Calvary Chapel Cardunal - Sermon Audio

When we abide in the Christian doctrine, we give proof of the reality of our faith. And the promise of that faith is eternal life. When we accept the Lord Jesus, we receive His own life, namely, eternal life, and this life enables us to test all new...

Just as coming events cast their shadow before them, so prior to the rise of the Antichrist, many antichrists appear.

The world here is not the planet on which we live, or the natural creation about us. Rather, it is the system that man has built up in an effort to make himself happy without Christ.

If an individual professes to be right with God, yet lives in consistent disobedience, denies the reality of sin, is repulsed by believers, and does not believe in the incarnation, all these factors together indicate that one has not embraced the...

Eternal life is fully guaranteed to those who have trusted Jesus for it. However, the consequences of a believer’s failure, his restoration, and future usefulness are all urgent matters that Jesus takes up with God when sin occurs.

John’s First Epistle is like a family photograph album. It describes those who are members of the family of God. Just as children resemble their parents, so God’s children have His likeness too.

I am glad that my knowledge of eternal life is not built on the speculations of philosophers or even theologians but on the unimpeachable testimony of those who heard, saw, gazed at, and handled Him in whom it was incarnate. It is not merely a...

Jesus clearly tells us that each individual has a choice, and that choice will either lead to standing or falling. Notice that it is the foundation of everything. There are only two choices.

The Lord Jesus next warns against people who falsely profess to acknowledge Him as Savior, but have never been converted. Not everyone who calls Jesus, “Lord, Lord,” shall enter the kingdom of heaven. Only those who do the will of God enter the kingdom.

Wherever the stern demands of true discipleship are taught, there are false prophets who advocate the wide gate and easy way. They water down the truth until, as C. H.Spurgeon said, “There is not enough left to make soup for a sick grasshopper.”These...

Jesus says that following Him would require faith, discipline, and endurance. But this difficult life is the only life worth living. If you choose the easy way, you will have plenty of company but miss God’s best for you.

“Therefore” is the most crucial word in the Golden Rule. It relates the Golden Rule to that which precedes it. That is, it postulates it on prayer. It all comes together in one package.

If we think that we can live out the teachings of the Sermon on the Mount by our own strength, we have failed to realize the supernatural character of the life to which the Savior calls us. The wisdom or power for such a life must be given to us from...

How often have we all heard these words to deflect one who would come to correct another or to disregard a correction towards ourselves? Or frankly, whenever sin is brought up in one’s life. This verse is often used.

Worrying about tomorrow does not help either tomorrow or today. If anything, it robs us of our effectiveness today—which means we will be even less effective tomorrow.

What does it mean to lay up treasures in heaven? It means to use all that we have for the glory of God. It means to “hang loose” when it comes to the material things of life. It also means measuring life by the true riches of the kingdom and not by...

There’s real power in fasting. If you need direction, if you hunger for liberation, skip lunch, and seek the Lord.

The prayer begins by invoking God: “Our Father in heaven.” The term for “Father” is “Abba,” a name used by children for their earthly fathers that denotes warmth and intimacy in the security of a loving father’s care.

Next Jesus warns His disciples against hypocrisy when they pray. They should not purposely position themselves in public areas so that others will see them praying and be impressed by their piety. If the love for prominence is the only motive in...

the Lord said that in giving one should not even let his left hand know what his right hand is doing, that is, it should be so secret that the giver readily forgets what he gave. In this way he demonstrates true righteousness before God and not before...
