Verse by verse teaching through the Word of God with Pastor John Terry

Calvary Chapel Newberg

Being human we are born with certain default settings that drive us to think in certain ways. When we become a Christian a war starts between a new nature seeking to establish a beachhead and take over and the old regime that wants to stay in control. Join Pastor Tom Fuller from Calvary Chapel Newberg for this verse by verse study through the Bible.

Galatians 5:13 - 18 The War Within

If we're not supposed to follow the law to please God, then what is its purpose? Do we ignore it altogether? Paul wants the Galatians to understand the two main purposes of the law.

Shedding the Shackles of Legalism - Part 2 Galatians 3:1-26 Contract Law & Billboards

What do you rely on for how you behave? That might seem like a simple question but who and what influences you can mean the difference between relying on your own abilities or falling on the grace of Jesus. The answer is simple: die! Join Pastor Tom Fuller of Calvary Chapel for this series on escaping legalism.

Shedding the Shackles of Legalism - Part 2 Galatians 2:1-21 Going Under the House

Without attention and energy, we humans will default back to our flesh pleasing ways even after coming to Jesus. That's where the lie of legalism is so pervasive. Paul begins his battle against legalism by contrasting human achievement with grace.

Shedding the Shackles of Legalism - Part 1 Galatians 1:1-24 Any Other Gospel

Many times we as Christians live our lives in the dark. We think we are reasonably good people trying our best. But our past, our associations, the flesh, and the culture around us, conspire to blind us to many things that are not like the Lord going on in our lives. Paul wants the Corinthians to wake up, not so he can punish but so that he can spur them on to real growth - with their eyes wide open. Join Pastor Tom Fuller for this study.

How Will God Find You? 2 Corinthians 12:11-21

This question haunts many of us, especially as Christians. We think that things should go well if we are blessed of the Lord. When bad things happen, even seemingly disconnected things like losing a job or getting into an accident, we wonder why? Paul wondered this too, but provides a wonderful answer that will change your outlook on life. Join Pastor Tom Fuller from Calvary Chapel Newberg.

Why Do Bad Things Happen to Good People? 2 Corinthians 11:16 - 12:13

There are at least three ways that the enemy, working inside the church, moves Christians away from sincere faith and fidelity to the Lord Jesus. Learn what they are and how to spot and avoid them as Paul lays down the gauntlet against the false teachers in Corinth.

How to Spot a Fake - 2Corinthians 11:1-15

It is human nature to compare ourselves to one another. We do it all of the time very naturally and almost without noticing it. That's what was happening in Corinth and it was giving the Corinthians a false impression about who to trust. Join Pastor Tom Fuller of Calvary Chapel Newberg for this study.

Who's Better? 2 Corinthians 10:1-18

What motivates you to give? The Corinthians had an easy time setting unrealistic giving goals that set them up for failure, but a hard time giving in a way that released the gift to God and brought Him glory. In this chapter Paul gives us some valuable lessons in how to give freely and positively! Join Pastor Tom Fuller from Calvary Chapel Newberg in this study through God's Word.

Positive Giving - 2 Corinthians 8:1-8:24

Taking criticism is one of the hardest things for us humans. When it comes to God's critique of our lives, and areas He needs to touch, we often react with our natural human defenses. But Paul in addressing the subject with the Corinthian church, gives us a wonderful pattern of how to receive criticism from God and how to respond in a way that is very affirming. Join Pastor Tom Fuller from Calvary Chapel Newberg as he takes us verse by verse through God's Word.

Positive Repentance - 2 Corinthians 7:2-7:16

Often we enter into partnerships without thinking of the consequences for either us or those that we influence. Though we are not to withdraw from this world, we need to be careful when we entangle ourselves in the values of this age. Today we examine being in the world while not being of the world. Join Pastor Tom Fuller of Calvary Chapel Newberg as he takes us verse by verse through God's Word, the Bible.

How Far Will You Go? - 2 Corinthians 6:14-7:1

There are three questions each Christian should ask themselves when it comes to deciding just how far to go in serving the Lord. They are not easy questions, but your answers will reveal much about yourself. In 2 Corinthians 6, Paul gives us a clear choice and a wonderful path if we choose wisely! Join Pastor Tom Fuller from Calvary Chapel Newberg as he journeys through God's Word.

How Far Will You Go? - 2 Corinthians 6:1-7:1 - Part 1

Just how did Jesus pay for your sins? To understand this will give you a new appreciation for just how bad evil is, how good God is, and the value of what Jesus did for you on the cross and bears for you each and every day. It also makes our job description as a Christian easier to understand and fulfill. Join Pastor Tom Fuller from Calvary Chapel Newberg for this study in God's Word.

Jesus Became Sin - 2 Corinthians 5:11-21

We often measure our success by how closely we stick to a set of expectations - whether on the job, at home, or in our walk with the Lord. We do good, we feel good - we do bad, we feel bad. But measuring success is really much different in a relationship with Jesus. Paul talks about that as well as how to measure competency to minister. Join Pastor Tom Fuller as he helps apply the Word of God to our everyday lives.

Leaning Against Legalism - 2 Corinthians 3:1-18

How do respond when someone hurts you? Is it with veiled hatred and open contempt?

Join Pastor Tom Fuller from Calvary Chapel Newberg as he brings us verse by verse through God's Word.

Overcoming Anger - 2Corinthians 2:1-17

Often times we think that it's the big things that break apart relationships. But in reality, it is many times little things misunderstood that turn into big splits, both of people and of churches. As we study 2Corinthians 1 today we'll learn the big misunderstanding between the apostle and the Corinthian church and how we can avoid misunderstanding each other. Join Pastor Tom Fuller or Calvary Chapel Newberg as he opens God's Word for us.

Handling Misunderstandings - 2 Corinthians 01:12-24

Why do we go through hard times? Is it because God is not pleased with us? Is it that we just must suffer in order to really be deserving of God's grace? Though the reasons might be many (and those two are not among them), Paul gives us one of the most important reasons why suffering comes into our lives has he prepares the Corinthians to receive some hard advice from their spiritual father.

The Purpose of Suffering 2Corinthians 1:1-11

Often times as a Christian we think that what we do only affects us. In reality the body of Christ is an intertwined unit and who we are and what we do does indeed impact others for good or not. With that in mind, the Apostle Paul gives some parting but very important advice on how to live a maturing life in Christ.

Principals for Giving -- Principals for Living - 1 Corinthians 16:1-24

The resurrection of Jesus Christ is at the very heart of Christianity. If there was no resurrection then there is no Christianity. Period. Want to know why it is so important? Paul's got that answer.

The Resurrection - Part 1 1 Corinthians 15:1-34

When it comes to studying about love, it is easy to feel under the pile because no human can measure up to the standard of love in 1 Corinthians 13 - and that's because it is God's standard. Thanks be to God that he makes us able, as we give our lives, hopes, desires, attitudes, and actions over to His Holy Spirit!
