In this week’s episode, The Shepherd and the Showman, Dr. Willy Rice takes us to Acts 8:9–13 and 18–25, where the story of Simon the sorcerer contrasts true faith with a dangerous counterfeit. While many respond genuinely to the gospel, Simon’s story reveals how easily belief can be mixed with wrong motives and misplaced desires. Through this powerful passage, we’re challenged to examine the authenticity of our own faith—looking closely at our repentance, our motives, our agenda, and what we truly value. This message reminds us that faith is not about gaining power or recognition, but about a transformed heart that humbly receives the gift of God. Ultimately, this episode calls us to move beyond appearances and into a deeper, genuine relationship with Christ—one marked not by performance, but by surrender and truth.

In this week’s episode, Scattered but Not Shattered, Dr. Willy Rice walks us through Acts 8:1–8, where the early church faces intense persecution—yet instead of being silenced, the gospel begins to spread even further. What seemed like disruption became divine direction, as believers carried the message of Christ wherever they were scattered. This message reminds us that a true gospel movement requires endurance in suffering, a willingness to embrace our mission, and boldness to express the message. Even in hardship, God is at work—in us, around us, and through us—accomplishing purposes far greater than we can see. When life feels uncertain or difficult, this episode challenges us to remain faithful, knowing that God can use even our scattering to bring about joy, transformation, and the advance of His Kingdom.

In this week’s episode, Behold the King, Dr. Willy Rice takes us to Matthew 21:1–11, where Jesus enters Jerusalem in what we now call the Triumphal Entry. As the crowds cry out “Hosanna” and lay down palm branches, one question rises above the celebration: Who is this? This message invites us to look closely at Jesus—considering His claim as King, His courage in fulfilling His mission, and ultimately His cross. It leads us to the same moment of decision faced by the crowd that day: not just recognizing who Jesus is, but choosing what that means for us personally. In the end, the question isn’t only Is Jesus the King?—it’s Is He my King? Support the show Find us at! Calvary.us - Website 💻 Calvary.us - Instagram 📱 CalvaryChurchCLW - Youtube 📹

In this week’s episode, The Real Treasure, Dr. Willy Rice leads us through Matthew 13:44–46, where Jesus shares the parables of the hidden treasure and the pearl of great value. Through these vivid images, He reveals the incomparable worth of God’s Kingdom—so valuable that it calls for a response of total surrender and joyful sacrifice. This message challenges us to see the Kingdom for what it truly is and to respond with faith and repentance. It also calls the Church to live with extravagant obedience, recognizing that nothing compares to the surpassing value of knowing Christ. When we truly grasp the treasure we’ve found, giving up everything else becomes not a burden—but a joy. Support the show Find us at!

In this week’s episode, The Power of Small Things, we turn to Matthew 13:31–33 as Jesus shares the parables of the mustard seed and the leaven. Through these simple images, He reveals how God’s Kingdom often begins in ways that seem small, hidden, or insignificant. This message reminds us to value the power of small things, the power of multiplication, and the power of wise investments. Though the beginnings may seem modest, God uses faithful seeds and quiet influence to grow His Kingdom in ways far greater than we can imagine. Support the show Find us at!

In this week’s episode, The Kingdom in the Field, we turn to Matthew 13:24–30 and 36–43 as Jesus tells the parable of the wheat and the weeds. Through this story, Jesus reveals the reality of living in a world where good and evil grow side by side until the final harvest. This message reminds us of our current reality, our continuing mission, and our confident hope. While the enemy works to sow weeds among the wheat, the people of God are not called to clear the field but to faithfully cast the seed. And in the end, we rest in the promise that God’s Kingdom will ultimately overcome. Support the show Find us at! Calvary.us - Website 💻 Calvary.us - Instagram 📱 CalvaryChurchCLW - Youtube 📹

In this week’s episode, Kingdom Vision…Kingdom People, we turn to Matthew 6:33 and Jesus’ call to seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness. In a world consumed with what we will eat, wear, and achieve, Christ redirects our focus to what truly lasts—anchoring our lives in the promise of His provision. This message explores the reality of God’s Kingdom—how it has come, is coming, and will come. From Christ’s first proclamation to the church’s bold witness and the future fulfillment of His reign, we are reminded that the Kingdom is not distant, but active and advancing. The invitation is clear: pursue the Kingdom wholeheartedly, prioritize it daily, and trust the King completely. When we align our lives with His rule, we discover a vision that shapes us into true Kingdom people. Support the show Find us at!

In this week’s episode, A Bridge to Nowhere, we turn to Genesis 11:1–9 and examine humanity’s attempt to build a tower to the heavens. What began as unity quickly became a prideful and spiritual endeavor to make a name apart from God—revealing the danger of a way that seems right but ultimately leads to ruin. This passage contrasts the way of man reaching up with the greater truth of God coming down. While human pride builds towers, God in His grace moves toward us, making a way for true reconciliation and worship. The story invites us to abandon self-made bridges and trust the only One who truly brings us home. Support the show Find us at!

In this week’s episode, When the Door Shuts, we turn to Genesis 6:11–22 and witness a world overwhelmed by wickedness—and a holy God who will not ignore it. As judgment approaches, the ark stands as both a warning and a provision of grace. Looking through Hebrews 11:7 and Jesus’ words in Matthew 24 and Luke 13, we’re reminded that the door will not remain open forever. This passage calls us to face the reality of sin, anticipate coming judgment, and receive God’s gracious rescue. Support the show Find us at!

In this week’s episode, Where It All Went Wrong, we turn to Genesis 3:1–8 to see how sin first entered the world through deception and disobedience. As the serpent questions, twists, and denies God’s Word, we are reminded of how easily trust in God can be replaced with doubt and self-reliance. This passage calls us to recognize the reality of sin and our need for grace, pointing us away from our own efforts and toward the provision God has made for us. It invites us to respond not with hiding, but with faith—receiving God’s grace and trusting His Word above every competing voice. Support the show Find us at!
