Our Rock

Paul the Apostle had been telling the Corinthians about the children of Israel and their journey from Egypt to the Promised Land. He did not have the New Testament, so he taught from the Old Testament. Paul was writing the New Testament as he was teaching the new church. We can see from Paul’s teaching, we have to read the Old Testament to fully understand the New Testament.

Abiding in Christ

Just as faith in God and repentance from sin are necessary for salvation, so they are necessary for the continuance of the Christian’s life.

Justification

Justification is God’s provision of salvation for guilty and lost sinners. Because of Christ’s redeeming work, His death on the cross, we no longer stand before God as sinners, unrighteous or guilty, but as holy, righteous and not guilty.

Sanctification

The term sanctification means “to be made holy” and “to be set apart.” Sanctification speaks of both a position and a process in the Christian life. The moment we are born again, we are sanctified, made holy, and also set apart for God’s purpose.

Regeneration

God wants to indwell us with His Spirit through regeneration, reviving our spirit, so we no longer walk according to the flesh, but in the Spirit.

Why We Should Study God's Word

The Bible is an incredible book of history and facts that proves that there is a God that created all things. Most important of all, the Bible is the Word of God. It contains the mind of God and His will for each one of our lives.

About Raul Ries

Raul Ries is the Senior Pastor of Calvary Chapel Golden Springs and President of Somebody Loves You Ministries. After his miraculous conversion in 1971, Raul began to read and study the Bible extensively even though he had a limited education. In 1974 he began a home Bible study with seven other committed individuals. Soon, he started to preach and counsel youth during the noon hour at his former high school, Baldwin Park High. Calvary Chapel West Covina grew out of Raul's home fellowship, as well as his Kung-Fu studio, and was soon meeting weekly at an old converted Safeway store. In 1993, the congregation moved to Diamond Bar and occupied a 101,000 square-foot corporate building on 28 acres. Calvary Chapel Golden Springs (as it is now called) draws between 10,000 - 12,000 in attendance weekly.

Author of several books, including Fury to Freedom (the story of his early life and dramatic conversion), Raul Ries has also produced three films: Fury to Freedom (feature film dramatization of the book); A Quiet Hope (a riveting and stirring documentary detailing seven soldier's accounts of the Vietnam War and its aftermath); and A Venture in Faith (a documentary of the history of the Calvary Chapel movement).
