Calvary Christian Center Yuba City Podcast

Last week Pastor Ciociola discussed the Wake Up Calls that God's people must recognize and respond to, in order to see our nation turnaround. This week, join us as we learn the Wake Up Calls in Scripture that are clear markers indicating where we are now - and where we are soon headed - as we watch prophecy come to pass before our eyes.

If America is to be saved, God-fearing Americans have to wake up! Join us for this incredible message of the Wake Up Calls that God is delivering to His people in America. And join us in prayer as we humble ourselves, repent and ask God for His grace and Divine turnaround once again!

How do you define spiritual maturity? By years? Age? Experiences? The Bible teaches us clearly what spiritual growth - or a lack thereof - looks like. In fact, Paul taught the church that it looks like more and more like Christ as we mature! Join us as we line up our lives to Scripture's measuring sticks of spiritual growth and maturity.

The spiritual leadership of fathers in the homes is of utmost importance to God, and the prayers and Godly influence of a dad is the spiritual "roof" of protection over a family. Join us as we also discuss three ways that dads can bless their children, powerfully directing them into the best that God has for their futures.

Proverbs teaches that the giftings that God gives us can bring great blessings... but we must learn to change our thinking from a past-focused, slave-like mentality to one of servant leadership with a focus on the future and God's promises.

There are many types of valleys we will walk through in life... and some of them have the potential to destroy our destinies if we are not alert, staying in God's Word and firmly rooted in who we are in Christ. Join us as we learn how to "Walk through the valley of the shadows" of life.

When it's 11:59PM, life is at its darkest... but at Midnight, God's grace and favor is about to be multiplied! God's Word teaches us that promises are received through faith and patience... and as we trust in the blood and His Word, we know that His promises will not fail!

God has great victory for us... but it often takes discernment, focus on the Word of God and making a decision to change in order to step into that victory! Join us as we discover the steps that the Scripture lays out for us in order to walk as an overcomer.

Thank Your Mom!! The challenges of Motherhood can be overwhelming - because even in life's darkest moments, Moms just don't give up. They stand by their children, just as Jesus' mother did, even in the face of death. Join us as we give thanks for 7 types of Moms that are to be saluted for their love-filled sacrifices as they raise up the next generation.

Authority is a Kingdom Principle. God's Word clearly teaches us the powerful protection that authority gives us in our lives: in marriage covenants, spiritual leadership, civil and legal leadership, etc. If we want to remain under God's blessing and favor - we have to learn to remain under the authority that He establishes for us!

John the Baptist was at a critically low point – in prison, facing his own execution. And although Jesus spoke incredibly encouraging words about John and his character in response – John never heard them. Join us as we learn that even in our lowest points of life, we are doing better than we think we are, we matter and God has a greater purpose for this that is beyond us!

Without a doubt, we WILL face giants in life! Join us as we study David's famous confrontation with Goliath and learn 9 critical principles that prepare and equip us to face - and ultimately take down - the giants that threaten our lives and homes.

Always Faithful. This famous Marine motto is also a critical principle for our lives as followers of Christ. God is looking for the faithful... those who endure to the end. Through the storms, and the many ups and downs of life, the faithful never quit, never walk away. Join us for this powerful message and we learn the power and call to faithfulness - and the eternal rewards it brings!

The enemy is the Master of Distraction! And he uses natural, "small" things to take our eyes off of what matters most: Jesus. Peter walked on water in the middle of a fierce storm... until the natural distraction of wind took its toll. Join us as we learn the key to defeating the enemy's weapons of distraction, even in the greatest storms of life.

Years ago, Sports Illustrated issued an article, listing the Top Ten Comeback in History. The #1 comeback of all time? Jesus Christ and His resurrection from the grave! Without a doubt, Jesus' victory over death itself will always be the greatest comeback throughout history.. and His victory over setbacks is also ours! Join us as Pastor teaches Four Great Comebacks that Christ gives us through the power of the resurrection!

Who is Jesus... to YOU? We quote Scriptures and sing songs that He is our healer, our provider, our peace... but in times of crisis, who we truly believe that Jesus is... will be clearly revealed. Are we truly building our lives on - truly trusting and relying on - Jesus the Rock, or do we more often than not build our daily lives on shifting sands?

How important is the Lamb to you? Nathan the prophet told King David a moving story of a poor man who loved a lamb as if it were a member of his family - and this beautiful picture portrays the passion that we must all have for God's precious Lamb, Jesus Christ. The One who gave His life for our sins must be central to our lives... or, like the cruel rich man, we will too easily forget Him and cut him off.

Throughout Scripture, gates often represent choices - and God loves giving His people the freedom to choose. Like the Cities of Refuge in ancient Israel, God has also provided us a place of safety and protection for our enemy - Jesus Christ Himself. But the choice is still ours - will we stay within the gates of safety, or return to our old lives and the hand of enemy who seeks to kill, steal and destroy?

The popular TV show, "Mythbusters" has presented, tested and analyzed many prevailing myths, proving them to be true or invalid, scientifically. There are many "myths" in Christianity as well!
