Good Seed and Bad

2006-11-15T12:08:00.000-07:00

Anyone who has planted a lawn or a garden deals with them. You plant good seed and weeds grow up alongside. So it is with the kingdom of God--wherever there is good, evil sprouts up as well. But how will God sort it all out? http://calvarytv.org/mp3/daybreak_min/good_seed_and_bad.mp3

True Riches

2006-08-29T09:01:00.000-07:00

"So how much are you worth?" It's not merely a question that one Texas oilman asks another. We should all have a clear knowledge of our wealth. But true riches can't be measured in a bank book... http://calvarytv.org/mp3/daybreak_min/true_riches.mp3

Unforgiven

2006-09-12T08:36:00.000-07:00

What is the greatest gift we can give to another person? The one thing others need from us is so often the hardest thing for us to give: forgiveness. Jesus told the parable of two men--one who forgave and one who didn't. http://calvarytv.org/mp3/daybreak_min/unforgiven.mp3

The Wise Manager

2006-09-06T13:39:00.000-07:00

Mark Twain once remarked that it wasn't what he didn't know about the Bible that concerned him but what he did know. We have all received a certain amount of "light". What are we doing with it? http://calvarytv.org/mp3/daybreak_min/two_managers.mp3

The Rich Fool

2006-08-07T10:50:00.000-07:00

What is it that makes a person truly wealthy? Is it houses, cars, or a fat bank account? The problem with such wealth is that it can be taken away. Last fall we had the privilege of ministering in New Orleans to victims of Hurricane Katrina. Many of them lost everything materially, but they found strength in their relationships with one another and with God. At the end of the day the true measure of wealth is not in what we have but in whom we know. http://calvarytv.org/mp3/daybreak_min/the_rich_fool.mp3

Set Free

2006-08-22T10:22:00.000-07:00

A friend of mine raises cattle; each autumn is calving season. Once I came across the phrase from Malachi 4:2, "You shall go out leaping like calves from the stall." Being a city boy I decided to ask my friend about it. "What's it like when the calves come out of the stall?"

"O, you've never seen anything like it," he replied. "They are just so happy to be alive!"

That's how it is when you have the shackles of sin and guilt removed. There is nothing more joyful and alive than knowing you've been set free! http://calvarytv.org/mp3/daybreak_min/set_free.mp3

Prayer Changes Me

2006-08-16T09:38:00.000-07:00

Statistically, over half of Americans pray at least once a day. What are our reasons for praying? They are as varied as the needs we have. But God's purpose for prayer may be different from our own... http://calvarytv.org/mp3/daybreak_min/prayer_changes_me.mp3

The Lowly Plea

2006-08-15T11:12:00.000-07:00

Does God really answer prayer? If so, then why are some prayers answered while others are not? It may not have so much to do with what we are asking for but how we are asking. While some think that God helps those who help themselves, the truth is that God helps those who can't help themselves and who humbly call upon God to help them. http://calvarytv.org/mp3/daybreak_min/the_lowly_plea.mp3

Seed and Soil

2006-08-11T08:55:00.000-07:00

God's word has been described as a seed that enters the heart. But as with any seed, its success depends upon the condition of the soil. What does it find in your heart? http://calvarytv.org/mp3/daybreak_min/the_soils.mp3

New Wine, New Skins

2006-08-08T10:09:00.000-07:00

Do you like new things? So does God. In fact the day is coming when He will make all things new. In the meantime, His mercies are new every morning. There is also a new work He seeks to do in our lives. Will we recognize it when it comes? http://calvarytv.org/mp3/daybreak_min/new_wine_new_skins.mp3

International Harvester

2006-08-03T20:57:00.000-07:00

Driving through Northern California in the Redwood National Park it made me wonder how such magnificent trees could grow from a single seed. But it is no less miraculous how the tiny seed of God's word can find its way into the heart and grow to fill the entire life, bringing forth a harvest of blessings. http://calvarytv.org/mp3/daybreak_min/international_harvester.mp3

The Fruitless Tree

2006-08-01T22:03:00.000-07:00

I have a pear tree in my backyard. For four years now I've fertilized, watered and pruned it, but each year the small branches curl and turn black. The man at the nursery told me it was fire blight and gave me some spray to treat it. But even after treating it the fire blight returned. Now I have only one pear, and I am ready to uproot the tree and replace it with something else.

Did you know that God is looking for fruit from you? The fruit He seeks is love for Him and for others. What does He find in you? http://calvarytv.org/mp3/daybreak_min/the_fruitless_tree.mp3

Forgiven Much

2006-08-01T04:42:00.000-07:00

A man of the cloth and a woman with a notrious reputation both met the Master. Which one had the greatest sin? Which one did the Master forgive? http://calvarytv.org/mp3/daybreak_min/forgiven_much.mp3

Don't Give Up

2006-07-31T09:47:00.000-07:00

Are your prayers answered? For those who have been adopted into the family of God through faith in Jesus Christ, prayer is as natural as a child asking her father for food. But sometimes our prayers require persistence before they are answered. http://calvarytv.org/mp3/daybreak_min/dont_give_up.mp3

Ultimate Treasure

2006-07-27T09:25:00.000-07:00

Have you ever wanted something so much that you would give up everything to get it? If you obtained it would you be satisfied? The measure of the treasure is how much it costs and how much it pleases. The Son of Man gave up everything to purchase you. http://calvarytv.org/mp3/daybreak_min/ultimate_treasure.mp3

Sure Foundation

2006-07-25T21:47:00.000-07:00

If devastation struck would the foundation of your life be enough to hold it up? Or would everything come crashing down? http://calvarytv.org/mp3/daybreak_min/sure_foundation.mp3

Freeedom

2006-07-24T21:33:00.000-07:00

In the United States we are blessed to live in a free country. Have you ever thought what it would be like to live under a cruel dictator? You may be already living in that state without knowing it. http://calvarytv.org/mp3/daybreak_min/freedom.mp3

In Search Of...

2006-07-23T21:00:00.000-07:00

Many are searching for meaning and acceptance, but did you know that someone is searching for you? http://calvarytv.org/mp3/daybreak_min/in_search_of.mp3
