The media, the politicians, your coworkers, friends, and even family want to tell you what to believe, how to think, and what to do. It’s hard to discern what is right, what is true, and what is just popular. When life seems uncertain, it’s important to stop and find clarity. On Sunday, May 16, 2021, Pastor Chad Gilligan gives Three Clarity Decisions for Building Blessing in your life.

Character is more than who you appear to be, it’s who you truly are inside. And when pressure comes, when someone opposes you, and things don’t go according to plan, that’s when your true self begins to show. That’s when the door is open for God to bless you. On Sunday, May 9, 2021, Pastor Chad Gilligan gives us “Three Legs of Strong Character.”

Conflict is a part of normal, everyday life. Some people avoid it. Some people instigate it. Some people complain about it. But conflict doesn’t have to be negative or destructive. It can also be a tool for building blessing in our lives.

Change is inevitable – life is constantly changing. But some changes lead to something greater, better, and bigger. Some changes are orchestrating by God to bring blessing into your life. Instead of fighting change, ask God for His will and what you can do to prepare for it. On Sunday, April 25, 2021, Pastor Chad Gilligan encourages us to accept and embrace the cycle of change in our lives.

You've dreamed, you planned, you prayed. Your life is set out for you. But instead of the God-given dream you thought you had, it's actually a self-centered hallucination, destined to fail without God's blessing. Before you plan your next goals for the future, seek God's will and purpose for your life. That way instead of praying for your desires to be blessed, you can choose an already blessed path. On Sunday April 18, 2021, Calvary Church welcomes guest speaker, Pastor Greg Ford, as he speaks on Dreams & Hallucinations.

All great achievements in life don’t just happen. They begin with preparation and planning. The same goes for spiritual blessing and growth.

The resurrection of Jesus shook the Earth and Heavens to its foundations. This cataclysmic event opened the gates of Heaven and provided forgiveness from sin, as well as freedom from the tortures of Hell.

On Easter Sunday, April 4, 2021, Pastor Chad Gilligan gives 6 Empty-Tomb Truths and what Jesus' resurrection personally means for you.

It was finally here: a time of celebration, a time of reflection, a time to look forward to the future with hope. Jews from all over the world would travel to Jerusalem to come together and celebrate Passover. However, this year would not be the same. It would never be the same again when the people heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem for the festival, and he arrived, riding on a donkey. On Sunday, March 28, 2021, Pastor Chad Gilligan recounts the story of Palm Sunday and reminds us that "Love is Here."

It consumes you. Your thoughts, your goals, your feelings. It fills your days and guides your relationships. This unhealthy distraction will eventually fade away and leave you empty and devastated. This is an idol - anything or anyone that competes with God in your life. On Sunday, March 21, 2021, Pastor Chad Gilligan concludes his sermon series, The Power of Love, and shows us the answer to today's modern idols.

God is love. There is no greater example of love. Through Him, there is hope, peace, confidence, family, and so much more all because He loves you. But, in return, He also made you to love others as well. On Sunday, March 14, 2021, Pastor Chad Gilligan continues “The Power of Love” sermon series by giving us Three Things About Us.

No matter your age or status in life, you are unequivocally loved and valued by God. He believes in you and wants you to make the most of the season you are in right now.

On Sunday, February 21, 2021, Pastor Chad Gilligan takes a look at 1 John 2:28 and the hope we have for the future.

When facing confusion and disunity, it’s best to get the facts straight first. People are quick to twist the truth, give half-truths, and deceive others and themselves. When you know the facts and what is real, the truth can set you free and pave the way for healing and growth. On Sunday, February 14, 2021, Pastor Chad Gilligan began a new sermon series, The Power of Love, and gives us “Three Things that are Real.”

Everyone has a purpose. Everyone has been placed in this world to do something. But staying true and fulfilling our purpose doesn’t just happen. It’s not an easy thing. If we do not train and discipline ourselves to stay focused, we may get distracted and lose our way. On Sunday, February 7, 2021, Pastor Jay Heiss gives us Four Tips on How to Run a Good Race.

A blessing is more than kind words or a superficial compliment. It is speaking truth and life into someone. It’s instilling purpose, hope, and trust. When you withhold your blessing from others, you deny both yourself and the other person what God can do through it. On Sunday, January 31,2021, Pastor Chad Gilligan shows the importance of giving the blessing to others.

Generosity opens the door to blessing, and blessing opens the door to generosity. One directly leads to the other. If you are lacking blessing in your life, it’s best to start looking at your checkbook, your time, your talents, and your attitudes. What you do (or not do), could be impeding what God wants to do through you. On Sunday, January 24, 2021, Pastor Chad Gilligan preaches about the importance of giving and the blessings that come from it.

Life is full of setbacks, but you determine whether it ends in defeat or sets the stage for an amazing comeback.

On Sunday, January 17, 2021, Pastor Keith Kurtz preaches from the book of Genesis and the life of Joseph, reminding us that an unexpected setback is only an opportunity to something greater.

A nation, who once pledged unity, now stands divided. Following the attack on the Capitol building, American citizens everywhere struggle with the ramifications.

He is calling us to go beyond our differences and truly care for each other. On Sunday, January 10, 2020, Pastor Chad Gilligan stresses the importance of church unity and the blessings that come from it.
