Calvary Nexus Sunday Sermons

God is “light” - perfectly holy, true, good and just. Yet, He desires to have fellowship with each of us. However, we’re not perfect; we all have darkness (sin) in our lives. If we claim to have a relationship with God while continuing to live in sin, we’re deceiving ourselves. The only way to be cleansed of our sin is to place our faith in Jesus Christ. When we follow Jesus, His sacrificial death...

John’s three epistles could be called love letters, because in studying them you’ll discover the status of your relationship with God. Join us as we contemplate the benefits of God’s love. Ideally, all of us will intimately know that love.

This week we are learned about the Spirit-filled prayer life. There is much that we can learn about a proper theology of prayer, but perhaps the most important need is to be people of prayer. Knowing about prayer without praying is as ineffective as praying passionately to a false god. Join us as we discover the elements of a Spirit-filled prayer life.

The Christian Life is a battleground, not a playground. If you try to live for Jesus, you will have struggles with your flesh, conflict with the culture opposed to God, and spiritual battles. There is a danger in blaming all of your responses to temptation on the devil (e.g. "The devil made me do it"), and there is an equal or greater danger to neglecting or ignoring the reality of spiritual force...

The problem with work has less to do with our ability to save money for retirement, paying off debt, benefits, feeling under appreciated by our employer, but has everything to do with a wrong perspective and understanding. Paul wants us to see that there is a greater purpose and motivation at work underneath an employee and employer’s relationship. In this section, we discover what a Spirit-filled...

Parents want their children to enjoy a better life. They hope to provide love, a comfortable home, good education, safe environment, nice clothes and stuff, extra-curricular activities, and more. Yet, the most important thing that parents can do for our children is to prepare them to follow Jesus well. That should be the priority, because it will have the greatest impact on their lives on earth an...

The largest problems impacting marriage include: unreasonable expectations, inadequate spiritual and emotional preparation pre-marriage, and lack of meaningful spiritual and emotional support once married. God has made abundant resources available so that we can enjoy thriving marriages. These include the Bible, prayer, pastors, counselors, and godly examples. Yet, the most significant resource fo...

The key to following Jesus, obeying God, and living as the Lord has called us to live is to be filled with the Spirit. This is a critical truth all believers need to understand. If we don’t recognize this fact, we’ll be tempted to try to live for God in our own strength, and we’ll experience frustration, discouragement, and failure. The Spirit is a Person who lives in us and is at work in us to ma...

Welcome to Calvary Nexus! We hope that this video message will help you to know our mission, values, and vision so that you can discover your place in our community of faith.

The purpose of prophecy is motivation not speculation. Understanding the times and the prophecies should be a source of hope that produces perseverance, purity, preparation, and proclamation of the gospel. How do recent events align with Bible prophecy? What might it reveal about the 2nd Coming of Christ? And how should the thought of Christ’s return impact your life?

Highlights from events and ministries of Calvary Nexus through this past year.

Christmas should be the most wonderful time of the year. It can be a special time for family, traditions, and giving and receiving of gifts. Most of us have at least a few gifts that we’d like to receive, and most of us realize that none of those gifts are likely to bring real satisfaction. Yet, is there a gift that is so amazing that you could discover true contentment that would not depend on yo...

Where can you find contentment? This is the great philosophical quest of the ages. The world’s two primary paths are: The pursuit of sensual pleasure (e.g. food, drink, sex) or indifference to pleasure and pain. Neither way provides contentment, but there is a way to experience true contentment that we’ll discover…

Following Jesus changes everything. You are a new person in Christ [2 Cor. 5:17]. As soon as you receive Jesus, your position with God changes. Yet, in practice it takes time to stop living like unbelievers and start living like followers of Jesus. Today we learn what that looks like, and how to do it.

As followers of Jesus, we have each been given a unique calling and have been equipped to fulfill that calling through distinct gifts He has given us. When we discover our calling and use our gifts, the Church is edified and we are satisfied.

Followers of Jesus need to grow in their appreciation for their position in Christ which will impact how they live for Christ. This appreciation is related to experiencing the love of Christ. In this study, we discover how to experience the love of Christ.

Followers of Christ are part of the most amazing entity ever imagined – The Church, and are to experience Jesus together. When that position is experienced in practice, the love displayed by God’s people for God, other believers, and neighbors generally is incredibly attractive.

Spiritual life is to be lived in community. God created us for community with Him and others. We are hard-wired for community, but our culture is disconnected from God and others. Jesus removes barriers between you and God, and you and others so that you can experience community with God and others. Today we’ll discover how and why to experience true community in Christ.

God’s Word reveals there are two different kinds of life: physical and spiritual. Because of sin, every human being is born with physical life, but comes into this world spiritually dead. Only God can make a spiritually dead person alive, and the only way to spiritual life is through faith in Jesus Christ. God has a plan for those He makes alive in Christ.

Calvary Nexus Young Adult Pastor Mark Chua teaches from Ephesians.

This week we focus on the blessings of being in Christ. We are reminded that it is God’s nature to bless His people so that they will be content. There are many people who aren’t content, or are only content when their material circumstances appear favorable. This study help us to appropriate and appreciate our blessings in Christ, and be content despite circumstances.

“In Christ” is used 27 times in the book of Ephesians. Christ is in us and we are in Him. Believers reside in the world and in Christ. Like a scuba diver in an alien environment, the world can be a challenging environment, and a wonderful place. How can you grow in Christ in a place like Ephesus or your community?

The King’s commission, or Great Commission, provides the essence of the mission for all of Jesus’ disciples. Throughout Matthew’s gospel we’ve discovered Jesus’ invitation to become citizens of His kingdom. The values and benefits of the kingdom of heaven, or kingdom of God, have been contrasted with the values and benefits of this world. God’s kingdom is available to those who choose to make Jesu...

The Resurrection of Jesus Christ is the sign that He said would confirm that He is the Messiah. As we consider the resurrection, we can respond in different ways. God desires that we respond with devotion and faith so that we can experience joy.

Imagine the disciples in the midst of Jesus’ arrest, trials, and crucifixion. All of Jesus’ promises, all the prophecies, and all the anticipation related to the Coming Messiah was likely forgotten or obscured. They were frightened, confused, grieved, and hopeless. Similarly, we face difficult circumstances that seem hopeless. As we contemplate Christ crucified we'll discover five reasons to have...
