This sermon emphasizes that serious Christian living begins with deeply believing in God's personal love for us, not just performing Christian activities. The speaker warns against spiritual lukewarmness—resting on past accomplishments rather than actively pursuing Christ with full intensity—and illustrates how genuine faith in God's love, grounded in scripture and exemplified by Paul's personal confidence in Christ, forms the foundation for meaningful discipleship and resisting worldly distractions.

January 21 | Daily Devotion | Learn To Take The Blame | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jan 20, 2024 · 14m
The message urges listeners to move forward by forgetting past achievements and failures, warning against both pride in successes and regret over mistakes. The central theme is taking personal responsibility for sin, contrasting Adam's tendency to blame others with Christ's willingness to take the blame for sin on the cross. True discipleship requires confessing one's own sin without pointing fingers at others.

January 19 | Daily Devotion | Have This Attitude Of Pressing On To Perfection | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jan 19, 2024 · 12m
The message encourages believers to adopt the attitude of constantly pressing on toward maturity and perfection, drawing parallels to a child's ambition. While acknowledging current imperfections is necessary, it is insufficient; one must actively desire and strive toward Christ-likeness. This proactive pursuit means embracing correction from others with gratitude, viewing it as a loving guide toward improvement.

Child, Servant Or Son - Sunil Poonen
Sunil Poonen · Jan 18, 2024 · 43m
The speaker argues that proving God's existence through science is futile and distracts from true faith. Instead, he encourages people to follow Jesus' example by simply 'coming and seeing' His life, which demonstrates complete dependence on God's grace. He emphasizes that Jesus' unique attributes—being the Redeemer who sacrifices personally and the perfect example of human weakness dependent on the Father—are unmatched by other faiths.

Be Thou Supreme, O Jesus Christ — RLCF Praise Live — January 14, 2024
CFC Messages · Jan 18, 2024 · 4m 3s
The central prayer is a plea for Jesus Christ to be supreme in every aspect of life—including the church, family, and personal relationships. The speaker expresses a desire for Christ's supremacy over all human constructs, such as creeds, forms, words, and human love. The commitment is to die to self and live solely for Christ's will.

January 17 | Daily Devotion | Having Authority By Living Under Authority | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jan 16, 2024 · 18m
The central message emphasizes that true Christian authority comes not from knowledge or religious performance, but from complete submission to God's authority. The speaker draws parallels between the original sin (disobedience to God's authority) and the need for believers to submit to God's will in all areas of life. Ultimately, having authority over the devil and confusion in one's home depends entirely on one's own submission to Christ's authority.

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.

January 13 | Daily Devotion | Bearing The Image Of The Heavenly | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jan 12, 2024 · 14m
The central message is that believers must shift their life's priorities from earthly concerns to bearing the image of heaven, exemplified by Christ. The speaker argues that true spirituality is not about maintaining outward decorum or pleasing people, but about prioritizing fellowship with God and embodying Christ's radical compassion, even if it causes offense. This requires a fundamental change in one's value system.

Question And Answer (Youth Meeting)
Zac Poonen · Jan 11, 2024 · 1h 4m
The session addresses questions regarding church discipline, advising that concerns should be brought to godly elders for confidential counsel rather than being aired publicly. It also discusses self-discipline, emphasizing that discipleship requires self-control in speech, conduct, love, faith, and purity. Ultimately, the speaker encourages patience, perseverance, and trusting in God's provision and the Holy Spirit's help during the process of sanctification.

January 11 | Daily Devotion | God Has Determined My Destination | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jan 10, 2024 · 18m
The speaker emphasizes that the most important focus in the Christian life is not merely reaching heaven, but being conformed to the image of Jesus Christ, which is God's predetermined destination for believers. He warns against 'majoring on minors'—getting sidetracked by good but secondary activities like evangelism—if it distracts from the primary goal of Christlikeness. True Christian living means integrating all aspects of life, including service and ministry, under the overarching goal of becoming like Jesus.

Olu Talabi · Jan 8, 2024 · 13m
The speaker encourages the congregation to maintain a cheerful disposition throughout the coming year, even when facing trials, by remembering that Jesus promised peace amidst tribulation. To sustain this cheerfulness, believers must first maintain intimacy with God and His Word. Furthermore, the community has a role to play by actively provoking one another to love God through keeping His commandments and by engaging in practical good works in both church and outside the church.

January 8 | Daily Devotion | God Has Much More For Those Who Accept His Lordship | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jan 7, 2024 · 12m
The speaker emphasizes that true knowledge of God's love comes not from quoting scripture, but from the spontaneous, trusting reliance of a child on a father. He interprets John 17:23 to mean that God's deepest love is reserved for those who are utterly obedient disciples, like the eleven apostles. This obedience involves following Christ's direction, whether it means giving up a sin or fulfilling a specific command, and those who are in this group are promised blessings far exceeding worldly provision.

January 6 | Daily Devotion | Total Commitment To Christ And Spiritual Prosperity | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jan 5, 2024 · 12m
The central message emphasizes that true commitment to Christ must be total, like a perfect marriage, rejecting any divided loyalty to the world. The speaker warns that merely accepting Christ is insufficient; one must be fully committed, confessing all wrongs, and understanding that God's election is based on His sovereign choice, not human merit. He stresses the necessity of deep, careful study of scripture to avoid false doctrines.

Increasing in Love as Those Who are Forgiven — David Lane & Alan Thomas — December 31, 2023
CFC Messages · Jan 5, 2024 · 16m
The speaker emphasizes that personal holiness and love for others are not separate pursuits but are directly related. He draws from scripture to argue that one's growth in holiness must be matched by an increase in love for fellow believers and all people. True love, which must be unhypocritical and come from within, is the ultimate demonstration of Christ's imitation, and the speaker commits to pursuing this balance in the new year.

January 5 | Daily Devotion | The Life Of Jesus Is The Light Of Mankind | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jan 4, 2024 · 12m
The speaker emphasizes that the life of Jesus, which was the light of mankind, is more crucial than adherence to doctrine. He argues that while doctrines must be obeyed, true spiritual life comes from embodying Christ's life, which involves being tempted and suffering like us. He encourages listeners to seek this life through a heart-felt passion and fear of God, rather than merely intellectual understanding.

January 4 | Daily Devotion | Looking At Jesus As Our Example | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jan 3, 2024 · 12m
The central message is that the Christian life is defined by looking to Jesus as the ultimate example in worship and submission. The speaker highlights that Jesus's life, from being worshipped as a child to continuing in submission until age 30, models for believers how to live. This submission should extend even to imperfect parents or bosses, contrasting the desire for worldly recognition with the quiet, constant worship of Christ.

Zac Poonen · Jan 1, 2024 · 11m
The central message emphasizes that true Christian life is defined by actively following Jesus' example, which is not merely doctrinal adherence but a lifestyle of sinlessness and truthfulness. The speaker contrasts this with the Old Covenant and discusses the concept of salvation for all people, including those who die before conversion, through the cleansing power of Christ's blood. He concludes by contrasting the uncountable multitude in heaven with the symbolic 144,000, noting that even the latter group is characterized by never having told a lie.

Look Upward, Then Inward, Then Outward - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Dec 27, 2023 · 47m
The sermon advises believers to reorient their focus by prioritizing worship over service, drawing parallels from the angels' wings and Jesus' teachings. The speaker emphasizes that true worship involves heartfelt devotion to God, as exemplified by the woman in Samaria, and that this foundational worship must precede any form of service for it to be effective. He urges the audience to begin their day by focusing on their heavenly Father rather than immediate earthly needs.
