What's the Point?

April 22, 2022

Ecclesiastes is one of the most practical books in the bible, because it asks a question we all ask from time to time - what’s the point of life? Now, you would think that a man like Solomon, who had everything a person could want, would never ask that question, but he was really lost at this point in his life. 

References: Ecclesiastes 1

The book of Ecclesiastes is attributed to King Solomon, the first of Israel’s wise men. As wise as he was, we can see in the twelve chapters of this book that wisdom didn’t necessarily bring peace to Solomon’s heart. He had many questions about life. In fact, Solomon may have been the first man who suffered a “mid-life crisis”.

Today we’re going to bring you pastor Al Pittman’s Easter message, titled “The Remedy”. The resurrection of Jesus was without question the most significant event in human history. If Jesus had died on the cross and not risen from the dead, then you and I would still be condemned due to our sins. But the truth is He is risen indeed!

Today we’re going to bring you the final half of pastor Al Pittman’s Easter message, titled “The Remedy”. The resurrection of Jesus was without question the most significant event in human history.

Today we’ll bring you part one of pastor Al’s message for Easter. Jesus suffered a painful and humiliating death on a cross. But if the story ended there, where would we be? We’d still be condemned for our sins. But Jesus rose from the dead! Hallelujah to that!

Today we will begin a series for the passion week, by looking at the crucifixion of Jesus. The facts are familiar to all of us. The pain, torture, and humiliation Jesus suffered at the hands of his murderers should remind us all that He allowed it to happen for one reason: He loves us!

The day of the Lord is what we’ll be discussing today as we zero in on chapter five.  Now remember in chapter four, believers have already been raptured, so it’s important to realize where we’re at when all this goes down.
April 12, 2022
Today we  begin First Thessalonians chapter five, and transition from the rapture of the church to the Day of the Lord.  There is a difference, and Al is here to help us understand it all.

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.
