    At Calvary – Episode 56b – Revolution – Getting Real about Change

    “Getting real” is an expression we use when we are truly ready to be honest or truly ready to act. Getting real with God is that point when we transition from talking about giving up our bad habits, unhealthy coping methods, and sinful choices to actually taking steps to give them up. This means we…

    Worried about What to Say?

    We all do it.  We have an important meeting with an old friend or a time of encouragement with someone who is struggling, and what do we do?  We worry about what we will say.  When we are trying to witness to a lost co-worker or friend, what do we do?  We worry about what…

    At Calvary – Episode 55b – Revolution – No Debt Outstanding

    How difficult do you find honesty and transparency to be? If you are like most people, you probably feel like you have to hide parts of yourself from others. It might be that those areas are too personal. It might be that those parts embarrass you. We all have those areas, but have we thought…

    Understanding the Real Struggle

    Our world is just so real.  There are real rocks, real trees, and real people.  Everyday, we get ourselves ready to deal with those real things.  We follow road signs.  We listen to people.  We use training and skills for work.  We feel ready. (for the most part!)

    At Calvary – Episode 54b – Revolution – Getting Honest with God

    Honesty. We all know that strong relationships are based upon honesty and truth. Yet, the most important relationship of our life – the one with God – often is filled with cover-ups and half-truths. The ironic thing is… God knows the truth! Unless we acknowledge and accept the consequences of the truth, there will be…

    Why We Need Others

    I would imagine there are exceptions, but not many people plan to be heretics.  They don’t start out wanting to believe things that undermine the gospel.  They didn’t plan to lead others astray.  They didn’t start out hoping that they would be an enemy of the gospel of Jesus.  Yet, Paul declares that there were…

    At Calvary – Episode 53b – Revolution – Yielded to God

    Yield signs. They mean that we are supposed to let someone else go first. Have you thought about that with God? Do we yield to Him? This week’s invitation to be transformed by God is this – We make a conscious and voluntary decision to turn our life and will over to the care of…
