Conviction Versus Preference Series

Contributed by Herson Gonzalez on Mar 20, 2006

There is a difference between a conviction and a preference. A preference is a very strong belief, held with great strength, but a belief that you will change under the right circumstances. A conviction is a belief that you will not change.

SEVEN AREAS WE NEED TO CHANGE IN ORDER TO CHANGE OUR LIVES CALVARY WORSHIP CENTER MARCH 19, 2006 Pastor Herson Gonzalez Without a plan for change, all we will do is talk about changing all our lives, but we will stay the same.

What God Loves

Contributed by Rusty Tardo on Jun 10, 2006

When you are very close to someone, you know what they love. Are we close enough to our Lord to know what the Bible specifically says He loves?

What God Loves: 1. Those who walk in righteousness - Prov.15:9 The way of the wicked is an abomination unto the LORD: but he loveth him that followeth after righteousness. Ps.11:7 For the righteous LORD loveth righteousness; his countenance doth behold the upright 2. Righteousness and Justice ...read more

When A Preacher Dies. What Is A Minister?

Contributed by Anthony Smith on Dec 7, 2005

Ministers of the Gospel are sometimes forgotten, by the very fact that they are ministers. Passed over for recognition for their indifference to the cares of this world, marked as strange for their un-tiring dedication to the truth of the Word of God.

When a Preacher Dies. What is a Minister? Dedicated to Pastor Chinna Dora who received the call from God and has gone to Paradise on 01.12.2005 03:00A.M. Matthew 16:26 For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his ...read more

It Is Written

Contributed by Christian Cheong on Aug 7, 2008

When assaulted by Satan, Jesus refuted him with the Word of God. He knows, believes and applies the Word. "It is written" is very important. Can we say that today?

There is a war going on in the wilderness. • Satan is out to tempt Jesus and stop him from doing God’s will. • Jesus defends himself with the only weapon He has – God’s Word. • Three times He responded, “It is written.” Satan is out to deceive, to lure man into doing things contrary to God’s ...read more

Man Is Basically Good Series

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Jan 18, 2009

Thought that might get your attention. The debate about the goodness of man rages, as does the arguments for the existence of God. Paul takes on both in this very hard hitting section.

How can you know you are dying unless someone tells you ‘you have a terminal disease’? How do you know you need to be set free unless someone tells you ‘you are a captive’? How can you tell something is wrong unless someone tells you what is right? That’s the essence of the rest of Romans 1. Before ...read more

The Search For The Christ Child

Contributed by John Harper on Jan 2, 2009

Jesus was born in Bethlehem and yet very few knew about His birth. How is it that the King of all eternity comes in the form of human flesh and it is not on the front page of the paper?

The Courtroom Of Conscience Series

Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Apr 12, 2004

Those who do not have the Law will perish apart from the Law, and those who do have the Law will be judged by the Law. The problem is that neither proposition is very exciting.

"The Power Of Endurance”

Contributed by Martin & Elder Nedra Wilson on Apr 12, 2004

I’m always amazed at the lack of endurance that is seen in the area of faith when it comes to the saints of God. Not trying to be funny at all, but overall the body of Christ is very lazy.

“The Power of Endurance” Philippians 3:13 Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but [this] one thing [I do], forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, 14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ ...read more

"Should We Really Be Afraid Of Death?”

Contributed by Paul Weidner on May 26, 2004

If we take the time to realistically examine our culture, especially our western culture, we will readily see that death is not something we think about very much.

For Christians, the season of Lent is the time of our church year like no other because our focus is drawn on a very unpopular topic, death. We are taken on a journey covering the last weeks of Jesus’ ministry, which ends with his horrible torture and death by crucifixion. But because we ...read more

The Series Is Not Over

Contributed by Marcos Suazo on Dec 21, 2004

Truth be told, the Bible says that the race is not given to the swift, or the battle to the strong, but to the one who endures. So it is necessary to shake of that defeated attitude and fight this fight to the very end.

The series is not over. Jude 1: 17 – 23 17 But you, my dear friends, must remember what the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ told you, 18 that in the last times there would be scoffers whose purpose in life is to enjoy themselves in every evil way imaginable. 19 Now they are here, and they are the ...read more

Bridges Swamped, Swamps Bridged

Contributed by Joseph Smith on May 10, 2003

In times like these the very things we have created to solve human problems are easily swamped; but God wants His people to flourish and will build bridges over the difficulties.

In June of 1972 I was standing in the middle of Colesville Road, not far from my home. I was standing safely in the middle of the road because no traffic was coming through. Why not? Hurricane Agnes had done. Remember Agnes? We’ve had a lot of storms around here, but not many that did as much ...read more

Blessings And Brain-Aches

Kids can be immense joys but also our greatest pains. Sometimes at the very same moment! There are really no magic formulas for dealing with kids but there is inspiration and help from God.

Attempts To Bury The Truth

Contributed by Mark Aarssen on Jan 21, 2010

The history of our world has demonstrated that earthly kings tend to be very vulnerable people who sit upon uneasy thrones that are subject to topple in the most unexpected ways.

Attempts to Bury the Truth Matthew 2:6- 18 NIV This past week in Canada we have seen our National Government decide to prorogue parliament. That's like the U.S. Senate closing shop for a 3 month unscheduled break. Many people are upset about this decision and see it as a blatant disregard to ...read more
