Sunday morning sermon from November 13, 2022

BRO. RICHARD BROUGHT A SERMON TITLED "I HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY" AS HIS LAST SERMON AS THE PASTOR OF CALVARY. RECOUNTING A TIME WHEN PAUL PRESENTED WHAT VERY WELL COULD HAVE BEEN HIS LAST WORDS IN ACTS 26, BRO. RICHARD PRESENTED HIS PARTING WORDS WITH THE CHURCH. BRO. RICHARD WANTS NOT ONLY CALVARY BUT EVERY PERSON UNDER THE SOUND OF HIS VOICE TO KNOW THAT JESUS LOVES YOU, FORGIENESS CAN BE FOUND IN JESUS, AND THAT YOU CAN BE SAVED TODAY BY THE GRACE OF GOD WE KNOW THAT OUR FATHER'S PLANS ARE NOT AS OUR OWN, BUT WE ALSO KNOW THAT HIS PLANS ARE MUCH GREATER THAN ANY PLANS WE COULD MAKE. WE WISH THE BEST AND PRAY FOR BRO. RICHARD AND MRS. ANGIE AS THEY PREPARE TO SERVE THE LORD AT ANOTHER CHURCH!

THIS MORNING, BRO. RICHARD BROUGHT A MESSAGE TITLED "MANIFESTED FAITH." IN HEBREWS 11, THE AUTHOR RECOUNTS VARIOUS INDIVIDUALS THAT WERE USED TO ACCOMPLISH GREAT THINGS FOR GOD BECAUSE THEY HAD FAITH. THESE ARE JUST SOME OF THE EXAMPLES WE SEE IN SCRIPTURE THAT SHOW US HOW OUR FAITH CAN BE MANIFESTED INTO ACTION.

GOD IS ALWAYS ON TIME. HOWEVER, IT'S HARD FOR US TO ACCEPT THAT SOMETIMES, AND WE OFTEN DON'T UNDERSTAND HIS TIMING. WE SO OFTEN ARE CONCERNED WITH OUT PERSONAL PLANS AND TIMELINES THAT WE DON'T SEE HOW THE LORD'S TIMING IS ALWAYS RIGHT AND PERFECT.

SUNDAY MORNING SERMON FROM OCTOBER 9, 2022.

IN 1 JOHN 5:13, THE SCRIPTURE SAYS THAT WE CAN "KNOW" THAT WE HAVE ETERNAL LIFE. THE WORD OF GOD GIVES US THE ASSURANCE WE CAN HAVE OF OUR SALVATION. BRO. RICHARD GOES IN DEPTH ON THIS SUBJECT IN THIS SERMON.

BRO. LARRY CLEMENTS JOINED US AGAIN TO DELIVER A MESSAGE ABOUT HOPE. IN 1 THESSALONIANS 14, PAUL INSTRUCTS THE CHURCH HOW TO BEHAVE IN VARIOUS ASPECTS BEFORE EXPLAINING THE REASONS FOR HOPE WE SHOULD HAVE CONCERNING OUR BROTHERS AND SISTERS IN CHRIST THAT HAVE DIED. WE HAVE HOPE IN THE RETURN OF CHRIST, THE RESURRECTION OF THE BELIEVERS, THE RAPTURE OF THE SAINTS, AND THE REUNION OF THE SAVED.

BRO. MICAH CARTER JOINED US IN CELEBRATING CALVARY'S 80TH HOMECOMING. BRO. MICAH BROUGHT US A MESSAGE FROM GOD ABOUT AFFLICTION IN OUR LIVES. THE PLASMIST PRAISED THE LORD FOR THE AFFLICTIONS IN HIS LIFE. SOMETIMES WE VIEW THE ISSUES IN OUR LIVES AS SOMETHING THAT OUR FATHER IS DOING TO US INSTEAD SOMETHING HE IS DOING FOR US. WE SHOULD DELIGHT IN THE MATURING OF OUR CHARACTER THROUGH THE TRIALS GOD SETS BEFORE US.

REHOBOAM DID NOT FOLLOW GOD AS HIS FATHER SOLOMON DID. IN RESULT, SHISHAK TOOK THE SHIELDS OF GOLD THAT SOLOMON HAD MADE WHEN HE WAS KING. REHOBOAM HAD SHIELDS OF BRASS MADE TO REPLICATE THE LOST SHIELDS OF GOLD. TOO MANY TIMES WE ARE OFFERING GOD LESS THAN BEST. WE ARE GIVING HIM INFERIOR SERVICE INSTEAD OF OUR BEST SERVICE TO HIM. YOU CAN WATCH THE VIDEO OF THIS SERMON HERE.

WITH BRO. RICHARD OUT THIS SUNDAY, BRO. LARRY CLEMENTS BROUGHT CALVARY A MESSAGE ON HOW WE CAN HAVE PERFECT PEACE, THE KIND THAT PASSES ALL UNDERSTANDING, NOT ONLY IN TIMES OF TROUBLE AND TURMOIL BUT ALL THE TIME. ETERNAL STRENTH IS FOUND IN THOSE WHO KEEP THEIR MIND ON THE LORD AND TRUST IN HIM.

IN PART 2 OF BRO. ALLEN HAGOOD'S SERMON ON FAITH PROMISE, HE EXPANDS ON HOW THIS FORM OF GIVING CAN AND WILL BLESS YOU, THE LORD, THOSE TRYING TO REACH LOST SOULS, AND THE LOST SOULS THAT ARE BEING REACHED. THIS IS PART 1 OF THIS SERMON. YOU CAN LISTEN TO PART 1 HERE.

TO END AUGUST'S THEME OF STEWARDSHIP, BRO. ALLEN HAGOOD BRINGS A SERMON ON THE CONCEPT OF "FAITH PROMISE." THIS IDEA IS NOT A NEW IDEA, AND IT IS BASED IN SCRIPTURE. USING A PASSAGE OF PAUL'S WRITINGS IN 2 CORINTHIANS, BRO. ALLEN SHOWS US THAT FAITH PROMISE IS GRACE GIVING AND NOT OF OUR OWN POWER. WHEN WE COMMIT TO GIVING TO FAITH PROMISE, WE ARE ALLOWING GOD TO GIVE THROUGH US WHAT HE WILL NOT GIVE TO US. THIS IS PART 1 OF THIS SERMON. YOU CAN LISTEN TO PART 2 HERE.

IN THE THIRD INSTALLMENT OF HIS SERIES ON STERWARDSHIP, BRO. RICHARDS TALKS ABOUT THE CONCEPT OF TITHING. TO BETTER UNDERSTAND THIS IDEA, WE MUST LOOK TO THE SCRIPTURES WHERE WE FIND THE ORIGIN OF BIBLICAL TITHING. THIS IS THE LAST SERMON FROM BRO. RICHARD IN THIS SERIES AS BRO. ALLEN HAGOOD WILL WRAP UP THE SERIES NEXT SUNDAY AS HE SPEAKS ON THE CONCEPT OF FAITH PROMISE GIVING. YOU CAN WATCH THE VIDEO OF THIS SERMON HERE.

WITH THE SECOND INSTALLMENT OF A FOUR PART SERIES ON STEWARDSHIP, BRO. RICHARD SPEAKS ABOUT HOW SHIFTING OUR PRIORITIES TO ETERNITY WILL BRING ABOUT CHANGES IN OUR LIVES THAT WILL SHAPE THE WAY WE VIEW STEWARDSHIP. FOCUSING ON ETERNITY WILL ALLOW US TO WORSHIP, SERVE, GIVE TO, AND WITNESS FOR GOD.

IN THIS SERMON, WE LEARNED THE BIBLICAL DEFINITION OF THE TERM "STEWARD," HOW IT RELATES TO US, THE PROPER VIEW WE SHOULD HAVE, AND HOW GOD WANTS US TO BE GOOD STEWARDS OF WHAT HE'S GIVEN US. THIS IS THE INTRODUCTORY SERMON FOR A SERIES ON STERWARDSHIP THAT WILL LAST THE ENTIRETY OF AUGUST.

July 24, 2022 - Be Glad

July 17, 2022 - What Happens When We Die?

GOD HAS NOT CHANGED. THE PROMISES HE'S MADE THOUSANDS OF YEARS AGO ARE STILL PROMISES TODAY. HE CAN DO WONDERS INOUR LIFE WE WOULD GIVE HIM A CHANCE.

SOMETIMES AS GOD'S PEOPLE, WE ARE GUILTY OF FORGETTING WHAT ALL HE HAS DONE FOR US. EVERY GOOD THING IN OUR LIFE IS A DIRECT RESULT OF GOD'S GOODNESS TO US. WE SHOULD ME MORE MINDFUL TO THANK HIM AND PRAISE HIM FOR ALL HE HAS DONE AND WILL DO FOR US.

JESUS HEALED MULTITUDES OF PEOPLE DURING HIS EARTHLY MINISTRY. YET, THERE WERE MANY PEOPLE WHO WERE ALIVE DURING THE TIME OF JESUS' MINISTRY THAT NEVER RECEIVED HEALING. SOMETIMES JESUS DOESN'T FIX THINGS IN OUR LIVES, BECAUSE HE KNOWS WHAT RESULTS MAY COME OUT OF THOSE SITUATIONS.

WITH BRO. RICHARD OUT ON THIS FATHER'S DAY SUNDAY, BRO. TREY CAMPBELL BRINGS A MESSAGE FROM THE WORD OF GOD.

June 12, 2022 - Walking Away From Jesus

June 5, 2022 - Tomorrow Is Going To Be Better Than Today

May 29, 2022 - You're Not The Only One YOU CAN WATCH THE VIDEO OF THIS SERMON HERE.

WITHOUT MERCY, WE WOULDN'T HAVE GRACE. EVERY MORNING WE SEE, STEP WE TAKE, OR BREATH WE BREATHE SHOULD REMIND US OF THE MERCY THAT THE LORD HAS SHOWN US. SOMETIMES WE NEED TO CRY OUT TO GOD TO MERCY. YOU CAN WATCH THE VIDEO OF THIS SERMON HERE.

AS CHILDREN OF GOD, WE KNOW WHERE TO FIND ABSOLUTE TRUTH. WE SHOULD NEVER RELY ON THE WORLD OR ITS PEOPLE AS OUR SOURCE OF TRUTH. DESPITE WHAT ANY PERSON, BUSINESS, OR GOVERNMENT MAY SAY, WE KNOW THAT WORD OF GOD IS TRUE, AND WE MUST BE BRAVE AND DILIGENT IN SEEKING IT.

ON THIS MOTHER'S DAY, BRO. RICHARD GIVES A SERMON THAT DIVERGES FROM WHAT YOU MIGHT EXPECT FROM A MOTHER'S DAY SERMON. HE FOCUSES ON THE FACT THAT THE VAST MAJORITY OF MOTHERS ARE NOT PERFECT, AND HE GAVE EXAMPLES OF WOMEN FROM THE BIBLE THAT WERE HIGHLY FAVORED IN GOD'S EYES YET WERE NOT WHAT WE WOULD CALL "PERFECT." YOU CAN WATCH THE VIDEO OF THIS SERMON HERE.

IN THIS SERMON, BRO. RICHARD PICKS UP WHERE HE LEFT OFF LAST WEEK. THERE IS SOMETHING VERY ENCOURAGING AND HIGHLY INTIMATE IN KNOWING THAT THE CREATOR OF THE UNIVERSE KNOWS YOU.

WE ARE GOD'S CREATION. HE KNOWS EVERY INTRICATE DETAIL OF OUR LIVES. EVEN THE MUNDANE PARTS OF OUR DAILY ACTIVITIES ARE KNOWN BY GOD. WE SHOULD BE AWARE OF GOD'S LOVE, MERCY, AND GRACE WORKING ALL AROUND US. YOU CAN WATCH THE VIDEO OF THIS SERMON HERE.

SOMETIMES THE THINGS THAT GOD WANTS US TO DO ARE HARD. IF WE LOOK AT THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRIST WAS CRUCIFIED, WE CAN SEE THAT EVEN JESUS DIDN'T WANT TO ENDURE THE PAIN AND AGONY HE WAS SOON TO EXPERIENCE, BUT HE WANTED TO FULFILL THE WILL OF THE FATHER MORE. WE SHOULD USE JESUS AS AN EXAMPLE AND LEARN SOME LESSONS FROM THE DARKEST NIGHT. YOU CAN WATCH THE VIDEO OF THIS SERMON HERE.

THIS LIFE CAN BE STRESSFUL. THE WORRIES AND SUFFERINGS OF THIS BROKEN WORLD CAN WEIGH US DOWN. WE NEED TO REMEMBER THAT AS CHRISTIANS, WE NEED TO REMEMBER THAT NO MATTER WHAT HEARTACHES WE EXPERIENCE ON THIS SIDE OF ETERNITY, WE ARE CHILDREN OF THE ALMIGHTY GOD! YOU CAN WATCH THE VIDEO OF THIS SERMON HERE.

SOMETIMES WE GET SO DISTRACTED BY THE WORK OF THE LORD THAT WE FORGET THE LORD OF THE WORK. AS CHRISTIANS, SERVING GOD IS TOP PRIORITY, BUT WE CAN'T LET THE BUSYNESS OF LIFE AND SERVICE TO KEEP US FROM BEING OPEN TO GOD'S PRESENCE AND GROWING CLOSER TO HIM. WE MUST REMAIN AT HIS FEET.

THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB JESUS CHRIST IS THE THING THAT RECONCILES US TO GOD. WITHOUT THE BLOOD, WE HAVE NO CHANCE FOR TRUE PEACE. WE MAY LIVE OUR LIVES THINKING THAT WE ARE SERVING THE LORD, BUT IF WE HAVE NOT ACCEPT THE FREE GIFT OF SALVATION THAT WAS MADE POSSIBLE THROUGH THE BLOOD OF CHRIST, WE ARE SERVING IN VAIN.

AS SINNERS, THERE IS NO ESCAPE FROM HELL IF WE NEGLECT SALVATION. THE ONLY WAY TO AVOID ETERNAL SEPARATION FROM GOD IS TO PLACE OUR TRUST AND FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST AND RECEIVE THE SALVATION THAT HE PAID FOR ON THE CROSS AT CALVARY. YOU CAN WATCH THE VIDEO OF THIS SERMON HERE.

IT IS NOT MERELY ENOUGH THAT WE KNOW THE LORD. THE BIBLE SAYS EVEN THE DEMONS KNOW THE LORD, AND THEY TREMBLE. TO TRULY BE CALLED A CHILD OF GOD, HE MUST KNOW US. YOU CAN WATCH THE VIDEO OF THIS SERMON HERE.

AS THE RETURN OF THE LORD NEARS, OUR WALK WITH GOD HAS NEVER BEEN MORE IMPORTANT. NOBODY KNOWS EXACTLY WHEN THAT DAY WILL COME, BUT WE CAN SEE THE SIGNS ALL AROUND US. WE MUST BE PREPARE OUR HEARTS FOR THAT DAY. YOU CAN WATCH THE VIDEO OF THIS SERMON HERE.

THIS SERMON WAS THE PRECURSOR TO OUR TWO NIGHT REVIVAL SERVICES WE HAD STARTING THIS EVENING SERVICE. BRO. RICHARD TALKS ABOUT THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HAVING A REVIVAL SERVICE AND HAVING A REVIVAL IN OUR HEARTS. THE PREACHER MAY COME AND GIVE A GREAT SERMON, BUT IF WE AREN'T OPEN TO AND READY FOR REVIVAL IN OUR HEARTS, THEN A REVIVAL WON'T HAPPEN. YOU CAN WATCH THE VIDEO OF THIS SERMON HERE.

IN THIS SERMON, BRO. RICHARD PICKS UP WHERE HE LEFT OFF WITH LAST WEEK'S SERMON ABOUT PRAYER AND HOW IMPORTANT IT IS TO THE LIFE OF A CHRISTIAN. AS CHILDREN OF THE LORD, WE NEED TO LET GOD TALK TO AS AND VICE VERSA, AND PRAYER IS THE MEANS BY WHICH WE DO THAT. YOU CAN WATCH THE VIDEO OF THIS SERMON HERE.

PRAYER IS CRUCIAL TO A CHRISTIAN'S WALK WITH GOD. IT IS THE WAY WE CAN COMMUNICATE WITH OUR FATHER. IN THIS SERMON, BRO. RICHARD BEGINS SPEAKING ON THE IMPORTANCE OF PRAYER IN OUR LIVES, BUT HE WASN'T ABLE TO GIVE ALL OF HIS POINTS. NEXT WEEK, HE FINISHES THE THOUGHT OF WALKING WITH GOD IN PRAYER. YOU CAN WATCH THE VIDEO OF THIS SERMON HERE.

IN THIS SERMON, BRO. RICHARD ADDS TO THE MESSAGE FROM LAST WEEK ON HOW GOD'S WORD IS CRUCIAL TO OUR WALK WITH GOD. AS SAVED CHILDREN OF GOD, WE MUST BE ACTIVELY INVOLVED IN THE WORD OF GOD. YOU CAN WATCH THE VIDEO OF THIS SERMON HERE.

IN THIS INSTALLMENT OF THE SERMON SERIES ABOUT WALKING CLOSER WITH GOD, BRO. RICHARD FOCUSES ON THE IMPORTANCE OF GOD'S WORD AND HOW VITAL IT IS TO A CHRISTIAN AND THEIR PERSONAL JOURNY WITH CHRIST. YOU CAN WATCH THE VIDEO OF THIS SERMON HERE.

STARTING WITH THIS SERMON, BRO. RICHARD STARTS A SERIES OF SERMONS ABOUT WALKING CLOSER WITH GOD, WHICH IS THE THEME FOR 2022. YOU CAN WATCH THE VIDEO OF THIS SERMON HERE.

IN THE LAST SERMON OF 2021, BRO. RICHARD SPEAKS ON HOW GLORIFYING AND PRAISING GOD LOOKS AND HOW IT IS BENEFICIAL FOR US AS CHRISTIANS AS WELL AS THE KINGDOM OF GOD. YOU CAN WATCH THE VIDEO OF THIS SERMON HERE.

THIS IS THE CONCLUSTION OF THE SERIES OF SERMONS DEDICATED TO GIFT OF CHRIST TO THE WORLD AND WHAT THAT MEANS FOR US ALL, ALTHOUGH THIS TOPIC COULD NEVER BE EXHAUSTED. YOU CAN WATCH THE VIDEO OF THIS SERMON HERE.

OFTENTIMES WE GET SAVED AND LIVE OUR LIVES WITHOUT THINKING OF ALL THAT THE LORD HAS GIVEN TO US THROUGH CHRIST. THERE ARE GIFTS FROM GOD GIVEN TO EVERY INDIVIDUAL TO POINT THEM TOWARDS CHRIST. YOU CAN WATCH THE VIDEO OF THIS SERMON HERE.

THIS IS THE FIRST OF A THREE PART SERMON ABOUT THE GIFT OF JESUS AND WHAT SALVATION MEANS FOR US. THROUGH CHRIST, GOD HAS GIVEN US MANY MARVELOUS GIFTS. YOU CAN WATCH THE VIDEO OF THIS SERMON HERE.
