Calvary St. Cloud

Andy Naselli shares on the supremacy of God in all things.

As Calvary is in a challenging season, facing threats from outside the church, and plenty from within that could be cause for offence. Let us join David in the kind of prayer he offers in Psalm 141, lest we leave a wake of hurt, pain, and sin behind us.

In the three short verses of Psalm 133, David asks the people of God to behold the blessing that comes from dwelling together in unity. May we experience how good and pleasant this can be as our Calvary family!

Sin unconfessed will consume. Confession leads to forgiveness, protection, promises, and praise.

Psalm 46 wonderfully helps us behold the Lord of Hosts, the God of Jacob, who is our Helper amidst all kinds of trouble. Because He is our helper we need not fear, we can trust the power of His Word, we can behold His works, and we can be still before Him!

God is our light, salvation, and our stronghold. Therefore we do not need to be afraid. We can pursue God in His word and prayer. He is a Personal God who will help us in our trials and when enemies attack. God will be with you IN the waiting, so we can wait with patience and steadfastness.

As the fledgling church of Jesus begins to gain ground and grow, just three years into its existence, it faces the departure of its shepherd. The disciples are understandably troubled and afraid. And in a series of conversations, Jesus delivers parting words of comfort, promise, and encouragement.

Whether we are in a season of smooth sailing, or rough waters, we all need the stabilizing effect of ballast in our boats. Psalm 16 provides two different and necessary forms of just such stabilizing material for life’s journey. Come, and see.

The story in Genesis 3 shows us that our lives are filled with choices, and that in them, we are not alone.

In his letter to a people suffering both physical and economic distress, the Apostle Paul writes to his dear friends out of a concern both for their joy and ongoing fruitfulness as a church fellowship. His deeply personal counsel provides how we too may experience the power of joy-saturated fellowship, whatever the circumstances.

In Genesis 2 we find another angle on the creative work of God in the very beginning. And from this perspective of the story, we find out how God will use marriage to make humanity, and his world, complete.

Part of the effect of The Fall of mankind in the very beginning in the Garden of Eden is the distortion of our work. Is there an antidote to what exhausts us in our labor? There is, and it's found right there at the beginning as well. Come, and see.

One of the most foundation design parameters of God’s creation is this simple reality: “male and female he created them.” Simple, but under assault. And it provides the church a missional opportunity to enter in to the difficult balance of truth and love.

The sixth day of creation teaches us the magisterial and life-giving truth that we are made in the image and likeness of God.

The story of Genesis 1 is the beautiful story of God’s sovereign design, purpose, and intention for all of creation—including…you.

In the first two verses of Genesis, we learn that in the beginning, God created; that in our present, this creates confidence; and that in every moment, Christ.

The author of Psalm 78 exhorts the people of God to know, hear, and love the sayings of old and then pass them on to the younger generations that they might find their hope in God. Let us consider how to do the same!

Through Jesus, we are gifted with the gospel-centered mind to humbly obey and look to others interests instead of our own only. Every knee will bow and tongue confess that Jesus is Lord.
