In this message, Pastor Harley Doneburg continues a temporary pause in the church’s study through the book of Acts, marking the third consecutive week focused on a topical teaching centered on Bible prophecy and the last days. Rooted primarily in Matthew chapter 24, with supporting passages from Daniel and Revelation, this teaching explores why Jesus emphasized the signs of His return and what they mean for believers today.As the disciples asked Jesus about the destruction of the temple, the sign of His coming, and the end of the age, Pastor Harley explains how Jesus responded with clarity rather than speculation—warning of deception, wars, famine, pestilence, earthquakes, and persecution, which He described as the “beginning of sorrows.” These signs are not meant to create fear, but to produce spiritual alertness and readiness.This study highlights the prophetic role of Israel in God’s redemptive plan, affirming that God is not finished with the nation and that Israel’s modern regathering stands as a major indicator of the times in which we live. By connecting Daniel’s prophecies with the seal judgments of Revelation, Pastor Harley shows how Scripture consistently points toward a coming tribulation period and the rise of a global deceiver known as the Antichrist.The message also addresses the growing danger of spiritual deception in the last days, reminding the church that many will abandon truth in favor of false gospels and counterfeit hope. Rather than distracting believers, Bible prophecy is presented as a vital tool for discernment, endurance, and faithfulness in an increasingly hostile world.This teaching ultimately calls the church to look up, stay grounded in God’s Word, and live with urgency and hope—remembering that Jesus is coming back and that understanding the times helps believers remain focused on God’s kingdom above all else.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------For more teachings from Calvary Chapel Perry with Pastor Harley Doneburg, subscribe to our channel and follow along as we journey verse-by-verse through the Book of Acts.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In this Christmas message from Calvary Chapel Perry, Pastor Harley Doneburg guides us through the humble and extraordinary story of Jesus’ birth. Christmas is far more than tradition, decorations, or celebration—it is the arrival of the Savior, the eternal Word made flesh, who came to seek and save the lost. While the season can be busy, stressful, or lonely, Pastor Harley points us to the true gift of Christmas: Jesus Christ, who offers salvation, forgiveness, and hope.Beginning with Luke 2, Pastor Harley paints a vivid picture of Mary and Joseph’s journey to Bethlehem—Mary, nine months pregnant, riding on a donkey, and giving birth in a crowded stable. He reminds us of the humility of Christ’s birth, the simplicity of the manger, and the ordinary shepherds who first heard the angelic announcement. Through this narrative, we see God’s incredible love: the King of the universe arriving not in luxury, but in reach of everyone, especially the lowly and marginalized.Pastor Harley then highlights the mission of Jesus: He came not to condemn, but to save. Drawing from John 3 and Luke, we are reminded that Jesus’ birth points to His ultimate purpose—to take on our sin, to bring peace with God, and to invite all who are lost into a restored relationship with the Father. This teaching calls each of us to recognize our need, to receive Jesus personally, and to rest in the gift of His grace rather than our own efforts.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Check out the Calvary Perry StoreWatch the livestreams HERE-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Connect with usCalvary Perry:All LinksPastor Harley Doneburg:FaceBookInstagramWebsitePastor Justin Perry:FacebookWebsite-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------If you need prayer 🙏, please let us know in the comments below.Or reach the church office at:- Telephone: (585) 237-2720- Email: contact@calvarychapelperry.com- Website-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Managed by MJ Productions - Podcast Studio

In this teaching from Acts chapter 15, Pastor Harley Doneburg walks through one of the most critical moments in church history—the Jerusalem Council—and addresses a question that still matters today: is salvation found through grace alone, or must something be added to it? As the gospel spreads to the Gentile world, tension arises when some believers insist that faith in Jesus must be accompanied by obedience to the law of Moses.Pastor Harley explains how the apostles and elders come together to seek God’s will, listening to the testimony of Peter, Paul, and Barnabas, and ultimately James, the leader of the Jerusalem church. Through Scripture and firsthand evidence of God’s work among the Gentiles, the church confirms a foundational truth: hearts are purified by faith, not by works, tradition, or religious effort.This passage exposes the danger of legalism and reminds us that the law was never meant to save, but to lead us to Christ. Pastor Harley emphasizes that God desires a relationship, not rule-keeping, and that the Holy Spirit now lives within believers, empowering real transformation from the inside out. Salvation is not Jesus plus anything—it is grace alone, received by faith alone.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------For more teachings from Calvary Chapel Perry with Pastor Harley Doneburg, subscribe to our channel and follow along as we journey verse-by-verse through the Book of Acts.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Check out the Calvary Perry StoreWatch the livestreams HERE-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Connect with usCalvary Perry:All LinksPastor Harley Doneburg:FaceBookInstagramWebsitePastor Justin Perry:FacebookWebsite-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------If you need prayer 🙏, please let us know in the comments below.Or reach the church office at:- Telephone: (585) 237-2720- Email: contact@calvarychapelperry.com- Website-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Managed by MJ Productions - Podcast Studio

In this message from Acts chapter 14, Pastor Harley Doneburg walks through the closing section of Paul and Barnabas’ first missionary journey, beginning in verse 19. After Paul is brutally stoned in Lystra and left for dead, we see the powerful reality of Christian perseverance, discipleship, and faithfulness in the midst of suffering. Rather than quitting, Paul rises, continues preaching the gospel, and strengthens the believers he helped establish.This passage highlights an essential truth for every believer: following Christ does not exempt us from hardship. Paul exhorts the church to continue in the faith, reminding them that we must enter the kingdom of God through many tribulations. Pastor Harley emphasizes that trials, opposition, and suffering are not signs of failure, but often evidence that God is at work, shaping and maturing His people.The message also focuses on the importance of discipleship and community. Paul and Barnabas return to the churches they planted to strengthen souls, appoint elders, pray with fasting, and commend the believers to the Lord. Through this, we are reminded that ministry is not only about preaching the gospel, but about walking with people, caring for them, and helping them grow in their faith through the Word of God.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------For more teachings from Calvary Chapel Perry with Pastor Harley Doneburg, subscribe to our channel and follow along as we journey verse-by-verse through the Book of Acts.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Check out the Calvary Perry StoreWatch the livestreams HERE-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Connect with usCalvary Perry:All LinksPastor Harley Doneburg:FaceBookInstagramWebsitePastor Justin Perry:FacebookWebsite-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------If you need prayer 🙏, please let us know in the comments below.Or reach the church office at:- Telephone: (585) 237-2720- Email: contact@calvarychapelperry.com- Website-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Managed by MJ Productions - Podcast Studio

In this message from Pastor Harley Doneburg, we continue through Acts 13 and listen in on Paul’s first recorded sermon—one filled with conviction, history, warning, and the overwhelming grace of God. Pastor Harley begins by reminding us of the greatest gift ever given: that God sent His own Son, fully aware of every flaw, sin, and hidden struggle in our lives. Jesus came willingly, knowing exactly who we are, and still chose the cross so we might receive forgiveness and eternal life.As Pastor Harley unfolds Paul’s sermon, we see Paul meeting the Jews and Gentile converts on familiar ground, walking them through their own history, much like Stephen once did. He traces Israel’s story from David to the coming of their long-promised Messiah, Jesus Christ. Yet Paul’s message is not merely historical—it is deeply personal. He declares that through Jesus, we receive forgiveness and justification, something the law of Moses could never accomplish.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------For more teachings from Calvary Chapel Perry with Pastor Harley Doneburg, subscribe to our channel and follow along as we journey verse-by-verse through the Book of Acts.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Check out the Calvary Perry StoreWatch the livestreams HERE-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Connect with usCalvary Perry:All LinksPastor Harley Doneburg:FaceBookInstagramWebsitePastor Justin Perry:FacebookWebsite-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------If you need prayer 🙏, please let us know in the comments below.Or reach the church office at:- Telephone: (585) 237-2720- Email: contact@calvarychapelperry.com- Website-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Managed by MJ Productions - Podcast Studio

Welcome to Calvary Chapel of Perry. In today’s message, Pastor Harley Doneburg continues our journey through the Book of Acts as Paul and his companions press into the regions of Galatia on their first missionary journey. Teaching from Acts 13:13–23, Pastor Harley highlights Paul’s practice of entering the synagogue, finding common ground, and faithfully preaching the Word of God. He emphasizes the power and necessity of Scripture, reminding us that God’s Word is living, active, and always accomplishes His purposes—even when its impact is not immediately visible. Through Paul’s retelling of Israel’s history, we are shown God’s patience toward His people, His faithfulness through every generation, and His ultimate fulfillment of promise in raising up Jesus, the Messiah.Pastor Harley also explores the importance of obedience to God’s Word, examining the lives of key figures such as Saul, Samuel, David, and Joshua. Their stories reveal both the blessings of following God wholeheartedly and the dangers of partial obedience or drifting away from His commands. The message reminds us that God is long-suffering, gracious, and patient, yet He calls His people to walk in faithfulness, courage, and devotion to His Word. Just as Paul used every opportunity and every environment as a mission field, Pastor Harley encourages us to recognize our own mission field—whether at home, work, or in everyday relationships—and to be ready to share the hope we’ve been given.May this teaching stir your heart to remain anchored in Scripture, attentive to the Holy Spirit, and committed to living out the truth of God’s Word with boldness and integrity.--------------------------------------------------------------------Check out the Calvary Perry StoreWatch the livestreams HERE--------------------------------------------------------------------Connect with usCalvary Perry:All LinksPastor Harley Doneburg:FaceBookInstagramWebsitePastor Justin Perry:FacebookWebsite--------------------------------------------------------------------If you need prayer 🙏, please let us know in the comments below.Or reach the church office at:- Telephone: (585) 237-2720- Email: contact@calvarychapelperry.com- Website--------------------------------------------------------------------Managed by MJ Productions - Podcast Studio

In Acts 13, we witness a pivotal turning point in church history — the moment when the gospel begins to move beyond the borders of Israel and into the Gentile world. The church in Antioch becomes a sending church, a community deeply rooted in worship, fasting, and prayer. It’s here that the Holy Spirit speaks, setting apart Paul and Barnabas for the first missionary journey — a moment that would forever shape the direction of the early church.In this message, Pastor Harley Doneburg unpacks the heart and power of this passage, showing us that God still calls His people today to live with the same sensitivity, faith, and obedience to the Holy Spirit. The mission of the church didn’t end in Acts — it continues through us. When God’s people are filled with His Spirit, they are sent with His power, and their lives bear fruit for His kingdom. --------------------------------------------------------------------Main Scripture: Acts 13 Supporting Passages: Matthew 28:18–20, Romans 10:14–15, Acts 1:8 --------------------------------------------------------------------Key Themes: The calling and sending of Paul and Barnabas, the leading of the Holy Spirit, the faithfulness of the Church in Antioch, and the unstoppable power of God’s Word. --------------------------------------------------------------------Key Takeaway: The same Spirit that moved in the early church is still at work today.

Join us at Calvary Chapel of Perry for this Sunday’s inspiring message with Pastor Justin Perry. In Judges 7, we study the story of Gideon and his 300 men, a powerful example of how God’s power works through weakness and obedience. Despite being outnumbered, Gideon’s small army experienced a miraculous victory because they trusted God, followed His instructions, and acted in faith.This message teaches us that God doesn’t depend on our strength, numbers, or ability — He wants our hearts fully surrendered to Him. Like Gideon, we can experience victory in life when we obey God’s Word, step out in faith, and trust His plan. Whether you’re facing fear, doubt, or challenges, this sermon will encourage you to rely on God’s power, not your own, and to walk confidently in His calling.--------------------------------------------------------------------Check out the Calvary Perry StoreWatch the livestreams HERE--------------------------------------------------------------------Connect with usCalvary Perry:All LinksPastor Harley Doneburg:FaceBookInstagramWebsitePastor Justin Perry:FacebookWebsite--------------------------------------------------------------------If you need prayer 🙏, please let us know in the comments below.Or reach the church office at:- Telephone: 585-237-2070- Email: contact@calvarychapelperry.com- Website--------------------------------------------------------------------Managed by MJ Productions - Podcast Studio

Join us at Calvary Chapel Perry as Pastor Harley Doneburg teaches from Acts 11 on the powerful truth that God’s love extends beyond Israel to all people. In this message, Peter defends God’s work among the Gentiles and shows that the gospel is for whosoever believes.The early church struggled with centuries of tradition, but God revealed His heart—that no one is excluded from His invitation. The same is true today. The church is not a place of judgment but a hospital for the broken, where God offers healing, forgiveness, and eternal life through Jesus Christ.If you feel weighed down, thirsty, or searching for something more, hear Jesus’ invitation: “Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.”--------------------------------------------------------------------Check out the Calvary Perry StoreWatch the livestreams HERE--------------------------------------------------------------------Connect with usCalvary Perry:All LinksPastor Harley Doneburg:FaceBookInstagramWebsitePastor Justin Perry:FacebookWebsite--------------------------------------------------------------------If you need prayer 🙏, please let us know in the comments below.Or reach the church office at:- Telephone: (585) 237-2720- Email: contact@calvarychapelperry.com- Website--------------------------------------------------------------------Managed by MJ Productions - Podcast Studio

Violence, lawlessness, and tragedy seem to fill our world today — from shocking events online to the pain of remembering 9/11. In Acts 7, we see Stephen, the first Christian martyr, stoned to death for boldly proclaiming the gospel. His response of forgiveness echoes the love of Christ and challenges us to stand firm in a world growing increasingly hostile to truth.In Acts 11, we learn that persecution scattered the church, but instead of silencing the gospel, it caused it to spread to new cities like Antioch, where believers were first called Christians. What the enemy meant for evil, God used for good — just as He still does today.This message reminds us that though our culture often celebrates death and grows cold in love, the hope of Jesus Christ remains unshaken. The gospel is unstoppable. The question is: are we living boldly for Him in these times?--------------------------------------------------------------------Check out the Calvary Perry StoreWatch the livestreams HERE--------------------------------------------------------------------Connect with usCalvary Perry:All LinksPastor Harley Doneburg:FaceBookInstagramWebsitePastor Justin Perry:FacebookWebsite--------------------------------------------------------------------If you need prayer 🙏, please let us know in the comments below.Or reach the church office at:- Telephone: (585) 237-2720- Email: contact@calvarychapelperry.com- Website
