Calvary Greenwood Preaching

Does you life today look the way you planned it 20 years ago? Probably not! But even though things rarely go according to plan, there is still a way to plan wisely in a way that doesn't lead to anxiety, anger, or compromise.

Too many of us have tried to follow Jesus while chasing after the world's pleasures. But Jesus wants all of our hearts and shows us just how to come back and follow him fully.

Places where infighting and drama reign are so common that now there's a word for them: toxic environments. But they've been around since the beginning, and James 3:12-18 shows us that there is more to them than meets the eye. We'll look at the wisdom that rests under toxic and harmonious cultures, how to make sure you're helping and not hurting, and what do to if you're trapped in one.

Our words have such great power to hurt others. But what's worse, we can't even tame them! Still, through Jesus there is a way to become a person who speaks life-giving words.

There is at least one major way Jesus' resurrection should inform every decision you make, impacting the rest of your life.

What happens when Jesus turns out to be different than you expected?

"Christian," Have You Deceived Yourself? | James 1:22-27 by Calvary Baptist Church, Greenwood, IN

Jesus wants Christians to be the kind of people that everyone wants to listen to. But in James 1:19-21 he teaches us a counterintuitive way of getting there.

There is one quality the Lord calls forth from leaders over and over again in the Bible. It's learned over time, and it tells us what sort of leaders we should work to raise up at Calvary.

When you're tempted, there is much more going on behind the scenes. This look inside could help you fight the battle and win the ultimate prize.

Sometimes suffering overwhelms you and makes you realize that you don't have enough wisdom to deal with life. What do you do?

There is a reason the Christian life is difficult, and it's a good one!
