What if the biggest battle you're facing isn't the giant in front of you, but the way you see yourself?In this Father's Day message, Pastor George Sawyer looks at the life of David to reveal how God builds champions from ordinary people. Long before David stood before Goliath, he was chosen by God, anointed in private, and shaped through seasons that no one else noticed. His story reminds us that God's calling isn't based on appearance, popularity, or human approval. It's rooted in the condition of the heart.Whether you're a father, husband, son, leader, or someone searching for purpose, this message will encourage you to stop defining yourself by culture, comparison, or past failures and begin seeing yourself through God's eyes. Learn how intimidation loses its power when your identity is anchored in Christ, and discover why the battles you face today may be preparing you for the assignment God has already placed on your life.If you've ever felt overlooked, underestimated, or stuck waiting on God's timing, this message is for you.In This Message:What the Bible teaches about David and GoliathHow God chooses the heart over outward appearanceFinding your identity in Christ instead of cultureOvercoming fear, intimidation, and insecurityWhy God often prepares leaders in hidden seasonsTurning past pain into future purposeBiblical encouragement for fathers, men, and familiesHow to face the giants standing between you and God's callingDigital Connect Card: www.calvaryassembly.org/new Giving: https://calvarylive.churchcenter.com/giving Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/CalvaryLiveAL/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/calvary_live/ Need prayer? https://www.calvaryassembly.org/prayer Want to take your next step in faith?

What happens when your faith is tested? What if the very thing meant to stop God's work actually becomes the catalyst for revival?In Part 2 of The Acts of the Disciples, Pastor George Sawyer takes us into Acts 8, one of the most pivotal chapters in the early church. Following the martyrdom of Stephen and the intense persecution led by Saul, believers are forced to leave Jerusalem.

The Acts of the Disciples: Barnabas and the Power of Encouragement | Pastor George SawyerWhat if one of the most powerful spiritual gifts isn't preaching, leading, or teaching, but encouragement?In this message from Calvary, Pastor George Sawyer launches a new series through the Book of Acts by examining the life of Barnabas, one of the most influential yet often overlooked leaders in the early church.

Pentecost was never meant to be just a moment we remember. It's an invitation to live empowered by the Holy Spirit every single day.In this powerful Pentecost Sunday message at Calvary, guest speaker Dr. Wayne Lee challenges believers to intentionally make room for the Holy Spirit in their daily lives. Looking at the ten days between Jesus' ascension and the outpouring in Acts 2, Dr. Lee reminds us that revival often begins with hunger, prayer, expectation, and space made for God to move.This message explores why Pentecost still matters today and how the Holy Spirit empowers believers to stand firm in spiritual battles, walk in truth, pray effectively, experience supernatural joy, and live fruitful lives that impact families, workplaces, and entire communities.Teaching from John 14–16, Dr. Lee explains the role of the Holy Spirit as counselor, teacher, guide, and source of power for every believer. Through personal testimonies and real-life stories of healing, answered prayer, financial breakthrough, and Spirit-led discernment, this message calls the church to move beyond routine Christianity into a Spirit-filled life marked by bold faith and intimacy with God.If you've been spiritually dry, hungry for more of God, or wondering what it truly means to be filled with the Holy Spirit, this message will stir your faith and challenge you to seek Him deeply.Digital Connect Card: www.calvaryassembly.org/new  Giving: https://calvarylive.churchcenter.com/giving  Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/CalvaryLiveAL/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/calvary_live/  Need prayer? https://www.calvaryassembly.org/prayer  Want to take your next step in faith?

There are moments in your walk with God when words fail, strength runs low, and you don't even know how to pray anymore. That's where this message begins.In Part 2 of the Next Steps series, Pastor George Sawyer teaches from the book of Jude, Romans, and 1 Corinthians on the power of praying in the Holy Spirit and what it means to build your faith in a culture drifting away from truth. This message is deeply personal, practical, and rooted in the belief that the Holy Spirit still moves today just like He did in the New Testament.Pastor Sawyer shares why Calvary believes the gifts of the Spirit are still active, why praying in tongues matters biblically, and how the Holy Spirit helps believers pray beyond their own understanding. Through real testimonies of supernatural protection, intercession, and breakthrough, this message points back to a simple truth: God is still speaking, still moving, and still empowering His church.This is a message for people who are hungry for more than surface-level faith. For those tired of powerless religion. For those wanting a deeper prayer life, stronger discernment, and a faith that remains steady no matter what culture says.Digital Connect Card: www.calvaryassembly.org/new  Giving: https://calvarylive.churchcenter.com/giving  Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/CalvaryLiveAL/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/calvary_live/  Need prayer? https://www.calvaryassembly.org/prayer  Want to take your next step in faith?

There's a difference between knowing about Jesus and actually walking with Him in power. This message from Pastor George Sawyer is an invitation to stop standing still in your faith and start stepping into everything God has already made available to you.In Next Steps, Pastor Sawyer takes us into the Upper Room in John , a moment filled with urgency, emotion, and promise. Jesus is preparing His disciples for what's coming, and instead of leaving them empty, He gives them something greater. This message brings clarity to what it actually means to follow Jesus in the New Testament. It's not about routine religion or occasional inspiration, it's about being filled, led, and empowered by the Holy Spirit daily. From creation to salvation, from Acts 1 to today, we see the same truth: God's Spirit transforms everything He touches.Pastor Sawyer challenges us to move beyond surface-level faith and surrender every part of our lives to the Holy Spirit. Because partial surrender leads to partial power, but full surrender unlocks everything.If you've been asking, “What's my next step?” this message will point you directly to it.Digital Connect Card: www.calvaryassembly.org/new Giving: https://calvarylive.churchcenter.com/giving Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/CalvaryLiveAL/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/calvary_live/ Need prayer? https://www.calvaryassembly.org/prayer Want to take your next step in faith?

There are moments in your walk with God where everything shifts. Not because something new was added, but because you finally step into what was already given. This message, Jerusalem Part 2, is one of those moments. It's a call to move beyond simply celebrating the resurrection and into living with resurrection power every single day.In this follow-up to Easter, Pastor George Sawyer unpacks what happens after the empty tomb. Drawing from Acts 1–2 and the life of Jesus, this message reveals that salvation is not the finish line, it's the starting point. Jesus didn't just rise again to save us; He commissioned us, empowered us, and sent us.Scripture reminds us in Acts 1:8, “You shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me…” This isn't symbolic language. This is a promise. A promise that the same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead now empowers believers to live transformed, purpose-filled lives.Pastor Sawyer challenges the idea of powerless Christianity and calls the church into something deeper, true transformation through the Holy Spirit. This message speaks directly to identity, purpose, and the necessity of being filled with God's power to live out your faith boldly in today's world.If you've ever felt stuck in routine, weighed down by guilt, or unsure of your purpose, this message will help you see that God never intended for you to live that way. There is more. There is power. There is purpose.Lean in and ask yourself: am I just saved, or am I sent?Digital Connect Card: www.calvaryassembly.org/new Giving: https://calvarylive.churchcenter.com/giving Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/CalvaryLiveAL/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/calvary_live/ Need prayer? https://www.calvaryassembly.org/prayer Want to take your next step in faith?

What if the future of the Church was placed in your hands?Pastor George Sawyer unpacks what he calls one of the most radical moments in history: Jesus entrusting the future of His Church to 11 imperfect, doubting disciples after the resurrection. And here's the truth that should shake us. That same mission now belongs to us.Rooted in Matthew 28, this message reveals that Jesus didn't just give a command. He gave authority. “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Me… therefore go.” That authority is now delegated to every believer to represent Christ in the world.But authority alone isn't enough.Moving into Acts 1, Pastor Sawyer teaches that the Church also needs power, the Greek word dunamis, which is the supernatural ability of the Holy Spirit to bring real transformation. Without power, we drift into empty religion. With power, we become effective witnesses.From Luke 10, we see that even the early followers of Jesus exercised authority over the enemy. Yet Jesus still instructed them to wait for the baptism of the Holy Spirit, showing us that authority must be partnered with power to fully walk in God's purpose.This message is a wake-up call to reject powerless Christianity and step into a life marked by bold faith, spiritual authority, and Holy Spirit power. You are not here by accident. You have an assignment.

Easter wasn't the finish line. It was the launch point.In this powerful follow-up message from Pastor George Sawyer, we step into Matthew 28 and uncover what Jesus meant when He told His followers, “Meet Me in Galilee.” This wasn't just a location. It was a moment of restoration, identity, and commissioning.After the resurrection, Jesus chose Galilee to restore His disciples after failure, reignite their calling, and release them into purpose. It's also where we see something profound. Women were the first to carry the message of the resurrection, affirming their vital role in God's mission from the very beginning.This message reveals two life-changing realities for every believer:First, in Galilee, Jesus restored and delegated authority back to His followers.Second, later in Jerusalem, He would send the power of the Holy Spirit to empower them.Going all the way back to Genesis 1, we see that humanity was created with dominion, but that authority was lost through sin. Through the cross and resurrection, Jesus reclaimed that authority and entrusted it to His Church with a clear mission: make disciples.But here's the key. Authority only functions through submission to Christ. While the enemy still has power, he no longer has authority over those who are in Jesus. That means believers are called to stand firm, live boldly, and walk in the authority Jesus has already secured.This message is a call to move beyond passive faith and step into resurrection authority, spiritual confidence, and Kingdom purpose.Digital Connect Card: www.calvaryassembly.org/new  Giving: https://calvarylive.churchcenter.com/giving  Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/CalvaryLiveAL/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/calvary_live/  Need prayer? https://www.calvaryassembly.org/prayer  Want to take your next step in faith?

Easter isn't about a fresh start. It's about a brand new life.In this Easter message from Pastor George Sawyer, we confront a question that still echoes from the empty tomb in Luke 24: “Why are you looking among the dead for someone who is alive?”So many people today are searching for life in places that can't give it. Success, relationships, habits, even religion. We try to reset our lives by changing circumstances, but deep down, nothing really changes. This message makes it clear: God didn't come to reset you. He came to resurrect you.The resurrection of Jesus is not just a moment we celebrate. It is the foundation of our faith. It proves the cross worked. It declares victory over sin, death, and hell. And it offers every person the opportunity to be completely transformed through forgiveness, freedom, and the power of the Holy Spirit.Through biblical truth and real-life stories, Pastor Sawyer challenges us to stop looking for life in dead places and respond to Jesus' invitation to come alive. This is more than behavior modification. This is total transformation.You don't need another reset. You need resurrection.Digital Connect Card: www.calvaryassembly.org/new Giving: https://calvarylive.churchcenter.com/giving Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/CalvaryLiveAL/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/calvary_live/ Need prayer? https://www.calvaryassembly.org/prayer Want to take your next step in faith?

Palm Sunday wasn't just a moment. It was a movement of people, a city overflowing with expectation, emotion, and decision.In this powerful Palm Sunday message from Pastor George Sawyer, we step into the streets of Jerusalem during Passover and wrestle with a deeply personal question: Who would you have been in the crowd?With powerful teaching from Scripture, including connections to Matthew 21, Luke 19, Exodus 12, and Hebrews 12, Pastor Sawyer calls believers to move beyond crowd-based identity and step into personal, resilient faith. Faith that praises boldly. Faith that lays down old identities. Faith that presses through the noise to truly encounter Jesus.You're not just part of a crowd. You have a calling. You have a testimony. And your response to Jesus matters.00:00 Who Would You Be in the Palm Sunday Crowd00:49 How Large Was Jerusalem During Passover02:17 Palm Sunday Prophecy Fulfilled03:34 The Crowd Scene in Matthew 2105:45 Luke 19 Account and Jesus Weeping Over Jerusalem08:52 Why Jesus Rode a Donkey Instead of a Warhorse10:38 The Second Coming Contrast12:31 God's Perfect Timing in Scripture13:24 The Passover Lamb Connection (Exodus 12)15:48 Crowd Identity in Today's Culture19:09 Building Personal Faith in a Noisy World19:51 Sharing Your Testimony Boldly21:40 Praising God Without Shame22:45 The Curious Crowd With No Root24:29 Hosanna Means Save Us Now25:09 Hard Hearts and Religious Pride27:00 Faithful Followers Who Stand Firm29:26 A Call to Come Back to Jesus31:10 Crowd Mentality vs Personal Faith31:59 Pressing Through for a Miracle34:08 Reaching Out to Touch Jesus35:36 Surrounded by a Cloud of Witnesses (Hebrews 12)38:00 Your Testimony as a Palm Branch38:34 Laying Down Your Old IdentityDigital Connect Card: www.calvaryassembly.org/new Giving: https://calvarylive.churchcenter.com/giving Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/CalvaryLiveAL/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/calvary_live/ Need prayer? https://www.calvaryassembly.org/prayer Want to take your next step in faith?

Two questions echo through our culture today: Who am I? and Why am I here?In Messengers Part 3, Pastor George Sawyer continues the Messengers series by answering those questions through the truth of 2 Corinthians 5. Scripture reveals that anyone who belongs to Christ becomes a new creation, reconciled to God and entrusted with a powerful assignment: to live as Christ's ambassadors carrying the message of reconciliation to the world.This message reminds us that Christianity was never meant to be private or passive. There is no Plan B for sharing the Gospel. God's plan has always been His people living and proclaiming the message of reconciliation through both their words and their lifestyle.When believers seek God through Scripture, prayer, and fellowship, a spiritual cause-and-effect begins to unfold. God moves. Lives are changed. Miracles happen. People are drawn to Jesus.When the Church walks in the Spirit, love becomes visible, joy becomes contagious, and people begin to encounter Jesus through the lives of His messengers.If you want to understand your identity in Christ, experience the power of the Holy Spirit, and live a life that naturally draws people to Jesus, this message will inspire and challenge you.00:00 The Culture's Biggest Identity Questions02:33 Reading the Foundational Scripture (2 Corinthians 5)04:36 Understanding the Message of Reconciliation06:01 The Purpose of an Ambassador for Christ08:12 Witnessing Through Lifestyle and Example09:57 The Power of the Holy Spirit in Our Lives13:13 Pentecost and the Outpouring of the Spirit15:24 The Early Church After Revival (Acts 2)20:12 The Cause-and-Effect Pattern of Faith22:33 Staying Focused on the Mission23:39 A Prayer for Fresh Filling of the Spirit24:09 Living as Everyday Messengers25:06 Joy That Comes From God's Presence26:23 Loving God and Loving People27:37 Finding Your Identity in Christ30:23 Living by the Spirit (Galatians 5)33:45 The Works of the Sinful Nature36:43 The Fruit of the Spirit That Grows Naturally39:08 A Vision for a Spirit-Filled Church40:24 Surrender and Closing PrayerDigital Connect Card: www.calvaryassembly.org/new Giving: https://calvarylive.churchcenter.com/giving Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/CalvaryLiveAL/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/calvary_live/ Need prayer? https://www.calvaryassembly.org/prayer Want to take your next step in faith?

What changes when someone truly encounters Jesus? Everything.In Messengers Part 2, Pastor George Sawyer continues the Messengers series by unpacking one of the most powerful identity passages in the New Testament: 2 Corinthians 5:16–21. This message reveals that salvation does more than forgive sins. It transforms how we see God, ourselves, and the people around us.Scripture declares that anyone in Christ is a new creation. The old life is gone, and a completely new life has begun. But the transformation does not stop there. God reconciled us to Himself through Jesus and then entrusted believers with the ministry and message of reconciliation.That means every Christian now carries a divine assignment. We are Christ's ambassadors, representing the King and His Kingdom on earth. Our mission is not to argue people into faith but to live and share the message: Come back to God.Pastor Sawyer challenges the mindset of consumer Christianity, reminding believers that we are not meant to only receive from God but to release what He has placed inside us. When faith stops flowing outward, spiritual life becomes stagnant. Instead, followers of Christ are called to be conduits of grace, forgiveness, and reconciliation in a broken world.This message also emphasizes the necessity of the Holy Spirit's power. Transformation, reconciliation, and bold witness are impossible through human effort alone. Believers must move beyond being occasionally touched by the Spirit and learn to live continually filled with the Spirit, walking in uncommon faith and uncommon love.If you want to understand your identity in Christ, walk in greater spiritual power, and live on mission as a true ambassador of Jesus, this message will challenge and equip you.Digital Connect Card: www.calvaryassembly.org/new Giving: https://calvarylive.churchcenter.com/giving Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/CalvaryLiveAL/ Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/CalvaryLive/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/calvary_live/ Need prayer? https://www.calvaryassembly.org/prayer Want to take your next step in faith?

You were never saved just to sit. You were saved to be sent.In Messengers Part 1, Pastor George Sawyer launches a powerful new series rooted in 2 Corinthians 5, revealing that believers are not spiritual consumers but Christ's ambassadors.This message unpacks the life-changing truth that God reconciled us to Himself through Christ, no longer counting our sins against us, and then entrusted us with the message and ministry of reconciliation. That means we now carry Heaven's appeal to the world: “Come back to God.”Pastor Sawyer challenges the idea of consumer Christianity and calls the church to become conduits, not containers. When we only receive and never release, we become spiritually stagnant, like the Dead Sea. But when we live as Spirit-empowered messengers, life flows through us to others.This message is a call to authority, identity, and action. You are not defined by titles. You are defined by your commission. You carry the Spirit. You represent the King.If you've been longing for deeper purpose, bold faith, and clarity about your calling, this message will ignite something fresh in you.Digital Connect Card: www.calvaryassembly.org/new Giving: https://calvarylive.churchcenter.com/giving Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/CalvaryLiveAL/ Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/CalvaryLive/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/calvary_live/ Need prayer? https://www.calvaryassembly.org/prayer Want to take your next step in faith?

When everything around us is shifting, we need something that never moves.In this timely and powerful message from Calvary, Pastor Tony Willis reminds us that while culture, technology, and public opinion are constantly evolving, God and His Word remain eternally the same. In a world full of competing voices and half-truths, believers must develop true spiritual discernment through the Holy Spirit.Rooted in scripture, this message exposes the danger of relying on intellect alone and highlights the critical difference between information and revelation. Pastor Tony teaches that discernment is not just knowledge. It is spiritual perception given by the Holy Spirit to protect the Church in the last days.You will be challenged to stay anchored in biblical truth, continually filled with the Spirit, and alert to counterfeit revivals and false anointings that can subtly lead believers astray. At the same time, this message calls us to walk in compassion without compromising truth.If you've been asking how to stand firm in confusing times, this word will strengthen your faith and sharpen your spiritual awareness. 00:00 Introduction02:03 Honoring the Pulpit and Opening Scripture04:07 God Never Changes (Malachi 3:6 & Hebrews 13:8)06:01 How Fast Culture and Technology Are Changing08:42 Discernment for the Last Days (Matthew 24:4)13:03 Information vs Revelation Explained15:44 The Bible as Unchanging God-Breathed Truth17:54 The Last Days Outpouring of the Holy Spirit19:27 Old Testament vs New Covenant Discernment20:07 The Holy Spirit for Every Believer Today21:18 Why Discernment Is Critical in the Last Days (1 Corinthians 2)23:12 When the World Lost Reverence for the Church26:58 False Teaching That Feels Right29:44 Scripture Twisted in Today's Culture33:26 The Spirit Never Contradicts the Word35:41 How to Grow in Discernment Daily37:21 Counterfeit Revivals vs the Real Move of God39:28 Prophetic Declaration Over the ChurchDigital Connect Card: www.calvaryassembly.org/new Giving: https://calvarylive.churchcenter.com/giving Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/CalvaryLiveAL/ Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/CalvaryLive/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/calvary_live/ Need prayer? https://www.calvaryassembly.org/prayer Want to take your next step in faith?

What am I connected to? And why? Through practical teaching and biblical truth, we learn how unhealthy connections lead to broken cycles, while godly connections bring healing, freedom, and purpose.

This week, Sam is joined by Cole Clark and Isaiah Smallwood for a live episode filmed at Who Told You at Calvary Assembly of God in Demotte, Indiana, and it's exactly as chaotic as you'd expect. The night is anchored by the unforgettable story of The Hungry Water Slide, where a routine youth camp activity takes a sudden, horrifying turn, setting the tone for an episode packed with near-misses, questionable decisions, and moments that probably should've ended someone's youth ministry career. From youth events that go wildly off the rails, pranks with unintended consequences, and camp traditions that spiral out of control, to live-broadcast disasters and split-second decisions that still haunt leaders years later, this episode is a rapid-fire reminder of why youth group stories are never normal. Nothing is exaggerated, nothing is safe, and somehow everyone survived… mostly.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

If Christians are called to shape systems, then we must understand what distinguishes a Kingdom model from a worldly machine. Dr. Rutland brings clarity, simplicity, and unmatched leadership wisdom to this crucial distinction.  What You'll Learn in Part 2: How to identify the spirit, values, and drivers of worldly systems. What defines a Kingdom-driven system: righteousness, integrity, service, stewardship, and vision. Why leadership in the Kingdom is built on honor, humility, and accountability. How systems either form people into their image or free people into God's image. Why the Kingdom model produces transformation, not exploitation. A Word from Dr. Mark Rutland "Worldly systems demand success. Kingdom systems cultivate significance. One uses people—the other raises them." ABOUT DR. MARK RUTLAND — The Man, The Myth, The Legend Dr. Mark Rutland is a pastor, evangelist, educator, and New York Times best-selling author. His leadership journey has shaped universities, churches, and global missions. He has served as: Senior Pastor, Calvary Assembly of God, Orlando, FL President, Southeastern University, Lakeland, FL President, Oral Roberts University, Tulsa, OK Founder & Director, National Institute of Christian Leadership He also leads Global Servants, rescuing vulnerable girls from trafficking through the incredible House of Grace in Thailand. His life is a testament to the power of moving with God's voice—and His timing.

Many Christians understand purpose—but still miss timing. Dr. Rutland confronts one of the most overlooked truths: God's will requires God's timing. Purpose without timing creates chaos. Timing without obedience creates delay. But when purpose and timing align—systems shift, doors open, and favor flows. What You'll Learn in Part 1 Why divine timing is a spiritual discipline, not a coincidence. How to discern the difference between your timing and God's timing. Why rushing God's process leads to unnecessary warfare. How prophets and leaders can cultivate sensitivity to God's pace. Why being "late in the spirit" can cost you opportunities God intended for you to carry. A Word from Dr. Mark Rutland "God is never early and never late—but we often are. Maturity is learning to walk at His pace, even when everything around you tells you to run." ABOUT DR. MARK RUTLAND — The Man, The Myth, The Legend Dr. Mark Rutland is a pastor, evangelist, educator, and New York Times best-selling author. His leadership journey has shaped universities, churches, and global missions. He has served as: Senior Pastor, Calvary Assembly of God, Orlando, FL President, Southeastern University, Lakeland, FL President, Oral Roberts University, Tulsa, OK Founder & Director, National Institute of Christian Leadership He also leads Global Servants, rescuing vulnerable girls from trafficking through the incredible House of Grace in Thailand. His life is a testament to the power of moving with God's voice—and His timing.

Many Christians understand purpose—but still miss timing. Dr. Rutland confronts one of the most overlooked truths: God's will requires God's timing. Purpose without timing creates chaos. Timing without obedience creates delay. But when purpose and timing align—systems shift, doors open, and favor flows. What You'll Learn in Part 1 Why divine timing is a spiritual discipline, not a coincidence. How to discern the difference between your timing and God's timing. Why rushing God's process leads to unnecessary warfare. How prophets and leaders can cultivate sensitivity to God's pace. Why being "late in the spirit" can cost you opportunities God intended for you to carry. A Word from Dr. Mark Rutland "God is never early and never late—but we often are. Maturity is learning to walk at His pace, even when everything around you tells you to run." ABOUT DR.

“One of my biggest pet peeves is hearing shepherds say, ‘Ministry would be great if it weren't for the people,'” writes Craig T. Owens. “In essence they are saying, ‘I am happy to do this, as long as there aren't any difficult sheep to deal with.” He goes on to conclude: “Sheep are your ministry! Even the sheep that bite you, kick you, betray you, and abandon you.” The question pastors need to ask is how to minister to people who cause them pain. That's the question I ask Owens in this episode of the Influence Podcast. I'm George P. Wood, executive editor of Influence magazine and your host. Craig T. Owens is pastor of Calvary Assembly of God in Cedar Springs, Mich.; cohost of The Craig and Greg show, a leadership podcast; and author of When Sheep Bite. ————— This episode of the Influence Podcast is brought to you by My Healthy Church, distributors of Bible Engagement Project.

Welcome back to the second half of Pastor George Sawyer's Easter message, "Turn the Page," here at Calvary Assembly. In this continuation of our Easter celebration, Pastor Sawyer continues the power of "turning the page" with a look into the powerful story of Peter and the transformative journey of turning the page in his life. As we explore Peter's darkest chapter—his denial of Jesus—we see a man overwhelmed with guilt and shame, desperately trying to crawl out of a dark hole. Unlike Judas, whose betrayal was terminal, Peter's failure was temporary, paving the way for redemption and restoration. Despite his denial, Jesus continued to work in Peter's story. Through the power of the Holy Spirit, Peter's next chapter was authored—a chapter marked by boldness, courage, and the proclamation of the Gospel. Acts 2:1-8, 37-41 reveals the dramatic turnaround as Peter becomes a key figure in the early church, demonstrating the transformative power of the Holy Spirit. As we explore Peter's journey, Pastor Sawyer reminds us that the Holy Spirit stands ready to turn the page in our lives, authoring a new chapter filled with hope, purpose, and divine enablement. Join us as we embrace the promise of new beginnings and allow the Holy Spirit to write the next chapter of our stories.
