Calvary Church - Maumee

Your word is your bond…unless it’s inconvenient. You are a “man of your word” most of the time... But words matter to God. What you say and what you do reveals who you are inside. And Jesus has called us to be people of integrity ALL of the time even when no one is watching. On Sunday, November 27, 2022, Pastor Chad Gilligan flips the script with this week’s lesson about integrity.

While people may tout that marriage is the foundation of the family, far too often, they take it for granted instead. Many marriages are neglected, mistreated, and misunderstood.

Your BFFs, your bro's, your buddies, your gal pals... Relationships define who you are.

On Sunday, November 13, 2022, Pastor Keith Kurtz challenges us to evaluate "Who's sitting at Your Table?"

Life is a little different in the Kingdom of God than the world's kingdom. In God's kingdom, we are expected to live our life from the inside out. And that starts by first examining what's in our hearts. On Sunday, November 6, 2022, Pastor Chad Gilligan gives us Jesus' Guide to Anger Management.

When life gets difficult... sometimes we need encouragement. Sometimes we need to be reminded of God's promises.

No one wants to be ostracized, bullied, or abused. No one wants to feel like they are all alone in their beliefs.

After so many years on Earth, you got things figured out. There are certain rules we all live by. Certain societal guidelines we have to follow. But Jesus has come to say, things aren’t what they seem. If you want blessings in your life, you will have to follow Heavenly guidelines not earthly ones. It’s time to Flip the Script. On Sunday, October 2, 2022, Pastor Chad Gilligan begins his new sermon series and preaches from Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount.

The call is simple. It’s remained the same for almost 2,000 years. And it’s for everyone. Today, Jesus is calling you to “Follow Me.” But will you choose to obey? On Sunday, September 25, 2022, Pastor Chad concludes his Follow Me sermon series and wraps up Missions Week with a powerful sermon about God's calling for your life.

There is no bi-citizenship when it comes to our spiritual lives. We all must make a choice. Will we choose to be citizens of the kingdom of God? Children and followers of the Most High? Or citizens to the world? And remain slaves to our sin and selfish desires? On Sunday, September 11, 2022, Pastor Chad Gilligan challenges us to examine our hearts and decide today which kingdom you will choose.

Asking the right question can change the trajectory of your life. It can drive you to action or force you to question your motives. It could define your faith; or it could define you. On Sunday, September 4, 2022, Pastor Matthew Ford, challenges us with one simple question: Why are You Here?

Every person faces temptation. Our weakness and desires may be different, but that urge to comply remains the same. And sometimes what feels good or what’s convenient seems more enticing than doing what’s right. On Sunday, August 28, 2022, Pastor Chad Gilligan takes a look at the Temptation of Jesus in the Wilderness and shows us what we can do when facing temptation.

Too often, Christians consider Jesus’ baptism a brief footnote in His story. But when we overlook His baptism, we overlook prophecy fulfilled. We overlook Jesus’ inherited power and divine authority. And we overlook His call to obedience, asking each of us to follow in His example.

Everyone thinks it. “At least, I’m not as bad as that guy.” But you don’t have to be the most reviled man in history to share hints of his character. You don’t have to kill a man to harbor hate in your heart or be a con artist to be manipulative. And you don’t have to a king to be controlling. On Sunday, July 31, 2022, Pastor Chad challenges us to examine our own hearts for hints of Herod.

We plan. We dream. We personally stamp God’s approval on it without giving much thought. Then, we are surprised when reality has falls short of our expectations. Things didn’t go according to plan.

Unfortunately, it’s often the bad times that our defines character instead of the good. Unexpected hardship, unplanned conflict, the uncertainty of the future…it’s how we respond to these surprises in life that reveal who we truly are inside. And your decisions today create a person of character for tomorrow’s surprises. On Sunday, July 17, 2022, Pastor Chad Gilligan begins a new sermon series, Christmas in July, and gives us 5 things to do when life surprises you.
