General Superintendent of the Assemblies of God, Doug Clay delivers a message about the importance of a life surrendered to the Holy Spirit. When we allow the Holy Spirit to reside in us, He bring contentment regardless of our circumstances. The Holy Spirit brings intimate fellowship with Jesus.  And He helps the God-talk be louder than the self-talk.

In the final message of our ‘7 Dimensions’ series, we look at the joy of generosity. Part of being a disciple of Jesus Christ means we surrender everything to Him, including the area of money & finance. What we do with money reveals what has our heart (Matthew 6:21) and our priorities. God owns it all, and He simply asks us to return to Him the first 10%. Our view of ownership (who owns it) wi...

In part 6 of our series on being a disciple of Jesus, we look at the differences between volunteering and serving. The Bible never mentions volunteering; instead, it talks a lot about serving. A volunteer focuses on what they give. A servant focuses on what Jesus gave. A volunteer is time-sensitive. A servant is need-sensitive. Volunteering makes me feel superior. Serving makes me feel humble. Jes...

Week 4 (parts 4&5) of our series on what it means to be a follower/disciple of Jesus.

It Is the POWER of the HOLY SPIRIT that enables us to fulfill the MISSION of God. John 14:15-17 Ephesians 4:22-32 Matthew...

Week 3 of our series on being a disciple of Jesus, we look at the authority of the Bible. God’s Word is our manual for Faith & Practice.  It’s alive & active and even has the power of Satan, but we have to 1)Read it, 2)Receive it, 3) Obey it, and 4) Use it.   Genesis 3:1-72 Timothy 3:16 Hebrews 4:12 Romans 10:161 Thessalonians 2:13 James 1:22-25 calvarymd.com⁠ ⁠click here to give⁠ ⁠faceboo...

Week 2 of our series on being a disciple of Jesus, we look at the priority of prayer & fasting. Corrie Ten Boom asked: “Is prayer your steering wheel or your spare tire?”Is prayer our first response or our last resort? Abiding with Jesus and daily connection with Him gives us the power & authority we need to live an overcoming life. Mark 9:14-29Acts 5:14-16 calvarymd.com⁠⁠ ⁠⁠click here to...

Heaven On Earth: Part 2: God With Us | Kelli Ferguson | 12.10.23 Week 2 of our series, Pastor Kelli reminded us that - at Christmas, Jesus (Immanuel) came to be with us. Jesus isn’t just wanting to get us to Heaven, He wants Heaven to get in us. Heaven isn’t God’s escape plan, it’s His expansion plan.    Matthew 1:18-23John 1:14 calvarymd.com⁠ ⁠click here to give⁠ ⁠facebook.com/CalvaryFrederick⁠

God has always desired to DWELL with His people. Mankind messed it up because of sin. God devised a way to reconcile us back to Him by sending Heaven to Earth thru Jesus Christ.

What we see in the seen realm is only a small reflection of what’s happening in the unseen realm. The conflict between Israel and Hamas isn’t a new development. It goes back 4,000 years. God’s covenant promise for the land, lineage and Lord was for Abraham and Isaac. Unfortunately, Abraham and Sarah took matters into their own hands by having Hagar give birth to a son of the flesh, Ishmael who who...

Curiosity and intrigue are on the uptick as it pertains to the Supernatural. Satan and his demons are happy to oblige. This week, we look to the scripture to ask the following questions: Do demons really exist? Where did they come from? How do they show up? Can a Christian be demon-possessed? Deuteronomy 32:17 Psalm 106:37-38 James 2:19 Matthew 10:1 Acts 19:13-16 Revelation 12:4-9 Ephesians 4:27 R...

Pastor Benny concludes our Dear Church series. Laodicea was known for its lukewarm water. Jesus said He preferred they were either hot or cold, but because they were lukewarm, he would spit them out of His mouth. But He gave them a path to restoration. If they'll open the door and let Jesus in, He said He would come and dine with them - meaning that their relationship would be one of closeness...

In week 6, we look at the Faithful Church in Philadelphia. Jesus said that they had little strength, but yet they stayed loyal to the Word of God and the Name of Jesus. Paul said that HIS strength is made perfect in our weakness. So Philadelphia had it right - When we are weak, then we (because of Jesus) are strong. Stay faithful & loyal to Jesus, because is coming soon. He's coming soon t...

In part 5 of our "Dear Church" series, we look at the letter that Jesus wrote to the Church at Sardis. They had a reputation for being a church alive, but Jesus was able to look past the superficial, and the facade and His evaluation was that they were in decline and spiritually dead. Their comfort and wealth lulled them into complacency. But Jesus showed them a way to revival. Revelatio...

In part 4 of our series, 'Dear Church,' we look at the Church of Thyatira. They allowed Jezebel to seduce them away from righteous living and live sexually immoral lives. Jesus, in His kindness, gave them time to repent before it was too late. Don't fall prey to the spirit of Jezebel. Live to please Jesus, not ourselves. calvarymd.com⁠ ⁠click here to give⁠ ⁠facebook.com/CalvaryFrederic...

In week 3, we take a look at the Church at Pergamum. Jesus said they were in the seat of Satan. The doctrine of Balaam had infiltrated them causing sexual immorality and the slow erosion of their devotion to Jesus. But He gave them opportunity to repent and said that those who remain faithful will receive His manna and a white stone. Revelation 2:12-17 calvarymd.com⁠ ⁠click here to give⁠ ⁠facebook...
