    At Calvary – Episode 126 – Pets. We Love Them

    Lassie, Fido, Mr. Wiskers. These are some famous names of some famous pets. I am thinking a bit today about pets. Why do we have them? What do they mean to us? Let’s think about that together At Calvary… Looking for more? You can always find all of the episodes right here…

  • Just Adore God

    Just Adore God

    When we talk about why we are on the earth, the answers are usually us centered.  We speak of finding fulfillment and purpose.  We speak of God having a wonderful plan for our lives.  Can you imagine doing that with any other friend (and keeping them)?  I can just imagine…Josh asks Kevin why he is friends with…

    A God-Sized Life

    In Acts 4 we read this incredible thing: 32 And the congregation of those who believed were of one heart and soul; and not one of them claimed that anything belonging to him was his own, but all things were common property to them. 33 And with great power the apostles were giving testimony to the resurrection of…

    At Calvary – Episode 125 – By Grace We Are Saved

    Grace. Love. Faith. Although not every short word is deep with meaning, these are words that are full of meaning. When it comes to grace, we are talking about a profound meaning. However, for the grace of God to have real significance to us it cannot be just an idea. We must let it be…

  • God’s Love… Our Love

    God’s Love… Our Love

    The word “love” is a good word. It makes us feel warm inside. However, there is an aspect to God’s love that challenges us. His love challenges who we love. His love challenges how we love. For God “love” means more than we might yet understand. 38 “You have heard that it was said, ‘AN…

    At Calvary – Episode 124 – How Much Holiness is Too Much?

    “That man is so Heavenly minded that he is of no earthly good.”? The quote is a warning of sorts. It is a warning against a type of religion that makes a person disconnected from the real problems and struggles of everyday life. Sometimes, it is a warning about unplugging from this life because a…

  • Facing Sin – Fight!

    Facing Sin – Fight!

    Jesus has some strong words about removing sin in our lives. He says, “ If your right eye makes you stumble, tear it out and throw it from you; for it is better for you to lose one of the parts of your body, than for your whole body to be thrown into hell. If…

    At Calvary – Episode 123 – The Fear of Death

    Death. A light subject, right? I was wondering the other day about our death superstitions. So, I looked them up. Wow! We have a lot of superstitions about death! Have you ever noticed that? Have you noticed your own? Have you thought about why we have them? Let’s think about that together At Calvary… Looking…

    Wow – The Love of God!

    I want to think long about how God has loved us. The goal? That we might respond the way the Bible writers respond when they are thinking about the love of God. I thought that it might help to illustrate those examples to help our thinking… Think of King David… 5 You have enclosed me behind…

    At Calvary – Episode 122 – Radical Generosity

    We teach our children to share. Yet, at some point we embrace the idea that some sharing is too much. When we look at the New Testament Church we see a radical type of generosity. Which is right – radical generosity or careful sharing? Let’s think about that together At Calvary… Looking for more? You…
