Calvary Community Church

Calvary Community Church Sunday at 9:00 or 10:30am.
3401 NW Federal Highway
Jensen Beach, FL 34957 Why am I here? No one that I know of. That makes sense. We would love to meet you. P.S.

Consider the philosophical questions that have come down through the ages...
"Who am I? What's my purpose?" And finally,
"If there is a God, how can I get to be in a relationship with Him?"

Surely people have needs that the Church can meet, as well as answers to profound questions. From, finding new friends to do life together... loneliness is a reason people get connected at Church, who want

s to be lonely? The Scriptures (Bible) are so loaded with information on how to find out who we are, why we are here on this earth, and what is our central and unique purpose. Perhaps the most important of all is how to have and be in a meaningful relationship with the Living God. Surely there are many more reasons why people attend church, but I think the biggest reason why people don't come to church is because of the fear of the unknown. We however know a few reasons why you should seriously consider joining us this Sunday. (1) We are easy to find, seriously right on US # 1:

Friday’s Devotion — The Day She Could Finally Look Up

Have you ever had a moment when God lifted something you thought would always be part of your story? Maybe it did not happen all at once. Maybe it came after years of praying. Maybe it came after you had almost stopped believing anything could change. But then Jesus met you there, and for the first time in a long time, you could finally look up.

Today’s Scripture

“He touched her, and instantly she could stand straight. How she praised God!”
— Luke 13:13 NLT

Reflection

We do not know her name. Luke does not tell us her age, her family background, or everything she had walked through. But we do know this: for eighteen years, she had seen the world from a bent-down position. Feet. Dust. Dirt. The ground beneath her. That was her view of life.

She had watched children grow up. She had seen seasons change. She had heard conversations happening above her at a level she could not easily reach. And every day, she woke up in the same condition she had gone to sleep in.

Until the day she walked into a synagogue where Jesus was teaching.

Jesus saw her. Jesus called her over. Jesus spoke freedom over her. Jesus laid His hands on her. And instantly, after eighteen years, she stood up straight.

Can you imagine that moment? For the first time in eighteen years, she could see faces. She could look someone in the eyes. She could lift her head toward heaven.

And what did she do?

She praised God, kaboom!

Immediately. Spontaneously. Unashamedly.

That is what genuine freedom does. It does not need to be forced. It does not need to be coached. When Jesus truly sets someone free, praise begins to rise.

Her story is a picture of what Jesus still does. He still sees the bent and the bound. He still calls people out of shame. He still speaks of freedom before the evidence fully catches up. He still restores people to who they were always meant to be.

And here is something else worth remembering:
Someone else in that room saw her stand up. Someone saw what Jesus had done. Someone saw the woman who had been bent now standing straight. Someone saw her praise God.

Her freedom became a testimony.

And so can yours. Believe me, even yours.

Your story may not look exactly like hers. Your healing may not happen in the same way or on the same timeline. But every place Jesus has met you, strengthened you, restored you, forgiven you, or helped you stand again becomes a witness to His grace.

Someone in your life may still be looking at the ground. Your story of freedom may be exactly what helps them believe they can look up to.

Today’s Life Application | Do This

Take a few minutes today and remember one place where Jesus met you in your own “bent out of shape” season. Write it down if you can. Then ask God to show you one person who may need to hear a small part of that story.

Not a sermon. Not a speech. Just a simple testimony of God’s mercy.

Today’s Question:

Where has Jesus helped me stand again, and who might need to hear that story?

Suggested Prayer:

Lord Jesus, thank You for the ways You have met me in my own bent and broken places. Thank You for seeing me, for calling me, for touching my life, and for helping me stand again.

Father, won't you give me a grateful heart and the courage to share what You have done with someone who needs hope. Let my story point people back to You.

In Jesus’ name, amen.

The Big Idea | Summary

When Jesus sets someone free, their freedom becomes a testimony of His grace.

Thursday Devotion: When Jesus Speaks Freedom, Take the Step

What if the first step toward freedom is not trying harder, but finally naming what has been holding you captive?

We can spend a long time thinking about freedom, praying about freedom, even wanting freedom — while still carrying the same burden day after day.

Listen, when Jesus speaks of freedom, He also invites us to respond.

Freedom is not just something Jesus announces.

It is something He invites us to walk in.

Today’s Scripture:

“Woman, you are loosed from your infirmity.”
— Luke 13:12 NKJV

Reflection:

The word loosed in this passage means released, untied, and set free.

Jesus did not tell this woman to try harder.
He did not tell her to crawl back later.
He did not tell her to fix herself first.

He spoke freedom over her before she could even stand up straight.

The word was true before the evidence changed.

That is how Jesus works. He declares what is real in His kingdom, and then He calls us to respond.

This week, we have been sitting with three important words from Sunday’s message:

Bent.
Bound.
Beloved.

Today is the day to process practically.

Because knowing the truth is not enough. Jesus calls us to respond when He speaks.

So here is the challenge:

Identify one burden you have been carrying that Jesus is calling you to lay down.

Not ten.
Not five.
Just one.

Name it.
Surrender it.
Then take one step of obedience in response.

That step may look different for each of us.

It might be a prayer of honest confession.
It might be reaching out to a trusted friend or pastor.
It might be asking someone to pray with you.
It might be finally letting go of something you have been white-knuckling for years.
It might be making the call, having the conversation, or asking for help.

Whatever that step is, take it today.

Do not say, “Maybe later.”
Do not say, “I have been this way too long.”
Do not say, “Nothing will ever change.”

When Jesus says you are loosed, the thing that has bound you does not get the final word.

He does.

Today’s Life Application | Do This

Name one burden.

Surrender it to Jesus in prayer.

Then take one concrete step of obedience today.

That may be a conversation, a confession, a phone call, a prayer with someone, or simply asking for help.

Today’s Thinking Question:

What is one burden Jesus may be calling me to lay down today?

Suggested Prayer:

Lord Jesus, thank You that You still set people free.

Show me the burden I need to stop carrying. Give me the courage to name it honestly, surrender it fully, and take the next step You are calling me to take.

Help me not just to think about freedom, but to walk in the freedom You provide.

In Jesus’ name, amen.

The Big Idea | Summary:

When Jesus speaks of freedom, He also invites us to take a step of faith.

06/10/2026

Here’s a hard question worth sitting with today:

What if you have carried something for so long that you stopped expecting it to change?

Sometimes the heaviest burdens are not the ones we feel every moment. Sometimes they are the ones we have learned to live around.

Scripture:
“She had been bent double for 18 years and was unable to stand up straight.” — Luke 13:11 NLT

Devotional:
Yesterday, we saw that Jesus notices what has been bending us. But today, we need to be honest about something uncomfortable:

When we carry a burden long enough, we can stop calling it a burden.

We start calling it normal.
The woman in Luke 13 had been bent over for eighteen years.

Eighteen years is a long time. Long enough to stop expecting anything different.

Long enough to adjust your whole life around a limitation.

Long enough to forget what it felt like to stand up straight.

Maybe your “eighteen years” looks different?

Maybe it is grief you have quietly managed for so long that it just feels like part of your personality.

Maybe it's anxiety you have learned to function around.

Maybe it's the shame you carry into every room, every relationship, and every Sunday morning.

Maybe it is a pattern you stopped fighting because it feels like “just the way you are.”

We can learn to manage what Jesus wants to heal.

We can learn to live around what Jesus wants to lift.

We can begin to identify with what Jesus wants to remove.

That's not weakness. It's human.

But it is also not freedom.

The enemy is patient, very patient. He knows that if he can get you to call bo***ge normal long enough, you may stop asking Jesus to break it.

But Jesus sees what's been getting you all bent out of shape.
And He has not forgotten what it feels like for you to stand straight.

Today’s Life Application Challenge:

Ask yourself honestly:
What burden have I carried so long that I have started calling it normal?

Write it down if you are able. Naming it is not the final step, but it is often the first step toward freedom.

Possible prayer
Dear Lord, my precious Father in heaven, show me the places, by the power of the Spirit, where I have adjusted to what You want to heal. Help me stop calling bo***ge normal. Give me the courage to name what has been bending me and faith to believe You can still set me free.
In Jesus’ name, amen.

The Big Idea:
Sometimes the first step toward freedom is admitting that what feels normal was never meant to be your permanent condition.

Tuesday's Devotion — Jesus Sees the Weight You Carry

Have you ever carried something so long that you stopped noticing how heavy it was?

At first, you felt the weight.
You knew it was there.
You prayed about it.
You wanted it to change.

But over time, you learned how to live with it.

Maybe you adjusted your steps.
You smiled through it.
You kept showing up.
You kept moving forward.

But deep down inside, something was still bending and burdening you.

In Luke 13, Jesus meets a woman who had been bent over for eighteen years. Eighteen years is a long time to carry anything. Eighteen years of looking down. Eighteen years of seeing feet instead of faces. Eighteen years of being known by her condition. Eighteen years of living with something she could not straighten out on her own.

Scripture says:

“When Jesus saw her, he called her over and said, ‘Dear woman, you are healed of your sickness!’”
— Luke 13:12 NLT

And so, before Jesus touched this woman, He saw her.

Now that matters.

The people in that synagogue may have grown used to her condition. They may have seen her so often that they stopped really seeing her. She may have become “the bent woman” in the room — noticed, but not truly seen. How painful that must have been.

But Jesus saw her.

He saw more than her posture.
He saw more than her pain.
He saw more than her limitations.

Jesus saw a woman who had been suffering.
Jesus saw a soul that had been bound.
Jesus saw a daughter who was deeply loved by God.

And the same Jesus sees you today.

He sees the burden behind your smile.
He sees the grief you do not always know how to explain.
He sees the private battles no one else knows about.
He sees the places where you have said, “Lord, I cannot fix this on my own.”

And here is the foundational truth for today:

Jesus does not look at what has bent you out of shape with annoyance, impatience, or indifference.

He looks at you with mercy.

Knowing this is where healing can begin.

Many of us want Jesus to fix everything immediately. And sometimes He does. But in this passage, the first thing Luke wants us to notice is not that Jesus healed her. It is that Jesus saw her.

Before anything changed in her body, she was seen by the Savior.

That may be the word someone needs today.

You're not invisible... to God.

Your struggle has not made you a burden to Him.
Your weakness has not pushed Him away.
Your long season has not exhausted His compassion.

Jesus sees you fully, completely, and compassionately.

So today, do not hide from Him.

Bring Him the thing that has been the burden you carry.

Name it honestly.
Hold it before Him.
Stop pretending it is not heavy.
Stop assuming you have to carry it alone.

You may not know yet how Jesus is going to heal, restore, strengthen, or lead you forward. But you can begin here:

Let yourself be seen by Him.

Today’s Life Application | Do This:
Pause today and acknowledge one thing you have been carrying.

Not ten things.
Not everything all at once.
Just one.

Say it plainly to Jesus:

“Lord, this has been getting me bent out of shape.”

Then sit for a moment in this truth:

He sees you.
He loves you.
He's not indifferent toward you.
And He can meet you right where you're at.

Today’s Question:
What burden have I carried so long that I have started calling it normal? (We all have them, mind you).

Suggested Prayer:
Lord Jesus, thank You for seeing me. Thank You that I am not invisible to You. You see the burdens I carry, the battles I face, and the places where I cannot straighten myself on my own.

Help me to stop hiding from You. Help me to be honest about what has been bending me. Meet me with Your mercy, call me closer, and begin Your restoring work in my life.

In Jesus’ name, amen.

The Big Idea | Summary:
Before Jesus heals what is broken, He sees who is hurting.
