Well Done Good and Faithful Servant


I’m sure you have all heard of the passing of Billy Graham from this life into glory. Today he experienced in the fullest sense the power of His preaching, personally. His life has left us so much to emulate and to pray for. His preaching and its impact is unsurpassed and his integrity is unchallenged. Think about that last point. Considering the length of his ministry and the targeting of the adversary it’s nothing short of a miracle. You may not know this, but in 1948 during a series of evangelistic meetings in Modesto he along with Cliff Barrows, George Beverly Shea and Grady Wilson made the Modesto Manifesto laying out the principles of integrity that they were committing themselves to. I have added the link below for you to read the story. Plus I encourage you to watch some of the messages he preached, the links are added below as well.

While Billy Graham’s ministry was unique, we can ask God to do some similar things in our lives and in our churches. Let’s pray for an unsurpassed love for the gospel of Jesus Christ, a deep and genuine burden for lost souls, a lifelong commitment to Biblical integrity, and above all for God’s glory to magnified in the greatest way possible through our lives.

May God pour out His Holy Spirit in our lives for a mighty harvest of souls for His glory ALONE.

Monday Morning Staff Devo's




Hey Fam,

Today in our staff devotions, we were blessed to hear from our IT Administrator, Tony Perez. Tony is a close friend of mine and an awesome brother in Christ. His favorite things to do include worshipping the Lord, programming websites and roasting me for being 8 months older than him. Tony is a blessing to this ministry and I know he’ll be a blessing to you. Enjoy his teaching on Nahum 1!


Monday Staff Devos by Tony Perez 
Nahum 1

Nahum is kind of that book that doesn’t get too much attention and we seem to really only read it when we’re on a Bible reading plan but I’m glad God stopped me in this little book and encouraged me, so I hope it’ll encourage you too.

Three Hindrances That Need To Be Stripped From My Life



A few years back I had this great idea of restoring a 1972 Chevy Blazer 4X4. I loved that specific year, great body lines, removable top, and it looks great with a 6" lift kit. A good friend in the restoration business started the search and called me a few days later with what he said was the perfect truck to restore. What I got in my garage was affectionately nicknamed by my kids "Mater" after the rusted-out bucket of bolts tow truck from the Disney movie Cars.

My Testimony


There are a lot of people who come to Calvary Chapel Las Vegas and assume I’ve been a Christian my whole life, mostly because I’m a pastor.  That certainly is not the case. Although, I was raised in a family where there was a consideration for God I began to experiment with drugs and alcohol in middle school. This became a lifestyle. In fact, when I moved into my dorm at UC Irvine, I had the fridge stocked with beer and the walls of my dorm room plastered with beer posters. When John, my new roommate, came in he took a poster and put it on the one open spot left, right over my bed. The poster was a picture of waves crashing against the rocks quoting John 3:3, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” My thought was that if there were gods they must be against me! I couldn’t believe my roommate was a born again Christian.
