Calvary Church

Scripture: Colossians 3:18-21Pastor: Roger Ferrell - Lead PastorSummary: Based on Colossians 3:18-21, this sermon emphasizes that the ultimate test of the Christian faith is not found in a church sanctuary, but in how believers apply God's transforming grace within their own homes. Living out and giving out God's grace - sacrificial love from husbands, joyful submission from wives, patient authority from parents, and willing obedience from children - can and should reflect the gospel. Families are encouraged to rely on the Holy Spirit and cultivate daily habits that make their households a gracious haven from a harsh world. Website: https://cccmw.com/ 

Scripture: Colossians 3:12-17 Pastor: Roger Ferrell - Lead PastorSummary: Once Christians have put to death sinful hearts and habits, what fills the hole that leaves in their affections, appetites and actions? Followers of Christ must find their hope and identity as God's chosen, holy and beloved children. Putting away sin and putting on Christ transforms hearts and minds, churches and families. Website: https://cccmw.com/ 

Scripture: Colossians 3:5-11Pastor: Roger Ferrell - Lead PastorSummary: In this exposition of Colossians 3:5–11, we are reminded that rejecting sinful thoughts and actions flows from “the expulsive power of a new affection,” our identity in Christ. We need to recognize that sin is born of false beliefs about God and ourselves, and that we are called to mortify sin rather than merely manage it. Equipping believers with practical daily habits to “put away sin” and “put on Christ”, it envisions a renewed, unified church community where earthly divisions vanish and Christ is prized as our ultimate treasure.Website: https://cccmw.com/ 

Preaching from Colossians 3:1–4, Jonathan Susee reminds believers to lift their hearts and minds above the anxieties, distractions, and uncertainties of this present world and fix them on Christ. Because Christ is risen, reigning, and returning—and our lives are securely hidden with Him—we can live faithfully today with confidence in what He has already accomplished and hope in the glory still to come.

Preaching from Colossians 2:16–23, Pastor Roger Ferrell contrasts the shadows of legalism, religious traditions, and human rules with the substance found in Jesus Christ. Because our acceptance before God rests in Christ’s finished work rather than our performance, believers are called to hold fast to Him, trust His sufficiency, and grow in genuine relationships with one another—resting in the truth that in Christ we are completely known and completely loved.

Preaching from Colossians 2:11–15, Pastor Roger Ferrell explains what it truly means to be alive in Christ. Through Jesus, our old life has been buried, our sins forgiven, our debt nailed to the cross, and our enemy defeated. Rather than trying to earn what Christ has already accomplished, believers can rest in His finished work and walk in the freedom, hope, and new life He has secured for us. 

Preaching from Colossians 1:23–27, Pastor Roger Ferrell reminds believers that our perseverance in faith rests not ultimately on our ability to hold on to God, but on His power to hold on to us. Because Christ has fully accomplished our salvation, we can live with confidence in His keeping grace while faithfully pursuing holiness and making His sacrificial love visible to others. Our hope is not found in our own strength or merit, but in the glorious mystery of the gospel: Christ in you, the hope of glory.

Preaching from Colossians 1:18–22, Pastor Roger Ferrell points us to Jesus Christ as both the head and the hope of His church. Christ alone gives His people life, reveals the fullness and glory of God, and through the blood of His cross reconciles sinners who were once alienated from God. In Him, we are redeemed, remade, and presented holy and blameless before the Father—called to live joyfully under His headship and rest our hope entirely in Him.
