It's our 11th birthday. Which means we're officially old enough to think we know everything… and still young enough to need a ride. This week we're talking about growth — not the kind that's about numbers on a screen, but the kind that decides whether the Gospel keeps moving forward or quietly fades into the background. Paul writes 2 Timothy knowing he's about to die. He doesn't make a five-year plan. No leadership conference. Just a final charge: Are we passing the baton… or just holding it? Are we running our race — or coasting? And here's the tension: "Christ will preserve His Church. But whether we're part of that mission is something we'll answer for." It's hopeful. It's direct. It's a rally cry. Hit play. Let's run. www.NewChurch.Love

Today's sermon is The Rebellious Son and The Repentant Father by Frank Ramseur Find more teaching from Pastor Frank at www.calvarychatt.com

Pastor Frank is joined by Ryan Smith, Donovan Coughlin, Peggy Bruning, Anne Lowery, and Kenny Engels to update the church on ministry happening in and from our church.

Romans is the book you read and then think, "Well… that escalated quickly." It's the book that calmly says things like, "None is righteous." "You can't fix this." "Your best effort still isn't enough." Which is not usually how you start a motivational talk. Romans is also the book that says, "But now…" "There is no condemnation." "Nothing can separate you from the love of God." So if you've ever wondered: Why Christianity isn't just self-improvement Why trying harder doesn't bring peace Or why Paul sounds like he's arguing with everyone at once This letter is for you. Today we're doing a flyover of Romans—not because it's simple, but because it's essential. And fair warning: Paul is going to take apart everything we trust to make ourselves feel okay… before giving us something better.

Southside Tribe! In this episode, Ameen and KB are joined by longtime friend and ministry leader Frank Gil for a deep and timely conversation about Gen Z, student ministry, and the Church's responsibility in a spiritually hungry moment. From the privilege and purpose of youth ministry to Gen Z's longing for sacred practices, authenticity, and transcendence, this episode challenges the Church to move beyond gimmicks and comfort toward real discipleship. It's an honest call to steward this moment well—before a generation searching for the real Jesus finds everything else but Him. Come thru!

Today's sermon is GraceStruck by Frank Ramseur Find more teaching from Pastor Frank at www.calvarychatt.com

What if the thing you're worried about… is something God isn't worried about at all? A lot of us grew up believing that strong faith attracts God—and weak faith pushes Him away. So we spend our lives checking our sincerity, measuring our consistency, and wondering if we're faithing hard enough for Jesus. But what if that whole framework is off? This sermon is for the person who takes Jesus seriously—but quietly wonders if they're doing good enough. For the person who wants to be faithful, but isn't sure their faith measures up. For anyone who's ever left church asking, "Am I okay with God?"

Most Christians don't struggle with belief. They struggle with connection. If you've ever wondered why your faith feels thinner than it used to… why patience runs out by Tuesday… why love feels more like effort than overflow… This sermon isn't about trying harder. It's about staying connected.

We talk about love all the time—but we usually mean like. We love chocolate. We love our favorite song. We love people who are easy to love. But that's not what Jesus means when He says, "Love one another." In this sermon, we flip love right-side up and ask what it actually looks like when love costs us something, shows up in ordinary life, and gets handed to people who didn't earn it. As it turns out, "The fruit of the Spirit is not for you—it's for the people God puts in your life." And that changes everything about faith, work, family, and the way we treat each other. Most of us understand the assignment, we just refuse to do it. This message digs into the Fruit of the Spirit, Lutheran theology of vocation, and why "We know the assignment. We just refuse to do it." It's honest, a little uncomfortable, and deeply freeing—because the Gospel reminds us that "You are not the source. You are not the goal. You are the delivery system." You don't need more love in your life—you need to give it away.

In this quick flyover of the Book of James: 1. Have you ever noticed his way of teaching sounds more like Jesus than any other epistle in the New Testament? 2. There's a lot of reminders that believing the right things are actually doing the right things are not the same things. 3. You'll want to put some ice on those bruises after you listen. Part of the Making Sense of the Bible series where Pastor Frank covers an entire book in one sermon.

Listen in as Pastor Frank interviews Sandy Shrader, wife of the late Tom Shrader, on his impact on Redemption Arcadia and his love for the Lord. 

Most of us don't struggle to believe in God. We struggle to believe that this moment isn't the whole story. When life hurts, we assume it's final. When the world feels broken, we wonder if God lost the plot. But the Bible isn't a collection of random stories or inspirational quotes. It's one story—honest, messy, and stubbornly hopeful—from beginning to end. Here's the line to hold onto today: If you ever find yourself in a bad situation, that doesn't mean the story is over. And this one's worth writing down: The only difference between a tragedy and a happily ever after is where you stop telling the story. Today we're going to take a flyover of the Bible—from Genesis to Jesus—to see the story God has been telling all along… and why your story is going somewhere good.

As 2025 comes to a close and we walk into 2026 we can plans and resolutions, but even more how do we align ourselves with God's vision and purpose for our lives. We can make a plan but God orders our steps.In this sermon Pastor Frank gives us practical steps to develop a godly vision for our lives.

Christmas is usually presented as a season for people who have it together—full houses, happy endings, and neatly wrapped joy. But the story we're given in Scripture tells a different truth. In this Christmas Eve message, we meet a God who comes not for the successful, but for the weary… not for the confident, but for the fearful… not for the winners, but for those who feel like life hasn't worked out the way they hoped. Through the words of Isaiah, the promise of the angels, and the story behind A Charlie Brown Christmas, we'll see how God's good news meets us in our disappointment, loosens our grip on false security, and gives us a gift we never thought could really be for us. This is the good news of great joy—for losers like us. "Faith doesn't make suffering disappear—it just means suffering doesn't get the last word." "Life keeps handing us empty boxes." "Sure, it's the same gift He gave you last year—but it's still the best."

Join us as Pastor Frank discusses the real world situation that demanded the arrival of Messiah.

In this first message of our Christmas Joy series, Pastor Frank shares the joy of the calling to follow Christ. God's calling may interrupt our plans, but it always leads to lasting joy when we trust His purpose. God's calling may cost you comfort, but it will never cost you His presence.

Matthew 5:33-48

“Not Today, Pastor Pushy” (Acts 19:1–7) Ever been told you're “not spiritual enough”? That you just need to feel it more, cry harder, or speak in tongues to prove you've got the Holy Spirit? Yeah… same. This week's message by Pastor Frank is about what it really means to be baptized in the name of Jesus— and how the Holy Spirit isn't something you earn by emotional gymnastics.

In our journey of faith, we often face trials that test our resolve and challenge our understanding of God's love.Today's message with Pastor Frank delves into James 1:2-4, reminding us to find joy in our trials, not because they're pleasant, but because they're purposeful. These challenges aren't punishments; they're opportunities for growth. Like a runner pushing through the wall in a marathon, we're called to let perseverance finish its work in us. This perspective shift can transform our approach to hardship, helping us see beyond immediate pain to the character and faith being built within us. As we embrace this truth, we become living testimonies, showing the world a joy and peace that transcends circumstances. This isn't just about individual growth; it's about becoming a church that doesn't quit when life gets hard, supporting each other through trials and shining Christ's light even brighter in dark times.The Gathering Church is located in Midland, Texas.You can watch our live worship experience online at mygathering.liveVisit our website at https://www.mygathering.churchConnect with us on Social Mediahttps://facebook.com/mgatheringhttps://Instagram.com/mygatheringhttps://Twitter.com/mygatheringGOD | COMMUNITY | PURPOSE
