This Sunday, Pastor Paul shared a powerful message on Believing vs. Trusting God. While many people believe in God, true faith is demonstrated when we trust Him through every circumstance—good or bad.
Using the story of Gideon (Judges 6–8), Pastor Paul reminded us that God often calls ordinary people to do extraordinary things. Gideon moved from fear and doubt to complete trust in God, learning that God's strength is greater than our limitations.

We don't have to understand everything God is doing; we simply need to trust Him. When we surrender our fears, remove the things that distract us from God, and rely on His strength instead of our own, we can walk in peace no matter what happens.

Last Sunday at Calvary Worship Center we continued our “Formed • Filled • Sent” journey, and Holy Spirit met us in such a powerful way.

Pastor Joel reminded us that **Jesus doesn’t send us out in pressure, but in peace.** In John 20, the risen Jesus enters a locked room full of terrified disciples and does three things:

He speaks peace – “Peace be with you.”
He reveals Himself– showing His hands and His side.
He sends from peace– “As the Father has sent Me, I also send you.”

That’s our pattern. We are:
- Received in peace.
- Formed by revelation of Jesus.
- Sent from the security of being already loved and accepted, not to earn God’s approval but because, in Christ, we already have it.

We were reminded:
- Grace isn’t opposed to effort, it’s opposed to earning.
- We are ambassadors, not performers.
- Many of us have carried calling like a burden of pressure—comparison, anxiety, striving—but Jesus is correcting what we’ve been carrying, not our calling.
- Every place in our lives that feels hopeless is a place where a lie has taken root.

From there, Holy Spirit began to move deeply. As people responded to the call to surrender control, lay down performance, and be filled again, we experienced a powerful outpouring of God’s presence:

Many were healed—physically, emotionally, spiritually.
Many released the pressures of striving and received a fresh touch of peace and identity in Christ.
The atmosphere was marked by freedom, tears, joy, and deep rest in God’s love.

Around the Lord’s table, we remembered that:
- We don’t leave communion trying to earn something.
- We leave established in all Christ has finished—new, cleansed, and sent.

We closed with a strong commissioning:
You are formed by Christ, filled with His Spirit, and sent in His name—not in anxiety, but in shalom, shalom, the perfect peace of God.

If you missed Sunday, you can still respond right where you are:
- Release the need to prove yourself.
- Lay down the pressure to perform.
- Receive again what Christ has already finished for you.

May you go this week not in pressure, but in peace, carrying the life of Jesus into every room you enter.

Feel free to share a testimony in the comments if God touched you Sunday—we’d love to celebrate with you!

Pentecost Sunday reminded us that we are empowered to witness.
Pastor Joel shared how Pentecost fulfilled what happened at Sinai—where God once wrote His law on tablets of stone, He now writes it on our hearts by His Spirit. The same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead now dwells in believers—on the bad days, in the hospital rooms, in the hard meetings. Resurrection power is not something we chase; it’s Someone who lives in us.
He reminded us that:
The church was never meant to survive on hustle, striving, charisma, or production value. The mission of Jesus requires the life of Jesus, carried by the Holy Spirit.
Jesus told the disciples to wait until they were “clothed with power from on high.” A supernatural calling can’t be carried on natural strength. God clothes us with what we don’t possess naturally.
We are a royal priesthood (1 Peter 2:9). The presence of God is not meant to ride on “better carts” (systems, programs, machinery), but on the priesthood—on ordinary believers who carry His presence.
The Holy Spirit empowers witnesses, not celebrities. He doesn’t come to make us impressive, but to make Jesus visible through our lives.
Pastor Joel also challenged the lie that says, “I’m not enough to be used by God.” The same pride that says “look at me” is the pride that says “God can’t use me.” Our identity is not rooted in our performance or our past, but in Christ Himself.
We ended by asking Holy Spirit to:
Awaken us from apathy and striving
Fill weary hearts again
Bend and shape us, like in the Welsh revival cry: “Lord, bend us, break us—we are Yours.”
As you go into this week, remember Pastor Joel’s declaration over us:
You are not powerless.�You are not abandoned.�You are not carrying this mission alone.�The same Spirit that raised Christ from the dead dwells in you—�and where you place your feet, the kingdom of God steps into the room.

🇺🇸 Happy Memorial Day from Your Calvary Worship Center Family 🇺🇸

Today, we honor and remember the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for our nation. Their courage, selflessness, and devotion to protecting our freedoms will never be forgotten.
As we spend time with family and friends, may we reflect with gratitude on the blessings we enjoy because of those who gave their lives in service to our country. We also remember and pray for the families of our fallen heroes.

"Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends." — John 15:13

Please note that due to the Memorial Day holiday, there will be no Corporate Prayer service this evening.

From all of us at Calvary Worship Center, we wish you a blessed and meaningful Memorial Day. ❤️🤍💙

This week we began a new sermon series called “Commissioned.” Pastor Joel shared how Jesus doesn’t start with doing—He starts with forming. Before He sends us on mission, He settles our identity in Him.

Looking at the Great Commission in Matthew 28 and Jesus’ first post-resurrection appearance in John 20, we saw that:

- Jesus has been given all authority in heaven and on earth—and He sends us out from that authority, not from our own strength.
- Mission becomes exhausting when our identity is unclear, but it becomes overflow when we know who we are in Christ.
- Before Jesus gave any assignment, He stepped into a locked room of fearful disciples and brought peace, revelation of Himself, joy, and then the Holy Spirit. Peace and presence came before the commission.

Pastor Joel reminded us that in Christ we are:
- New creations– not improved versions of our old selves, but made new (2 Cor. 5:17; Rom. 6:4)
- United with Christ– one spirit with Him (1 Cor. 6:17)
- Righteous in Him– our standing before God is settled by Jesus’ finished work (2 Cor. 5:21)
- Sons and daughters– adopted, not projects God is trying to fix (Rom. 8:15; Gal. 4:7)
- Ambassadors– we represent His kingdom wherever we go (2 Cor. 5:20)
- Indwelt by the Holy Spirit– the same Spirit who raised Jesus lives in us (1 Cor. 6:19)

We ended by responding to the Lord in prayer—releasing striving, pressure, and the need to “prove ourselves,” and receiving His peace and rest. Jesus is still stepping into our “locked rooms” and speaking, “Peace be with you.”

Join us next Sunday as we continue “Commissioned” and keep exploring what it looks like to live on mission from a secure identity in Christ.
