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.

August 2 | Daily Devotion | Jesus Became A Curse So That We Can Be A Blessing | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Aug 1, 2026 · 11m
The message emphasizes that Jesus became a curse on the cross to redeem believers from the law's curse. This act allows us to receive the Holy Spirit, which empowers us to fulfill God's promise: that we will be blessed and become a blessing to every family we encounter. True spiritual fullness, marked by the aroma of Christ, results in leaving goodness and loving kindness wherever we go.

July 27 | Daily Devotion | Taking Every Thought Captive To The Obedience Of Christ | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jul 26, 2026 · 10m
The message emphasizes that Christian understanding requires dethroning the intellect rather than destroying it, as true transformation comes from the Holy Spirit. The speaker warns against two extremes: those who ignore the spirit and rely solely on their mind, and those who treat the mind as supreme. True spiritual insight is achieved when one yields to the Holy Spirit, allowing Him to rule over the mind's thoughts and strongholds.

True Riches And Wise Fathers | ನಿಜವಾದ ಐಶ್ವರ್ಯ ಹಾಗೂ ಜ್ಞಾನಿಗಳಾದ ತಂದೆಗಳು | Zac Poonen | Kannada
Zac Poonen · Jul 17, 2026 · 35m
The sermon emphasizes the need for believers to be diligent in examining their inner lives, comparing it to how carefully we tend to our physical bodies, especially our eyes. True riches are identified as conforming to Christ's likeness, receiving the anointing of the Holy Spirit (which should be sought daily), and having revelation from Scripture that surpasses mere intellectual understanding.

July 10 | Daily Devotion | Revelation Makes The Followers Of Jesus Whole-Hearted | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jul 9, 2026 · 10m
The central message emphasizes that true spiritual understanding and discipleship come not from academic knowledge of scripture, but from the illumination and revelation of the Holy Spirit. The speaker uses examples from Matthew 11:25 and Matthew 16 to show that God reveals truth to the humble, even those who are uneducated. Ultimately, knowing the Bible is less important than having a heart filled with the Holy Spirit's revelation.

Relating to Christ as Our Bridegroom — Zac Poonen — June 19, 2026
Zac Poonen · Jul 2, 2026 · 57m
The central message distinguishes between merely preaching the gospel (Mark 16) and making disciples (Matthew 28:19). The speaker emphasizes that true commitment means desiring to be with Christ wherever he is—on earth or in eternity—rather than focusing solely on a heavenly destination. This deep relationship, likened to a bridegroom and bride, requires being filled daily with the Holy Spirit to truly follow Jesus.

June 19 | Daily Devotion | Does Jesus Entrust Himself To You? | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jun 18, 2026 · 9m
The speaker contrasts merely believing in Jesus with experiencing Him entrusting Himself to an individual, using John 2:23-24 as a key example. He emphasizes that true commitment requires more than just intellectual belief; it demands the personal assurance of Christ's trust. Furthermore, drawing from Simeon's experience (Luke 2), he teaches that when Christ is powerfully present in a church through the Holy Spirit, hidden thoughts within people's hearts will be revealed, leading to spiritual rising and falling.

June 15 | Daily Devotion | Have Peace With God By Having A Clear Conscience | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jun 14, 2026 · 12m
True peace with God is achieved by keeping one's conscience clear through confession and reconciliation. This internal peace allows believers to discern God's will, which is characterized by inner tranquility when seeking the glory of God. Ultimately, maintaining a clean conscience is essential for hearing God's voice and being prepared for the resurrection of the righteous.

June 14 | Daily Devotion | It Is Possible To Set Our Mind On The Things Above | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jun 13, 2026 · 12m
The message challenges listeners to move beyond merely understanding Christian doctrine and instead grapple with how to practically live out a heavenly-minded existence. Drawing from passages like Colossians 3:2 and the Sermon on the Mount, the speaker emphasizes that true righteousness is internal—concerning values, motives, and heart attitudes—rather than external performance. The ultimate key to achieving this high standard is not human effort but being filled with the Holy Spirit.

June 8 | Daily Devotion | You Are Very Valuable To God | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Jun 7, 2026 · 12m
The speaker emphasizes that humans are uniquely valuable to God, noting that while God created the world through spoken word, He personally formed man and woman from dust. This inherent value counters Satan's accusations of worthlessness. Furthermore, the message assures listeners that they will never be left spiritually insecure because Jesus promises to send the Holy Spirit as the permanent Helper, ensuring God's constant presence.

May 20 | Daily Devotion | Be Filled With The Holy Spirit And Do Not Grieve Him | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · May 19, 2026 · 11m
Zac Poonen urges believers that the Christian life is impossible without being filled with the Holy Spirit, and that we must earnestly ask God for this empowering just as we would pursue any vital connection. Once filled, we must not grieve the Spirit—who is a sad friend, not an angry enemy—through cutting remarks, backbiting, and ungodly speech, especially toward loved ones. He calls listeners to make a clean break from these sins so as not to break God's heart.

May 19 | Daily Devotion | God's Goal For Man In The New Covenant | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · May 18, 2026 · 11m
Zac Poonen contrasts God's earthly goals for man under the Old Covenant with His spiritual goal under the New Covenant—to make believers like Jesus Christ. He challenges listeners to test whether they have truly entered the New Covenant by asking if they are more disturbed by sin than sickness and whether they value and pursue heavenly riches over earthly ones. He emphasizes that God controls circumstances, wealth, and temptation to keep believers on track toward Christlikeness, empowered by the Holy Spirit.

6. Four Things That Happened on the Cross — Zac Poonen — April 18, 2026
Zac Poonen · Apr 22, 2026 · 51m
The speaker emphasizes that the true measure of a church is not its size, but whether it is gathered by the Holy Spirit in the name of Jesus. He recounts his own experience leaving a Baptist church and starting a new work with his wife, stressing that the focus must be on holiness and a right relationship with God rather than institutional affiliation or money. The message calls for a crucial decision regarding adherence to the Spirit's guidance over established doctrine.

April 20 | Daily Devotion | Pursue Love More Than Anything Else | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Apr 19, 2026 · 9m
Zac Poonen calls believers to prioritize love above all else, warning against getting caught up in minor doctrinal matters while neglecting the central law of love for others. He emphasizes that true spiritual growth comes not from external rules or one's own efforts, but from asking God to fill us with His nature and Holy Spirit to enable genuine, Christ-like love toward all people, even those difficult to love.

April 19 | Daily Devotion | Confess The Promises Of God And Not Your Failures | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Apr 18, 2026 · 9m
Zac Poonen teaches that believers should confess God's promises and partake of His divine nature through the Holy Spirit, rather than focusing on doctrinal correctness or external behaviors. He emphasizes that the Holy Spirit's transformative power gradually changes our nature from within, enabling us to overcome sin and worldly desires, and that we should speak God's promises over our failures and past defeats to experience true freedom and righteousness.

April 8 | Daily Devotion | The Holy Spirit Comes Inside Us To Manifest Life Of God | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Apr 7, 2026 · 10m
Zac Poonen explains the fundamental difference between God's work in the Old Testament versus the New Testament: in the Old Testament, God helped people externally from the outside, but could not change their hearts from within; in the New Testament, the Holy Spirit comes to live inside believers, providing inner power to overcome sin and live righteously. He uses examples like Peter's denial of Jesus and David's failures to illustrate how external help and human determination are insufficient—only the indwelling Holy Spirit gives believers the strength to resist temptation and live a life honoring God.

The Baptism And Fullness Of The Holy Spirit - Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Apr 6, 2026 · 51m
The speaker shares his personal journey of Christian growth, contrasting his early, fluctuating spiritual life with the biblical ideal of a life that shines brighter and brighter like the dawn. He emphasizes that true spiritual growth requires hitting 'rock bottom'—a point of deep inner failure—before God can lift us up. The culmination of this process for him was receiving the baptism in the Holy Spirit, after which his life began a consistent upward trajectory, fulfilling the promise of Proverbs 4:18.

April 5 | Daily Devotion | Listen To The Voice Of God And Your Conscience | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Apr 4, 2026 · 10m
God speaks to us every day through His Holy Spirit, and He gave humans a conscience to guide us toward righteousness—something no animal possesses. The conscience is the most important part of us, constantly convicting us of wrongdoing, and we must preserve it by listening to God's voice daily, confessing our sins immediately, and keeping our hearts clean through Christ's redemptive work.

March 31 | Daily Devotion | Glorying Only In The Cross Of Christ | Zac Poone
Zac Poonen · Mar 30, 2026 · 9m
Zac Poonen teaches that while Christ's death for our sins is foundational to Christian faith, believers must progress beyond this basic understanding to deeper spiritual maturity. True Christian advancement requires dying to self-ambition and worldly status (symbolized by baptism), being filled with the genuine power of the Holy Spirit, and living entirely for Christ rather than personal desires or genealogical pride.

Rivers of Life Flowing Through Us -- Zac Poonen -- March 29, 2026
Zac Poonen · Mar 29, 2026 · 57m
Jesus invites all who are deeply thirsty to come to him and drink, emphasizing that this invitation requires a deep, life-altering commitment, not just intellectual agreement. This commitment transforms the believer's life from merely being satisfied (a cup) to becoming a source of continuous blessing for others (a well). The process involves being born again and continually allowing the Holy Spirit to flow through one's life to benefit the community.

March 26 |Daily Devotion | The Secret Of Godliness Is Not In The Doctrine But In The Person Of Jesus
Zac Poonen · Mar 25, 2026 · 8m
Zac Poonen teaches that true godliness comes not from understanding Christian doctrine intellectually, but from personally encountering Jesus Christ through revelation and the Holy Spirit. He emphasizes that seeing Jesus as a man who was tempted like us yet overcame sin through the Holy Spirit alone transforms lives, whereas knowing the doctrine of Christ coming in the flesh without seeing the Person himself produces only carnal, legalistic religion.

Being Filled with the Spirit and Building Christ's Body — Zac Poonen — March 22, 2026
Zac Poonen · Mar 22, 2026 · 53m
The speaker shares his personal testimony of conversion, emphasizing that his draw to Christ was not based on self-interest but on the wonder of His love displayed on the cross. He urges listeners to read the Bible not as a storybook, but as a living word that draws them into a deep, personal relationship with Jesus. Ultimately, he stresses the importance of the fellowship of believers, as the Lord desires to build His body through His people.

March 12 | Daily Devotion | Avoid Those Who Quench The Fire To Walk The Narrow Way | Zac Poonen
Zac Poonen · Mar 11, 2026 · 11m
Zac Poonen teaches on walking the narrow way between worldliness and legalism, emphasizing the importance of protecting the fire of God's Spirit in one's heart. He warns against associating with people who quench spiritual passion through gossip, worldly distractions, and false teachings, and instructs believers to seek fellowship with those who genuinely pursue Jesus and call upon the Lord with pure hearts. Scripture passages from Romans 16 and 2 Timothy 2 establish the biblical principle of turning away from those who cause divisions and pursuing righteousness alongside faithful believers.

Zac Poonen · Feb 28, 2026 · 12m
To cultivate genuine thanksgiving in all situations, we must be filled with the Holy Spirit rather than pursuing worldly pleasures and luxuries. Being filled with the Spirit transforms us from naturally complaining people into those who give thanks in everything, which reflects the character of heaven itself and demonstrates authentic faith regardless of our circumstances.

Zac Poonen · Feb 24, 2026 · 10m
Zac Poonen emphasizes that under the new covenant, God speaks directly to us through Jesus Christ via the Holy Spirit, not merely through prophets, preachers, or even the Bible alone. He urges believers to develop a personal, direct relationship with Jesus by maintaining a clear conscience, being honest with God, and listening to the Holy Spirit's voice rather than relying solely on external teaching or written Scripture.
