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. 

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.

Remember playing dodgeball and always staying at the back line—never really in the action, just trying not to get hit? That's how some of us live out our faith. We're on the edge of the court. We stay close enough to look like we're a part of it, but far enough to feel safe. We go through the motions, but we're not all in. Today, Pastor Dan will tell you that Jesus didn't call you to play it safe; He called you to step forward, to trust Him completely. Don't miss out on the fullness of life He's offering right now.

Are you on the road to Bethlehem or the North Pole? In “Get Back On The Right Road", Pastor Dan continues our Christmas series "Return To Bethlehem". Christmas presents us with two paths: the broad highway leading to a consumer-focused holiday centered on Santa and gifts, or the narrow road to Bethlehem that prioritizes Jesus Christ, which are you on?If you want to contribute to support the ministry of CONVO Church, you can give securely online at http://convochurch.com/give​​​​​Scripture References | NLTIsaiah 9, verse 6Matthew 7, verses 13-14John 14, verse 62 Corinthians 11, verses 1-5 & 13-15Psalms 116, verses 6-8Proverbs 22, verse 6Proverbs 14, verse 26CONVO Church is led by Pastors Craig & Cara Dyson.

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.

Acts 17:22-29 | 12.14.2025

Message from service on December 14, 2025Scripture: Matthew 1:18-19

Pastor Dan continues the series with a message titled 'Atmosphere of Praise'.

Pastor Dan continues the series with a message titled 'God With Us'.

Join us as Pastor Dan continues in the series 'Atmosphere Is Everything' with a message titled 'God In Us'. 

Praise leads the way. That's such a profound point. Before the battles, before the breakthroughs, before the blessings, praise went out front. Pastor Dan will share with you today how the same is true for you. When you choose to worship God before you see the outcome, you're declaring your trust in His power and goodness. Praise isn't just a response to victory; it's what prepares the way for it. When you lead with praise, you remind your heart that He's already worthy, no matter what comes next.

When God led Israel through the wilderness, He went before them as a cloud by day and a fire by night. He was shade from the scorching sun and warmth in the dark, cold hours. Today, Pastor Dan will share with you how that same God leads you through the deserts of life. Jesus is your covering when the heat of trial bears down and your warmth when the cold of fear sets in. He doesn't just point the way: He is the way. Every step, every season, He remains your faithful guide and constant presence.

It's amazing how something so small can have such a big impact. Jesus said a little yeast works through the whole batch of dough, and the same is true in our lives and communities. A quiet compromise or an unaddressed sin can spread and affect everyone around us. Pastor Dan will explain to you today that it's so important to deal with sin honestly and lovingly. You're called to forgive, but forgiveness doesn't mean ignoring what's wrong. It means seeking restoration and keeping Christ at the center.

When we feel like we are all alone we need to remember that Jesus will walk into the darkness of our lives and redeem us! Pastor Dan Hooper Jr. teaches us that God knows us better than anyone on the planet and better than ourselves.

This week, Pastor Dan and Pastor Joe discuss our very many Christmas services, nerd out about Old Testament prophecy/fulfillment, and delve deeper into this week's sermon, "With Us."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

Acts 17:16-21 | 12.07.2025

Imagine with me for a second…you have a need at 2 am… honestly, how many of your neighbors would wake up at the unreasonable time and help you out? Probably not very many. Pastor Dan will share in today's message that God contradicts the imposed and mostly likely tired and annoyed neighbor. Unlike us, God doesn't sleep. He is available to you 24/7! There isn't a time of day or night that He isn't ready to hear from you and offer comfort and guidance for whatever you're facing!

Joshua 11:1-15 - Faith Never Quits - Pastor Dan PlourdeMESSAGE NOTES:http://www.calvaryword.com/Joshua2025/a1433.pdf

Pastor Dan talks about how we so easily fear what other people think of us instead of focusing on doing God's will. Scripture reading: Matthew 1:18-25.

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

Pastor Dan reminded us that before Christ saved us, we lived like slaves under sin, but in the fullness of time God sent His Son to redeem us and adopt us as His own. Through the Spirit, believers now live as free children of God—not in fear, not in legalism, but in the joyful confidence of sons and heirs. The call is simple: stop living like slaves when Christ came to make us free.#Galatians4 #FreedomInChrist #ChildOfGod #Adoption #Redeemed #ChristmasHope #PastorDan

Giving, whether to charity, the Church, or simply your time, isn't about the amount…it's about the sacrifice you make to give it. It's about the humble generosity that our hearts must take in order to give an honorable offering. In today's message, Pastor Dan will share the story of a woman who gave ALL she had just to please Jesus. Pastor Dan teaches that her gift wasn't traditional in any sense, but her heart was authentically thankful! What posture does your heart take when you give?

Followers of Christ have one purpose and one purpose only: to love the Lord! We should ALL have consecrated, set apart, wildly different-looking lives than everyone else! Why? Because we have experienced deep love and true purpose that other people only dream of. In today's message, Pastor Dan will really challenge you to remember what Christ did for you on the cross... How does your life reflect admiration and profound thanks for the loving work Jesus did for you? 

Pastor Dan continues the series 'Recharge'

Pastor Dan continues the Series 'Recharge' with a message titled 'Surely Goodness'. 

Wherever you are in your walk with Christ, whether you've been a Christian for 2 months or 10 years, God wants you to know that He is a generous God to those who walk uprightly! That is a fact straight from the Bible! Meaning, God will bless the faithful, the righteous, and those dependent on Him! In today's message, Pastor Dan will remind you that first and foremost, God is a charitable giving God. He truly loves you and wants to bless you! So, live into those blessings and be faithful, righteous, and God dependent!!!

In this Advent message, Pastor Dan reminds us that hope isn't something we have to hold onto with white-knuckled faith; real hope is something that holds us. When life shakes, when we feel weak, or when the future feels uncertain, God offers a hope that stabilizes us, strengthens us, and pulls us forward. Discover how the arrival of Jesus brings a steady, unshakable hope that carries us, not because we're strong, but because He is.

Christianity is a public religion; being a Christian is a public relationship with God. We see all over the Bible that people would make changes to their physical appearance and make life-altering choices just to honor God and reflect what He was doing in their lives. In today's message, Pastor Dan will challenge you to honor God with physical changes to your life. If someone were to look at your life…look at your habits and hobbies…would they see clearly, without a doubt that you're a follower of Christ?

Acts 17:10-15 | 11.30.2025

Pastor Dan explores the meaning of Advent through Isaiah 2, Romans 13, and Matthew 24, contrasting modern Christmas consumerism with the early Christian expectation of Christ's return. It emphasizes the promise of God's final judgment over evil and the hope of Christ reigning over all creation. Listeners are called to move from merely believing in Jesus to believing Jesus—being born again, living watchfully, and preparing their hearts for the coming King.

We live in a world where just about everything is accessible to us, and we're encouraged to do what feels good. The Bible teaches that that is not godly. Not everything, good or bad, is going to be helpful for our development as Christians. In today's message, Pastor Dan will encourage you to pray before you make any choices. Just because it feels right, or some other Christian is doing it, doesn't mean it is okay for you. You should ask God for direction in all your decisions and endeavors!

Joshua 10:1-15 - Winning the Battles of Life - Pastor Dan PlourdeMESSAGE NOTES:http://www.calvaryword.com/Joshua2025/a1432.pdf

Sunday's message was one for the books! “Lose What You Cannot Keep, To Gain What You Cannot Lose” — a reminder that surrender isn't losing… it's trading lesser things for the life Jesus is actually offering us.

Join us for part 1 of our Christmas Series "He Is" with Pastor Dan!

Jesus tells us and even models for us that forgiveness is the ultimate way to show love! In today's message, Pastor Dan will share a direct story from the Bible where Jesus completely forgives a woman, and it shocks the disciples. You'll learn in this story that love is an action, it's patience, it's forgiveness, and it's humble servanthood. As you go throughout your day, ask yourself how you can show the love of Christ to those you come into contact with; Not just with words, but with your actions!!!

When we encounter Christ and our lives are changed, we generally have some conviction of the things we've done or even are doing. There isn't any condemnation; you don't have to carry the weight of your sin anymore, but you probably have some wrongs to right. In today's message, Pastor Dan reaches that no matter what you've done or when you did it, there is forgiveness for you! There is still time for you to make things right with that person and share Jesus' love and forgiveness with them!

Summary: Listen as teaches from the Word of God.

Paul outlines how salvation is by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone, for the glory of God alone. Subsequently, God has brought together Jews and Gentiles into one Body of Christ. This Church is built on the foundation of Christ and the testimony of Scripture. Pastor Dan walks us through the gospel message of Ephesians 2.

Thanksgiving is a time to give thanks for what we have. Pastor Dan suggests that we should also give thanks for our losses, deprivations, and setbacks. What might it mean to give thanks for our scars?

Acts 17:1-9 | 11.23.2025

Pastor Dan's sermon emphasized the need for believers to stay faithful in prayer—with focus, consistency, and thanksgiving—and to intentionally ask God for open doors to share the gospel clearly. He reminded the church to walk wisely before unbelievers, using time well and speaking with gracious, Christ-honoring words that point people to the hope of salvation. Ultimately, he called the church to begin each day asking God for boldness and opportunities to witness. #Colossians4 #PrayWithThanksgiving #GospelWitness #WalkInWisdom #SeasonedWithSalt

When we are stuck in a season of sadness we need a blueprint to get out. Pastor Hooper Sr. gives us the greatest blueprint of all, God's blueprint, so that you will grow through this, not just go through this.
