How's Your Hearing? | Robbie HiltonThe church was born with the Spirit. Are you able to hear what God is speaking to you through all of the confusion the world is throwing your way. After hearing what God is trying to say, can you believe it?
We look at 4 fathers of scripture who did it wrong, who did it okay, and who did things right. Then we look at our heavenly father Jesus and His example He sets for us.
In this impactful message, we challenge the modern church's tendency to magnify the devil more than God. Through scripture and practical insight, we uncover how fear-based language undermines faith, and how the finished work of Christ calls us to speak and live from victory.This teaching will shift your perspective on spiritual warfare, expose the subtle ways we glorify the enemy, and help you realign your mindset with the authority and freedom found in Jesus.

We can begin to change the script of our lives whenever we see ourselves the way God sees us.
Matthew 1 opens with the genealogy of Jesus, highlighting not only the fathers of the faith but also several unexpected mothers in His lineage. Women like Tamar and Bathsheba had complicated, even scandalous stories—yet God intentionally included them in the bloodline of the Messiah. Their broken circumstances didn't disqualify them; instead, God redeemed their stories to fulfill His redemptive plan. In the same way, God can use the parts of your story that feel messy or painful to bring about new life—not just for you, but for those around you as well.

This sermon is about how we can grow in maturity to get what we want ourselves without hurting other people in the process. How can we get what we want the right way and in the timing that God has for us?
Under the Influence | Robbie Hilton | Calvary Church
Shift your focus from the worries of your life to what God is presenting to you right now.
In this sermon, we explore the idea that too often, we approach God with a laundry list of our wants and needs, directing Him on what we believe should be done. However, God is not our servant—He is our guide. Instead of telling God what we think we need, we are called to humbly ask Him to reveal the next steps for our lives. True faith isn't about presenting our own plan; it's about trusting Him to direct our path. This message encourages us to shift our focus from demanding answers to seeking His wisdom in every situation.
In this sermon, we explore how God desires to use your future self to fulfill His purpose, even when your past feels confusing or painful. Life's challenges and setbacks can sometimes make it hard to see beyond the present, but God is always working behind the scenes, preparing you for what's ahead. Join us as we dive into Scripture to understand how letting go of past disappointments and embracing God's vision for your future can help everything "make sense" in His perfect plan.
What does it look like to wrestle with what God wants for you? What happens when we follow God's plan for our lives instead of abandoning His word and the Holy Spirit's call to action?
In today's sermon, "Joy in the Journey",we explore how to find lasting joy not just in the destination, but in the everyday moments of our spiritual walk. Drawing from Scripture and real-life stories, we'll reflect on how God's presence and purpose can transform our challenges, setbacks, and triumphs into opportunities for joy. Join us as we discover how to embrace the journey with faith, hope, and a heart full of gratitude.

Pride is the biggest thing that gets in the way of our relationship with God and others. Let us never forget how we got to where we are in the first place.
The Reign of His Peace | Robbie Hilton
Jesus is the fulfillment of everything in the Old Testament.
In this powerful video, we explore how Jesus Christ fulfills the ultimate purpose of the Tabernacle and the Temple in Scripture, becoming the true dwelling place of God among His people. Through His life, death, and resurrection, Jesus replaces the physical temple and brings the presence of God directly to us. We uncover the profound meaning of Christ as the new Tabernacle—His body, broken for us, becomes the holy place where heaven touches earth. We'll examine the rich biblical themes that point to Jesus as the fulfillment of God's promise to dwell with His people, and how His crucifixion and the judgment on Jerusalem in 70 AD marked the end of the old covenant system, inaugurating a new era where believers are now the temple of the Holy Spirit. When we are in Christ, we are in the holy place. Heaven has been brought to earth, and through His sacrifice, we are invited into intimate fellowship with God, no longer needing a physical temple. Join us as we unpack the deep theological truths that reveal Jesus as the true Tabernacle, and how His work on the cross transforms our understanding of God's presence in the world today. #Jesus #Tabernacle #Temple #HeavenOnEarth #NewCovenant #Crucifixion #70AD #GodWithUs #BibleStudy #ChristianTheology
Drawing inspiration from the life and teachings of Jesus Christ, Pastor Richard explains how Christ not only paid the price for our sins but also modeled forgiveness, grace, and unconditional love. Just as Christ canceled our debt of sin, we are called to let go of the things that hold us captive—especially fear and grudges. By forgiving others and trusting in God's provision, we release the power of fear and debt over our lives, and walk in the freedom Christ has already made possible for us.
This sermon explores the concept of relational death and its connection to sin and the law, particularly through the lens of Paul's teachings in Romans. Here's a summary of the key points: The Law as the Cause of Death: The sermon begins by emphasizing that the law, in a spiritual sense, is what causes someone to be "dead." This doesn't refer to physical death, but to relational death—being separated from God. Paul's letter to the Romans explains that the law reveals sin, and without it, we wouldn't recognize our need for salvation. Romans 7:9 is referenced, where Paul says, "I was once alive apart from the law, but when the commandment came, sin came alive and I died." Relational Death in Adam's Fall: The idea of relational death is tied to Adam's disobedience in the Garden of Eden. When God told Adam that eating from the tree would lead to death, it was not a physical death but a relational one—Adam's sin caused a break in his relationship with God, casting him outside of God's covenant. The Death Jesus Conquered: This sermon argues that the primary death Jesus came to conquer was not physical death, but relational death. Through Jesus' atonement and sacrifice, believers now enter into a new covenant with God, one that does not require the rituals of animal sacrifices or strict adherence to the Old Testament law. Jesus' death and resurrection provide a way to restore the broken relationship with God, offering a new way of relating to Him without the need for the law to define that relationship. The New Covenant in Christ: The sermon highlights that through Christ's sacrifice, Christians are freed from the law's power to condemn. This new covenant is based on grace and faith, offering believers forgiveness and a restored relationship with God without the burden of the Old Testament law.In essence, this sermon teaches that relational death—the separation from God due to sin—was the primary issue that Jesus came to address. While physical death is important, the real victory in Christ is the restoration of our connection with God, which had been severed by sin and the law. #RelationalDeath #NewCovenant #Romans7 #ChristianSermon #BiblicalTeaching #JesusAtonement #Grace #Faith #RestorationInChrist
Today, we reflect on the significance of prayer, noting how Jesus frequently withdrew to commune with the Father. In His example, we find a call to patiently await the blessings He has in store for us. Yet, in our eagerness, we often struggle with this waiting. There are moments when we are called to walk in faith and other times when we must embrace the art of waiting with faith.
We know what it's like to worship when everything is going right around us and in the world, but do we know how to worship in the wilderness? Let's look at what the Bible says the Israelites did on their exodus out of Egypt and the parallels it makes to the New Covenant. Do we know what it's like to not go back to the old way? How can we set forth in the New Covenant relationship Jesus established for us.
In this message with Pastor Robbie Hilton we explore the profound relationship between the Old Covenant and the New Covenant. In the Old Testament, we examine how the Israelites were tempted to cling to the Old Covenant, despite God's call to move forward. In the New Testament, the book of Hebrews conveys to not look back at the Old Covenant but to embrace in the New Covenant established by Jesus Christ. Join us as we uncover the significance of embracing the new covenant in Christ, the transformative power of faith, and the power of what Jesus said about Heaven and Earth passing away. Whether you're seeking a deeper understanding of scripture or looking for encouragement to move forward in your faith, this sermon is for you. Don't miss this opportunity to reflect on what it truly means to leave the past behind and embrace the new life God has for us. 0:00 What is the Law? 2:15 The Law Can't be Separated 4:00 The Two Covenants // Figurative 7:30 The Heavens and The Earth 9:10 When Will Heaven and Earth Pass Away? 10:10 What About Judaism Today? 11:05 Judgement Language 11:50 New Covenant and New Creation 13:18 When Did the Law pass away? 16:19 How to Enter Rest 20:33 Who are The New Heavens and Earth? 22:38 New Covenant has no End 25:33 When Did They Enter Into Rest? 27:39 The New Heavens and New Earth are Now 31:01 When Does Eternal Life Begin? 32:10 Christ is the End of the Law
