This Sunday, September 5, Associate Pastor Craig Ison will be delivering Part 6 of The Road to Recovery.  The sermon, "Repairing Relationships", focuses on Biblical ways to restore relationships - from harm done to us and for harm we have done to others.  God tells us in Ephesians 4:31-32: "Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger along with every form of maice.  Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ, God forgave you."

Our great God knew that in the flesh we would be hurt and hurt others.  However, God's specific command leaves no room to speculate on what He wants us to do to mend our relationships.  It is not easy - but it is possible through Jesus Christ.  We invite everyone to come and hear this very relevant message on our great need for God's forgiveness continually and our need to forgive others by the help of the Holy Spirit.  Everyone is welcome!!

Next Sunday, August 29th, Pastor Brian Pinson will lead the Communion Service.  Pastor Brian will present the message, which encourages listeners to pause and pray before partaking in the Lord's Supper.  Personal reflection is encouraged by God in Colossians 3:12-14 and helps us to focus our hearts and minds on the holiness of Jesus, our Savior, before taking Communion.

Colossians 3:12-14
 12 Therefore, God's chosen ones, holy and loved, put on heartfelt compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience, 
13 accepting one another and forgiving one another if anyone has a complaint against another. Just as the Lord has forgiven you, so also you must [forgive]. 
14 Above all, [put on] love-the perfect bond of unity.

Be in prayer this week for this special service.  Our life in Jesus Christ offers love, hope, and restoration for eternity!  If you do not know Him, now is the time!  Everyone is welcome!!!

If you were unable to be here in person or view the service online yesterday, please take time to visit our Facebook page to view the video.  The message delivered by Associate Pastor Craig Ison, entitled "Making Changes" outlined how God can help you make positive changes in your life when you come to Him willingly and with an earnest desire to accept His will in your life.  It will be well worth the time to watch!!!

Are you feeling anxious or worried about the current state of affairs within our world?  If we're honest, many of us, Christian and unbeliever alike, struggle with worry and/or anxiety.  This topic is not only a frequent topic in today's world, but it was a common theme in Jesus' teaching as well.  It's all about where we place our trust ... and God's Word gives us specific guidance.

This coming Sunday, Pastor Brian Pinson will be delivering the message "The Sin of Worry" from the Scriptures found in Luke - Chapter 12.  God knows that we will face challenges and uncertainties that could cause us to feel anxious or become worried, but with the power of God's Word and the leading of the Holy Spirit, we can learn how to increase Christ in our lives, leaving less room for anxiety and worry to creep in.

Please join us this Sunday, either in person or online, to hear this powerful message!  Everyone is welcome! 

This coming Sunday, Associate Pastor Craig Ison will continue the sermon series "The Road to Recovery".   This week's sermon, "Coming Clean",  teaches us how to learn to live guilt free, the way God wants us to live.  We have all made mistakes and have regrets.  We carry around guilt about things in our past, but God has mapped out in His Word how we can, through the power of the Holy Spirit, let go of that guilt.  Come and hear from the Scriptures how God can continue to transform our lives if we are willing to be obedient to His Word! 

We invite you to hear this vital message and find out how to break free from the chains of guilt.  Everyone is welcome!

Psalm 32:1-5
How blessed is he whose wrongdoing is forgiven, Whose sin is covered!  How blessed is a person whose guilt the Lord does not take into account, And in whose spirit there is no deceit!  When I kept silent about my sin, my body wasted away through my groaning all day long.  For day and night Your hand was heavy upon me; My vitality failed as with the dry heat of summer.  Selah
I acknowledged my sin to You, And I did not hide my guilt; I said, "I will confess my wrongdoings to the Lord"; And You forgave the guilt of my sin. Selah

WOW - WHAT A BLESSED WEEK!  

The "Catch the Fire" 2021 Youth Camp ends today with a special Christian concert tonight at 6:30 p.m., featuring Malachi and Darby Adcock from Bible Baptist Church.  Everyone is welcome!!!

MISSIONS SUNDAY - August 1st - 10:30 a.m.
This Sunday at Calvary Baptist Church we will be focusing on Missions.  Special speakers will provide updates on our efforts to support missions projects.  God calls us to spread His Gospel to the world!   Romans 10:13-15

For everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.  But how can they call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how can they believe without hearing about Him? And how can they hear without a preacher?  And how can they preach unless they are sent? As it is written: How welcome are the feet of those who announce the gospel of good things!

Come and join us this Sunday - find out how you can help spread the Good News of Jesus Christ throughout the world!  Everyone is welcome!!! 

YOUTH CAMP BEGINS ON MONDAY, JULY 26!!!!

Please join us for morning worship and preaching on Sunday morning, July 25th, beginning at 10:30 a.m.  Children's Church will also be available during the preaching.

Pastor Brian Pinson will be presenting the message "The Reality of Eternity!", taken from the Word of God in Luke 16:19-31.  In this passage, Jesus compares the lives, deaths, and eternal destinies of the "rich man" and Lazarus.  One man lived for himself and the other man lived for God.  

Just as there is a Heaven for those who die in Christ, there is a Hell for those who reject Him.  Come and hear what the Word of God tells us about Heaven and Hell, and find out how the way we live our lives determines our eternal destiny.  EVERYONE IS WELCOME!!!

Do you have any hurts, hang-ups, or habits that you want to overcome with God's help?  Are you suffering from grief and are having trouble moving on?  Has someone hurt you so badly that you cannot seem to get past it?  Do you have any habits that keep you in chains?  We all have problems and life issues, and God has the answers you need to break free!!  

Associate Pastor Craig Ison is preaching a sermon series called "The Road to Recovery", which addresses these personal life challenges.  Craig will be preaching the third message that can guide you to making a new or stronger commitment to following Jesus and applying God's Word to your life.

Sermon 1 - Realize I'm not God.
Sermon 2 - Earnestly believe that God exists, that I matter to Him, and that He has the power to help me recover.
Sermon 3 - Consciously choose to commit all my life and will to Christ's care and control.

We invite you to come join us as we journey on this Road to Recovery together through the power of the Holy Spirit and through the power of God's Word.  As long as we live in this world, we can choose to allow God to continually transform us to be more like Jesus, our Lord and Savior.  Everyone is welcome!!!

Please join us as Pastor Brian Pinson preaches a message from Psalm 150 entitled "Unmitigated Praise!".

We were created with a purpose - to give praise and worship unto Almighty God regardless of our circumstances.  Please join us at 10:30 a.m. this coming Sunday to find out more about why it is so important for a true believer and follower of Jesus Christ to continually have words of worship and praise on our lips!  Everyone is welcome!!!

Happy Independence Day!!!

July 4th is all about freedom!  Come to our morning worship service, which starts at 10:30 a.m., to join in praising God for the freedoms we have, not only in our country, but also in our relationship with God - the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.  Associate Pastor Craig Ison will be continuing his current sermon series, "The Road to Recovery".  There is not one person alive today who does not have some hurt, habit, or hang-up that he or she needs to bring before God.  This sermon series is based on the Celebrate Recovery life principles, which are based on the Beatitudes in the Word of God.

Last week we learned that the "R" in RECOVERY reminds us to "realize that I'm not God".  We don't have everything in our lives "all together".  Our awesome God  knows everything about our lives, our challenges, our mistakes, our weaknesses ... and He can deliver us through these issues through His will and His guidance - and His great love for us. 

This week, the sermon will be on the lesson theme "Earnestly believe that God exists, that I matter to Him, and that He has the power to help me recover".  As long as we are in this world, there will be battles we have to face - both great and small - and we will always stand in need before our God.  Join us this Sunday to unravel the second principle in our journey to  develop a closer relationship with God.  Everyone is welcome!!

It has been a wonderful week so far -- God has really blessed us all!  The weather is perfect for outside activities, and the kids are really excited to be here!  They are engaged in learning about Jesus and His Word through interactive Bible lessons in each activity and how His Word can be applied to their own lives!  We end each night with praise and worship through songs that focus their attention on Jesus as our Savior.  We have two more evenings this week -- Wednesday and Thursday -- and the the finale on Sunday morning at 10:30 a.m., where Pastor Brian will be presenting a special message for the kids.  We are praying that as many parents as possible will join us on Sunday so the kids can demonstrate what they have been learning this week.  Everyone is welcome!!!

VBS IS ALMOST HERE!!!

CALVARY BAPTIST CHURCH
1515 E STATE ROAD 10, KNOX, IN

June 14-17, 2021 -- 6 - 7:45 p.m. each night
Sunday, June 20, 2021 -- 10:30 a.m. VBS Final Session

"DESTINATION DIG" is the theme for the week - we look forward to sharing the love of Jesus with the kids of all ages!!!  Come join us for a week of blessings!

We will be celebrating The Lord's Supper this coming Sunday, May 30, in remembrance of the Lord Jesus - His death, burial, and resurrection - He willingly gave His life as the supreme blood sacrifice to cover our sins!  In Luke's Gospel, Chapter 22, verses 19 and 20, describes the reason that we celebrate.  "And when He had taken some bread and given thanks, He broke it and gave it to them, saying, 'This is My body which is given for you; do this in remembrance of Me.'  And in the same way He took the cup after they had eaten, saying, 'This cup which is poured out for you is the new covenant in My blood.'"  (NASB).  If you want to learn more about why we, as Christians, celebrate this remembrance of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, join us this Sunday!

Come celebrate with us!  Everyone is welcome!

You are invited to come worship with us this Sunday, May 9th, at 10:30 a.m.  at Calvary Baptist Church.  After the praise and worship part of our service, the children are dismissed to the classrooms for Children's Church, and Pastor Brian will continue his message about The Role of a Wife in a Godly Marriage, provided in the book of Ephesians.  The Bible, God's Holy Word, is clear on what comprises a Godly marriage.  In a world where the beauty and sanctity of marriage has been devalued and misrepresented, we must return to the Scriptures to remind us of what God's design is for marriage.  The expositional preaching of Ephesians in this sermon series continues to paint the picture of what God means by "living a Spirit-filled life".  Come be with us and let us study His Word together!!

If you are in the midst of troubles and not sure where to turn...always look to the Scriptures for strength and encouragement.

Read these Scripture verses and believe that they are true:

Proverbs 3:5-6          Jeremiah 17:7-8          Psalm 37:3          Psalm 56:4

1 John 4:16                 James 1:6                     Psalm 28:7          Psalm 16:1

Psalm 27:14               Hebrews 13:5               Isaiah 26:3           2 Corinthians 5:7

These are just a few verses to get you started!  Seek out the Scriptures and apply them to your life, and then see what a difference they can make!

**Don't forget Wednesday Night Bible Study!  Join us at 6:30 p.m. tonight at the church.

These are the words that you are most likely to hear upon your first visit to Calvary. The Body of Christ here at CBC is a warm and inviting group of "believers" who cherish not only one another, but each person that graces our front doors. It is our desire that you and your family come to know Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord, through the Biblical language of "love".

As the Pastor of Calvary Baptist, I am privileged to serve in this capacity, and my desire is to help God's people discover the joy and happiness that is to be found, in serving the One True God, the Lord Jesus Christ.

Each week, we endeavor to preach and teach the Word of God because it contains truths that Jesus promised would be given to guide us into a flourishing and rewarding relationship with Him. We also teach the Bible, because it contains the answers to many of life's problems and questions.

Join us on any given Sunday, or during one of our mid-week studies, and you too will discover that Calvary Baptist Church is an assembly who loves Christ and His people.

You may enter the doors as a stranger, but you will leave as a friend! We hope to meet you and your family!

In Christ,
Pastor Brian
