Calvary Church Bentonville

Pastor Barron delivers a compelling message on the importance of a pastor’s covering in both the church and the home. Drawing from Psalm 23 and the stories of Elisha, he reveals how the rod and staff represent loving correction, protection, and spiritual oversight. In seasons of growth, uncertainty, and rebuilding, we are reminded that God works through spiritual authority to restore, preserve, and guide His people. True strength comes when we willingly remain under the covering God has placed in our lives.

Worship is more than a song we sing. It is a life fully surrendered to God. This message reminds us that true worship begins in the heart and is expressed through obedience, trust, and daily devotion. What we worship ultimately shapes who we become, and when our hearts are fixed on Jesus, real transformation takes place. As inward worship overflows into outward praise, we are invited to engage with God in spirit and in truth with everything we are.

We don’t miss out on miracles because God stops working—we miss out on miracles because we stop watching for them.

We are all called to serve. To effectively serve in the Kingdom of God, we will need to serve as the church. We will need to engage in the ministry of the saints alongside our pastor.

Where you are right now doesn't matter as much as where you are headed. Let go have past victories and hurts because God's best work is still ahead of us.

This sermon invites us to rediscover prayer not as a ritual or performance, but as a real, life-giving connection with God. It explores what prayer truly is, what can hinder it, and how both personal and corporate prayer draw us into alignment with His will. We’re also challenged to see how fasting humbles our flesh and strengthens our spiritual focus. Together, it’s a call to move beyond routine and truly engage with God in a deeper, more powerful way.

Dis-engangement is the enemies success. Now is the time to engage in prayer, in the church body, and in the kingdom of God. He's not looking for perfect people, He is just looking for engagement.

We are longing for something better than this, greater than this, higher than this. Dreaming for a life free of addiction and pain. The opportunity is there, its what we do in this moment on earth that will decide our eternity.
