Calvary Christian Center Yuba City Podcast

Faith. It operates by what it HEARS, not what it SEES. No matter what we see in this world, or how dark it gets, when we HEAR what God's Word is saying, we will hear: "We win!"

We have all been there. We all experience hurts and then naturally retreat into life's "caves".. but if we don't learn to forgive and let the past go, it will become our prison - and our grave.

We have it backwards! We think we have a WELL full of trials and a little CUP of blessings, when in Christ, we have the opposite. As we prepare for 2017, we must clear out our clogged wells and let the rivers of Living Water flow in and through our lives once again.

When Life happens, we either get bitter or better - we will either stagnate or we will grow. The key to fruit? It's all about our roots!

There's no better way to experience a Life Reset than through fasting! Join us as we learn the 5 powerful principles from Ruth's story that set in motion a total Life Reset.

It's the Ultimate Prequel Story! Before Jesus appeared, God was setting the scene through a faithful couple who had lost all hope of having children, and then were suddenly infused with the light of New Hope in a glorious angelic visit and promise. Feel overlooked or hopeless? There is Hope this Christmas... in Jesus Himself.

One of the best gifts you can give someone... is one that you can also give yourself: Forgiveness. When you forgive someone, you are also freeing yourself from one of the deadliest traps of all. Forgiveness is Freedom!

Got Joy? For many during Christmas – or just in life – true joy seems elusive. Join us as we identify & unwrap the common obstacles that keep us from receiving one of God’s important gifts: the Joy of Christ!

We are over over-stimulated, over-informed, over-distracted... and under-enthused about what is TRULY important. Our culture has become so saturated with a drive to find pleasure and stimulation, that even in the church we are forgetting where the only, true source of satisfaction and joy can be found - in His Presence!

What will you be remembered for? What Legacy are you leaving behind? Mary was overlooked, criticized and broken... but it was because of her brokenness and her courage to act at the right time and for God alone, that Jesus' declaration for her still stands true today: Her Legacy of worship will never be forgotten.

This is a critical time - a time of unrest, major decisions, corruption and spiraling degradation of core values. But this is not the first time God's people have faced these monumental issues. The young King Josiah was crowned at a time when national scandal and corruption was at its height... but he spent his life turning his nation back to God and set the ultimate example of: How to Make Your Nation Great Again!

Every Christian should vote, learn our government structure, treasure our history, be knowledgeable of candidates, be respectful of and praying for leadership and be politically engaged - in other words, we should be impacting our nation and culture! Join us for a powerful message and Wake Up Call to the church in America.

Spiritually and Financially, our nation appears to be in a drought. But even droughts didn't necessarily stop God's people in the Bible from prospering and succeeding! When we understand and live the principle that our resources and blessings are for furthering the Kingdom of God, God responds to our obedience with His blessings.

When it's time to pay the high cost of low living... you don't decide the price. Herod learned this painful lesson the hard way after a moment of pleasure. We must learn to "stop the dance" - or pay the enemy whatever he demands.

Joseph - His life (and coats!) typified the life of a follower of Jesus. The Christian journey from Salvation, to developing Christ's Character to reigning as a Conqueror are all represented in the amazing story of Joseph's Overcomer life.

Zombies are among us - in fact, they're IN us! Zombies are fictional "undead" creatures in stories.. but the flesh side of our natures are very real, and very deadly if left unchecked. Join us for this incredible message as we learn how to kill the Zombies inside!

Many only live half the Gospel – they love God, but don’t hate sin. But even that love is incomplete, because the more we love God… the more we hate anything that separates us from Him! There is a time to love… and when evil arises, there is also a time to hate – the sin that destroys.

The Religious mindset doesn’t want to deal with the mess and risk that comes with reaching the lost and hurting – but like the Good Samaritan, those with the heart of the Father can’t help themselves. When they see pain and need, they act with compassion. Join us as we look deep into a heart that dares to take the risk of scandalous mercy for the broken.

Can You hear Him now?? From the first chapter to the last, God clearly revealed to us throughout His Word that He is a God who speaks… but the real question is: Are we listening?? In this message, we will learn how to navigate life with the Holy Spirit’s GPS, developing ‘ears to hear’.

Many know Jesus as the Prince of Peace… but forget that it was also prophesied that He would bring the sword. The Sword that Jesus brings is not a symbol of evil violence, but one of separation to God, of Divine peace, and conflict that is necessary. God’s Word pierces and the Truth can be painful… but like a surgeon’s scalpel, it brings life and healing to our souls.
