Calvary MD: Recent Episodes
Calvary MD
In this message, Pastor Benny teaches how following Jesus means leaving the old life behind. We’re called to put off the old self, be renewed in our minds by the Holy Spirit, and put on the new nature created to be like God. Paul reminds us to speak truth, forgive freely, and live in kindness, generosity, and purity as people made new in Christ.

- Proverbs 9:10

Paul shifts from doctrine to daily living: walk worthy by guarding Spirit-given unity. Unity isn’t uniformity—it’s humility, gentleness, patience, and love in action. We’re one body with one Spirit, hope, Lord, faith, baptism, and Father. Jesus gives leaders (apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, teachers) to equip the saints so every part serves. The goal? Maturity—no longer tossed by trends, but “speaking the truth in love” as each part does its work.

In Ephesians 2:11–22, Paul reminds us that we were once far from God, without hope, but through Jesus we’ve been brought near by His blood.

In the final message of our ‘7 Dimensions’ series, we look at the joy of generosity. Part of being a disciple of Jesus Christ means we surrender everything to Him, including the area of money & finance. What we do with money reveals what has our heart (Matthew 6:21) and our priorities. God owns it all, and He simply asks us to return to Him the first 10%. Our view of ownership (who owns it) will dictate our level of discipleship. During this message we dive into laws, principles, and patterns that God has put in motion in the area of generosity. 1. The law of sowing and reaping.2. The principle of first fruits.3. The principe of tithing. 3. The pattern of generosity. 2 Corinthians 9:6Proverbs 3:9Malachi 3:6-10Luke 11:42Proverbs 11:24-25

A servant is need-sensitive.
Volunteering makes me feel superior.
Serving makes me feel humble.

Pastor Benny concludes our Dear Church series. Laodicea was known for its lukewarm water. Jesus said He preferred they were either hot or cold, but because they were lukewarm, he would spit them out of His mouth. But He gave them a path to restoration. If they'll open the door and let Jesus in, He said He would come and dine with them - meaning that their relationship would be one of closeness and intimacy Revelation 3:14-22

In Luke 15, Jesus told 3 parables highlighting the joy when the lost become found.
The lost sheep, the lost coin, and the lost son.
The shepherd went after the lost sheep, and the widow went after the lost coin.
The difference in the third parable is that the father didn’t go after the lost son.
He knew the son had a free will and had made up his mind.
But the father never stopped waiting & watching for the lost son.
He was always waiting for the moment when the son would ‘come to his senses’ and return home.
When lost sons & daughters hit rock bottom and choose to come back home, we want to respond like the loving father, not the older brother.

Later on Resurrection Day, Jesus came upon two of His followers who were traveling from Jerusalem to Emmaus.
They were sad & hopeless - even telling Jesus (they didn’t recognize Him) about the events and how they had hoped Jesus was the Messiah, but it appears He was just another prophet who died.
While on the walk, Jesus showed them in the scriptures how the Messiah would have to suffer such things.
He showed Himself as the fulfillment of the scriptures & prophecies.

Jesus had a way of calling people to make a decision. Zacchaeus just wanted to stay out of the game and on the sidelines up in a tree. That is, until He met Jesus. Serving came with a cost, but he determined it was worth it.

You can critique
-
You can root without responsibility

They said it was unlawful to heal on the Sabbath. Jesus, who knew their law better than they did, showed that it is always okay to do good on the Sabbath.
Jesus healed a man with a withered hand with just a command.
Because Jesus embarrassed & humiliated the religious leaders, it would be a point of no return for Him.

For centuries, the Jews had been burdened with the heavy yoke of man-made rules that were impossible to keep.

Then He told us that He is Lord of the Sabbath.

In Luke 15, Jesus told the parable of the lost sheep, the lost coin, and the lost son (aka the prodigal son)
The Lost Sheep knows it lost, but doesn’t know how to find home.
The Lost Coin doesn’t know it’s lost.
The Lost Son knows it’s lost, but doesn’t want to be found.
It often takes a crisis for the prodigal to come to their senses and come home.
When they do come home, we want to have the heart of the loving father who welcomes them with open arms.

We won't accidentally see people come to Jesus.
It takes intentionality.
In Luke 15, Jesus told the parable of the lost sheep.
The shepherd goes after the missing because each individual has high value.

A leper came to Jesus and needing healing.
Jesus touched Him with His love and His healing power.
A centurion officer came to Jesus, recognizing Jesus’ authority.
Jesus, responding to his faith, healing the man’s servant with just a word.

Are you tired, stressed, worn out, or worried?
“Jesus said, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy to bear, and the burden I give you is light.””

Not every one who claims Jesus will enter Heaven.
Only those who do the will of the Father.
The wise person will build their house on the Solid Rock (these teachings of Jesus).
From the outside most houses look the same. You can’t tell the condition of the foundation until there’s a storm.
When your life is built on Jesus, when the storms come (and they will), your house will stand firm.

Jesus told us to ‘watch out’ for false prophets.
They’ll come in sheep’s clothing.

Jesus obliterates the narrative that all roads lead to Heaven.
The road to life is found through the narrow gate.
Most people choose the wide gate, but it leads to a path of destruction.
The Door is Open
The Door Won’t Always be Open, but
The Door is Open to All.

Prayer isn’t about getting what I want, it’s about getting what God wants.
In The Sermon on the Mount, Jesus calls us higher, but it’s unattainable on our own.
So Jesus gave this tip: Ask, Seek, Knock.
He called us to a persistent prayer life.
An earthly parent is generous to their children when they ask, how much more our Heavenly Father is generous to His kids.
Since He has been good to us, we are now called to treat others the way we want to be treated. The Golden Rule

King Nebuchadnezzar thought he had reached unprecedented heights because of himself.
He lived by the Babylon Mentality that says: ‘life is all about me.’

Moving from Self-Sufficient to God-Dependent
-
Walking in Humility

Is all anger a sin? The answer is “no.” However, the problem arises when we allow the seeds of anger to take root in our hearts. It leads us to sinful thoughts, words, and actions that ultimately affects our relationships and worship. Even if we don’t physically harm someone, Jesus says that being angry with someone is the path that leads to murder, even if it’s only in our heart.
We are called to forgive, release, and take care of things quickly so they don’t grow, no matter what type of sin.

The Reality of Hell (7.18.21)
For those who follow Jesus, this world is as bad as it gets; it only gets better.
For those who don’t follow Jesus, this world is as good as it gets; it only gets worse.
In Luke 16, Jesus ends the debate on the existence of Hell. It is a very real place where there is eternal torment, no rest, and no hope.
God never intended Hell to be for people. It was originally created for Satan and his demons.
However, if you choose to not follow Jesus, you choose eternal separation from God in Hell.
If you choose to follow Jesus, He is preparing a place for you in Heaven.

In a hopeless world, the only trustworthy place to put your hope in is Jesus Christ.
After His resurrection, Jesus met two of His followers who were walking away from Jerusalem to Emmaus.
Their hope was dead because they thought their Savior was dead.

As they encountered Him, their hearts were rekindled with a burning, spiritual passion.
