Christmas Dream part 2

December 20, 2022

Today we continue our new series for Christmas by looking once again at the dream Joseph was given by God to prepare him for the birth of Jesus. Now, I am sure you have had a few weird dreams over the years, but how would you have reacted if God told you your fiancé was going to give birth to the savior of the world? Joseph did the right thing. Let’s see what we can glean from this familiar story in Matthew chapter one.

In Acts chapter eighteen we find the apostle Paul struggling with discouragement. To encourage Paul, the Lord brings him an encouraging word, and stirs him to seek out a friend. Maybe discouragement is dogging you or someone close to you. Let me invite you to join us as we look at how God encourages the discouraged.

Today our teacher, Pastor Al Pittman, will continue our study through the Psalms, as we look again at Psalms 112. Can you imagine a world in which man’s very first thought in any situation was “How can I glorify God?” Virtually every disagreement, big and small would be solved in a righteous way. Al’s message today will concern the contrast between the wickedness of man, and the Lovingkindness of God, and why God deserves out constant praise!

Our series in Psalms continues today as we bring you a study from Psalm 112.

This daily time of study and application in God’s word is dedicated to bringing you closer to Him by seeking out His love and truth in scripture. Today we’ll be looking at Psalm 110. As Al Pittman will point out today, this is a Psalm that was often quoted in the New Testament, because it speaks of the Holiness and perfection of Jesus Christ - the Son of God!

. When was the last time you felt really lonely? It doesn’t matter what stage of life you’re in, or what level of success you enjoy, every human being feels lonely from time to time. But I’m here to tell you today that there’s really no need for the Christian to feel lonely, because God is here..no matter where you are. It’s a very powerful experience when a Christian first realizes that God is real, He is here with us, and He’s working in our lives!

Pastor Al Pittman will get us started in Acts seventeen in just a moment, if you’d like to turn there now. We’re tracing Paul’s footsteps in Athens.  And today I think you’ll find it helpful as we learn how to share our faith with a world that is hostile to our message.

Do you have priorities every day? We all do, and our priorities say a lot about where our relationship God stands. Many people have a list of priorities that doesn’t contain a single mention of God. That’s a tragedy. Today, pastor Al brings us the final segment of his message based in Psalm 109. This psalm reminds us that worshipping God should be our number one priority in life - and that should be the case every single day!

Today we’ll again be studying the Psalms, so open your Bible to Psalm 108 as I introduce today’s study. Who should we thank for the good things in life? King David was described as a man after God’s own heart. One of the reasons he attained such a lofty title was his way of always giving God credit for his success, and going straight to God when times got tough. We’ll read all about it today as we see David giving God the glory.

About Al Pittman

Al was born in Panama City, Florida in 1955. His father was a career soldier, so the family traveled extensively.

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.
