If you’re a parent, I’m sure you could use some encouraging words about raising Godly kids. It’s a tough job, isn’t it? But God has a specific plan for us parents - and He’s always there for us in those times when we become frustrated.

For the last couple of broadcasts, Al has been discussing Husbands and Wives, and today we’re going to 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. I think we can all testify to the fact that there are a lot of parents out there who could really use a refresher course in raising kids properly.

The more a society comes against the church, the more the Church grows. Something like this can only be explained by the grace of God. The apostle Paul certainly went through intense persecution, but God used this in his life in a magnificent way to spread the Good News. Today, we’ll take a look at First Thessalonians, chapter one, and what it means to us twenty-first century Christians.

We come back to pastor Al Pittman’s look at Husbands and Wives today, as we consider Colossians three, verses eighteen and nineteen.  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.

There is no question that marriage in the year 2024 is an endangered species.  For all too many, their marriage resembles a war zone, and others are on the brink of a divorce, or just hanging in there for the kids.  Marriage not only doesn’t have to be that way, but God has given us everything we need in His Word to have a successful and very happy marital relationship.

Today we’ll return to our verse by verse study through the book of Colossians, as we look at chapter three, verses twelve through seventeen. The people of Colossi were not too different from believers today - they tended to stray away from their faith and trust themselves to find the answers to a fulfilling life. Paul’s letter is designed to lead them back to Christ. Sounds like a good idea, doesn’t it?

Pastor Al Pittman is leading us on a journey through Colossians right now, and we have reached the middle of chapter three. Fortunately for us, our Lord cares enough about us to lay out our clothes in Scripture, so we know what to put on. Pastor Al Pittman joins us now in Colossians three, verses twelve through seventeen.

Being a Christian in a secular world isn’t always easy is it? You might even see the conflict between righteousness and worldliness on the job every day. The temptations are everywhere. But, as we’ll see in our study today, Christians are supposed to set themselves above the ways of the world - by displaying unity.

 How did the Gospel come to the apostle Paul? For that matter, how did it come to you? In our new study of First Thessalonians today, we’ll seek to answer this question and more. Join us, in the first chapter of First Thessalonians as we plan on covering verses five through ten. 
May 25, 2024
Pastor Al Pittman is drawing practical insights for our lives from Colossians right now, and as we turn to chapter three we focus once on the things that can divide us, and how we can avoid the disaster of division. Our scripture reference today is Colossians chapter three, verses five through eleven.

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.
