By many standards, Jesus' ministry would appear to have gotten off to a rough start, but things are not always what they first appear. In this study, we will learn that success in ministry is not necessarily gauged by popular opinion.

Before Jesus began His earthly ministry, the Holy Spirit led Him into the wilderness to be tested by the Devil. In this study, Pastor Brian explores what we can learn from Jesus' experience, and how we might apply these things to better understand the value of our own wilderness experiences.

As we continue on on our study of Luke's Gospel, Pastor Brian delves into God's equipping of John the Baptist, and his call to repentance in preparation for the coming Messiah.

Looking at Luke chapter 2, we have come to the birth of Christ, the fulfillment of God's ages-old promise, embodied in such a way as to leave us awestruck in His approachability. Join us as we look with wonder at the Lord's birth.

As we look into the Gospel of Luke, this morning Pastor Brian seeks to share insight regarding God's faithfulness to keep His promises, and also on the subject of worship as we consider Mary's song of praise and Zacharias' prophecy.

The announcement of the Incarnation of Christ; that the Eternal Word would soon come and dwell among men, is foundational to our Christian faith, but it is also an expression of God's desire to reach out to a fallen creation. In this morning's teaching, Pastor Brian directs our attention to the message that Gabriel brought from God to a young Jewish girl in Nazareth.

Meeting with God at Mt. Sinai, God has begun to give His Law to Moses and the people. In these following chapters, the Lord continues to reveal and expound on the Law; in particular here on the subjects of servants, capital punishment and the Cities of Refuge

The Scriptures all point to the person and work of Christ - God's revelation being a roadmap to redemption. That is certainly never more true than in the Gospel accounts. This morning we'll begin our look at Jesus' life and ministry as recorded by Luke.

In Acts 2:42-47, the Holy Spirit gave us a model for the church; the body of believers in Jesus. This morning we're going to take a look at our fellowship here at Calvary Chapel Franklin, looking at our history, and considering where the Lord is leading us in the days ahead as we seek to continue living out that model for the church in our modern day.

Paul's letter to Philemon is written by a bondslave, to a slave-owner about a runaway slave. In its principle players, we'll see three men who are required to live their faith out loud.
