Pastors Page
We realize life is too short to waste time and effort just going through the motions of religion and tradition, so we have streamlined why and how we do Church. We are all busy, wrestling with the issues of our day and endeavoring to see how God can intersect our lives. At Calvary, we Love God & Love People, we are focused on Building People by creating environments where we are encouraged & equipped to pursue a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. We would love the opportunity to walk with you along your Spiritual Journey and discover what God has for your life.
Join us this week.

Doing God's work God's way |
|
"'Good works...God prepared in advance for us.'" |
|
Any time you ask, 'What on earth am I here for?' the Bible answers 'to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.' God created you for a prearranged mission. You're a conscript, not a volunteer. You don't get to decide your calling. And it's a mistake to try and duplicate somebody else's calling.
Remember Moses? God calls him to deliver Israel from Egypt but he tries doing it his own way. Killing an enemy to save an ally's life, he winds up a forty year fugitive. After living in the wilderness and learning his lesson he returns to do God's will - God's way. All of us, not just ordained ministers, are called to do God's work God's way.
'But how do I know what my calling is?' you ask. 2) Submit to Godly leadership. Your pastor can help equip and guide you. God 'gave...pastors...to prepare God's people for works of service' (Ephesians 4:11-12 NIV). We all need help; we can't get there by ourselves. 3) Commit your abilities and resources to building up your local church. God designed our gifts and callings 'so that the body of Christ may be built up' (Ephesians 4:12 NIV). 4) Develop a servant spirit. 'Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others' (1 Peter 4:10 NIV). Don't know your gifts? Start serving, and God will reveal them to you. |
