Calvary South Philly

It may seem like things are getting out of control and hopeless, FEAR NOT!!! Look to God & find strength & courage in who His word says He is! Let us stir up the gift he has placed in us, let us step out in faith to live our lives for His glory! Because God has not given us a spirit of fear! Isaiah 40:21-31, II Timothy 1:6-7.

Unity among God's people has always been crucial; to live a life that honors God and to spread the gospel message. So much so Jesus' request to the Father for the disciples and to all those who would believe was that they would be ONE with Him and be kept from evil one, so that the world may know God has loved them as He has loved Jesus!

Jesus stepped into our world to accomplish one goal that is to be a sacrificial lamb for humanity. "...He is not here, but is risen!" is the most hopeful words uttered. With that, God fulfilled His promise giving the hope of eternal life to the lost world. It's still true to this day to whosoever places their trust in Jesus Christ, because He is faithful!!!

Jesus knowing His hour had come, He takes on the ultimate position of a servant, stoops down to wash the disciples' feet, to show them what service looks like and how it ought to be done! John 13:1-17 

After praising Jesus and singing 'hosannah, blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord', in 5 days, the same crowd would shout 'Crucify Him'. But in the midst, Jesus points out a widow who gave all she had.  

Dennis shares from the book of Joshua 1:1-9 about God's command & promise of peace that allow His children to walk in courage & boldness, and the importance of studying and meditating God's word in order to experience His presence in the middle of a chaotic world. 

Mike shares from the gospel of Matthew (5:1-3) on the reality of what it means to truly be 'poor in spirit' and what our hearts attitude should be like while we're here on earth in light of eternity. 

In this study, Mike shares the beginning of Jesus' public ministry from the gospel of Matthew 4:11-25, as He heals a great multitude with all kinds of sicknesses and also the call His four disciples.
