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 - 9 Schemes of Satan
Bobby McDonald · Jun 3, 2024 · 33m
Bobby McDonald identifies nine schemes Satan uses to pull Christians away from Jesus through temptation and sin. He emphasizes that recognizing Satan's specific strategies—such as hiding consequences while emphasizing the appeal of sin, justifying sinful behavior, and ignoring small transgressions—equips believers to fight more effectively. McDonald calls Christians to flee temptation when possible, resist justification for sin, and take even minor sins seriously in pursuit of becoming exact reflections of Christ.

Bobby McDonald - Temptation: Watch, Pray, Resist, Flee
Bobby McDonald · Aug 1, 2022 · 25m
The sermon emphasizes that Christian life is a race requiring constant vigilance against temptation, which can manifest as covetousness, lust, pride, or fear. To truly overcome these struggles, the speaker stresses that mere effort is insufficient; one must be filled with the Holy Spirit to endure the fight with joy and live a life dedicated to giving glory to God.

Bobby McDonald - 9 Tactics of Satan
Bobby McDonald · Apr 5, 2021 · 36m
The speaker discusses nine tactics Satan uses to tempt Christians into sin, emphasizing that the devil seeks small compromises rather than just major sins. He details the first tactic as doubting God's love and goodness, using examples from Genesis and Jesus' temptation in the wilderness. He also addresses the tactic of fear, drawing comfort from the assurance that salvation rests on God's perfect love, not on personal performance.

Bobby McDonald - The Cushion That Jesus Rested On
Bobby McDonald · Dec 28, 2020 · 24m
The central message encourages listeners to find deep rest and peace, even amidst life's storms, by modeling Jesus's trust in God. Drawing from the account of Jesus sleeping in the boat during a storm, the speaker emphasizes that true rest comes from weaving together the love of God and the power of God. This combination provides a stable cushion of peace that sustains us through any difficulty.

Bobby McDonald - Do You Face Goliath Like David Did?
Bobby McDonald · Dec 12, 2019 · 23m
The speaker reflects on David and Goliath, emphasizing that true confidence in God is not based on personal ability but on God's power. He teaches that faith requires persistence, even when efforts fail, drawing parallels between David's preparation (taking five stones) and the need to remain steadfast in spiritual battles. Ultimately, the message encourages believers to face life's 'giants'—whether external or internal, like bitterness or lack of self-control—with unwavering confidence in God's provision.

Bobby McDonald - The Eyes Of The Lord Are In Every Place
Bobby McDonald · Nov 4, 2017 · 9m
The sermon warns that Satan's primary tactic is to convince believers that God does not love them, comparing this to a persistent gossip trying to tear apart a marriage. The speaker emphasizes that God is watching us in every temptation, as stated in Proverbs 15:3. Therefore, believers must live every moment as if Christ is present, choosing to deny themselves and resist temptation to bring joy to God.

Bobby McDonald - Be Strong In The Lord
Bobby McDonald · Oct 17, 2017 · 12m
The central message is that Christians are called to be strong in the Lord, drawing strength from the armor God provides. The speaker emphasizes that true strength is measured by what it takes to discourage us, urging listeners not to be broken by small, everyday circumstances. He encourages relying on God's armor rather than succumbing to discouragement, anger, or anxiety over minor issues.

Bobby McDonald - It May Not Be Easy, But He Has Guaranteed Us The Victory
Bobby McDonald · Nov 7, 2016 · 10m
The central message is that Christians have guaranteed victory through Christ's authority, which is empowered by the Holy Spirit. The speaker emphasizes that while God provides the power to overcome sin and temptation, He does not promise that the process will be easy; rather, the struggle is necessary for believers to learn dependence on Him through prayer and His Word. The ultimate goal is to participate actively with Christ in the spiritual battle against the devil.

Bobby McDonald - Emotions: Good Servants But Terrible Masters
Bobby McDonald · Jan 12, 2016 · 10m
The central message is that while emotions can be good servants, they become terrible masters when they contradict God's will. Drawing from Jesus's life, the speaker emphasizes that true discipleship requires actively rejecting feelings of self-pity, shame, and indulgence in worldly desires, just as Jesus did on the cross. This requires a conscious, hostile rejection of any inner inclination that pulls one away from God's purpose.

Bobby McDonald - Colossians 1:29
Bobby McDonald · Jun 29, 2015 · 13m
The central message is that the Christian life is not built by human effort but by relying on what God has already provided in Christ. Drawing from Ephesians 6, the speaker details the 'full armor of God'—truth, righteousness, the gospel of peace, faith, salvation, and the Word of God—as essential tools for spiritual warfare. True strength comes from grasping these divine provisions rather than self-effort.

Bobby McDonald - Colossians 1:21
Bobby McDonald · Mar 29, 2015 · 7m
The central message is the necessity of actively taking every thought captive to the obedience of Christ to combat a mind set hostile toward God. The speaker emphasizes that true victory over temptation requires a proactive surrender—a pre-determined decision to yield one's will to God's desires, much like programming a safe system. This surrender, exemplified by watching and praying, allows believers to overcome temptations when they arise.
