Calvary Chapel Bremerton - Sunday Service

Pastor Rick Beaudry exposits Ephesians 5:1–7, urging us to be followers of God who imitate Christ and “walk in love” as he loved us, offering ourselves as living sacrifices. He contrasts children of light with children of darkness, calling believers to holiness (rejecting fornication, uncleanness, covetousness, filthiness, foolish talk and jesting) and to a life marked by forgiveness, obedience and gratitude. Through personal testimony (including his conversion and marriage to Kathy) and pastoral examples (prayers and care for James, Linda and Sally), he illustrates sacrificial love, contentment, generosity and genuine repentance. He warns against cultural deception, challenges superficial professions of faith, and issues a sober call to examine our hearts and respond to Christ.

Pastor Rick Beaudry expounds Ephesians 4:25–32, urging us to respond to God's kindness by putting off five sins (lying, uncontrolled anger, stealing, corrupt speech, and bitterness) and by being kind, tender‑hearted, and forgiving as God forgave us. He weaves personal stories (a family camp song from Twin Peaks) with biblical examples (Joseph, Jesus cleansing the temple, Stephen) and practical counsel for marriage, church life, and conflict resolution. Beaudry also warns about contemporary deceptions from propaganda and AI to political and cultural lies and calls us to rely on the Holy Spirit to discern truth, restore relationships, and bear the fruit of kindness.

Pastor Rick Beaudry preaches from Ephesians 4:17–24, using the image of new clothes to urge us to put off the old man and its garments of depravity, darkness, death, and degeneracy. He contrasts worldly emptiness, secular philosophies and church compromise with the life-changing power of Christ, calling us into a real relationship, repentance, renewal of mind, and recreation as a new creation clothed in righteousness and true holiness. Mixing candid anecdotes and cultural observations, he warns against conforming to the world, false teaching, and sexual immorality while encouraging vigilance, discernment, and spiritual growth. The sermon closes with an appeal to accept Christ’s robe of righteousness, be transformed by the Spirit, and stand uncompromisingly for truth while ministering love and repentance to others.

Pastor Rick Beaudry continues the "Filled Up" series with an in-depth study of Ephesians 4:11-16, explaining how Christ gifts us with apostles, prophets, evangelists, and pastor-teachers to equip us for the work of ministry. We are called to move from looking up for our gifts to actively building up one another, growing into mature believers who speak truth in love rather than remaining as children tossed by every wind of doctrine. As each of us functions properly within the body, supplying our unique measure through love, we grow up into Christ and experience the fullness He intends for His church.

Pastor Rick Beaudry unpacks Ephesians 4:7–10 (Part One of his “Filled Up” series), urging us to be filled with the Holy Spirit and to exercise the unique gifts God has given each of us so the body of Christ can grow into the fullness of Christ. He explains the variety of spiritual gifts, the stewardship responsibility illustrated by the talents, and the call to “look up, ask, seek, knock” as we discover and reinvest what we’ve been given. He warns against false teachings, social-media spiritual abuse, and the need to be Bereans who compare Scripture with Scripture, contrasting being Spirit-filled with being influenced by the world. Drawing on Christ’s descent, victory, and ascension, he calls us to bold, faithful gospel witness so the church might be edified and filled up in love.

Pastor Rick Beaudry reads Ephesians 4:1-6 and urges us to walk worthy of our calling, stressing lowliness, meekness, long-suffering, love, and the unity of the Spirit. He contrasts faithful waiting and sacrificial worship with worldly conformity, warns against false prophets and narcissistic leaders, and insists Jesus must remain central to our lives and church. Personal anecdotes and pastoral prayers illustrate repentance, gratitude expressed through worshipful giving and baptism, and perseverance amid suffering. The teaching presses us to be transformed by the renewing of our minds, take every thought captive to Christ, and live with the blessed hope of His imminent return.

Pastor Rick Beaudry expounds Ephesians 3:14–21, presenting Paul’s prayer as a plea for the Holy Spirit’s dunamis (power to love) so that belief moves from head knowledge into agape that builds and edifies. He walks through Paul’s posture (kneeling), petition (strength, stability, comprehension, and saturation of Christ’s love), and praise, illustrating humility and dependence on God with biblical examples like Hezekiah, Naaman, and the Samaritan woman. Warning against cultural and political division and empty, worldly methods, he urges the church to be rooted and grounded in love so we stand out, forgive enemies, care for the lost, and let Christ live through us. Beaudry closes by pressing us to receive the overflowing fullness of God: asking for hearts empowered to love and inviting those who don’t know Christ to open their hearts to Him.

Pastor Rick Beaudry reads and expounds Ephesians 3:1–13, unpacking Paul’s identity as the “prisoner of Jesus Christ” and the dispensation of God’s grace. He defines grace as God’s unmerited favor, explains the revealed mystery that Gentiles and Jews are now fellow heirs in one body, and recounts Paul’s calling to preach the unsearchable riches of Christ. Beaudry stresses perspective amid suffering - persecution can advance the gospel and God’s strength is perfected in weakness - and warns against despising the spirit of grace. The message closes with an appeal that we embrace God’s grace, deepen our commitment to Scripture and discipleship, and rejoice in the church’s unity as the manifold wisdom of God is made known to us.

Pastor Rick Beaudry unpacks Ephesians 2:11–22, contrasting the Gentiles’ former state, with the new reality “in Christ” where the blood of Jesus breaks down the dividing wall between Jew and Gentile. He emphasizes the church as one new man, built on the apostles and prophets with Jesus as the cornerstone, giving both Jews and Gentiles access to God by one Spirit and assurance of salvation. The message ties doctrinal truths about justification, resurrection, and eternal security to practical exhortations: love one another, resist division over peripheral issues, and boldly approach the throne of grace. Beaudry also warns of cultural decay and end-times signs while calling us to humility, unity, and to invite others into Christ.

Pastor Rick Beaudry expounds Ephesians 2:7–10, unpacking grace, salvation as a gift received by faith, and the believer as God’s poiēma; His workmanship created in Christ Jesus for good works ordained beforehand. He contrasts our sinful past with the present blessing and future restoration, describes sanctification as the potter’s shaping through Scripture, prayer and suffering, and warns that works are the fruit of salvation, not the means to earn it. Beaudry calls us to rest in Christ’s finished work, yield to the transforming work of the Spirit, and shine as light to expose darkness so God’s exceeding riches of grace are revealed.

Pastor Rick Beaudry preaches from Ephesians 2:1,6, unpacking humanity’s condition apart from Christ as dead, disobedient, depraved, and doomed. He contrasts that hopeless state with God’s mercy: the Spirit’s quickening, our raising and seating with Christ, and urges us to repentance, holy living, and dependence on the Holy Spirit rather than the world’s wisdom. Drawing on Genesis, Romans, John, Acts, the Psalms and prophetic scripture, he warns against compromise, underscores the reality of judgment and hell, and affirms salvation by grace through faith. The sermon closes with a pastoral invitation to receive Christ and an exhortation to live in grateful, Spirit-filled obedience.

Pastor Rick Beaudry reads Ephesians 1:15–23 and urges the church to pursue the pleroma: the fullness and maturity that are ours in Christ rather than remaining spiritual babes. He prays for the Spirit of wisdom and revelation so we might know Christ personally, understand his plan and inheritance for us, experience resurrection power, and recognize Christ’s preeminence over all powers. He warns against superficial, marketing-driven church trends, calls us to steady Scripture-based discipleship and holiness, and emphasizes the blessed hope of Christ’s return along with the fellowship of his sufferings. The message closes with a heartfelt invitation to respond, pray, and deepen our relationship with Jesus.

Pastor Rick Beaudry preaches on Ephesians 1:13–14 as part three of “Plutocrats,” framing the triune work of salvation: predestined by the Father, purchased by the Son, and preserved by the Holy Spirit. He teaches the Holy Spirit as the promised Comforter who convicts, indwells, and seals believers, highlighting the seal’s security, authenticity, ownership, and authority, and as the earnest down payment guaranteeing our inheritance and the Lord’s return. Beaudry warns against worldly false hopes, technocratic counterfeits, and apostate teaching, urging the church to humble vigilance, prophetic understanding, and faithful witness. He closes by calling us to rest in Christ’s finished work, embrace the Holy Spirit’s seal as our engagement ring with Jesus, and respond to the gospel if we have not yet received that assurance.

Pastor Rick Beaudry examines Revelation 12:1,17 and reframes Christmas as a cosmic wonder, connecting the woman clothed with the sun to Israel, the virgin womb to Mary and the birth of the man‑child Jesus, and the great red dragon to Satan’s ongoing rebellion. Tracing the story from Abraham, Jacob, Joseph and Exodus through the Davidic promises, he shows how the birth of Christ fits into a vast heavenly drama that includes war in heaven, the dragon’s fall, and future persecution of Israel. Beaudry stresses that Jesus, the man‑child, reigns as Savior and King, that we overcome by the blood of the Lamb and the word of our testimony, and that our true citizenship is in heaven as we await His return. He calls us to embrace the gospel, hold fast to truth amid deception, and celebrate Christmas with eternal perspective.

Pastor Rick Beaudry continues the Plutocrats series, unpacking Ephesians 1:7,12 and portraying the Trinity’s work — predestining by the Father, redemption purchased by the Son, and preservation by the Holy Spirit. He emphasizes redemption through Christ’s blood as release from bondage, the forgiveness of sins, and the gift of wisdom, understanding, and knowledge of God’s will. Beaudry warns against worldly deception: materialism, false prophets, and emerging technologies like AI, and urges prudence, readiness for the coming tribulation, and deeper spiritual maturity. The message calls us to live as spiritual plutocrats, valuing the riches of peace and fellowship with Christ and responding to the gospel.

Pastor Rick Beaudry unpacks Ephesians 1:3–14 as part one of a three‑part "Plutocrats" series, tracing Paul’s greeting and the theme of "our riches in Christ" and explaining that verses 3–6 focus on the Father's predestination, with the Son’s purchase and the Spirit’s preservation to follow. He argues Christians are spiritually wealthy: chosen, adopted, and accepted in the beloved, urging us to live as "plutocrats" in Christ rather than as paupers, and warning against false prosperity teaching and religious systems that keep people ignorant of their inheritance. The sermon balances God’s sovereign election with human responsibility, uses pastoral anecdotes (prodigal children, personal testimony) to illustrate repentance and restoration, and presses us to come boldly to the throne of grace. The message closes with an invitation to embrace the spiritual blessings Christ purchased and to trust God’s ordained plan for salvation and sanctification.

Pastor Rick Beaudry preaches through Galatians 6:11-18, contrasting Paul’s refusal to boast in worldly success with his pride in the scars of Christ and the authenticity those “marks” give his ministry. He warns against false prophets, Judaizing legalism, and cultural conformity, arguing that circumcision and external signs mean nothing compared to being a new creature, and urges discernment amid pressures from the pandemic response, ecumenical movements, and emerging technocratic influences. Emphasizing that true discipleship often brings persecution, Beaudry explains how Christians survive by dying to self, relying on Christ’s resurrection power, and allowing suffering to deepen faith. He challenges us to bear the stigmata of faithful witness, stand uncompromisingly for the gospel, and pray for boldness to proclaim Christ.

Pastor Rick Beaudry preaches from Galatians 6:6,10 about the harvest of our lives: whatever we sow, flesh or spirit, we will reap. He frames four essentials for a fruitful harvest: sow the Word, sow with wisdom, sow and wait, and sow to win, urging us toward biblical literacy, steadfast pastoral teaching, and avoiding a watered‑down social gospel. Warning of cultural threats like compromised churches and new technologies, he calls families and pastors to invest in Scripture, persevere patiently, and take every thought captive to Christ. The message closes with a sober encouragement to keep sowing the gospel, trust God’s timing, and respond to the call of salvation.

Pastor Rick Beaudry expounds Galatians 5:26–6:5, calling us to be Christ’s “paramedics” who restore the fallen with meekness, bear one another’s burdens, and resist pride and vainglory. He contrasts merciful, Spirit-led care with judgmental policing, shows that help must point people to Jesus for repentance and rest, and reminds us that some burdens are personal callings each must carry. Using examples like Peter, David, the Good Samaritan, and Simon of Cyrene, he underscores God’s grace in suffering and urges the church to be a life-saving hospital rather than a social club.

Pastor Rick Beaudry reads Galatians 5:19–25 and uses Jesus’ image of trees to show how we are known by the fruit our lives bear. He contrasts the tree of loss (the works of the flesh such as adultery, fornication, idolatry, drunkenness) with the tree of love (the singular fruit of the Spirit: love, joy, peace, patience, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, self‑control) and warns that habitual practice of fleshly sin reveals a heart not transformed. Pointing to the tree of Calvary as the means to crucify the flesh, he calls us to abide in the Spirit, repent, cultivate Scripture meditation, and live out visible, persistent change. Practical application presses us to guard our minds from deception, resist cultural compromises, and choose to serve the Lord so our lives bear genuine, lasting fruit.

Pastor Rick Beaudry exhorts us from Galatians 5:16–18 to embrace God's recovery program: a continuous, commanded walk in the Holy Spirit that overcomes the lusts of the flesh. He contrasts worldly recovery efforts that only treat symptoms with the Spirit’s work that crucifies the flesh, brings conviction, and produces lasting transformation, illustrating with Joseph, David, family stories, and personal prayer for prodigals. Beaudry warns against sensual, man‑centered counterfeits and technological or psychological substitutes, reminding us that victory depends on who controls our lives: flesh or Spirit. He closes with a message of hope from Jeremiah and Romans: keep surrendering, yield to the Holy Spirit, and trust God to complete the work he began.

Pastor Rick Beaudry preaches from Galatians 5:13–15, asserting that being "called unto liberty" means freedom from sin, guilt, death, and enslaving desires; not a license for the flesh. He presents Christian freedom as an opportunity, obligation, and obedience of love: to serve one another humbly (following Christ’s example), prioritize Scripture, and fulfill the law by loving our neighbor as ourselves. Warning against legalism, addiction, and the temptation to “bite and devour one another,” he urges reliance on the Holy Spirit, confession, and perseverance in community. He calls us to practical acts of love and evangelism that set captives free and resist the cultural deceptions of the age.

Pastor Rick Beaudry reads Galatians 5:2-12, confronting the Judaizers and legalism while arguing that Christianity is faith working through love. He lays out four consequences of unbelief: falling from grace, forfeiting righteousness, failing to obey the truth, and forgetting the cross. Beaudry reminds us salvation is by grace through faith, not by law or performance. Drawing on Abraham, the Good Samaritan, the Syrophoenician woman and contemporary illustrations, he urges us to walk by the Spirit, mortify the flesh and guard the church against leavening heresy. The sermon closes with a call to repentance, to remember the cross at communion, and to let God transform us so love, not legalism, shapes how we live and witness.

Pastor Rick Beaudry reads Galatians 4:21–5:1 and unpacks the allegory of Hagar and Sarah as two covenants, one of bondage under the law and one of promise by the Spirit, urging us to “stand fast” in the liberty Christ purchased. He contrasts legalism and antinomianism, explains historical and typological background (Abraham, Isaac, typology), and warns how religious rule‑keeping or licentious grace both miss the life of love the Spirit produces. He applies the passage to contemporary threats: religious coercion, governmental controls and surveillance technologies he identifies as precursors to a coming system, and calls us to resist returning to the yoke of bondage. The message closes with a plea to repent, remain led by the Spirit, and live boldly in the freedom Christ gives.

Pastor Rick Beaudry preaches from Galatians 4:12,20 and urges us to heed Paul’s threefold appeal: remember the gospel, discern the motives of legalists, and pursue maturity so that Christ be formed in us. He contrasts sterile legalism with the sufficiency of Christ and the life-giving work of the Spirit, warns about persuasive false teachers and cultural compromises that seduce the flock, and presses for daily Bible saturation and pastoral care to develop discernment. Through pastoral illustrations and urgent appeals to die to self, love sacrificially, and bear measurable spiritual fruit, he calls us to genuine inward transformation from glory to glory, rather than mere outward conformity.

Pastor Rick Beaudry expounds Galatians 4:1–11, urging believers to embrace the privilege of sonship and warning against regressing to legalism and the “weak and beggarly elements” of the law. He outlines three truths—God reserved an appointed day for heirs, Christ’s redemptive work brings adoption, and our responsibility is to abide in intimate fellowship with the Father—illustrating each with Scripture, biblical types, and personal anecdotes. Beaudry confronts contemporary dangers like prosperity teaching, ritualistic regression, and cultural compromise, calling us to reckon the old self dead and press into spiritual maturity. The message blends urgent pastoral exhortation, prayer, and vivid storytelling to motivate us to live as joint heirs with Christ.

Pastor Rick Beaudry reads Galatians 3:23–29 and unpacks what it means to be “in Christ,” contrasting the law’s role as a schoolmaster that kept people under bondage with the freedom faith brings. He highlights the first of three blessings—freedom—using biblical images (Noah’s ark, Joseph, Paul’s conversion), personal testimony, and pastoral warnings about cultural drift to show that true transformation produces the fruit of the Spirit, especially love and sanctification. Urging us to cultivate devotion, repentance, and watchfulness for Christ’s return, he calls for a gospel-centered life shaped by grace rather than mere external compliance.

Pastor Rick Beaudry expounds Galatians 3:15–22, showing that the promises to Abraham - sealed to one “seed” (Christ) - are superior to the law by principle, person, precedent, and prophecy. He contrasts promise and law: the law condemns, was temporary and mediated by angels, while the promise is immutable, personal in Christ, and secures salvation by grace through faith. Beaudry urges us to embrace justification and progressive sanctification by the Spirit, to wait on God’s timing as Abraham did, and to refuse the law as a tool of condemnation. He highlights Christ as the promised Seed and sole Mediator who grants direct access to God and guarantees God’s faithfulness to fulfill His promises.

Pastor Rick Beaudry expounds Galatians 3:6–14, using Abraham as the exemplar of justification by faith to show that believers are blessed with righteousness, rest, and redemption rather than by keeping the law. He warns against Judaizing legalism, explains that the law pronounces a curse Christ bore so Gentiles might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith, and contrasts living by works with living by faith. Through biblical illustrations and personal pastoral anecdotes he urges us to rely on the Holy Spirit for peace, perseverance, and transformation. He concludes with a clear call to receive Christ, be counted among Abraham’s spiritual children, and walk in the assurance of forgiveness and the Spirit’s power.

Guest speaker Wayne Dekorte illuminates the profound biblical concept of believers as the "Bride of Christ," drawing from Revelation 22:17. He reminds us of our cherished identity, exploring passages from Song of Solomon that describe God's tender affection for us. The message challenges us to reflect on whether our love for God has grown cold amidst life's challenges, urging us to return to our "first love" and embrace our roles within the body of Christ with sacrificial love and service. Dekorte contrasts the church's identity with the warnings given to "unfaithful Israel" in Ezekiel, emphasizing the purity and unwavering commitment expected of Christ's bride. Ultimately, listeners are called to live with urgency and purpose, continually remembering their blessed invitation to the marriage supper of the Lamb.

Pastor Rick Beaudry teaches on Galatians 3:1-5, highlighting Paul's concern that the Galatians have been "bewitched" and are veering from the truth of the Gospel. He emphasizes that justification and sanctification are free gifts from God, received by faith, not by works of the law. Beaudry explains how the Galatians denied clear evidence, their personal spiritual experiences, and God's abundant power available through the Holy Spirit. He urges us to avoid worldly deceptions and instead rely on the Holy Spirit for transformation and strength, maintaining a vibrant, God-centered faith.

Join Pastor Rick Beaudry as he delves into Galatians 2:11-21, exposing "Frustrated Grace" and the perils of legalism. He illustrates how attempts to blend law and grace lead to inconsistent behavior, independent beliefs, and insufficient benefits. We are reminded that justification comes solely through faith in Jesus Christ, not by works of the law, encouraging us to embrace the freedom and complete forgiveness offered by God's grace. The message emphasizes identifying with Christ's death to the law, allowing Him to live through us, and resisting the urge to rebuild what was torn down, ultimately receiving God's blessings without earning them.

Pastor Rick Beaudry explores Galatians 2:1-10, emphasizing Paul's defense of the singular gospel of salvation by grace through faith alone, contrasting it with the Judaizers' attempts to mix law with grace. He highlights Paul's private visitation to Jerusalem's leadership and the public verification of his gospel, evidenced by Titus, an uncircumcised Gentile, standing as a "trophy of God's grace." The message underscores the importance of guarding the truth of the gospel against false teachings and legalism, ensuring Christian liberty and a life motivated by love, not law. This sermon serves as a powerful reminder for us to cling to biblical truth, contend earnestly for the faith, and live out our salvation in freedom and love.

Pastor Rick Beaudry explores Galatians 1:6-9, focusing on the severe warning against "another gospel." He highlights three dangers: desertion from Christ's grace, deception through perverted truths and legalism, and ultimately, damnation for those who preach or follow a distorted message. The message emphasizes salvation by grace through faith alone, contrasting it with attempts to earn righteousness through works or mix law with grace, and warns us against embracing false doctrines that lead to spiritual bondage and condemnation.

Pastor Rick Beaudry explores Paul's defense of his apostolic authority, emphasizing that his ministry and message originated directly from God, not from human appointment or teachings. He highlights the dangers of compromising the gospel, as seen with the Judaizers in Galatia, who sought to add legalistic requirements to salvation by grace. Pastor Rick stresses that true Christian service involves embracing suffering for Christ's namesake and faithfully proclaiming the pure gospel, regardless of opposition. He calls us to recognize our divine ordination to share the good news, to rely on God's strength in our weaknesses, and to eagerly anticipate Jesus's return to deliver us from this present evil world. Ultimately, our "right of passage" into eternal life and service comes solely through Christ's sacrifice, freely offered by God's grace and mercy.

Pastor Rick Beaudry explores the critical need for spiritual preparedness in uncertain times, drawing from 2 Corinthians 13:1,14. He challenges us to examine our faith, discerning between genuine belief and mere outward profession, urging us to be "doers of the word, not hearers only." The message emphasizes the importance of spiritual maturity, relying on the Holy Spirit's power for transformation rather than human strength or worldly allegiances. It also highlights the significance of biblical discernment, urging us to recognize false teachings and personal attacks, while remaining steadfast in the truth of God's Word. Ultimately, Pastor Beaudry encourages us to embrace genuine love and unity within the church, equipped by the Holy Spirit for the journey ahead.

Pastor Rick Beaudry explores 2 Corinthians 12:11-21, highlighting the theme of being unappreciated. He draws parallels between the Apostle Paul's ministry and Jesus's life, emphasizing their unthanked sacrifices for others' spiritual edification. The message calls us to appreciate God's blessings and truth, warning against the pitfalls of worldly allurements and false doctrines. It underscores the importance of seeking God's approval over human validation and staying faithful in teaching His word, even when unappreciated.

Pastor Rick Beaudry explores 2 Corinthians 12:1-10, highlighting that true strength and success come from an awareness of God's greatness, acceptance of His gifts (even challenging ones), and the appropriation of His all-sufficient grace. He emphasizes that God's strength is made perfect in our weakness, encouraging us to embrace humility and rely fully on Christ. The message reminds us that even through trials and pain, God's grace empowers us to thrive and experience His miraculous power, much like Paul's journey of faith. 

Join Pastor Rick Beaudry as he explores 2 Corinthians 11:16-33, challenging us to discern genuine faith from fraud, particularly in the face of suffering. The message highlights how true prophets and Christians embrace hardship as a badge of honor, contrasting this with those who compromise or quit when trials arise. Drawing parallels from biblical figures like Paul and Job, and historical examples, we are encouraged to demonstrate compassion, commitment, and compliance to God's will, even when it leads to ridicule or persecution. Ultimately, the sermon asks us to examine what our own suffering reveals about the authenticity of our faith and our willingness to follow Jesus.

Pastor Rick Beaudry explores the theme of seduction, drawing from 2 Corinthians 11:3, where Paul expresses fear that believers' minds might be corrupted from the simplicity in Christ, just as Eve was beguiled by the serpent. He warns us against false apostles and deceitful workers who preach a different Jesus, a different spirit, or a different gospel, emphasizing that even Satan can transform into an angel of light. The sermon calls for discernment and a deep understanding of God's Word to avoid being misled by misinformation, manipulation, or false manifestations, especially in an age rife with deception. Ultimately, we are encouraged to remain steadfast in the truth, guided by the Holy Spirit, and to earnestly contend for the faith.
