In part 1 of our 3 part series on Marriage, Pastor Jeff Stewart from Calvary Chapel Pomona Valley teaches on the incredible importance of a strong spiritual life in your marriage.

1 Samuel 15 marks the major turning point in King Saul's life. He was commanded by God, through Samuel, to utterly destroy the Amalekites and not take anything that is theirs, but instead, he chose to fear man and not God. He let the people lead him; he didn't leave the people. Consequently, Samuel is sent by God to speak to Saul and inform him that the Kingdom has been taken from him and given to...

In 1 Thessalonians 4:9-12, the Apostle Paul encourages the Thessalonians to increase in their love by leading a quiet life, minding their own business, and working with their hands, in order to be an example to those who do not know Christ. Pastor Ryan gives a challenge in our witness and our work ethic from our text.

In 1 Samuel 13-14, we begin to see King Saul's downward spiral. He fails to recognize his role and King and begins to act as priest, thus ending the possibility for his kingdom to be established forever. Sadly, we find that, had his kingdom continued on, His Son, Jonathan, would have made a great king. In Chapter 14 we find Jonathan stepping out in faith that God can accomplish his desires by many...

In 1 Thessalonians 4:1-8 we seek to answer three questions: 1. What does the Bible mean by "Sexual Sin"? 2. Why should we avoid sexual sin? 3. How do we stay away from sexual sin?

In chapters 11 and 12 of 1st Samuel, we see Saul filled with the Holy Spirit as he rescues the people of Jabesh Gilead. After rescuing them, Samuel takes Saul back to Gilgal and there they renew the kingdom before the people, thereby re-affirming Saul as King. With our text we look at the empowering of the Spirit, and the sinfulness of asking for a king over the Lord.

In 1 Thessalonians chapter 3, we take a look at "Handling Difficulty Christianly". We take a look at three distinctions in the life of one who handles difficulty Christianly, or Christ-like: 1. Concern for Others (vv. 1-5); Being encouraged by the success of others (vv. 6-9); and Prayer for others (vv. 10-13). These are all traits that marked the life of Paul because he spent his life in the love...

In 1 Samuel chapters 8-10, we take a look at Israel's desire for a king, Samuel's warning about a king, and God's permission to give them their king; namely, Saul.

In this Podcast, we discuss the History, Vision, and Philosophy of Ministry of Calvary Chapel of Crook County with Pastor Ryan Couch.

In 1 Thessalonians 2, we see how how Paul Reached the Thessalonians with the Gospel, and how the Thessalonians responded the Gospel.

As we take a look at chapter 4-7 of first Samuel, we see the Lord carry out his Judgment on the house of Eli; we see the Ark of the Covenant lost to the Philistines; we see the Ark returned to Israel; and finally, we see Israel's humility as they place their faith back in the Lord and not in the Ark as some good luck charm.

Bill James, former Narcotics officer with Agents for Christ, shares his Testimony and the ministry vision of Agents for christ. Pastor Ryan closes with a charge to surrender your life to Christ.

Elder Kelly Avery shares on what a genuine saving faith looks like. It is more than mere intellectual musings or belief, it is an encounter with Jesus that literally changes our hearts.

Elder Kevin Vaughan teaches on hope. Many people place their hope and trust in their money, power, identity, and prowess, but those things can, and will, ultimately fail. How much better is it when we place our hope in God?!

We all want to hear from God, but most of would claim that we don't believe we ever have. While there are many reasons why we don't hear, it usually comes down to the fact that we aren't listening. In 1 Samuel 3, the boy, Samuel, hears from the Lord, while the Priest, Eli, does not. Often, hearing from Lord simply requires being willing to listen, and being humble to receive.

As we begin our study in the book of 1 Thessalonians, we take a look at verses 1-10 in chapter one. We have entitled our series through the book of 1 Thessalonians, "Hope in Jesus", because no matter what is going on around us in this life, we have hope in Jesus Christ for our eternal life. These things should not make us hate this life, but rather, live in hopeful and loving expectation of what J...

Elder Michael Gish shares on the lives of three men in the Bible; Solomon, Manasseh, and how they finished at the end of their lives.

In the final part of our 4 part series through the book of Ruth, we are greeted with hope. Prior to chapter 4, Ruth has gone to Boaz and offered herself as his wife if he is willing to redeem her and the land of her mother-in-law. Boaz is blessed by the offer, but let's her know that he must offer it to the person who is the closest in the family line, first. In chapter 4, we find Boaz making the...

1 Samuel 2 begins with Hannah's worshipful prayer to God for His provision. Hannah was pleased to be able to offer her first born son to the Lord for His service, and her prayer displays that. Samuel continued to grow and serve in the House of the Lord, and the Lord blessed him as he ministered. In contrast, the sons of Eli the Priest were wickedly sinful, despising the sacrifices of the Lord, and...

Youth Pastor Chad Carpenter shares on the importance of ministry from Luke 5:1-11.

As we begin our series in 1 Samuel, we take at look at the Lord's provision of a son for Hannah, and Hannah's act of worship in dedicating him to the Lord.

In Ruth chapter 3 we find Naomi encouraging Ruth to put herself in the way of Boaz. There is really one word that can best describe chapter 3, and that is "Hope". As Ruth and Naomi are being moved through God's divine providence, from trials and difficults, to the hope that is on the horizon, God is setting the stage for the greatest hope of all.

In the second part of our four part series through the book of Ruth, Pastor Ryan teaches chapter two. In it, we will focus on the three main characters of our story: Naomi, Ruth, and Boaz. In our text, we see three events: 1. The Mission of Ruth 2. The Meeting of Boaz 3. The Marveling of Naomi

In our final installment of our series, "Burning Questions", Pastor Ryan addresses some questions pertaining to eschatology, better known as "End Times".
