Calvary Chapel San Antonio

One of the things I love the most about God (in these last days) is that he uses anybody who is willing to be used! Men, women, old, young, rich, poor, attractive or not, influential or not—all can be used by God because God gives His Spirit without partiality...

What it means to be justified through faith in Jesus Christ.

The Apostle Paul's experiences in Athens, during his second missionary journey, and his speech to the philosophers in the Areopagus.

Thanksgiving Eve Message

Because of Peter's 3 denials of Jesus, some wonder why God would choose him to take the lead of the early group. This explains why: every time Peter opens his mouth, Bible comes out! He knew (and loved) God's Word! If you want to be used by God, you have to know your Bible...

"For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain."

One thing I hope everyone here tonight leaves with is this: no matter how badly you've treated God, no matter how many willful sins you've committed, God's heart is breaking over the direction your life has taken and He wants to deliver you from your pain! All you have to do is come to Him with a sincere heart, agree to agree with God (obedience), and He will deliver you…The northern tribes had been worshipping golden calves now for more than 117 years. You would think that God's patience was running out. It was… But God doesn't act like we do when His patience is being tested.Instead of spanking His stubborn children, He first demonstrates kindness and gentleness toward them.

6. So when they met together, they asked him, "Lord, are you at this time going to restore thekingdom to Israel?" ----This is a good and logical question. It also shows the disciples are just like us—impatient! But there was no way they could understand what God was about to do through them—

The Apostle Paul teaches us how to accept hard things and, even more, how to identify God's true blessings in the middle of terrible trials and unfair, harsh circumstances.

Joash was the king called by God and made by man—one man, Jehoiada. I told you last time that his life is important enough to devote an entire study to so that's what we're going to do tonight. A study in leadership. Men, this is especially significant for you, however the principles apply wonderfully to women as well.

This is an indispensable book. In it, we are told how a few people changed the history of the world within one generation! Without Acts none of the books that follow would make much sense.

This Bible study covers a prayer from the Apostle Paul for the Christians in Philippi. In the prayer Paul asks that these Philippian Christians will have love that abounds, that they will discern what is best, and that they will be filled with the fruit of righteousness. This is a prayer for God's Glory in them.

Our chapter tonight covers 40 years of Joash's reign as king. I will tell you up front tonight that Joash is a king whose faith is shallow. He only does what is right in the eyes of God as long as Jehoiada is around.

Jesus is giving His disciples orders. Orders! They are not to be argued about, debated over, or compromised with. Orders are to be followed. Why do we not follow our orders? We think we have a choice!

A substantial proportion of the passage is given to thanking the Philippian church for their loyal support of Paul. Paul also encourages them with a reminder that, good or bad, anything a Christian experiences can be used for the glory of God.

To re-dedicate oneself to God requires destroying of everything that competes with God…
