Calvary Presbyterian Church

August 2, 2026 - Jonathan Hatt is the campus minister for Reformed University Fellowship (RUF) on the campus of Rowan University in Glassboro, NJ. He was born and raised in Southwest Florida, but moved to the Mid-Atlantic region to attend Westminster Theological Seminary. Before moving to New Jersey, he served churches in Wilmington, Delaware, and southeastern Pennsylvania. 

July 26, 2026 - Aron Geissinger is the Assistant Pastor at Mercy Hill Presbyterian Church (PCA) in Glassboro, NJ. He grew up in Boyertown, PA and has degrees from Nyack College (Business Administration) and Westminster Theological Seminary (Master of Divinity).    

July 19, 2026 - In a world of danger and injustice, we can pray to God for rescue because he listens to the Righteous.

Those who seek God's rescue and trust in his provision will have assurance of eternal joy.

7/5/26 - To live with God you need to be perfect. Thankfully, Jesus was.

6/28/26 - The fool who denies God's authority will face his terror, but those who cry out for rescue will be saved.

In a world of promises we can't trust, only the true and trustworthy Word of the Lord will provide the safety for which we long.

To know and love God is the one path that will lead to eternal blessing.

6/7/26 - Paul's final instructions to the Corinthians provide ten important encouragements for every Christian.

5/31/26 - Effective gospel witness and church ministry requires generosity of both finances and time.

5/24/26 - The victory of Jesus over death leads to a confident hope, a defiant joy, and a purposeful mission.

Jesus makes it possible for us to know that when he returns we will receive a perfect new body that will never wear out and will always glorify God.

The truth of the resurrection of Jesus and his followers has profound implications for how we live and how we die.

Since Christ has been raised from the dead, all his people will be raised to eternal life and the enemies of God will be defeated.

If Jesus didn't rise from the dead, the Christian faith is empty and useless.  

The Christian gospel stands firmly on the historical death and resurrection of Jesus.

The truth and necessity of the death of Jesus by crucifixion is the starting point for celebrating the hope of his resurrection.

The risen Jesus offers peace to the anxious, evidence to the doubting, mission to the waiting, and forgiveness to the believing.

Only Jesus has the words of eternal life and there is no one else who can satisfy our greatest needs for truth and joy.

Two controversial truths that emerge from Jesus's signs and teachings (and that remain controversial today) are, nonetheless, a source of great comfort and thanksgiving for the Christian.

Jesus is the bread of life. Whoever believes in him will have eternal life and never be hungry.

Our needs surpass our resources and the situation calls for Jesus—the one who alone accomplishes our eternal rescue and satisfies our greatest hunger.

David Keddie is a Ruling Elder at Hope Presbyterian Church (PCA) in Lawrenceville, NJ. For more than 20 years, he has served on the staff of Princeton Christian Fellowship, a student ministry at Princeton University. He recently completed his Master of Divinity degree at Westminster Theological Seminary.

The evidence is overwhelming to demonstrate the identity of Jesus as the Son of God. Multiple witnesses provide conclusive testimony. How will you plead?

People are desperate to find a sense of true, lasting rest for their anxious souls—an eternal “Sabbath of the Soul” for the spiritual insomniac. Where should we look?

One of the core characteristics of a healthy church is the radical generosity of God's grace to us in Jesus Christ resulting in our radical generosity toward others.

A desperate man is driven by suffering to find healing and rest in Jesus.

A single conversation reveals the mission of Jesus and the power of the gospel.

Will anything ever satisfy the deep needs of our heart and answer our biggest questions? Jesus reveals himself to be the only satisfying answer. 

The most important question in the world is: Will you believe what Jesus says about himself.

Rev. David Harr (the original Pastor Harr) is the younger, but wiser brother of Pastor Tom. He is a graduate of Lafayette College (B.A. in Physics) and Westminster Theological Seminary (MDiv). Since 2005, he has been the pastor of Immanuel Presbyterian Church (OPC) in Medford, NJ. He and his wife, Maggie, have four children. 

The frustration of imperfect and evil leaders points us toward a greater promise of an eternal King who arrived at Christmas.

The death of God's prophet is not the end, but actually part of the plan to rescue God's people.

Psalm 125:2 - “The Lord surrounds his people, from this time forth and forevermore."

11/30/25

All the wealth and power in the world can't make you clean in God's sight. He is the only true source of eternal healing and riches. 11/23/25

  The experience of the Shumanite woman shows us that if the resurrection is true, then you have every reason to get (and keep) your hopes up.

Tim Shorey was in pastoral ministry for over forty years, serving in New Jersey and Pennsylvania until he was diagnosed with cancer over three years ago. He has authored several books, the most recent of which is From a High Mountain: 31 Reflections on the Character and Comfort of God (based on Isaiah 40).  He and Gayline, his wife of 47 years, have six children and 14 grandchildren.

God knows the depth of our desperate needs and provides abundantly for them.

Because of Jesus, Christians can (like Elijah), face the end of this life without fear and with confidence that it is the beginning of life with God in our eternal home.

When Israel's King unexpectedly repents of great evil, we are reminded of the forgiveness available to even the most wicked sinners who genuinely submits in faith to the King Jesus.

When God's servants meet resistance and are frustrated that life isn't working how we want it to, God assures us that he is perfectly executing his plan.

In times of trouble, Christians must boldly proclaim the salvation that comes only through the God who brings (and takes) the fire.

Don't settle for a god who only promises falsely to provide for your material needs. We need the LORD who sovereignly rules over death.

In a world of famine and drought, God sends his Word to feed and rescue the poorest and most unlikely from their hunger and thirst.

A foolish choice by the son of King Solomon divides the kingdom of Israel and plunges it into conflict and division. But even when they're foolish, God isn't done with his people.

When we cry out in faith from the deep, we can rest assured that we are in our Savior's keep.

When the world becomes hostile for God's people, the LORD calls us to resist the temptation to run and hide. Instead, he wants us to trust in his sovereign rule, perfect justice, and eternal plan.
