Happy 7th Anniversary Calvary Chapel

"Faith is Tested" from Hebrews 11:17
There are so many ways to test a genuine gold, one of the best way is to examine it carefuly and put into fire to melt it. Same goes to Christian test of faith.

We should not lean on our own understanding we must come to God by faith even though we don't understand. Many of other religions would not believe that Jesus was the son of God. If you don't believe that God walked down to the Earth and sacrifice His son to save humanity there's no salvation.
Satan will always doubt us that the Bible is real.
By faith God will use anybody to surrender to Him. Believe even if we haven't see it, Heaven is real. Blessed are those who believe.

Many people dreamed of to be rich and famous and when they finally got it they felt empty. The things of the world will never satisfy us but God will.

Sin is delicious otherwise nobody will do it.
For love to be meaningful you have a choice saying No to sin and Yes to God, it takes faith to do that. What good is it when you gain the whole world and looses your soul?

When you hold on to faith even the whole world will make fun at you, stand up to Jesus. The more faith to God the stronger temptations will be because satan gets angry choosing God over him.
When dealing with anger the world or not christian psychology would say "shout and tell them you are angry, tell everybody about your anger to over come it". Will that work or makes it worst? By telling everybody about your anger will eventually gain enemies.

God says "Be quick to listen and slow to speak" in short be quiet.
When things are going good hold on to our faith in God.
When things are going bad the more we should hold on to our faith in God.

Pastor's Message


Lamentations 3:22-23 Because of the LORD'S great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.
Looking back at the last 7 years of our church, we see how faithful God has been. And when we look forward to what He will do, we know He will remain faithful. -Pastor Ken Pascua

Notes from Mark 13:14-27

Mark 13:14-27 New International Version (NIV) 14 “When you see ‘the abomination that causes desolation’[a] standing where it[b] does not belong—let the reader understand—then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. 15 Let no one on the housetop go down or enter the house to take anything out. 16 Let no one in the field go back to get their cloak. 17 How dreadful it will be in those days for pregnant women and nursing mothers! 18 Pray that this will not take place in winter, 19 because those will be days of distress unequaled from the beginning, when God created the world, until now—and never to be equaled again. 20 “If the Lord had not cut short those days, no one would survive. But for the sake of the elect, whom he has chosen, he has shortened them. 21 At that time if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Messiah!’ or, ‘Look, there he is!’ do not believe it. 22 For false messiahs and false prophets will appear and perform signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even

Mark 13:32-37

Mark 13:32-37 New International Version (NIV) The Day and Hour Unknown 32 “But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. 33 Be on guard! Be alert[a]! You do not know when that time will come. 34 It’s like a man going away: He leaves his house and puts his servants in charge, each with their assigned task, and tells the one at the door to keep watch. 35 “Therefore keep watch because you do not know when the owner of the house will come back—whether in the evening, or at midnight, or when the rooster crows, or at dawn. 36 If he comes suddenly, do not let him find you sleeping. 37 What I say to you, I say to everyone: ‘Watch!’”
