Ep 323Three Relationships, Week 6: Discipleship: Seeds & Soils // Charles Zimmerman

One of the last things Jesus gave his disciples was “The Great Commission.” His command is simple, make disciples. Our first priority during our time on earth is to do just that, make disciples. We believe disciple-making happens in the context of three relationships: our relationship with God, with the Church, and with the World. Each week of this series, we’ll discover a new topic. From learning the cost of discipleship to developing a missional lifestyle, approaching each piece through the lens of those three relationships. Together, we’ll grow our relationships with God and his church, and be prepared to follow his command to share his love with the world. Thanks for listening!

Ep 316Simply Christmas // Charles Zimmerman

Thanks for listening! Want to know more about Calvary? Visit calvary-church.com to get connected. We’re praying that this service impacts you in a meaningful way. With all of the business and stress surrounding the holiday season, the real message of Christmas can often be lost. Sometimes we need a break from the noise, a time to refocus on the real world-changing events that took place on that first Christmas night all those years ago. Join us today for Simply Christmas. A stripped down service that walks us through the reason for the season, shining the light of God's great love and letting the rest fade into the background. We'll read through the Bible, sing to celebrate the birth of our savior, and take communion. It's simply Christmas and nothing more. Live on Sunday, December 18, 2022.

Ep 314Ruth, Week 4: The Rest of the Story // Charles Zimmerman

Thanks for listening! Want to know more about Calvary? Visit calvary-church.com to get connected. This is the story of a young woman who made a radical commitment to God and journeyed to Bethlehem where she gave birth to a child that would change the world. Sound familiar? If you’re thinking Christmas, then you’re closer than you realize, but not quite there. The story of Christmas has deep roots. In fact, it begins in the Old Testament. Today we’re taking a look at a similar story where we find one of those roots, the book of Ruth. Living as a Moabite in enemy lands, how did Ruth find faith in the God of Israel, and what brought her to the town of Bethlehem? Together, we’ll find how Ruth points to God’s amazing plan to save, redeem, reconcile, and transform the world through Jesus, and how the book prepares us to reflect on and celebrate the Christmas story. We appreciate you taking the time to listen and we’re praying that this message impacts you in a meaningful way! Live on Sunday, December 4, 2022.

Ep 301Ekklesia, Week 8: Community of Conversion // Charles Zimmerman

Thanks for listening! Want to know more about Calvary? Visit calvary-church.com to get connected. Do you know what ekklesia means? The English word “church” has a number of meanings, most of which are religious. But the Greek word ekklesia – the Bible word translated for “church” – is different. Non-Christians in the first century wouldn’t have thought of it as a religious word. To them it simply meant “a gathering” or “an assembly.” In the New Testament, church is often used for something new and specifically Christian. The writers of the New Testament chose ekklesia to describe this new thing because its everyday meaning—assembly, gathering—was a good fit for their purposes. The mission of the church is to point people to Jesus – what he said and did, and what he promises to do. As we often say, we are simply to continue what Jesus started. Right up front, we have to remember that it’s Jesus who makes it possible for his followers to live out his mission as they follow him and are energized by his Spirit. Establishing, building, and developing the church is high on Jesus’ priority list. In fact, we could say that the church is what Jesus started! Therefore, if we are to Continue What Jesus Started, we must be about church as well. How can ekklesia shape our definition and view of what it means to be about church in 2022? What mission, values, and practices do we pull from this new understanding? How will this change our community or our relationship with God? Let’s tackle these questions and concepts together as we dive into our brand new series, Ekklesia: The Ancient Future Church. Live on Sunday, September 4, 2022.

Ep 294Ekklesia, Week 1: Front Row Seats // Josh Crum

Thanks for listening! Want to know more about Calvary? Visit calvary-church.com to get connected. Do you know what ekklesia means? The English word “church” has a number of meanings, most of which are religious. But the Greek word ekklesia – the Bible word translated for “church” – is different. Non-Christians in the first century wouldn’t have thought of it as a religious word. To them it simply meant “a gathering” or “an assembly.” In the New Testament, church is often used for something new and specifically Christian. The writers of the New Testament chose ekklesia to describe this new thing because its everyday meaning—assembly, gathering—was a good fit for their purposes. The mission of the church is to point people to Jesus – what he said and did, and what he promises to do. As we often say, we are simply to continue what Jesus started. Right up front, we have to remember that it’s Jesus who makes it possible for his followers to live out his mission as they follow him and are energized by his Spirit. Establishing, building, and developing the church is high on Jesus’ priority list. In fact, we could say that the church is what Jesus started! Therefore, if we are to Continue What Jesus Started, we must be about church as well. How can ekklesia shape our definition and view of what it means to be about church in 2022? What mission, values, and practices do we pull from this new understanding? How will this change our community or our relationship with God? Let’s tackle these questions and concepts together as we dive into our brand new series, Ekklesia: The Ancient Future Church. Live on Sunday, July 17, 2022.
