Q3 Is It Wrong To Be In A Relationship With The Opposite Sex In Our Youth - Sunil Poonen
Sunil Poonen · Aug 25, 2025 · 6m
The speaker addresses the natural attraction between young men and women, clarifying that the feeling itself is not sin, as it was created by God. The danger lies in how this attraction is perverted by media or allowed to become an idol that consumes one's focus. He strongly advises that the primary focus when attending church must be on the relationship with Jesus, not on finding a romantic partner. Furthermore, he cautions against premature commitment in youth, suggesting that true partnership is divinely provided when one is mature, and the best gift to a future spouse is maintaining 'pure eyes' by exercising self-control now.

Sunil Poonen · Aug 25, 2025 · 4m 12s

The key takeaway is to pray for deliverance from temptation, acknowledging that overcoming it requires dependence on God's power rather than self-effort.

Zac Poonen - "Christ Wants to Build a Pure Church" | Austin CFC | 2025-08-24
Zac Poonen · Aug 24, 2025 · 1h 32m
The church must be built upon the divine revelation of Christ, not merely on human knowledge or understanding gained from study. The true measure of a church is its ability to withstand the powers of darkness, which only Christ can build it against. Furthermore, believers must guard against the danger of self-justification and seeking the esteem of men, remembering that God values humility over impressive abilities like preaching or singing.

August 25 | Daily Devotion | Building The Church By Offering That Which Is Costly | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Aug 24, 2025 · 11m
The central message is that true devotion to God requires offering sacrifices that are costly, not cheap or worthless. Drawing from Malachi and 2 Samuel, the speaker contrasts offering lame, sick, or blind animals with offering what truly costs the giver something. He urges listeners to examine what they offer to God—whether it is a sacrifice of time, comfort, or resources—and to commit to a life of costly sacrifice for Christ.

August 24 | Daily Devotion | Completing God’s Plan For Our Lives | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Aug 23, 2025 · 10m
The speaker encourages listeners to reflect on the miracle of their existence, drawing from Psalm 139 to emphasize that God knew and planned for their lives before they were even formed.

August 23 | Daily Devotion | Our Final Destination Is To Become Like Christ | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Aug 22, 2025 · 10m
The most important goal in the Christian life is not merely reaching heaven, but being conformed to the image of Jesus Christ, which is God's predestined destination for us. The speaker warns against getting sidetracked by good but secondary activities, such as evangelism or worship, if they distract from this ultimate goal. All aspects of Christian living—including service and praise—must fit together like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle to reveal the complete picture of Christ's likeness in one's character.

Annie Poonen · Aug 22, 2025 · 50m
The message emphasizes the difference between worldly wisdom, which is characterized by selfish ambition and jealousy, and godly wisdom. Godly wisdom, described as pure, peaceable, and gentle, is fundamentally reasonable—meaning it is willing to listen, teachable, and yields to others.

August 22 | Daily Devotion | Never Evaluate Yourself By External Life And Be Deceived | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Aug 21, 2025 · 9m
True spirituality is not measured by external religious activities like knowing scripture, preaching, or singing, but by the daily willingness to deny one's own will and selfishness. The speaker emphasizes that one must constantly seek light on their own selfishness—whether in finances, family life, or ministry—and actively deny it to build a life foundation on the rock, rather than the shifting sand of mere understanding or emotion.

August 21 | Daily Devotion | Finish With Self-Will And Finish With Sinning | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Aug 20, 2025 · 10m
The speaker emphasizes that 1 Peter 4:1 promises that suffering in the flesh leads to ceasing from sin, which is not about physical health but about ceasing sinful habits like anger or complaining. He clarifies that 'flesh' in the New Testament refers to self-will, not just the physical body. True holiness means yielding to God's will, as exemplified by Jesus in John 6:38, who lived by the will of the Father.
