Sustaining Presence

December 17, 2021

If satan can get a Christian; and especially a Christian leader, to be proud, devastation can follow.  To help us reject this tactic of the devil, we join pastor Al in Acts chapter fourteen, and a message titled “Sustaining Presence”.

We’ve been going verse by verse through the book of Acts, and today, we will be finishing chapter thirteen. It was pretty early on in Paul’s evangelical ministry when he realized that the message he was sharing was being rejected by a lot of people. He was telling the people that the gospel message was for everyone - whether you were jewish or gentile.

Pastor Al continues in the book of Acts today, and what he will remind us of is one of the most important truths we find in the bible - when we receive Jesus as savior, we immediately become an enemy of the world. But the cool thing about it is, God knows we will make enemies when we start following Him, and He’ll carry us through the difficult times we’ll surely face.

Acts. One of the many things we learn from studying the life of the Apostle Paul is the way his ministry thrived in the face of the evil that was going on around him.

We’re in Acts thirteen today, for a message pastor Al has titled “Thriving in the Face of Evil”.

About Al Pittman

Al was born in Panama City, Florida in 1955. His father was a career soldier, so the family traveled extensively. In 1973, when Al was seventeen years old, the family returned from a tour in Germany and settled in Colorado Springs. 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. They covet your prayers for their family and ministry as they endeavor to live a life pleasing to the Father.
