Calvary Chapel Bremerton - Sunday Service

Pastor Rick Beaudry explores how we become living epistles - walking testimonies of God's transformative work in our lives. Drawing from 2 Corinthians 3, he contrasts the external nature of Old Testament law with the internal change brought by the Holy Spirit, emphasizing that true ministry comes from God's sufficiency rather than human credentials or abilities. Through personal stories and biblical examples like Moses and Paul, Beaudry illustrates how God often uses the humble and broken to demonstrate His power, writing His truth on human hearts rather than tablets of stone.

Drawing parallels between ancient Rome and modern challenges to religious expression, Beaudry emphasizes that true triumph comes not from worldly success but from faithfully sharing the unadulterated word of God, even when facing rejection or opposition.
