Episodes
- Romans 1:1-7
The book of Romans was written by the Apostle Paul around A.D. 57 to the church in Rome, a diverse group of Jewish and Gentile believers navigating tensions surrounding identity, grace, and the Gospel. Though Paul had not yet visited them,…
- Mother's Day - Exodus 20:12, Proverbs 1:8-9, John 19:25-27
This episode discusses the biblical commandment to honor parents, referencing Exodus 20:12, Proverbs 1:8-9, and John 19:25-27. It explores the deeper meaning of honoring one's mother beyond simple agreement or closeness, focusing on a tran…
- Forgive - Matthew 5:23-24, Luke 15:17-21, 2 Corinthians 5:18-20
Most of us don’t struggle to see where others are wrong. We struggle to see where we are wrong. We replay what they said. We justify what we did. We explain our tone, our reaction, our words. And even when we apologize, we soften it: “I’m…
- Who do you need to forgive? - Matthew 6:7-15, Luke 23:34
Jesus' forgiveness fuels our forgiveness, and this forgiveness is a giving up of yourself, but what you will find is not death but abundant life and freedom.
- Forgiveness: How Do I? - Luke 7:36-50
Jesus wants us to live an abundant life, and we can’t do that unless we practice forgiveness. Throw off your anger, and throw off your pride. Truly see Jesus, yourself, and the offender, and realize how much you need the forgiveness of Jes…
- Forgive - Matthew 18:21-35, Romans 12:17-21, Colossians 3:12-13
Forgiveness is something we all talk about but often misunderstand. We know what it feels like to be hurt, to be wronged, or to carry the weight of something someone has done to us. Some of us minimize it, others replay it, and many of us…
- The Day Death Died - Matthew 28:1-10, 1 Corinthians 15:50-58, Luke 24:44-49
From the very beginning, God created the world as it ought to be, a place of goodness, life, and perfect relationship with Him, as we see in Genesis. But the world we experience now is not that world. Sin has broken everything, and we feel…
- Good Friday
- The Gospel of Hosea - Hosea 13-14
As we close our series in Hosea, we see that to dwell with the Lord means that we must live His way. There are consequences for sin, but the Messiah has come to do something about it.
- The Gospel According to Hosea - Hosea 11-12
There is a kind of heartbreak that only comes from loving someone who keeps walking away from what is good for them. You remember how you cared for them, how you helped them, how you protected them, and yet they keep choosing their own way…
- The Gospel According to Hosea - Hosea 10
Israel trusted in their king to bring them safety, prosperity, and guidance; things that can only be found in God. What we see from Hosea 10 is that God longs for the heart of his people, not just a verbal acknowledgement. The Lord desires…
- The Gospel According to Hosea - Hosea 9
Most people assume God's judgment is sudden and dramatic. Lightning bolts. Fire from heaven. Instant consequences. But Hosea shows something far more sobering. Most of the time judgment looks slow. It looks like joy fading. It looks like w…
- Hosea 8
Hosea 8 shows that Israel is heading for destruction BECAUSE they have violated God's covenant and Mosaic law. We too have broken God's covenant, rejected the good, set up our security in our lives without God, and made idols that have des…
- The Avalanche of Sin - Hosea 7
Hosea 7 is a sorrowful indictment of Israel. The Lord describes the charges against Israel, the evidence of these charges, and His verdict: judgment is coming. But the tone is indeed sorrowful, like that of a longsuffering and loving Fathe…
- Relentless Love: The Gospel According to Hosea - Hosea 6
When have you heard an apology that sounded good, but nothing actually changed? In Hosea 5, God withdrew His felt presence to awaken Israel’s repentance. Israel finally responds. They say the right words, speak of returning, and even menti…
- Relentless Love: The Gospel According to Hosea - Hosea 5
There comes a point in every relationship when warnings stop working. The conversations have been had. The concerns have been voiced. The consequences have been explained. And yet nothing changes. At some point, the tone shifts, not becaus…
- Relentless Love: The Gospel According to Hosea - Hosea 4
In Hosea 4 God speaks again as a covenant prosecutor. Charges are filed. Evidence is presented. Consequences are named. The charge is simple: There is no knowledge of God in the land. Not no religion, not no worship, but no knowledge. This…
- Relentless Love: The Gospel According to Hosea - Hosea 3:1-5
There are those that quit when trust is broken. There are those that withdraw when shame enters the room. Then there is God’s covenant love. The kind of love that moves toward betrayal, not away from it. Hosea 3 is not sentimental. It is s…
- Relentless Love: The Gospel According to Hosea - Hosea 2:14-23
Hosea 2 opens with a courtroom. It ends with a wedding vow. The same God who confronted betrayal now speaks tenderly. The Judge becomes the Bridegroom again. This is not emotional inconsistency. It is covenant faithfulness. God does not wa…
- Relentless Love: The Gospel According to Hosea - Hosea 2:1-13
Some conflicts cannot be resolved with silence. When love is betrayed repeatedly, when warnings are ignored, relationship requires confrontation. Hosea 2 is not a temper tantrum from God; it is a lawsuit. God does not abandon His people qu…
- Relentless Love: The Gospel According to Hosea - Hosea 1
The book of Hosea opens with a marriage that God ordains as a living sermon. Hosea does not merely preach the Word of the Lord; he is commanded to live it, embody it, and suffer it. The book was written during one of the most deceptively p…
- "Home" Inspections as we enter 2026! - Luke 6:46-49
This episode from Calvary Bible Church-NH discusses the meaning of inspecting and building homes on the Rock as 2025 concludes and 2026 begins, drawing parallels with Luke 6:46-49.
- Christmas Eve Candlelight Service
- Immanuel: God With Us - Isaiah 7:10-14, Matthew 28:16-20
There are seasons when God’s call feels bigger than our strength. Moments when obedience feels costly, courage feels thin, and the future feels uncertain. We know what God is asking but we’re not sure we have what it takes. The promise of…
- Immanuel: God With Us - Luke 2:1-20
Christmas reminds us that God does not wait for perfect conditions. He steps into real life, into conflict, chaos, and confusion. The birth of Jesus is God invading our broken world with His redeeming presence. And when Christ is present,…
- Immanuel: God With Us - Matthew 1:18-25
Loneliness isn’t just about being alone, it’s about being disconnected from the One who is always present. Matthew’s Gospel opens up with a declaration that changed human history: “Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and they…
- Kingdom Initiatives - Acts 28
As we conclude our study in the book of Acts, we study Paul's trip to Rome, and how the Kingdom of God is expanding. No matter what happens in our lives, the gospel will go where God wants it to go. Jesus is alive, and the gospel is going.…
- Kingdom Initiatives - Acts 27
In Acts 27, we learn about Paul's ill-fated journey to Rome. We'll see what happens when Godly advice is ignored, how to persevere in light of a promise, and we'll learn a very important lesson: just because God has put a desire or calling…
- Kingdom Initiatives - Acts 22-26
As we start to wrap up our study in the book of Acts, we focus on chapters 22-26, where Paul shares his testimony multiple times as he's brought before various people. In the final analysis, we'll see Paul's eternal perspective, how he exp…
- Missions Conference 2025 - Be a World Changer

- Kingdom Initiatives - Acts 21
In Acts 21 Paul is warned by everyone who loves him: “Don’t go to Jerusalem.” The Spirit reveals the danger ahead as his friends plead in tears, but Paul keeps walking towards the danger because the Holy Spirit is leading him there. Someti…
- Kingdom Initiatives - Acts 20
When Paul said goodbye to the Ephesian elders in Acts 20, he was at a turning point. He had faced riots, rejection, and relentless trials. Yet he kept going. He believed the mission of Christ was worth ever tear, every danger, and every mi…
- Kingdom Initiatives - Acts 19
The city of Ephesus was one of the crown jewels of the Roman Empire; rich, religious, and restless. It was home to the temple of Artemis, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, and a center for magic, trade, and spiritual darkness.…
- Kingdom Initiatives - Acts 18
The Kingdom of God doesn’t advance through impressive strategies or personalities. It grows through humble, steady faithfulness. Acts 18 gives us a portrait of God’s servants staying faithful through weakness, transitions, and relationship…
- Kingdom Initiatives - Acts 17
We live in a pluralistic world where truth is debated, relativized, or rejected. Acts 17 gives us an account on how Paul proclaimed Christ in different contexts: hostile Jews, receptive Bereans, and skeptical philosophers. Through it all,…
- Kingdom Initiatives - Acts 16
Acts 16 presents a masterclass in gospel ministry through three distinct encounters that reveal how effective evangelism requires both wisdom and courage. Paul’s ministry in this chapter demonstrates the art of adapting methods while maint…
- Kingdom Initiatives - Acts 15
We live in a world that constantly adds fine print. What seems simple a phone contract, a warranty, even a meal plan ends up buried under terms and conditions. The early church faced a similar crisis: was faith in Jesus enough, or was ther…
- Kingdom Initiatives - Acts 14
Acts 14 gives us the reality of gospel ministry. It’s messy, dangerous, and costly. Yet it’s precisely through this suffering love that God’s kingdom advances. Luke structures this chapter around Paul and Barnabas’s first missionary journe…
- Kingdom Initiatives - Acts 13:1-52
In Acts 13, we reach a turning point: the church in Antioch sends out its first missionaries, Paul preaches his first recorded sermon, and the Word of the Lord breaks through opposition to reach new hearts. Here we see a pattern that conti…
- Kingdom Initiatives - Acts 12:1-25
What does a healthy prayer life look like? Acts 12 tells the story of when Peter was imprisoned, only to be rescued by an angel. Even though the church was praying for Peter, they were surprised that he showed up at their door. Sometimes,…
- Kingdom Initiatives - Acts 11:19-30
We love to ask, “What is the Spirit doing today?” and Acts 11 answers with a living picture in Antioch. Persecution scatters believers like seed, but instead of shrinking, the gospel spreads. A new, multi-ethnic church is born in a city fa…
- Kingdom Initiatives - Acts 10:1-11:18
We like neat boundaries. “Insider” and “outsider,” sacred and common, ours and theirs. But the story Luke tells in Acts 10:1-11:18 refuses our neatness. The Spirit changes Peter’s attitude once again shows that God moves across walls, rewr…
- Kingdom Initiatives - Acts 9:1-43
Acts 9 tells the story of a man once known for breathing threats and murder against Christians who is then confronted by the risen Christ and transformed into the greatest missionary the world has ever seen. But this story is not just abou…
- Kingdom Initiative - Acts 8:1-40
This morning, as we look at chapter 8 of Acts, we will see that God uses faithful and flexible servants like Philip to take the gospel across cultural, social, and spiritual boundaries.
- Kingdom Initiative - Acts: 6:8-7:60
As we continue our study in the book of Acts, we'll see how Stephen endured the accusations made against him, offered rebuttals, and dismantled the Israelites' misplaced confidence, yet ultimately suffered, which God (in His sovereignty) u…
- Kingdom Initiative - Acts 6:1-7
As we enter Acts 6, we see that the church needs to pause. We see the first official complaint against the church. From the beginning, the church was not perfect. But God used broken people to reconcile people to Himself. And that is still…
- Kingdom Initiatives - Acts 5:17-42
Have you ever felt pressure to stay quiet about your faith? Maybe at work, at school, or even around friends or family in moments when speaking up for Jesus felt risky? In Acts, 5, the apostles face real threats: prison, flogging, even dea…
- Kingdom Initiatives - Acts 5:1-16
In Acts 5, God stops the early church in its tracks to remind us that He's not impressed by performance. He desires truth in the inner being. This story is not about perfection, it's about purity. Not about punishment but about protecting…
- Strength That Secures the Future - Ephesians 3:14-21
This sermon, Pastor Talley's last at CBC, reflects on Ephesians and the church's future. It emphasizes that God's love and empowerment secure the church, not any specific person, program, or plan.
- Kingdom Initiatives - Acts 4:23-37
In Acts 4, we’re given a powerful glimpse of a church that didn’t grow through clever strategy or political favor but through deep commitment to God and one another. Fresh off experiencing persecution, the early believers didn’t panic; the…
