Acts 10:1-16 | 05.18.2025

Pastor Dan Bult emphasizes the true meaning of the gospel, arguing that it encompasses more than just salvation from sin; it also includes the teachings and miracles of Jesus that reflect the power of God. He highlights the importance of preaching the full gospel, as it is the key to experiencing God's power, which can lead to healing and miracles. Pastor Dan also addresses the concept of the Kingdom of God, stressing that understanding and living in accordance with kingdom principles is vital for believers. He concludes by noting that the keys to the kingdom allow access to deeper understanding and faith, setting the stage for further exploration in the next sermon.

Episode 1: Dan answers the question “Is God disappointed with you?”

Jesus came to fulfill the law of the Old Testament. He was what the feasts pointed to. As you look at the celebratory feasts in Leviticus today with Pastor Dan, you'll get to see how they weren't just meant for the Israelites in that time. They're for you today. You can see how they worked together to symbolize the life and crucifixion of Jesus, the church age, and Jesus' second coming. All the books of the Bible work together to tell the individual stories throughout and to tell the overarching story of Jesus.

The celebratory feasts in Leviticus might seem at first that they're just times of remembrance for what God had done. They were the times to give thanks back to Him, too. Today, you'll get to explore the other meanings of those feasts with Pastor Dan. They mean so much more when you look to the New Testament, too. The traditional feasts point to the church and to Jesus. They symbolize Jesus' life, death, resurrection, and second coming. The books of the Bible work together to point to Jesus. 

Join us as Pastor Dan, Ryan & Mike discuss the idea of the wilderness and the imagery invoked throughout the Scriptures.

The feast of passover in Leviticus was to remember the time when all the Israelites, with the blood of a spotless lamb on their doorpost, were passed over by the angel of death. Through the blood sacrifice of a perfect lamb, they were safe. They were saved. Today, you'll get to see the parallels of that day with Jesus Christ. Pastor Dan will show you that the feast celebrating the Passover points to Jesus in the New Testament. He was perfect and without sin, so He could be the final sacrifice for you.

God's Word works together in its entirety from the Old to the New Testament to tell of mankind's history and hope for salvation. It all points to Jesus Christ. Today, Pastor Dan will explain how the feasts the Israelites celebrated in Leviticus are part of that picture. Back then, they were to celebrate what God had done for them and to remind the people of God's goodness. Now, you can see how they point to Jesus and His sacrifice, the first church, and to the day He finally returns to earth in His second coming.

Pastor Dan looks at the continuing Easter story when Jesus shows himself to the disciples. What happens when Jesus shows up in our lives?

In today's message, Pastor Dan will examine the rules laid out in Leviticus concerning multiple forms of sexual sin. This can be a very personal and controversial issue. People have attached much of their identity to this aspect of their lives. It's become an idol for many, and their urges and feelings have been given a position of authority they shouldn't have. God is the authority, but He won't force anyone into obedience, and we can expect to experience the consequences when we choose to serve self.

Luke 18:1-8 - The Father Who Loves Me -  Pastor Dan PlourdeMESSAGE NOTES:http://www.calvaryword.com/Luke/a1401.pdf

In this message, Pastor Dan shares from Joshua 2 about Rahab — a young woman living in a dark culture who, despite her past, became a hero of faith. Through "rumors in the desert," Rahab heard about the God of Israel and chose to believe, risking everything for her family and her future. Pastor Dan reminds us that God meets us where we are — not once we have it all together, but right in the middle of our brokenness. Just like Rahab, God can use anyone who says "yes" to Him. No matter your story, His love is for you.
