The Calvary Cast

On this episode of the Calvary Cast, Graham and Jess discuss how the puritans though soccer was a devilish sport, talk about how each listener of the Calvary Cast needs to make a decision in their heart to be a Calvary Cast+ subscriber and talk about the importance of preparing ourselves for the Lord's Day gathering.

On this episode of The Calvary Cast, Jess and Graham sit down and discuss an idea which has become rather ubiquitous not only in the broader culture, but also in the church.

We hope this podcast helps you understand more fully the forgiveness you have in Christ, as...

On this episode of The Calvary Cast, Graham and Jess, both plagued with the common cold, ramble through the introduction before jumping into the topic of the day, Jesus' statement in Matthew 22:14, "Many are called but few are chosen."

After a short bit of banter at the beginning (in which Jess is again surprised at how abruptly the intro song comes to an end), Jess and Graham have a conversation which builds upon Jess' sermon from Matthew 24, which you can listen to here: https://www.sermonaudio.com/sermoninfo.asp?

What's the best way to end the worship service? On this episode, Graham and Jess sit down and seek to answer that question. Hint: we don't close our services by saying, "Let's pray so we can get out of here."
