Assorted Scriptures - Discovering My Life Purpose - Pastor Dan PlourdeMESSAGE NOTES:http://www.calvaryword.com/Topical/a1438.pdf

2025 is behind us and today is a new day. Join us today as Pastor Dan shares an inspiring word on Lifetree's vision and theme for 2026!

Pastor Dan talks about how we yearn to be known, and yet we scared to let people see us because we fear how we'll be judged by others. God knows us and all that we've done wrong, but he loves us instead of condemning us. Scripture reading: John 4:1-26.

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.

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 birds 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!

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.

What do you do when everyone around you tells you to do one thing, but your conscience tells you to do another? Will you allow your morals and code of ethics to be compromised by what is convenient, trendy, or comfortable? Today, Pastor Dan teaches that you have a calling in your life. Jesus has called you to follow Him, which might mean giving up some things. It might mean going against the grain of society. In the end, when Jesus calls you to “Go,” there can only be one response… “Where?”

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.

Nothing can stop God's plans from coming to fruition. When it came to Jesus' birth, God really wanted that to happen. It was His act of love to send His only Son just to be destined to die for your sins. Today, Pastor Dan will show you that when you look back at the prophecies about Jesus' birth, you can clearly see how God's plan did ultimately come to pass. This means there's a way to have eternal life through faith in Jesus. The real story behind Christmas is Jesus' birth, which started it all.

Luke 1:26-38 & 2:1-20 - The Christmas Story - Pastor Dan PlourdeMESSAGE NOTES:http://www.calvaryword.com/Topical/a1436.pdf

The real story behind Christmas is often lost in the hectic Christmas season. It's not reindeer or Christmas trees, and it's not even dinner around a warm table. It's the story of the birth of Jesus: when His earthly ministry began. Today, Pastor Dan's going to show you how prophecies from hundreds of years before pointed to Jesus' unique and miraculous birth. Everything in God's Word is accurate, and you can be sure when you read it that it's true. The real reason for Christmas is to remember Jesus' birth.

Join us for Part 4 of our Christmas Series with Pastor Dan!

Jesus came to the earth with a plan. He came to the earth just as God willed it. What was that plan? It was to make a way for you to come directly to The Father and be forgiven of your sins. It was all made possible by Jesus. Today, Pastor Dan's going to show you that every part of Jesus' life gave glory back to God, and that included His birth. He was born of a virgin, fulfilling centuries-old prophecies. The day Jesus was born is the day you remember now when you celebrate Christmas. That's where it all started.

Pastor Dan closes out the Atmosphere is Everything series with a powerful message titled Atmosphere ion Forever. 

Acts 17:30-34 | 12.22.2025

Pastor Dan preached that God sovereignly and graciously led unlikely seekers—the pagan wise men—to Jesus, proving that anyone who truly seeks Christ does so because God is already at work drawing them. He showed how Bethlehem's role fulfilled prophecy, confirming the reliability of Scripture, and emphasized that encountering Jesus produces joy that naturally overflows into worship expressed through obedience, giving, and devotion. #OhLittleTownOfBethlehem #SeekAndWorship #GodsSovereignPlan #FulfilledProphecy #JesusIsKing #ChristmasTruth #WorshipTheKing #CalvaryTilton

Even though you might celebrate Christmas every year, do you know the reason? Do you know where it all started? Today, Pastor Dan's going to show you that the very first Christmas was an act of love towards you. Jesus was sent to the earth, destined to live a perfect life and die as a sacrifice for your sins. The first step of Jesus' earthly life for your salvation was His miraculous birth. That day is what we celebrate on Christmas today. It mustn't be overlooked in all the hustle of the holiday season.

This week, Pastor Dan and Pastor Joe discuss Christmas traditions, talk about living with both hope and readiness, and delve deeper into this week's sermon, "A Purified Bride."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

You can do anything you want in order to achieve or earn eternal life, but you won't find it without Jesus. Without Him, you can't find true peace for your soul. Today, Pastor Dan's going to show you where that peace is found. It's through the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross. He came to earth and died for you. His whole ministry started with His miraculous birth through His virgin mother. That day is why we celebrate Christmas. That's the true story behind all the hustle and bustle and celebration of Christmas today.

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

Pastor Dan's devotional points us beyond the manger to the glory of who Jesus truly is—fully God and fully man—using Colossians 1:15–20 to answer the question, “What Child Is This?” He explains that the baby Mary held was the Creator, Sustainer, and Savior, the One who reconciles sinners to God through His death and resurrection. He closes by clearly presenting the gospel and inviting listeners to put their trust in Christ, the greatest gift of Christmas.#Christmasology #WhatChildIsThis #Colossians1 #JesusIsGod #TrueMeaningOfChristmas #GospelTruth #ChristIsPreeminent #CalvaryBaptist #MaryDidYouKnow

God became a man the day that He sent Jesus to the earth. Jesus was God in human form. He lived a perfect life as a man, so He could be the perfect sacrifice for your sins. Today, Pastor Dan's going to point you back to where it all started: the first Christmas. While it wasn't like we see it today, with the lights and wrapped gifts, it was important. It was miraculous. That's the true story behind Christmas. That's where it all started. And all of it came in God's perfect timing, according to His plan.

Jesus came to the earth for a reason. At the exact time God had planned, He sent Jesus to the world to be born of a virgin on the first Christmas night. That's the reason we celebrate Christmas. That's the true reason behind the lights, the presents, and the Christmas trees. Today, Pastor Dan will remind you that the first Christmas started the events of Jesus' life that would eventually lead to his sacrifice and resurrection. Jesus made a way for you to have eternal life by dying for your sins. In Him, you don't have to fear death or eternity. In Him, you're secure.

Through Jesus's resurrection, you have salvation. His controversial but perfectly lived life leading up to it all started on that first Christmas through the virgin birth. That's the miraculous event we celebrate at Christmas: the real reason for the season. Pastor Dan's going to remind you in today's message that it's a story of love. It's The Father's love for you that was so great, He sent His only Son to the earth to be a sacrifice for your sins so you could be forgiven. That first Christmas in Bethlehem started it all.

As the final capstone to our Majesty and Mystery series, LIFE Pastor, Dan Burrell, and LIFE Worship Pastor, Jason Lanier, host a roundtable discussion regarding what we have learned about worship and how to apply these things to our lives. 

Sometimes we complain about something small, but deep down, it's about something much bigger. The Israelites grumbled about the manna, but the real issue wasn't the menu; it was their hearts. They'd lost trust in the God who provided it. Pastor Dan will explain to you today how you do the same thing when you fixate on surface frustrations while ignoring the deeper struggle underneath. God isn't afraid of your honesty, but He wants more than your complaints. He wants you to trust that His ways are good.

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.

Protestants don't know quite what to do with the Virgin Mary: worship her? Call upon her in times of need? From the Gospel of Luke, we know that Mary was anything but a weak young woman. Pastor Dan shares inspiration from Mary's ‘Magnificat' prayer.
