Calvary Church-San Antonio
At Calvary Church, we believe faith should feel both accessible and inspiring. That’s why we created the Calvary Church Podcast—a space where you’ll find encouragement, biblical truth, and practical wisdom for everyday life. Each episode blends heartfelt teaching, uplifting conversations, and creative storytelling designed to nurture healing, growth, and joy.
Whether you’re driving to work, cooking dinner, or winding down at night, our podcast brings the message of hope right to where you are. You’ll hear from Pastor David Caruthers, ministry leaders, and special guests who share insights that connect scripture to real‑life challenges.
It’s more than just listening—it’s about equipping you to live out your faith with confidence and creativity, while feeling part of a caring community. So tune in, be refreshed, and carry the encouragement forward. The Calvary Church Podcast is your weekly reminder that God’s love is present, powerful, and personal.

Key Takeaways
- God places His treasure in ordinary vessels.
- “We have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.” (2 Corinthians 4:7)
- Positions and trappings are temporary; true value is what God puts within.
- Simon Sinek’s story: the ceramic cup honored the position, not the person.
- Ancient clay vessels were disposable; the content (oil) was the real value.
- Reference to Rome’s amphora mound (Monte Testaccio) from ca. 100 A.D. onward.
- Human efforts to “dress up the cup” cannot produce true significance.
- Fame, followers, wealth, and possessions do not impart inner transformation.
- God consistently uses unlikely means and people to display His power.
- Examples: Judges 15:15–16; 1 Samuel 17; Exodus 17:6; 1 Kings 17:8–16; Jonah 1–2; Matthew 14:13–21; Mark 5:25–34
