Episode III - The Fruit of the Spirit is a three-week sermon series from Galatians 5:2223 that explores how the Holy Spirit transforms believers from the inside out. Rather than something we strive to produce on our own, spiritual fruit grows naturally as we remain connected to Jesus. The series begins by focusing on the inward work of the Spirit through love, joy, and peacerevealing how God shapes our hearts beyond circumstances. It then moves into the outward expression of that transformation in our relationships through patience, kindness, and goodness. Finally, it explores the marks of a S

Episode III - What God Seesis a three-week vision series that invites us to see our lives, our church, and our city through the eyes of Jesus, grounded in the truth that when we see what God sees, we dont just think differentlywe live differently. This series reframes how we view our own lives, reminding us that we are not behind or overlooked, but being intentionally formed by a God who is still at work.

Scripture teaches mothers to point children toward Christ by praying for them, modeling faith and character, and training them in wisdom. (Prov. 1:8, 29:15) One way of doing this is regular attendance at church where our children and youth leaders partner with parents in the discipleship of the younger generation. So bring the whole family for worship and community onsite or online at Calvary this Sunday as we celebrate Mother's Day!

Episode VIII - Youre a piece of work! But in the very best way. We are all a work in progress and Paul encourages us that we were created in Christ Jesus, His masterpiece in the making. In order to make it all work - He must be at work within us everyday. The big idea of this study of Ephesians is that The Gospel should affect the way we live our lives personally, in our communities, and with our families. Ephesians is about understanding our identity in Christ and how that identity shapes the way we live. File Downloads: https://dq5pwpg1q8ru0.cloudfront.net/2026/03/18/18/40/02/2b52a3b3-36fe-4
