Welcome to Calvary Georgetown Divide's podcasts, featuring Pastor Jay McCarl and other excellent speakers.
Pastor Jeremy continues his in-depth study through the Minor Prophets—this week, Zechariah rebukes the now returned-exiles, then gives them a vision of their distant—and marvelous future…
God is a great Rabbi—answering a question with another question. His ‘answer’ to His people’s question about how He wanted them to serve Him is one of life’s game-changers—especially for every Christian…
Zechariah asked all the right questions—and God’s angel gave him the perfect answers—which are the answers to some of our greatest unasked questions, too…
Paul ran his Christian life to win both the race and the prize—but of his many companions in ministry, one served well and dropped out; another failed miserably, but finished well. Which are you…?
In this short chapter the Prophet Zechariah wrote one of the most powerful verses in Scripture—in fact, it defines everything about our own ‘power’ to serve God. A must-listen…
Here is the sum-total of why Paul followed Jesus—and why he suffered so much to provoke all Christians to do the same. This remains the game-changer of Paul's entire ministry…
The Prophet Zechariah begins to reveal ancient Israel’s coming Messiah in Pastor Jeremy’s latest study through the Minor Prophets. Enjoy.
Paul told the Philippians he wanted to know ‘the fellowship of sharing in Christ’s sufferings.' Throughout his ministry he endured terrible sufferings—so why would he desire more of it, and to revel in it? It's here that Paul declares the great and seemingly crazy yearning of Christians—one that's been horrendously misunderstood for centuries…
The story of the Biblical matriarch Rebekah has a delightful start—and a scandalous end. How could this happen to a such major player in the story of God’s people? The same way it happens to far too many Christians today…
The Prophet Zechariah picks up where the Prophets Haggai and Ezekiel left off—and begins unveiling the future of God’s people and their Land. Here it comes…!
A powerful and provocative look into Haggai’s amazing prophecy to God’s downtrodden—yet neglectful—people. You will be blessed.
A literal Resurrection of the Dead was taught throughout the Bible—especially by Jesus and Paul. It was the ‘blessed hope' of every believing Christian in the early church—but not so much by churches today. What changed? What are the consequences? And why should we care? A powerful provocation to remember where we're going…
Jay’s latest update on the current Middle East war—and the next one…! (June 22, 2025)
The finish line of Paul's entire life—that for which he sacrificed everything—country, kindred, credentials, honor, comfort, liberty and life itself—was that he might know Christ. This was the death knell of religion and ‘churchianity’; of self-centeredness and pride. It’s why we are Christians…
Straight out of today’s headlines, Zephaniah prophesies where Israel’s future is going—a true revelation of God’s mind and heart…
Israel’s War with Iran—where do things stand? What does it mean for us? What comes next? A quick update…
The Galileans were taught terrible, false things about God by their own religious leaders. Then Jesus came along and cleared it up for them (and us)—that our Heavenly Father is greater than we know—and more loving than we ever imagined…
Zephaniah prophecies against Jerusalem—even God’s own people in God’s own city—can (and do) revolt against Him. Here’s what God has to say about it…
Paul’s warning to the Philippians was a caution to all followers of Jesus—that we’re destined to be like Him and with Him, and that all our earthly qualifications to do so are…dung. (Rated PG)
We have the very words of God at our fingertips—to read, to understand—and obey…
Pastor Jeremy continues his excellent in-depth study through Zephaniah. Enjoy!
Zephaniah rebukes Judah for their complacency about God—and reveals a terrifying vision of the end of the world…
Paul told the Philippian church, ‘Rejoice!’—then reminded them, as God’s people, just how much they need reminding—and why. An unusually potent message that hits very close to home…
Pastor Jeremy continues his in-depth study through Zephaniah—a short book by one of the most influential Old Testament prophets. Check it out…!
When Paul sang the praises of Timothy and Epaphroditus to the Philippians, he also defined what it meant to be a Christian. It became their resumes. Ours, too…
Zephaniah was the only prophet descended from royalty—and it made him the perfect messenger to the king of Judah and God’s errant people. Big insights from Pastor Jeremy…
Paul was about to send two friends on a dangerous journey to Philippi. Not surprising. What qualified these men to be his messengers? Surprising! And their qualities challenge all Christians everywhere. A sermon that digs up a few hidden gems…
The prophet Habakkuk uttered some of the most amazing prophecies in the Old Testament, and in only three chapters—and then his little book became a glorious musical…
The prophet Samuel learned early on about needing for an open heart for whatever the Lord revealed—and this time it would make the ears of all Israel tingle…
Paul wanted more than assurances that his ministry to the Philippians counted for something in Heaven—he hoped to boast about it, too. This begs a powerful question: how does God measure our successes and failures in eternity? The answer is bigger than the question…
The events of the Resurrection of Jesus were complicated and misunderstood—for a while—but a few weeks later, it would define life itself. What was God doing? Here it is…
Nahum was the prophet God chose to seal the doom of the Assyrians. They repented because of Jonah, but hundred years later they returned to their grotesque ways. It serves well as God’s warning from the distant past to the people of a decadent future…
The multitudes celebrating Passover that day in Jerusalem believed (for the moment) that Jesus was the right Messiah—but they didn't get the Messiah right—and they didn't notice how small they'd actually made Him. A Palm Sunday sermon (John 12)
Pastor Jeremy plunges into the prophecies of Nahum—which continues where Jonah left off…!
Pastor Brit digs into Paul’s show-trial before Roman Governor Felix—and unearths a valuable lesson for every follower of Jesus…
Pastor Brit looks at Paul’s show-trial before Roman Governor Felix—and unearths a valuable lesson for every follower of Jesus…
Paul commanded the Philippians to ‘do everything without complaining or arguing’. It seems like a simple order, but it’s far more important than it sounds. The world is changed by our example, not our opinions…. (Philippians 2:14-15)
Paul told the Philippians to work out their salvation with ‘fear and trembling’—but what did he mean by that—what kind of fear could possibly be good? And what about that trembling? A must listen…
Mary, Martha and Jesus—it was the perfect combination for a lesson in devotion and servanthood. Enjoy!
Paul was a courageous man of God, but he also despaired of life when ministry became unbearable. Here’s what he said about it—and what happened… (2 Cor. 1:8)
G.K. Chesterton wrote, ‘The Christian ideal has not been tried and found wanting; it has been found difficult and left untried.’ But what is the ideal? The modern church seems to have taken a different path—and there’s a way back… (Phil. 2:8-11)

Sunday’s Sermon attacks one of the Bible’s great controversies: Paul commanded the Philippians to ‘work out your salvation with fear and trembling…’ But how can this be—especially in light of God’s indescribable grace? The answer is so simple—even offensive—especially for folks who follow Jesus on their own terms…
Following Jesus—what does it really look like? Simply put, like a servant. So what did that look like? Here we go… (Part 3 of a deep dive into one the most epic passages in Scripture.)
Pastor Jeremy continues his journey through the Minor Prophets—follow along, as he plunges into the prophecies of Micah.
Following Jesus—what does that really look like? C.S. Lewis said, “The church exists for no other purpose but to draw men into Christ, to make them little Christs… God became man for no other purpose. It is even doubtful, you know, whether the whole universe was created for any other reason.” What Paul said and Jesus did … Continue reading ‘Christians with Attitude’ PART 2 →
Mary’s final recorded words in Scripture were perhaps her most profound and important—as were Jesus’ final (recorded) words to Peter—and they were nearly the same. And for us today, nothing could be more important. One of Pastor Jeremy’s most powerful sermons…!
Israeli and Israel expert Ronnie gives an up-to-date briefing on breaking developments in the Middle East, followed by a vigorous Q & A (unedited—questions were not mic’d, causing brief silences in the recording).
