    Contributed by Bryan Beverly on Mar 5, 2015
     | 8,113 views

    This message is designed to cause us to reflect upon whether we are asking and allowing God to direct our lives.

    As human beings, we share a common desire; that desire is to be in charge of our lives. Consider the lyrics shared by Lesley Gore: You don't own me, I'm not just one of your many toys; You don't own me, don't say I can't go with other boys And don't tell me what to do. And don't tell me what to ...read more

    Psalm 119 is all about God's Word, but is the Word an instruction manual with every detail of life enumerated for us, or is it more a character sketch of the most beautiful and wonderful being ever?

    Psalm 119 has been called the Mt. Everest of the Psalms. It is the longest psalm and the longest chapter in the Bible. What I love about it is that it is all about God’s Word. And that’s what we are about here at Calvary Chapel: teaching God’s Word. I’ve heard a slur about ...read more

    Most leaders are like middle-managers with superiors and subordinates and Nehemiah shows us how to both lead and follow.

    I heard Adrian Rogers give this example: We all have seen Canada Geese fly in their V formation with one leg of the V formation longer than the other leg. Why do they fly in the V formation? The lead goose is making it easier for the other geese who are following his lead. He is moving the wind ...read more
