We’ll be continuing our series through Colossians today, as we begin our final study in chapter one.  Ever asked to do something that was a stretching experience for you, that called you to go out of your comfort zone? Well, sometimes our call to ministry will lead us beyond our comfort zone too, and that’s a good thing as we’ll soon see.

Today, pastor Al Pittman will be discussing the nature of salvation, and how to know whether you are an authentic Christian, or just faking it. There are certainly a lot of people around who claim to be a Christian, but their lifestyle says otherwise.

Today, pastor Al Pittman returns to his study of Colossians, and has us consider a situation most of us have faced at one time or another - feeling like our faith in Christ is not what it used to be. That special experience of being born again is something we never forget, but as we move along in life, sometimes that excitement kid of dwindles. Pastor Al is going to urge us today to continue in our faith, and he’ll use the words of Paul in Colossians chapter one to tell us how we can do that.

We’re told in scripture that Jesus is the creator of heaven and earth.  So, then what should we do if He really is the God of creation?  Al Pittman will pursue that question today on The Dwelling Place. We aim to cover verses fifteen through eighteen of Colossians chapter one today.

Today pastor Al begins a study centered on the most important question every human being must answer - who is Jesus Christ to you?  It was nearly 2,000 years ago that God came to earth in human flesh, but what does that mean for you and me today?  We’ll seek to answer those question as we turn in our Bibles to Colossians chapter one. We’ll be concentrating over the next two broadcasts on verses fifteen through eighteen.

What happens when the initial euphoria of becoming a Christian wears away and we face the ups and downs of everyday life? That’s what we’ll talk about today on The Dwelling Place. with Al Pittman.  Our scripture reference is Colossians chapter one. Paul wrote this letter to a church that had fallen victim to false teaching. The same false teaching that’s going on today.

Pastor Al Pittman  begins a study through  the book of Colossians today.  God has a marvelous plan to save mankind, and He chooses to use vessels like you and me to accomplish this. What a privilege that is!  Pastor Al will encourage us to be used of God and help spread the gospel.  Our reference point is Colossians 1 and verses one through fourteen.

After several months of study in this glorious book of Romans, we finish it all up today.  And talk about finishing on a high note... it couldn’t get any higher than the glory of God.  In the closing verses we find a wonderful doxology that spotlights God’s wisdom and glory.  And through it all, Al will ask us, “Is the glory of God the theme of our lives?”

We’re on the final leg of our journey through Romans, as we’ve reached the sixteenth and final chapter of the book. Paul mentions thirty three people by name in the chapter.  Most of them we know very little about. Paul’s love for people comes shining through in this passage.  It really speaks volumes about how the church today should be one large and loving family.

Today on The Dwelling Place, we’ll examine the best way to communicate with God the Father, through our representative, Jesus Christ. Pastor Al Pittman is currently sharing a series in the awesome book of Romans and today we again look at chapter fifteen, and how we display our faith in God through prayer. Prayer is a wonderful gift from God - if we actually use it!    
March 15, 2019
When you break prayer down to it’s bare essence, what we’re doing is talking with God. But as with so many other parts of our relationship with God, there is a right way and a wrong way to pray. Do you know the difference? Too many people have the wrong motivation when they pray. Should we be trying to bet God too see things our way..... or should it be the other way around? Our scripture reference is Romans chapter fifteen.

About Al Pittman

Al was born in Panama City, Florida in 1955. His father was a career soldier, so the family traveled extensively.

Soon after, Al realized God’s call on  his life and began serving in the music ministry as a bass guitarist with a Christian band  called, “The Rays of Light.” It was during this time that Al met Norma, and they were married on July 19, 1975. 

Al attended Nazarene Bible College in Colorado Springs, graduating in 1977 with a degree in Biblical Studies. In 1991 Al and his family moved to Albuquerque, New Mexico, and two years later he joined the staff of Calvary Chapel Albuquerque as an assistant pastor and co-worship leader. In the spring of 1997 the Lord called Al and his family back to Colorado Springs to pastor Calvary Worship Center. In 2006, Al earned his Master’s degree and in 2012 he earned his Doctorate degree in Ministry from Trinity Southwest University in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Al and Norma are the proud parents of three children, Renee, Nathan and Reggie, as well as proud grandparents.
