With Wings Like Eagles: Soaring High in Life's Challenges
Sunday mornings, 9:45 AM
A new series from Pastor Munro
Beginning August 25

Life is tough. Each day brings its own challenges, and everyone, including followers of Jesus Christ, may feel overwhelmed. What are we supposed to do?

Isaiah 40:31 offers a brilliant promise: “They who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint.” But what does this really mean?

Join us on Sunday mornings at 9:45 AM, starting August 25, as Pastor John Munro begins a new message series on “Soaring High in Life’s Challenges.” God-centered living gives us hope and supernatural strength. Don’t miss this encouraging, life-changing new series—and invite others!

8/25: Trusting God in Tough Times
9/1: Trials and Temptations
9/8: Abandoned by God

"But they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint." — Isaiah 40:31

The Life of Moses
A new evening series from Pastor Munro
Sundays at 6:00 PM, beginning September 8 as weekly Sunday evening services resume

Moses is one of the outstanding figures of the Old Testament. He's the brilliant leader called by God to deliver Israel from the slavery of Egypt, the great lawgiver who received the Ten Commandments, and the friend of God who recorded the first five books of the Bible.

The New Testament reminds us that Moses turned his back on “the fleeting pleasures of sin” (Hebrews 11:25). He lived by faith and chose to follow God rather than a comfortable life in Egypt.

Join us on Sunday evenings as we study the life of Moses and discover what it means to live by faith — to be obedient to the purposes of God and to trust God for the impossible!

Romans: Experience the power of the Gospel
Praise God for this powerful message series just completed by Pastor John Munro!

Replay and/or share sermons from the series at media.calvarychurch.com (choose Sermons/Romans). You can also browse or download the Romans study guides prepared by Pastor Munro and our Calvary pastors – just click on the covers or links below to access each guide. CD sets are also available in our Word Room.

                                          

Part 1 | The Heart of the Gospel (Romans 1-4) 
Part 2 | The Hope of the Gospel (Romans 5-8)
Part 3 | The Defense of the Gospel (Romans 9-11)
Part 4 | The Transformation of the Gospel (Romans 12-16)

Many people have a distorted view of "the Gospel.” What is the Gospel? How is it relevant? What difference (if any) does it make in our lives?

The overwhelming theme of the book of Romans is the Gospel of Jesus Christ. To study Romans is to learn the central doctrines of authentic Christianity and how to apply it to our lives in a practical way. Do you know the power of the Gospel?

"For I am not ashamed of the Gospel for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes" (Romans 1:16).

The Life of David
An evening series from Pastor Munro

Pastor Munro recently completed this evening series on Sunday, April 28. Click here to replay messages online (choose Sermons/Life of David). CD sets are also available in the Word Room bookstore!

David is one of the outstanding characters of the Bible. The young man who was a shepherd became Israel’s greatest king, the only person described in Scripture as “a man after God’s own heart” (1 Samuel 13:14, Acts 13:22).

For many of us as children, David and Goliath was our favorite Bible story, but did you realize that there is more detail about David than any other person in the Old Testament? And of all Old Testament figures, he is mentioned most frequently in the New Testament.

Our Lord Jesus Christ is identified as “the son of David” (Matthew 1:1) and states “I am the root and the descendant of David, the bright morning star” (Revelation 22:16).

Clearly, David is someone we need to know! Scripture paints a realistic portrait of a great man with many successes, but also flaws and failures. How encouraging for all of us as followers of Christ. Learn how you can be a person after God’s own heart!

“I give you this charge: Preach the Word” (2 Timothy 4:1–2).

My calling and passion in life are to glorify God through the exposition of Holy Scripture. From the time God called me to pastoral ministry from practicing law, I knew I was going to serve as a local pastor and preach.

I realize that many people like to hear inspirational speakers promising “the best life now” or offering pragmatic techniques to make life more comfortable. But I believe the Bible is the inspired, inerrant Word of God and therefore relevant and sufficient for every spiritual need.
