05/30/12 | Pastor Bob Coy    Acts 14:4    C3687

Whose side are you on? Pastor Bob draws our attention to Acts 14, where we find Paul and Barnabas experiencing both honor and persecution as a result of being on God's side. Likewise, when we side with God, our lives will display fruitfulness, division between sides, great grace, denial of promotion, and a trying of our convictions that leads to heavenly rewards.

05/27/12 | Pastor Bob Coy    Joshua 20:2    A1541

God is a good and grace-filled giver of the law. As Pastor Bob continues teaching through the Book of Joshua, we learn that vengeance is man's natural response against wrong doers. But God has another plan for law breakers that includes mercy, grace, refuge, and rest.

05/23/12 | Pastor Bob Coy    Acts 13:1    C3686

We will never be done sowing spiritual seed into the lives of others! As Pastor Bob continues his teaching in the Book of Acts, we’re reminded that God always has somebody in our lives that needs to hear the Word that God has taught us through our walk with Christ.

05/20/12 | Pastor Fidel Gomez    Luke 19:1    G5589

Aren't you glad that God does not judge as we do? In this message, Pastor Fidel touches on Zacchaeus's encounter with Jesus, and how God judges the heart rather than outside appearances. We see how the cross of Christ is truly cross-generational, cross-gender, and cross-cultural.

05/16/12 | Pastor Fidel Gomez    Daniel 6:1    G5588

We all face tough times. It's during those times we can choose to either live right or live wrong. In this mid-week message, Pastor Fidel Gomez takes a look at the life of Daniel as a biblical reference as it pertains to living through tough times.

05/13/12 | Pastor Bob Coy    Proverbs 31:28    T1470

Scripture is the best place to look for an insightful description of mothers and God's design for their unique worth. Pastor Bob explores Proverbs 31 and other Scriptures to expand on the acronym "M.O.M." to show that mothers are matchless, major, miraculous ministers who are observable, obligated, and obediently opinionated, as well as mighty, marvelous, management machines.

05/09/12 | Pastor Bob Coy    Acts 13:30    C3685

Continuing our study in the book of Acts, Pastor Bob shares characteristics of a healthy church from examples found in Acts chapter 13 of what was happening in the early church led by the apostles. This church was growing because of its emphasis on evangelism and church planting. But the early church was also infected and infested with some who were not true believers, but instead were trying to exert cult-like control over others.

05/06/12 | Pastor Bob Coy    Genesis 12:2    T1469

In this second and final part of Pastor Bob's What's Next message, he gives practical application and action points to the Christian discipline of giving. When we're blessed, we're meant to be a blessing. God blesses through us. When we give sacrificially, we're a blessing to God.

05/02/12 | Pastor Fidel Gomez    Daniel 1:5    G5587

What kind of Christian are you? Are you like a lemon meringue pie that looks good on the outside, but lacks real substance? Or are you a true believer that will stand up for righteousness? Through the examples of Daniel, John the Baptist, and Joseph of Arimathea, Pastor Fidel calls us to examine our willingness to take a stand for God, even when it may cost us.

04/29/12 | Pastor Bob Coy    Proverbs 29:18    T1468

Pastor Bob gives a call to action and a call to faith in part one of this two part series launching the "What's Next at Calvary Chapel" initiative. God's grace and leading, coupled with the faithful obedience, Christian discipline, and the generosity of God's people, has brought Calvary to the place it is now and will provide for the opportunities God has for the future. When you tithe to the church, you're funding the making of disciples.

04/25/12 | George Verwer    Matthew 9:35    G5586

George Verwer is the Founder and former International Director of Operation Mobilization, which is a ministry of evangelism, discipleship training and church planting. In this very engaging message, George Verwer shares his story of coming to Christ, the power of prayer, his call to missions, and the founding of Operation Mobilization.

04/22/12 | Pastor Bob Coy    Joshua 14:12    A1540

Continuing the study of the Book of Joshua, Pastor Bob uses the story of how the Promised Land was divided among the tribes of Israel to talk about how Christians should respond now to the reality of our inheritance in Heaven. We should celebrate our inheritance as a gift from God, accelerate the glory of our inheritance, and instigate others to invest in their inheritance.

04/18/12 | Pastor Fidel Gomez    Matthew 14:24    G5585

True Christian faith leads to excitement and adventure, yet many believers are living a lackluster life. Drawing from the Apostle Peter's courage to step out of the boat and meet Jesus standing on the water, Pastor Fidel Gomez gives us simple steps to move from a mundane life to a miraculous adventure as we boldly live for God.

04/15/12 | Pastor Doug Sauder    Ephesians 1:5    G5584

On this Compassion Weekend, Pastor Doug Sauder teaches about God's heart for orphaned and vulnerable children. The Bible says in the book of Ezekiel that God had compassion on us and adopted us while we were outcasts. If you are a child of God, you are adopted. God doesn't have any grandchildren or stepchildren, He only has sons and daughters.

04/11/12 | Wess Stafford    Proverbs 31:8    G5583

Jesus places a high value on "the least" in our society - those who are most vulnerable and cannot speak for themselves. Children are easily "the least of the least," as they are often ignored and victimized by all sorts of evil. Calling our attention to Proverbs 31:8, Compassion International President, Wess Stafford, encourages us to defy the world's lack of concern for children by speaking up for them and caring for them as Jesus does.

04/06/12 | Pastor Bob Coy    Isaiah 53:3    T3142

A wonderful gift, unexpected and undeserved, can make us respond with amazement, "For me?!" That's the only true response we can have for the incredible gift of salvation that Jesus gave to us through His sacrifice on the cross for our sins. Isaiah 53 describes how He was wounded, bruised, chastised, and whipped so that we could have peace and healing in place of our transgressions and sins. For Him, Good Friday was awful, but for us, Good Friday is great.

04/04/12 | Pastor Bob Coy    Acts 12:7    C3684

As we continue through the book of Acts, the focus is on the power and purpose of prayer. Drawing from the events surrounding the Apostle Peter's miraculous escape from prison, Pastor Bob encourages us to pray for rebels to repent, believers who are bound, angelic answers, faithful followers, and God's glory. As we pray, we'll see its purpose fulfilled as God answers and our faith increases.

04/01/12 | Pastor Bob Coy    Joshua 10:40    A1539

We are living in a time when being politically correct is more important than being morally righteous. Continuing his study through the book of Joshua, Pastor Bob extracts relevant truth on living boldly, scripturally, and reliant upon God's power.

03/25/12 | Pastor Bob Coy    Joshua 10:14    A1538

Pastor Bob continues the study through the book of Joshua picking it up in chapter 10. It's here that we learn to examine the stark contrast between the size of our faith versus the size of our God. God isn't constrained by man's boundaries - God is limitless. Belief, behavior, and blessing are often contained by the size of our expectations rather than the size of God.
