Objective And Subjective Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 27, 2021

We learn a valuable lesson from this reality of the conflict between subjective and objective truth. The lesson is this: The objective truth always has priority over the subjective.

Trusting God with our money reveals our true priorities; faithful stewardship transforms wealth into eternal impact and frees us from serving money as a master.

Friends, welcome. Pull up a chair. In a world where prices climb and schedules squeeze, our hearts can feel thin. We carry questions into church tucked beneath our smiles. Will the paycheck stretch? Will the college fund be enough? Will retirement come with peace or pressure? Money talks, doesn’t ...read more

Our Change Of Masters

Contributed by Grant Adams on Apr 15, 2023

Man was made to rule. When God created man, he gave him priority over all things. Yet it is equally true that man was made to serve.

In the beginning, man was placed in the garden to keep it and to address it. He was to serve his maker. We find within man a war, two great forces seeking the mastery of his life. Galatians 5:17. Evil and good, sin and righteousness. If evil seeks to rule man, so also the good spirit. That spirit ...read more

Safe At Home Series

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jul 18, 2004

Interactive message. What do we do about the family? Respect our children; parent with sacrificial love; and give children priority of emphasis in the church’s outreach.

There are times when all of us need to participate, times when no single person can speak all the truths or do all the work.

For more Bible studies visit: www.CalvaryChapelNewberg.org Surrounded by plenty in this country we lose sight of the really important things.

The Win Of Worship Series

Contributed by Rick Duncan on Sep 13, 2005

Worship satisfies. It gives us right priorities. More joy, peace, hope. When your blessings go up to God, His blessings come down to you.

We are wired for worship! Several years ago a businessman here in Brecksville said to me, “I don’t like that word ‘worship.’ Sounds soft. It’s not for me.” Well, last week, we learned that worship is why we were created. It’s what gives us fulfillment. It satisfies. It gives us right ...read more
