Hi Calvary Family,

It's hard to believe that we have made it to March! Spring is upon us! We earnestly pray that this March is nothing like last March but that it is a time of growing and sprouting as creation grows alongside us.

I hope yesterday's message encourages you to grow in sharing life together. What a blessing it was to dive into John 15 as we discovered the true marks of sharing life together. Let me remind you of what we learned:

1. We Share a Living Fellowship (John 15:1-3)
2. We Share in a Joyful Fellowship (John 15:4)
3. We Share in an Honest Fellowship (John 15:5-10)

These three truths set the foundation of what it means for us at Calvary to share life together! As we move forward in our series on sharing life together, remember these foundations.

As we grow into a fuller life shared together, I want to encourage you to join us for Annie Armstrong Week of Prayer. We will have missionary David Creswell speaking on March 7th, a prayer service on March 8th in the chapel at 10:30 am, and start working towards our goal of $7,500, which will go 100% towards missionaries in the North American Mission Board. Please be in prayer for this week as we prepare our hearts for missions this Easter Season.

I pray each of you joins us in our journey of learning what it means for us to share life together!

P.S. Be in prayer for how God is calling you to give to our Annie Armstrong goal this year!

Hi Calvary Family,

What a blessing it is to be at the start of another week! I pray that you were able to join us in some capacity yesterday, whether it was in-person or online. If you did join us you will remember that we explored the Call to Discernment in Matthew 7.

There were three postures we discovered when answering the call to discernment.

1. The Proper Place for Discernment (Matt. 7:1-6)
2. The Persistent Prayer for Discernment (Matt. 7:7-11)
3. The Practical Proofs for Discernment (Matt. 7:12-47)

Together with these postures in place, we can answer the call for discernment.

If you were unable to listen to yesterday's sermon you can do so here. You can also catch up on any other sermons you may have missed!

I want to encourage you this week to be in prayer for how God may be calling you to discernment. Are you practicing these postures? Are you too caught up in work and life that you have become less attuned to what God might be calling you to? Take this week to posture yourself to receiving the call of discernment!

In Christ,

Kenny Grant

Senior Pastor

P.S. If you have kids in Kid City or Clubhouse, join us this Friday, 2/26, at 6 pm in the Cafeteria (C building) for Family Fourth Friday! Supper is provided! We can't wait to see you there!

Hi Calvary Family,

Happy Monday! It is yet another gloomy/rainy day but we praise the Lord that he has provided these showers; for we can know that spring is coming soon!

Yesterday, we explored some key ideas in 1 Peter on submission. There are a few main ideas we gathered. We are to submit...

• In the municipality (2:13)
• In the marketplace (2:18-19)
• In the marriage relationship (3:1-2)
• in the membership (5:1-5)

These ideas help to function as Christians in a lost world. We love on the lost by the ministry of the church. I want to encourage you this week to be thinking about how you can serve the church. As we submit to the Godhead and to His Bride, we ought to be finding ways to serve her. You can head to our website, cbtsavannah.org/serve to find out about all the service opportunities we have. We would love to have you!

I pray this week that you will be thinking about ways to further the ministry of God's church and find ways you can use your gifts at Calvary!

In Christ,

Kenny Grant

Senior Pastor

P.S. Don't forget to give as God has called you to our sister church, Calvary in Thailand, as we seek to raise $20,000 for air conditioners.

Hi Calvary Family,

Thank God for a living hope!

If you were able to join us yesterday, you will remember that Pastor Chris led us in an exposition of the hope we have. He started us off by reading about how powerful and wealthy King Solomon became, but in the end, his only hope was in fearing God and keeping his commandments (Ecc. 12:13). We see this reflected later in 1 Peter 1:3, "Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! According to his great mercy, he has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead." Our hope rests in Christ alone!

Christ read this great quote from C.S. Lewis, "I must keep alive in myself the desire for my true country, which I shall not find till after death... I must make it the main object of life to press on to that country and help others to do the same." This is our calling, to press onward towards hope in Christ and to bring others with us.

I want to encourage you this week, to brings others alongside you towards hope. We have a wide array of Connect Bible Classes on Sundays at 9:00 am that you can bring a guest too. We also have our Wednesday Night Bible Study at 6:30 pm in the Worship Center. Please join us for those studies as we venture towards hope.

I am praying for you this week!
