Calvary Chapel Old Bridge

In the first message of the series, Pastor Lloyd highlights God’s faithfulness and Israel’s unfaithfulness. God told the prophet Hosea to marry a prostitute, mirroring the relationship between God and Israel. As Hosea’s wife, Gomer, was unfaithful to her husband, Israel was unfaithful to God. However, despite Israel’s unfaithfulness to the Lord, God promised to restore and redeem His people, showing His relentless and redeeming love.

We are living in a time when truth is constantly challenged and deception is everywhere—spiritually, culturally, and even within the church.

Together, we’ll look at how God calls believers to remain secure, grounded, and confident in Christ—even in the midst of false teaching and confusion.

In 2 Corinthians 13, Paul calls believers to “examine yourselves as to whether you are in the faith.” In this message, Pastor Lloyd reminds us that genuine faith is not just professed — it is proven through a transformed life. Spiritual growth begins with honest self-examination, allowing God to reveal areas that need correction, strengthening, and renewal. As we submit our hearts to the Lord, we learn to rely on His grace, walk in integrity, and experience the power of Christ working in us.

As we close out 2025, and gather for our last service of the year, we want to be encouraged and equipped for what God has prepared for us in the new year. Philippians 3 reminds us to “forget those things which are behind and reach forward to those things which are ahead” 

In 2 Corinthians 12:10–21, Paul demonstrates what true, Christlike love looks like in real life — a love marked by humility, sacrifice, and sincere concern for others’ spiritual growth. In this message, Pastor Lloyd reminds us that genuine love is more than words or feelings; it is not prideful nor domineering. Love is expressed through patient endurance, servant-hearted humility, and a willingness to invest in others, even when it costs us. As believers, we are called to reflect the heart of Christ by putting love into action by serving others.

In this, the love of God was manifested toward us, that God sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him. - 1 John 4:9

Love came down in the person of Jesus Christ. In 1 John 4:9, we read that God showed His love for us by sending His only Son into the world so that we might live through Him. In this message, Pastor Lloyd reminds us that God’s love is transformational — shaping our hearts to become more like Christ and deepening our love for one another. As recipients of His great sacrifice, we are called to live out and share this love with the world.

"Where is He who has been born King of the Jews? For we have seen His star in the East and have come to worship Him." - Matthew 2:2

The long-awaited King has come! The wise men's search reminds us that Jesus is not only the promised Messiah, but the true King who stepped into our world to bring hope, truth, and salvation. In this message, Pastor Lloyd reflects on what it means to seek and worship Christ as King — just as the Magi did so many years ago.

We live in a world filled with spiritual confusion, half-truths, and false claims about Jesus. In 1 John 2:18–23, the Apostle John warns believers about “the great lie”—denying who Jesus truly is—and how deception can quietly pull people away from the truth.

Join us as we learn how to recognize false teaching, remain anchored in Christ, and stand firm in a culture that increasingly rejects biblical truth.

In this passage, Paul warns of the danger of boasting and the temptation towards pride, even in spiritual experiences. Through Paul’s “thorn in the flesh,” Pastor Lloyd highlights the importance of humility and teaches how God’s power is made perfect when we rely on Him in our weakness.

In a world full of noise, pressure, and shifting values, Scripture reminds us of our real identity and purpose.
