Pastor Al is in the midst of a study of Romans and we’ll join him today in chapter one. One of the big issues of our day centers around the practice of homosexuality. Many people, including some Christians, accept it as a normal lifestyle and perfectly acceptable. But what we should be concerned with is what the Bible has to say on the subject.

Our study today is framed around Romans, chapter one, verses sixteen through thirty-three. Pastor Al is going to ask each one of us to consider and important point today - the gospel message of salvation through faith is something we should never be ashamed of.

We continue today with our examination of Romans, where we’ve been discovering timeless lessons on how to effectively live out the Christian faith. The apostle Paul made no secret of the fact that the Christians in Rome held a special place in his heart. Though surrounded by the snares of the world, they remained a solid, God-believing church - not an easy task at all. Can the same be said for the Christian church in 2023?

There’s a popular saying among pastors concerning sermons. It goes something like this. “Tell them what you’re going to tell them, then tell them, and finally, tell them what you told them.” The apostle Paul employs this method in his writing of Romans. Having already introduced himself, he will now give a basic introduction explaining what’s ahead of us in the coming chapters of this fascinating book.

Many well known religions acknowledge that Jesus Christ was a good teacher - perhaps even a prophet - but they often deny His deity. However, the truth of the Scriptures shows them to be wrong. The book of Romans does not pull any punches when it describes Jesus as who He really is - God in human flesh. Romans also serves as a tutorial on how to effectively live out our faith.

Today we begin delving into the Book of Romans. It should be noted as we begin, that Romans is considered by many bible scholars to be one of the top three most important books in the bible. Many rate it number one! In Chapter one we are introduced to the apostle Paul, who exemplifies this great work of God for a man, in a man, and through a man.

Today we bring you Al’s final message in his verse by verse series through Colossians. If you summed up this letter, it would be a loving warning to the church of Colossi that they had strayed from the true gospel and were more interested in philosophy and “higher thought” than  the real message of repentance and salvation through Christ. Sound familiar?

Have you ever had that feeling that someone was watching you? Well, if you’re a Christian, that feeling is legitimate, because the world is watching. We have an awesome responsibility as believers to live a pure and holy life - so the world will see the difference Christ has made in our lives.

We’re currently studying Colossians, and we’ll be in chapter four, verses two through four. The subject is prayer - and why we should always seek the Lord first and foremost! Too many of us use prayer as a “last resort”, and that’s a real shame.
June 29, 2023
Today, as we continue our series through Colossians, we look at chapter four, verses two through four. Here, the apostle Paul gives some sage advice about prayer. Prayer is a wonderful gift from God, but it’s wasted by far too many Christians. Can your prayer life be described as “vigilant”?

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.
