To Everyone Who Believes

Calvary Chapel Lake of the Ozarks — Mon, 09 Mar 2026 11:28:57 -0500

Paul writes to believers he longs to see, reminding them that gratitude fuels mission and that Gospel eagerness grows in hearts unashamed to trust God’s power rather than their own. Romans 1:8–17 declares that the Gospel reveals God’s saving righteousness for everyone who believes—calling us not only to be saved by faith, but to live boldly by faith in every place God sends us.

The Gift of the Gospel

Calvary Chapel Lake of the Ozarks — Mon, 02 Mar 2026 11:32:08 -0600

In Romans 1:1–7, Paul introduces the gift of the gospel—the good news promised in Scripture, centered on Jesus Christ, proven by His resurrection, and offered by grace to all who believe. This life-changing gift saves us from sin, brings us peace with God, and calls us into an obedient, faith-filled life that belongs wholly to Christ.

The Pursuit

Calvary Chapel Lake of the Ozarks — Thu, 26 Feb 2026 10:20:56 -0600

Our annual discipleship conference is here! Join us for Cal Conference 2026, where we’ll dig deeper, grow together, and pursue Jesus with renewed passion. We’re excited to welcome Guest Pastor Ed Taylor as he leads us in the Word!

The Perspective

Calvary Chapel Lake of the Ozarks — Thu, 26 Feb 2026 09:41:09 -0600

The Passion

Calvary Chapel Lake of the Ozarks — Mon, 23 Feb 2026 09:44:22 -0600

The Past

Calvary Chapel Lake of the Ozarks — Mon, 23 Feb 2026 09:08:25 -0600

Year of Fervence

Calvary Chapel Lake of the Ozarks — Mon, 16 Feb 2026 09:35:22 -0600

The Year of Fervence calls us to live with holy zeal—loving God wholeheartedly, one another deeply, our neighbors tangibly, and the lost boldly, all year long. Rooted in Romans 12:11 and Hebrews 6:11–12, this initiative isn’t about programs but about a people burning bright in every direction with faith, passion, and purpose.

Return to His Promises

Calvary Chapel Lake of the Ozarks — Mon, 09 Feb 2026 09:33:51 -0600

In Malachi’s fiery closing words, God confronts the lie that serving Him is empty and promises to vindicate those who fear Him, gathering them as His treasured possession even when justice isn’t yet visible. The coming Day of the Lord won’t negotiate with rebellion—it will either burn away what’s false or set you free—so the real question is whether your hope is anchored in Jesus and your heart ready for His return.

Return to His Generosity

Calvary Chapel Lake of the Ozarks — Mon, 02 Feb 2026 09:06:19 -0600

In Malachi 3, God calls His people to return to Him through generosity, revealing that giving has always been an act of worship and trust rather than mere obligation. Rooted in grace and fulfilled in Christ, our giving today is a joyful response to God’s generosity, supporting His work, reflecting His heart, and declaring that He alone is our provider.

Return to His Holiness

Calvary Chapel Lake of the Ozarks — Mon, 26 Jan 2026 09:05:50 -0600

Malachi confronts weary, cynical hearts by proclaiming that God’s justice arrives in the person of Jesus—the Messenger of the covenant—who satisfied divine justice at the cross and now refines His people by grace. He is not only the Savior who cleanses, but the coming King who will swiftly judge evil, calling all to repentance so they may know Him as merciful rather than merely just.

Return to His Covenant Faithfulness

Calvary Chapel Lake of the Ozarks — Mon, 19 Jan 2026 09:45:48 -0600

God calls His people to return to covenant faithfulness, reminding them that marriage is a sacred gift meant to reflect His own unwavering love and unity. When we treat covenant relationships lightly—whether through divided worship or unfaithfulness at home—we wound what God treasures and hinder our fellowship with Him.

Return to His Worship

Calvary Chapel Lake of the Ozarks — Mon, 12 Jan 2026 09:04:01 -0600

God confronts His people for offering Him their leftovers instead of their hearts, exposing worship that had become weary, careless, and insincere. Yet even in His rebuke, God extends an invitation of restoration—calling us to return to Him with reverence, joy, and wholehearted worship through Jesus, our faithful High Priest.

Return to His Love

Calvary Chapel Lake of the Ozarks — Mon, 05 Jan 2026 10:40:58 -0600

Malachi opens with God’s assurance of steadfast love to a discouraged Israel, reminding them that His covenant faithfulness has never wavered even when their circumstances created doubt. Before correcting their worship and obedience, God calls them to return to Him by recognizing His electing grace, His blessings, and His unchanging love that anchors true devotion.

Recap Sunday

Calvary Chapel Lake of the Ozarks — Mon, 29 Dec 2025 13:34:17 -0600

As we close out the Year of Following, we look back on how Jesus’ words, life, calling, and example have shaped us to walk more faithfully with Him. As we look ahead, we commit to continue following His lead with renewed hope, purpose, and confidence that He is still at work in and through us.

The Light Has Come

Calvary Chapel Lake of the Ozarks — Mon, 22 Dec 2025 10:32:37 -0600

Christmas isn’t just a story—it’s God Himself stepping into our broken world, bringing light into darkness through the birth of Jesus. This season invites us not only to celebrate, but to believe, follow, and reflect the Light who came to rescue us and make God’s glory visible in our lives.

Faithful in Prayer

Calvary Chapel Lake of the Ozarks — Mon, 15 Dec 2025 09:55:27 -0600

Discover the power of a faithful prayer life, bringing every joy, struggle, and need to God with confidence in His character, not our feelings. Together in community, confessing, supporting, and praying earnestly, we experience God’s healing, freedom, and immeasurable power at work in our everyday lives.

Your Heart Matters

Calvary Chapel Lake of the Ozarks — Mon, 08 Dec 2025 13:09:06 -0600

In James 5, we are reminded that earthly wealth and indulgence rot away, and true treasure is found in a heart anchored on God, lived out in faithful obedience. Like the patient farmer, the enduring prophets, and Job, we are called to wait with hope, persevere through trials, and trust in God’s steadfast compassion and ultimate justice.

Humility of Life

Calvary Chapel Lake of the Ozarks — Mon, 01 Dec 2025 09:55:48 -0600

James reminds that life is fragile and fleeting, urging us to live humbly by aligning our will with God’s rather than boasting arrogantly about the future. True humility transforms how we speak, act, and prioritize, making our lives eternally meaningful when surrendered to God’s purpose.

The War Within

Calvary Chapel Lake of the Ozarks — Mon, 24 Nov 2025 10:13:00 -0600

In James 4:1-10, James is warning us about the dangers of worldliness – if we are causing wars around us, it is due to the war within our hearts. James shows us that if we want a pure heart, we need a new heart –this means we must submit ourselves fully to God.

A Better Wisdom

Calvary Chapel Lake of the Ozarks — Mon, 17 Nov 2025 09:16:19 -0600

In a world overflowing with information but starving for wisdom, James invites us to consider not just what we know, but how we live. True wisdom—the kind that brings peace, integrity, and lasting fruit—comes not from the world, but from above.

Words Reveal the Heart

Calvary Chapel Lake of the Ozarks — Mon, 10 Nov 2025 10:20:26 -0600

Our words are powerful indicators of our spiritual health—what flows from our mouths reveals what’s rooted in our hearts. In James 3:1–12, we’re reminded that Spirit-filled speech is a mark of true maturity, with the potential to heal, encourage, and reflect the grace of Jesus.

Revealing Faith

Calvary Chapel Lake of the Ozarks — Mon, 03 Nov 2025 10:05:10 -0600

True saving faith isn’t just something you say or feel—it’s something you live. James 2:14–26 challenges us to reveal our faith through action, because while faith alone saves, the faith that saves never stands alone.

How We Walk with the Broken

Calvary Chapel Lake of the Ozarks — Mon, 27 Oct 2025 11:33:18 -0500

Faith in Jesus calls us to reject favoritism, honoring all people equally as reflections of God’s grace and mercy. When we show partiality, we contradict the Gospel’s heart, forgetting that true worth is found not in status or appearance, but in our shared identity in Christ.

Walk Off the Set

Calvary Chapel Lake of the Ozarks — Mon, 20 Oct 2025 13:46:06 -0500

James urges believers to slow down, listen well, and align their actions with God's Word, warning that unchecked anger and self-deception hinder true spiritual growth. Genuine faith is not just hearing truth but living it—marked by humility, self-awareness, controlled speech, compassion for the vulnerable, and a commitment to personal holiness.

Wisdom in Everyday Struggles

Calvary Chapel Lake of the Ozarks — Mon, 13 Oct 2025 10:12:10 -0500

God uses trials to mature and strengthen us, while Satan twists struggles into temptations meant to destroy. By adopting a mindset of joyful endurance and gratitude, we can gain wisdom and overcome temptation, focusing on God’s goodness rather than dissatisfaction.

The Love God has for Us

Calvary Chapel Lake of the Ozarks — Mon, 06 Oct 2025 09:00:00 -0500

God’s agape love is selfless and unconditional, calling us to actively love the lost with patience, grace, and humility—reflecting Jesus’ heart and pointing others to salvation.

A Marked Community

Calvary Chapel Lake of the Ozarks — Mon, 29 Sep 2025 08:23:57 -0500

In this message from the Becoming Series, we explore how brotherly affection—deep, intentional love within the faith family—marks a Christ-centered community. Rooted in God’s love, this affection shows itself through hospitality, forgiveness, encouragement, and bearing one another’s burdens, shaping us into a family that loves beyond duty and welcomes with open hearts.

To Be Like God

Calvary Chapel Lake of the Ozarks — Mon, 22 Sep 2025 09:54:15 -0500

Godliness is a Christ-centered way of life combining right belief and behavior, empowered by God’s grace, that shapes perseverance with humility and reverence. Though it may bring persecution, godliness leads to true spiritual gain and prepares us for eternal life.

Remain Faithful

Calvary Chapel Lake of the Ozarks — Mon, 15 Sep 2025 10:33:41 -0500

Steadfastness—endurance and patience under pressure—is an active, Spirit-powered response to trials that God uses to shape us into Christlikeness, proving His presence and refining our faith rather than signaling His absence.

The Dirty "S" Word

Calvary Chapel Lake of the Ozarks — Mon, 08 Sep 2025 10:50:29 -0500

Self-control is not about willpower but about surrendering our desires and habits to Christ, allowing the Holy Spirit to shape our lives. It reflects spiritual maturity, protects our witness, and flows from grace-filled surrender rather than personal striving.

Our Knowledge of God

Calvary Chapel Lake of the Ozarks — Tue, 02 Sep 2025 09:25:19 -0500

True knowledge of God comes not from mere intellect but from a personal, obedient relationship with Christ that transforms our character and equips us to live effectively. We are called to add virtue before knowledge, because a life entangled in sin cannot rightly receive or live out the truths of God, and true growth comes when our understanding of Christ shapes how we live.

The Foundation of Faith

Calvary Chapel Lake of the Ozarks — Tue, 19 Aug 2025 10:49:44 -0500

The foundation of faith begins with recognizing that, through Christ, we have been made partakers of the divine nature and freed from the corruption of sin. True faith—personal trust in Jesus’ death and resurrection—leads to salvation by grace and a transformed life, which we are called to actively grow by supplementing our faith with godly qualities.

New Nature

Calvary Chapel Lake of the Ozarks — Mon, 11 Aug 2025 11:16:40 -0500

Spiritual growth isn't optional—it's the natural outworking of our new nature in Christ, who has already given us everything we need to grow from rebirth to maturity and live a fruitful, God-glorifying life.

Why Have You Forsaken Me?

Calvary Chapel Lake of the Ozarks — Mon, 04 Aug 2025 09:00:00 -0500

In Mark 15–16, we see darkness fall, a curtain tear, and hope rise. This week’s message reminds us that the debt is paid, and access to God is wide open.

They Crucified Him

Calvary Chapel Lake of the Ozarks — Tue, 29 Jul 2025 13:54:55 -0500

Though wrongly condemned, Jesus willingly endured the cross—bearing our shame, fulfilling God’s purpose through injustice, and showing that even in the darkest moments, His sacrificial love brings redemption and hope.

If It Wasn't for Grace

Calvary Chapel Lake of the Ozarks — Mon, 21 Jul 2025 09:00:00 -0500

When we deny truth and defend ourselves with lies, like Peter, it's only the grace of Jesus that keeps us from losing everything—how many second chances will we ignore before it's too late? It's God kindness that leads us to repentance.

The Beginning of the End

Calvary Chapel Lake of the Ozarks — Tue, 15 Jul 2025 08:53:54 -0500

In Mark 14:22–52, Jesus redefines the Passover with Himself at the center, revealing both His coming sacrifice and His disciples’ coming failure—yet even in betrayal, He remains faithful to God's will so that we might walk in step with His Word, Spirit, will, and love.

Prophecy of Jesus

Calvary Chapel Lake of the Ozarks — Wed, 02 Jul 2025 08:04:01 -0500

In Mark 13:1-37, Jesus reveals God's future plan for Israel—not the Church—through prophetic teaching about the coming Tribulation, urging His followers to live expectantly, stay alert, and trust Him even when all their questions aren’t answered.

The Substance of Our Lives

Calvary Chapel Lake of the Ozarks — Mon, 23 Jun 2025 09:00:00 -0500

Jesus calls us to move from outward show to inward substance, teaching that true love for God produces obedience, that He is both David’s Lord and Son, and that God values sacrificial, wholehearted giving over impressive appearances.

Challenge Accepted

Calvary Chapel Lake of the Ozarks — Mon, 16 Jun 2025 11:08:06 -0500

Jesus confronts the religious leaders’ rejection of Him through a parable, exposes their hypocrisy about authority and ownership with a coin, and corrects their denial of resurrection, declaring that God is the God of the living and that they are “quite wrong.”

Temple and Tree

Calvary Chapel Lake of the Ozarks — Mon, 09 Jun 2025 09:39:25 -0500

Jesus’ triumphal entry, the cursing of the fig tree, and the cleansing of the temple expose Israel’s outward show without true fruitfulness or faithfulness, challenging us to examine what in our lives He might overturn or restore if He walked into our churches—or lives—today.

What is Possible?

Calvary Chapel Lake of the Ozarks — Sun, 25 May 2025 14:17:57 -0500

True faith, like that of a child, is humble and dependent—not earned. Jesus challenges self-righteousness and works-based salvation, illustrating through the rich young ruler and the "eye of the needle" metaphor that salvation is impossible through human effort but entirely possible through God’s grace.

Sacrifice and Suffering

Calvary Chapel Lake of the Ozarks — Mon, 19 May 2025 09:00:00 -0500

Kingdom living isn’t about reward but about sacrificial living that reflects Christ’s example, with our lives becoming offerings to God—purified through suffering like salted sacrifices, rooted in love and eternal perspective.

The Least and the Last

Calvary Chapel Lake of the Ozarks — Mon, 12 May 2025 08:47:22 -0500

Jesus, though the greatest, chose to make Himself the least—serving others, welcoming the lowly, and showing that true greatness is marked by humility and sacrifice. Even the smallest act done in faith matters deeply to God, revealing that what counts most is a heart aligned with His, not status or ability.

From Within

Calvary Chapel Lake of the Ozarks — Mon, 05 May 2025 11:14:35 -0500

The Transfiguration revealed Jesus’ divine glory shining from within, not merely reflected, affirming He is not just another prophet like Moses or Elijah but the very Son of God—God in the flesh, who "tabernacled" among us. Later, the disciples’ failure to heal a possessed boy highlighted that spiritual power comes not from rituals or imitation, but from genuine faith and closeness to Christ through prayer.

The Significance of Bread

Calvary Chapel Lake of the Ozarks — Mon, 28 Apr 2025 13:33:22 -0500

Jesus continues revealing the nature of His upside-down kingdom: from feeding the Gentile crowd with abundant compassion, to challenging the pride and unbelief of His disciples, and ultimately teaching that true discipleship means self-denial and humble surrender.

Praise The LORD

Calvary Chapel Lake of the Ozarks — Mon, 27 Jan 2025 09:00:00 -0600

Psalm 150 is a passionate call for all creation to worship and praise YHWH, bringing the Book of Psalms to a powerful conclusion. The psalm reminds us that God’s sanctuary is not confined to a building but is found in His people collectively and individually, with Jesus Himself as the ultimate sanctuary. True worship goes beyond songs or outward expressions; it is a life surrendered in obedience, offering God what is costly and precious. Acceptable worship flows from the heart, transforming how we live and glorify God in every area of life.

God's Heart

Calvary Chapel Lake of the Ozarks — Mon, 20 Jan 2025 09:00:00 -0600

From the divine council to God’s call for justice, Psalm 82 paints a powerful picture of God’s authority over the nations and His heart for the oppressed. Discover how Jesus fulfills God’s promise to judge the earth and bring lasting hope.

It's All In The Journey

Calvary Chapel Lake of the Ozarks — Mon, 13 Jan 2025 17:00:00 -0600

Psalm 13 reveals the heartfelt struggle of navigating life’s challenges and the growth that comes through surrender. David’s repeated cry of “How long?” reflects the emotional, physical, and spiritual battles we all face. When feelings seem overwhelming and the body grows weary, it’s easy to lose perspective. Yet, through faith, David’s heart is transformed—not his circumstances. This message highlights that God values the journey and who we are becoming through the process, even when answers seem out of reach.

Fleeing In Faith

Calvary Chapel Lake of the Ozarks — Mon, 25 Nov 2024 17:00:00 -0600

Joseph never complains within his situation, and he never compromises his character and integrity. Even though he is greatly tempted and tested, he trusts himself to a God who is faithfully working out all His plans in Joseph’s life.

Burnout

Calvary Chapel Lake of the Ozarks — Mon, 18 Nov 2024 17:00:00 -0600

Jewelers wisely display diamonds against black velvet, knowing the dark background highlights the beauty of the gems. Such is this chapter—the sad, sordid story of Judah serves as the dark background which highlights the luster of Joseph’s life.

The Greater Joseph: Jesus

Calvary Chapel Lake of the Ozarks — Mon, 11 Nov 2024 17:00:00 -0600

Joseph is a wonderful picture of Jesus. In the story of Joseph, we find: Insights about Jesus, Prophecies that point to Jesus, Understandings concerning the nature of Jesus. When we look at Joseph, we find Jesus.

A Good Struggle

Calvary Chapel Lake of the Ozarks — Mon, 04 Nov 2024 17:00:00 -0600

From what we have seen in the last few chapters, this was not a collection of amazingly spiritual men. This was actually a severely dysfunctional family. God will use this family, but not because they were such great or spiritual men, but because He chose them by His grace alone.

The Dichotomy Of New Life

Calvary Chapel Lake of the Ozarks — Mon, 28 Oct 2024 17:00:00 -0500

It is good Jacob came to the Promised Land, and he settled there. But he came short of full obedience, because it seems God directed him to return to Bethel.” This lack of full obedience will have huge consequences on Jacob’s life.

With God

Calvary Chapel Lake of the Ozarks — Mon, 21 Oct 2024 17:00:00 -0500

God gave Jacob a new name, and a limp. Jacob would remember his being conquered by God with every step he took for the rest of his life. This was a small price to pay for such a great gift. God wants to develop a godly confidence in Jacob.

Out On Your Own

Calvary Chapel Lake of the Ozarks — Mon, 14 Oct 2024 17:00:00 -0500

God blessed Jacob, but it was not because Jacob was especially good. He was absolutely in process, just as we are. It was because of the promises God made to Jacob and the covenant made to Abraham.

Jacob's Ladder

Calvary Chapel Lake of the Ozarks — Mon, 07 Oct 2024 17:00:00 -0500

The God of Bethel is a God who does concern himself with the things of earth, not a God who shuts himself up in heaven, but God who hath a ladder fixed between heaven and earth” (Spurgeon). And Jesus made it clear that He is that ladder!

Broken Family

Calvary Chapel Lake of the Ozarks — Mon, 30 Sep 2024 17:00:00 -0500

In this tragic story, everyone lost. Each of the main characters – Isaac, Rebekah, Esau, and Jacob – schemed and maneuvered in human wisdom and energy, rejecting God’s word and wisdom. Nevertheless, God still accomplished His purpose. The tragedy was that each of the participants suffered, because they insisted on working against God’s word and wisdom.

A Man Of Wells

Calvary Chapel Lake of the Ozarks — Mon, 23 Sep 2024 17:00:00 -0500

Isaac walked in the same paths of his father Abraham; with similar highs and the lows. Altars and tents marked Abraham’s life, demonstrating a life of worship and trust. Isaac lived that, calling on the name of the LORD, and enjoyed the additional blessings of God’s provision through water and wells.

More Than A Marriage

Calvary Chapel Lake of the Ozarks — Tue, 17 Sep 2024 12:01:06 -0500

This chapter goes beyond history into theology. It gives us a picture of the Heavenly Father getting a bride for His Son. The church is compared to a bride; and during this present age, the Holy Spirit is calling people to trust Christ and be “married to…Him.” The elements involved in the marriage of Isaac and Rebekah are also involved in the marriage of Christ and His church.

Dying Faithful

Calvary Chapel Lake of the Ozarks — Mon, 09 Sep 2024 17:00:00 -0500

Abraham passed from the scene, being one of the most important men of the Bible. By many measures his life was not perfect, but he was a man of faith, who had a real relationship with God, of remarkable obedience, and a true friend of God. Abraham was a great man, but he was only a man. God’s work passed on from one generation to the next. Now, God would carry on the work of the covenant first promised to Abraham through Isaac.

Trusting What Is Promised

Calvary Chapel Lake of the Ozarks — Mon, 29 Jul 2024 17:00:00 -0500

God's Call of Abram

Calvary Chapel Lake of the Ozarks — Mon, 15 Jul 2024 17:00:00 -0500

In Genesis 12 we see God call Abram to crazy faith as he leaves everything familiar and safe to depend on God's promises. This is the same faith and call that God calls has for those who apprentice Jesus.

The Obedience of Faith

Calvary Chapel Lake of the Ozarks — Mon, 08 Jul 2024 17:00:00 -0500

As the old hymn reminds us: “Trust and obey, for there's no other way; To be happy in Jesus, but to trust and obey.” Rebellion carries with it consequences, but God’s desire for our lives is to bring blessings—and that only comes through faith in Him, from which obedience pours out.

One Family Under God

Calvary Chapel Lake of the Ozarks — Mon, 01 Jul 2024 17:00:00 -0500

The tenth chapter of Genesis… stands absolutely alone in ancient literature, without a remote parallel, even among the Greeks, where we find the closest approach to a distribution of peoples in genealogical framework… The Table of Nations remains an astonishing accurate document” (William F. Albright).

Walking In Love

Calvary Chapel Lake of the Ozarks — Mon, 24 Jun 2024 17:00:00 -0500

How do we address sin in others life? Many times the way we address or point it out cause shame and guilt, but love covers all sin. If we choose to walk in love it will leave to redemption from the sin we feel so trapped in.

Promises of God

Calvary Chapel Lake of the Ozarks — Mon, 17 Jun 2024 17:00:00 -0500

Just as God made a covenant with Noah and the sign of the rainbow…we have a covenant with Jesus Christ by His blood. Have you entered into a covenant with Jesus, by His blood?

Leaving It All Behind

Calvary Chapel Lake of the Ozarks — Mon, 10 Jun 2024 17:00:00 -0500

God told Noah when to go into the ark, but he did not tell him when he should come out again. The Lord told Noah when to go in, for it was necessary for him to know that; but he did not tell him when he should come out, for it was unnecessary that he should know that. God always lets his people know what is practically for their good.

The Ark and the Cross

Calvary Chapel Lake of the Ozarks — Mon, 03 Jun 2024 17:00:00 -0500

The promise of the cross is that my old life is dead and gone, I have new life through the Spirit of Christ living in me, by grace through faith, because of His love and sacrifice, I have the righteousness of Christ!

A Blameless Life

Calvary Chapel Lake of the Ozarks — Mon, 27 May 2024 17:00:00 -0500

Just as God provided a way for Noah and his family to be saved in the ark, He also has provided a way for us to be saved through Jesus Christ. And we can walk just as Noah, righteous and blameless…because we are IN CHRIST!

The Life of an Under-Rower

Calvary Chapel Lake of the Ozarks — Sun, 19 May 2024 12:13:54 -0500

Calvary Chapel lake of the Ozarks — Sun, 10 Apr 2022 12:00:00 -0500

Calvary Chapel lake of the Ozarks — Sun, 27 Feb 2022 12:00:00 -0600

We as followers of Jesus live life with a dual citizenship. It matters how we live in respect to human governing authorities; but also it cannot supercede our response to the authority of Jesus in our life. This week, Jesus addresses both.

Matthew 21:23-46 | Responding to Authority

Calvary Chapel lake of the Ozarks — Sun, 13 Feb 2022 12:00:00 -0600

Jesus doesn't want vocal agreement, but life obedience. Some of the greatest sins that keep us from a transformed, fruitful life for Jesus are pride and self-righteousness. But by His grace and mercy, He is always ready for us to respond in trust and obedience.

When our decisions and actions reveal Jesus to a lost, broken world…that is what it really means to believe, to have faith in Jesus—He is our worldview!

Calvary Chapel lake of the Ozarks — Sun, 23 Jan 2022 11:55:18 -0600
