Winners and losers... how can you tell the difference?
There are different opinions on what makes a man a winner in life all depending on who you listen to. Do we follow the world's opinion or what God tells us in the Bible? Just like anything, it is a choice we make. Today we want to look at why following God's agenda just might be the better choice. But we will let you decide.

Worship of God is important and it is especially good to worship together. We are studying the Beatitudes in the sermon on the mount. These are attitudes which God helps us develop that in turn make us the kind of people He created us to be.
Today we are on part 5 of our series in the Sermon on the Mount dealing with attitudes. Here Jesus challenges us to be merciful. Doing mercy is directly related to how we understand God’s mercy to us.

Worship of God is important and it is especially good to worship together.
We are studying the Beatitudes in the sermon on the mount. These are attitudes which God helps us develop that in turn make us the kind of people He created us to be. Today we are on #3 - "Blessed are the MEEK for they will inherit the earth".
What comes to mind when you hear the word meek?
Is that what Jesus is talking about?

"Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted."
Last week we looked at being poor in spirit as a recognition that on our own we are helpless and our only hope and strength is God. Today we are looking at mourning in a way differently that you might expect.
A mournful attitude all the time? You'll see what we mean.

Today we are beginning a new series: "Positive Attitudes in a Negative World"
What determines your attitude every day? Is it people, circumstances, or the demands on your time?
For the next 6 weeks we will be looking at key attitudes that Jesus gives us as we seek to follow His leading day by day.

Welcome to Calvary Church which happens to meet at 15th and Pine in Hastings. The church is not a building but the people of God gathered together, whether it be on Sunday or any other day of the week.
Today we wrapped up our series on Prayer. In John 15, Jesus prays for his followers, specifically that they would be fruitful in all they do. What does that mean to you? How can you arrange your life so that in the end you will look back and say it was fruitful?

Our mission: To Live by Faith, To be Known by Love, and To be a Voice of Hope.
Today we are continuing our focus on prayer. We have taken apart and reassembled what we call The Lord's Prayer to see how Jesus instructed us to pray. We have honed in on Jesus' prayer in the garden looking at what was on his heart as he talked with the Father. Last week Pastor Gordon spoke on prayer from yet another perspective.
This past week we finished our 21 Days of Prayer. Today and next week we will look into more scriptures on prayer. Through it all, let's not just talk more and learn more about prayer, but let's just pray more, more often, more honestly, and more broadly.

What did Jesus pray?
Last week we looked at how Jesus said we should pray in what we call The Lord's Prayer.
Today we are looking at what Jesus did pray when he was in the garden prior to his arrest.
We will see what was on his heart knowing all that was about to happen.
