Calvary Chapel Fort Lauderdale Video Podcast

In this night of prayer and worship, Pastor Doug calls us to carry our personal anxieties to God and to join together as an army of prayer warriors asking God to move upon our families, city, and world in a big way. Pastor Doug is joined by several others leading in prayer, including Dr. Rosalind Osgood from the Broward County School Board.

Picking up in Ruth chapter two of our “Nothing Wasted” series, Pastor Doug Sauder shows us that God treats outcasts like family, that His love goes beyond the law, that He shelters the weak under His wings, and that His provision is more than enough.

As Pastor Jerry Sander concludes our series in the Book of 1 Timothy, he breaks down the Christian life—a life that's personal, powerful, and perilous but also one of pursuit, patience, and potential pitfalls. Through this message, we're encouraged to “stay the course” that God has prepared for us.

Named after a pagan, Moabite woman, the Book of Ruth is unique among the books of the Bible. Here we see God use an unlikely woman to foreshadow His redemptive plan for mankind. In this message, pastor Doug Sauder takes us through Ruth chapter one as we begin an exciting new series titled "Nothing Wasted."

What is the most radical way you could live your life for the gospel? Sometimes it's not seen in the most extreme ways but in the every day. Paul continues his letter to Timothy sharing practical examples of ways the church could be a witness of Christ to those around them by living their lives with honor, humility, and contentment.

What makes someone a strong leader? This weekend, Pastor Doug Sauder closed out our “Build” series through the Book of Nehemiah with a teaching in Nehemiah 13 offering a sober reminder of the qualifications for spiritual leadership.

Our dear friend, Pastor Chet Lowe, who now serves at Calvary Chapel Costa Mesa, reminds us that people are watching us as we write our life stories. We are living parables, or living letters as Paul references in 2 Corinthians 3, that represent our Savior to a watching world.

In Nehemiah 11 and 12, the Jews in Jerusalem rejoice over the building of the walls with an elaborate, carefully planned celebration. This weekend was FPU Celebration Weekend, and as we heard some amazing testimonies of the work God has done through this class, Pastor Doug shared some important principles regarding the power of celebration.

Newsflash: the Church is made up of imperfect people! As a young pastor, Timothy faced many challenges overseeing an imperfect family of believers. Seeing this, Paul gives wise advice and specific guidelines about how to love and lead men and women of all ages and position into right and holy relationships.

After gathering inside the newly rebuilt walls of Jerusalem, the people of Israel began a fast, publicly repenting and confessing their sins and rededicating themselves to worship and obey God. Pastor Fidel Gomez relates this story from Nehemiah 9 and 10 to show that God is forgiving and merciful and that He will bless and revive us when we repent and turn to Him.
