Calvary Christian Center Yuba City Podcast

Everyone sees who God is – Joshua & Israel see the faithful God who leads them to victory despite any obstacles. The river rocks – see a God who used them because of their eroded condition as a sign and memorial of His power. The Canaan rocks – see a God who will judge the land and turn it over to the authority of Christ and His people. Gilgal – sees a God so awesome that entire families will put His ways before their own comfort. Jericho and all Canaan see a God who is just, and whose justice does not sleep.

Everyone has a story. Everyone has ashes. Tragedy, hurt and loss happen to us all. And we can choose to sit and wallow in our ashes – or give them to Jesus and let Him turn them into something beautiful.

Abraham had a God-given purpose - and like him, that purpose will become clear through our personal relationship with Him. If we learn to hear His voice and are willing to embrace Divine denunciation of the present for the blessing of the future - like Paul, we will press on until we fulfill it!

It's not circumstances that determine our future - it's what happens inside of us. It's what we say, it's what we sow, it's how we treat others. These attitude indicators will determine the projection of every day and our lives!

The Declaration Signers pledged their Lives, Fortune and Sacred Honor - EVERYTHING - to fight for the freedom that we have today. Today we are challenged to do no less - to pledge our Lives (Time), Fortune (Money) and Sacred Honor (our names and reputations and speaking the Truth in Love)

It was a dark time in Israel's history: God's people's were given over to what they kept pursuing: the inevitable destruction that comes with idol worship. In this time of lawlessness, Jephthah was unfairly rejected by His family & people, branded as a leader of outcasts - that is, until they needed his help....

Joseph portrayed the wisdom, provision and protection of our Heavenly Father - which made young Joseph a "father" to Pharaoh. Fathers, you likewise will wield the world-changing impact of our Heavenly Father when you live under God's wisdom, providing for and protecting your family.

Nebuchadnezzar had it all - and then he lost it all. When we refuse to listen to God, He will sometimes allow us to be cut down. But like this heathen king, we can also find restoration when we learn to lift our eyes, humble ourselves and praise God!

When deep, old hurts are not dealt with, we become walking IED's - people with anger issues. Rejected people also isolate themselves behind self-made walls. Join us for a powerful message as we learn how to diffuse the IED's that only cause further damage and destruction.

Success in every area of life depends on attitude. And when we are going through a wilderness experience, our attitude in response determines how far we are going to go with God!

Prayer. Worship. Sacrifice. Hannah understood what it took to seek God for her child - and today's Mothers will need to do the same to fight for their children!

Our attitudes are taking us somewhere - because faith and attitude are basically the same thing! If your life is in a nose-dive - check what you believe and the direction of your attitude!

If you want to learn how to truly pray - You need to pray! The only way to learn how to pray is to simply spend time in prayer - and to study examples in God's Word, such as the 14 that Pastor reviews in this Part 4 of "The Altar Produces Power" episode.

God answered Jabez's prayers for blessing - because Jabez "was more honorable than his brothers." Integrity, Faithfulness and a Servant's Heart... when we grow in these areas, God answers our prayers powerfully!

Our ability to create change in the atmosphere is directly tied to how we pray and the type of prayers we pray. We receive power from prayers that are relational, not transactional.

Prayer is the most powerful force on earth. And building an altar in our lives and homes is the only way to draw closer to God and tap into the power, healing, miracles & answers that He has for us.

Because of Jesus' resurrection, every follower of Jesus has the power of God within them - not only to change their life - but to live a victorious, abundant life!

What is Enough?? This world seems to be on a frenzied race in which everyone is hurrying to get “More”... more stuff, more fun, more success, more pleasure, more status, more followers, more affirmation, more income.... more of whatever we feel we “need” to fill the holes. But when is it ever enough?? And What is Enough for God??

When the Light of the World suffered on the cross in Darkness - it literally shook Heaven and earth. And when Jesus chose to reference Psalm 22 in that physically and spiritually dark moment, He was also teaching us what to do when we face the darkest moments of life!

"Forgive them...." The words of Jesus while He hung on the cross were so powerful, they still reverberate and shake us today. In the face of the worst of pain and the worst of humanity... what came out of our Savior was ... Forgiveness. Join us as we dive deep into the staggering love of Christ.
