Entourage Of Arrogance part 2

February 8, 2025

Our focus today continues to be what pastor Al calls the “entourage of arrogance”.  What is mankind’s biggest problem, when it comes to a relationship with God? It’s pretty simple. We don’t think we need a God. Who knows better what’s best for me than me? That attitude is a recipe for disaster, and pastor Al will share the reasons why today, as we continue in James chapters four and five.

Everyone admires consistency. To be a consistent Christian is a real challenge, isn’t it? Trials come our way. Temptation is always out there. James has some great insights regarding consistency in the first chapter of his epistle, so turn there and join us if you would

Wisdom is something we all need at various times in our lives, in fact more times than not.  Temptations are everywhere today, and wisdom and prayer are the way we can avoid falling into sin. James makes it clear that we should go to God, the author of wisdom, when in need.

On our last program we introduced a new study in the book of James. Any long journey requires endurance. The same can be said of the Christian life. James has some practical and wise things to say about endurance and what it produces. Join us in James chapter one

Today, we enter the New Testament book of James. You’ll find James toward the end of the New Testament, right after Hebrews. James was the half-brother of our Lord Jesus Christ, and as we’ll see during this study, he was a preacher of extraordinary passion. The book of James is all about faith in Christ, and what a relationship with Him really means.

Today as we study James on The Dwelling Place, we learn that arrogance and pride are major roadblocks to a close relationship with God. Who really knows what’s best for us? Most of us, of course, think we do. However, James, in a very bold and uncompromising way, shows us in chapter four of his epistle that reliance on God is the only way to go!

Today we’ll be reminded that all ministry is by grace and is to be centered in the gospel. As we’ve seen so many times in recent years, straying from the truth is a commonplace occurrence. We'll begin in Romans fifteen beginning in verse seventeen.

Today’s message is all about confidence. Not the bragging kind of confidence we see on display almost everywhere, but the confidence of knowing that God will do what he says he will do.  Again, to have that confidence, we need constant reminders. We pick up in Romans fifteen, with pastor Al.

 As believers, we can have confidence in what God has promised, because we know that God never makes a promise He won’t keep. Today we will examine the goodness of God in the lives of His people, from Romans fifteen

We are nearing the end of a verse by verse journey through one of the greatest books in the bible - Paul’s letter to the Romans. Challenging is an understatement when it comes to the words we read here. Romans has been described as the Magna Carta of the Christian faith. Today we’ll continue in chapter fifteen, and a message all about abounding  hope!

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.
