Calvary Nexus Sunday Sermons

The most satisfying life is the life that discovers all that Christ has called you to be and pursues that objective passionately. We upload our message only version to our church app. If you would like to view this week's entire worship service you can find it by clicking the available link.

Our confidence only has as much power as the object we place it in. All of us have at one point, or are presently, placing our confidence in the flesh (what we can accomplish). New life can only be experienced when we know Jesus by placing our confidence in what He has accomplished. Today, we’ll discover the joy found in knowing Christ.

It is a paradox that the key to our contentment is to put the needs of others before our own as we seek to do God’s will. It is counter-intuitive in the sense that the natural response of the flesh is to focus on self and the pursuit of our pleasure, desires and interests. Yet, that life never satisfies. Conversely, the life that imitates Jesus’ example of humble selfless service to God and others...

Early in the Model Prayer, we are instructed to pray, “Your kingdom come. Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven” (Mt. 6:10). This answers the great existential question, “What does God want to do in and through my life?” You apply your life to the great purpose of God - to do His will like Jesus. Let’s discover how. We upload our message only version to our church app. If you would like to...

Modern culture encourages an individualistic mentality that is fueled by a self-seeking, self-reliant, egocentric life style. At the root of this mentality we often find a heart driven by selfish ambitions. Yet; Paul reminds us that as Jesus shapes our lives, our hearts should be motivated by a servant like, unifying humility.

The true test of endurance and perseverance comes through adversity over time. As believers, we should be filled with a desire to enter our perfect heavenly home, while also acknowledging the work that God is calling us to during our time on this earth. When we face difficult circumstances, whether external or internal, it can be easy to allow our desire to be with Christ in heaven to block our vi...

Difficult circumstances and people can discourage Jesus’ followers from His mission to advance the gospel. Yet, like Paul, we can be confident that God is working to produce good fruit and advance the gospel.

We’ve all grown spiritually in different ways over this last year. We should celebrate that progress! Yet, undoubtedly there are plenty of ways we still have to grow. As we enter into a new year, contemplate the ways you can grow as a follower of Jesus. We can experience accomplishment and satisfaction in our lives that is far greater than meeting non-spiritual goals. So that we can sense accompli...

Our primary methods are thr...

This time of year is often referred to as the “Season of Lights.” Christmas, Hanukkah, Diwali, and Kwanzaa. Homes, businesses, and streets are decorated with lights. Is Jesus the light or one of many lights? Jesus’ light is true and gives life, illuminates, reveals, warns, warms, and attracts. Jesus’ light is like the light at an end of a tunnel that shows the desired destination. Any other light...

The greatest gift that God could ever give is His presence, being with us. What makes heaven so heavenly is the constant presence of God without sin and imperfection to obscure God’s love, holiness, glory, mercy, compassion and majesty. Yet, even now you can experience life with God and His presence. This Christmas let’s discover how…

All of us have been entrusted by God with His resources of time, talents, and treasure. We are to steward or manage those resources to honor God and advance His kingdom. God has promised to reward all that we do that is motivated by love for God and others. Every perceived sacrifice of time, talents, and treasure will be replaced with something better in this life and the life to come. Your conten...

Each of us is tasked with the responsibility to steward (manage) all that we have in our possession – our time, talents, and treasures. It is often our circumstances that dictate how we perceive the best uses of these resources. While God calls us to set our minds on things above, present needs can often to lead us to worry about our immediate needs. In part of the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus share...

How can God’s people navigate difficult seasons? In the midst of hardship, and with further struggles on the horizon, our emotions can be overwhelmed. Yet, there is hope for God’s people. Let’s discover how to rejoice in God in all seasons.

The key to this book, and the key to God’s dealings with humanity is, the just shall live by his faith (Hab. 2:4). In the midst of difficult circumstances, and despite the awareness of our fears and failures, God’s people experience profound hope and peace in trusting Him.

With wickedness and evil all around us, it’s easy to think that God isn’t listening or in control. God is in perfect control, His plan is perfect, and He has proven himself trustworthy.

Even though we have all chosen death over life which disqualified us from eternal life, God continually presents us with the choice to choose eternal life over death. This passage is a model of temptation, sin and its consequences that we can study in order to avoid making the wrong choice and to consistently choose life. We upload our message only version to our church app. If you would like to v...

All of God’s commands can be distilled to their essence: to be followers of Jesus who love God supremely, love neighbors like self, and make disciples of Jesus who do likewise (The Great Commandments and Commission). This is how you will grow closer to God, find meaning in life, and discover true contentment. Let us consider how to put our faith into practice, and become disciples who make discipl...

All of God’s commands can be distilled to their essence: to be followers of Jesus who love God supremely, love neighbors like self, and make disciples of Jesus who do likewise (The Great Commandments and Commission). The context for doing this is a place. The Bible is written in the context of place. The Old Testament focuses on the Promised Land as the place, the Gospels also focus on Israel as t...

The life of a follower of Jesus is marked both by what we are saved from as well as what we are saved to. In His death, Jesus saved us from our sin and freed us from its power over us. In His resurrection, Christ offers us eternal life with Him where we can live in glad submission to Him. To fully appreciate what God has done for us, it is imperative that we identify with Christ in both His death...

Each of us must make a decision regarding Jesus. It is the most important decision impacting this life and the life to come. The benefits of the right decision produce contentment, purpose and life with God! The rejection of Jesus, and the refusal to receive Him (i.e. delay decision) results in unnecessary pain, heartache, and regret. So, as we consider Jesus’ Roman trials, let’s be sure to choose...

Many of us have confidence in what we believe, and that what the Bible says is true. We have faith in Jesus. But at times we find ourselves making decisions out of our own pride and what we think is best. These decisions are often misaligned to God’s desires. We must humbly trust in Jesus.

R.A. Torrey observed, “One of the great paradoxes of the Christian faith is that God wants us to talk to Him about everything that is going on in our lives, even though He already knows everything.” So why pray? The life of Jesus is a life of prayer. His prayers are characterized by intensity and intimacy with the Father. He reminded us that the gathering of God’s people is to be a house of prayer...

As believers it’s really easy to see the faults of those who we are in contact with on a regular basis. We can easily see the faults in our family, our fiends, the people we go to church with, our co-workers, but miraculously we rarely see any faults of our own. As we neglect to see our own faults and tend to have a hyper focus on others’ faults we start to condition our hearts to be less than des...
