    When Darkness Looks Like Light — Ephesians 6 Living in the Light Pt 6

    Darkness is real, but it is not equal to God. In the final week of Living in the Light, Pastor Benny Ferguson opens Ephesians 6, John 1 and Luke 10 on the spiritual battle every believer is in, and the authority we have in Jesus. Darkness rarely looks dark. It sounds nice, even spiritual, while it pulls us away from Jesus and His word. So we test everything against Scripture, we keep the door shut, and we take authority: we submit to God, resist the devil, speak the name of Jesus and stand on the word of God. When the King shows up, the kingdom of darkness has to back up. Light wins. “When the King shows up, the kingdom of darkness has to back up.” IN THIS MESSAGE 00:00 Turn to Ephesians 6 00:11 Living in the Light so far 01:30 Light wins, but we still fight darkness 02:12 We do not wrestle against flesh and blood - Ephesians 6:12 02:49 People are not the enemy 03:27 The light shines in the darkness - John 1:5 04:23 1.

    The Best Is Yet to Come - Living in the Light Part 5 of 6 | 1 Corinthians 15 | Pastor Benny Ferguson

    Heaven is not the end of the story. In week 5 of Living in the Light, Pastor Benny Ferguson opens 1 Corinthians 15 and Revelation 21 on what happens after we die: the resurrection, new bodies, and a new heaven and a new earth. God made us for more than a disembodied existence. Like an acorn that becomes an oak, what is sown perishable will be raised imperishable, and Jesus, the firstfruits, is the preview. This current version of you is not the final version of you. Pain is real, but it is not permanent, and the best part of eternity is that we will be with Jesus forever. “Pain is real, but what we can be assured of is that pain is not permanent.” IN THIS MESSAGE00:00 Turn to 1 Corinthians 15 and Revelation 2100:08 Living in the Light so far01:09 Beyond the moment Jesus returns01:41 Not floating on a cloud02:23 What we believe about the future02:51 When loss puts heaven on our minds03:50 How are the dead raised? - 1 Corinthians 15:3504:33 1.

    The Blessed Hope - Living in the Light Part 4 of 6 | Titus 2:13 | Pastor Benny Ferguson

    Jesus is coming again, and that truth changes how we live today. In week 4 of Living in the Light, Pastor Benny Ferguson opens Titus 2:13, John 14, 1 Thessalonians 4 and Revelation 19 on the blessed hope: Jesus promised to return, Jesus will return, and Jesus could return today. When the world looks darker, it isn't falling apart; things are falling into place. The greatest promise isn't that we're going somewhere, but that we're going to be with someone. So we don't retreat from the dark. We keep shining the light in it, waiting not for the end but for Jesus. The message closes with the song Come Jesus Come and Pastor Benny's word after it. “The greatest promise isn't simply that we're going somewhere. The greatest promise is that we're going to be with someone.” IN THIS MESSAGE00:00 Open to Revelation 19, 1 Thessalonians 4 and Titus 200:16 Message guides01:28 Living in the light in a darker world01:39 A prayer to darkness in Iowa03:26 Light overcomes darkness - John 1:503:58 The blessed hope - Titus 2:1304:51 Scripture is about 30% prophecy05:38 Jesus, our soon-coming King06:24 What are you looking for?07:07 Our hope is that Jesus is coming08:00 The world isn't falling apart08:19 1.

    Come Out of Hiding | Hebrews 9:14 | Pastor Mike Badolato

    You can be serving, giving and checking every box while your heart hides from God. On a Wednesday night at Calvary, Pastor Mike Badolato continues the Fully Devoted theme from 2 Chronicles 16:9 with King Asa, who trusted God in one crisis and raided the temple in the next. Being fully devoted is not a list of things to do. It is a heart that is not divided, one with Christ. Fruit comes from the life inside the tree, intimacy is where that life comes from, and shame is what pulls us out of it. Sin broke God's command, but it was shame that broke the intimacy. Jesus says you are already clean because of the word He has spoken to you (John 15:3), and His blood cleanses our conscience so that we can draw near with a sincere heart (Hebrews 9:14; 10:22). Today is the day to come out of hiding. “You cannot be perfect in your actions, but still be perfect in oneness with Him.” IN THIS MESSAGE00:00 Do you love Jesus? (Psalm 27:4)00:31 Fully devoted: this year's theme (2 Chronicles 16)01:01 King Asa's story02:20 When the pressure turns up03:20 Picking up extra shifts04:03 One moment of compromise became a pattern04:36 The eyes of the Lord (2 Chronicles 16:9)05:19 Do not harden your hearts (1 John 1:9)06:01 A heart that is not divided07:02 Christianity is not about doing07:34 Known by their fruit (Matthew 7:16-18)08:33 A peach tree doesn't strive09:57 Fully devoted means intimate with God10:22 The greatest enemy of intimacy is shame10:36 If we could muster it up, we wouldn't need Jesus11:18 Remain in me (John 15:4-5)12:40 Genesis 3: they hid13:48 Sin broke the command, shame broke the intimacy14:21 What shame says14:53 Don't let your shortcomings keep you from Him15:36 You are already clean (John 15:3)16:18 The blood of Jesus cleanses our conscience (Hebrews 9:14)17:28 Come boldly to the throne of grace (Hebrews 4:15-16)17:56 Draw near with a sincere heart (Hebrews 10:22)18:38 Back to Asa19:39 You're here on a Wednesday night20:41 He is faithful and just to forgive21:19 Out of keep-up-appearances mode22:17 No condemnation (Romans 8:1) SCRIPTURE2 Chronicles 16:9 · Hebrews 9:14 · John 15:3-5 · Matthew 7:16-18 · Genesis 3:8-10 · 1 John 1:9 · Hebrews 4:15-16 · Hebrews 10:22 · Romans 8:1 Preached by Pastor Mike Badolato at Calvary Church's midweek service on October 7, 2026.

    Light in Perilous Times — 2 Timothy 3 · Living in the Light Pt 3

    Difficult times are coming, and Scripture told us so. In week 3 of Living in the Light, Pastor Benny Ferguson opens 2 Timothy 3:1-5 and Matthew 24:3-8 and three truths for living in the light in perilous times: darkness was predicted, discernment must increase, and hope must shine brighter. The purpose of biblical prophecy isn't to make us experts about the future but to make us faithful in the present. God didn't reveal these things to scare us. He revealed them to prepare us. So we don't deny the darkness and we don't fear it: we prepare for the day instead of predicting it, and we shine. “Not everything that sounds spiritual is spiritual. Not everything that is dressed up to look like truth actually is truth.” IN THIS MESSAGE00:00 Turn to 2 Timothy 3 and Matthew 2400:56 God is light, and you are light01:29 Living in the light in a darker world02:33 Where is all of this headed?03:30 More Scripture, not more speculation03:48 The purpose of biblical prophecy04:29 2 Timothy 3:1-5 - times of difficulty05:31 Paul's last letter06:13 Not to scare us, but to prepare us06:43 1.

    Children of the Light — Ephesians 5:8-10 · Living in the Light Pt 2

    You were darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. In week 2 of Living in the Light, Pastor Benny Ferguson opens Ephesians 5:8-10 and 1 Thessalonians 5:1-11 and three marks of a child of the light: remember who you are, reflect the family resemblance, and remain ready. Jesus doesn't simply change where we go when we die. He changes who we are while we live. And because of what He has done, we're already accepted: we don't behave to become, we behave because we have become. “The world doesn't need Christians who are louder. It needs Christians who are brighter.” IN THIS MESSAGE00:00 A fun fact about going to church00:46 Open your Bibles - Ephesians 5 and 1 Thessalonians 501:15 The series guide03:26 If God is light, how should we live?04:20 Ephesians 5:8 - you were darkness, now you are light05:20 Jesus changes who we are06:41 1.

    Passionate Obedience — 1 Samuel 15:22 · Calvary Midweek

    What are you passionate about? More to the point, what is God passionate about? On a Wednesday night at Calvary, Pastor Len Burdick opens 1 Samuel 15, where King Saul did most of what God asked, kept the best for himself, and called it worship. God's answer still stands: to obey is better than sacrifice. Four truths carry the message: God wants our obedience more than what we want to do for Him; He is looking for wholehearted obedience, not delayed, selective or partial; obedience is an expression of love; and obedience flows from relationship. “He loves our songs, but He looks for our surrender. He loves our praises, but He looks for our practices. He loves our words, but He looks for our willingness.” IN THIS MESSAGE00:00 Welcome — Pastor Len Burdick00:34 What are you passionate about?01:49 What God is passionate about (2 Chronicles 16:9)03:11 To obey is better than sacrifice (1 Samuel 15)04:19 1.
