In Revelation 2 and 3, there is a description of the seven churches and what the Spirit is saying to those who have “ears to hear.” Have you ever wondered what the Spirit is saying to the churches in 2020? Well, I have, and I’ve asked that very question. The Holy Spirit showed me a mental picture of a Tower. Not just any tower … it was the Tower of Babel … and these words followed: In the churches Towers of Babel have been erected within hearts in order to reach God......

From Pastor Steve’s Study: Pastorally, my number one desire is your well-being, safety and continued intimate walk with Jesus. Keeping that in mind, I have conferred with other pastors and with some of our church leaders and I am continuing to earnestly seek the Lord. We acknowledge, there is a spike in COVID.

Pastor’s Mid-week Update Written blast today, Thursday—-video blast tomorrow, Friday “Walk worthy of the calling with which you were called, with all lowliness and gentleness, bearing with one another in love, endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.” Eph. 4:1-3 Let me bare my soul.

Good Morning Calvary, No link today, but a message from our pastor: There will be no video today but I do want to address something that has come to my attention. It is a challenging and even confusing time in which we live. Often, we do not know what or who to believe with the messages and signals that we receive from the media. Medical professionals give us conflicting information as well. Some say we need to wear masks in public and it is the only way to protect ourselves. Others say......

From Pastor Steve’s Study: God’s glory was witnessed by a number of people when Jesus raised Lazarus from the dead. Often God’s glory is made visible in the midst of those who know each other well. Jesus knew Lazarus, Mary, and Martha personally, and He loved them very much. He invested time with them in their home on several occasions. They enjoyed being together. One of the best ways to get to know your CCV Family is in becoming a part of a Community Group. But we don’t have to wait until......
