Calvary Chapel Cardunal - Sermon Audio

In a very real sense, the church today is like the Philadelphian church, for God has set before us many open doors of opportunity. If He opens the doors, we must work; if He shuts the doors, we must wait. Above all, we must be faithful to Him and see...

All of the church’s man-made programs can never bring life, any more than a circus can resurrect a corpse. The church was born when the Spirit of God descended on the Day of Pentecost, and its life comes from the Spirit. When the Spirit is grieved...

The longest message was sent to the church in the smallest city! Thyatira was a military town as well as a commercial center with many trade guilds. Wherever guilds were found, idolatry and immorality—the two great enemies of the early church—were...

Compromise is the point at which you sell your conviction. Compromise is the point at which you sell out your ideal or the point which you stop obeying God. Compromise is the abandonment of principle to gain some end.

It costs to be a dedicated Christian, in some places, more than others. As end-time pressures increase, persecution will also increase; and God’s people need to be ready. The world may call us “poor Christians,” but in God’s sight, we are rich!

The church of Ephesus was the “careless church,” made up of careless believers who neglected their love for Christ. Are we guilty of the same neglect?

John’s prophecy is primarily the revelation of Jesus Christ, not the revelation of future events. You must not divorce the Person from the prophecy, for without the Person there could be no fulfillment of the prophecy.

He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, 17 and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

Every child born into the world is a totally new creature. But Jesus Christ, being eternal God (John 1:1, 14), existed before Mary and Joseph or any of His earthly ancestors. For He is "God With Us"

Out of the greatest sin ever committed by humankind, God brought the greatest blessing that ever came to humankind.

Sometimes the Lord will let us hit rock bottom, and we will have no human solutions. You can’t get the solution from any person. You say I am in a difficult situation. I have tried everything. The only thing I can do now is trust God. That is good...

As Joseph reveals himself to his brother for the first time in twenty-two years, here in Genesis 45, we will discover five ways to know that the Lord is with us.

Man is born with his back toward God. When he truly repents, he turns right around and faces God. Repentance is a change of mind…. Repentance is the tear in the eye of faith. Dwight L. Moody

Joseph’s life offers us a magnificent portrayal of the grace of God as He came to our rescue in the Person of His Son, Jesus. So many come to Him, like Joseph’s guilty brothers, feeling the distance and fearing the worst from God, only to have Him...

Because life often doesn’t work out right—which being interpreted, means, it doesn’t work out our way—we have developed basic and very natural tendencies to begin to doubt God.

True reconciliation requires sincere repentance and humble confession of sin, and often it takes time for a person to get to that place. I believe that Joseph dealt with his brothers in a patient, loving, and wise way, and that’s why his approach...

Somehow in the loneliness of his recent years, abandoned and forgotten in prison, he had learned to let the Lord have His way, in His time, for His purposes!

God’s ways are past finding out, but God’s time to act is never too early or too late.

The one thing above all others that God wants us to learn is to trust Him. When trials and severe suffering strike us, we should turn to God and trust Him. This is the very thing He wants.

Imagine what must have been going through Joseph’s mind at this point, shortly after he was incarcerated. He was not only innocent, but he had also resisted blatant temptation over and over again. All the man knew at this painful moment was that he...
