Kalamo Church Messages - from Pastor Jerry to Pastor Dale

The Apostle Paul has had a huge impact on the Christian faith, second only to Jesus Christ! As a human, Paul has flaws. But his dedication to Jesus is an inspiration to us all! I’m sure that you will find this 6-week series to be a refreshing change of pace and today’s focus on immorality and love to be interesting and helpful!

I think we all get aggravated or even angry when we feel that we have been wronged or slighted. People like our boss, neighbor, classmate can be the offender. Our own family can be the worst! If we’re not careful that aggravation or anger can start to grow and fester. The Bible calls this the root of bitterness. There is a cure! That’s what our message is about this week. At Kalamo, “Loving God an...

I think we all enjoy getting those special gifts. You know – the ones where somebody actually puts some thought into it. There is a very special gift that we all receive from God, the gift of the Presence of God’s Holy Spirit! The Holy Spirit goes by many names; the Holy Advocate, the Holy Companion, the Comforter, the Councilor, the Healer. The Holy Spirit is one way that God desires to help us l...

I think we all probably wished that we would know everything whenever we grew up! I know I still do! God has promised the constant presence of the Holy Helper-Companion-Advocate in our lives to help guide us through life! This week at Kalamo we are talking about the mighty way that God delivered on His promise! That’s what our message is about this week. At Kalamo, “Loving God and sharing His Good...

Our lives seemed to be filled with distractions! We start out in one direction that we need to go, then get pulled in a dozen other directions that may not be as helpful. It wears us down and pulls us away from things which deserve our attention. The hard part is that many of our choices are not between good and bad, but rather between good and better. Then there are cell phones! That’s what our m...

It just seems to be human nature to accumulate stuff! Stuff around our house, garage, farms, school, you name it! We even seem to accumulate emotional stuff like grudges, prejudices, even our preferences. The sad part is that we tend to accumulate stuff that is not helpful, it fills us up and weighs us down! It may seem obvious, but it’s better to have less stuff that doesn’t matter weighing us do...

Families are a special kind of relationship. We may think of family as parents and kids, uncles, aunts and cousins, or even best friends. Any way that we think of families they are special! Families can be the most awesome source of joy and support. Or sometimes they get all messed up and become the exact opposite! God blesses the messes of our family and gives us the ability to turbo-upgrade our...

Relationships are a lot like the air we breathe. Everywhere we turn, everything we do seems to involve a relationship of some kind. Our relationships are pretty much the key for a happy life. Sometimes our relationships are in a bit of a mess. Or maybe downright painful! Jesus gives us guidance and the strength to transform our relationships from ordinary or painful into incredibly joyful and sust...

I don’t know about you, but sometimes it seems like everything is in a real mess! Whether it is the world around us, or in our own lives. And that mess creates anxiety and robs us of our joy of living. But when we have confidence that things will be ok, we gain a sense of peace in our hearts. Jesus helps us gain that sense of peace.  That’s what our message is about this week. At Kalamo, “Lov...

I think all of us enjoy being close to someone we love and who loves and cares about us. It gives us a sense of warmth and security. I have come to feel that God also wants to have a close and loving relationship with us. We just celebrated the awesome happenings of the Easter resurrection of our Lord and Savior Jesus. Jesus is standing at our door knocking, waiting for us to open our hearts and r...

Easter Sunday is here. It’s easy to think of Easter in terms of family dinners or Easter Egg hunts or candy and so on. Easter is a celebration of a very powerful message. It is free and it doesn’t hurt. The Easter message is about God’s love for us, that was translated into action! That action was His Son, Jesus, coming to be our Lord, Savior and best friend! Easter is about our Risen Savior who h...

The Pledge of Allegiance is something that we all learned as young people. It’s about making a commitment or promise to something, like our flag and country. When we pray the Lord’s Prayer, we also are saying a Pledge of Allegiance to our God, Lord and Savior Jesus! That’s what our message is about this week. At Kalamo, “Loving God and sharing His Good News” is one of our core values. Check us out...

We all deal with temptations every day of our lives. Thankfully, most are little ones, like eating too much. But other times temptations have the potential of hurting ourselves or someone we love. And if our own weaknesses aren’t enough, we also have those who tempt us. Such as our friends egging us on, or Satan, the evil one. Satan is like a prowling lion, just waiting for just the right time to...

I think we all have a human tendency to hold a grudge, or keep “score” of when we have been wronged. But somehow each time we hold a grudge against someone it adds a weight to our own selves. After a while these weights become a heavy load. A heavy load that impacts our attitudes and robs us of our joy of living. Jesus helps us to cast off these grudges and to take away that load on our happiness....

When I was a kid, there was a bread called Wonder Bread. It seemed very special with a brightly colored package and a slogan about building bodies 12 ways! Jesus also has a very special bread that helps to build us in many more ways than Wonder Bread! That’s what our message is about this week. At Kalamo, “Loving God and sharing His Good News” is one of our core values. Check us out! At Kalamo we...

Usually we think of kingdoms as only a neat part of history. Walt Disney envisioned a Magic Kingdom of enchantment and fantasy. Jesus invites us to a real kingdom, His Kingdom. A place of love, support and peace! That’s what our message is about this week. At Kalamo, “Loving God and sharing His Good News” is one of our core values. Check us out! At Kalamo we ask questions about God and learn how g...

We all have fathers, but how each of us experience a father’s love is different. Most of the time these relationships are loving and intimate. Jesus had a loving and intimate relationship with His Father! We all can experience a Father’s love from our Heavenly Father through the grace of Jesus! That’s what our message is about this week. At Kalamo, “Loving God and sharing His Good News” is one of...

Every time we turn around it seems there is something that needs to   be renewed! Driver’s license,   insurance, club or association dues. The list is endless. Sometimes   they just seem to be an excuse for money. Other times there is a good reason. Our relationship with God is also one of those things that deserves   renewal! That’s what our message is &nbs...

There’s an old country song that talks about a “somebody done somebody wrong” song. When somebody has done us wrong sometimes our reaction is to hold a grudge. Because we hurt. We become trapped in our own toxic feelings. Jesus’ gift of forgiveness gives us the strength to share that forgiveness with others. That’s what our message is about this week. At Kalamo, “Caring for our Neighbors” is one o...

It’s nice to have a feeling of freedom. But when we have a broken bridge with someone – it weighs us down. Whether we are right, wrong, or just misunderstood. It robs us of our freedom. Admitting our mistakes or shortfalls is hard work, many times there is pain and shame involved. But after we have confessed – we regain our freedom from the feeling of weight and chains from that guilt. The awesome...

Sometimes our bridges with others are busted or in need of major repair. Just like the bridges in our national road system. We want to repair our bridges with others, but maybe we’re stuck and don’t know what to do. Sometimes our bridges are busted through no fault of our own. We need to cry out at the unfairness and frustration of it all! Our message this week talks about how expressing ourselves...
