Hebrews 4:12-13 “For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are naked and open to the eyes of Him to whom we must give account.” When Pastor Gary Jr. was called to serve at Calvary Chapel Victorville in February 2016, the Lord gave him a vision for the church, "Simply teach God's Word, simply." Pastor Gary has seen in past ministries how fruitful God's Word is in changing people’s lives, and bringing spiritual growth and depth to a ministry. He is committed to teaching through the whole counsel of God. Starting in Genesis, we will continue through the Old Testament on Wednesday Nights. Sunday morning will be used to teach through the New Testament Books verse-by-verse until every book has been taught. We understand this approach is a step of faith in light of what is happening in the church today. We see that there is a great falling away from sound doctrine and people are flocking to churches who scratch itching ears. There truly is a famine in the land, a famine of God’s Word. Please pray for this ministry, pray for the vision, and pray God is glorified as the Holy Spirit works in conjunction with His written Word, to bring glory to the Living Word, Jesus Christ. We want God to be famous here. We do not want to be known for our gimmicks, our show, our entertainment, our pep talks, or our style of worship. We are asking God to change lives through the most powerful weapon He has entrusted to His church, His Word, the Sword of the Spirit.
