One of the main themes of the book of Colossians is that we are to glorify Christ no matter what we are doing. At the end of chapter three, Paul goes into detail describing what this looks like in our marriages, our families, and even at work. Listen in as Pastor David teaches on these important truths.
Jesus - Our Life
You may have heard the saying "don't put all your eggs in one basket." Well, for Christians, this is bad advice. Jesus is everything to a believer. He is our strength. He is our refuge. He is our LIFE. In Colossians 4, Paul encourages us to put ALL of our trust in God, because He is trustworthy. Listen in as Pastor David teaches on this important truth.
The TLC of Mission
Personal evangelism is not easy. At times it can be awkward and we can feel like we are failing. It does't have to be that way. In Act 17, Paul shows us a great example of how to reach out to new people. Listen in as missionary Kristian Tjemsland teaches us the importance of travel, links, and community when working to spread the Gospel.
How To Say "Thanks" to God
God has been so good to Calvary Chapel for 38 years now. How can we possibly begin to thank Him for all that He has done? Pastor Sandy Adams from Calvary Chapel Stone Mountain shows us from God's Word what the proper response is to God's faithfulness to us. Listen in as he preaches from Psalm 116:12-14.
Encouraged Hearts
We need God's help. One way He helps us is by encouraging us through His bride, the Church. Through Jesus, we now have the Holy Spirit to guide us as we dive deep with one another in community. If a church is going to be healthy, it's going to take a group of people looking to God to help them see one another as God sees them. Listen in as Pastor David teaches from Colossians 2.
The Hope of Glory
God is not capable of making a mistake. This is an important truth to remember in the tough times and the easy ones, because it keeps us ground in Christ Jesus when we need Him most. Listen in as Pastor David teaches from Colossians 1.
Christ First
When Paul writes to the church at Colossae, he doesn't mince words about how they should prioritize their lives. He tells them "in everything He might have the supremacy." In many ways, putting Christ first is harder for us now than it has ever been. We are so busy that some things sneak before God before we even realize it. Listen in as Pastor David teaches from Colossians 1.
Who Do You Trust?
When God calls us to Himself, He wants every part of us. King Asa found this out the hard way in 2 Chronicles 14-16. God wants us to trust Him with ALL of our heart, soul, mind and strength. If we do that, He promises to direct our path. Listen in as Pastor David teaches this important truth.
Responding In Faith
Have you ever searched for God's help, but didn't like the answer He gave you? We see an exmple of this in 2 Kings 7 where a leader of Israel's armies doubted God's plan, so he missed out on what the Lord blessed the nation with. Listen in as Pastor David teaches on how God can save a bad situation using the least expected people.
Delight In Impossible
If you've spent any amount of time in God's Word, you've probably noticed that many of your favorite Bible characters are far from perfect. In fact, many of us would never have picked them to do great things. Lucky for us, God delights is choosing the broken and weak to do His work. Listen in is Pastor David expounds on this truth.
When Fear Runs Deep
Have you ever had one of those days where everything seems to be going wrong? We all have. King Jehoshaphat experienced this to a pretty severe degree when enemies surrounded Judah and seemed unbeatable. What did he do? He turned to God for answers to unsolvable problems. Listen in as Pastor David teaching from 2 Chronicles 20.
Content Joy
Peace Through Prayer
It has been said that everyone has about 10,000 thoughts a day come through their brain. That's a lot! These thoughts can be about just about anything. The question is "What are we going to do with them?" In Philippians 4, Paul encourages us to take all of our thoughts to God through prayer. Listen in as Pastor David teaches on achieving peace through prayer.
Joy Between Brothers and Sisters
Few things can bring as much joy as when God's people unite to bring glory to His name. It's an amazing sight to see, but the Enemy want nothing more than to prevent that from happening. We have to be careful to be a peace with our brothers and sisters and fight the enemy's attempts to divide us. Listen in as Pastor David teaches from Philippians 4.
Count It Loss
God's Word is clear: He is to be so important us that everything else pales in comparison. It's also clear that when we do this, our joy cannot be shaken. Listen in as Pastor David preaches from Philipians 3 in the message titled "Count is Loss."
The Myth of Self-Confidence
We often think that we have to be strong and put a lot of pressure on ourselves to meet certain expectations. With Christ, though, the expectation is to simply lean on Him. Listen in as Pastor David continues teaching from Philippians in our "Living Joy" series.
A Day Worth Waiting For
The Day of the Lord is coming. This fact should be transformative in the lives of all believers. It should constantly push us to be found spotless before God through repentance and cause us to grow in grace and knowledge of God. Listen in as our Student Pastor, Conner Lewis brings this message from 2 Peter 3.
An Encouraging Life
After Easter and a special guest speaker, we are back in our "Living Joy" series as we study through Philippians. In Chapter 2, Paul implores the Church to stop thinking so much about themselves. It's amazing what Christ can accomplish through His body when we are focused on loving others. Listen in as Pastor David brings this message "An Encouraging Life."
Be A Witness
In Duetoronomy 6, God implores the people of Israel to talk to their family and friends about what He had done. Even though this is an Old Testament passage it is still applicable today. Listen in as one of our Elders, Ted Hinzman, teaches about being a witness to all whom you come in contact with.
Mercy For the Thousands
Our Lord is risen and now He wants to give you His life. On this day, millions of believers around the world are gathering to celebrate this fact: God gives mercy to the thousands. Listen in as Pastor David brings this special Easter message from 1 Corinthians 15.
