Prayer Request

Pastors Corner

Pastor Robert Ingram

Dear Calvary Chapel Bear Creek Family,

As we enter Passion Week 2023, we are ever reminded of God’s great love for us in John 3:16, “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that who so ever believes in Him will not perish but have everlasting life”.

What powerful commission the Lord has given us to go out, therefore, and baptize and make disciples of all nations. Yesterday I was so blessed to lead a Passover Seder for Students at Grace Christian School, with much thanks to Brenda Maples and her amazing staff. Six children raised their hands to receive Christ at the conclusion of the sedar, Thank You Jesus!

OH LORD, OUR GOD!  Fill our hearts with a passion and love for all of the lost so that we will go out with passion and share the love of Jesus and the amazing gospel of salvation!

Check out our April calendar as there are many opportunities to bring friends and family to Bear Creek beginning on Good Friday!

God bless you all,
Pastor Rob

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.
