Brothers and Sisters,
Sneak peek for Sunday!
We will be seeing what Paul said to the Ephesians about unity and peace within the Church. Ephesians 4: 1-16 will be our text.

13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ: 14 That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;

What does God use to perfect us in Christ? Come and find out this Sunday at Calvary Baptist Church, Odessa, MO!

In Christ,
Bro Charles

Looking forward to sharing Lord's Supper with my brothers and sisters tomorrow. God bless.

Brothers and Sisters,
I invite all of you who are baptized professing believers to join us this Sunday for observance of the Lord's Supper. However, I feel I must remind all of us to remember Paul's admonition from 1 Corinthians 15 where he says the following:

27 Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord.

28 But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup. 29 For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body. 30 For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep.

31 For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged. 32 But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world

Thus, we must remove any obstacle, sin, or mindset that comes between us and Christ, or is more at home in the KIngdom of Darkness than the Kingdom of LIght. Remember the price that was paid for you to have eternal life.

Come celebrate the Table of the Lord with us this Sunday, May 31, 2026, during morning worship. Hope to see you there!

IN Christ,
Bro Charles

Brothers and Sisters,

Just pondering today. We all know we are spiritually blind before we know Christ. But just how spritually blind are those who reject Jesus?
When someone goes blind they at least have a reference point. IF you have lost your sight but can remember what you can understand with previous sensory input. If you smell a loaf of bread, you can see it in your mind. If you hear a trumpet, you can see it and a musician in your mind. If you feel a box, you trace out its edges and imagine a box.
But what if you are born blind and have no point of reference? We spiritually are all born blind until God reveals Himself to us. We may think we know love, joy, and goodness, but can we really know these things without knowing God. An atheists may argue yes, but if they are still spiritually blind can you even imagine true love, true joy, true peace in the eternal God-given sense, let alone true faith? God's grace is a gift. If you have been born blind and someone gives you a gift of any kind, you can feel it, smell it, and maybe hear it, but you cannot visualize it and thus cannot fully know its truth.
But with God, He gives one sight, wisdom and understanding to really know the truth of the gift of grace and mercy in Jesus Christ when we come to Him in repentance and faith.

In Christ,
Brother Charles
