A Time to Rebuild - HOLINESS
February 7, 2021 • Thomas Andrews
Lead Pastor Tom Andrews preaches the final message in our "A Time to Rebuild" series, on Holiness. As we rebuild in 2021, it is important to find ourselves pursuing holiness - both inwardly and outwardly. "But now you must be holy in everything you do, just as God who chose you is holy. For the Scriptures say, “You must be holy because I am holy.” 1 Peter 1:15-16
A Time to Rebuild - WORSHIP

Pastor Tom Andrews preaches on worship, it is not about us, it is all about Jesus. "With praise and thanks, they sang this song to the Lord: “He is so good! His faithful love for Israel endures forever!” Then all the people gave a great shout, praising the Lord because the foundation of the Lord’s Temple had been laid." Ezra 3:11
A Time to Rebuild - THE ALTAR
January 17, 2021 • Thomas Andrews
The second message of our 'A Time to Rebuild' series. Lead Pastor Tom Andrews preaches on rebuilding our altar. The altar must be first, must be private, and must be maintained. "Even though the people were afraid of the local residents, they rebuilt the altar at its old site. Then they began to sacrifice burnt offerings on the altar to the Lord each morning and evening." Ezra 3:3
A Time to Rebuild - UNITY
January 10, 2021 • Thomas Andrews
We learn about how important it is to have a solid foundation so we can rebuild correctly. Unity is one of the foundational principles a church needs when rebuilding! Pastor Andrews challenged us today, to ask for our hearts to be stirred as we seek unity at Calvary Church. "Then God stirred the hearts of the priests and Levites and the leaders of the tribes of Judah and Benjamin to go to Jerusalem to rebuild the Temple of the Lord." Ezra 1:5
A Time to Rebuild
January 3, 2021 • Thomas Andrews
Lead Pastor Tom Andrews casts the vision for Calvary Church - A Time to Rebuild using Ezra's Blueprint. "In the first year of King Cyrus of Persia, the Lord fulfilled the prophecy he had given through Jeremiah. He stirred the heart of Cyrus to put this proclamation in writing and to send it throughout his kingdom: “This is what King Cyrus of Persia says: “The Lord, the God of heaven, has given me all the kingdoms of the earth. He has appointed me to build him a Temple at Jerusalem, which is in Judah. Any of you who are his people may go to Jerusalem in Judah to rebuild this Temple of the Lord, the God of Israel, who lives in Jerusalem. And may your God be with you!" Ezra 1:1-3
