What happens when our desires conflict with God's will? In “Not My Will But Thine,” Pastor Jason Sharp teaches about the importance of surrender, prayer, and choosing God's purpose over our own preferences. Jesus consistently sought to do the Father's will. In John 4:34, He described doing God's will as His food, and in the Garden of Gethsemane, He prayed, “Nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done” (Luke 22:42). Through these passages, Pastor Sharp challenges believers to examine their priorities, deepen their relationship with God, and willingly surrender the desires that compete with His Word. Surrender is more than a statement. It involves daily prayer, obedience, sacrifice, and a willingness to participate in God's work. Pastor also addresses the value of souls, the distractions that can pull us away from spiritual priorities, and the importance of responding to others with love rather than anger or retaliation. “The closer you get to God, the more you want to do His will.” — Pastor Jason Sharp Following the message, Bishop Paul Sharp leads communion, reflecting on the sacrifice of Jesus Christ and the importance of repentance, unity, and love within the body of Christ. KEY TAKEAWAYS Jesus provides the ultimate example of surrender to God's will. Prayer strengthens our commitment to obedience. Our desires can change as we grow closer to God. Surrender involves action, not passivity. Every soul has value in God's eyes. Doing God's will requires sacrifice and spiritual discipline. Communion reminds us of Christ's sacrifice and our responsibility to one another.

What happens when the battle you're facing is bigger than your strength? In “The Battle Is Not Yours,” Pastor Jason Sharp teaches from 2 Chronicles 20 and the story of King Jehoshaphat, showing how God's people can move from fear to faith through prayer, humility, and worship. When an overwhelming army threatened Judah, Jehoshaphat did not pretend the danger wasn't real. He was afraid, but he chose to seek the Lord. God's answer was clear: the battle belonged to Him. Instead of relying on their own strength, the people humbled themselves before God. Worshipers went before the army, praising the Lord before they could see the outcome. Pastor Sharp challenges believers to adopt that same posture of faith—turning their attention toward God rather than allowing circumstances to control their response. Throughout the message, he also explores the connection between worship, peace, spiritual warfare, and unity. Drawing from Romans 16:20 and Ephesians 6, he reminds the congregation that spiritual battles are not fought through anger or division but through faith, truth, prayer, and steadfastness. The message then expands beyond individual struggles into a call for Calvary to stand together for its families, young people, and community. KEY TAKEAWAYS Fear does not have to determine our response. Worship redirects our attention toward God. God's strength is greater than our opposition. Praise can come before visible victory. Peace and unity are essential in spiritual warfare. We are called to pray and stand together for our city.

You're never alone. God is able to provide assistance beyond what you can see. In “Angels,” Pastor Jason Sharp explores the biblical ministry of angels and challenges believers to recognize their dependence on God's supernatural power. Beginning with Cornelius's encounter in Acts 10, Pastor Sharp explains how angels serve as God's messengers and ministering spirits, carrying out His purposes. Throughout the message, he draws from biblical accounts involving Abraham, Jacob, Balaam, Daniel, Joshua, and others to illustrate angelic activity in Scripture. But this message is more than a study about angels. It's a call to prayer, faith, obedience, and participation in God's work. Pastor Sharp reminds us that God is concerned about people who have not yet received salvation. In Acts 10, an angel directs Cornelius to send for Peter, who would bring the message of the gospel. The sermon also includes testimonies of prayer and revival, encouraging the church to believe that God can work in ways beyond our natural understanding. As the message concludes, Pastor Sharp challenges every believer to take responsibility for prayer, outreach, and service while trusting God to provide the assistance only He can give. KEY TAKEAWAYDo what God has called you to do through prayer, obedience, and faithful service—and trust Him with what is beyond your ability.

Different gifts. One body. United in love. In “The Power of Unity,” Pastor Jason Sharp teaches about the beauty and strength of God's people working together as one body in Christ. Beginning with Psalm 133, Pastor Sharp reminds us that unity is both good and pleasant. Through 1 Corinthians 12, he explores the importance of every member of the church and explains why God has given different people different gifts and responsibilities. No member is unnecessary, and no gift should become a source of pride or competition. But Paul goes even further. In 1 Corinthians 13, he introduces the more excellent way: love. Pastor Sharp challenges believers to examine not only what they do for God, but also how they treat the people around them. Spiritual gifts and ministry responsibilities are important, but love, humility, and Christian character must guide the way we serve. This message also offers encouragement to anyone who feels they have failed or no longer belong. God's love is not earned through perfect performance, and His desire for relationship remains at the heart of our walk with Him. You'll be encouraged to celebrate others, recognize your place in the body of Christ, release bitterness, and actively bless those around you.

What happens when the miracle you're praying for hasn't come? In “Faith That Endures,” Pastor Jason Sharp challenges believers to build their lives on the truth of God's Word and continue trusting Jesus through fear, suffering, and uncertainty. Beginning with Luke 13, Pastor Sharp shares the account of a woman who had suffered from an infirmity for eighteen years. Jesus saw her, called her forward, and healed her. Her story reveals the compassion and power of Christ. But Pastor Sharp also raises a difficult question: What happens when God doesn't change our circumstances the way we hoped? Through Jesus' teaching about building on the rock and the experience of John the Baptist, this message explores the difference between a faith that depends on favorable circumstances and a faith that endures through every season. You'll be encouraged to reject the assumption that suffering means God is displeased with you, remain grounded in Scripture, and continue following Jesus even when life is difficult. Primary Scripture: Luke 13:10–17 Additional Scriptures: Matthew 7:24–27; 2 Timothy 1:7; Luke 7:18–23; Hebrews 11:6 Key Takeaway: Faith that endures doesn't depend on the absence of storms. It depends on the foundation we stand upon. About Calvary Our mission is helping hurting people reach their full potential in Christ by serving with excellence.
