Calvary Chapel Johnson County

This week we'll look at a church that on the outside had quite the reputation but the Lord said they were dead. How did things get like this for this church and how do we protect ourselves from getting to that point? There were some that hadn't defiled themselves we are told and they would walk with Him in white.

This week we'll take a look at three different narratives and learn several lessons as we do. Jesus will display complete and total authority over sickness, we'll see the faith of a centurion soldier, we'll see the Lord have compassion on a widow whose only son had died and then we'll see John the Baptist send some of his disciples with some questions for the Lord.

This week we'll look at the compromised church of Thyatira. The smallest city of the 7 churches of chapters 2 and 3 and yet the Lord had the most to say to them. This was a church that had allowed a false prophetess into their midst who was teaching the people that it was just fine to eat food sacrificed to idols and to indulge in sexual immorality. Great judgment would come upon her and those who...

This week we'll finish the Sermon on the plain. Jesus will continue to give the disciples who were listening simple truths about who they would be as they became like their Teacher. The Lord will declare that we are not to judge, that we are to forgive, we are to give abundantly and in order to help others we need to remove the plank from our own eyes.

Tonight we'll look at the church in Pergamos. Similar to the church of Smyrna in that persecution was a part of everyday life and yet some compromised and caved to the system of the world around them. The Lord wants us to be holy and set apart for Him and we are reminded that we can overcome and clearly that's through our Lord Jesus Christ.

We see Jesus once again withdrawal to a quiet place to pray. He'll call 12 apostles and then will begin to teach. We'll look at the beatitudes, and then talk about learning to love our enemies and praying for those that misuse us and even persecute us.

This week we'll look at the church of Smyrna. Smyrna was a city with a history that very much helps bring what this persecuted church went through into focus. We'll look at the incredible way that Jesus comforts this church, prepares this church and blesses this church.

Join us on a verse by verse study in the book of Ephesians with Dean Schmanke

This week we'll see Jesus call a tax collector to follow Him. Jesus will eat with sinners which will cause the Pharisees and scribes to grumble. He'll then go on to challenge the Sabbath day traditions that had taken what was meant to be a joyous day of the week and made it into a day of difficulty.

This week we'll begin to look at the first of seven churches that are found in Revelation 2 and 3. Ephesus was full of good works, they were doctrinally sound and yet the Lord had one thing against them. They had left their first love. We'll be talking about what it means to leave your first love and how to get back to your first love among other things this week.

This week we'll see the Lord Jesus teaching from a boat, calling Peter to be a fisher of men and we'll see Peter respond to that call. We'll see Jesus heal a leper by physically touching him and we'll see a paralytic forgiven and then healed physically. Jesus wants to work in our hearts as well.

This week we'll see John on the island of Patmos being in the Spirit receive some amazing things that he was instructed to write down. We'll see Jesus described not as a lamb but as a conquering judge in the description we are given. We'll also see an outline for the book of Revelation in chapter 1:19.

Today we'll see Jesus beginning to teach, He'll share from Isaiah 61:1-2 and then declare "Today this scripture is fulfilled in your hearing" Everyone knew this was a Messianic passage of scripture so when Jesus said this they all knew what He was declaring. We'll then see Jesus provide ample evidence that the words He said were true. He'll deliver a demon possessed man, heal Peter's mother in law...

Tonight we'll hop into the text of Revelation 1 as we take a look at the first 8 verses. We'll find out who the letter was written to, how it was given and who it was from...And then we'll take a look at our awesome Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and we'll be reminded that one day He is physically coming back to earth! Maranatha!

This week we'll see John partaking in an incredible opportunity as he baptizes the Lord Jesus. We'll take a brief look at the genealogy of Jesus and then we'll be looking at the temptations Jesus went through as the Spirit led Him in the wilderness.

Tonight we'll begin our study through the book of Revelation. We'll be looking at an introduction and discuss the viewpoint we'll be using as we travel through verse by verse. We'll discuss some of the major events we'll need to study along the way, talk about our current culture in relation to Genesis 9 and then we'll finish by taking a look at the first phrase of the first verse. You can downloa...

This week we'll take a look at John the Baptist and his ministry. John was willing to give the hard message and the people responded, have we become to worried today about what others think? Have we begun to give a soft message? So often the theology of repentance and judgment have gone to the wayside in the church and yet our world needs to hear it. Ultimately the world needs to hear of the love...
