Pastor Dan opened 1 Corinthians by confronting a church that had stalled in spiritual growth, reminding believers that those who belong to God are called to live differently than the world around them. From Paul’s greeting, he emphasized that salvation means being set apart for God’s purposes, serving others, and living daily in the grace God supplies. The clear takeaway was simple and direct: if we belong to Christ, it’s time to grow up and start living like it.

Pastor Lance preached from Philippians 2:5–11, presenting Jesus as the humble King who willingly left the glory of heaven, took on human flesh, and obeyed the Father even to death on a cross. He called believers to embrace Christlike humility through serving others and obedient living, while finding hope in the certainty that Christ’s humility leads to His exaltation and eternal reign.

Pastor Dan preached that God sovereignly and graciously led unlikely seekers—the pagan wise men—to Jesus, proving that anyone who truly seeks Christ does so because God is already at work drawing them. He showed how Bethlehem’s role fulfilled prophecy, confirming the reliability of Scripture, and emphasized that encountering Jesus produces joy that naturally overflows into worship expressed through obedience, giving, and devotion.

Pastor Dan’s devotional points us beyond the manger to the glory of who Jesus truly is—fully God and fully man—using Colossians 1:15–20 to answer the question, “What Child Is This?” He explains that the baby Mary held was the Creator, Sustainer, and Savior, the One who reconciles sinners to God through His death and resurrection. He closes by clearly presenting the gospel and inviting listeners to put their trust in Christ, the greatest gift of Christmas.

Pastor Dan reminded us that before Christ saved us, we lived like slaves under sin, but in the fullness of time God sent His Son to redeem us and adopt us as His own. Through the Spirit, believers now live as free children of God—not in fear, not in legalism, but in the joyful confidence of sons and heirs. The call is simple: stop living like slaves when Christ came to make us free.

Pastor Dan’s sermon emphasized the need for believers to stay faithful in prayer—with focus, consistency, and thanksgiving—and to intentionally ask God for open doors to share the gospel clearly. He reminded the church to walk wisely before unbelievers, using time well and speaking with gracious, Christ-honoring words that point people to the hope of salvation. Ultimately, he called the church to begin each day asking God for boldness and opportunities to witness.

Pastor Dan preached that Christ alone is the believer’s strength, confidence, and sufficiency. From Colossians 2:1–10, he warned against false teachers who distract from Christ and burden people with manmade traditions, urging the church instead to stay rooted, built up, and thankful in Jesus—because in Him “the whole fullness of deity dwells,” and He is all we need. His call was simple and strong: cling to Christ alone and reject every teaching that shifts your focus from Him.

Pastor Dan reminded us from Colossians 3:12–17 that the new life we have in Christ is marked by grace, love, peace, truth, and thankfulness. He emphasized that believers are called to put on godly character, let Christ’s peace rule their hearts, allow His Word to dwell richly, and do everything in His name with gratitude. The heartbeat of the message was simple: a transformed life should continually reflect Christ—and be thankful.

Pastor Dan walked through Nehemiah 9, highlighting God’s covenant faithfulness to Israel despite their repeated rebellion. He emphasized that the Lord is gracious, merciful, and patient—never abandoning His people but continually calling them back to Himself for restoration. The call to us is to remember His grace, repent of coldness, and renew our walk with Christ.

Pastor Dan’s message from James 1:5–8 and Proverbs 8 emphasized that true wisdom begins with God Himself—the Creator who established the world by His understanding. He explained that biblical wisdom is not mere intelligence, but the ability to live righteously before God and others. God’s wisdom enables believers to make sound decisions, lead their families well, and find favor with Him. Pastor Dan concluded by showing that Jesus is the ultimate expression of God’s wisdom, the solid foundation on which every life must be built for both spiritual success and salvation.

Pastor Dan taught that Jesus Christ is the visible image of the invisible God, revealing God’s glory through His incarnation, creation, and sustaining power. Christ’s supremacy extends over all creation and the Church because the fullness of God dwells in Him, and through His blood He has reconciled all things to Himself. The believer’s response is to worship, trust, and glorify Him daily as the visible display of God’s majesty.

Pastor Dan’s sermon emphasized God’s absolute holiness, His righteous character, and His just nature in judging sin. He showed that only God can remove guilt through the atoning work of Christ, whose cross demonstrates perfect justice and mercy. The message ended by reminding listeners that while judgment is certain for the unrepentant, God’s grace still reaches the humble and restores a faithful remnant.#TheOneTrueGod #Isaiah6 #GodIsHoly #JusticeAndMercy #ChristOurAtonement #PastorDan #CalvaryTilton

Pastor Dan’s sermon, “The One True God Is Holy,” focused on Isaiah 6:1–8 and emphasized that God’s holiness sets Him completely apart from humanity — He is morally pure, perfectly righteous, and sovereign over all creation. When Isaiah encountered God’s holiness, he was undone by his sinfulness, revealing humanity’s desperate need for cleansing and redemption through Christ’s atoning sacrifice. Once forgiven, believers are called to serve the holy God with humility and obedience, responding as Isaiah did: “Here am I, send me.”

Pastor Dan’s sermon emphasized that God shows His goodness even when people reject Him, when our sin offends Him, and when the world refuses to honor Him. He highlighted that God provides healing, daily blessings, and opportunities for repentance, yet warned that the window to receive salvation does not stay open forever. Ultimately, God’s goodness is revealed most clearly through Christ’s sacrifice on the cross, and each person must decide whether to trust Him while they still can .

Community Praise Night in Waynetown, IN

Pastor Dan’s sermon reminded us that God is sovereign over all creation and works through His providence to guide history, people, and events toward His perfect plan. Peter’s Pentecost sermon showed that the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus were no accident but God’s foreordained means of salvation, offering forgiveness and new life to all who repent and believe. God now calls us to respond personally—turning from sin, trusting Christ, and receiving the gift of the Holy Spirit.

Brother Luke’s sermon emphasized that God’s love is not just an attribute but His very nature. This love is eternal, displayed in redemptive history, lived out in the church through sanctifying, unifying, and missional love, and even revealed in discipline and judgment. God’s love is not soft sentimentality—it is a conquering love that comes with a sword, a cross, and a crown, calling us to holiness and faithfulness.

Pastor Dan preached from Acts 17:16–34, emphasizing that Jesus Christ is the only true image of God, in contrast to the man-made idols worshiped in Athens. He showed that God alone is sovereign—He created the world, determines our times and boundaries, commands repentance, and has proven His authority by raising Jesus from the dead. Pastor Daniel applied this truth personally, reminding us that God is sovereign in salvation (Ephesians 1:3–11) and in every detail of our daily lives (James 4:13–15). The call was clear: to worship the living God, repent of idolatry, and trust His sovereign will over life and eternity .

Pastor Andrew preached from Romans on the reality that Christians must daily choose whether they will live as slaves to sin or as slaves to righteousness. He reminded us that although believers have been made new in Christ, the old sinful nature still wars within, and holiness requires intentional sacrifice, obedience, and walking closely with God through prayer and His Word. The call was clear: because Christ has set us free, we must not return to sin but present ourselves as living sacrifices, transformed and committed to righteousness.

Pastor Andrew Dusek’s sermon reminded us that when God seems silent and our prayers feel unanswered, we must remember who truly controls all things. Habakkuk shows us that God is sovereign, good, just, and attentive—even when life feels chaotic. Our response must be to trust Him, ground ourselves in His character, and never stop praying, knowing His plan is always best.
