Everyone wants good things to happen to them. Everyone wants God’s favor in their life. But how you get God’s blessings may not be what you expect. On Sunday, October 9, 2022, Pastor Chad Gilligan gives us three ways you can build the blessing of God in your life.

After so many years on Earth, you got things figured out. There are certain rules we all live by. Certain societal guidelines we have to follow. But Jesus has come to say, things aren’t what they seem. If you want blessings in your life, you will have to follow Heavenly guidelines not earthly ones. It’s time to Flip the Script. On Sunday, October 2, 2022, Pastor Chad Gilligan begins his new sermon series and preaches from Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount.

The call is simple. It’s remained the same for almost 2,000 years. And it’s for everyone. Today, Jesus is calling you to “Follow Me.” But will you choose to obey? On Sunday, September 25, 2022, Pastor Chad concludes his Follow Me sermon series and wraps up Missions Week with a powerful sermon about God's calling for your life.

There is no bi-citizenship when it comes to our spiritual lives. We all must make a choice. Will we choose to be citizens of the kingdom of God? Children and followers of the Most High? Or citizens to the world? And remain slaves to our sin and selfish desires? On Sunday, September 11, 2022, Pastor Chad Gilligan challenges us to examine our hearts and decide today which kingdom you will choose.

Asking the right question can change the trajectory of your life. It can drive you to action or force you to question your motives. It could define your faith; or it could define you. On Sunday, September 4, 2022, Pastor Matthew Ford, challenges us with one simple question: Why are You Here?

Every person faces temptation. Our weakness and desires may be different, but that urge to comply remains the same. And sometimes what feels good or what’s convenient seems more enticing than doing what’s right. On Sunday, August 28, 2022, Pastor Chad Gilligan takes a look at the Temptation of Jesus in the Wilderness and shows us what we can do when facing temptation.

Too often, Christians consider Jesus’ baptism a brief footnote in His story. But when we overlook His baptism, we overlook prophecy fulfilled. We overlook Jesus’ inherited power and divine authority. And we overlook His call to obedience, asking each of us to follow in His example. On Sunday, August 21, 2022, Pastor Chad Gilligan speaks on the blessing of Jesus’ baptism and what it means for us today.

Jesus calls His disciples to “Follow Me.” But what does that mean for us today? It begins with preparing our hearts for God to show up. On Sunday, August 14, 2022, Pastor Chad Gilligan returns to the book of Matthew and speaks on the important role of John the Baptist. 

Are you ready for the new school year? Even if you don’t have students in your home, God has called all of us to be His hands and feet. And supporting our local schools is as easy as ABC and 123. On Sunday, August 7, 2022, Calvary’s Serve Director, Leah Lorann, challenges us to go Back to the Basics to support teachers, students, and families this school year.

Everyone thinks it. “At least, I’m not as bad as that guy.” But you don’t have to be the most reviled man in history to share hints of his character. You don’t have to kill a man to harbor hate in your heart or be a con artist to be manipulative. And you don’t have to a king to be controlling. On Sunday, July 31, 2022, Pastor Chad challenges us to examine our own hearts for hints of Herod.

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, Christmas in July, and gives us 5 things to do when life surprises you.

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.

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.
