Calvary Church | MessagesChoose Your Words, Part 3: Cautiously / Beau Eckert We need to choose our words intentionally in order to build up not tear down. We need to choose our words slowly by being quick to hear, slow to speak and slow to anger. Today, we learn that we must choose our words cautiously because our tongues are untamable. Is that even possible? Let’s discover together...
2020-08-0935 minCalvary Church | MessagesChoose Your Words, Part 2: Slowly / Beau Eckert Last week, we saw from Ephesians 4:29 that we should Choose Our Words intentionally in order to build others up.

2018-04-0843 minCalvary Church | MessagesFar Off, Part 1: Easter Sunday / Beau Eckert We always ask “why?” . . . from curious toddlers discovering the fascinations of their small world to learned astronomers exploring the mysteries of outer space. In fact, the question “why” has two layers. We want to know the cause AND the significance, particularly for ourselves. Today, we may just discover those answers to the most important “why” question of all.

Calvary Church | MessagesThe One Story S2, Episode 11: The Great Nation / Beau Eckert David succeeded as king where Saul failed. David was “a man after God’s own heart”—humble, trusting, obedient, and repentant. David got it. Israel thrived under King David—victorious in battle, righteous in his judgments. In response to David’s faithful heart, God expanded The Promise by designating David’s an eternal throne from which the future King of kings will come. Do we have a great nation yet? We’re almost there.

Enter King Saul — tall and handsome. He started well, but soon it all went to his head. Abandoning God’s will for his own, Saul became the king that had no closeness to God. God saw through him, and soon everyone saw what God had always seen. Having suffered with the king they wanted, Israel is now ready for the king of God’s choosing.
2018-03-1143 minCalvary Church | MessagesThe One Story S2, Episode 9: The Nation's Leadership Crisis / Beau Eckert The days of the Judges . . . when everyone did what was right in their own eyes. The nation slogged through 3 centuries of recurring failure—disobedience, disaster, repentance, rescue. Then the ugly cycle kept recycling. Gross idolatry and gross immorality darkened the landscape with only a few bright spots sprinkled in between! Turning to Judges 22-25 (a.k.a. Ruth 1-4), God cast His light forward to show the way out . . . to someone named David . . . but first we meet Samuel and Saul.

But then we turn the pages of history to Judges and a time when, “Everyone did what was right in his own eyes.” It was a time much like our own. Will He judge His people again? Will The One Story come to a screeching halt? Who still trusts God? The answer may just surprise you.

The people had a leader, they’re headed to The Promised Land but first they need a God- given culture.

God rescued Moses from certain death and nurtured him in Pharaoh’s household, all providentially, in order to lead the Israelites out of Egypt and into the Promised Land. Moses will lead Israel by speaking God’s Word and backing it up with God’s validating miracles. Lead on, Moses!
2018-01-2837 minCalvary Church | MessagesThe One Story S2, Episode 3: The Nation's Theocratic Leader / Beau Eckert In Season 2 of The One Story, God begins to answer some of questions that arose in Season 1. God's plan to bless the whole world begins with building a great nation. Certainly not how we'd do it! From our vantage point in Genesis 12 it's far from clear how building a great nation fits into God's larger plan to bless the world. That it does, and will eventually be wonderful, is not in doubt. It's ours now to see how God will do it. Hold on to your hats. It's a wild ride.

What do the Founding Fathers of the nation God promised need to be? Faithful to God, in order to be examples of faith to all who follow after all! The great nation, to be great, must live by faith. In Episode 1, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob laid the foundation. Let’s see how God began to build on it.
2018-01-1448 minCalvary Church | MessagesFreed Up, Part 3: Free Agent / Beau Eckert False teachers were distorting the gospel message and undermining the gospel messenger. They said since Paul wasn’t one of Jesus’ original disciples, he wasn’t a genuine apostle. Paul defends himself as one of God's agents for the gospel by describing how he received his calling directly from Jesus Christ.
2017-07-0949 minCalvary Church | MessagesFreed Up, Part 2: Free Trade / Beau Eckert In the opening verses, Paul described his authority and summarized the Gospel—grace to you, glory to God because of the cross of Jesus Christ. He then forgoes his typical pattern of prayer, praise and thanksgiving because he is astonished at the trade they have made—the freedom found in the grace of Christ for the bondage of “another” Gospel.
2017-07-0244 minCalvary Church | MessagesFreed Up, Part 1: Free Delivery / Beau Eckert Today, we dive into the Apostle Paul’s letter to the Galatians. It was the first letter he wrote addressing specific and critical concerns for the first-century churches in Galatia. This letter is as timely and relevant for us today as it was for its original recipients. It will be our guide to breaking free through the Gospel of all that’s entangling us. Let’s embrace the Gospel, all of it, and get fully and finally . . . Freed Up!
