Growing up, did the threat of getting something taken away cause you to behave? The thought of losing your treat after dinner or not getting to go out with your friends compelled you to obey… but not all the time. There were moments where the threat of consequences didn't outweigh your actions of disobedience. The same can be said about Israel. Today, Pastor Dan shares how the threat of curses didn't deter Israel from disobeying God's commandments because of their sin nature.  

Acts 26:1-11 | 07.19.2026

Have you ever questioned the legitimacy of the bible? You read the stories and think, " Did that actually happen”?  You are not alone; in fact, you can probably go online and find an argument about this very thing! Today, Pastor Dan shares that the events and stories in the Bible are, in fact, true. Dan breaks down multiple archaeological findings that are tied to events in the Bible. This is encouraging and can strengthen your ability to proclaim that the Bible is a real book about real people living in real places. 

 Acts 15:13-19 - Things to Come - Pastor Dan PlourdeMESSAGE NOTES:http://www.calvaryword.com/Acts2026/a1466.pdf

Pastor Dan gives us three elements to foster intergenerational faith.

There are moments in our lives that are hard. It could be problems at home or at work, or a struggle to feel a sense of worth. In these moments, they breed frustration and resentment, and the last thing we feel is joyful. But God shares something we can always rejoice in, no matter the situation. In today's message, Pastor Dan focuses your attention on God and His goodness, and not your feelings. You can rejoice in God because of what He acomplished thorough His Son's sacrifice on the Cross. 

When God blesses you, do you acknowledge Him? There are so many things that get taken for granted that are blessings, like waking up the next day, being healthy, or just getting to genuine rest from a busy work week. To some, this is just another mediocre day, but if you believe in the goodness and faithfulness of God, these are wonderful gifts that you get to experience on a daily basis. In today's message, Pastor Dan points us to how Israel acknowledged God in all the ways He blessed them. 

When you receive a gift, the typical response is to say thank you! That is the norm in society. What if you receive a gift that is unexpected or surpasses your expectations? Your gratitude tends to grow. You show more affection to the person who gave you that incredible present. The greatest gift we could ever receive comes from the Lord, and our response should replicate that. In today's message, Pastor Dan shares that when God blesses you, your response should be one of unrelenting praise and rejoicing! 

Acts 12 covers the incredible story where: Peter is imprisoned, the church prays earnestly, and God miraculously sets him free. But right beside Peter's rescue is James' martyrdom. A reminder that faith isn't about finding a formula for getting everything we want.In this message, Pastor Dan explores what it means to trust God when life doesn't make sense, why earnest prayer still matters, and how God sees, hears, and acts on behalf of His people. Don't let past disappointment keep you from bringing your biggest prayers to God.

Is there a moment in time you wish you could bottle up forever? It could be a time spent with close friends, your wedding day, or seeing your child take their first steps. These are the moments that left a lasting impression on you, so much so that you want them to last a lifetime. Well, there is a moment that you can experience that will surpass this lifetime and will remain with you forever. In today's message, Pastor Dan encourages you that when you place your faith in Jesus, you will have everlasting life. 

This Father's Day message from Pastor Dan Reehoff, explores the biblical qualities that define Godly fatherhood. Through practical wisdom and Scripture, Pastor Dan highlights the character, leadership, love, and faith that shape a father's lasting impact on his family. Whether you're a father, have a father, or are influenced by father figures, this encouraging message offers valuable insights on building a legacy that honors God and strengthens future generations.

Erine reads Romans 15:1-13 and Pastor Dan Foster closes the Life Together series in Romans, speaking of accepting one another. There are several testimonies at the end of the podcast.Further questions and thoughts that you might find helpful are:Can you think of a ‘neighbour' of yours whom you can encourage and build up?‘Christ became a servant' - what do you think about the idea that we worship a King who is also a servant?‘Accept one another, then, just as Christ accepted you'. Do you really believe that by God's grace you are accepted by him? Can you think of Christian(s) whom you find it difficult to accept? Does it help to remember that Christ has accepted them?Choose one of the ‘impartations' - from either verses 5-6 or verse 13 of the passage above. Speak it over yourself slowly, repeating it several times. Let it sink in. What is God saying to you through this?

Cornerstone Wesleyan Church, North Gower is taking 2026 to read through and preach through the Bible using the "One Story That Leads To Jesus" Bible reading plan (created by "The Bible Project"). To this end, Pastor Nate and Pastor Dan are recording their usual "sermon prep" conversation as a podcast so you can get a bird's eye view of the process, and perhaps grow in your own understanding and faith. This conversation is rough and unfinished, and not everything we talk about will make its way into the final teaching. But it hopefully gives you some additional food for thought. You can find the Bible Project here https://bibleproject.com/  You can find Cornerstone's Bible reading plan on YouVersion at bit/ly/bible2026  If that link doesn't work, try this one: https://bible.com/reading-plans/63058/together/77575397/invitation?token=2fhhVCf64-7PERhIujBwQA&source=share Or you can scan the QR code on the Podcast thumbnail!

Acts 25:13-27 | 07.12.2026

Pastor Dan explains that Christians are called to live radically different lives because they have been transformed by Jesus Christ. Rather than being driven by selfishness, greed, or the desire to win, believers should exercise biblical judgment, seek God's glory and the good of others, and remember that in Christ they have been washed, sanctified, and justified. #RadicallyDifferent #1Corinthians6 #Washed #Sanctified #Justified #NewLifeInChrist #ChristianLiving #BiblicalTruth #GodsGlory #CalvaryTilton

The common phrase “comparison is the thief of joy” rings in my head whenever I try to look at others and compare my life to theirs. It's so easy to think that just because they did or didn't do something, I'm better than them. In today's message, Pastor Dan says that Jesus should be your standard of living. Don't look left and right at others and compare yourself to them. You will not be judged on “if you were better than someone else or not.” You will be judged on how closely you follow the commands of Jesus.

Acts 15:1-12 - The First Church Council - Pastor Dan PlourdeMESSAGE NOTES:http://www.calvaryword.com/Acts2026/a1465.pdf

The book of Genesis features stories of betrayal, jealousy, treachery, and kidnapping. Pastor Dan talks about deception and more in the tale of the twins Esau and Jacob.

There are some autobiographies that I've read and said, “Did this person ACTUALLY do this?” Sometimes, it's easy to doubt the authenticity and authority of God, but it's important to remember that He has provided us a step-by-step guide on how to live for Him, and that the words given are His direct commands to us. In today's message, Pastor Dan emphasizes that the Bible is God's word. It's not a paraphrase of Him; it's not an idea of Him. It is the actual things that He has said, done, and will do for us.

Historically, a lot of America's values are based on Christianity, whether people realize it or not. In today's message, Pastor Dan talks about how the Founding Fathers actually used Deuteronomy numerous times while writing the Constitution. Although it may seem like Deuteronomy isn't that important a book, or that it's outdated and should be overlooked, it actually ended up as part of the foundation of the United States of America, with laws and rights that are still upheld today!

Acts 25:1-12 | 07.05.2026

In most movies I watch, the main character has a family last name that determines their entire status, both good and bad. Even though they get treated based on their family, God doesn't treat you differently based on your ancestors. In today's message, Pastor Dan says that your sins condemn you. Not your spouse, not your family, YOUR sins. The good news is that you've already been forgiven for that. You have this amazing opportunity to center your life around Christ and live according to His commands!

Marriage can be hard sometimes. One thing I've learned about marriage is that your spouse will build you up the most, but also hurt you the most. That may sound discouraging, but Jesus has redeemed you so that you can love your spouse and give them grace just as He did for you! In today's message, Pastor Dan talks about how a husband should love his wife. The Bible says to love your wife as you would love yourself. The best way to honor her is to love her, care for her, and make her happy!

You might feel like you'll never be ready to have kids, but the reality is that you may NEVER feel ready. If you're married, consider taking the step of obedience in bearing children! In today's message, Pastor Dan says that despite what the world says, the Bible says that marriage is a gift from God, and that children are a source of happiness, joy, and a reward from Him. Getting the opportunity to raise disciples to love Christ, who will then go out and make more disciples, is a HUGE honor! 

Today we heard from Pastor Dan, as he shared a recap of what we've been learning this year, how to be Bold as Lions!

Pastor Dan talks about how we are called to follow Christ and invite others to know Jesus too. Scripture reading: Luke 5:1-11. 7-5-26 The Examined Life: Called to Follow Dan Petrak

On this celebration of America's 250th birthday, Pastor Dan opens both 2 Samuel and Psalms to challenge us with the responsibilities that come with freedom.

Although culture may see getting married as a burden, Christians think otherwise. Marriage is a wonderful gift from God that's cherished and lifted. What better way to exhibit the Gospel than to live for Him in marriage? In today's message, Pastor Dan talks about the beauty of marriage and its correlation to Christ. Just as He will never give up on you, husbands and wives should never give up on each other. A Holy covenant doesn't get broken in marriage, AND the same goes for your salvation in Christ.

Acts 24:22-27 | 06.28.2026

In a world where it's encouraged to avoid marriage and children, God says to do BOTH of those things! If God provides a partner, be countercultural and marry that person! There's nothing more beautiful than getting the chance to exhibit Christ in your marriage. In today's message, Pastor Dan says that in marriage, it should be your desire to have children. Whether that's through conception, surrogacy, or adoption, growing a new generation of disciples of Christ and creating a ministry is important to the kingdom of God.

I love days when I get to sleep in. But sometimes, I take advantage of that time, and I sleep in on days that I need to get things done. If I continue to build a habit of getting up late, I'll never have a productive day in my life! In today's message, Pastor Dan says that if you have sin stuck in your life, you'll never move forward with God. Sanctification is the process of becoming more Holy, and if you're holding something from God because you don't want to let it go, well, then it'll be hard to grow in Holiness. 

Typically, we go to the hospital because we're sick, and we need to be healed. Other than that, there's no reason to be there. Many people try to turn to God AFTER they fix their life, but never consider that maybe God will do that all on His own. In today's message, Pastor Dan says that God will show mercy to those who will openly turn and trust Him. Your life doesn't need to be perfect, and you don't need to know everything right away. A heart of love and obedience is always the first step.

This week, Pastor Dan and Pastor Joe discuss ways they are intentional with raising their kids, talk about intentionality verses legalism, and delve deeper into this week's sermon, "Intentional."To watch this week's sermon, check it out on our Facebook page www.facebook.com/cometoconnect or head over to cometoconnect.com/most-recent-sermon

In Acts 9, Saul is stopped by a blinding light and that encounter with Jesus changes everything. He goes from darkness to light, from pride to surrender, from persecuting the church to preaching Christ. This week's message from Pastor Dan looks at the evidence of a real encounter with Jesus: a changed direction, a humbled heart, a praying life, a new family, and a witness that points others to Him.The light of Jesus doesn't just get your attention; it changes your direction.

At a job, we are given rules and guidelines to follow in order to maintain an orderly workplace. As employees, it's important to listen and agree to these rules in order to thrive in the workplace. In today's message, Pastor Dan says that to live as a Christian, you must submit to the authority of God. A Christian who doesn't treat Jesus as a Savior is nothing more than a lukewarm Christian. Would you say you fully submit to God? Or are you holding something back that you don't want to let go?

Have you ever started something with the best intentions, only to run out of steam? In this message, Pastor Dan Edmondson digs into 2 Thessalonians 3:13, where the apostle Paul gives a short but powerful charge to the church: "Do not grow weary in doing good." Drawing from personal stories of missionary work in Sierra Leone and his son's journey through Papua New Guinea and rural Mexico, Pastor Dan identifies four real obstacles that cause people to give up: disappointment, lack of planning, lack of vision, and lack of faith. He closes with a simple, unforgettable challenge involving a napkin and a Sharpie.Whether you're burned out from helping people who don't seem to change, unsure if your vision is big enough to matter, or quietly wondering if God is even paying attention, this message speaks directly to where you are. Naples Community Church meets Sundays at 10:00 AM at 849 7th Ave S, Naples, FL. Join us in person or online. Learn more and plan your visit at naplescommunitychurch.org.

Jesus said seemingly outrageous things, like ‘Do not think I have come to bring peace… Whoever loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me… Those who find their life will lose it.' Pastor Dan digs a little and finds good news in there.

"In the shaking, we find our song." Pastor Dan discusses how Psalm 30 describes David's faith - and how his testimony of rescue "from the pit" helped him find what truly matters.

Summary: Listen as teaches from the Word of God.
