The Gospel of Encouragemen

July 6, 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.

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”?

We’ve been traveling through the Book of Acts and today we’ll enter into a study of chapters twenty-seven and twenty-eight, the last two chapter of Acts. In our last time together, we read about the Apostle Paul’s shipwreck off the coast of Malta. We saw that, despite the challenges, Paul didn’t let his circumstances derail him from his true focus, sharing the love of Christ!

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.
