Joshua 22 - When Rumors Meet Reality - Pastor Dan Plourde - 1/11/26MESSAGE NOTES:http://www.calvaryword.com/Joshua2025/a1439.pdf

Next-Gen Pastor Dan Elkins preaches a message about "The Way To Go" from Psalms 32:1-5.

This week, we learn about John baptizing Jesus. For most Protestants, baptism is one of two sacraments. Some baptize infants, but others wait a while. Baptism or christening can be done by immersion or sprinkling. Pastor Dan talks about the implications.

The scriptures clearly teach that all three members of the Trinity were active during the Genesis creation. But that leads to the natural question: What exactly is the Trinity? Why do Christians believe in one God, not three? And how could Jesus be present in the book of Genesis, when he wasn't born until the Book of Matthew? Pastor Dan answers all of these questions (and more!) in today's message. -- GIVE: Visit www.connectcalgary.ca/give to help share #LifeOverflowing across Canada.

Do Christians really have free will when it comes to faith? In this episode of 2414, “Talking About Your Faith: Free Will,” warm humor and playful banter give way to a thoughtful, honest conversation about one of Christianity's most challenging and often misunderstood questions.The episode begins lightheartedly with highs and lows, family stories, and a spirited round of Outburst, before turning toward a deeper theological discussion rooted in Scripture and Lutheran teaching. From hiking mishaps and board game disasters to adoption analogies and the “house of salvation,” Pastor Dan and Shane explore what the Bible says about human will, sin, and grace.Framed by Luther's teaching on the bondage of the will, the conversation carefully distinguishes between everyday choices and humanity's spiritual inability before God. Rather than centering salvation on human decision-making, this episode points listeners toward repentance, trust, and the comfort that salvation is God's work from beginning to end.In this episode, we discuss:What Christians mean by “free will”The difference between earthly freedom and spiritual inabilityWhy defining theological terms mattersLuther's Bondage of the Will and the Formula of ConcordWhy decision-centered faith leads to pride or despairHow law and gospel shape our understanding of salvationWhy this doctrine, though uncomfortable, brings real comfortWho this episode is for:✔ Christians wrestling with questions about choice and belief✔ Listeners curious about Lutheran theology✔ Those seeking deeper, honest faith conversations✔ Anyone wanting to understand grace more clearlyThis episode doesn't offer easy answers—but it does offer clarity, humility, and hope, pointing listeners back to Christ and the grace that saves sinners.Don't forget to continue the conversation at home, in the car, at work, or anywhere you can find someone to talk to!

Join us for part 1 of our new series "Letting Go of Grudges" with Pastor Dan!

Pastor Dan Burrell and host, Josh Brahm, have a bit of fun with a game of "this or that" hot takes. 

Imagine a parent in the grocery store with a child begging for candy before dinner. The parent says no, not because they're mean, but because they know what's best. In the same way, God sometimes withholds things we think we need. It's not punishment; it's protection. Pastor Dan will tell you today that Psalm 84:11 says God withholds no good thing from those who walk uprightly. So if He's saying “not yet” or “no,” it's not because He's holding out on you. It's because He loves you.

Imagine the beginning of autumn. You're walking through the neighborhood, and all the flowerbeds seem to have a nice, fresh batch of pine straw. However, the more you look, the more you realize that the pine straw isn't just in the ground… It's woven within the plants themselves. That must mean that the shedding trees are pine trees! Today, Pastor Dan teaches that people know who you are by what you produce. Will you be identified as someone who produces the love and grace of God?

Acts 18:1-8 | 12.28.2025

Pastor Dan reflects on Isaiah 55 and his renewal leave, sharing a personal mountaintop story and the surprising moment when God met him in the valley. The sermon traces biblical examples—Ruth, Joseph, Mary—and shows how God's grace often arrives in unplanned, humble moments. He urges listeners to embrace "holy serendipity" by surrendering rigid plans, deepening prayer and scripture, and expecting God's unexpected work in the year ahead as they go further up and further in.

Christmas is over, and we're thinking about settling back into our old routines. Pastor Dan suggests that, just as the three wise ones were warned to go home by another way, maybe there are routines we might want to change.

Pastor Dan Lian closes the year with a special message to Church 4 All

In this week's message, Pastor Dan wraps up our study through Galatians by reminding us of the simple gospel: Jesus is enough. Galatians 6:11–18 calls us to stop adding man-made requirements to the message of grace. Paul reminds the church that neither circumcision nor uncircumcision counts for anything—what matters is becoming a new creation through faith in Christ. Through the story of Abraham and the thief on the cross, Dan challenges us to see that our salvation is based on belief, not performance. It's not grace plus works; it's grace alone. Key Themes: The danger of adding to the gospel What circumcision truly symbolized Why good deeds can't make us righteous The freedom of being a new creation in Christ If you've ever struggled with feeling “not good enough,” this message will remind you: Jesus is enough.

Join us for part 3 of our Christmas Series with Pastor Dan!

Isaiah 35 paints a picture of joy breaking through and hope taking root, even in the middle of waiting. In this sermon, Pastor Dan invites us into that vision, reflecting on Advent as a season shaped by anticipation, longing, and trust in God's faithfulness. Through story, scripture, and honest reflection, we're reminded that God is at work restoring what feels broken and that a day is coming when sorrow and sighing will fade away. This message encourages us to hold onto hope, remain open to transformation, and live with our eyes fixed on the promises still unfolding.
