Welcome to Calvary

We exist to
glorify GOD and make DISCIPLES
Glorify GodThe chief end of man is to glorify God and to enjoy him forever.
So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God. (1 Corinthians 10:31) Worthy are you, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for you created all things, and by your will they existed and were created. (Revelation 4:11) Bring…everyone who is called by my name, whom I created for my glory, whom I formed and made. (Isaiah 43:6-7) |
Make DisciplesJesus commanded it – it’s his idea.
Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. (Matthew 28:19-20) But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth. (Acts 1:8) |
We exist to glorify God - This encompasses the totality of our relationship with the Lord. We obey him, honor him, worship him, trust him, etc.
We exist to make disciples - This encompasses the totality of our relationship with others. When relating to other Christians we serve them, love them, and seek to build them up in Christ (i.e. disciple them). When relating to non-Christians we serve them, love them, and seek to share the gospel with them so that they believe in Jesus (i.e. seek to make disciples).
