From Theology To Doxology

After three chapters of deep theology in Romans 9–11, the Apostle Paul suddenly stops explaining and starts worshiping. In Romans 11:33–36, Paul erupts into a hymn of praise as he reflects on the wisdom, knowledge, mercy, and glory of God. This message explores how true theology should always lead to awe, worship, and surrender. Together we look at: The incomprehensible wisdom of God The self-sufficiency of God The supremacy of God over all creation Why worship becomes the only reasonable response This message also serves as the powerful bridge into Romans 12 and the call to become living sacrifices in response to the mercies of God. If you’ve ever struggled to understand God’s ways, wondered about His purposes, or needed your heart lifted into worship again, this message will encourage and challenge you.

The God Who Sees You

Mother’s Day can bring joy, gratitude, exhaustion, grief, and everything in between. In this special Mother’s Day message from Genesis 16 and 21, Pastor Tony Stephens looks at the story of Hagar — a hurting mother in the wilderness who discovered that God is still the God who sees, hears, and provides. If you have ever felt overlooked, overwhelmed, forgotten, or weary, this message is for you. “The God Who Sees You” reminds us that even in our hardest seasons, we are never invisible to God. Scripture: Genesis 16:7–13 Genesis 21:14–19 Thank you for joining us at Calvary Baptist Church in Moncks Corner, SC.

How Salvation Happens

How does a person actually get saved? In a world full of confusion about religion, good works, and “being a good person,” Romans 10 gives a clear and powerful answer. The Apostle Paul shows us that salvation is not earned—it is received. It comes when the message of Christ is heard, believed in the heart, and confessed openly. In this message, we walk through Romans 10 with a focus on two key verses: Romans 10:9 — Believe in your heart and confess Jesus as Lord Romans 10:17 — Faith comes by hearing the message of Christ You’ll see why religion cannot save, how faith truly works, why hearing the gospel matters, and what it means to respond to Jesus today. If you’ve ever wondered how to be saved—or how to help someone else find Christ—this message will give you clarity, confidence, and hope.

Is God Still In Control?

What do you do when life becomes confusing and God’s promises seem hard to understand? In Romans 9:1–29, the Apostle Paul addresses one of the most difficult and important questions in Scripture: Has God’s Word failed? As Paul grieves over Israel’s unbelief, he reminds us that God remains sovereign, righteous, merciful, and faithful—even when His ways are beyond our understanding. This message explores Paul’s burden for the lost, God’s sovereign freedom in history, the difference between privilege and saving faith, and the mercy of God that still calls sinners today. If you’ve ever struggled to understand God’s plan, wondered why some reject the gospel, or needed reassurance that God is still in control, this message will encourage your heart and strengthen your faith.

Unshakable Love

What happens when life feels uncertain, heavy, or full of fear? How can believers know that God is still for them in seasons of hardship? In Romans 8:31–39, the Apostle Paul gives one of the strongest declarations of assurance in all of Scripture. If God is for us, no opposition can ultimately stand against us. No accusation can overturn His verdict. No suffering can separate us from Christ’s love. Nothing in all creation can sever the believer from the eternal love of God. This message explores how the cross proves God’s commitment, how Christ secures our justification, how believers are more than conquerors in trials, and how God’s love remains unshakable through every season of life. If you are battling fear, guilt, uncertainty, or discouragement, this passage offers deep hope and lasting confidence in Jesus Christ.
