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.

Entering God’s Kingdom By Doing His Will — Ajay Chakravarthy — January 11, 2025
Ajay Chakravarthy · Jan 12, 2026 · 31m
The speaker uses the analogy of a driving test to emphasize that entering God's kingdom requires more than just saying Jesus' name; it demands doing the will of the Father. Citing Matthew 7:21, he warns that many who perform good works or miracles will still be rejected if they are acting out of their own will. Jesus serves as the ultimate example, consistently acting only according to the Father's will, which is the standard believers must follow.

Jesus: The Precious Cornerstone and Rock of Offense — Ajay Chakravarthy — December 21, 2025
Ajay Chakravarthy · Dec 22, 2025 · 51m
Jesus is described as both a precious cornerstone and a rock of offense, meaning belief in Him is valuable to some but causes stumbling for others. The sermon emphasizes that those who place their confidence in Jesus will never be disappointed, citing scripture and the Israelites' experience at the Red Sea.

The central message is that believers must actively seek to hear God's voice through His Word to discern His will in life's circumstances.

Let the One Who Boasts Boast in the Lord -- Ajay Chakravarthy -- January 19, 2025
Ajay Chakravarthy · Jan 20, 2025 · 46m
The central message is that all accomplishments, whether miraculous or otherwise, must ultimately bring glory to God. The speaker uses examples like the parting of the Red Sea, the healing of the blind man, and the raising of Lazarus to illustrate that human boasting is misplaced.

The central message is that believers should strive to live lives that fulfill God's perfect and unbelievable plans for them, ensuring they have no regrets in eternity.

Take to Heart These Words, for It Is Your Very Life — Ajay Chakravarthy — July 14, 2024
Ajay Chakravarthy · Jul 14, 2024 · 44m
The sermon emphasizes that God's word is vital for life, drawing parallels between the importance of scripture and the survival of the Apollo 13 astronauts. Just as the astronauts depended entirely on mission control's instructions to survive, believers must rely completely on God's word, as Jesus Himself demonstrated by quoting scripture when challenged. The central message is that our lives depend on hearing and following God's unchanging word.

Ajay Chakravarthy · May 13, 2024 · 22m
The sermon emphasizes the importance of taking God's Word literally, paying attention to every detail like periods and commas, as these hold divine significance. The speaker uses examples from scripture to illustrate that true faith involves believing and obeying God's word exactly as written, contrasting this with the doubts sown by the devil or human pride. Ultimately, the message calls for believers to confess their sins, trust in God's forgiveness, and actively forgive others to receive God's full pardon.

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.

Ajay Chakravarthy · Jan 8, 2024 · 18m
The sermon uses historical examples from the Bible, such as the parting of the Red Sea and the famine relief in Samaria, to illustrate that God fulfills His promises even when they seem impossible to believe.

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.

Unshakeable Spirit-Filled Life - Part 2 — Ajay Chakravarthy — July 9, 2023
Ajay Chakravarthy · Jul 10, 2023 · 44m
The sermon emphasizes building an unshakeable life by basing one's foundation on Jesus' words and actively obeying them.

The core message is that obedience to Christ's commands is the only way to remain steadfast through life's inevitable storms.

Ajay Chakravarthy · Jul 3, 2023 · 48m
The central message is that a life built upon obeying Jesus' teachings, particularly those found in the Sermon on the Mount, will remain unshaken through life's inevitable trials. The speaker uses analogies like the Leaning Tower of Pisa and the comparison of building on rock versus sand to illustrate that mere hearing of God's word is insufficient; active obedience is what provides a solid foundation for eternity. He urges the listeners to examine their lives and build their foundation on Christ's commands.

Words of Encouragement — Ajay Chakravarthy & Santosh Poonen — April 9, 2023
Ajay Chakravarthy · Apr 14, 2023 · 21m
The speaker encourages the audience to take the Word of God personally, recognizing that God speaks to us through scripture, as exemplified by First Thessalonians 2:13. He uses the analogy of the cross and the parable of the two debtors to emphasize that true understanding and application of God's forgiveness must move beyond mere intellectual assent. The central message is the need to actively internalize the truth so that one's life reflects a deep, personal love for God's grace.

Bitter Fruit of Having Our Own Way — Ajay Chakravarthy — January 29, 2023
Ajay Chakravarthy · Jan 30, 2023 · 46m
The sermon warns against the danger of living by one's own will, using Proverbs 1 to illustrate that ignoring God's word leads to bitter consequences. The speaker draws parallels between Peter's severe correction by Jesus for prioritizing man's interest over God's, and Lot's choice to settle in the prosperous but doomed plain near Sodom. Ultimately, the message urges reliance on God's guidance rather than self-determination.

Furthering God's Great Plans Through Our Lives — Ajay Chakravarthy — December 4, 2022
Ajay Chakravarthy · Dec 5, 2022 · 42m
The central message is that believers should dedicate their limited time and lives to furthering God's great plans rather than pursuing personal ambitions. The speaker emphasizes that life is numbered, urging listeners to use their time wisely, drawing parallels between financial scarcity and the scarcity of time. He concludes by assuring the audience of God's unwavering desire for them, citing the parable of the Prodigal Son to counter feelings of being unwanted.

Enter By the Door - True Repentance — Ajay Chakravarthy — November 13, 2022
Ajay Chakravarthy · Nov 14, 2022 · 52m
The sermon uses the analogy of entering through a door versus a window to discuss true repentance and salvation. Drawing from John 10, the speaker emphasizes that entering into God's eternal kingdom must be done through the designated door, which Jesus identifies as Himself. True repentance, which leads to salvation, is characterized by a sorrow according to God's will, unlike the sorrow of the world. The speaker warns against self-justification, citing King Saul's disobedience as an example of failing to enter through the proper path.

The Blessing of Abraham -- Ajay Chakravarthy -- February 13, 2022
Ajay Chakravarthy · Feb 14, 2022 · 47m
The speaker cautions against spiritual complacency, warning that relying solely on church services without personal devotion to Christ is dangerous. He emphasizes that true spiritual strength comes from a consistent, deep personal walk with God, citing Noah's 500 years of walking with God as an example. The core message is to actively maintain one's relationship with God by addressing sin and seeking His word daily, lest one become spiritually deaf or frantic when God's guidance is needed.

Ajay Chakravarthy · Nov 16, 2021 · 49m
The sermon emphasizes that the goal of Christian life is to have no regrets in eternity, drawing parallels between Mary's devotion and the believer's commitment to Jesus.

Words of Encouragement -- Ajay Chakravarthy & Chetan Chadalavada -- October 17, 2021
Ajay Chakravarthy · Oct 22, 2021 · 15m
The speaker emphasizes that while daily life focuses on physical realities, the truths of eternity, revealed through scripture and the Holy Spirit, must be grasped. He warns that these eternal truths fade if ignored, using the example of the rich man who thought he had time to reconcile with God. The central message is the urgency of setting one's eternal matters right, as one's final judgment rests solely with the Lord, not with earthly achievements or possessions.

My Father's Heart -- Ajay Chakravarthy -- May 30, 2021
Ajay Chakravarthy · May 31, 2021 · 42m
The speaker emphasizes that the Bible is not a newspaper to be read for daily news, but rather an intense love letter from God detailing His plan for the reader. He draws parallels between Jesus's agony in the Garden of Gethsemane and God's deep care for His children, assuring the audience that God's love is intensely personal. The message concludes by advising that before asking for prayer, one must first address any unconfessed sin or unresolved relational issues so that their heart does not condemn them.

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.
