Staff Meeting: The Difference Made From Serving With Determination - Pastor Bryan Thiel-Aquilina (06/09/2026) by Word of Life Assembly of God

We Hear Them Speaking The Wonderful Works of God Acts 2:5-13 NKJV And there were dwelling in Jerusalem Jews, devout men, from every nation under heaven. 6 And when this sound occurred, the multitude came together, and were confused, because everyone heard them speak in his own language. 7 Then they were all amazed and marveled, saying to one another, “Look, are not all these who speak Galileans? 8 And how is it that we hear, each in our own language in which we were born? 9 Parthians and Medes and Elamites, those dwelling in Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia, 10 Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya adjoining Cyrene, visitors from Rome, both Jews and proselytes, 11 Cretans and Arabs—we hear them speaking in our own tongues the wonderful works of God.” 12 So they were all amazed and perplexed, saying to one another, “Whatever could this mean?” 13 Others mocking said, “They are full of new wine.” 1. The Crowd's Response The Multitude Came Together 2. We Hear Them Verse 12 - 2 Responses To The Gospel: 1) Drawn In With Curiosity 2) Reaction of Mockery Rom. 1:16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek.

n Part 2 of our Psalm 23 series, Pastor Bryan teaches how rest reminds us that God is still working even when we aren't. Fatigue can leave us vulnerable, but true rest strengthens and restores us spiritually. As believers, we are called to live “from rest, not for it,” trusting that our value is not found in what we earn or produce. The Lord uses rest to remind us that we are already accepted in Him.

Why Do You Stand Gazing Up Into Heaven? Acts 1:9-11 Now when He had spoken these things, while they watched, He was taken up, and a cloud received Him out of their sight. 10 And while they looked steadfastly toward heaven as He went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel, 11 who also said, “Men of Galilee, why do you stand gazing up into heaven? This same Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, will so come in like manner as you saw Him go into heaven.” Vs. 9 Jesus' Exaltation Jesus' Delegation John 16:7 “Nevertheless I tell you the truth. It is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you; but if I depart, I will send Him to you.” Why Do You Stand Gazing Up Into Heaven? Jesus Will Come In Like Manner “O My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as You will” (Mt. 26:39) God Can Change Your Story Into A Place Of Glory

Pastor Bryan begins a new series on Psalm 23, starting with verse one and the reminder that we are in greater need of guidance and care than we may ever realize. As our Shepherd, God desires to lead and watch over every part of our lives — but the question is, are we truly allowing Him to be the Shepherd of our lives?

Pastor Bryan looks at Genesis 27 as a chaotic chessboard where family dysfunction—Isaac's appetite, Rebekah's fear, Jacob's deception and Esau's bitterness—appears to rule the day, yet God's sovereign purpose prevails. The chapter's drama is framed around the tagline “God never reacts. He reigns,” where we see the sensory-driven choices of humans are moves that God ultimately weaves into his covenantal plan. -Featuring Bryan Ost

In Part 4 of the Psalms series, Pastor Bryan walks through Psalm 23 and reveals the comfort, guidance, and faithful presence of the Good Shepherd. From green pastures to dark valleys, this message reminds us that God provides, restores, protects, and pursues His people with goodness and mercy. No matter what season you are walking through, you can experience the presence of the Shepherd who never changes and never leaves His flock. Watch, be encouraged, and share this message with someone who needs hope today.Scriptures:Psalm 23:1-6Links:calvarymd.comcalvarymd.com/givefacebook.com/calvaryfrederick

A special word from Pastor Bryan and Alisha on this Memorial Day weekend

When we consider some of the great missionaries of the past, whether the Apostle Paul himself or people like Adoniram Judson and William Carey, we often wonder how they endured under such difficult circumstances. Not only that, but how could they possibly be joyful in the midst of these trials? In this week's message from Philippians 1, Pastor Bryan shows us that what these heroes of the faith had in common was a radical perspective: Everything in life is an opportunity to advance the gospel. Whether in the marketplace or overseas, we all have a call to live on mission for God.

In this message from Psalm 23, Pastor Bryan introduces us to the Good Shepherd revealed throughout Scripture. From the diagnosis of our need to the promise of God's pursuit in Ezekiel 34, we see the fulfillment in Jesus, the Shepherd who lays down His life for His sheep. Whether you feel lost, wounded, weary, or far from God, this message is a reminder that Jesus knows you personally and has come to lead, heal, and restore you. Watch, reflect, and share this message with someone who needs hope today.Scriptures Used:Psalm 23Ezekiel 34:4Ezekiel 34:11Ezekiel 34:15-16John 10:11Links:calvarymd.comcalvarymd.com/givefacebook.com/calvaryfrederick

Pastor Bryan wraps up his series on becoming a fruitful Christian by emphasizing that the fruit in our lives reveals what we are most connected to. He teaches that true, lasting fruit is not something we manufacture on our own, but the natural result of being connected to God. When we are led by the Holy Spirit, His work becomes evident through the fruit we produce.

It's one thing to be on the receiving end of gossip or criticism by a coworker or acquaintance, but to be hurt by someone close to us? That's an entirely different kind of pain. And this is precisely why church hurt can cut so deep, because it comes from a completely unexpected place. In this week's message from Psalm 55, Pastor Bryan explores what a godly response to this kind of hurt looks like. It can be tempting to isolate ourselves, but these are the very moments when we need to resist drawing away and instead pursue community with fellow believers.
