Calvary Independent Baptist Church
Calvary Independent Baptist Church wants to thank everyone who attended services this past week. Sunday morning services included a message from Psalms 119:41-48 on “There are Ways to Know When we are Fully Trusting God.”
We looked at how we can know that we are fully trusting God, when we are patiently waiting, personally walking, purposely witnessing, and progressively worshiping. We hope that you can examine yourself and see these in your personal Christian life in order to know if you are believing and trusting in God.
Sunday night services included a message from Exodus 13:17-22 on Jesus Christ is the way, the truth, and the life. We looked at how Jesus is the way when we are facing danger, despair, death, and doom.
When we can keep our eyes on Jesus rather than our circumstances we will always see that he is the way for us to make it through anything that life throws our way. When we look at ourselves, we are weak but we can do all things through Christ that strengthens us. In our weakness is he made strong!
