- Religie en spiritualiteit
When people ask who Calvary Church is, we respond that we are and desire to be Christ's church in this place. The church is different than any other institution on earth. How? The church is the only institution that Christ Himself promised to build (Matthew 16:18). So the church is the mission of Christ, which means that He is doing somethng in us communally. Christ not only saves individual believers, but is forming a people for His own possession (1 Peter 2:9).

Matthew | Extravagant Worship
In this sermon, we read Matthew 26:6-13 about Mary of Bethany's extravagant act of worship. We learn more about the source of Mary's worship, how the disciples responded to witnessing her extravagant act, and about how Jesus affirmed Mary in her worship of him.

Matthew | Don't be a GOAT
This message comes from Matthew 25:31-46, Jesus’ teaching of the sheep and the goats. Framed with a more positive view of judgement we are drawn deeper in love and knowledge of Jesus through this teaching. Pastor Tom draws upon the image of a courtroom where we see a judge, defendants, evidence, verdict and sentence, to help us better understand our position in this scripture.

Opportunity and Action
In this message, we read and considered Matthew 25:14-30, which is the Parable of the Bags of Gold. We are reminded that God provides us as followers of Jesus with unique abilities and opportunities. We learned that God expects us to use them to serve His kingdom in this world.

Be Ready
In this message we are called to think deeply about what it means to be ready for the second coming of Christ. This is a posture that can be somewhat complicated and scary to consider. However, it doesn’t have to be. Thankfully, Jesus doesn’t leave us to fend for ourselves in this matter, and through this text you’ll see that Jesus is for us and will help prepare us.

God’s Plan for Israel and His Love for Wayward Children
With this message, we are still in Matthew, but taking a detour through Romans 11. We want to better understand what Jesus is saying will happen in the end. And we want to feel God’s heart for the lost people of Israel; to be encouraged that he has chosen to be faithful to them and to those we love even in the midst of their unfaithfulness to him.
