Calvary Chapel Lompoc

"What God is pouring into you is far greater than what you are pouring out." Paul was poured out like a drink offering, and Demas departed from the faith. When we keep our eyes on Jesus, He will keep us from departing from the faith and will continue to pour into us so we can be poured out like Paul.

The Life of David is a monthly bible study on Sunday Evenings. This Sunday we saw a continued contrast between David and Saul. David clung to the Lord through the good and the bad, which made all the difference.

In each of these characters God imparts faith and courage follows.

Paul serves as a great example of one who was faithful to fulfill his ministry. To his last breathe, he preached the Word and did the work of an evangelist. We are reminded that preaching the gospel is not our recommendation, but our responsibility.

In the life of Moses we see two important decisions. The decision of Moses parents to by faith keep their child, and the decision of Moses to by faith leave Egypt and seek the Living God.

The importance of the reading and knowing the Word of God.

Deception is a leading characteristic of the perilous times of the end days. The cure to avoid deception is to know the Word of God.

God will take you as far as you want to go. Abraham allowed God to take him to great depths of faith to the point where he died in faith. Where is God leading you today?

Abraham was called by faith. God called, and Abraham obeyed. How is God calling you?

Perilous times we predicted in the Bible, and are inevitable. But there is hope, and there will be restoration!

Our study continues in the Hall of Faith. The faith of both Enoch and Noah was active & fearless, because they walked with God. What is your faith like?

Pastor Paul Charles shares a message on service and calling. The Bible tells us that every Christian is given a calling, and every Christian has been given a gift as a part of the body of Christ.

The central theme of Hebrews 11 is faith! As we read of the faith of these characters (some unusual) we are encouraged in our faith.

As Christian's we are apart of the house of God, and in the house we are referred to as vessels. However, there are vessels of honor and dishonor. Which are you? The choice is yours.

David was led by the Spirit of God, Saul was led by his own selfishness. Which are you?

In this study, we see what the God of universe has to say about us! The beginning of Ephesian's chapter two is "you", but in verse 4 there is divine intervention by God himself. The focus changes to God, and separates "who we were" to "who we are."

The book of Hebrews continues to expound upon the greatness of the New Covenant! Due to the greatness of the sacrifice of Jesus Christ; we have boldness to enter into His presence.

Paul the Apostle writes to Timothy and emphasizes the importance of remembering Jesus daily. Remembering Jesus may seem like a simple idea, however Paul mentions this during a time when Timothy was pastoring the church of Ephesus and was dealing with false teaching and persecution. We must remember Jesus during the good and the bad; the easy and the hard.

The sacrifice of Jesus made for a perfect atonement. Rather than a covering of our sin, there was an eradication of sin. It was the perfection of the sacrifice of Jesus Christ that wipes away our guilt and shame. There was a limit to the old covenant, however the new covenant is limitless!

As Christian's we are in need of divine strength. It is by the grace of God that He imports and imparts strength to the believer. We see that we are in need of this strength as Paul likens the Christian faith to a warrior, athlete, and farmer.

As we continue in the book of Hebrews, the earthly and heavenly sanctuary are contrasted. The earthly sanctuary was a model of the heavenly sanctuary, but the heavenly sanctuary is so much greater! Not only is the heavenly sanctuary better, but the atonement is far greater, it is complete!

In this message, Paul the apostle exhorts Timothy to pass on what he has been given. God's truth is not subjective to culture or time, but is enduring and eternal. We must hold on to God's truth, this truth is woven into a pattern. The pattern of God's truth helps the believer discern what is, and isn't sound truth.

The Life of David is a monthly bible study on Sunday Evenings. There is much that we can learn from this one character in the bible, and the highs and lows that he goes through. Join in the first study of this series as the lives of David and Saul are contrasted.

When we come to God, we approach Him based upon the finished work of Jesus on the cross. This is due to the glorious New Covenant, a covenant that is based upon the finished work of Jesus on the cross.
