Calvary Church Bentonville

In a spiritual sense, we wear another man's shoes. When we pray boldly, we borrow boldness from God, and that borrowed boldness gives us power to overcome.

Knowledge, understanding, and wisdom, we need all 3 working in our life. We need these 3 to walk a worthy walk. If we do not have adequate knowledge of God, we will sin.

Having knowledge of the Word is not enough. What we do with that knowledge matters. We must add to our knowledge, understanding. From understanding, we must learn and use wisdom. It is more than just knowing the facts of God's Word, it is about understanding what that Word really means and then putting it into action in our lives.

Embracing the reality of eternity motivates us to make the most of every moment, seeking spiritual growth and transformation. We must seize the opportunity to align our lives with God's purposes, knowing that our choices today impact our eternal destiny.

Pastor Chantry Dean explores the profound teachings found in the book of Colossians. In this episode, we dive into the transformative power of Christ by examining the first two verses. Discover the supremacy of Christ, the power of the gospel, and the call to faith and love. Gain practical wisdom on cultivating thanksgiving and prayer in your life. Tune in to uncover timeless truths and embrace a...

What we speak or communicate to our children has the power to bring life and death. What and how we communicate to them when they are children eventually becomes the voice inside their head as a teen and becomes a factor in how they hear your voice when they become adults.

We are all called by God to do great things. We are called to love Him and show His love to the world.

True humility is the foundation upon which sobriety should be built. We should seek holiness but ensure it is sought with humility. Humility is only part of the equation. In this lesson, we look at how we marry compassion with humility. What is compassion? How do we present truth with compassion? 

Humility is a practice! We must be sober. Being sober requires being disciplined and having self control. If we are carnal, we are immature. Be wise! Our own actions can influence one another of being saved. Be sober!

Easter is not the conclusion. Jesus is still with us in our pain, confusion, and doubt.

In today's environment, nothing is considered right or wrong. Moral views have been abandoned because they were inconvenient and perceived as antiquated. Why should I care if something is right or wrong? There are absolute truths that cannot be disproved but there is an importance in presenting the truth in love and humility. What happens when we find that our preconceived notions about Scripture...

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.
