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.

Bobby McDonald - Encouragements While Building A Three Story House
Bobby McDonald · Dec 20, 2021 · 19m
The speaker uses the analogy of a three-story building to illustrate the dimensions of the Christian life: the foundation is confidence in God's love; the first floor is the individual walk with God; the second floor is family; and the third floor is church life. He emphasizes that each level must be built upon the one beneath it, stressing the need for boldness through God's Fatherly love, vigilance against sin, and consistent discipline to make progress in faith.

Bobby McDonald - Who Is Caring For God's Familiy
Bobby McDonald · Jun 7, 2017 · 17m
The speaker emphasizes that the Christian goal is to reflect Jesus by growing in personal purity and functioning corporately within the local church. He argues that caring for God's family—the local church—is a divine responsibility, drawing parallels between caring for one's own family and caring for fellow believers. Ultimately, the message calls for a renewed burden for the local church, recognizing that the care for God's family is essential to the believer's joy and fulfilling Christ's commission.

Bobby McDonald - 2 Things God Impressed Upon Me In 2016
Bobby McDonald · Dec 26, 2016 · 9m
The speaker emphasizes that the ultimate goal for Christians is to be a reflection of Jesus, which requires both personal purity and functioning within the local church. He stresses that true discipleship means centering one's entire life and prayers around God's will, rather than personal desires. Furthermore, he argues that the most valuable work on earth is building up the church, which is achieved through obedience and the breaking of one's own will.

Bobby McDonald - Patiently Bearing With One Another In Love
Bobby McDonald · Oct 17, 2016 · 14m
The central message is the necessity of patiently bearing with one another in love, drawing from passages like Colossians 3:13 and Ephesians 4. The speaker distinguishes between forgiving, which is a one-time act, and bearing with, which implies continually forgiving and not holding grudges. Ultimately, the speaker encourages believers to adopt a posture of patience, trusting that God's sovereign hand is at work even in difficult circumstances, and modeling God's own patience toward others.

Bobby McDonald - Be Teachable
Bobby McDonald · Sep 26, 2016 · 7m
The central message is the necessity of being teachable and recognizing that Christian growth requires more than just the Bible; it requires the community of the local church. The speaker warns that the untaught and unstable can distort scripture, and true spiritual maturity is achieved by submitting to the teaching provided by God through apostles, prophets, teachers, and pastors. Pride, specifically the belief that one can succeed alone, is identified as the greatest hindrance to progress.

Bobby McDonald - Eagerness To Follow Jesus
Bobby McDonald · Aug 22, 2016 · 9m
The sermon emphasizes that the Christian life requires an eagerness to follow Jesus, mirroring the Ethiopian eunuch's willing commitment. This commitment is not a one-time event but a daily choice to die to self and live for Christ. Furthermore, the speaker clarifies that church membership involves a voluntary commitment to submit to the local church's elders for mutual care and guidance, distinguishing committed members from mere visitors.

Bobby McDonald - The New Covenant Good Samaritan
Bobby McDonald · May 2, 2016 · 13m
The speaker emphasizes that the goal of Christians is to reflect Jesus by growing in personal purity and functioning corporately within the church. He draws parallels from the Good Samaritan parable, arguing that spiritually, people are often robbed and beaten by Satan, leaving them spiritually incapacitated. Therefore, the ministry of the Good Samaritan today involves prayer and encouragement—literally 'picking people up' and carrying them to safety.

The central message is the critical importance of diligently preserving unity within the church and in personal relationships.

True Christian living requires prioritizing fellowship and unity over personal preferences or doctrinal disagreements.

Bobby McDonald · Oct 12, 2015 · 11m
The speaker discusses how Christians are called to reflect Jesus by growing in personal purity and functioning within the local church. He shares three lessons learned from difficult people: first, recognizing that we ourselves are flawed, which fosters mercy; second, embracing the call to love enemies and pray for persecutors, mirroring God's kindness to us; and third, understanding that influencing others is best done through gentle love and warmth rather than force or confrontation.

Bobby McDonald - Colossians 1:22
Bobby McDonald · Apr 19, 2015 · 3m 55s
The central message is that Christians should strive to be presented to God at the end as holy, blameless, and beyond reproach. This goal is achieved both individually through personal purity and corporately by building up one another within the church. The speaker emphasizes that the best gifts we can give God are our character and the spiritual cleansing we achieve for ourselves and for our brothers and sisters in Christ.

Bobby McDonald - Colossians 1:18
Bobby McDonald · Mar 9, 2015 · 8m
Jesus Christ is established as the head of the body, which is the church, meaning believers are meant to actively participate in God's work rather than passively receiving it. The sermon emphasizes that Christian life requires taking responsibility and laboring for Christ, both in personal growth and within the community. Ultimately, the goal is to ensure that Jesus remains preeminent in every area of life, causing all other concerns to dim.

Bobby McDonald - Having a burden for the local church
Bobby McDonald · Jan 26, 2015 · 17m
The central message is that a godly love for the local church is a commitment to concern for the spiritual growth of fellow believers, aiming for Christ-likeness. True unity requires moving beyond self-concern and embracing the shared journey toward this ultimate goal. The speaker uses the Israelites' unbelief regarding the Promised Land to illustrate that we must fully trust God's plan for the church's development, even when the process is difficult or unseen.

Bobby McDonald - Philippians 3:17
Bobby McDonald · Sep 15, 2014 · 7m
The passage encourages believers to follow the example of those who are striving to be like Christ, urging them to observe and emulate the godly qualities they see in others. The speaker emphasizes that the church community acts like a picture of Jesus, where each individual possesses a 'strip' or piece of Christ's image. By observing the gifts and godliness in fellow believers, one is motivated to grow in those areas where they are lacking.
