Calvary TempleIt's To Your Advantage That I Go Away
In John 16:7, Jesus that it was to the disciples’ advantage that He go away and return to the Father so that the Holy Spirit could come, and that when He comes, he will convict the world of sin and righteousness and judgment. In John 14:12, Jesus said, truly, truly, I say to you, whoever believes in me will also do the works He did, but greater works than these would they do, because I go to the Father. Both of these verses makes it clear that the coming of the Holy Spirit would cover the sin pr...2025-01-2600 min

I will send you to Jesse the Bethlehemite, FOR I HAVE PROVIDED MYSELF A KING AMONG HIS SONS. And in Verse 4 we read, And Samuel did what the Lord commanded and came to Bethlehem. And of course, Samuel reviewed all the sons of Jesse, but the anointed one, God’s chosen one, wasn’t among the expected ones. So, Jesse sent for his youngest son, Davi...2025-01-1900 min
Calvary TempleInside The Promised Land
Deuteronomy 20 is God’s law book on war. He laid out concessions for those who shouldn’t go to battle, including those who were fearful and might spread their fear to other soldiers, and how to handle the cities outside of the Promised Land by offering them peace! But inside the Promised Land, things were very different! God said not to leave alive anything that breathed, so that they couldn’t spread their evil ways of idolatry and sins against God. The blessings were all-inclusive for staying within the bounds of the Promised Land covenant—even to...2025-01-1200 min

In verse 13 he is the mighty warrior, great in battle; Jehovah is his name! What a mighty God we serve.

Calvary TempleA Divine Assignment
Many scriptures identify Jesus as the Son of God. In Luke 1 the angel Gabriel told Mary that this child will be called holy, the Son of God. In Luke 3:21 God spoke at Jesus’ baptism and said, This, is my beloved Son, in whom I’m well pleased. But, in Luke 4:21, when Jesus read from Isaiah 61, the people in Jesus’ home town could only recognize him as the carpenter’s son, not the Son of God. Satan also challenged Jesus’ identity as the Son of God, but Jesus overcame every challenge using the Word of God. We must re...2024-12-2200 min
Calvary TempleThe Messenger of the Covenant
In Malachi chapter 3:1, God introduces us to the Messenger of the New Covenant in whom we delight. This covenant was a greater covenant than that which had been handed-down to the Levites in laws and stories, but which they strayed away from. This new covenant would be about personal relationship with the Messenger of the Covenant and would solve the sin problem once and for all.This passage covers both the first advent of Christ as the Messiah, the Savior of the world, and the second coming—which we believe is very soon to happen, when Jesus wil...2024-12-1500 min
Calvary TempleThe Offering of Contempt, The Covenant of Fear and, How's Your Sacrifice?
God requires holiness and respect for his name from those in the priesthood and those who minister to God and the people. In I Samuel 2 Eli, the priest’s sons began to treat the offerings that the people would bring to sacrifice to the Lord with contempt by literally taking by force, the most and the best parts of the animals for themselves. But God took the lives of the two sons in one day. Again, in Malachi 2, God had a sobering message for the priesthood because of their deep levels of corruption, in that they were of...2024-12-0800 min
Calvary TemplePerfect Things I'm Thankful For
James 1:17 tells us that Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change. Some gifts come with seemingly flawed aspects. Parents are sometimes imperfect, yet they make us feel loved. Pastors, teachers and churches are often flawed, yet we come to know the love of Christ, the word of God and Christian fellowship through them. Daniel and his three friends were the cream of the crop in Judah; well-studied in the laws of God, able servers in t...2024-11-2400 min

Let the church say, Amen, Amen! God has spoken, so let the church say, Amen!

Nehemiah, the governor, declares the day to be a holy day, and that the people should no longer be in mourning, but they should rejoice in the Lord, for the joy of the Lord is their strength. So, Ezra read the Book of the Law, and the Levites interpreted the words he read, so that all the...2024-11-1100 min
Calvary TempleWhen You Can't Tell the Good from the Bad
Sometimes, things are just not as they appear…or sound. This was the case in Ezra 3:10-13. The onlookers and listeners couldn’t tell whether the sounds they heard were rejoicing or mourning. Some of the people were shouting with joy because they were delivered from Babylonian captivity and because the temple at Jerusalem was being rebuilt. But others, the elders, were mourning because they’d seen the glory of the former temple and they knew that the new one wouldn’t compare with the old one. They were mourning what had been lost. Our country may be in th...2024-11-0300 min
Calvary TempleYou Have Heard It From Me
These words are true and trustworthy—that’s what Jesus said of his own words in Revelation 22:6. Just before his ascension to Heaven to be with his Father, Jesus told his disciples to stay in Jerusalem and wait for the promised Holy Spirit to come to them. Again, this wasn’t new news, because, as Jesus said, they’d heard it from him. In the book of John, Jesus reassured the disciples, whom he’d called friends to remember what he'd said, because his words would keep them safe from falling away from their faith.

Calvary TempleThe Gatekeeper
The Psalmist said that he would rather be a gatekeeper in the house of God than to dwell in tents of wickedness. In II Chronicles 23, God appointed and anointed gatekeepers to surround the house of God to protect both the king and the people from wicked evildoers! They were to always be on watch, with weapons in hand, and were to kill anything that was unclean in any way. It was customary for a family to position their sheepfold at the front of their house so that it could be closely guarded by a hired gatekeeper or...2024-10-1300 min
Calvary TempleThree Long Trumpet Blasts
God used the ram’s horn, or shofar, as the trumpet of the day, to announce and commemorate important events. In today’s message, we look at three different long trumpet blasts. 1) In Exodus 19:16 a long trumpet blast was sounded for the importance of God giving the Ten Commandments to Moses on Mount Sinai. 2) In Leviticus 23, a long trumpet blast was sounded to start the Feast of Trumpets, which was for the people to prepare themselves for the Feast of the Day of Atonement, when God would forgive their sins for the year. 3) The...2024-10-0600 min
Calvary TempleSolomon's Prayer of Supplication
Prayers of supplication are prayers that are not typical, not wishy-washy, shot-in-the-dark kinds of prayers, but are so targeted, heart-felt, sobbing kinds of prayers. The kind where we groan in our spirit and plead with God with open hands, desperately needing to receive from Him. This is how Solomon prayed in I Kings 8 when he prayed over the newly built Temple at Jerusalem, asking God to dedicate it to His name and His presence forever, and to forgive the people’s sins who would worship there. This is how Hannah prayed when she was petitioning God for a...2024-09-2900 min

Deception in the church is something that we may not be as prepared for as we would like to think we are. The Apostle Paul warned the church in Rome about this in Romans 16:17-20, advising Christians to avoid such people that would preach a different gospel than what they were taught. Jesus warned in Matthew 7:15 that false prophets and teachers will come in sheep’s clothing, but inside they are ravenous wolves. Jesus assured us that we would recognize them by their fruits—and, to also be assured that good and bad fruit cannot come...2024-09-2200 min

Calvary TempleThe Waters and the Firmament
Join us for this study of Genesis 1:6-10 which recounts both the reasons why, and the benefits to us, when God separated the “waters from below from the waters that are above,” and, when he created the expanse, or firmament, in between them. Six times in creation God commanded his created matter to obey him, and they did so, without resistance! Thankfully, we can praise him because we love him, not because we were commanded to do so!2024-08-2500 min
Calvary TempleBefore The Beginning
Ever wonder about what was “before the beginning?” The Bible says a lot about what was before the beginning as we know it from Genesis 1! God’s creation was carried out by His spoken word—that word was the very cause of all that was created, and Jesus, as John 1:1-3 says, is the Word of God. Colossians 1:15-20 says that Jesus, the Word of God, and the image of the invisible God, created all things that were created, both in heaven and on the earth.

It was also God’s will that, even in death, it did not end the plan and will of God, because through resurrection, God’s will and testament, Jesus, would live on eternally. And Jesus gave us that promise, too. That plan, the will and testament of God, was and is inclusive for all who believe that Jesus is the So...2024-08-1100 min

The Feast of Booths was to occur every seven years, and last for 7 days, after the summer’s harvest and gathering-in of crops. They were to remember God’s prior provision for them and rejoice over God’s current abundance. The Bible specifically says they were to be “altogether joyful.” Later, after the Israelites rejected God and were taken into Babylonian captivity, in Nehemiah 8:13 the Feast of Booths was once again established for them to celebra...2024-08-0400 min
Calvary TempleThings That Delight God
We see such a dichotomy of values in this present time. In I Corinthians 1:26-30 the Bible says that God chose His own definition of what’s wise, powerful, and wealthy, namely, those who ascribe to and receive the preaching of the Gospel of Jesus Christ unto salvation. What God chose as valuable is foolishness to the world, but to those who believe, it is eternal salvation. That flies in the face of modern thinkers, who place such reverence on collecting material things and exuding power over others. But, Jeremiah 9:24 tells us exactly what delights Go...2024-07-2800 min

In Isaiah 5:7 the Bible says that the Lord planted himself a vineyard and he cared for it and tended it carefully and that the house of Israel, and the men of Judah, are his pleasant planting. Again, using the symbol of the vineyard of the Lord, in the gospel of John 5, Jesus tells the disciples “I am the true vine and my father is the vinedresser. Every branch in me that does not bear fruit he takes away, and every branch that bears fruit he prunes; that it may bear more fruit. Those who abide in th...2024-07-2100 min

In Ezra 1:1-11, King Cyrus was mightily used by God to accomplish his will, even though he was not a Jewish believer, but a foreign king.

Not only did Cyrus allow the Jews to repatriate back to Jerusalem, he also facilitated the rebuilding of the temple destroyed by king Nebuchadnezzar. Sometimes, we struggle to understand God’s ways in our lives. But this prophetic story shows us that God uses whom he wills, and even blesses and eq...2024-07-0700 min
Calvary TempleRepent & Be Saved
A fundamental verse in the Christian faith is I John 1:9: If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. The whole of scripture is very clear that confessing our sins or repentance, and faith in God to forgive us our sins results in salvation. There is not a substitute for repentance and faith that can ensure salvation. Some popular statements used today completely ignore the requirement of repentance. How tragic for those who are truly seeking salvation! We must follow...2024-06-3000 min
Calvary TempleFringe Benefits
In Numbers 15:37-41 God provided fringe benefits to the Children of Israel. He instructed Moses to tell the Israelites to sew fringes, or tassels, onto the hems of their garments. This accomplished two things: 1) it identified them to the world as God’s chosen people and 2) the fringe was to be used as a visual reminder for them not to follow their own hearts and will, and not to commit sin against God. In the New Testament, the Pharisees also wore fringes—but they elongated them in order to appear more holy than others. Jesus taught against this p...2024-06-2300 min

In Verse 7-8, Paul warns against becoming impressed by our own worth—for doing so brings deception! But God is neither deceived, nor mocked, for He certainly knows the source from which we sow—whether it be to the flesh...2024-06-0200 min

The value of our life’s journey can be seen in both natural and spiritual ways. The life experiences we have and the character that is developed, are all part of our journey. Sometimes it turns out like we expect, and sometimes it doesn't. In the Luke 19 Parable of the Minas (about three month’s wages) Jesus tells about three different men, and how their life’s journey—their experience to handle situations, their business skill sets, and their character, prepared them for a significant test in their lives.

I John 11 Martha, Mary and the Jews each said, if only Jesus had been here, Lazarus wouldn’t have died. In other words, had Jesus done what they'd asked, when they'd asked, this wouldn’t have happened. Sounds familiar, hmmm? Jesus was not taken by surprise by Lazarus’ death, but they couldn’t comprehend what Jesus said they would see—the glory of God, because they’d only seen Him heal sick people before now.

The representation of Jesus in the Old Testament is very evident, for those who will see it. Scholars predominately agree that all the references to “The Angel of the Lord” is speaking of Jesus in each instance. In addition to The Angel of the Lord being the pre-incarnate Jesus, many also agree that Jesus can be seen in so many other manifestations in the OId Testament, and the words of Jesus himself, in the New Testament certainly support this.

But, just at the time when they were seemingly trapped between the Red Sea and the Pharoah's encroaching army, facing certain death either way they turned, God strategically moved…i.e., repositioned, the all-important angel of the Pillar of Cloud from in front of them, to t...2024-04-2800 min

God answered Jehoshaphat’s prayer through the prophet Jahaziel using the same language Jehoshaphat used saying, Do not fear nor be dismayed by the great horde, for the battle is not yours, but God’s. Sometimes, like the king Jehoshaphat did, we have to be battle ready. But, God said to believe...2024-04-2100 min

Jesus said, unless a grain of wheat falls to the earth and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit. A seed pod, so full of life and potential in itself, must fully surrender itself and die, become useless and dead, because the plant, which bears the fruit, grows from the life inside the seed, splitting apart and causing it to die. But without the seed, the plant has no chance of life.

In Matthew 12:22-32 Jesus upset the religious leadership. He performed a miracle, healing a man who was blind and mute and the man both saw and spoke. But the Pharisees accused him of using Satan’s power to perform this miracle. The one thing God will not tolerate is attributing his divine power to Satan.

From the beginning of creation, God sought a way to commune with man, but sin was always in the way. In Exodus 24 and 25, God formed a plan and created a place for this communion to take place, and He told Moses, you build it this way, and I'll meet you there! But first, the sin issue had to be dealt with by the sprinkling of the blood of the animal sacrifices upon the elements of the tabernacle, the altar and finally, the people, themselves. Only then could they approach the Holy God. God told Moses to cr...2024-01-2100 min
Calvary TempleMount Zion
Mount Zion is prevalent throughout scripture. It was a physical mountain in ancient Jerusalem, but it was also used to describe the Jewish Nation, and it is referred to as the Heavenly Jerusalem and will be the physical location of the Millennial Jerusalem, and it was the very birthplace of the early church! Mount Zion was the dwelling place of God. It was where people physically came to worship God. Hebrews 12:18-24 NLT tells us that Jesus came as the fulfillment of Mount Zion—and that when we worship God from our spirit in truthfulness, Verse 24 says “we h...2024-01-1400 min
Calvary TempleNahum's Hard Message
Less than 90 years after the prophet Jonah had preached to Ninevah that they must repent of their sin of idolatry and return to God, they’d not only fallen back into idolatry but had become so barbaric and cruel to the people of Israel that God had had enough and sent the prophet Nahum to Ninevah, but this time, it was to tell them of their certain, unavoidable destruction. This strong city that was considered virtually indestructible, was completely destroyed at God’s hand. Nahum 1:3 says that The Lord is slow to get angry, but his power is g...2024-01-0700 min
Calvary TempleMy New Year’s Resolution
The Lord gave Isaiah some very strong words about not following along with his culture, which we can certainly relate to today. V11 The Lord has given me a strong warning not to think like everyone else does. He said, Don’t call everything a conspiracy, like they do, and don’t live in dread of what frightens them. Make the Lord of Heaven’s Armies holy in your life. He is the one you should fear. He is the one who should make you tremble. He will keep you safe. This is my New...2023-12-3100 min
Calvary TempleJoy To The World
It can be hard for us to comprehend some portions of the Christmas story. While the joy that comes from the birth of a baby is easy to relate to, it’s harder for us to comprehend that, Jesus WAS—HE EXISTED, in all of His Heavenly, Kingly, status, before he was sent to earth in the flesh as a baby by His Father. We must remember, remember and worship, the one who LEFT the splendors of Heaven; who was separated from the comfort of His Father’s bosom and who lowered himself in status, to come in the...2023-12-2400 min
Calvary TempleThe Prince of Peace
The book of Isaiah prophecies the coming of the Son, who would be called the Prince of Peace. The Apostle Paul wrote to the Christians at Rome that the God of peace shall bruise Satan under our feet shortly. From the first prophecy of the promised Messiah through the final war between Jesus and Satan, when Jesus fully and finally crushes him, God had a plan that Jesus would be the Prince of Peace on earth. In the “in-between” times, right at the point where we live our very lives, Jesus is our personal Prince of P...2023-12-1700 min
Calvary TempleWhat Worship Is And What It Is Not
Genesis 22:1 tells us that Abraham’s faith was tested by God. God required him to sacrifice his beloved son, Isaac, the son of promise to God. Abraham said that this act of service to the Lord was “Worship.” That’s a very, very different interpretation of what some modern-day church goers might call worship. It’s not fancy lights and loud music performed by an entertainment group. Romans says that worship is our spiritual service. Are we holding on to anything at all so tightly that we couldn’t open our hands and let it go as worshi...2023-12-1000 min
Calvary TempleRepentance Precedes Revival
Repentance always precedes revival. It’s God’s way. In the book of I Samuel Chapter 8, God had provided Israel with a righteous judge and prophet, Samuel. But the people rebelled, and demanded a king. Despite God’s warnings that a king would exact taxes from them, put their men into work camps and hijack their women for his own purposes, they still wanted a king. So God gave them Saul as their king. Saul had every outward appearance of a great king—but inwardly, he lacked righteous character. And this lack led him to make risky, selfish...2023-12-0300 min

Calvary TempleThe Thankful Gentiles
The Jewish leaders were so indoctrinated in the laws of Moses that they were blind to the message of Jesus Christ as the Messiah. In Acts 13, Paul built on the familiar, until in Acts 13:23, he told them: And it is one of King David’s descendants, Jesus, who is God’s promised Savior of Israel. There, he’d said it. Addressing yet another group of staunch Jewish leaders in Rome, in Acts 28:28, Paul said, Brethren,… I believe that the HOPE OF ISRAEL, THE MESSIAH, HAS ALREADY COME. But, since the message was widely rejected by the Jews...2023-11-1900 min
Calvary TempleTwo Yokes
Yokes are intended to equalize the weight of a heavy load between a team of animals. It serves them well as long as the animals don’t rebel under the yoke. God told the prophet Jeremiah to fashion a yoke around his own neck as an illustrated sermon to show the people of Israel that they soon would be under the yoke of the King of Babylon because of their sin. He warned them not to listen to their false prophets who would say that all was well and that God would not put them under the fo...2023-11-0500 min
Calvary TempleFaith or Fear?
Faith or Fear? Sometimes, because we are 100% human, it’s both. The Prophet of Israel, Elijah was mightily used by God in I Kings Chapters 18 &19. He did mighty things through God, but his humanness was a big struggle for him. He was called to a confrontational type of ministry—one that required introspection and personal decision. He asked the people, “How long will you waiver between two opinions? If God is God, then serve Him, but if Baal is god, then serve him!" The people didn’t like being put on the spot like that and this friction...2023-10-2900 min
Calvary TempleRemember Your Spiritual Landmarks
It’s important to God that we remember. Like in Joshua, Chapter 4, where He instructed Joshua to have the priests erect memorial stones so that they would always have a marker by which to remember God’s miraculous deliverance of them out of Egypt. In Deuteronomy 19:14 God told the people not to forget the landmarks, the stones that would mark their properties in the new Promised Land, and not to move their neighbor’s landmarks. Physical landmarks are good, but spiritual landmarks of where we’ve met with God in prayer, in church services or alone with Him, whe...2023-10-2200 min
Calvary TempleThe Past Into The Present
Have you ever felt like you’ve lived through something before? Deja vu? We can find the answer to this in Ecclesiastes 3:15! What is happening now has happened before and what will happen in the future has happened before, because God makes the same things happen over and over again. When God brings the past into a believer’s present, He is virtually giving us a do-over to learn from our mistakes the first time around, repent, and do it better the next time. For non believers, He’s giving them an opportunity to accept Jesus as their...2023-10-1500 min
Calvary TempleOrder Out Of Chaos
I Corinthians 14:33 tells us that God is not a God of confusion but of peace, as in all the churches of the saints. From the beginning, on the very first day of creation, through the power of the Holy Spirit, God established order out of chaos. He brought form and filled the voids with all things pertaining to life and godliness. He did the same with the coming of Christ; all things done in the order in which God intended it. Jesus’ birth, life, death and resurrection all in accordance with prophetic scripture. Go...2023-10-0800 min
Calvary TempleThe Drink Offering
It is said that the drink offering described in Numbers 15 represents the works that the worshipper did in order to make the sacrifice. The drink offering was not shared with the priests or the worshippers, but was only for God. Jesus, under the New Covenant, became our sacrifice, and when he was offered once and for all, the Old Testament sacrifices were abolished. But, the drink offerings—the worshipper’s efforts and works for others, are still required by God! Romans 1:1-2 tells us that we, who are the strong in the Lord, must bear up our weak...2023-10-0100 min
Calvary TempleGod's Dual Intent
God had a dual intent and purpose for the children of Israel. On the one hand, He wanted them to learn to trust Him, depend fully upon Him, but He also wanted to bless them. To provide for them. So He took them through the desert, through hardships and trials to teach them. And God will do the same for us. Whatever it takes—whatever it costs, for us to learn to trust Him, for as Psalm 46:1-3 assures us, He is our refuge and our strength, our very present help in time of trouble. Even when th...2023-09-2400 min
Calvary TempleDo It All in the Name of Jesus
One of the most confusing aspects of Jesus’ power is that of healing. Isaiah 53:5 tells us that the reason Jesus bore vicious beatings and the stripes on his back was for our healing. Jesus healed every single person who came to him in faith. He also said that those who believe and follow him will have visible signs that follow them—signs that identify believers with Jesus. One of those signs listed in Mark 16:18 includes that believers who have faith in Jesus will lay their hands on sick people in the Name of Jesus, and the sick pers...2023-09-1700 min
Calvary TempleA Form of Godliness
In the 17th Chapter of Judges is a very disturbing story of how a mother and son blended the teachings of God, which they knew from childhood from the Books of the Law written by Moses, with idolatry to suit themselves. On the one hand, the mother was thankful to God for the good fortune of the return of her stolen money (stolen by her own son!), but on the other hand, she used part of the money to create idols for her son’s house and the son used his own son as a fake priest, overseeing his fa...2023-09-1000 min
Calvary TempleA Prophecy, A Prayer & A Praise
A prophecy, a prayer, and a praise. Many times, God uses the physical realm as a prophetic model of what He plans to do in the spiritual realm. This has recently happened at our church. In Job, God instructed Job to pray for his friends as they made a sacrifice to God because they mis-spoke about God to Job. In doing so, God doubly restored all Job’s losses. Focusing on others is paramount to our own healing. Praise God for the entirety of the Bible, the logos, which is the inspired word of God. But, t...2023-09-0300 min

Have you ever felt the need to present your evidence in God’s courtroom of prayer? King Hezekiah did in II Kings 18-19, when Sennacherib, the wicked king of Assyria and his even more wicked cup bearer, Rabshakeh, came against him to seize the throne in Judah. They brought railing taunts and blasphemies against the Lord God of Israel, so Hezekiah took it to prayer, calling out their crimes and presented all the evidence before God. God heard Hezekiah and confirmed with signs that He would indeed, deliver Judah from the enemy. God sent a de...2023-08-2700 min

Genesis Chapter 6 paints a very bleak picture of how evil man had become in such a short time from creation. The Bible says that every thought was continually evil. Yet, in the midst of all that debauchery, there was a man who was pure in heart and walked with God. Noah was that man and that’s why God chose him to build the ark, to sustain the flood and repopulate the earth. Sometimes we might become overwhelmed with the conditions in which we live today. But. like Noah, if we remain pure in heart an...2023-08-0600 min

Have you ever wondered why, and how you ended up here on earth? In Genesis 1:26 God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness and He created male and female; and then God BLESSED them, charged them to be fruitful, and gave them dominion over every living thing that moved upon the earth. There’s how. Wise King Soloman said in Ecclesiastes 7:29 But this one thing I’ve found, God created man to be virtuous. In John 15:16, Jesus said, I appointed you that you would go and bear fruit, and that your fruit would rema...2023-07-3000 min

And Stephen, full of grace and power, was performing great wonders and signs among the people. Acts 6:8. Stephen was used powerfully by God in the demonstration of miracles and in preaching the Word of God. But, yet, evil men took his life for his good deeds. So, where is the hope in this message? It is in this: that even as these evil-doers were stoning Stephen to death, he looked into Heaven and saw Jesus standing at the right hand of God, waiting to receive his spirit into everlasting life. He kept his eyes locked upon Jesus, and...2023-07-2300 min

Have you ever had an encounter with God? Isaiah saw the Lord, high and lifted up in the Temple and he felt overwhelmed and unholy in the presence of a Holy God. Moses had an encounter with God when God called him from the burning bush and charged him with leading the children of Israel out of Egypt and he felt incapable. Jacob physically wrestled with God for his blessing, and he was left with a permanent physical mark from the encounter. God wants to have encounters with us but we must guard our minds from outside noise...2023-07-1600 min

In II Kings 20 we read of the plight of King Hezekiah. In the space of three verses, King Hezekiah was going to die; so then he prayed, and then God reversed his plan and gave King Hezekiah another 15 years of life, and he healed him using a poultice of figs. Life is truly fragile and our days are numbered by the Lord. Should we be fearful then? Bible tells us that men’s days are like grass; only a fleeting time on this earth. But the lovingkindness of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting. God has gi...2023-07-0900 min

In the book of Exodus 33 God told Moses to set up a tent of meeting outside the camp of the Children of Israel for them to meet together. All the people watched as Moses entered the tent, where the visible cloud of God was present over the entrance. Moses' protégé and successor, Joshua, also went to the tent of meeting with Moses, but verse 11 tells us that when Moses returned to the camp, Joshua stayed in the tent of meeting and wouldn’t leave. Later on, when God’s plan for Joshua was made clear, those extend...2023-07-0200 min

A great book for married couples to read is The Five Love Languages by Gary Chapman. It helps us to understand what our spouse needs from us in order for them to feel loved. For some, it’s to receive small gifts and remembrances. For others, it’s acts of service that make them feel loved. God has put his love language in each of our hearts. With it, the Bible says we are sealed to him until the day of our redemption. We can always know that He loves us, by his Word, his abiding presence and...2023-06-2500 min

Although we don’t have a lot of insight from scripture about the relationship between Father God and Jesus the Son, before Jesus left his Father’s presence in heaven and came to earth as our Savior. But we do know that their exclusive relationship was based on love and trust. Everything Jesus said, did and taught was from the perspective of the Father, and everything Jesus had, including those souls who would believe in Him, were given Him by the Father. Jesus teaches us in the Matthew 6 model of prayer to pray to OUR Father...2023-06-1800 min

It’s what is required of true followers.2023-06-1100 min

Psalm 42 describes the Psalmist’s strong thirst for the Lord. He had once known the safe place and refreshment from being in the presence of God, but now because his enemies were pursuing him and he couldn’t feel God and that caused him to question, where was his God? In Psalm 73, David saw the prosperity of the unrighteous, and he asked the same question…where was God? But, he found the answer when he went into the sanctuary of the Lord! And once again, in Psalm 77, He found that precious refreshing in the sanctuary of God. ...2023-06-0400 min

Sometimes, learning new things can be really confusing, especially when the beloved, familiar old ways are so different. That’s how the Jews felt about the New Covenant, Jesus Christ. And the Gentiles weren’t much better! Instead of turning away from their worship of idols, they tried to worship the messengers of the New Covenant. The Gospel of the New Covenant is not hard. Disciple James put it in easy to understand terms. Stay away from idols and all things related to them. Stay away from blood, and things which have been strangled; remain sexually pure and...2023-05-2800 min

Although tradition would dictate that Manasseh, the elder son, would receive the blessing of Jacob and the greater portion of the inheritance, God had a different plan. Thank God, that we too, as believers in Christ, though we were also undeserving of the blessing of sonship and the inheritance of eternal life, God also had a better plan for us, see Hebrews 11:40.

In II Corinthians 2, the Apostle Paul is discussing the necessity of forgiveness of a brother in Christ who had fallen into sin, so that the man can be restored back to fellowship with the church and thereby, not lose hope of eternal life with Christ and the saints. But, then Paul also points out that the body of Christ must be held to the responsibility of forgiving and restoring the man. So, forgiveness works both ways; to the benefit of the one being forgiven so they won't become despondent and lose hope, and to the...2023-05-0700 min

So, God anointed 70 men with a measure of the same spirit of God which Moses had, to enable them to prophecy and take care of the people’s spiritual needs. This eased the burden for Moses, whom God called a friend, and allowed him to be the one with whom God would meet face-to-face.

As mature Christians, we must recognize that some Kingdom principles are paradoxical. On the one hand, the Psalmist David wrote in Psalm 103:3 that God heals all our diseases. But, in II Corinthians 12:9, when the Apostle Paul prayed three times for healing, the Lord's response was that His grace is sufficient and that His power works best in our weaknesses!

Calvary TempleTwo Things & A Rabbit Dream
This message is very different from the norm and includes a prophetic dream. The three things to take away from this message; 1) The written Word of God is alive and stands on its own meaning and merit, whether or not additional commentary is included! 2) God will often give dreams as warnings, teachings, or some other insight. I believe this one is prophetic in that we must be ready and willing because we may be called upon to deal with evil spirits in church. 3).
