Calvary Church - Maumee

Plans were broken, dreams disillusioned, and now you are feeling the strain of isolation. While the world seems at the end with this massive world-wide pandemic, you are locked down, stuck inside your house. Long before COVID-19, the apostle John was forced into exile on the island of Patmos. Knowing the strain of isolation and missing loved ones, he wrote seven letters to churches of that time. On Sunday, March 22, 2020, Pastor Chad begins a new sermon series, Seven Letters, and gives us three things to remember in isolated times.

The Corona Virus, also known as COVID-19, has swept through the world, terrorizing people of every nationality. People are panicking, hospitals overwhelmed, and stores emptied. But the Creator of all things is still on the throne. The God, who has knitted us together in our mothers’ womb, knows every fear and weakness, loves each one of us, and has a plan for our future. On Sunday, March 15, 2020, Calvary Church hosted a special online service, calling together all believers for a time of prayer, worship, and to remember Four Things to do during COVID-19.

As Christian parents, our role is to gradually transfer a child’s dependence away from us until their dependence rests solely on God. But with the world and human nature fighting against us, it can be hard to know where to start. On Sunday March 8, 2020, Pastor Lindsay Jordan, Calvary’s Children’s Pastor, showed us that being parents is more than an existence, it’s a calling from God.

Parenting is never easy. Even King David, a man after God’s own heart, failed at parenting three of his sons. Only by relying on God and turning to Him for guidance can we hope to succeed. On Sunday, March 1, 2020, Pastor Chad Gilligan looks at the life of David, showing how your relationship with God today will impact your children tomorrow and generations to come.

Healthy Things Grow (2/2/20) by Calvary Church

Roots (1/19/20) by Calvary Church

Christmas Lights (12/22/19) by Calvary Church

Few people knew Jesus as the disciple John did. John was Jesus’ closest friend, the disciple whom He loved, a brother of His heart. Yet, when John wrote his gospel, instead of recounting the story of the manger, John reminds us of Jesus’ power and divinity from the very beginning. On Sunday, December 15, 2019, Pastor Chad Gilligan reminds us to go beyond the nativity story and make Jesus big this Christmas.

Three Questions for Christmas (12/8/19) by Calvary Church

Life happens fast, and before we know it, our life will come to an end.

Whether you are rich or poor, young or old, successful or not, no matter who you are, we will all meet the same end one day. Death will come, and none of the accomplishments or material possessions will matter anymore. But there is still hope! We can have eternal impact far beyond our meager lives. On Sunday, November 10,2019, Pastor Jordan Moore challenges us to shift gears when we face the prospect of our own mortality.
