In this timely prophecy update, Pastor Harley turns to Ezekiel 38–39 and unpacks the coming Gog-Magog invasion, a massive northern coalition that Scripture says will rise against Israel in the last days. After reminding the church that Israel’s rebirth (Ezekiel 37) is already fulfilled in our lifetime, he explains that this next stage involves specific nations aligning—Russia (Rosh), Persia (modern Iran), Turkey, Libya, Ethiopia, and others—forming a confederacy that was not in place a century ago but is increasingly visible today. The invasion comes at a time when Israel feels secure, dwelling “without walls,” and while other nations merely question the aggression, God Himself intervenes decisively.Pastor Harley distinguishes this battle from Armageddon, showing how Bible prophecy unfolds in stages and emphasizing that nearly 30% of Scripture is prophetic—given so believers can trust God’s Word and stay spiritually alert. As global alliances shift, technologies advance, and moral decay mirrors “the days of Noah and Lot,” he warns against distraction and spiritual complacency. Jesus’ exhortation in Luke 21 rings clearly: don’t be weighed down by the cares of this life, but watch and pray. The message closes at the communion table—a reminder that before judgment comes redemption, and before prophecy culminates in Christ’s return, believers are called to remain ready, rooted in the gospel, and anchored in the finished work of the cross.

In this powerful teaching, Pastor Harley Doneburg explores Bible prophecy, the signs of the last days, and the miraculous restoration of Israel as foretold in Scripture. Using passages from Matthew 24, Ezekiel, Isaiah, and Genesis, Pastor Harley reveals God’s plan from the very beginning and highlights how Israel’s regathering signals the fulfillment of God’s promises.Learn how the Bible provides insight into current events, the tribulation, and God’s faithfulness to His people. This message challenges believers to remain watchful, grounded in God’s Word, and ready for Christ’s return.Key Topics Covered: - The biblical signs of the last days - Israel’s restoration and regathering as a nation - Prophecies in Matthew 24, Ezekiel 37, and Genesis 12 - Spiritual alertness, endurance, and faithfulness in challenging times - Understanding God’s plan and the role of the Church 📖 Scriptures referenced: - Matthew 24 - Ezekiel 37 - Genesis 12 - Isaiah 27 - Romans - Daniel 9 - Revelation 6–19

In this message, we continue our study of Bible prophecy by focusing on Jesus’ warnings about deception, apostasy, and the importance of being spiritually ready in the last days. Scripture tells us that many will fall away, grow cold, or be led astray, and Jesus repeatedly calls His followers to watchfulness and endurance.Through passages in Matthew 24, 1 and 2 Timothy, Thessalonians, and Revelation, we examine the signs of spiritual decline, the dangers of compromise, and the growing deception within the world and even the church. This teaching reminds us that the call of the last days is not fear, but faithfulness.Bible prophecy is not given to satisfy curiosity, but to prepare the believer to live alert, grounded in truth, and committed to Christ. As we look at what Scripture says about the days ahead, we are challenged to remain steadfast, guard the faith, and stay ready for the Lord’s return.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Check out the Calvary Perry StoreWatch the livestreams HERE-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Connect with usCalvary Perry:All LinksPastor Harley Doneburg:FaceBookInstagramWebsitePastor Justin Perry:FacebookWebsite-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------If you need prayer 🙏, please let us know in the comments below.Or reach the church office at:- Telephone: (585) 237-2720- Email: [email protected] Website-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Managed by MJ Productions - Podcast Studio

In this message, Pastor Harley Doneburg continues a temporary pause in the church’s study through the book of Acts, marking the third consecutive week focused on a topical teaching centered on Bible prophecy and the last days. Rooted primarily in Matthew chapter 24, with supporting passages from Daniel and Revelation, this teaching explores why Jesus emphasized the signs of His return and what they mean for believers today.As the disciples asked Jesus about the destruction of the temple, the sign of His coming, and the end of the age, Pastor Harley explains how Jesus responded with clarity rather than speculation—warning of deception, wars, famine, pestilence, earthquakes, and persecution, which He described as the “beginning of sorrows.” These signs are not meant to create fear, but to produce spiritual alertness and readiness.This study highlights the prophetic role of Israel in God’s redemptive plan, affirming that God is not finished with the nation and that Israel’s modern regathering stands as a major indicator of the times in which we live. By connecting Daniel’s prophecies with the seal judgments of Revelation, Pastor Harley shows how Scripture consistently points toward a coming tribulation period and the rise of a global deceiver known as the Antichrist.The message also addresses the growing danger of spiritual deception in the last days, reminding the church that many will abandon truth in favor of false gospels and counterfeit hope. Rather than distracting believers, Bible prophecy is presented as a vital tool for discernment, endurance, and faithfulness in an increasingly hostile world.This teaching ultimately calls the church to look up, stay grounded in God’s Word, and live with urgency and hope—remembering that Jesus is coming back and that understanding the times helps believers remain focused on God’s kingdom above all else.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------For more teachings from Calvary Chapel Perry with Pastor Harley Doneburg, subscribe to our channel and follow along as we journey verse-by-verse through the Book of Acts.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In this Christmas message from Calvary Chapel Perry, Pastor Harley Doneburg guides us through the humble and extraordinary story of Jesus’ birth. Christmas is far more than tradition, decorations, or celebration—it is the arrival of the Savior, the eternal Word made flesh, who came to seek and save the lost. While the season can be busy, stressful, or lonely, Pastor Harley points us to the true gift of Christmas: Jesus Christ, who offers salvation, forgiveness, and hope.Beginning with Luke 2, Pastor Harley paints a vivid picture of Mary and Joseph’s journey to Bethlehem—Mary, nine months pregnant, riding on a donkey, and giving birth in a crowded stable. He reminds us of the humility of Christ’s birth, the simplicity of the manger, and the ordinary shepherds who first heard the angelic announcement. Through this narrative, we see God’s incredible love: the King of the universe arriving not in luxury, but in reach of everyone, especially the lowly and marginalized.Pastor Harley then highlights the mission of Jesus: He came not to condemn, but to save. Drawing from John 3 and Luke, we are reminded that Jesus’ birth points to His ultimate purpose—to take on our sin, to bring peace with God, and to invite all who are lost into a restored relationship with the Father. This teaching calls each of us to recognize our need, to receive Jesus personally, and to rest in the gift of His grace rather than our own efforts.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Check out the Calvary Perry StoreWatch the livestreams HERE-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Connect with usCalvary Perry:All LinksPastor Harley Doneburg:FaceBookInstagramWebsitePastor Justin Perry:FacebookWebsite-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------If you need prayer 🙏, please let us know in the comments below.Or reach the church office at:- Telephone: (585) 237-2720- Email: [email protected] Website-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Managed by MJ Productions - Podcast Studio

In this Christmas message from Calvary Chapel Perry, Pastor Harley Doneburg reminds us that Christmas is about far more than tradition, gifts, or celebration—it is about the greatest gift ever given: life through Jesus Christ and the forgiveness of sins. While Christmas is meant to be a season of joy, it is often a time of anxiety, loneliness, and emptiness for many. Pastor Harley points us back to the true meaning of Christmas and the hope found only in Christ.Beginning in Luke chapter 2, Pastor Harley walks through the familiar Christmas story, highlighting the humility of Jesus’ birth and the announcement of His coming to ordinary shepherds. He then turns to John chapter 1, reminding us that Christmas did not begin in Bethlehem, but in eternity past. Jesus is the eternal Word who became flesh, dwelt among us, and came on a rescue mission to save sinners and reveal the heart of the Father.This message emphasizes that Jesus did not come merely to offer religion, but relationship. He came to seek and to save the lost, to forgive sin, and to make us children of God through faith. Pastor Harley explains that believing in Jesus means placing our full trust in Him, receiving Him as a gift, and resting in His finished work rather than our own efforts.Through passages from Isaiah, Luke, and John, we are reminded that Jesus is Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, and Prince of Peace. He is also the friend of sinners who meets people in their brokenness and invites them into new life.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Check out the Calvary Perry StoreWatch the livestreams HERE-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Connect with usCalvary Perry:All LinksPastor Harley Doneburg:FaceBookInstagramWebsitePastor Justin Perry:FacebookWebsite-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------If you need prayer 🙏, please let us know in the comments below.Or reach the church office at:- Telephone: (585) 237-2720- Email: [email protected] Website-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Managed by MJ Productions - Podcast Studio

In this teaching from Acts chapter 15, Pastor Harley Doneburg walks through one of the most critical moments in church history—the Jerusalem Council—and addresses a question that still matters today: is salvation found through grace alone, or must something be added to it? As the gospel spreads to the Gentile world, tension arises when some believers insist that faith in Jesus must be accompanied by obedience to the law of Moses.Pastor Harley explains how the apostles and elders come together to seek God’s will, listening to the testimony of Peter, Paul, and Barnabas, and ultimately James, the leader of the Jerusalem church. Through Scripture and firsthand evidence of God’s work among the Gentiles, the church confirms a foundational truth: hearts are purified by faith, not by works, tradition, or religious effort.This passage exposes the danger of legalism and reminds us that the law was never meant to save, but to lead us to Christ. Pastor Harley emphasizes that God desires a relationship, not rule-keeping, and that the Holy Spirit now lives within believers, empowering real transformation from the inside out. Salvation is not Jesus plus anything—it is grace alone, received by faith alone.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------For more teachings from Calvary Chapel Perry with Pastor Harley Doneburg, subscribe to our channel and follow along as we journey verse-by-verse through the Book of Acts.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Check out the Calvary Perry StoreWatch the livestreams HERE-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Connect with usCalvary Perry:All LinksPastor Harley Doneburg:FaceBookInstagramWebsitePastor Justin Perry:FacebookWebsite-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------If you need prayer 🙏, please let us know in the comments below.Or reach the church office at:- Telephone: (585) 237-2720- Email: [email protected] Website-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Managed by MJ Productions - Podcast Studio

In this teaching from Acts chapter 15, Pastor Harley Doneburg addresses one of the most important questions the early church ever faced: how is a person truly saved? As Paul and Barnabas return from their first missionary journey, a serious controversy arises when some believers insist that Gentile Christians must keep the law of Moses in order to be saved. What follows is a pivotal moment in church history that clarifies the gospel once and for all.Pastor Harley walks through the Jerusalem Council, where the apostles and elders gather to examine whether salvation comes through works or through grace. Peter reminds the church that God made no distinction between Jew and Gentile, purifying hearts by faith alone. The message makes clear that adding anything to the finished work of Jesus Christ places an unbearable burden on believers and undermines the power of the cross.This passage highlights the danger of legalism and the freedom found in the grace of God. While the law reveals God’s holiness, it also exposes humanity’s inability to measure up, pointing us to our need for a Savior. Pastor Harley emphasizes that salvation is not achieved through religious effort, tradition, or behavior, but through faith in Jesus Christ alone.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------For more teachings from Calvary Chapel Perry with Pastor Harley Doneburg, subscribe to our channel and follow along as we journey verse-by-verse through the Book of Acts.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Check out the Calvary Perry StoreWatch the livestreams HERE-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Connect with usCalvary Perry:All LinksPastor Harley Doneburg:FaceBookInstagramWebsitePastor Justin Perry:FacebookWebsite-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------If you need prayer 🙏, please let us know in the comments below.Or reach the church office at:- Telephone: (585) 237-2720- Email: [email protected] Website-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Managed by MJ Productions - Podcast Studio

In this message from Acts chapter 14, Pastor Harley Doneburg walks through the closing section of Paul and Barnabas’ first missionary journey, beginning in verse 19. After Paul is brutally stoned in Lystra and left for dead, we see the powerful reality of Christian perseverance, discipleship, and faithfulness in the midst of suffering. Rather than quitting, Paul rises, continues preaching the gospel, and strengthens the believers he helped establish.This passage highlights an essential truth for every believer: following Christ does not exempt us from hardship. Paul exhorts the church to continue in the faith, reminding them that we must enter the kingdom of God through many tribulations. Pastor Harley emphasizes that trials, opposition, and suffering are not signs of failure, but often evidence that God is at work, shaping and maturing His people.The message also focuses on the importance of discipleship and community. Paul and Barnabas return to the churches they planted to strengthen souls, appoint elders, pray with fasting, and commend the believers to the Lord. Through this, we are reminded that ministry is not only about preaching the gospel, but about walking with people, caring for them, and helping them grow in their faith through the Word of God.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------For more teachings from Calvary Chapel Perry with Pastor Harley Doneburg, subscribe to our channel and follow along as we journey verse-by-verse through the Book of Acts.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Check out the Calvary Perry StoreWatch the livestreams HERE-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Connect with usCalvary Perry:All LinksPastor Harley Doneburg:FaceBookInstagramWebsitePastor Justin Perry:FacebookWebsite-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------If you need prayer 🙏, please let us know in the comments below.Or reach the church office at:- Telephone: (585) 237-2720- Email: [email protected] Website-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Managed by MJ Productions - Podcast Studio

In Acts 14:1–20, Paul and Barnabas continue their missionary journey into Iconium, boldly preaching the gospel despite growing resistance. As Pastor Harley Doneburg teaches, the Word of God brings both belief and opposition. Many respond with faith, while others stir up division—yet the apostles remain steadfast, relying on the Lord who confirms their message with signs and wonders.When the hostility intensifies, Paul and Barnabas flee to Lystra and Derbe, where God works powerfully once again as a man crippled from birth is miraculously healed. What begins with celebration quickly turns to persecution, revealing how quickly crowds can shift and how deeply the gospel confronts the human heart.Through this passage, Pastor Harley reminds us that following Christ doesn’t guarantee an easy path, but it does guarantee God’s presence and purpose. The courage of Paul and Barnabas challenges us to stand firm, trust the Lord’s leading, and continue sharing the hope of Christ even when opposition arises.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------For more teachings from Calvary Chapel Perry with Pastor Harley Doneburg, subscribe to our channel and follow along as we journey verse-by-verse through the Book of Acts.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Check out the Calvary Perry StoreWatch the livestreams HERE-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Connect with usCalvary Perry:All LinksPastor Harley Doneburg:FaceBookInstagramWebsitePastor Justin Perry:FacebookWebsite-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------If you need prayer 🙏, please let us know in the comments below.Or reach the church office at:- Telephone: (585) 237-2720- Email: [email protected] Website-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Managed by MJ Productions - Podcast Studio

In this message from Pastor Harley Doneburg, we continue through Acts 13 and listen in on Paul’s first recorded sermon—one filled with conviction, history, warning, and the overwhelming grace of God. Pastor Harley begins by reminding us of the greatest gift ever given: that God sent His own Son, fully aware of every flaw, sin, and hidden struggle in our lives. Jesus came willingly, knowing exactly who we are, and still chose the cross so we might receive forgiveness and eternal life.As Pastor Harley unfolds Paul’s sermon, we see Paul meeting the Jews and Gentile converts on familiar ground, walking them through their own history, much like Stephen once did. He traces Israel’s story from David to the coming of their long-promised Messiah, Jesus Christ. Yet Paul’s message is not merely historical—it is deeply personal. He declares that through Jesus, we receive forgiveness and justification, something the law of Moses could never accomplish.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------For more teachings from Calvary Chapel Perry with Pastor Harley Doneburg, subscribe to our channel and follow along as we journey verse-by-verse through the Book of Acts.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Check out the Calvary Perry StoreWatch the livestreams HERE-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Connect with usCalvary Perry:All LinksPastor Harley Doneburg:FaceBookInstagramWebsitePastor Justin Perry:FacebookWebsite-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------If you need prayer 🙏, please let us know in the comments below.Or reach the church office at:- Telephone: (585) 237-2720- Email: [email protected] Website-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Managed by MJ Productions - Podcast Studio

In this teaching from Acts 13:24–35, Pastor Harley Doneburg takes us into Paul’s powerful sermon in the synagogue at Antioch in Pisidia. As Paul stands before both Jews and Gentile God-fearers, he walks them through the story of Israel—from the calling of Abraham to the rise of David—showing how every step of their history points directly to Jesus Christ, the promised Savior.Through this passage, we see Paul proclaim the heart of the gospel: that Jesus was rejected, crucified, buried, and raised from the dead in fulfillment of the Scriptures. Paul makes it clear that forgiveness of sins and justification—something the law of Moses could never accomplish—comes only through faith in Christ.Pastor Harley highlights how Paul’s message confronts every listener with a choice. Some heard with open hearts, while others resisted the truth. The same is true today. God extends salvation freely, but each person must decide whether to believe, respond, and continue in His grace.This message calls us to look honestly at our own lives, to recognize our need for forgiveness, and to trust fully in the finished work of Jesus. It also reminds us that the Old Testament story is not separate from the gospel—it was always pointing to Christ. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------For more teachings from Calvary Chapel Perry with Pastor Harley Doneburg, subscribe to our channel and follow along as we journey verse-by-verse through the Book of Acts.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Check out the Calvary Perry StoreWatch the livestreams HERE--------------------------------------------------------------------Connect with usCalvary Perry:All LinksPastor Harley Doneburg:FaceBookInstagramWebsitePastor Justin Perry:FacebookWebsite--------------------------------------------------------------------If you need prayer 🙏, please let us know in the comments below.Or reach the church office at:- Telephone: (585) 237-2720- Email: [email protected] Website--------------------------------------------------------------------Managed by MJ Productions - Podcast Studio

Welcome to Calvary Chapel of Perry. In today’s message, Pastor Harley Doneburg continues our journey through the Book of Acts as Paul and his companions press into the regions of Galatia on their first missionary journey. Teaching from Acts 13:13–23, Pastor Harley highlights Paul’s practice of entering the synagogue, finding common ground, and faithfully preaching the Word of God. He emphasizes the power and necessity of Scripture, reminding us that God’s Word is living, active, and always accomplishes His purposes—even when its impact is not immediately visible. Through Paul’s retelling of Israel’s history, we are shown God’s patience toward His people, His faithfulness through every generation, and His ultimate fulfillment of promise in raising up Jesus, the Messiah.Pastor Harley also explores the importance of obedience to God’s Word, examining the lives of key figures such as Saul, Samuel, David, and Joshua. Their stories reveal both the blessings of following God wholeheartedly and the dangers of partial obedience or drifting away from His commands. The message reminds us that God is long-suffering, gracious, and patient, yet He calls His people to walk in faithfulness, courage, and devotion to His Word. Just as Paul used every opportunity and every environment as a mission field, Pastor Harley encourages us to recognize our own mission field—whether at home, work, or in everyday relationships—and to be ready to share the hope we’ve been given.May this teaching stir your heart to remain anchored in Scripture, attentive to the Holy Spirit, and committed to living out the truth of God’s Word with boldness and integrity.--------------------------------------------------------------------Check out the Calvary Perry StoreWatch the livestreams HERE--------------------------------------------------------------------Connect with usCalvary Perry:All LinksPastor Harley Doneburg:FaceBookInstagramWebsitePastor Justin Perry:FacebookWebsite--------------------------------------------------------------------If you need prayer 🙏, please let us know in the comments below.Or reach the church office at:- Telephone: (585) 237-2720- Email: [email protected] Website--------------------------------------------------------------------Managed by MJ Productions - Podcast Studio

In Acts 13, we witness a pivotal turning point in church history — the moment when the gospel begins to move beyond the borders of Israel and into the Gentile world. The church in Antioch becomes a sending church, a community deeply rooted in worship, fasting, and prayer. It’s here that the Holy Spirit speaks, setting apart Paul and Barnabas for the first missionary journey — a moment that would forever shape the direction of the early church.In this message, Pastor Harley Doneburg unpacks the heart and power of this passage, showing us that God still calls His people today to live with the same sensitivity, faith, and obedience to the Holy Spirit. The mission of the church didn’t end in Acts — it continues through us. When God’s people are filled with His Spirit, they are sent with His power, and their lives bear fruit for His kingdom. --------------------------------------------------------------------Main Scripture: Acts 13 Supporting Passages: Matthew 28:18–20, Romans 10:14–15, Acts 1:8 --------------------------------------------------------------------Key Themes: The calling and sending of Paul and Barnabas, the leading of the Holy Spirit, the faithfulness of the Church in Antioch, and the unstoppable power of God’s Word. --------------------------------------------------------------------Key Takeaway: The same Spirit that moved in the early church is still at work today.

In this week’s message from Calvary Chapel Perry, Pastor Harley Doneburg continues our journey through the Book of Acts, picking up in chapter 12 where persecution intensifies under King Herod. As James is martyred and Peter is miraculously freed from prison, we’re faced with a powerful question: Why does God allow suffering for some, while delivering others?Through this passage, Pastor Harley reminds us of God’s sovereignty, the mystery of His will, and the power of prayer—even when we don’t understand the outcome. He takes us through key moments in Acts, John, and Philippians to show how God uses both trials and triumphs to grow our faith, deepen our trust, and draw us closer to Him.If you’ve ever wrestled with questions like “Why me?” or “Where is God in this?”, this message will encourage you to hold fast to God’s promises, trust His timing, and remember that His ways are higher than ours.--------------------------------------------------------------------Check out the Calvary Perry StoreWatch the livestreams HERE--------------------------------------------------------------------Connect with usCalvary Perry:All LinksPastor Harley Doneburg:FaceBookInstagramWebsitePastor Justin Perry:FacebookWebsite--------------------------------------------------------------------If you need prayer 🙏, please let us know in the comments below.Or reach the church office at:- Telephone: (585) 237-2720- Email: [email protected] Website--------------------------------------------------------------------Managed by MJ Productions - Podcast Studio

Join us at Calvary Chapel of Perry for this Sunday’s inspiring message with Pastor Justin Perry. In Judges 7, we study the story of Gideon and his 300 men, a powerful example of how God’s power works through weakness and obedience. Despite being outnumbered, Gideon’s small army experienced a miraculous victory because they trusted God, followed His instructions, and acted in faith.This message teaches us that God doesn’t depend on our strength, numbers, or ability — He wants our hearts fully surrendered to Him. Like Gideon, we can experience victory in life when we obey God’s Word, step out in faith, and trust His plan. Whether you’re facing fear, doubt, or challenges, this sermon will encourage you to rely on God’s power, not your own, and to walk confidently in His calling.--------------------------------------------------------------------Check out the Calvary Perry StoreWatch the livestreams HERE--------------------------------------------------------------------Connect with usCalvary Perry:All LinksPastor Harley Doneburg:FaceBookInstagramWebsitePastor Justin Perry:FacebookWebsite--------------------------------------------------------------------If you need prayer 🙏, please let us know in the comments below.Or reach the church office at:- Telephone: 585-237-2070- Email: [email protected] Website--------------------------------------------------------------------Managed by MJ Productions - Podcast Studio

In this teaching from Acts 11, we see how God used persecution to spread the gospel beyond Jerusalem and into the Gentile world. The scattering after Stephen’s stoning led believers to Antioch, a pagan and sinful city, where the gospel took root and a thriving church was born. This is where believers were first called Christians.Through the ministry of ordinary men, along with Barnabas and Saul, God shows us that He desires to use ordinary lives for His extraordinary purposes. Persecution, trials, and challenges cannot stop the work of God; in fact, they often become the very means through which the gospel advances. We are reminded that God wants to use us, regardless of our past or shortcomings, and that we must purpose in our hearts to continue with the Lord.The main scripture reading for this message is Acts 11:19–30, with supporting references from Acts 6–7, Matthew 5:10–12, and 2 Timothy 3:10–17. The focus of the teaching includes the spread of the gospel through persecution, God’s use of ordinary people to build His church, the birth of the church in Antioch, the first use of the name “Christian,” the encouragement of Barnabas, the reality of persecution, and the call to remain steadfast with the Lord.The key takeaway is that God uses what the enemy means for harm to accomplish His purposes. He is looking for people who are full of the Spirit and faith, who will continue with Him no matter the trials.--------------------------------------------------------------------Check out the Calvary Perry StoreWatch the livestreams HERE--------------------------------------------------------------------Connect with usCalvary Perry:All LinksPastor Harley Doneburg:FaceBookInstagramWebsitePastor Justin Perry:FacebookWebsite--------------------------------------------------------------------If you need prayer 🙏, please let us know in the comments below.Or reach the church office at:- Telephone: (585) 237-2720- Email: [email protected] Website--------------------------------------------------------------------Managed by MJ Productions - Podcast Studio

Join us at Calvary Chapel Perry as Pastor Harley Doneburg teaches from Acts 11 on the powerful truth that God’s love extends beyond Israel to all people. In this message, Peter defends God’s work among the Gentiles and shows that the gospel is for whosoever believes.The early church struggled with centuries of tradition, but God revealed His heart—that no one is excluded from His invitation. The same is true today. The church is not a place of judgment but a hospital for the broken, where God offers healing, forgiveness, and eternal life through Jesus Christ.If you feel weighed down, thirsty, or searching for something more, hear Jesus’ invitation: “Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.”--------------------------------------------------------------------Check out the Calvary Perry StoreWatch the livestreams HERE--------------------------------------------------------------------Connect with usCalvary Perry:All LinksPastor Harley Doneburg:FaceBookInstagramWebsitePastor Justin Perry:FacebookWebsite--------------------------------------------------------------------If you need prayer 🙏, please let us know in the comments below.Or reach the church office at:- Telephone: (585) 237-2720- Email: [email protected] Website--------------------------------------------------------------------Managed by MJ Productions - Podcast Studio
