I need to correct a mistake that I made last Wednesday. I said THAT would be our last message from Acts 14. But, here in verse 27 we find a vein of ore too rich not to be mined for a few minutes more. Paul and Barnabas had returned to their home church in Antioch,...

The message tonight is called: “The Galatian Problem.” I’m not sure that this is the most appropriate time to tackle this subject, but if we don’t do it now, I’m not sure that we’ll find a better time. Actually, this message shouldn’t be “The...

I don’t think that Satan will ever destroy Calvary Independent Baptist Church. It’s not because we have the promise of God any more than did the churches at Ephesus or Antioch. And it’s not because we are a better church than any of those of which we read in the...

Elijah, the Tishbite, was going through a very interesting period in his life and service for the Lord. He had been commissioned to announce to the King of Israel that there was a 3½ year famine coming. That famine fell on the land like a prairie wild-fire. But the...

There is an infamous cult of quasi-Christians living in the hills of West Virginia, Kentucky and Tennessee. Every once in a while they pull out their stash of rattlesnakes and play with them in their church services. They pet them, they carry them, they even hold them...

Is there anyone here tonight who understands all the REFERENCES TO JAMES in the New Testament? If there is, I will gladly sit down and let you lead us in a good Bible study. Anyone? I’m not sure that anyone can dogmatically answer all the questions that I have about...

Our church, like many other churches, has something that we call our “Statement of Faith.” It outlines most of the things that we believe. It would be much simpler, and yet correct, to say that we believe the Bible from cover to cover. We even believe the...

This is our eighth message from Acts 15. The primary theme of the chapter is the council at Jerusalem, And the subject of that theme was the salvation of the Gentiles. We’ve looked at the Peter’s relationship to that meeting and also James’ and Paul’s. We made a quick...
