Calvary Chapel Cardunal - Sermon Audio

“One of the important functions of the Magnificat is to provide an initial characterization of the God whose purpose shapes the following story.”

He will be great: No one has influenced history more than Jesus Christ. “Is it not proven that he is great? Conquerors are great, and he is the greatest of them. Deliverers are great, and he is the greatest of them. Liberators are great, and he is the...

Those who enjoy the Lord’s promises most assuredly are those who take Him at His Word most readily

All of God’s creation followed God’s sovereign appointment but his prophet, who refused the initial appointment to preach and even resented the success of his second appointment.

Have you ever wanted a second chance in life? Or wished that you could start all over? Perhaps even thought it best if you had never been born? Whether you said or did something, you regretted or failed to do something you should have done, at some...

Brokenness means having no plans, no time, no possessions, no money, no life of my own. It is to be crucified with Christ. It is a constant yielding of ourselves to God. We must seek it, but only God can give it. If we are his, he will. He receives...

When we run form the will of God we not only put ourselves in a bad position but also those around us.

Is it possible for one to fear forgiveness? Though out the Bible we find examples of individuals who appear to do just that. Why would someone fear forgiveness? One might have become comfortable in their unforgiveness of another. One may find the...

The glowing enthusiasm of its early days had disappeared. The Christians could look back to better days when their bridal love for Christ flowed warm, full, and free. They were still sound in doctrine and active in service, but the true motive of all...

A review of this wonderful chapter shows that the Christian is completely victorious. We are free from judgment because Christ died for us and we have His righteousness. We are free from defeat because Christ lives in us by His Spirit and we share His...

Sometimes when we are suffering heartbreak, tragedy, disappointment, frustration, and bereavement, we wonder what good can come out of it. But the following verse gives the answer: whatever God permits to come into our lives is designed to conform us...

Jesus said that those who are forgiven much, love much. Is it possible that we have forgotten that fact? Is it possible that we no longer appreciate all that God has done to save us?

There will come a time in each of our lives that we will either question or doubt the love of God. It is at that time that we must again be reminded of the manner in which He has loved us.

Many have wondered if the God of the Old Testament is the same as the God of the New Testament of the Bible. These individuals struggle with the idea that the God described in the Old Testament loved anyone. But did the individuals in the Old...

One of the theological truths that I have come to embrace is the fact that God is always the one who initiates. He never asks of us anything that He hasn’t done Himself.

What “God is love” means is that love is one of His essential attributes and that all love comes from God, and He does nothing except in love. God is the source of all love, but God’s nature is not limited to love—there are no limits on God’s nature.

Love is difficult to define. How do you avoid confusing it with infatuation or lust? Philosophers and psychologists both have attempted to define love, or at least its difference from infatuation and lust. If you are looking to find love, the...

If their motive in following him had been to obtain a high place in the messianic kingdom, Jesus knew that the spirit of rivalry would disrupt their fellowship before they could accomplish his commission to them. The attitude of love would be the bond...

The big question is, “To whom can I be a neighbor?” and this has nothing to do with geography, citizenship, or race. Wherever people need us, there we can be neighbors and, like Jesus Christ, show mercy.

We must give the Lord our love, or that love will go somewhere else. We are so created that we must love something or other. If the ever-blessed One does not win our love, the world, the flesh, or the devil will gain it.- CH Spurgeon
