Calvary Chapel San Antonio

Religion is what I call a spiritual anesthetic; it puts us to sleep spiritually thinking we are OK but not really knowing for sure…

There are three things that Jesus reminds us of which should encourage us this morning...

It is commendable to sacrifice your freedom; but we can never sacrifice someone else's freedom, that is a choice they have to make…Winning people to Christ was more important to Paul than any personal freedom he might enjoy.  I hope it is for you as well…

I remind you that we cannot pray these things, no matter how good it may feel to our flesh to do so, and if you are going to pray like this, you better be really good at taking the beam out of your own eye.

Be careful about questioning God.  I have a hard time understanding why, when bad things happen to Christians, they get angry with God like we are supposed to be exempt from bad things just because we are Christians! I can't blame it on God!  Bad things happen because we are in this bad world!  But, loved ones, a time is coming when no more evil will ever happen…

The best use of Christian freedom is always using it to edify (build up, strengthen) another believer…

His Word restores life because it is life.  I hope you all know that the will always rescue you—if you believe what it says and do what it says…

There will never again be a need for God's wrath to be demonstrated.  Chronologically, our study has brought us to the point on earth where every person who will ever come to faith in Christ has! ..The earth is now ready for the final judgment which prepares the way for the most glorious event in the history of the world..

This message is so important that it comes directly from the throne! It is better to die at the hands of the beast than it is to worship him. While this message is specific to the martyr's of the great tribulation, this is also an announcement made to everyone here today.

Taking responsibility (being honest) for the condition of your life is essential to get right with God.  Can't blame anyone else, no more excuses.  This is what real humility looks like…

Some Christians grow, others just swell up...God wants us to grow...Knowledge and love both make the Christian grow. Both are necessary for the Christian life but knowledge without love is destructive.

From the moment we are able to think for ourselves, we begin a journey looking for fulfillment and meaning.  Many find fulfillment only in Christ.  Many more, however, reject Jesus Christ and continue a desperate search for the meaning of life!  The problem is that, apart from Christ, life has no lasting purpose, no real meaning…

If you are not saved or even if you are saved but not walking with Jesus, your life is not satisfying.  If your heart is set on the things of this world—you are not satisfied.  Maybe that's why Peter says, ‘Taste and see that the Lord is delicious…'
