Prayer Request

Our Beliefs

Calvary Chapel is a fellowship of believers in the Lordship of Jesus Christ. Our greatest desire is to know Christ and be conformed to His image by the power of the Holy Spirit. We are not a denominational church, nor are we opposed to denominations, as such. We are opposed only to the emphasis of non-biblical teachings that divide the Body of Christ. We believe the true basis of Christian fellowship is God's love, which is greater than our differences. Without His love, we have no right to say we are Christians.

Therefore we remain flexible so the Holy Spirit may direct our worship.

Therefore we give a great place to music in our worship.

Therefore, in our services, we emphasize Bible teaching so God may instruct us how He would be worshiped.

Therefore we look for His love in our lives as the greatest evidence that we are truly worshiping Him.

Back

This is always the heart of temptation: to let the
flesh rule over the spirit…

And thus, in every situation I must determine whether I will yield to the desires of my flesh or to the desires of the spirit.

Jesus used the Word of God to answer every temptation Satan brought. That is why it is so important for us to have the Word of God stored away in our hearts. The abiding Word of God in you will be the secret of your strength in overcoming whatever temptation Satan brings your way.

Prepare yourself now, for temptation will surely come. Plan your steps before you face the choice. When God’s Word says one thing and Satan says another, what will you do? Will you yield yourself to God and follow after His Word, or will you let your flesh rule over your spirit?

Father, we confess that so often we have failed the test; that we’ve allowed the flesh to rule over the spirit. Forgive us, Lord, and cleanse us. Let us be governed by Your Holy Spirit and by Your eternal Word of truth
In Jesus’ name, amen.
