What an absolutely beautiful day greeted us as we awoke Sunday morning and prepared to gather together in the house of God once again!  A bit on the chilly side, but beautiful regardless- the kind of day that should make us stop for a moment, and just thank the Lord for all the beauty he has created for us to enjoy.

After a wonderful time in the sweet presence of Jesus, praising and worshiping his precious, holy name, Pastor Cheek stepped up to the pulpit, and delivered what would turn out to be a landmark message. The kind that you can refer back to in your memory on many future occasions. Sort of like a "gift that keeps on giving". His text was Nehemiah 1:1-3, his title, "Survivors or Conquerors?"  As he used the examples of Nehemiah, and the children of Israel, he set out a challenge for us as individuals concerning our own personal lives and circumstances, but also as a church body concerning our current circumstances, our past roadblocks & setbacks, and how we allow all that to determine our confession of faith as we advance forward to what God has promised for the future of Calvary Family Worship Center! We don't want to operate with the mindset that some in the church have, accepting the ruins left by enemy attacks and simply learning to live with the loss. Pastor put that best when he said the church is not defeated by persecution, but paralyzed by acceptance.
