Hi Calvary Family,
During the next three Sundays, we will learn what the Lord has to say about our attitude towards the past, the present, and the future. The title of this three-week series of messages based on Philippians 3:7-15 is “Forward Focused.” In this passage, Paul expressed the importance of being forward-focused when he wrote:
“...I have not achieved it, but I focus on this one thing: Forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead, I press on to reach the end of the race and receive the heavenly prize for which God, through Christ Jesus, is calling us.”
I believe that the truth in these messages is always vital for Christians, but it is especially relevant during this time of year when we reflect on the past and pray to receive God’s direction and purpose for us in the coming year. Come on out this Sunday, ready to rejoice in our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, and receive his guidance. I hope to see you all at 9 am or 11 am!
-Pastor Randy

Whether you have been a Christian for one day or twenty years, "KNOW JESUS" is a class that will help you grow in your understanding of who Jesus is, what he has done for us through his death and resurrection, and what he will do for us in the future. In addition to deepening your own understanding of Jesus, this class will help equip you to explain to your family, friends, neighbors, and co-workers who Jesus is and what he has done for them.
Pastor Randy will teach KNOW JESUS on three consecutive Wednesday nights: Jan. 15, 22, and 29. The class will be held in the Welcome Center at Calvary, but a Zoom option is available for those who would like to join the class online. Each attendee will receive a copy of the KNOW JESUS curriculum, so please sign up HERE! Please sign up by Tuesday, January 14!
