Calvary Hill Sermons

In this episode from Radiant Ladies, we continue our "Seasons" series with Gabby McHargue sharing what God is doing in the summer season of her life. Through humor, honesty, and deep faith, Gabby opens up about motherhood, routines, grief, obedience, and learning to trust God even when she doesn’t feel like it.

Her message is simple but powerful: do it anyway.

From raising two little boys to walking through miscarriage, from hard jobs to answered prayers, Gabby reflects on what it means to stay faithful in every season and to recognize that many of th...

In Hebrews 3:1–6, we are called to fix our eyes on Jesus and see that He is greater than one of the most important figures in all of Scripture—Moses.

In this sermon Pastor James O'Dell discusses how Moses was faithful in God’s house, but Jesus is the builder of the house. How Moses delivered God’s word to the people. But Jesus is the Word.

This passage shows us that while Moses was a servant within God’s house, Jesus is the Son over the house—the one with ultimate authority, glory, and honor.

And her...

In this episode from Radiant Ladies, we continue our "Seasons" series with a powerful testimony from Annabelle Parker, one of our teenagers at Calvary Hill. Sharing from the “spring” season of her life, Annabelle opens up about walking through her parents’ divorce, learning to trust God through pain, and discovering what it means to truly live for Jesus at a young age.

Her story is one of courage, healing, prayer, and light. From brokenness in her family to a deeper relationship with her Heavenly Father, Annabelle reminds us that no matter your age, God can use your life r...

Why did Jesus become human?

In Hebrews 2:10–18, we see that Jesus didn’t just come to forgive sins—He came to accomplish something far greater. He came to taste death for His people, to bring many sons to glory, and to call them His brothers and sisters.

This passage answers three powerful questions:

• Who is the “everyone” Jesus died for?

• What does it mean that He is bringing them to glory?

• Why is He not ashamed to call them His family?

Jesus is the Champion of our salvation—the On...

In this episode from Radiant Ladies, April Mozingo opens our new Seasons series by sharing a personal message on walking through winter seasons of life. Through grief, loss, loneliness, and hardship, this message points us to the nearness of Jesus in suffering and the hope He gives us in the dark.

Looking at John 11 and the story of Lazarus, Mary, and Martha, April reminds us that winter is not wasted. God is present in our pain, working beneath the surface, deepening our roots, and drawing us into deeper intimacy with Him. If you are in a hard...

God created humanity with a purpose: to rule over His creation as His image-bearers. But sin shattered that calling. Instead of living in glory and dominion, humanity now lives under the shadow of suffering and death.

In this sermon Pastor James O'Dell, using Hebrews 2:5–9, reminds us that while we do not yet see humanity ruling as God intended, but Jesus came to to earth to conquer death and place humans back in their proper order. This is not being realized fully right now, it will when Jesus returns.

The story of the gospel is the st...

Drifting rarely feels dramatic. It doesn’t begin with rebellion. It doesn’t start with renouncing the faith. It begins with carelessness.

In Hebrews 2:1–4, Pastor Neil Sandlin discusses one of the most sobering warnings in the New Testament. After showing us the supremacy of Jesus — Heir of all things, Creator of the world, Radiance of God’s glory, and superior to angels — the author turns and says: “Therefore… we must pay much closer attention.”

Why? Because drifting from Christ is not small. Neglecting salvation is not neutral. It is deadly.

In this sermon, we explore:

In Hebrews 1:5–14, Pastor James O'Dell continues our series Jesus Is Better by seeing why Christ is greater than the angels. While angels are glorious, powerful, and ministering servants of God, Jesus is something infinitely more.

He is the Son, uniquely begotten and eternally exalted.

He is Sovereign, enthroned and ruling over all creation.

He is Savior, the One whose kingdom will never end.

The writer of Hebrews anchors our confidence not in created beings, but in the eternal Son who reigns forever. Angels serve. Jesus rules. Angels minister. Jesus is worshiped.

We live in a world obsessed with upgrades, better technology, better systems, better experiences. But the book of Hebrews makes a different kind of claim. Not that Jesus is improved. Not that He complements what came before. But that He is absolutely and permanently better.

In Hebrews 1:1–4, the writer begins with thunder, declaring the supremacy of the Son. Jesus is the better Prophet who reveals God fully, the better Priest who cleanses sin completely, and the better King who rules forever. Everything that came before — angels, Moses, the temple, the prophets — was real and glorious, but it was pa...

What does it actually look like to live by the Spirit day by day?

In Galatians 5:25–26, the apostle Paul moves from the fruit the Spirit produces to the rhythm the Spirit invites us into: “If we live by the Spirit, let us also keep in step with the Spirit.”

In this final sermon of our Inside Out Kingdom series, Pastor James O'Dell discusses the reality that life in the Spirit is not passive or chaotic, but intentional, responsive, and communal. Paul shows us that walking by the Spirit means learning to match our pace to His—re...

In Galatians 5:23b–24, the apostle Paul shows us that the Christian life is not about learning to live better under the same old rulers, but about living under an entirely new authority.

Many of us struggle with authority because we have lived under rules that pressured but never healed, desires that promised freedom but never satisfied, and rulers that were harsh or unjust. Paul says the gospel introduces something different. The law no longer condemns. The flesh no longer rules. Christ now reigns from the inside out.

In this sermon from our Inside Out Kingdom se...

Self-control is often misunderstood as willpower or behavior management—but the Bible presents something far deeper.

In this message from our Inside Out Kingdom series on the Fruit of the Spirit, Pastor James O'Dell explores self-control from Galatians 5:22–23, not as white-knuckled discipline, but as a life ordered by the Spirit under the lordship of Jesus.

Rather than asking, “How do I try harder?” Scripture invites us to ask, “What is ruling my heart?”

In this sermon, we’ll look at:

-Why self-control is not repression, but freedom

-How the Bible understa...

What if gentleness isn’t weakness, but strength that no longer needs to prove itself?

In this sermon from our Inside Out Kingdom series on the Fruit of the Spirit, Pastor Neil Sandlin explores gentleness from Galatians 5:22, not as softness or passivity, but as Spirit-formed strength shaped by the heart of Jesus.

Beginning with C.S. Lewis’s famous line about Aslan—“Safe? Who said anything about safe?" this message challenges our cultural assumptions about power, dominance, and what it means to truly reflect Christ.

We’ll look at:

In a culture where commitments are easily broken and trust is fragile, Scripture points us to a deeper, steadier definition of faithfulness, one rooted in the very character of God.

In this message Pastor James O'Dell explores the Fruit of the Spirit of Faithfulness, beginning with the example of God’s unwavering faithfulness and moving to what it means for believers to reflect that faithfulness in everyday life. The Bible presents faithfulness as trustworthiness, reliability, and honesty, a steady, consistent life shaped by confidence in God’s promises.

What does it really mean to be “good”?

In a world that often confuses goodness with niceness, Scripture offers a deeper, truer vision. In this sermon Pastor Neil Sandlin explores the Fruit of the Spirit: Goodness, not as harmless behavior, but as holy, life-giving moral excellence rooted in the very character of God. Beginning with a biblical definition of goodness, we look at God’s goodness as an essential attribute, how He both is good and does good (Psalm 119:68), and how that same goodness is produced in believers through the new birth by the Holy Spirit.

Biblical kindness isn’t about being polite, it’s about reflecting the heart of God. In this sermon Pastor James o'Dell discusses how the Holy Spirit produces genuine kindness in us and why gospel-shaped kindness has the power to heal, restore, and transform relationships.”

What does the Bible really mean when it calls patience a ‘fruit of the Spirit’? In this message, Pastor Neil unpacks the two powerful New Testament words for patience—one that teaches us to endure hardship with trust in God, and one that teaches us to love people with long-suffering grace. Discover why humility is the soil patience grows in, how to wait faithfully in seasons of confusion, and how to show Christlike patience in messy relationships. This sermon will challenge and encourage you to see patience not as a personality trait, but as the supernatural work of the Holy S...
