In this message, Pastor Caleb discusses the inconvenience of Christianity. When people have a convenient walk with God, it usually reflects they have made their own version of Christianity while truly lacking a walk with God that He approves of.

This message explores the spiritual burden of neglecting our relationship with God, especially during seasons of drift like summer. Drawing from Psalm 91, the message contrasts the passive drift of spiritual neglect with the intentional, daily act of abiding in God's presence. It emphasizes that abiding doesn't promise a pain-free life, but it does offer an unshakable one. The sermon unpacks how neglect leads to fear, anxiety, and self-reliance, while abiding brings peace, protection, and intimacy with God. Ultimately, it invites listeners to return to the shelter of the Most High, reminding them that even when we drift, God's heart remains open and ready to receive us back.ASL interpretation is provided starting 20 seconds into message.

In this series, Pastor Caleb will describe the great gospel and how we should think about outreach.

June 25, 2025 - Pastor Caleb Curtis
Get ready for a powerful, tag-team message from our VIVE Campus Pastors, Pastor Henok, Pastor Caleb, and Pastor Davide. In this special AMEN Sunday edition, “Called to Go” challenges us to surrender control and trust God's calling on our lives. Lean in, let go and let God.
Public displays of affection can be endeavoring for some and off-putting for others. We tend to avoid people who seem too flamboyant or extra in their gestures of appreciation. This passage showcases a woman who drops everything she has to worship at the feet of Jesus. The surrounding crowd is offended by her grand gesture. The irony being is it if they truly recognized Jesus and who He really is, they wouldn't be judging her but joining her. This passage shows us that there are two types of people that worship God, people who do too much and others who do too little.
In this message, Pastor Caleb discusses the importance of the title given to Jesus within one's heart. A person will live by the title they give Jesus Christ.

Pastor Caleb, our Student Pastor, shares inspiration with us from Psalm 1.
Pastor Caleb Slavik delivers a message entitled "The Overflow of Obedience"
Matthew 7:15-20 tells us that the world should know us by our good fruits that we produce. This week Pastor Caleb looks at one attribute of the fruit of the spirit– Love.
In Genesis 3, Adam and Eve fall into the trap of imitation—grasping for God's authority, righteousness, and relationship—rather than walking in authentic trust. This same pattern is echoed in 1 John 2 and Matthew 4, where Jesus resists the very temptations they succumbed to. Through His perfect obedience and sacrificial covering, Jesus frees us from the need to perform or hide, inviting us into a life of authenticity. In a season where spiritual drift is common, we're called to shed the baggage of imitation and walk openly and honestly with God. Questions?
