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.

Santosh Poonen · Mar 5, 2026 · 36s
Reverence for God is not characterized by a somber or downcast demeanor. Instead, true reverence involves lifting one's eyes upward, focusing on God rather than personal failures or earthly concerns. This upward gaze reflects a heart focused on the divine, regardless of recent struggles.

Santosh Poonen · Feb 13, 2026 · 1m 1s
True intimacy with God requires a balance between a close, loving relationship and a deep reverence for Him. Lacking intimacy while maintaining only reverence leads to legalism, which is characterized by fear rather than true awe. The speaker cautions against equating reverence with fear, even when preaching emphasizes God's welcoming nature.

Santosh Poonen · Jan 20, 2026 · 1m 1s
The speaker draws a parallel between Jesus praying for the filling of the Holy Spirit and the need for believers to do the same. He argues that a lack of power, anointing, or boldness in Christian lives stems from a lack of passion and burning desire to be filled with the Holy Spirit. The key takeaway is the necessity of actively desiring this filling through prayer.

2 Chron. 6:14 Holding God to His promise #santoshpoonen Full message: https://youtu.be/9v278E9e-Mg
Santosh Poonen · Nov 18, 2025 · 1m 1s
The sermon emphasizes that effective prayer involves reminding God of His prior promises rather than pleading or convincing Him. When believers pray with faith, citing what God has already declared, it delights Him and prompts Him to act. This principle is illustrated by Solomon's prayer, where he repeatedly points back to God's established promises.
