To Live Is Christ, to Die Is Gain

When Steve faced death with little hope, he began to read Ezekiel, Daniel, and Revelation as travel brochures and it made him excited for heaven. As a cancer patient he would read Philippians 1:22 in two sections. The first was the good, the second the bad. GOOD: Living for Christ. He wanted to live. Then there was the BAD: to die… he didn’t want to go there. But then he finally realized that it wasn’t bad at all. In fact, it was full of hope. If we are living for Christ, one day, to die will be gain—we will see Jesus face to face! Listen to this encouraging message given at Calvary Chapel Santa Fe Springs, California.

Psalm 23, The Lord Is My Shepherd

Psalm 23 is probably one of the most quoted chapters in the entire Bible. It is quoted at funerals and at the bedsides of those who are going through the darkest of times in their lives. This psalm has brought comfort to many as they try to find meaning in their difficulties. The psalm is a journey. It is about a Shepherd who leads his flock from green pastures through the valley of the shadow of death to the house of the Lord forever. Listen as Steve gives a message of comfort and hope at The Anchor, Calvary Chapel San Pedro. It may just be time for you to begin your journey with the Good Shepherd.

Powerful, Passionate, Prayer

What can be accomplished in prayer? Lots of things. We have to keep in mind that whenever we ask for things that we might think are impossible, we are still asking beneath the power of God to accomplish it. Does that make sense to you? That the greatest thing that we can ever ask for is barely touching the power of God to accomplish it. Listen to this message of hope as Steve teaches from James 5:6.

Future and Hope

When your name comes before God, what else do you think comes to mind? If you are like most of us, you may think that God is out to get you, but he isn’t. Listen as Steve tells his inspirational story at Calvary Chapel in the Ozarks (Rogers, Arkansas) that will show you that God thinks good things about you, to give you a future and a hope!
