Calvary Chapel of Westmoreland's Podcast

As we are moving through the days leading up to Christ's Death and Resurrection? He taught His disciples much regarding how to survive the pressures of a world that is in opposition to Christ's Kingdom. Today we study specifically the work of God The Holy Spirit within the world and the life of the believer.

Today, we begin the six week journey to the most important event in human history: The Resurrection! Jesus is called The True Vine in John Chapter 15. The most difficult Christian life lesson to learn is that apart from Jesus in our life, we cannot do anything that would impact His Kingdom. The key to impact-living is to abide in Jesus; to find your life truly living in Christ. Through His life, w...

In today's world, we meet many people who identify themselves as Christians or followers of Jesus Christ, but in this environment - where many believe that salvation exempts them from suffering - it's important that we know what it means to be a true disciple. In this passage of scripture, Jesus lays out for those listeners, and for us, what it means to be His disciple. We must do what He will do:...

The Apostle Paul is beginning the ending of this letter as he also knows his own life is ending. He has an absolute trust that he has finished his ministry well. He is ready to meet His Lord with no spiritual ministry regrets. How can we be made spiritually ready in our own lives so we're encouraged when it's our time to depart this life? Paul gives us the formula: Be Ready, Know life is short, Fi...

The preaching of The Word of God is the most important work of the church. Christ told us that we are sanctified through His Word, His Word is Truth. In these days of false ideologies and teachings people are turning away from the truth. The Apostle Paul exhorted Timothy the pastor to Preach The Word and fulfill his ministry. Pastors have great responsibility to stay in the Word of God so they onl...

The ministry is a call to faithfulness to the Word of God and the perseverance of the man of God. The Apostle Paul listed the kinds of persecutions he endured as a minister of the Gospel. How the Lord was faithful to deliver him and how we are to expect trials and persecutions as Christ's servants. What is most encouraging is the work of ministry is based upon the Holy Scriptures that are able to...

Today's message is focused upon this issue of Perilous Times that have been happening since the Creation of the human race. Paul warns Timothy regarding the sinful impulses that impact daily living. What fuels the energy of rampant sin in the world is the false teachers who resist the truth of God's Word, men of corrupt minds, disapproved concerning the faith. It's really awesome that God has give...

Today's teaching explains how our lives are to be lived in God's presence. Paul details the difference between a vessel of honor and dishonor. As we ended last week's message, the scripture told us that if we are naming the name of Christ as Lord of our lives, we are to depart from iniquity. Sin influences purity of heart. The heart is what manifests God's holiness or our sin. We honor Christ by t...

We're living in days where truth is relative. Most of the populace decides for themselves what is truth. Moral relativism is the religion of the masses. As teachers we have a message straight from God the Creator of all things including each of our lives. His Word does not return void. It has the power to bring life or judgement. We are to be faithful to study so we're approved by Him to proclaim...

As we gather in churches, there is always the blessing of helping those who are truly in need. Today, we examine the Ministry To Widows . Women who have lost their husbands find themselves in difficult situations. There is the responsibility to perhaps raise kids, get good employment, and/or finding help around the house. Paul is encouraging Timothy to not ignore the struggles of widows and to not...

As pastors and teachers, we must, as Paul teaches, examine our ministry through the eyes of sound doctrine. That we as His Servants are to give attention to reading/study, exhortation and to doctrine. We are to give ourselves entirely to the call and grow in Christ's likeness; that our progress would be evident to all. Please pray for those who lead and teach God's flock that we all may be found f...
