CALVARY CHURCH WEEKLY NEWS | |
|
|
As Jesus began to tell the important Parable of the Sower, He said, “Listen!” After He told the parable and before He gave the explanation, He said, “He who has ears to hear, let him hear” (Mark 4:3, 9). In the parable, Jesus explained that only the seed sown on “the good soil” grew and bore fruit. During this week of missions, we are hearing from our missionaries, learning about different cultures and opportunities for the Gospel, and considering our own response. How important it is that we are listening, hearing the Word, accepting it, and bearing fruit (Mark 4:20). It is so easy for our hearts to be distracted by the things around us or for our hearts to be hardened because we think the challenge to “declare His glory among the nations” is for someone else.
On Sunday, we have the concluding service for the Missions Conference. I ask that you pray that many hearts will be open, that we will be humble listeners, and that we will respond to the call of our Master to declare His glory among the nations.

Calvary Building Expansion Project | |
|
Our proposed building expansion project is a 15,000-square-foot addition designed to enhance our welcome of newcomers, facilitate our growing teaching and prayer ministries, and build community in the body of Christ at Calvary Church.
The Reach Welcome Grow campaign, which supports the expansion, strengthens our ability in very practical ways to share the Gospel and more effectively be and make authentic followers of Jesus Christ.
