Good evening. And on behalf of Pastor J.D. Farrag, we'd like to welcome you here to Calvary

Chapel, Connie Owe, a live stream service. On this Thursday night, where we're normally in the Old Testament

conducting our line-by-line teaching, but tonight we will have a topical study. But before we get into

the Word of God, please join me in bow our hearts for a word of prayer.

Loving Heavenly Father, oh how we need you. And Lord, if I could be so selfish, I need you.

Right now, the power of your Holy Spirit in order to speak and teach your Word of truth.

So I ask humbly that you would meet us here

and go before me now in the strength and power of your might so that your word may be

preached and teach and taught. So we all can hear all of us and learn what you have to say.

So Lord, thank you for that what you're about to do.

We love you and we indeed praise you.

In the mighty name of Yeshua, Jesus, the Christ we pray.

Amen.

So for tonight, our study is titled to believe.

And with that one word, believe comes the most powerful command from God for the will of man.

Believe. It's the one word that either places us into

eternal life or eternal damnation. Believe. To me, we have a lot of signs that we could look within ourselves to see if we

really believe or not. And it takes one to no one. I remember those days walking around. I

believe, I believe in Christianity, but not so much Jesus. And it was evident.

You know why? There was no excitement. Jesus is coming. My response was Jesus is coming.

Yay. That was my experience until I really believed in the Lord. I think

the Lord for that eye-opening experience by the power of His Holy Spirit. And you know, many people behind the pulpit also say they believe and don't.
