COMMUNION SERVICE - SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 20, 2022

On Sunday, we will be celebrating The Lord's Supper in the morning worship service.  This celebration is in reverence of our Savior's death on the cross to provide salvation for our sins.  He laid His own life down to make a way for us to gain eternal redemption through the shedding of His own blood.  This precious gift of salvation is available to all who will receive it.  

Romans 8:34: "Christ Jesus who died—more than that, who was raised to life—is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us."

John 3:16: "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life."

Prepare your hearts and minds for this special service to remember what Jesus did for us, because He loves us with an everlasting love.

Please join us in person or online for the message from the Scriptures.  Everyone is welcome!

SUNDAY MORNING WORSHIP AND PREACHING - FEBRUARY 13, 2022

This Sunday, February 13, Pastor Brian will open up the book of Ephesians, Chapter 6, with a special message to the children and the relationship they should have with their parents.  Just as God has a design for the Christian marriage, He has a specific design for parenting children in a Christian family, especially concerning the relationship between the children and their parents.  No family is perfect, but we can strive to be obedient to God's Word as we live our individual lives within the family unit.  His Word is our Guide, and He always keeps His promises as we diligently and consistently seek His counsel.  Please join us, either online or in person, to find out more!  Everyone is welcome!!

SUNDAY MORNING SERVICE AND CHILDREN'S CHURCH - FEBRUARY 6, 2022

This Sunday, Pastor Brian returns to our study of the book of Ephesians - Chapter 5 in the sermon series "The Marks of the Spirit-Filled Life".  The focus this week will be on Verses 28-33, which describes for us in more detail how a husband should love his wife in a way that mirrors Christ's love for the Church, His Bride.  Christian marriages should demonstrate Christ's love, living out the Biblical view of marriage that God Himself ordained.  When a Christian husband and wife embrace this truth, their marriage can stand as a witness of the grace of Christ to all those around them.  

We invite you to join us, in person or online, to look into the deeper meaning of a Christian marriage.  Everyone is welcome!!

SUNDAY MORNING SERVICE & CHILDREN'S CHURCH - JANUARY 23, 2022

Admist all of the chaos in our world today, God is still changing lives!  This Sunday, we will be hearing some testimonies from people whose lives have been impacted by the Word of God through the power of the Holy Spirit.  2 Corinthians 4:7-9 reminds us:

7 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.
8 We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in depair;
9 Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed;

When we, by faith, come to the realization fully what Jesus did for us on the cross--leaving heaven to become the God-man to suffer persecution and die a horrible death on the cross--to provide a way of forgiveness of sins, it is a very humbling realization.  Trials and challenges provide opportunities to build our faith and trust in God.  Genuine faith is faith that believes in and obeys God, acting in response to the Word of God and according to the Word of God.  We will suffer in this life, but faith in God gives us the assurance that He will keep His promises to never leave or forsake us, to hold us in the palm of His hand, and to guide us through this life and into eternity with Him.

Come, or listen online, and be encouraged!  Everyone is welcome!

MORNING WORSHIP AND CHILDREN'S CHURCH - DECEMBER 12, 2021

This Sunday, Pastor Brian will present the second half of his sermon series - "Christmas:  The Manifestation of God's Glory".  Last Sunday, we were reminded that when we look upon the Lord Jesus Christ, we are witnessing God Incarnate, meaning God becoming man.  An angel of the Lord appeared to the shepherds with the Good News about the birth of the Messiah.  The birth of Jesus, the Savior of the world, is a vibrant expression of God's genuine and authentic love for mankind.  Jesus was born - He lived a perfect life as the God-Man ... perfectly God and perfectly man, because He knew no sin.  God's plan of salvation began with the birth of His Son and carried out through His life, death, burial, resurrection, and ascension back to the Father.  How great is our God's  love for us!

This week, we will learn about how it is possible for "God to dwell with man" and how "God revealed grace and truth to man" -- all through Jesus Christ!  Jesus is "GOD WITH US"!!!  Come and hear more about the true meaning of Christmas!!!  REJOICE WITH US!!!  Everyone is welcome!

Communion Service - November 28, 2021

HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL!!!

Thanksgiving is a time to express our love and appreciation to all those who have made an impact in our lives.  It is a time to give God thanks for everything that He is and for all that He has done. 

Colossians 3:16  Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God.

On Sunday, November 28, we will celebrate Communion, The Lord's Supper.  Just as the disciples made preparation for the Last Supper with Jesus, we are to make preparation by examining our hearts and minds, asking forgiveness for our mistakes, offering forgiveness to those who have wronged us, and especially thanking God for giving us Jesus to take our place on the cross and making a way for us to be saved.  As often as we partake of Communion, we are remembering His sacrifice until He returns to take us home to be with Him for all eternity.  What a day that will be!!!  Jeremiah 31:3 - "...I have loved you with an everlasting love ..."

The service begins at 10:30 a.m. - everyone is welcome!

MORNING WORSHIP - NOVEMBER 13, 2021

This Sunday, in continuing our highlight of National Adoption Month - November, Rev. Rick Carder, Director of Church Engagement/Foster Care of White's Family Services, will be with us to provide more information from the Scriptures about how Christians are called to  help children in need.  God Himself is the "father of the fatherless" (Psalm 68:5) and He "supports the fatherless and the widow" (Psalm 146:9).  God, through His Son Jesus, is the supreme example we are to follow each day.  When God saved us, He put His Light within each of us.  Matthew 5:16 tells us:  "Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven".  

Come and see how you can make a difference in the life of a child, whether it be through adoption, becoming foster parents, or engaging in other ministries that bring God's love to children.  Everyone is welcome!!!

MORNING WORSHIP - OCTOBER 17, 2021

This week, Pastor Brian Pinson will be turning us the Book of Revelation.  In Chapter 2:1-7, we read of the divinely-inspired letter to the church at Ephesus.  The message in this letter is still relevant to us today.  The Ephesians were very diligent in their work for God, but Verse 4 says that they had lost their first love ... their love for God.  It is easy to get so caught up in our "works" for God that we can lose sight of protecting and pursuing our "love for and relationship with God".  In Matthew 22, Jesus tells us that we are to love the Lord thy God with ALL our heart, ALL our soul, and ALL our mind.  Our love and devotion for God must come first!  When we have that kind of love for Him,  the work that we do in His kingdom will again be motivated by our love for Jesus Christ, our Savior, and what He did for us. 

We invite you to join us as we hear more about this vital passage of Scripture.  The service begins at 10:30 a.m., and everyone is welcome!!

PASTOR APPRECIATION SUNDAY - OCTOBER 10, 2021

This Sunday is Pastor Appreciation Sunday at Calvary Baptist Church.  This special service allows the Staff and Congregation an opportunity to express their love and appreciation to our Senior Pastor Brian Pinson and to our Associate Pastor Craig Ison for all of the hard work they do for our church.  A pastor has a huge responsibility, and an accountability to God, to lead the members into all truth, using the infallible Word of God.  Many hours of study and prayer are necessary to prepare a sermon or a Bible study lesson that is going to align with what the Lord knows we need to hear.  God knows what we need, and He uses the gifts of our Pastors and other leaders to meet those needs.  Preaching/teaching is just one of the duties of a Pastor ... so, please take the time to express your appreciation, support, and encouragement to our Pastors whenever you have an opportunity as they diligently pursue their calling in the Lord's work for His glory.  

Everyone is welcome - especially members - to join us this Sunday for worship service and some special activities.  Children's Church will also be available.  Please remember to pray for all of our church leaders and members that we will continue to grow as disciples of Christ and as witnesses of His Gospel Message.  All of the glory belongs to Him alone!!

WORSHIP SERVICE - SEPTEMBER 26, 2021

This Sunday, Pastor Brian Pinson will preach the second and final sermon in the series "Living in Light of the End", which is based from 1 Peter 4:7-11.  In this passage, the Apostle Peter was moved by the Holy Spirit to address the early Church that was facing severe persecution.  Instead of expressing sympathy, Peter uses the persecution and trials in their lives to cast light upon the greater truths of the Christian faith!  This message still holds true today!!

* There is something greater than this perishing world.
* This world is not our permanent dwelling place.
* Our future in Christ has been signed, sealed, and delivered.

In anticipation of our Savior's return, there are three priorities that should be evident in a Christian's life, especially now:

1 - We are to be clear-headed and disciplined!
2 - We are to be filled with love!
3 - We are to be intensified to serve!

Please join us to hear more details about how we are to "go about our Father's business" as we await His return!  Everyone is welcome!
