Grounded in the Word

Season 1

Haters and a Deconstructionist

In Luke 22:1–6, we see the beginning of the plot that would lead to Jesus Christ's crucifixion. The religious leaders hated Jesus, Judas betrayed Him, and yet none of these events happened outside the sovereign plan of God. In "Haters and a Deconstructionist," we examine why the religious leaders rejected Jesus, what Judas' betrayal reveals about false faith and apostasy, and how modern deconstruction can reflect the same temptation to reject God when He doesn't conform to our expectations. Are you truly following Christ, or have you simply learned to play the part? Scripture: Luke 22:1–6

Be Ready for Christ’s Return | Life in the Last Days - Part 5

What should Christians do if we truly believe Jesus Christ is returning? In the final message of the Life in the Last Days series, we come to Luke 21:34–38 and Jesus’ practical instructions following the Olivet Discourse. Believers are called to stay alert, resist the distractions and sins of this world, remain faithful in serving Christ, and live with the expectation of His return. The truth about the future should change how we live today. As Jesus reminds us, we do not know the day or the hour—but we can be ready.

The Return of Jesus | Life in the Last Days - Part 4

In Part 4 of Life in the Last Days, Kenny continues through Luke 21:25–33 and examines Christ’s return, the judgment that will come upon the earth, and the hope believers have as their redemption draws near. Jesus’ words remind us that while heaven and earth will pass away, His words will never pass away. The question is simple: Are you ready for His return?

The One Who is Worthy

In Revelation 5, we're given a breathtaking glimpse into the throne room of heaven, where one question echoes throughout creation: Who is worthy? In this message, Josh Dison explores why Jesus Christ alone is worthy to reveal God's plan, redeem His people, and receive all honor, glory, and praise. As the Lion of Judah and the Lamb who was slain, Christ stands alone as the One worthy to open the scroll and accomplish God's perfect will.

Life in the Last Days – Part 1

In Life in the Last Days – Part 1, Pastor Kenny Waites begins a study through Luke 21, where Jesus prepares His disciples for life between His ascension and His return. This message explores what the Bible really means by "the last days," warns against fear and spiritual deception, and reminds believers that biblical prophecy is meant to shape how we live today. Rather than causing anxiety, the certainty of Christ's return should produce hope, faithfulness, and urgency in sharing the gospel. Scripture: Luke 21:5–9.

Jesus' Two Cents

In this episode of Grounded in the Word, Josh Dison brings the message "Jesus' Two Cents" from Luke 21:1-4. Looking beyond the familiar story of the widow's offering, Josh examines the passage in its broader context, highlighting Jesus' condemnation of religious hypocrisy and His compassion for those exploited by false religion.

Beware | Luke 20

In this message, "Beware," Pastor Kenny Waites walks through the final verses of Luke 20, where Jesus warns His followers about false teaching and calls us to recover a right view of who He truly is. It's a timely and convicting reminder to guard our hearts and let everything we do flow from a genuine love for Christ. Visit us at calvaryconway.com

David's Lord | Luke 20

In this episode, Pastor Kenny Waites tackles one of the most pointed questions Jesus ever asked: if the Christ is the son of David, why does David himself call Him Lord? The religious leaders of Jesus' day were leading people astray, and not much has changed today. There's no shortage of voices today telling you what to believe, who to follow, and what religion should look like. But Jesus cuts through all of it with a question that demands an answer. Jesus isn't just a descendant of David. He is David's Lord, the exalted King seated at the right hand of the Father. Don't just put your trust in religion. Put your trust in the Lord that Scripture has always been pointing to. Find more sermons at calvaryconway.com.
