surprising wisdom

discovered

we

were

on.

Revelation 3:20: Listen! I am standing at the door, knocking; if you hear my voice and open the door, I wil come in and eat with you, and you with me.


James 5:9: Brothers and sisters, do not grumble against one another, so that you may not be judged. See, the Judge is standing at the doors!



Matthew 24:33: So also, when you see all these things, you know that he is near, at the very gates.


Luke 12:35-40: Be dressed for action and have your lamps lit; be like those who are waiting for their master to return from the wedding banquet, so that they may open the door for him as soon as he comes and knocks. Blessed are those slaves whom the master finds alert when he comes; truly I tell you, he will fasten his belt and have them sit down and eat, and he will come and serve them. If he comes during the middle of the night or near dawn and finds them so, blessed are those slaves. But know this: if the owner of the house had known at what hour the theif was coming, he would not have let his house be broken into. You also must be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.


John 10:3-4: The gatekeeper opens the gate for him, and the sheep hear his voice. He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. When he has brought out all his own, he goes ahead of them, and the sheep follow him because they know his voice.


John 14:23: Those who love me will keep my word, and my Father will love them, and we will come to them and make our home with them.

Many of us feel things are falling apart-either in our personal, professional, or public life. How can suffering invite us toward deeper freedom, integrity, and trust in God? How can our helplessness transform us into the people God has created us to be?

We live in a world full of shallow wells, creating a thirsty, isolated world. There’s a lot of anxiety in the world, in the church, because we turn to those shallow wells and are never satisfied. Jesus offers the Woman at the Well living water. What would it take for us to leave our water jars by our wells so we can ha

Salvation is not an exit plan! It's God’s deep commitment to redeeming what the world has learned to call normal. God does not abandon the world’s brokenness but enters it to make it whole.

Join us for Bible Study

The Women of Calvary Bible Study

3rd Thursdays of the month • zoom • 6 - 7:15pm

The Women of Calvary Bible Study meets via Zoom on the third Thursday of the month from 6 pm - 7:15 pm starting on September 18, 2025.
This year's study is Finding Resilience, Joy, and Our Identity in Jesus Christ by Rhashell D. Hunter. In this Bible study, we will explore resilience. This is modeled for us by several biblical characters, gospel and epistle writers, as well as Jesus. The Bible study is also about joy. How do we find joy in a chaotic world? Christian joy may be different from how a lot of people define joy. We will also seek to rediscover our identity.
Please join us for this study whether you're new to Bible Study or have participated in this study for years. Books are $10, scholarships available!

Our weekly worship services feature our 40-voice Chancel Choir, our 6,155 pipe organ and Bösendorfer Imperial grand piano, professional soloists and other fine guest musicians, children and youth, handbells, and a range of exceptional music you likely won’t encounter in many other places of worship.
