Book: Spiritual Warfare (Fighting the Good Fight of Faith) by Brian Brodersen

Posted on February 1, 2015February 12, 2018

Many years ago, A. W. Tozer posed the question:

“THE WORLD: PLAYGROUND OR BATTLEGROUND?”

The Scriptures affirm the latter to be the case. All around us a battle rages, yet quite often we are oblivious to it. It is vital that every Christian understands the reality of spiritual warfare and knows how to effectively fight the good fight of faith.

In this book, Pastor Brian Brodersen brings biblical balance and practical insight to the subject of spiritual warfare.

Spiritual Warfare was written to heighten the Christian’s awareness of this spiritual battle and its reality in our daily lives. It was also written with the hope of bringing a biblical balance to a vitally important, but often misunderstood subject. My prayer is that God will use the truths herein to enlighten and strengthen His people in the fight of faith.

Book: Acts Commentary by Chuck Smith

Posted on December 1, 2014March 26, 2021

Through the years, we have had the privilege of seeing the phenomenal, miraculous work of the Holy Spirit in the growth of the Calvary Chapels. Many of these have been learned the hard way, which are fundamental principles that God has blessed. They express God’s intention for the church and are to be found in this commentary study of the book of Acts.

In reality, Acts is an open-ended book. Chapters are still being written today all over the world, as Jesus continues touching and changing lives. Presently, the Holy Spirit is indwelling, empowering, guiding, and teaching those who have put their trust in Jesus Christ.

Pastor Jon Courson says “Pastor Chuck has a uniquely beautiful way of “taking the hay out of the loft and putting it on the barn floor where the cows can eat it! And it caused me to be oh-so-deeply impressed … with Jesus. Thus, it is with a heart of expectancy and anticipation I wholeheartedly commend this Acts commentary to you.”
