Calvary Omaha :: Worship Encounter Audio Podcast

Pastor Mike O'Connell kicked off Get In The Game Month with a reminder that life is better being surrounded. We aren’t looking to get something from you, we can genuinely say that we believe God wants to deposit something in you. Our heart is for you to experience God’s best for your life.

What is our view of God? How has it been distorted? Pastor Todd Doxzon shares a message about receiving The King’s Kindness. Due to our warped vision of who God is, we may be broken, lost, and hiding. However, God is gracious and kind; and He has an unconditional love for us. He invites us to the table.

Who is your heart hardened towards? When we feel hurt by someone, we need to choose humility and seek forgiveness. When we become prideful, we become hardened and stubborn. We are not meant to take revenge into our own hands; righteous revenge will come from the Lord. Choosing humility allows us to walk in freedom and experience God’s best for our lives; free of distraction from insecurity and self-centered thoughts.Our mission is simple, to help you become “a self-feeder” — getting to know God one day at a time by reading the Bible! Join us as we read through the entire Bible together!

Each season of life brings new battles or storms and sometimes there are giants that can hinder us from experiencing God's best for our lives. In A Sling & A Stone, Pastor Mike O'Connell teaches from 1 Samuel 17. As we read about David facing Goliath we are reminded that we will never slay a giant that we don't call out. But we can have confidence that God will fight for us when we humbly submit our fears and insecurities to him. We pray you are encouraged by this message!

What is something that is in your heart that is hindering you from experiencing God's best for your life? Sometimes good things like our family, career, or hobbies become an idol because we have put those things above pursuing an intimate relationship with God. In All Your Heart, Pastor Ben Norvig teaches from 1 Samuel 7 and reminds us that God desires that we give him all of our heart so that we can fully experience his best for our lives. We pray you are encouraged by this message!

We all have the privilege of hearing God's voice and God desires to speak to us even more than we desire to hear from him. In How to hear the voice of God, Pastor Kap Chatfield teaches from 1 Samuel 2-3. As we learn about Samuel's first experience hearing from God, we are reminded that we receive direction and become more unified when we hear God's voice. We pray you are encouraged by this message!

What are the top couple of influences in your life? It is important to consider the content that we are consuming because negative influences can cause us to derail our destiny. In Can't Get Right, Pastor Todd Doxzon teaches from Judges 13-16. As we read about Samson's life, we see that the decisions we make can either be a help or a hindrance to us experiencing God's best for our lives. We pray you are encouraged by this message!

Have you ever felt like the odds are stacked against you? Sometimes our problems can paralyze us when we try to handle them on our own, but God desires that we cast our cares on him. In The Odds Are Against Me, Pastor Todd Doxzon teaches from Judges 6-7 and reminds us that, when the odds are stacked against us only God gets the glory when he moves powerfully in our lives. We pray you are encouraged by this message!

When God created man and woman, he created them uniquely different with a specific purpose in mind. When we choose to do things our own way, we miss out on God's best for our lives. In Why Men Matter, Pastor Kap Chatfield teaches from Judges 4 and shares God's desire for how a man should lead his family. We pray you are encouraged by this message!

Have you ever been misunderstood or has someone offended you? Misunderstandings happen, but the longer we let bitterness and resentment sit in our hearts, the worse it gets. In Clearing Up Conflict, Pastor Todd Doxzon teaches from Joshua 22 and reminds us that God's desire for us is to humbly resolve conflict so we can move from being divided to being united. We pray you are encouraged by this message!

In Don't Get Duped, Pastor Todd Doxzon teaches from Joshua 9. As we read about Joshua leading the people into the Promised Land we see them get deceived because they didn't seek the Lord before making an important decision. God can see the full picture of every aspect of our lives. It's important for us to stay in his word and spend time with him in prayer so that we are not led astray. We pray you are encouraged by this message!

What is the desire in your heart? Is the desire in your heart more than your desire to have an intimate relationship with God? In Crossing Over To Purpose, Pastor Mike O'Connell teaches from Joshua 3. God has a purpose for our lives but we have to make sure that chasing our purpose doesn't distract us from chasing after him. When we put God first and align our desires with his, we will see him do miraculous things in our lives. We pray you are encouraged by this message!

Are you in a season of transition? Does the transition have you feeling anxious and overwhelmed? Transition can be tough to navigate at times, but remaining stagnant will not help us experience God's best for our lives. In Successful Succession, Pastor Todd Doxzon teaches from Joshua 1 and reminds us that remaining intimately connected to God will help us to courageously answer his call on our lives. We pray you are encouraged by this message!

As believers, we know that we will spend eternity with God. God's desire is also that we experience his best for us while we are still living, and what we experience is based on the choices we make. In Your Choice, Pastor Todd Doxzon teaches from Deuteronomy 28 and reminds us that we should respond to God's love for us by being obedient to his expectations of us. We pray you are encouraged by this message!

In “For my Daughters”, Pastor Ben Norvig shared a special teaching for Mother’s Day from Genesis 3 and Luke 1. God created men and women with specific design that allows us to all be better together. We are so thankful for all the moms who call Love Church home!
