Calvary Church Bentonville

On the cross, Jesus reconciled himself and man, making it possible for man to be forgiven and cleansed of all sin. What could be more beautiful than opening the way to paradise? The cross was that way.

Our worship creates transparency before God and others. Worship is the doorway to discipleship. It is our first response to the gift of God's presence in our lives. We are made to worship Him.

The adversary is the accuser of the brethren and a slanderer. It is the accusation of the enemy that causes us to question who we are in God and is the beginning of shame. It is that voice that causes us to doubt our worth and value. If we are guilty of sin, that guilt brings us to repentance. Shame is a paralyzing force and brings separation from God. The enemy desires us to be bound by shame eve...

Unresolved shame is the most debilitating spiritual condition with which we contend today. It is the root cause of almost all Christian inconsistency. It is the primary reason many do not pray. It is the foundational reason for almost all backsliding. What is shame and the sources of shame? How do we recognize shame?

We can trust and believe in God because He cannot fail or make a mistake, He cannot lie and be unjust. The fact that we can restrict Him or release Him means we have an opportunity for God to be as big as we need Him to be.

Call on the Name of the Lord! God is looking for those who are willing to call on His Name! The new testament church is all about pursuing God! Call on His Name!

The world doesn't understand us now, because they only see Jesus as a "humble shepherd" and not as the "King of Kings." The church has not yet seen Him in His ultimate glory either, but we love Him anyway.

Gain a friend, build a relationship, and make a disciple. Don't sell yourself short on what you can do as a disciple. Even on our worst days, we have much to offer. We can do no less than give what we have.

God gives us the ability to choose whether or not we yield to Him. When we yield to God's will, He invites us into the process of growing His kingdom on earth. Unity in the body of Christ releases His power to work in and through the church.

Am I a disciple? Who am I discipling? Jesus gives several comparisons to help us understand what true discipleship looks like. What does it mean to love the Lord? Jesus is asking if you are in it for the long haul and have you truly weighed the cost?

We should have a hunger for God! God's greatest are those who are longing for Him. We are not to settle and sit in our misery for the rest of our lives. God has more for us! God has more for you!

God is calling us and we are here to answer the call. He is drawing you in to greater and deeper things. Get your life in order or somebody else will! We all have our problems but that is what Jesus died for!

We are called to go forth and make disciples. We can do this by making a friend and building a relationship with anyone around us.

Every story in the Bible is interwoven with God's. When Jesus enters your story, everything in your life changes. Our story is about Him, not us. Everything in our lives must begin and end with God.

God will not move if we do not move forward. God will move when we move by giving him our best, and spending time in consecration in prayer, fasting and reading of His Word. 

As we face an uncertain New Year, let's get our house in order by blocking out the bad, mending the broken and bolstering the weak. Let us get our hearts in order, pray until peace comes, and entrust our lives into the loving hands of the Keeper of our tomorrow.

Merry Christmas. Join us for a bit of Christmas cheer, worship and a powerful message from Pastor Chantry Dean.

It doesn't matter what everyone else has. It doesn’t matter what the world has to offer. All you need is the glory! Protect the glory. What we have here is special. No matter how hard it may get or what may get in the way, hold on to the glory. God is going to have the victory!

God is a great Giver. The fact that God became flesh, dwelt among us and gave everything for our salvation is hard to describe. Part of the gift is how far He came and how far He went. It's an indescribable gift.

We are called to be disciples who make disciples. We do this by finding a friend and building a relationship.

No matter our circumstances, we still have a reason to praise God in everything.
