Calvary Christian Center Yuba City Podcast

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! But how do we prove that something is true or valid? Through God's Word! Join us as Pastor Michael discusses and busts the popular myths surrounding the principle of Confessions!

Many times what we think is the problem - is no the REAL problem. Often, the problem is US! Join us as we learn from Jacob's desperate, history-changing night, wrestling with God - and meeting dawn as a new man!

First Things First! It's a foundational principle that God established throughout His Word for us to live by - putting Him first in all areas of our lives. And when we do, everything else in life is blessed, holy and covered! Join us as we discover the power of the first fruit principle.

When God speaks... He speaks to our spirit - not our emotions or intellect. In order to hear God's GPS guide us in our journey, God is developing in us spiritual sensitivity to detect His voice and peace - or lack thereof - when making decisions.

God is training our spiritual ears - our inner GPS system! On this journey with God, He leads us step by step, turn by turn - teaching us to listen for His voice. Like Abraham, we must be willing to step out of our comfort zone - and trust His every direction.

Healing, freedom from addictions and generational curses, new direction, anointing, intimacy with God.. and much more - it all comes through the power of prayer and fasting. Join us for this Scripture - packed message as we learn about the powerful dual weapon of fasting and prayer!

Jesus set a fire in the heart of a sinful woman at a well when He taught her about true worship... which led to her entire city being led to the Lord! As we approach a New Year and a season of fasting, God is calling His church to true worship - to see the lost saved, the enemy defeated and most importantly, to invite His manifest Presence!

A long time ago, in a manger far, far away... the light of A New Hope shattered the darkness of an oppressed world. The Star Wars movies have captured the minds of millions around the world for decades - and many may not realize why: it parallels humanity's ongoing - and very real - battle between good and evil. A war is indeed being raged in the skies all around us - and when all seemed lost, Jesus brought us the Hope of victory and eternal peace!

When we respond to God... He responds to us! Storms in life will happen... but when we cry out to God, He hears us, every time! In our battles, we must respond to attacks with praise - and God will respond with victory!

There are 3 principles God desires to activate in each of our lives: The correct connections. The correct place. The correct plan to achieve His perfect will. Join us as we dive into the power of Divine Connections and the need for discernment and timing for God's plan for our lives!

"Fear not!" As God commanded Joshua repeatedly before taking the Promised Land, He is also exhorting us today to face the coming New Year and new blessings and battles with the same courageous faith that propelled the Israelites into their destinies. Join us as we learn the 4 "Why's" of fearlessness that God instilled into his new general!

The Spirit of Excellence: it is the secret that has always caused God's people to stand up and stand out! David, Solomon, Daniel and Joseph all lived this principle - and far exceeded in life beyond everyone around them, influencing many for God's Kingdom. God has called us today to do the same - and it begins with excellence!

God has anointed us... to work! To serve Him and to represent Him powerfully and exceptionally in the marketplaces of our culture. Many see God's anointing as something reserved for Pastors... when in reality, His anointing and empowerment to witness and to excel is available to us all!

The church at Thessalonica is a powerful example for today's believers, who anticipate the soon return of Jesus. They forsook all idols and expected His return with great anticipation - they knew how to wait for the coming of their Savior. Join us for this Third Part as we learn how to wait daily for Jesus - and the amazing reward of Heaven for those who faithfully serve and believe.

The Rapture, the Great Tribulation, the Second Coming of Christ and the Millennial Reign... these topics have been the center of much discussion and debate for many years. But the Bible is actually very clear about the End Times! Join us for the 2nd part of this dynamic series as we dive further into the great hope - and great warnings - of the End Times of the church age - which we are in!

There have been more prophecies fulfilled in the last 20 years than in the past 500 years put together... we are in the End Times! But we must remember that the prophesies given to us are not to create a spirit of fear. These truths contained in the Word grant us a blessed assurance! Join us as we unpack many Biblical prophecies regarding the times that we live in as we rapidly approach the soon return of Christ Himself!

God's Favor is given - or withheld - because of our choices. Often Christians think that God overlooks certain behaviors, but He recognizes them for what they truly are: theft! However, He also blesses those who choose to work, save and give with everything they have! Join us as we learn the Principles of God's Favor!
