Calvary Orlando

In the Book of Acts, we find the blueprint for the church, a Spirit-filled, unified, generous, and mission-driven body that reveals God’s Kingdom to the world. That same blueprint is still the model for today’s Christian community.

n a world where people are increasingly disillusioned with organized religion, the idea of the church can feel outdated or optional. But the truth is, the church isn’t just relevant, it’s essential. The church is not man's invention, it was created by Jesus. As Pastor Kevin reminds us, Jesus Himself said, “I will build My church, and the gates of hell will not prevail against it.” The church is God’s plan for community, transformation, and mission in the world. It is more than a building or a Sunday gathering. It is a living, Spirit-empowered body, a holy nation, and a spiritual family created by God for His purposes.

In a world full of noise and distraction, it's easy to compartmentalize our faith to Sundays. But the truth is, you were Made for Mondays—created to be a person of influence in your everyday life. As a Christian, you're not just meant to attend church, you're meant to be the church in every sphere of your life. Jesus said in Mark 16:15, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation.” That doesn’t just mean stepping onto a pulpit—it means stepping into your workplace, your family, your community, and yes, even your HOA meeting, with purpose.

Our latest message in the Made for Mondays series, Lead Like Jesus, reminded us that every believer is a disciple, and every disciple is a leader. The call to follow Jesus isn’t passive. It’s a call to live with purpose, influence, and mission. “A disciple is someone who knows Jesus, is being transformed by Jesus, and is committed to the mission of Jesus.”

Too many believers dread Mondays, but what if your Christian faith reframed it? Jesus said, "You are the light of the world." That’s not just for Sunday morning in church—it’s for boardrooms, classrooms, and break rooms. Wherever you work, God has placed you there on assignment. You’re not just earning a paycheck—you’re advancing the Kingdom of God.

Your Work Matters to God Work isn’t just something you have to do—it’s something you were created to do. In this message, discover the powerful Christian truth that your work isn’t a curse—it’s a calling. From the very beginning, God designed work to be good, meaningful, and full of purpose. Here’s the shift: work is worship. Whether you're clocking in at the office, teaching in a classroom, serving tables, or running a business, your work is a way to reflect God’s image, love others, and participate in His ongoing creation. You’re not just made for weekends—you’re Made for Mondays.

In a fast-paced world that glorifies hustle and burnout, many are discovering a deeper truth: the most powerful lives are those lived from rest—not restlessness. At Calvary Orlando, we're launching a fresh perspective in our summer series Made for Mondays, beginning with a message that reframes how we view work, rest, and purpose. It’s time to stop living for the weekend and start living from it.

In a world overwhelmed by emotional burnout, spiritual fatigue, and quiet battles, our most powerful healing doesn’t come from external fixes—it begins with the transformative presence of Jesus. At Calvary Orlando, this past Sunday’s message, From Brokenness to Wholeness, led by Pastor Caroline, was more than a sermon—it was a personal invitation into emotional healing, spiritual restoration, and life transformation through faith. As a Christian church in Orlando, we believe that real change begins when we encounter Jesus for ourselves.

Father's Day can stir up a mix of emotions—joy, gratitude, regret, or even pain. But whether your earthly father was present or absent, kind or cruel, there is One Father whose love is perfect, constant, and life-changing—God, your Heavenly Father.

Are you in a season of waiting — for a breakthrough, a healing, a relationship, or a new opportunity? It can feel like God is silent. But in a powerful message at Calvary Orlando, Pastor JJ reminded us that God works powerfully in the process, not just at the destination. This message is for anyone who's felt stuck, delayed, or forgotten. The truth is: your miracle is on the way, and God is closer than you think.

On this special Baptism Sunday at Calvary Orlando, we celebrate lives made new in Christ and reflect on why baptism still matters today. From wooden watermelon tanks to rivers and oceans, the place doesn’t matter—the surrender does. In this message, we revisit Jesus' command in Matthew 28, explore the power of baptism as a visual sermon, and ask: Are you ready to fully surrender?

Reggie Dabbs reminded us that even in our darkest moments, God is always just four steps away. Using powerful illustrations and heartfelt testimony, he invited us all to take a moment and say: “Remember me, Lord.” The message hit home for many, and it was a moment we won’t forget.

In Week 2 of Ignite, we take a closer look at what happens when passion for God begins to fade. From the warning to the church in Ephesus, to Lydia’s powerful response to the gospel, to the burning hearts of the disciples on the Emmaus road—we’re reminded that Jesus is always calling us back to Himself.

At Calvary Orlando, we believe church isn't just a place you attend — it's a movement you're part of. This past Sunday, Pastor Kevin launched our newest sermon series, "IGNITE", and the message couldn’t be more timely. We want to unpack this message and help you live out the call to ignite your faith, ignite your community, and truly ignite your purpose in Christ.

Are you ready to step into your calling with the power of Heaven behind you? In Week 2 of our "UP" series, we explore the powerful moment of Christ's Ascension — not as an ending, but as a launching point for every believer! Jesus didn't just rise to Heaven; He passed the torch to you and me.

Are you ready to experience the power of the resurrection in your own life? In this inspiring Resurrection Sunday message, we walk through Luke 24:1–49 to explore the transformational journey from doubt to belief that the early disciples experienced after Jesus rose from the grave. At first, even Jesus’ closest followers were skeptics—but everything changed when He began revealing Himself through scripture, fellowship, and personal encounters.

Experience the power and beauty of Palm Sunday 2025 in our message: "Palm Sunday: The Messiah You Didn’t See Coming." Dive into the heart of the Palm Sunday story from Matthew 21:1-11, where Jesus’ Triumphal Entry into Jerusalem reveals a Savior who does immeasurably more than anyone expected.

In Week 4 of our "From Ashes to Glory" series, we dive into the powerful moment of The Transfiguration of Jesus—an encounter that revealed His divine glory and connected deeply with Moses’ experience on Mount Sinai.

God doesn’t just call us to survive—He calls us to flourish. And flourishing begins with the heart. Rooted in Scripture, the message outlined how repentance positions us to experience spiritual growth, healing, and restoration in every season.

❗ Are You REALLY Following Jesus? ❗ Many claim to be disciples, but what does it actually mean to deny yourself, take up your cross daily, and follow Christ? In this powerful sermon on discipleship, we unpack Luke 9:18-26 and Luke 9:57-62 to challenge your faith and commitment. If you were put on trial for being a Christian, would there be enough evidence to convict you?
