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.

Come to Jesus -- Ajay Chakravarthy -- July 19, 2026
Ajay Chakravarthy · Jul 20, 2026 · 48m
The central message is an invitation to come to Jesus for rest when feeling weary or heavy-laden. The speaker uses passages like Matthew 11:28 and the teachings on worry (Matthew 6) to illustrate that true peace comes from surrendering anxieties about life, food, and clothing to God's care. Ultimately, coming to Christ is presented as a necessary response to God's longing for worship in spirit and truth.

Seeing Jesus Makes It Worth It All (Parting Exhortation) -- Ajay Chakravarthy -- June 22, 2026
Ajay Chakravarthy · Jul 2, 2026 · 13m
The central message is that seeing Jesus Christ fundamentally changes one's priorities, making everything else seem worthless by comparison. The speaker uses examples like the prodigal son and Paul on the Damascus road to illustrate that true commitment comes not from adhering to a list of commandments, but from experiencing the value of Christ himself. This realization—seeing the 'pearl' or the treasure—is what motivates us to willingly give up everything else.

Many Who Are Last Shall Be First — Ajay Chakravarthy — March 15, 2026
Ajay Chakravarthy · Mar 15, 2026 · 52m
The sermon emphasizes that God judges based on the heart, not outward appearance, and that those who seem last on earth may be first in eternity. Key themes include the necessity of seeking the Lord while He is near, the profound importance of forgiveness, and the need to actively reconcile with others. The speaker encourages the congregation to forgive others from the heart, mirroring God's own ability to remember past good deeds.

Jesus Did Not Come to Condemn but to Save -- Ajay Chakravarthy -- February 8, 2026
Ajay Chakravarthy · Feb 8, 2026 · 52m
The sermon emphasizes that Jesus came to save, not to condemn, drawing heavily from John 3:16-17. The speaker uses the analogy of a blind spot in driving and the parable of the Pharisee and the tax collector to illustrate that human efforts to earn righteousness are insufficient. True standing before God requires acknowledging our need for grace, as all our good deeds are like filthy garments.

God Who is Able to Do More Than We Ask or Think -- Ajay Chakravarthy -- January 25, 2026
Ajay Chakravarthy · Jan 25, 2026 · 47m
The sermon emphasizes that God's power far exceeds human comprehension, drawing parallels between the vastness of the stars and the limitless capacity of the Creator. The speaker urges the congregation to maintain faith by remembering God's omnipotence, contrasting human limitations (like clay) with God's boundless ability (like the potter). Ultimately, the message is a call to trust in a God who can do far more than we can ask or even imagine.

Don’t Miss God’s Special Purpose for You in His Body — Ajay Chakravarthy — August 24, 2025
Ajay Chakravarthy · Aug 26, 2025 · 13m
The central message is that every single member of the Body of Christ is important, even those whose contributions are unseen. Drawing parallels from the body's hidden parts (like the heart) and the disciples who were not always visible, the speaker emphasizes that God has a specific, vital purpose for every person in the church. Believers should recognize that their presence in the body is not accidental and that their unique role, whether visible or hidden, is essential to God's plan.

Ajay Chakravarthy · Jun 22, 2025 · 54m

Glory of God Shining Through His Church — Ajay Chakravarthy — May 26, 2024
Ajay Chakravarthy · May 27, 2024 · 46m
The speaker emphasizes that just as an architect builds a building with purpose, God builds His church, giving every person present a specific purpose. He urges the congregation to be transparent, like clear windows, so that the light of Christ can shine through the church. The message concludes by drawing parallels from scripture, warning against self-will and self-reliance, citing Jesus's stern warnings and God's reduction of Israel's army to prevent boasting in human strength.

Being One Who Is Precious and Whom God Values Highly — Ajay Chakravarthy — April 14, 2024
Ajay Chakravarthy · Apr 15, 2024 · 44m
The sermon uses the analogy of rare and precious items, like gold and pearls, to illustrate how God views people on Earth. It contrasts those who bring joy to God (like Job, who exemplified integrity and fear of God) with those who are like thorns or sand. The central message is that true value in God's eyes comes from a life characterized by integrity, uprightness, and a deep fear of God, rather than material wealth or outward piety.

Recognizing and Following the True Jesus — Ajay Chakravarthy — February 18, 2024
Ajay Chakravarthy · Feb 19, 2024 · 48m
The speaker uses the analogy of fireworks, saving the best for a grand finale, to illustrate that God's greatest revelation was sending Jesus Christ. He contrasts the many prophets and miracles with the unique protection and mystery surrounding Jesus's birth and early life, noting that God's ways are higher than ours. The message emphasizes that God often operates in hidden ways, requiring faith to recognize His true work.

Entering the Kingdom of Heaven by Doing the Father’s Will — Ajay Chakravarthy — February 4, 2024
Ajay Chakravarthy · Feb 5, 2024 · 52m
The speaker emphasizes the unique blessing of those who believe in Jesus' resurrection without having witnessed it, comparing this to the apostles' experience. He argues that believers today are privileged to receive divine understanding through the Spirit, allowing them to access mysteries of the Kingdom of Heaven that were previously inaccessible. Ultimately, the message centers on the profound privilege of knowing God as Father through Christ, a reality that surpasses even the greatest prophets.

A Pure Love for Jesus Only — Ajay Chakravarthy — January 21, 2024
Ajay Chakravarthy · Jan 22, 2024 · 41m
The central goal of Christian instruction is to cultivate a pure love for God and others, which must remain uncontaminated by other loves. The speaker warns that in the last days, this pure love for God risks being diluted by loves for self, money, and pleasure. He illustrates this by contrasting the superficial desire for temporary fixes with the necessity of embracing the 'living water' offered by Christ, which leads to eternal life.

What Am I Still Lacking? — Ajay Chakravarthy — November 12, 2023
Ajay Chakravarthy · Nov 13, 2023 · 52m
The sermon uses the story of the young man who sought eternal life but felt something was missing, contrasting it with Jesus' teachings on discipleship. The central message is that true discipleship requires making absolute choices: one must love Jesus more than family, possessions, or even one's own life. The speaker emphasizes that one cannot follow Christ while simultaneously loving the world or one's possessions.

2. Mephibosheth - God is Not Far From Us — Ajay Chakravarthy — July 13, 2023
Ajay Chakravarthy · Jul 20, 2023 · 29m
The sermon uses the story of Mephibosheth to illustrate that God's acceptance and grace are not based on personal merit but on the faithfulness of others, specifically Jonathan's covenant with David. The speaker emphasizes that just as Mephibosheth was shown undeserved kindness through Jonathan, believers are accepted by God solely through Christ's sacrifice, not by their own efforts. This highlights the profound reality of grace and divine favor.

A Precious Tested Faith That Pleases God — Ajay Chakravarthy — May 14, 2023
Ajay Chakravarthy · May 15, 2023 · 46m
The speaker emphasizes that the greatest gift one can give to God is faith, citing examples like the young girl who showed faith despite being captive. He argues that if we believe God created the heavens and the Earth, we should trust His ability to handle all other aspects of our lives. Furthermore, he stresses the immense care God took in knitting each person together, and points to Christ's willingness to be forsaken as the ultimate demonstration of God's love.

A Sure Foundation — Ajay Chakravarthy — March 12, 2023
Ajay Chakravarthy · Mar 13, 2023 · 52m
The core message centers on the necessity of building one's Christian life upon the sure foundation of God's initial love and grace, rather than merely accumulating religious activities. The speaker uses the analogy of the church at Ephesus, which neglected its first love, and illustrates the concept through the life of Mephibosheth, emphasizing that true strength comes from acknowledging God's foundational love. Ultimately, the message calls for a return to the source of faith, which is God's prior love for us.

Rivers of Living Water from Innermost Being — Ajay Chakravarthy — January 15, 2023
Ajay Chakravarthy · Jan 16, 2023 · 46m
The message emphasizes that true spiritual power and blessing come not just from external experiences, but from being filled with the Holy Spirit from the innermost being. The speaker contrasts the temporary power of the Old Testament prophets with the indwelling presence of the Holy Spirit promised through Jesus. He urges the audience to seek an internal filling so that the overflow of the Spirit can genuinely change one's life and lead to true satisfaction, unlike the fleeting pleasures of the world.

Ajay Chakravarthy · Sep 18, 2021 · 17m
The speaker urges the audience to deeply consider the profound value of knowing Jesus, comparing it to a hidden treasure or a pearl of great worth that demands giving up all earthly priorities. He emphasizes that true love for Christ must be sustained by remembering the depth of God's sacrifice on the cross, warning against letting the passion for Jesus wane. The message concludes by advising against taking offense, drawing a parallel to John the Baptist's doubt, and encouraging reliance on Christ's grace rather than unmet expectations.

Ajay Chakravarthy · Jul 31, 2021 · 18m
The speaker encourages the audience to develop a deep spiritual thirst for God's presence, moving beyond mere intellectual understanding.

God to Whom I Belong -- Ajay Chakravarthy -- July 11, 2021
Ajay Chakravarthy · Jul 12, 2021 · 48m
The central message is that believers find ultimate security and belonging in God, who paid the price for their forgiveness. The speaker emphasizes that we are purchased by Christ's blood and should rest in God's care, comparing it to a weaned child resting in a mother's arms. He warns against self-reliance and misplaced trust, using biblical examples to show that true security comes from faith in God's protective and benevolent plan, not from our own perceived safety measures.

In My Father's Keeping -- Ajay Chakravarthy -- June 20, 2021
Ajay Chakravarthy · Jun 27, 2021 · 57m
The sermon emphasizes that knowing God as Father is not dependent on physical lineage, but rather on adopting a heart of care, like that of a father or mother. The speaker draws examples from Paul's pastoral care and Jesus's reactions to acts of faith, concluding that the core requirement for believers is to maintain daily, unwavering faith that God cares for them personally, even amidst life's storms.

He Knows My Name -- Ajay Chakravarthy -- April 25, 2021
Ajay Chakravarthy · Apr 26, 2021 · 41m
The sermon emphasizes that God knows and cares for every individual by name, drawing parallels from Jesus calling Mary Magdalene and Zacchaeus by name. The speaker urges listeners to move beyond viewing themselves as mere numbers, comparing their worth to the intimate knowledge a parent has of their children. Ultimately, the message encourages believers to have a deep, personal faith that God is intimately interested in every detail of their daily lives.

Words of Encouragement -- Ajay Chakravarthy & Dave Bertsch -- March 28, 2021
Ajay Chakravarthy · Apr 3, 2021 · 17m
The message encourages believers to resist the temptation to seek approval from people, drawing parallels between Jesus's ministry and personal life. True fulfillment comes not from public recognition or ministry success, but from living for the approval of God alone. The speaker emphasizes that on the final day, only the Lord's opinion matters, urging the congregation to prioritize God's will over human praise.

A True Picture of God -- Ajay Chakravarthy -- March 21, 2021
Ajay Chakravarthy · Mar 22, 2021 · 53m
The central message is that our understanding of God dictates how we experience Him in our lives. If we operate from a flawed perception—such as viewing God as hard or exacting—our walk with Him will be painful. To correct this, we must look to Jesus, who perfectly reveals the Father's nature, which is characterized by unconditional love, as exemplified by the parable of the lost sheep. God's heart is to seek out and rejoice over the lost.
