First,
I have a commitment and love for the expositional
teaching of God’s Word. I believe teaching verse by
verse is the best way to learn the whole counsel of
God’s Word, and to make its truth apply in our
everyday lives through the power of the Holy Spirit
as He educates, edifies and empowers each believer
to do His will.
Second,
our purpose as a church is to win souls for Christ.
Jesus said "Go therefore and make disciples of
all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the
Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit." It’s
the "making disciples" that drives
our goal to reach all men with the good news of the
gospel. How do we reach people? First by our own
personal witness whether at work, or school, or on
the play ground.
Third,
we want to create an atmosphere at Calvary where
believers can come and worship God in the spirit of
holiness, celebrating God’s grace and mercy. Our
Sunday service is a balanced blend of worship and
teaching. Although I believe and teach the full
gifts of the Spirit, our time together on Sundays is
best described as conservative. The main reason we
are together is to learn all we can about God’s
Word, so that God becomes our full focus whether we
are worshipping together, or during our time of
teaching.
Finally
. . . My prayer and desire is to see you growing in
the Lord. So many Christians start their
relationship with the Lord like a 4th of
July skyrocket! At first there is a lot of sparks
and excitement followed by a big boom, then it all
fades away. My goal is to help you burn with a
sustained passion every day for the Lord through the
teaching of His Word. From God's word you will discover
all you need to walk along in this life together
with Jesus. Remember this . . . its not how high you
can jump that’s important, but how straight you
walk when you land. Come and discover together with
us all that the Lord has for us found in the
greatest Book in all of history, the Bible!
