Teachings from Calvary Chapel Liberty

We meet John the Baptist, the forerunner, the one that was sent to prepare the way for Jesus. He strikes at the heart of the religious leaders and still gives hope to those who are seeking. We end our first Sunday of the month with Communion.

The story of Isaac and Rebekah. It's the story of a servant, it's the story of a father, it's the story of God's providence and redemptive plan, it is a story of Divine Romance.

We look at the one and only glimpse into the life of Jesus between His infancy and adulthood when He began His public ministry. There are lessons for each of us to apply to our daily lives.

We come to a significant moment in the life of Abraham, his wife Sarah's passing. We look at how Abraham acquired her burial plot and what her life means for us today. We saw this video on The Cave of Machpelah

Alternate titles for this teaching could be: The Consolation of Israel, or The Christmas Story. We cover the birth of Jesus up until his presentation at the temple when he was 41 days old.

Finally, Zacharias can speak again! A sone commenter said, "unbelief closed Zacharias' lips, and faith opened them." There is so much to learn from this scene is scripture.

This is one of those chapters that stands out among all of the scenes and stories in scripture. It is monumental in the life of Abraham, the history of Israel, and the greater prophetic revelation of Jesus in the Hebrew Scriptures. And it speaks volumes to us personally as well.

We see the what the Holy Spirit can do when two believers come together and learn so much from these to godly women, Elizabeth and Mary.

Abraham goes through another very trying circumstance, when he has to send Hagar And Ishmael away. We also see how he makes a lasting peace treaty with Abimelech. Through it all he has a greater more personal revelation of the LORD and continues to put down roots.

The Annunciation of the birth of Jesus Christ. We take time to dive deep into this moment recorded for us in the Gospel of Luke.

We begin our study with a shameful difficult moment in Abraham and Sarah's life but end with the promised son finally being born! And through it all we see that God is faithful.

Luke starts with an incredible dedication and explanation of the Gospel writers methods. Then we begin to read the story of Zacharias, Elizabeth, and their miracle baby, John.

One of the toughest chapters in Genesis so far. Tough for many reasons, how it affects Abraham, Lot's tragic story, and in its application to our personal lives and culture today.

The Gospel according to Luke is such an amazing book of the bible. We look at some highlights of the Gospel of Luke and then spend time getting to know Luke the person, one of only four gospel writers.

We get a peek into Abraham's friendship with God and learn about intercessory prayer.

John the baptizer, speaking of Jesus said: He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire. Jesus speaking of the Holy Spirit that would come after Him said that it would be like rivers of Living Water springing up out of those that would receive Him. We look at who the Holy Spirit is and what it means to be baptized by Him.

God appears to Abram again and changes his name to Abraham. This is also when Sarai's name is changed to Sarah. They also get the name for this promised child revealed to them, Isaac. Although they are so close to seeing this promise come to pass they still have more to learn and grow.

This Sunday was Calvary Chapel Liberty's first ever baptism. We took time to look at the what, when, who, why, and where of Baptism from the scriptures. We look at the Baptisms of Jesus, Paul, and Cornelius.

We see Abram and Sarai take a detour on the road of faith. They begin to trust in their own ideas and plans. We see that Hagar meets The LORD and tells her to name this son in her womb Ishmael.

In today's message we come to the end of the Gospel of Mark. What an amazing journey it has been. We read about the resurrection account of Jesus Christ and the work that He left for His followers to do.

We look at an incredible moment in the life of Abram when God makes a one sided and unconditional covenant with him.

We read through Mark's account of the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. The details provided in the scriptures give us a glimpse into our Saviors passion and suffering.

Abraham passes his next test of faith! We see the incredible work God is doing in Abrahams life, and by contrast the foolish choices Lot is making. Towards the end of the chapter we meet the King of Salem, Melchizedek.

Before Jesus is led to the cross he is interrogated and condemned by Pontius Pilate. We learn more about what Jesus went through and what he did for us.

We look at a moment in Abraham and Sarahs life where one of them ran to the world for help, while the other trusted in the Lord with all their heart. Towards the end we see Lot beginning to backslide again.
