5 /5 david sterling: For over 4 years, I attended the two main large Christian churches in orange county at separate times,...... including their bible studies during the week day. I did get some spiritual awakening, but I never felt spiritually fed in the way that I wanted. It seemed like each six months, the same information started over. There was no "meat" to review and ponder to make me want to be better, and say, "ahhh yes", that sermon fits me to a tee, I want to be better. I was really looking for a much stronger relationship with the Lords word, and I wasnt getting it.
At the time, an acquaintance said "Im going to a mens prayer breakfast, would you like to attend?". Sure I said. I liked the sermon at breakfast, because it was chapter and verse right from the bible. So I attended again on Sunday morning.
I liked the size and shape of the church hall. And the information in the sermon,..... well, there was so much information that I was overwhelmed to be honest. WOW, this was cool! Paster Marks message was not only feeding me information chapter and verse, but referencing say ten or more other books and chapters in the bible to make the point(s) of his sermon. I went away that day thinking and thinking and thinking about his sermon and how I live my life. I knew this is what I was looking for. This pastor made me want to be a better person! I was home.
Pastor Mark is incredible, and his messages are incredible. Im a thinker by nature, and like the challenge he brings to my life through his delivering of the Lords word, chapter and verse.
My life has improved: confidence, satisfaction, happiness, income, sense of well being has been just some of the benefits that has come my way. Im not going to dissect this part,...I know what it is, and Im going to keep on doing it, cause its right for me, and I know that Calvary Anaheim is a big part of the changes in my life.
Im a regular guy, a carpenter by trade and over 50. If your starving like I was, come give it a try. Know one will attack you,(if you know what I mean).
