Calvary Chapel River Oaks

We will see that Jesus fulfilled the will of the Father, and through His death, He defeated the power of death and became our High Priest.

We will look at how he world was subjected to man not the angels, but man lost that subjectivity because of sin but God had a plan of redeeming us back what we lost.

We are given an exhortation or warning not to stray from the gospel of Jesus Christ.

We will see Jesus is above all created things.

We will see what a faith walk is and looks like

Chrisrmas Eve service 2024

We are diving into a new study in the book of Hebrews. Now we don’t actually know the author of this book, many believe it was Paul, but the writing style is a little different than his other writings. Some think it could Barnabas and there are other possible authors, but this book focusses on the deity of Jesus, and how He is above every created being. He is our High Priest and is sitting at the...

In this study we will look at three points. 1: Yes or no, nothing else needed 2: The power and need of prayer 3: Supporting one another in truth and love

We will see how God does not overlook the sin of the rich oppressors in the world and justice will come in His timing. We will also look at how we as believers are to persevere, and walk in faith.

In this study we will look at the fact that as believers, it is not my will but His will that we should be seeking to follow.

We will be looking at our actions or works. Are they done through wisdom that comes with humility and meekness, or are they from our fleshly nature which is full of bitterness and pride?

We are going to look at one of the smallest parts of our being, but in some ways the most dangerous. The untamed tongue.

We will be looking at faith and works which flow out from a merciful heart. So I begin this message with a question. Is it faith vs. works or faith with works? I believe we can answer this question as we go through this study.

We will look at how we are to look at and receive those in the body of Christ. We will also look at mercy and being merciful.

We will look at being active believers, doing not hearing only. And finally we will see how relationship drives works, not the other way around.

Everything in this story shows God’s plan of redemption for Ruth and Naomi, was part of His redemption for us.

We will see how our position in this world is looked upon by God. We will also look at temptation and how we are to deal with it.

We will see that we will face trials and tribulations, but James tells us how we are to respond in the midst of them. This once again will be a study that brings us to self-examination which I believe is so important in our daily walk.

Ruth 3 teaches us about His timing and not ours.

We are going to see what the armor actually is and how each piece is essential.

We will be looking at the life of Abraham and the his "Journey Of Faith".

Ruth gave up her entire identity to follow Ruth. She left her heritage, her people and their customs. She at this moment converted to Judaism. This is a picture of what becoming a Christian is all about. Turning from the old man to the new. It’s what the apostle Paul wrote about in Philippians 3: 5-8

After Paul lays out these foundational truths of loving and submitting to God and then to one another, he goes deeper by showing us where the true war is being fought.

In todays study, we will pick back up at Ephesians 5:17 bringing context to our study. We will be looking at what submitting to one another in Christ means and how it applies in relationships with one another.

These were real people, living real lives who had to go through these things to get to where God wanted him to be and because of their faithfulness God richly rewarded them.
