Join Us this Sunday as we Celebrate. For 142 years, First Calvary has been blessed to serve, worship, and grow alongside the Durham community. ❤️

Thank you, West End and surrounding communities, for being part of our legacy and helping us continue the work of ministry and service. We’re grateful for all God has done—and excited for all He will do.

To God be the glory! 🙌🏾

There are no insignificant roles in the Kingdom of God.

When Jeremiah was trapped in the cistern, Ebed-Melech refused to stay silent. He used his voice, influence, and compassion to help—and he cared enough to make sure Jeremiah was rescued with dignity.

Faith calls us to more than noticing someone’s struggle. It calls us to show up, speak up, and become the help someone needs.

Who might God be calling you to help out of a difficult place?

“Help a Brother Out”
Jeremiah 38:6–13 | October 18, 2026

Jesus raised Lazarus—but He called the community to unbind him.

Our healing comes with a responsibility to help others walk in freedom. Sometimes that means sitting with someone in grief, making room for honest questions, or helping carry what they cannot carry alone.

Who can you help move toward healing this week?

Save these sermon notes and share them with someone who needs encouragement. 🤍

There are no insignificant roles in the Kingdom of God.

Before Moses confronted Pharaoh, Shiphrah and Puah resisted him faithfully. They used their position to protect life, reminding us that God works through ordinary people who stand for what is right.

Our work can become mission. Our compassion can cross community lines. And our faithfulness to God must remain greater than our fear of people.

Protect what God is bringing to life—even when you may never see the future you’re helping create.

Sunday @ Calvary 💚

“You are what you’ve been praying for.” — Pastor Lavarin

Through The Ministry of Midwives, we were challenged to consider how God can use us to answer a prayer. Carry that word into your week—who can you show up for?

Swipe for moments of worship, baptism, and fellowship. 🙌🏾

There’s a seat for you next Sunday at 8:30 AM or 11 AM!
