Calvary Church - Maumee

Sermon for June 22, 2025

Don't settle for just knowing about Jesus, get to know who He really is! On Father's Day, June 15, 2025, Pastor Chad Gilligan gives the church the same pop quiz Jesus gave His disciples.

Join Calvary for Real Jesus, as we return to the book of Matthew, and Pastor Chad Gilligan cautions us against not knowing the truth about who Jesus really is.

On this journey of life, you will face obstacles and hard times, but God provides rest stops along the way to build you up and renew your spirit. On Sunday, June 1, 2025, Pastor Jay Heiss encourages us not to give up our destination for the rest stop. Because greater things are ahead!

Treating people the way you want to be treated is more than the golden rule, it's God's command.

Is your feelings, your opinions, your demands, and your wants, your top priority? When you make your comfort the most important thing in your life, you have declared who your god is. And it’s no surprise that when life doesn’t go according to your will, you start grumbling. On Sunday, May 18, 2025, Pastor Chad Gilligan delivers PART 3 of Blessing Blockers.

God wants the very best for you. He wants to flood you life, your family, and your home with blessings. But either we don't know or we don't ask for all the good things He wants to give us. On Mother's Day, May 11, 2025, Pastor Chad Gilligan gives us Three Ways God wants to Bless Us.

Sometimes, if given the choice, we would rather chose the blocker over God's blessing. We assume the blocker isn't that bad. We would rather do it our way, and it's not like we are missing out on anything too big. Most people would chose the same; majority wins. But when we start rationalizing our way as truth, choosing it instead of God, we are choosing a life of sin and idolatry. On Sunday, May 4, 2025, Pastor Chad Gilligan unpacks more Blessing Blockers in your life.

More than sin can block you from God's best. Little every day things that you overlook, downplay, or take for granted can become a huge obstacle in your life. On Sunday, April 27, 2025, Pastor Chad Gilligan helps us identify a few Blessing Blockers.

When Jesus made His triumphal entry, He was doing more that riding on a donkey. He was fulfilling prophecy. He was making a promise. He was paving the way to Good Friday, Easter morning, and ultimately salvation. On Sunday, April 13, 2025, Pastor Chad reminds us of these Palm Sunday Principles.

You are not an accident. God knows who you are: your name, your talents, skills, and gifts. He also knows the people that only you can reach. On Sunday, April 6, 2025, Calvary welcomed guest speaker, Dr. Aaron Santmyire, as he reminded us that You are Being Sent. StartCaringToday.com

The early church was built on missions, and the calling for obedience remains the same today. When we support missions locally and around the world, God opens the door of blessing for the individual, the church body, as well as the lost. On Sunday, March 30, 2025, Pastor Chad Gilligan tag teams with Leah Lorann and preaches about what Missions Does.

Sermon about what it means to have Great Faith and Prayer on Sunday, March 23, 2025

On March 16, 2025, Pastor Chad Gilligan unpacked the weight we carry in life.

Can you spot a counterfeit? Anyone can say they are a Christian, but God wants people of real faith. On Sunday, March 9, 2025, Pastor Chad Gilligan started a new sermon series, giving us 5 questions to measure your faith by.

From the subtle influences of disrespect and entitlement to larger social-political issues of identity and reproductive rights, it can be overwhelming to raise children. But God does not make mistakes. He has called you and your child for a time like this, equipping you with everything you need. On Sunday, March 2, 2025, guest speaker, Randy Young, challenges the church to Raise World Changers, rooted in the mission of God. 

Faith is not religious beliefs. It's not something that you just reside in, like sitting in a church pew. Faith requires action. It's pushes you to grow. Pushes you to trust. Pushes you to do the hard thing, the right thing, and move in the calling God placed on your life. On Sunday, February 23, 2025, Pastor Chad Gilligan wrapped up his "Room for More" sermon series by calling everyone to make a commitment to faith.

Faith isn't always the easy path. It can be full of uncertainty, sacrifice, and obedience. But it is always rewarding when we try to please the Lord first instead of ourselves. On Sunday, February 16, 2025, Pastor Chad Gilligan examined 4 of 7 phases of faith.
