I am the pastor of the most amazing church! Certainly things have changed over the last three years, but one thing has remained constant: Calvary Baptist Church is the most loving and grace-filled churches God ever created! I love the fact that this has not changed because it is what makes a difference in people’s lives. God’s grace is powerful and available. It is undeserved, yet free, but not cheap. God’s grace is what encourages us to get up on those days that seem to have more problems than answers. It is what will change the world in the future and what transforms us today. God’s grace is simply amazing.

But what has been the biggest change at Calvary in the last year?

We have purchased a piece of property on the corner of Parris Bridge Road and Flatwood Road. This location will enable us to glorify God through reaching new families with His incredible grace. It is our future. In 50 more years the family members of Calvary Church will talk about the decisions we’ve made today. It is nothing short of phenomenal to think about what God has in store for the future. What we are doing today has eternal consequences. We are choosing to spend the money God has provided for us today so that it will have an impact in people’s lives that will last for eternity. We are choosing today to send our riches on ahead and not keep them here with us today hoarding them for ourselves. This follows what Jesus said,

“Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth…but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven…For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” (Matthew 6:19-21 ESV)

This is the most important activity we can be involved in with the money God has graciously given us. I believe we are on the edge of seeing God move in wonderful ways. God not only asks for obedience, He expects it! If we refuse obedience then we forfeit His blessing, and we don’t want to give up the blessing of God.

Grace & Peace, Scott
