Calvary Palos Verdes Teachings

Bless The Lord Oh My Soul Pastor: Daniel Hendrickson

Paul appeared in court before Governor Felix, but he would not make a decision about Paul, or about Jesus. We will all appear before God as our judge in the resurrection of the just and the unjust. And the question will be - what did you decide about Jesus? Scripture References: Acts 24:1-27 Pastor: Daniel Hendrickson

Jesus promised to Paul that he must testify in Rome. We see how God providentially protected Paul for the fulfillment of that promise. Scripture References: Acts 23:11, Acts 23:12-25, Ephesians 3:1, Philippians 1:12-14, Colossians 4:2-4, Romans 8:28, Philippians 1:6 Pastor: Daniel Hendrickson

Paul knew that trouble awaited him in Jerusalem. With so much trouble going on around us, it's easy to get discouraged. The Lord stands by us when we get discouraged by the troubles in this world. Scripture References: Acts 22:22-23:11, John 18:19-24, 1 Peter 2:18-23 Pastor: Daniel Hendrickson

Paul had the opportunity to share his testimony with a crowd of zealous Jews who had just tried to kill him. Paul could relate to them, having once been a zealous persecutor of the church himself. Scripture References: Acts 21:37-40, Acts 22:1-21 Pastor: Daniel Hendrickson

Paul arrives in Jerusalem and meets with James and the elders of the church. They come up with a plan to appease the zealous Jews in Jerusalem, but things don't go according to plan. Scripture References: Acts 21:17-40, 1 Corinthians 9:19-23 Pastor: Daniel Hendrickson

The Holy Spirit gave multiple prophetic warnings that trouble awaited Paul in Jerusalem. Everyone was telling Paul not to go to Jerusalem, but Paul knew in the Spirit that he had to go there. Scripture References: Acts 21:1-16, Acts 13:4, Acts 20:22-23 Pastor: Daniel Hendrickson

In Paul's farewell to the Ephesian elders, we see the hallmarks of a faithful ministry of following the Spirit, humbly serving the Lord and the church, proclaiming the gospel of grace, and protecting the church from false teaching. Scripture References: Acts 20:17-38, 2 Timothy 4:7, Matthew 4:19, 1 Corinthians 11:1, Revelation 2:1-6 Pastor: Rob Orr

The church today is not all that different from the church in the days of Acts. Jesus is still working in his church. Scripture References: Acts 20:1-16, Galatians 3:28 Pastor: Daniel Hendrickson

When a revival started in Ephesus, the sale of Artemis shrines dropped significantly. A silversmith named Demetrius, who made silver shrines, stirred up a riot after seeing the loss of business. As God's kingdom impacts the culture, persecution against the followers of Jesus will increase. Scripture References: Acts 19:21-41, Psalm 115:4-8 Pastor: Daniel Hendrickson

Speaker: Pastor Daniel Hendrickson Title: Sharing the Gospel

God was doing extraordinary miracles through Paul. But when the Seven Sons of Sceva tried to mimic Paul's authority, a demon possessed man overpowered them and wounded them. In response to this power encounter, many people of Ephesus confessed and divulged their practices and burned their books of magic. Scripture References: Acts 19:11-20, James 2:19, 1 Peter 5:8, 1 John 5:19, Matthew 7:21-23, Ep...

The angel said "He is not here, for he has risen, as he said. Come, see the place where he lay." Jesus rose from the dead, because Jesus always does what he says he will do. Come and see that Jesus is alive! Scripture References: Matthew 28:1-15, Matthew 27:63, John 3:16, Matthew 28:9 Pastor: Daniel Hendrickson

As Jesus died on a cross, he spoke his last words. These seven statements of Jesus from the cross have forever changed the lives of those who believe in him.

Paul found some disciples in Ephesus. After explaining the way of God more accurately to them, they were baptized in the name of Jesus, and baptized with the Holy Spirit. Paul stayed for two years in Ephesus teaching the Word of God, so that all the residents of Asia heard the Word of God. Scripture References: Acts 19:1-10, Acts 18:21, Matthew 3:11 Pastor: Daniel Hendrickson

Paul ends his second missionary journey after leaving Corinth and passing through Ephesus. He leaves Priscilla and Aquila in Ephesus to help strengthen the church there. While in Ephesus, they meet a Jewish man named Apollos. After hearing him speak in the synagogue, they privately take him aside and explain God's message to him more clearly. Scripture References: Acts 18:12-28, 1 Corinthians 1:1...

When Paul first came into Corinth, he was met with opposition. Paul was afraid, but Jesus appeared to him in a vision and said, “Do not be afraid, but go on speaking and do not be silent, for I am with you, and no one will attack you to harm you, for I have many in this city who are my people.” Paul discovered that community and friendship helped him overcome fear, and he stayed in Corinth for a y...

When Paul was waiting for Silas and Timothy to come to Athens, he was provoked in his spirit because of the idolatry he saw in the city. Paul knew he had to start telling people about Jesus. Paul then found himself preaching on the Areopagus in Athens, a famous hill where philosophers taught and debated new ideas. Paul preached Jesus and the resurrection. Our message is a person, not a philosophy....

The Word of God continued to spread throughout Macedonia by the missionary efforts of Paul. Cities like Thesselonica and Berea were impacted with the gospel, and the message of Jesus spread out from those cities. Scripture References: Acts 17:1-15, 1 Thessalonians 1:8 Pastor: Daniel Hendrickson

Paul and his missionary team go to Philippi, and after Lydia gets saved they go to find a place of prayer. On the way they are met by a demonized slave girl, but she gets saved. Then Paul and Silas are thrown in prison, and the jailer also gets saved. These are three great testimonies of salvation in Philippi. Scripture References: Philippians 1:3-5, Acts 16:16-40, Philippians 1:6 Pastor: Daniel H...

Paul began the second missionary journey by taking Silas to Derbe and Lystra, and there they met Timothy, a young disciple. Timothy joined Paul, and so did Luke, and the Holy Spirit led them to Macedonia to start a new work of God in Europe. Scripture References: Acts 16:1-15, 1 Timothy 1:2, 2 Timothy 1:5, 2 Timothy 3:14-15 Pastor: Daniel Hendrickson

The Jerusalem council united over an agreement of how people are saved, but then Paul and Barnabas divided over a disagreement about John Mark. Scripture References: Acts 15:22-41, 1 Corinthians 14:3, 2 Timothy 4:11 Pastor: Daniel Hendrickson

As we read about how the early church wrestled with the issue of whether Gentiles who came to faith in Christ had to also keep any part of the law to be saved, we will see how to deal with false teaching in the church and why the truth that salvation by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone, gives God the greatest glory, and is the basis for true Christianity.
