must be understood together.

Santosh Poonen · Mar 5, 2026 · 55s
Jesus taught that faithfulness in small, seemingly insignificant responsibilities is a direct indicator of faithfulness in greater matters.

Santosh Poonen · Mar 5, 2026 · 1m 1s
Jesus teaches that under the New Covenant, believers are always under an oath to tell the truth, unlike the Old Covenant where oaths were only sworn in specific settings. He emphasizes that God is always listening, meaning our words and intentions are always recorded and accountable to Him. This principle extends beyond formal settings into every aspect of our lives.

Santosh Poonen · Mar 5, 2026 · 36s
Reverence for God is not characterized by a somber or downcast demeanor. Instead, true reverence involves lifting one's eyes upward, focusing on God rather than personal failures or earthly concerns. This upward gaze reflects a heart focused on the divine, regardless of recent struggles.
