Calvary Chapel Fort Lauderdale Video Podcast

The prophet Zephaniah is the focus in this message as we continuing through our series Minor Prophet | Major Message. Pastor Chet Lowe shares how God opposes the proud, gives grace to the humble and it’s time for us to make our choice to purpose to be right with God.

Concluding our three-week look into the mission and vision of Calvary Chapel, Pastor Doug Sauder teaches a message on new vision from the Book of Luke. Here, we study the stories of a blind man and a tax collector who encountered Jesus and had their lives changed as we learn that God has given us the ability to see the world through Him, as if for the first time.

The Book of Joel contains prophecies about events during the time of the author as well as events to occur centuries later. Pastor Dan Hickling focuses on the future events, including the Day of Pentecost recorded in Acts chapter 2, and the Great Tribulation and the Millennium described in Daniel and in Revelation. These prophecies illustrate how God has a plan to protect and prosper His people.

Christianity is not something you do by yourself. As Pastor Doug Sauder gives the second installment of a three-part message outlining Calvary Chapel's mission and vision, he teaches that becoming a disciple is a lifelong pursuit that requires us to cultivate deep relationships with other disciples.

In the Book of Joel, we see that God's people had become so comfortable with the blessings of grain and wine that their hearts had grown cold to the very One who had given them these gifts. As a result, God sent swarms of locusts to devour their crops so they would turn once again to Him. In this message, Pastor Chris Baselice challenges us to see the "swarms" of our own lives as God desires to have our whole-hearted devotion.

Pastor Doug Sauder introduces the church's vision for connecting people to God, people to people, and people to outreach. He then teaches from Luke 18, which tells the stories of several people who illustrate the kind of heart we should have toward God: a persistent widow, a humble tax collector, a group of children, and a rich young ruler. If we want to connect with God intimately, we should have a heart that is persistent, humble, childlike, and surrendered.

Pastor Doug Sauder starts us on a 12-week teaching series where we'll study six of the Minor Prophets and discover they each have a major message for us today. This study of Obadiah focuses on the topics of pride, judgement, consequences, and reconciliation.

On this Compassion Weekend, Pastor Chet Lowe asks this question: “Do we do acts of compassion to counter our selfish existence?” The result is “compassion fatigue.” God is calling us to be something more—actual compassionate people.

Have you ever questioned the purpose of your life? Nick Vujicic, of Life Without Limbs, shares an inspiring message of how God has given him the strength to overcome countless obstacles even after being born without arms or legs. No matter what you've done or how inadequate you might feel, God has an incredible plan for your life and nothing can separate you from His unconditional love.

In Jesus' day, the Pharisees wondered when the kingdom of God would come. In Luke 17:20-37, we learn that God's kingdom is invisible now, but it will one day be revealed in power and glory. Until then, it's our job to allow God to change us from the inside out and live in such a way that we make our King and His kingdom visible to those around us.
