We plan. We dream. We personally stamp God’s approval on it without giving much thought. Then, we are surprised when reality has falls short of our expectations. Things didn’t go according to plan. On Sunday, July 24, 2022, Pastor Jordan Moore takes a look at the wise men in the Christmas story and gives us three ways to combat disappointment.

Unfortunately, it’s often the bad times that our defines character instead of the good. Unexpected hardship, unplanned conflict, the uncertainty of the future…it’s how we respond to these surprises in life that reveal who we truly are inside. And your decisions today create a person of character for tomorrow’s surprises. On Sunday, July 17, 2022, Pastor Chad Gilligan begins a new sermon series, Ch...

Happy one moment; depressed the next. Top of the world; deepest despair. If you find your emotions constantly changing, it may be because you are allowing outside circumstances to dictate your happiness instead of the condition of your heart. On Sunday, July 10, 2022, Calvary welcomes guest speaker, Dr. Tim Gilligan, as he speaks on How to Be Glad. For more Dr. Tim Gilligan, follow him on Facebook...

When we call on God, He moves on our behalf. Even our own American history is rife with examples of God answering prayer. But perhaps now, more than ever, we need God to move. We need a miraculous showing around the world, in our nation, and in our community. On Sunday, July 3, 2022, Pastor Chad Gilligan encourages us to stop and pray and see what God can do.

Do you feel stuck in life? Like you don’t know what to do? You only know that you don’t want to be here. You want to be somewhere else...anywhere else. But it’s hopeless…you are in exile. On Sunday, June 26, 2022, Pastor Chad concludes his Family Tree sermon series and looks at what we should do when facing exile.

For over 300 years, kings ruled over Israel and Judah. Even in Jesus’ family tree, there were those who served God and those who rejected Him. But few could say that they experienced both God’s blessings, and then lost them all like King Uzziah. On Sunday, June 19, 2022, Pastor Chad Gilligan preaches a special Father’s Day message about how to live like a king.

Everyone is running. Some people run towards money. Others toward fame or success. But as Christians, we are called to fix our eyes on Jesus, persevere, and run the race towards heaven. On Sunday, June 12, 2022, Pastor Chad Gilligan gives us Three Cheers for Fellow Runners.

We can receive blessings from God; and we can also lose them. Our temptations, our thoughts, our actions could cost us everything--every good thing God has ever given to us. We are the biggest danger to ourselves. On Sunday June 5, 2022, Pastor Chad Gilligan shows us how to sustain our blessings.

You can be exactly where God wants to you to be and still find yourself in a storm. God never promised that it would be smooth sailing in life. There will be storms. There will be disappointments. There will be difficult times. But He did promise to be with you every step of the way. On Sunday, May 29, 2022, Pastor Chad Gilligan shows us how to find faith in the middle of a storm.

If you went to a "Jesus" family reunion, who would you meet? What lessons would you learn? The decisions you make and what you do, not only affects you, but your children and generations to come. On Sunday, May 22, 2022, Pastor Chad paints a picture of life lessons to learn from Rahab, Boaz, Ruth, Jesse, and David.

You don’t have to be perfect to be a friend of God. He knows your weaknesses. He knows your flaws. But He also sees your faithfulness. On Sunday, May 15, 2022, Pastor Chad Gilligan continues Family Tree, a sermon series about the genealogy of Jesus, and takes a look at the life of Abraham.

Life is messy. It can make you feel discouraged, unworthy, unloved. Even if everything seems to be ok on the outside, you know that it isn’t all right on the inside. But hope can come from the most unlikely of places. And God can redeem even the unredeemable.  On Sunday, May 8, 2022, Pastor Chad gives a special Mother’s Day message about Five Unforgettable Moms from Jesus’ Family Tree.

Everyone has a past. And no one is too low for redemption. Even when you look at the genealogy of Jesus, you find the lowest of low: a murderer, a liar, a prostitute. Yet, their bloodlines are tied to the Son of God. And no matter who you are or what you’ve done, Jesus also sees you and calls you to redemption and a better life. On Sunday, May 1, 2022, Pastor Chad Gilligan starts his new sermon se...

God always keeps His promises. If He says He is coming back, then He is. We may not know the day or the hour, but we can be confident that the King is coming and we need to be prepared. On Sunday, April 24, 2022, Calvary welcomes back Pastor Bill McGinnis as he challenges us to pack our bags!

The Resurrection is more than a fairy tale or anecdote. It’s historical. It happened. Proof ripples across space and time.  Power and transformation reaches from that day (almost 2000 years ago) to today. Jesus rose from the dead, and with that resurrection, He offers us the same. He offers Eternal Life. On Sunday, April 17, 2022, Pastor Chad Gilligan gives a special Easter message, revealing...

Too often, we are so focused on everything we gain from Good Friday that we forget that this day isn’t about us. It’s about Jesus. It’s about His suffering and sacrifice. It’s about everything He lost. It’s about His slow, agonizing death. On Good Friday, April 15, 2022, Pastor Chad Gilligan takes time to remember what’s most important.

If you need wisdom, there’s the Holy Spirit. If you need peace, the Holy Spirit. Unity? Power? How to be a Christian living in a secular world? The Holy Spirit is there for you and ready to help guide you no matter what you face. That is, if you are willing to seek Him and His anointing. On Sunday, April 10, 2022, Pastor Chad Gilligan concludes his sermon series, A New Season, and talks about the...

We have excuses for everything…especially when we don’t want to do something. It doesn’t matter if we know we should do it. It doesn’t matter if we know we are being disobedient to God. If we don’t want to do it, we will find a way to get out of it. And to avoid feeling guilty, the excuse is our perfect scapegoat. On Sunday, April 3, 2022, Pastor Chad Gilligan challenges us that it’s time for no m...

You have an enemy: unseen, lurking in the shadows, pulling strings. His only objective: to kill, maim, and destroy. Yet, unless we prepare ourselves against it, he will succeed. Unless we recognize his tactics, we will see our defenses crumble and fall. But God is faithful in all things. God has provided us weapons to take on the enemy’s attacks. On Sunday, March 27, 2022, Pastor Chad Gilligan giv...

News, social media, celebrities, influencers, family members, and friends… the list goes on. Everyone wants to tell you what’s right, what’s wrong, what’s acceptable, and what’s not. With so many voices and opinions, it’s easy to develop spiritual amnesia and forget Who is our source of Truth. On Sunday, March 20, 2022, Pastor Chad Gilligan gives us six questions to ask to find clarity when cultur...

Plans ruined. Obstacles block every path. Every prayer seems to go unanswered. What can you do when it feels like your world is falling apart and God doesn’t care? Know that God remains faithful. Even when you don’t see it, He has a plan. On Sunday, March 6, 2022, Pastor Chad gives us two questions to ask ourselves when God doesn’t do what we want.

Even when we are walking according to God’s will, the road isn’t always easy. If we want to move forward into a new season, we must first face the obstacles in our path. Sometimes it’s other people. But more often than not, it’s usually our own weaknesses and insecurities that get in our way and hinder what God is trying to do in our lives.  On Sunday, February 27, 2022, Pastor Chad Gilligan...

The Bible is full of ordinary men living ordinary lives. Until they decided to put their faith in God, and then God used them to do extraordinary things. If we want to be used by God, it begins with faith. On Sunday, February 20, 2022, Pastor Chad Gilligan gives us 8 simple steps on how to be used by God.

We make decisions every day. Some are big, others small. Some affect today: others affect us years from now. But no matter what decision or dilemma we face, we need God’s wisdom if we hope to succeed. On Sunday, February 13, 2022, Pastor Chad Gilligan speaks on the importance of wisdom in leadership.

On Sunday, February 6, 2022, Pastor Chad Gilligan gives us four conduits of courage as we begin a New Season.
