Accountability isn't about control, it's about community and commitment. It's how we walk together in grace, truth, and humility. Honest community creates space for restoration, support, and growth.

It restores us when we fall, helps carry one another's burdens, and keeps us humble before God. When we live in honest, grace-filled relationships rather than hiding and shame, we not only grow stronger in Jesus, but we show the watching world the beauty of the gospel.

What does true worship really look like? In this message, Charles Zimmerman unpacks a powerful truth: worship isn't a song or a moment, it's a whole-life response to who God is and what he's done. Through stories across Scripture, he challenges common misconceptions and offers a biblical definition: seeing God accurately and responding appropriately. From Moses and Peter to the Samaritan woman and Lydia in Acts 16, worship begins with a moment of recognition—catching a glimpse of God's holiness, grace, or power—and leads to a personal response, whether it's surrender, obedience, or awe. The rhythm of worship is part of our Three Relationships Discipleship model as we grow in relationship with God. It's not just about music or a church service. Worship begins by creating space to see God accurately—so we can respond appropriately, with our whole lives.

Are you tired from the relentless pace of life, burdened by responsibilities that never seem to let up? In this message, Brad McKerley shares the comforting invitation of Jesus in Matthew 11, an invitation to step into the rhythm of rest. This kind of rest goes deeper than a nap or a vacation. It's the soul-level peace that comes from coming to Jesus with our weariness, exchanging our heavy burdens for his light yoke, and learning to walk in step with him. In the book of Acts, we see the early church live out this rhythm, even in chaos and suffering, because they trusted the one who leads. The rhythm of rest is part of our Three Relationships Discipleship model, how we grow in relationship with God by pausing regularly to declare that he, not productivity, rules our lives. Jesus offers more than a pause, he offers a person, a path, and a peace that changes everything.

In the book of Acts there is an ever present setting of prayer in the early church. Prayer was the way that normal, imperfect people connected with an almighty, powerful God. Prayer was the starting point for when decisions had to be made, for when hardships were faced and for every other part of the church's everyday life. In this sermon we continue to look at the rhythms of Three Relationships Discipleship as we take a look at prayer. Prayer is talking, listening and responding to God. We will take a look at how the early church was a praying church. And in this examination we will learn that the church today needs to be a praying church as well.

In Acts 16, we see how one Spirit-led moment of engagement helped launch the church in Europe.

In this message, Carlos Velez unpacks the rhythm of engagement: welcoming others into your life and intentionally participating in theirs. It's not about having the perfect words or a polished plan. It's about being present, living with intention, and trusting God to do what only he can. Three Relationships is our discipleship model at Calvary Church. It's centered on growing in relationship with God, the church, and the world. It's not a to-do list. It's about living in step with Jesus through real love, trust, and purpose.

Sharing your faith doesn't require a stage, just a willing heart.

In Acts 8, Philip responds without hesitation, reveals the truth about Jesus, and repeats the mission wherever he goes. If your life has been changed by Jesus, you already have everything you need to help someone else meet him, too.

How Christians Should Live Differently

Everyone's got an opinion on how you should live, but what's God's take on it? Dr. Brad McKerley ends our study of Romans 12 by reminding us to love radically and live redemptively, even though the culture around us might disagree, because of the powerful and sacrificial way Jesus has loved and lived for us. Watch the full service: https://youtube.com/live/TZkQc2AMrng BIBLE VERSES IN THIS EPISODE: Romans 12:9-21 THIS SERIES: A Transformed Life New year, new resolutions, right? We try to change our habits or situations, but let's be honest—once the motivation fades, so does our effort, leaving us feeling stuck like nothing really changed. Sound familiar? Sometimes, we treat our faith the same way. But living as a Christian isn't just about checking off your New Year's resolutions. It's about something much deeper. Together, we'll study Romans 12 and explore how to break free from surface-level behavior modification and step into a transformed life that's all about Jesus and His love.
