Calvary Chapel Westside With Pastor David Tomasso

A lot of today's preaching is so weak that if it was poison it wouldn't kill you and if it was medicine it wouldn't heal you. In today's text in the book of Luke, John preaches a dynamic and resounding message on repentance.

There are 3 main themes we see through today's message from Pastor Dave: 1. The wilderness teaches us to hear the voice of the Lord. 2. Prison places are areas that God speaks in mighty ways 3. When you cry out to God, He will show you great things and he WILL guide you.

Life can be very busy, we can suffer incredible trials and we can also get so active in "doing church" that we lose sight of Him and take His presence for granted. In today's message Pastor Dave challenges us to examine our walks with Christ and see if we have lost track of Jesus in our daily lives.

In today's study Pastor Dave will touch on parenting and how parents are to prepare their children in the ways of the Lord, much like the Spirit prepared John in the wilderness for his future ministry. We also receive a challenge in today's text to walk in the Spirit in our daily lives and to show our kids how to have contact with the world, without being contaminated by it.

In order to be ready for what God wants to do in and through your life you must be in a ready state...a state that is filled with the Spirit!

The world is full of dogma and traditions about Mary that are not true and through today's text Pastor Dave will bring clarity to who Mary was and show us that with God, NOTHING is impossible.

In today's study, Pastor Dave rings in the New Year with a dynamic message about how to ensure you are not the enemies trophy in this upcoming year.

In today's study Pastor Dave dives into 1 Sam. 30:25-31 and shows in great detail the kindness and mercy of our eternal King!

The hand of the Lord works in very practical ways at times. We see that through today's text as David recovers ALL, just as God had promised him He would.

Every believer will struggle with wanting to do things their way over the Lord's or to just give up trying to do things the Lord's way all together. King David is also struggling with this and thinks he feels good about it at first but it is a false rest. We see thought today's study an advanced class on how to have endurance amidst a trial.

As we pick back up in the life of King Saul we see that the Lord being silent is now a reality of the soul for King Saul. He faces enemies on all sides and the Lord is not with him now; God is turning him over to himself.

We will see through this study that when making a decisions we need to remember these simple truth's: God is never in a hurryWe need to wait on HimThink it through & pray it though with the LordWhen making a potentially bad decision, the worst thing you can do is do it speedily. Self talk can be dangerous if not monitored closely. When going through tribulation, avoid the temptation to change loca...

In today's text we see David learning from his previous experience in chapter 25 and knowing that he needs to let God deal with his enemies. We then see the contrast of this Godly wisdom in King Saul, realizing finally that he has played a fool, and wasted 20 years of his life in the flesh.

It's not always the big giants in your life that can do the most damage, often it is the little foxes that pick away at your life and spoil the fruit the Lord wants to produce in and through your life.

In today's text we see that even when David could have rebelled against God and killed Saul, He cared more about displeasing the Lord than having life be "fair" for him. God calls us to forgive, to show grace and to always seek reconciliation with people who have wronged us...but...the Lord also shows us to have boundaries and that it's ok to have space with people who have wronged us.

We can revert to a mindset of faith plus works very quickly when we get our eyes off the cross and that our salvation has nothing to do with our abilities. We can learn from the thief on the cross in today's text and take assurance that all Jesus wants from you, is you, and to just call Him Lord.
