  • At Calvary – Ep 18 – Heady Stuff… What is reality?

    Of the first fifteen most commonly asked questions on Google regarding theology, one of those questions is, “What is reality?” What makes real, real? That is heady stuff! For some of us, that question seems obvious – it’s all around us! However, is that all that is real? How can you know? Is there a…

  • Jesus is my Enough

    When was the last time you heard people sing with abandon about Jesus? I have two events every year when I am surrounded by people who are doing that. The first is my pastors’ conference in February. The second is camp. Being a part of a group like that reminds me of how precious our…

  • At Calvary – Ep 17 – Deep Thinking about Struggles Makes Me Think Deeply about Blessings

    Struggles happen in all of our lives. In philosophy and theology this subject is called the problem of evil. Today, let’s flip the topic over and talk about the wonder of blessing. Specifically, why are we geared to expect life to be good instead of hard? Why don’t we ask, “Why do good things seem…

  • Live it Out

    Paul said, “Be imitators of me, just as I also am of Christ.”  1 Corinthians 11:1 Quite a statement! It is just 11 words, but it speaks of Paul’s desire to see those around him become like Jesus.  It speaks of a type of discipleship that was more modeling than teaching.  It also speaks of a…

  • Walking With Each Other Toward Christ

    Commiserate. This word comes to us from two Latin words. It means to “lament with”. Commiserating happens when we walk with each other through our struggles. Have we really thought about how important walking together through struggles is? Paul shares with the church in Corinth that – “We had the sentence of death within ourselves…

  • At Calvary – Ep 16 – A Book Review – Coronavirus and Christ by John Piper

    So, is it the end of the world or not? Is the Coronavirus serious or has panic set in and has overblown everything? These questions are the types of questions we hear on the radio, news reports, and podcasts everywhere. We have had weeks of specials where artists have tried to share hope. The book,…

  • Bridge Building – Remember what Life is About!

    This week I invite you to think together with me about building bridges.  No, I don’t mean the type of bridges that we drive cars across.  I mean bridges between people.  Bridges are built by common interests.  Bridges are built by friendliness and a heart that is willing to listen.  Bridges are built by honesty…

  • At Calvary – Ep 15 – What is going on in the world other than the virus?

    So… it appears that the only thing happening in the world is the coronavirus pandemic. Believe it or not, there is a lot happening in the world, we just aren’t hearing it. So, Pastor John tries to cover some serious (and some not so serious) stories found in news sites like ABC, NBC, NPR, BBC…

  • Embracing the Everyday Power of the Resurrection

    It is one thing to say that God is with us. It is another to understand what that really means. When Paul tells the church in Ephesus for what he was praying, he reveals what God with us means.
