July 26, 2021

The number is hard to estimate, but there’s no doubting that false religions are a very serious problem in the year 2021. What about the past? Today on The Dwelling Place, we’ll see that false teachers plagued the church in Paul’s time as well. He sent his trusted understudy Titus to Crete to try and stem the tide.

If you were with us last time, you’ll remember Pastor Al began a message based on Revelation chapters fifteen and sixteen. Satan is fighting his last fight, and although he knows he must lose, he fights on. After this battle comes the final destruction of the earth. It’s frightening to think about it isn’t it? Well, as believers, we won’t be around for the terror, so take comfort in that fact.

At the present time, we are making our way through the book of Titus.  Here in the first chapter, we read of a tough task given to a man named Titus, but this mission was possible through the power of almighty God.  False prophets existed in that day, just as they do in our day.  But the question is, how do we respond to them?

Pastor Al Pittman is currently leading us through the book of Titus.   As we return to chapter one, we see that Titus was given quite a challenge. He was sent to an Island known as Crete, where rebellious men, and deceivers were abundant.  Let’s see now how he handled it.

Titus is an interesting book, because on the surface, many people tend to think it doesn’t really apply to them, because they aren’t in a leadership role at church. But as we will soon see, we are all leaders in shape or form - either at home, at church, or at the workplace.

Today on The Dwelling Place we continue a study of Titus.  Now it didn’t take the apostle Paul long for him to get right into the meat and potatoes in this epistle.  It’s all about the responsibilities and blessings of being a leader in the church.

Today, pastor Al Pittman kicks off a new series through the New Testament epistle of Titus. Titus was written by Paul to one of his most beloved proteges, Titus. This letter is a checklist of the qualifications for carrying our various duties within the church. How do we stack up? Let’s find out!

Here on The Dwelling Place, our journey through Revelation is nearing the point of the Grand Finale, and Pastor Al Pittman has set aside the next two broadcasts as a way to introduce it to Revelation chapter fifteen.  It is the shortest chapter in all of Revelation, but it is here that we read an introduction to the final outpouring of God’s judgment upon the earth.

Today we’re going to glean some more truths about the importance of submission in marriage - for both wives and husbands - and then move along to the other members of the family - the kids. Children are a real blessing - and a real challenge. But God knows what’s best when it comes to raising Godly children.

We come back to pastor Al Pittman’s series in Colossians today, as we consider Colossians three, verses eighteen through twenty-one.  Wives submitting to their husbands has been a controversial subject for as long as people have been reading these verses. The only reason there’s any controversy is that people have consistently misinterpreted what Paul’s meaning is.

 On today’s program, pastor Nathan Pittman brings his series in First John to a close with the second half of a message titled “Why Followers of Jesus Need To Follow His Example”.  Many times we want our own way, which runs in the opposite direction of God’s way. Jesus set a wonderful example for us to follow as He walked, talked and fellowshipped with the people He encountered.

About Al Pittman

Al was born in Panama City, Florida in 1955. His father was a career soldier, so the family traveled extensively. In 1973, when Al was seventeen years old, the family returned from a tour in Germany and settled in Colorado Springs. Soon after, Al realized God’s call on  his life and began serving in the music ministry as a bass guitarist with a Christian band  called, “The Rays of Light.” It was during this time that Al met Norma, and they were married on July 19, 1975. 

Al attended Nazarene Bible College in Colorado Springs, graduating in 1977 with a degree in Biblical Studies. In 1991 Al and his family moved to Albuquerque, New Mexico, and two years later he joined the staff of Calvary Chapel Albuquerque as an assistant pastor and co-worship leader. In the spring of 1997 the Lord called Al and his family back to Colorado Springs to pastor Calvary Worship Center. In 2006, Al earned his Master’s degree and in 2012 he earned his Doctorate degree in Ministry from Trinity Southwest University in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Al and Norma are the proud parents of three children, Renee, Nathan and Reggie, as well as proud grandparents. They covet your prayers for their family and ministry as they endeavor to live a life pleasing to the Father.
