In His Presence

Contributed by Troy Campbell on Oct 20, 2011

David cannot seem to get his mind wrapped around all of this injustice. But I want you to notice our text this morning. In verse 17 there is a big shift of focus. How does this shift come to be? David begins to realize that even though it seems as tho

Title: In His Presence Text: Psalm 73:1-17 I find our text very peculiar. David starts out this Psalm by getting his eyes on all the wicked in the world. Let’s pick out the highlights of this text: Verse 2, David starts out this Psalm feeling sorry for himself. “I know God is ...read more

More Than A Spectator Series

Contributed by Mark Haines on May 2, 2011

Fighting The Fear Of Fear Series

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Dec 4, 2006

Much of our lives are spent worrying about the future and what might happen. Many times we worry more about possibilities than probabilities. Jesus encourages us to pay attention to His work in the world around us and gives us tools to fight fear.

For more studies including an audio version of this study go to: www.CalvaryChapelNewberg.org. A recent Time Magazine cover reads "Why We Worry About the Wrong Things." In the article it says: "We pride ourselves on being the only species that understands the concept of risk, yet we have a ...read more

Love Slaves

Contributed by Dale Pilgrim on Sep 16, 2006

Jesus’ time of crucifixion was drawing near and here he sat, with his leadership team for the future who still didn’t get it – talk about a desperate and seemingly fruitless reality. Since none moved, Jesus did it. The towel that Jesus wrapped around him

Most of you will be familiar with the term and concept of servant-leadership. It is not a new concept of course. Corporate North America didn’t come up with it and the bright minds of the world didn’t phrase it as a new discovery. One of the Army’s earliest references to servant-leadership is that ...read more

Going Deep Series

Contributed by David Henderson on Sep 2, 2012

The Psalmist David discovered early in life that walking around in the dark is tough. David had his share of tragedy. His infant son died when the baby was only a few days old. He also caused a lot of trouble for himself. He committed adultery, was re

Family Life, Family Love

Contributed by Mark Opperman on Dec 5, 2012

We are tempted every day to do what is abnormal for a Christian. Instead of loving one another, we are tempted to snap at those around us. Instead of growing, we sometimes want to withdraw. Instead of living to please the Lord, we often get overly busy, d

Peace & Persecution

Contributed by Jonathan Kruschel on Aug 28, 2019

Are you comfortable in being a follower of Christ? Countless Christians around the world face intense persecution for being followers of Jesus, but they're not alone. We share in the struggles of being a Christian. Why is that? Listen to Jesus' call to deny yourself and follow him.

Each year, a Christian organization called “Open Doors” publishes a list of the top 50 countries where Christians are most intensely persecuted for their faith. Physical violence, death threats, execution, imprisonment, rape, neglect, burning of homes, bombing of churches, abandoned by family, ...read more

Core 52 Week 11 - The Good Shepherd Series

Contributed by Lanny Smith on Mar 19, 2020

How we handle threats? People tend toward two very different responses to a threat. Our current cultural focus is on the threat of COVID-19. Some want to completely downplay it and ignore it and others are running around with their hair on fire. What is the Christian response to this current event?

A Crack Pot Or A Cracked Pot

Contributed by Keith Broyles on Oct 7, 2014

God can use our cracks, our flaws to spread the Living Water to those in the world around us. When we live our faith, when we show our faith, the Living Water is pouring from us, despite our condition, to change the world.

Just in case you didn’t know, according to Merriam-Webster’s Online Dictionary, a crackpot is defined as “a person who is crazy or very strange.” I am sure this was not a news flash for just about anyone here this morning. I spent quite a bit of time this past week trying ...read more

3 Moments In Time

Contributed by John Gaston on Oct 27, 2015

The word "moment" is used 3X in the N.T., KJV. 3 Greek words are used and applied to 3 areas: temptation, trials, and the Rapture. It's amazing how God can intervene during each "moment" and how He turns them around for our good!
