    Our Unchanging God and His Unchanging Word

    When everything around us is shifting, we need something that never moves.In this timely and powerful message from Calvary, Pastor Tony Willis reminds us that while culture, technology, and public opinion are constantly evolving, God and His Word remain eternally the same. In a world full of competing voices and half-truths, believers must develop true spiritual discernment through the Holy Spirit.Rooted in scripture, this message exposes the danger of relying on intellect alone and highlights the critical difference between information and revelation. Pastor Tony teaches that discernment is not just knowledge. It is spiritual perception given by the Holy Spirit to protect the Church in the last days.You will be challenged to stay anchored in biblical truth, continually filled with the Spirit, and alert to counterfeit revivals and false anointings that can subtly lead believers astray. At the same time, this message calls us to walk in compassion without compromising truth.If you’ve been asking how to stand firm in confusing times, this word will strengthen your faith and sharpen your spiritual awareness. 00:00 Introduction02:03 Honoring the Pulpit and Opening Scripture04:07 God Never Changes (Malachi 3:6 & Hebrews 13:8)06:01 How Fast Culture and Technology Are Changing08:42 Discernment for the Last Days (Matthew 24:4)13:03 Information vs Revelation Explained15:44 The Bible as Unchanging God-Breathed Truth17:54 The Last Days Outpouring of the Holy Spirit19:27 Old Testament vs New Covenant Discernment20:07 The Holy Spirit for Every Believer Today21:18 Why Discernment Is Critical in the Last Days (1 Corinthians 2)23:12 When the World Lost Reverence for the Church26:58 False Teaching That Feels Right29:44 Scripture Twisted in Today’s Culture33:26 The Spirit Never Contradicts the Word35:41 How to Grow in Discernment Daily37:21 Counterfeit Revivals vs the Real Move of God39:28 Prophetic Declaration Over the ChurchDigital Connect Card: www.calvaryassembly.org/new Giving: https://calvarylive.churchcenter.com/giving Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/CalvaryLiveAL/ Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/CalvaryLive/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/calvary_live/ Need prayer? https://www.calvaryassembly.org/prayer Want to take your next step in faith?

    Connections Part 1

    Relationships shape everything. Our faith. Our families. Our future. In this opening message of the Connections series, we lay a biblical foundation for understanding why relationships are God’s idea and why their health matters more than we often realize.Pastor Sawyer teaches that every relationship in our lives flows from one primary connection: our relationship with Jesus Christ. Learn what it truly means to remain connected to Christ and how that connection determines the fruit we bear in marriage, friendships, and everyday life.It’s time to ask some honest questions: Who am I connected to? What am I connected to? And why? Through practical teaching and biblical truth, we learn how unhealthy connections lead to broken cycles, while godly connections bring healing, freedom, and purpose. Whether you are navigating marriage, friendships, or personal growth, this message provides clarity, wisdom, and a starting point for lasting transformation.If you are longing for healthier relationships, spiritual growth, and a stronger foundation for your life, this series begins here.00:00 Introduction to the Connections Series

    Guest Speaker Laura Allred

    What happens when believers unite in prayer and fasting with bold faith and unwavering obedience? In this compelling and prophetic message, Laura Allred shares a powerful 25-year journey of intercessory prayer, prophetic ministry, and spiritual warfare that reveals how God uses surrendered lives to shape cities, nations, and generations.From her early calling as a parabolic prophet and pro-life advocate to leading a national call to prayer, this message uncovers the spiritual authority released when God’s people refuse complacency and step fully into their divine assignment. You will hear how united prayer and fasting dismantles demonic strongholds, advances the Kingdom of God, and prepares the Church for the return of Jesus.This message also highlights the historic gathering of one million women in Washington, D.C., confronting ancient spiritual opposition and calling the nation back to righteousness. Rooted in Scripture and prophetic insight, this teaching challenges believers to rise with spiritual maturity, courage, and clarity of purpose.If you are hungry to understand spiritual warfare, prophetic intercession, fasting, and the power of corporate prayer, this message will stir your faith and call you higher.Digital Connect Card: www.calvaryassembly.org/new Giving: https://calvarylive.churchcenter.com/giving Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/CalvaryLiveAL/ Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/CalvaryLive/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/calvary_live/ Need prayer? https://www.calvaryassembly.org/prayer Want to take your next step in faith?

    Is God Ordaining My Steps?

    Is God Ordering My Steps? | How to Know If God Is Guiding Your Path Have you ever asked yourself, “Is God really guiding my life, or am I on my own right now?” You are not alone and this message leans straight into that question. In Is God Ordaining My Steps?, Pastor George Sawyer teaches on how to discern God’s guidance in seasons of uncertainty, delay, and difficulty. Rooted in Proverbs 3 and the powerful story of Joseph, this message unpacks how God directs our steps even when life feels confusing, unfair, or completely off course. Through Joseph’s journey, from betrayal and slavery to purpose and promotion, we see how God’s plan unfolds over time, often in ways we do not expect. This message also draws from the life of the Apostle Paul, reminding us that trust, contentment, and obedience position us to recognize God’s hand at work in every season. If you are searching for clarity, direction, or reassurance that God is still in control, this message will strengthen your faith and help you trust the process even when you cannot yet see the outcome. 00:00 Is God Ordering My Steps?

    What Comes Through

    What do you do when God calls you forward but fear stands in the way? In this powerful message, What Comes Through, Pastor George Sawyer walks us through Hebrews 11:29 and the Exodus story, revealing what it looks like to step into a fresh start through faith, obedience, and trust in God’s plan. Just as the Israelites faced the Red Sea, we all encounter moments where moving forward feels intimidating, uncertain, and costly. This message challenges believers to stop cycling through the past, recognize God’s divine assignment for their lives, and walk confidently into new seasons. You will discover how God provides in impossible moments, why faith requires movement, and how breakthrough often happens when we step forward before the path is fully clear. If you are seeking direction, courage, or a renewed sense of purpose, this message will encourage you to trust God in the middle of uncertainty and move forward in faith. 00:00 Introduction to What Comes Through00:17 Faith That Moves Mountains and the Red Sea Miracle00:38 A New Year and God’s Call to a Fresh Start01:16 The Exodus Story and the Journey of Faith03:27 Discovering God’s Assignment for Your Life07:09 Trusting God in Intimidating and Uncertain Moments11:47 Experiencing God’s Provision and Favor15:14 Letting Go of the Past to Move Forward17:46 How to Embrace a God-Given Fresh Start20:03 Making the Decision to Step Forward in Faith20:33 Crying Out to God for Freedom21:05 Overcoming Grumbling and Spiritual Frustration21:55 Remembering God’s Past Deliverance22:56 Breaking Cycles and Leaving the Past Behind24:16 Facing New Challenges with Confidence and Faith28:55 Trusting God’s Continued Faithfulness33:16 Final Call to Action and Prayer
