"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.

In this message, Pastor Lloyd examines Paul’s response to the foolish accusations made against him by false teachers. Scripture warns us not to answer a fool according to his folly, yet there are times when wisdom calls us to speak up so that foolishness is not mistaken for truth. Paul reluctantly defends himself—not to boast, but to protect the Gospel from those seeking to undermine it. Despite enduring intense hardship, persecution, and suffering for Christ, Paul learned humility and discernment through these trials. His example reminds us of the true danger of foolishness and the importance of standing firm in God’s wisdom and relying on His strength, not our own.

In this message, Pastor Lloyd warns believers to be alert to false teaching and the subtle nature of demonic warfare. The enemy uses deceitful doctrines and clever schemes to draw people away from the truth of God’s Word. Paul urges believers to resist deception by standing firm in the gospel—Jesus Christ and Him crucified—the truth that alone sets us free.

Together, we’ll lift our voices in heartfelt praise—giving honor and glory to our Lord. The evening will begin with prayer and a reading of Psalm 100 led by Pastor Robert, followed by a devotion from Pastor Lloyd, communion, and a testimony from one of our elders.

Spiritual warfare is real and often subtle. Paul urges believers to submit to God, cast down arguments against Christ, and take every thought captive. Pastor Lloyd explains how even modern technology can become a tool the enemy uses to distract us from God. In a world full of noise, victory comes by keeping our minds anchored in Christ and relying on God’s strength.

We invite you to a special 40-Year Celebration of God’s faithfulness at Calvary Old Bridge, as well as a warm welcome to those who are new to our fellowship.
