Last week, we continued our journey through the Sermon on the Mount by studying the first four Beatitudes. We discovered that Jesus begins His greatest sermon by addressing the heart. True citizens of God's Kingdom recognize their spiritual poverty, grieve over sin, walk in humility, and hunger and thirst for righteousness. These qualities stand in stark contrast to the values of our world,…
In this message, Pastor Lloyd emphasizes the danger of pride and how it ultimately leads to destruction. Absalom’s pride consumed him and brought about his downfall, while David submitted to God and relied on Him for strength and safety. Even when God seems to be working behind the scenes, we can trust that He is sovereign and His purposes will prevail.
This Wednesday evening, Pastor Robert Baltodano continues our journey through the Sermon on the Mount as we begin exploring one of the most well-known and life-changing sections of Scripture: The Beatitudes (Matthew 5:3–10). Last week, he laid the foundation by examining the historical setting of Jesus' Sermon on the Mount—looking at the crowd, the significance of the mountain, and why the King…
Pastor Bobby is the Senior Pastor of Calvary Chapel of the Hudson Valley in Poughkeepsie, New York, where he began the church in 1994 as a small Bible study alongside his wife, Liz. His heart has always been to reach his community with the Gospel message of Jesus Christ, and we are looking forward to what the Lord will do through his teaching.

As David flees from his son Absalom, the unfolding crisis exposes the true character of everyone involved. Pastor Lloyd emphasizes that seasons of conflict reveal what is truly in a person's heart. While Absalom pursues power through pride and self-interest, David humbly entrusts himself to the Lord in prayer and submission. In these chapters, David's rejection by men and dependence on God point…
After Absalom kills his brother, he is sent away from Jerusalem. Though David is eventually persuaded to bring him home, Absalom slowly steals the hearts of the people of Israel, leading a rebellion against his own father. Pastor Lloyd contrasts these two charismatic leaders, showing that while David trusted in the Lord despite his failures, Absalom trusted in himself, revealing the danger of…
Pastor Lloyd examines the tragic downfall of David's family in 2 Samuel 13. After Amnon sins against his sister Tamar, he is ultimately killed by his brother Absalom. David's own past sin left him spiritually weakened in leading and disciplining his household, revealing the devastating consequences of unchecked sin. Through this sobering account, Pastor Lloyd points us to our need for a greater,…
