    Jesus did many miracles but only 2 are told about in all four Gospels. One is the miracle of Jesus' resurrection... and the other is the miracle of the feeding of the 5000. The question is "Why are these 2 the only miracles listed that in all 4?"

    Why is it that they won't be convinced by someone rising from the dead? It is the heart and faith, and the Holy Spirit, on hearing the Word, and not great miracles that brings people to Christ.

    “If they do not hear Moses and the Prophets, neither will they be convinced if someone should rise from the dead.” Let the Words of my Mouth… This morning, I want to review what we read in our Gospel lesson, the Parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus. Remember when examining any ...read more

To remedy this, he sent his son to Israel to experience his heritage. A year later the young man returned home. "Father, thank you ...read more

    The Mirror Series

    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

     | 337 views

    Prophesy to a nation that does not hear, see or obey. That was Jeremiah’s task. The nation had become the generation of His wrath, as ours are today. Judgement is coming. There would be sorrow and death coming, so God said to shave off the hair. God is not mocked – His promise will come.
