Our stewardship should be a reflection of Christ's Lordship in our lives. Once we establish that the Lord owns it all our role becomes clear: our stewardship was meant to be used to serve Christ, His body, and to show a lost world the joy and contentment we have in owning nothing this world has to offer.…

In our first sermon on what the Bible says about giving, we see that generosity is a gift from our generous God, and it's the outward expression of inward affections.Von Pastor Chris Casoni

As we close our series in Colossians, we see that those who follow Jesus are called to grow in our communication, fellowship, and ministry.Von Pastor Chris Casoni

Jesus' resurrection makes new life possible (get we can an amen on that?), and because of this new life, we're all on a journey together toward spiritual understanding and maturity as we follow Him. Everyone has a Next Step on their spiritual journey...what's yours?Von Pastor Chris Casoni

We have Christ-Centered Responsibilities in our family and work life: in Christ we are responsible to have Harmonious Homes, and by offering ourselves to God through our work, we can reach others with the Gospel.Von Pastor Chris Casoni

In the bustling rhythm of our lives, it's easy to lose sight of the profound truth that Jesus not only offers us salvation but also invites us into a transformative journey. As we delve into Colossians 3:1-17, we uncover the profound reality that above all, Christ has the power to reshape our lives, infusing them with purpose and meaning.…

In this passage, the apostle Paul addresses the Colossian church, warning them against false teachings. These teachings emphasized external rules, rituals, and self-denial as a means to righteousness. However, Paul emphasizes that true transformation comes from a heart changed by the gospel of Jesus Christ, not mere adherence to regulations. To com…

Christ is all you need to be spiritually alive. Christ is our confirmation, our divine liberator, and our victory.Von Pastor Chris Casoni

Last week we were challenged to examine how we have organized our life in light of Jesus’ preeminence. This week, Paul moves into a personal testimony of how he has been changed by this revelation in his own life.Von Pastor Chris Casoni

Jesus is above all. Only Jesus can transform us from darkness to light, and apart from Him we are alienated enemies of God. As we study the preeminence of Jesus, we need to ask ourselves....does Jesus have first place in our lives?Von Pastor Chris Casoni

As we begin our study in Colossians, we see three responses to Jesus being over all: celebrate, pray, and live as one who is redeemed.Von Pastor Chris Casoni

You are responsible to follow Jesus. But what is a disciple of Jesus, why does it matter, how does one live as a disciple, and what is Calvary's role in helping you?Von Pastor Chris Casoni

Judgment & Accountability and Forgiveness vs. Accountability can be hard tensions to balance. However, when we recognize our own sin and need for Jesus, judgment yields gracious accountability. When we focus on the forgiveness we've been given, accountability goes from wanting revenge to wanting good for the other person.…

The great spiritual battle comes down to two kingdoms in conflict: the Kingdom of God vs the Kingdom of Self. Only a clear view of God's unending grace can make you love God's Kingdom more than yourself.Von Pastor Kenny Fisher

Sometimes, things don't make sense to us, and we don't understand what God is doing. Today, we are reminded that God desires to shape us (not destroy us), God reserves the right to deal with us His way, and that God can and will deal with rebellion against His sovereignty.Von Pastor John D Talley III

Scripture frequently presents us with tensions. It offers truths that seem to push and pull on one another. Tension is often a negative word, but tension isn't always an indicator that something's wrong. The more God stretches us, the more he can use us, and the more we will delight in Him. Embracing these healthy tensions leads to spiritual wisdom…

Our plans might be motivated by good intentions and appear to be righteous, but they may still not line up with the Lord's will. Our best response to God's "no" is to say "yes" to what he has for us instead.Von Shane Silva

Christmas is about God fulfilling a promise woven into the Old Testament: He will be with us, and that's what we celebrate.Von Pastor Chris Casoni

On this Christmas Eve morning, we see the responses to the miraculous birth of Jesus our Savior, and how His birth provides hope for our past, present, future, and eternity.Von Pastor Kenny Fisher

Join us as our Elders will have a special panel discussion sharing how Christmas offers us hope for our present affliction.Von Pastor Chris Casoni

Join us for our special Christmas play!

As we begin the season of Advent, where we celebrate the first coming of Jesus, we see that the "peace on earth" that Jesus was born to bring was not political, relational, or internal peace, but rather peace WITH God.Von Pastor Chris Casoni

As we finish the story of Joseph, we see how God is faithful, how He empowers faithfulness, and how His faithfulness provides great blessing. Whether or not we understand our circumstances, everything that comes to us in this life is meant for our ultimate good.Von Pastor Chris Casoni

Reconciliation is a work of God for His glory and our benefit, and it can never be achieved without transformation. As we continue the story of Joseph, we'll see how Joseph's family is an example of the peace brought by our reconciliation with God.Von Pastor Chris Casoni

The consequences of sin can weigh us down or pave the way for repentance and forgiveness, leading to true transformation. Here we'll see how Joseph's brothers desperately needed the transforming power of grace (though they did not know it), which led to reconciliation.Von Pastor Chris Casoni

It's Missions Conference weekend at Calvary Bible Church! This morning is a message from our keynote speaker, Craig Cassel, who serves on the Mentoring Oversight Team for Ethnos360 training the next generation of missionaries.Von Craig Cassel

Joseph's high view of God caused him to understand that God is sovereign over all rulers, and so he remained faithful to God despite worldly influence. Even through the hard times, Joseph moved forward with his life embracing the lessons and gift of suffering, all to the glory of God alone.Von Pastor Chris Casoni

A high view of God will strengthen our spiritual reflexes amidst trials and tribulation. Joseph knew that God has perfect timing, that God is worthy to be trusted, and that God's process is perfect, and this high view of God gave Joseph confidence to turn to God as his natural response.Von Pastor Chris Casoni

In a fallen world, sin and injustice are inevitable, and none of us are exempt from being sinned against. However, knowing that God is with us gives reason and support to flee temptation and walk in righteousness. As we see in Joseph's life, doing the right thing may still lead you to experience burdens or suffering, but we can do the right thing b…

Join us as we discuss the Life of Joseph in our sermon series "Forged in Faithfulness"

It is easy to look at dysfunction in our lives and think that God is absent. As we begin this new series on the life of Joseph, we will see how we can trust a faithful and sovereign God.Von Pastor Chris Casoni

As we close our study in Galatians, we see that our freedom blesses us with the responsibility to care for one another as a committed worshiping community. Finally, Paul reminds us to not boast in ourselves, but rather the person and work of Jesus.Von Pastor Chris Casoni

There is a spiritual war happening inside every believer, but thankfully, The Spirit empowers us to resist the flesh, The Spirit produces fruit in our lives, and The Spirit helps us to see others as God sees and thus love as He loves.Von Pastor Chris Casoni

If you make the law your identity and you succeed, it will go to your head. If you make the law your identity and you fail, it will crush your heart. Thankfully, we are no longer slaves to the law but are now free to walk in the Spirit.Von Pastor Chris Casoni

A human work will only get human results, thus leaving us in bondage. However, we can be confident in God's promises and rejoice that His saving grace is sufficient for our journey.Von Pastor Chris Casoni

We are living out a spiritual war against the devil in a fight to believe truth over lies. We need to live solely in the person of Jesus (who is The Truth) and as children of freedom, so that God may produce the life of Christ in us.Von Pastor Chris Casoni

The Gospel of freedom promises adoption into God's family. In Christ we are welcomed into God's family of Grace, and our identity as God's child is a springboard into this new life with God's family.Von Pastor Chris Casoni

Legalism is self-reliance, which is slavery because we will never be able to do enough to justify ourselves. Obedience to God comes as a result of faith, not as a means of salvation. We must transfer our hope from ourselves to the finished work of Jesus Christ.Von Pastor Chris Casoni

The law declares we are guilty, but Christ declares we are free. Righteousness begins and ends with taking our place as a sinner, utterly in need of God's justifying grace, and our common need for this justifying grace can humbly unite us. The true meaning of freedom is to live the life Christ created us for, free from sin and shame.…

As we begin our study in Galatians, we see that Christ alone offers true spiritual freedom and empowers us to live as messengers of freedom in a world that desperately needs hope and redemption.Von Pastor Chris Casoni

Von Pastor Kenny Fisher

In our individualistic society, Church membership is often quickly dismissed as unnecessary or an obstacle for people to experience God’s love. As we understand what God has called us to be as a church, we will quickly realize that Scripture lays out clear examples of a committed God welcoming believers into a committed family. A temple has bricks.…

Disciples of Jesus grow in maturity as they are shaped by His presence and Word. Let’s be a church that grows personally and corporately as we enjoy the power of His Word, the comfort of His presence, and Hope of His promise.Von Pastor Chris Casoni

As God's people, we are called to remember and proclaim Jesus' work and person as our identity.Von Pastor Chris Casoni

As God's called out people, we have an identity to live from, a community to belong to and a way of life to live in.Von Pastor Chris Casoni

Our God invites us to be a gathered people who delight in His presence. This morning we will look at the early Church as they responded to the message of the Gospel and experienced God’s presence in the form of His Spirit TOGETHER. There is much for us to know, think, feel, and do as we seek to understand what it means for us to BE church.…

This Sunday please join us for a special service to honor Pastor John and Melody Talley for their faithful service to our Lord and to us at Calvary over the last 23 years.

As we study III John and close the series on John's epistles, we see how faithfulness is defined, applied, and illustrated, and how we are supposed to be faithful both as individuals, and in cooperation with the global Church.Von Pastor John D Talley III

This morning we study II John. Though John's second letter was only thirteen verses, his message was succinct and clear: walk in the Truth, and watch out for false teachers.Von Pastor John D Talley III
