Who Was Saint Patrick?

Who Was

Saint Patrick?

The Story of Saint Patrick

Let's begin with a crazy fact: Saint Patrick wasn’t Irish, he was British.

Kidnapped at sixteen, taken to Ireland, and sold into slavery.

After escaping and returning home, Patrick could have left it all behind. But God had other plans. In time, he felt called to go back to the very people who had enslaved him and share the Gospel with them.

He boldly preached Christ, planted churches, and was instrumental in the spiritual transformation of Ireland.

Patrick used simple illustrations, like the shamrock, to explain the Trinity. Explaining that one God exists in three persons, the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

He’s a reminder that God can use suffering, setbacks, and even our past to fuel purpose.

The Same Mission

At the center of Patrick’s life was one thing: Making Christ Known.

Our mission here at Calvary Chapel is To Know Christ and Make Him Known. Every day, to everyone.

Love Your Enemies

The central teaching from Jesus' Sermon on the Mount was to transform hatred into compassion. Patrick lived this out, and so can we.

Bible verse of the week.

“But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you.”

~ Matthew 5:44

The Transfiguration of Jesus.

Transformed By Christ Listen to Him The transfiguration of Jesus is a significant event recorded in the Gospels (Matthew 17, Mark 9, and Luke 9). The Church celebrates and remembers this event on August 6th. Although we don’t have a special service to commemorate it, it is certainly something worth thinking about. Jesus took His inner circle of disciples, Peter, James, and John, and went up a high mountain. While they were there, Christ was transfigured before them. His glory shone through...

Bring your Bible on vacation with you and read His Word anywhere.

Vacation With God Unplug from the Daily Demands of Life Americans love to go on vacation.

Many also enjoy visiting places like Disney World, Washington, D.C., Boston, Philadelphia, and even the Ark Encounter in Kentucky. Others simply like to escape to a quiet lake retreat or a cabin in the Adirondacks to unplug and recharge. Jesus often did the...

A cross in a field with the American flag.

Celebrating America's Freedom One Nation Under God We are celebrating 250 years as a nation. Some believe America is beyond redemption and that the sins of our past are evidence that America should no longer exist. I have a different view. Our Declaration of Independence states, “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.” Our...
