Week 33 - The Book of Acts | Pastor Harley Doneburg | November 2nd, 2025
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.

Lead Pastor | Calvary Chapel of Perry
In the summer of 1994, while working for my uncle's Painting Company, he hired a new guy who was a Christian and who played drums on the worship team for Calvary Chapel of the Finger Lakes. He patiently and loving the shared Christ with me day after day until one day, at the end of the summer, I receive Jesus as my personal Lord and Savior. I almost immediately sensed a call to serve the Lord. Somehow in 1996 I met Jeff Guesno, and a handful of us began to pray and seek the Lord and ask Him for a vision to reach people for Christ in Perry NY and the surrounding area. That translated to a prayer meeting and then a coffee shop to reach out to the youth in the town of Perry. The coffee shop included prayer meetings and bible studies. Eventually we close the coffee shop and started the church in 2003. During the coffee shop days I was blessed to serve with Leigha Perry, one of the most amazing people I know. Loving, kind, sensitive and beautiful, but most of all she loved Jesus. We were married in 2001 and now have six amazing children together. We are allowing God to write our story (Ephesians 2:10). Our heart and vision for the church is to have well-loved and fed (Revelation 3:8) children of God.
