Pressing On

Instead of making New Years Resolutions, we talked about experiencing New Years Revolutions today at Calvary. In a message entitled "Pressing On" we talked about how we can press on into all God has for us in 2011.

Visions of Christmas Songs Pt. 5: "Christmas is the Time to Say I Love You"

Redemptive Perspective: Billy Squier reminds us that Christmas is the time to say I love you since God first said I love you by giving the best Christmas gift ever wrapped in swaddling cloths.

PS: Billy Squier was pretty awesome until he destroyed his career with the ill-advised "Rock Me Tonite" video. Look it up for a sad laugh...

 

Visions of Christmas Songs Pt. 4: Christmas in Hollis

Redemptive Perspective: Whether in the humble town of Bethlehem, Israel or Hollis, Queens; God came from Heaven down to our hood to be with us on Christmas.

 

Visions of Christmas Songs Pt. 3: Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer

Redemptive Perspective: In Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer we learn that we can still retain belief in a higher power even when bad things happen to good people.

Jesus & the Redistribution of Wealth

I don't do politics at church...period. However I do have some opinions particularly when faith and politics collide; as are expressed in this video. This video is raw in production (no edits and done on a web cam), but like the Millennium Falcon, she's got it where it counts!

Visions of Christmas Songs Pt. 2: Zat You Santa Clause?

Redemptive perspective: Louis teaches us in "Zat You Santa Clause?" that Christmas is a season we should live in expectation of a very special guest that will enter our world (of course, I'd recommend that guest be Jesus instead of Santa). PS: Satchmo rules!

Merry Christmas (I Don't Want to Fight Tonight)

So, in the spirit of yesterday's message, I'll be doing a series of posts this week in which I'll attempt to see Christ in some of my personal favorite Christmas songs that at a glance seemingly missed the point. This one: Jesus came to bring peace on Earth and good will toward men, so Joey Ramone has the right spirit by not wanting to fight (PS: The actors' accents are awesome).

 

Do you see what God sees?

This morning at Calvary we concluded our Visions of Christmas series with a message entitled "Do you see what God sees?"

As we examined the vision of Christmas given to Simeon, we unpacked three things that we see when we see Christmas that way God does.

The Gift that Keeps on Giving

In yesterday's message at Calvary, "The Gift that Keeps on Giving," we talked about God's amazing Christmas gift that provides us with continuous grace, power and peace:

Christmas Presence

This morning (after a super-cool Calvary Christmas drama) Nicholas kicked off our "Visions of Christmas" series with a message entitled "Christmas Presence."

He talked about how Christmas isn't about the presents, but the exciting revelation of God's presence, and he discussed the ramifications of having a God that is near to us.
