Calvary Chapel Old Bridge

In this Father's Day message, Pastor Lloyd highlights the importance of fathers and their God-given role in the family. He examines the cultural view of fatherhood and how secularism has diminished the significance of fathers in society. Biblical fatherhood calls men to raise their children to love the Lord, stand for truth, and live with courage. Fathers are meant to reflect God's love, truth, wisdom, and guidance to their children. As they faithfully fulfill this calling, they play a vital role in strengthening families, society, and the church.

Together, we'll be looking at the key moments, challenges, and lessons from Paul's life and ministry, discovering how God used him to impact the world with the gospel and what his example means for us today.

Tonight, Pastor Rico will be teaching on "Holiness" from Romans 6:1–14 and other assorted scriptures, examining what it means to live a life set apart for God and empowered by His grace.

Whether you're new to studying Paul's life or have spent years learning from his example, this series is designed to encourage and strengthen your walk with Christ.

David, a man after God’s own heart who conquered Goliath and defeated Philistine armies, fell into the trap of lust. Pastor Lloyd warns that there is often danger after great victories. David should have been fighting alongside his men, but instead, he stayed home and entertained temptation. Rather than resisting it, he walked into the night and embraced it, then brutally covered up his sin. The same danger exists today when we are left alone with our screens and confronted with temptation. Pastor Lloyd highlights the importance of considering the consequences of our choices. No matter our victories or strengths, we are helpless without God. Though David was stained by sin, as we all are, the sacrifice of Christ is able to wash us white as snow.

Pastor Brien Dunphy will be sharing a message titled "Theology of Theologies," offering insight into the theological foundations that shaped Paul's ministry and continue to impact the Church today.

When we deserved justice, the Lord showed us grace and kindness. In 2 Samuel 8–10, David was establishing his kingdom in Jerusalem. Remembering his covenant with Jonathan, David sought out Jonathan's son, Mephibosheth, and showed him extraordinary kindness. Pastor Lloyd highlights this beautiful picture of God's grace toward us through Jesus Christ, who has shown us mercy and invited us to sit at His table as His children. To reject such a gift would be foolish.

Pastor Robert will kick off the series with a message from Acts 9 titled, “From Persecutor to Preacher,” looking at the powerful conversion of Saul of Tarsus and how God can radically transform any life for His glory.

Bad news often comes before good news. In 2 Samuel 7, David desires to build a house for God, but the Lord reveals that David is not the one who will accomplish that task. What may have seemed like disappointing news was actually the doorway to something far greater. God promises David an everlasting kingdom and points forward to the coming Messiah, Jesus Christ. Join Pastor Lloyd as he explores how God's plans often exceed our expectations, teaching us to trust Him when His answer is different from what we had hoped.

Pastor Vinny will be sharing a message titled, “From Bitterness to Forgiveness,” out of Romans 5:8. As we look at the depth of Christ’s love for us—even while we were still sinners—we’ll be encouraged to let go of bitterness, walk in forgiveness, and experience the freedom that only the gospel can bring!

In this message, Pastor Lloyd looks at David’s desire to seek the Lord and follow His direction, especially in times of battle. David’s victories remind us that the Lord was with him, guiding and establishing him as king. Yet Scripture also honestly records David’s failures, including his compromise with multiple marriages and his mishandling of the ark’s return. Through David’s life, we see both the seriousness of obedience and the faithfulness of God toward those who remain sensitive to His voice.
