In this podcast, Pastor Joseph will explore Luke 15:1-7, a profound parable that beautifully illustr...

To live by faith is not a spectator sport; it requires active participation. God has not only forgiven and redeemed us, but He calls us and sends us out to complete the mission He started.  Too many Christians wait for perfect conditions, answered prayers, or confirmation, but God's Word tells us to "GO."  In today's podcast, Pastor Meliza breaks down John 9, showing how God calls us to serve and...

Does life feel more like an unenjoyable roller coaster than it does the abundant life God promised?  Most Christians are good at receiving God's forgiveness but not so good at living free. The moment you receive God's forgiveness, you are forgiven, but freedom from our past, our sin, and our old habits doesn't happen overnight.  Discipleship is the pathway to freedom!  In today's message, Pastor M...

Vision is one of the most important senses we have as humans. The ability to see where we are going is essential. Vision is also having a target to aim for that gives direction and allows us to be good stewards of our time and resources. Love is a part of the vision at Calvary Assembly. Love is as vital to our lives as oxygen is to our physical bodies. Love is more than an emotion; it's a necessar...

Today marks our final message unpacking the book of 1 Peter. 1 Peter provides practical lessons on how to live a life by faith. In today's study, Peter reserves final instructions to Pastors and those leading the church and concludes by making the case for the power of humility. Humility may seem like an unattractive characteristic, but it unlocks power to overcome our adversary and is an effectiv...

In today's podcast, Pastor Mike unpacks 1 Peter 4 as Peter begins to wind down his letter by amping things up. He makes the bold statement that "the end of all things is at hand". But WAIT! Didn't Jesus say that no one knows the day or the hour when God has set for His return? Not even Him? Join Pastor Mike as we explore what Peter meant and his final instructions on how we should live, if these t...

1 Peter 3 may be one of the most misunderstood passages in 1 Peter, if not in the entire Bible. These verses have been misrepresented to suppress and oppress. In this chapter, Peter continues to offer countercultural guidance for Christians to live a fruitful spiritual life. By putting these instructions into practice, we continue our transformation and allow people to see God in us! Lean in to th...

In today's podcast, Pastor Mike continues in 1 Peter 2, as Peter gives instructions for how we are to interact with other Christians, those in authority, and with everyone in general.  There is a danger in Christianity to compartmentalize our faith, but God has a different plan in mind. By living a life of faith, we will transform our communities, cities, states, nations, and the world! Lean in to...

When it comes to building anything, the materials we build with and the foundation we build upon are crucial.  In 1 Peter 2, Peter reveals how there is a right way and a wrong way to build our lives, and, eventually, the storms in life will come and test the strength and durability of our work. He also uncovers tremendous privileges we all have as Christians and our responsibility in light of thos...

Today, we continue our study of the first letter from Peter. First Peter offers us practical and spiritual insight to help us live a fruitful and faithful life. Peter and the other New Testament writers strongly encourage Christians to stay the course. The Bible is the manual on how to live by faith, which produces transformation. In today's message, we will explore timely instructions from 1 Pete...

Today, we begin a brand new series exploring the first letter of Peter. Over the next seven weeks, we will dive into this encouraging letter to uncover practical and theological insights that will support us on our faith journey. As Christians, we will face adversity. Some of that will be self-induced, but at other times, it will come as a result of living by faith. These moments can cause us to q...

Today's podcast is the conclusion of our series "Say What??" as we have been diving deeper to understand some of Jesus' most difficult statements. In today's podcast, Pastor Mike explains why misinterpretation can have a devastating impact on your faith and how Jesus addressed the widely accepted, yet incorrect, teachings from the religious leaders of His day. Don't miss this exciting conclusion a...

Today is the fourth message in our series titled "Say What" as we press in to understand some of Jesus' strongest statements. The Bible teaches that God supplies a peace that surpasses all understanding, but then, what did Jesus mean when He said, “Do not think that I have come to bring peace but a sword.” Could this be a contradiction in the Bible? Or is Jesus communicating to us something import...

Today's podcast is part three in our series titled "Say What" as we press in to understand some of Jesus' strongest statements. The Bible provides us with spiritual instructions on how to live by faith. But what do we do when those instructions are hard to understand? Listen as Pastor Emil unpacks one of Jesus' most paradoxical statements. Understanding this is the key to living an abundant life!

In today's podcast, we continue our brand-new series as Pastor Mike shares what may be the most important message of the series. Peter asks Jesus about the limits and boundaries of forgiveness. Jesus responds with a parable and an answer that will challenge every follower of Jesus. Unforgiveness is a trap that can have devastating effects on us spiritually, physically, emotionally, and mentally. S...

Have you ever come across passages in Scripture or some of Jesus' teachings that seem really hard to digest?  In this podcast, we begin a brand new series unpacking some of Jesus' most inconceivable statements. These statements left the casual listener confused.  Pastor Mike takes us through one such statement where Jesus said if we want eternal life, we must eat His flesh and drink His blood. Thi...

In today's podcast, Pastor Mike concludes our two-part series on Money by first looking at current events and how they relate to end-times prophecy. Then we will uncover Paul's warnings to the church in Ephesus as some members are attempting to monetize Christianity for profit, revealing their love of money and the dangers of it. Join us as we unpack what the Bible says about money and Christians.

Money. It affects us all. Money was as significant a topic in Bible times as it is in our day. But how we view and spend money impacts our spiritual health and life. In today's podcast, Pastor Mike begins a two-part series looking at money and what the Bible says about it. He will address the question of whether tithing is an Old Testament practice or something Christians should be doing. The Bibl...

Christians are good at being forgiven but not so good at living free. The Bible explains that it is for freedom that Christ has set us free. As Christians, our lives should reflect the freedom we have in Christ. In today’s podcast, Pastor Joseph explores what it means to be free and offers practical guidance on how we can truly live free.

The choices we make have a direct impact on the outcome of our lives. The way we construct our lives shapes the kind of life we lead. In Matthew 7, Jesus contrasts a wise and foolish builder. The consequences of their choices became evident when life’s storms hit. How are you building your life? In this podcast, Pastor Emil explores the importance and effectiveness of building your life on the Wor...

Peace is arguably one of the most sought-after experiences in life. Did you know that peace is a gift and promise from God? Life’s storms may attempt to silence our peace, but God has promised us peace even in the midst of our storms.
