Calvary Christian Center Yuba City Podcast

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!

Never forget the dual nature of the Messiah: He is both the Lamb.. and the LION!! And we must remember when the enemy attacks that the Lion of Judah is the mighty King of Kings who crushes the head of Satan. Join us as we learn 3 powerful Biblical principles regarding our enemy... and how to resist him with the power of the Lion of Judah!

This is a season of renewal - of seeking God, repenting and turning from our wicked ways in order to see God pour out His Spirit on our land again. Join us as we learn how to live in purity, rid ourselves of sin and prepare our churches, homes and lives for God's Presence in the last days.

What caused the mighty archangel Lucifer - who stood in the very fires of God's glory - to fall and become a devil? He stopped worshiping! Like him, we were made to worship God - but when we cease to worship, we likewise seek glory and attention for ourselves... to our own demise. Join us for this powerful message as we learn the critical lessons of worship!

Spiritual growth is much like muscle growth: we must reach the 'point of failure' - the end of ourselves - before we see God act in a new way and faith builds in our lives as a result. And it is the fear of the Lord that is the beginning of wisdom... and the beginning of our journey toward spiritual strength! Join us as we continue to learn how to build spiritual muscle, defeat giants and live in the Promised Land of God-sized dreams!

When you stand with God - He will stand with you! And if we stand on the Lord's side, the hand of the Lord will manifest once again. It is through His hand that God releases His power - to change, to heal, to bless, to restore, to protect. Let's take a stand and be the hands of God in a dying world!

Since the Ashley Madison website attack, the tragic price of adultery has become headline news. But the Bible strongly teaches us how to avoid this deadly trap and provides clear warnings of the seduction, the danger and the horrific price of being led down this highway of death and destruction. Yes, Life is Short... But eternity isn't. Let's live our lives well!

Everyone has dysfunction! And much brokenness in life is caused by these 3 sources: The Devil, DNA and Dumb Choices. The demon-possessed man of Gadara had some serious problems! But even he was not beyond Jesus' power to restore total brokenness... and neither are we!

The goal of the enemy is to wound and hurt us... leaving us offended and trapped in that emotional state and sense of failure/rejection. However, everything in creation - including your deepest wounds - is subject to the Word of God - and the Word Himself came to heal the brokenhearted and set the trapped free. Offenses will come - but they don't have to trap us!

Faith is under fire like never before. In America, the pressure to compromise our faith is ever-increasing. And in other countries, millions of Christians face severe persecution daily - oppression, imprisonment, torture and death - just for their belief in Christ. So how do we respond? Join us as we study powerful examples of persecution in Scripture - and how to respond like Christ.

Every family has generational weaknesses... and the enemy will do all that he can to exploit those who are the weakest in families and to compromise the strongest in families in order to destroy legacies and heritage. Join us for this powerful message as we learn how the power of prayer and the blood of Jesus break generational cycles!

There are battles raging everywhere in our world today... global wars, cultural and family battles.. even battles for our minds. The stakes are very real because the results are eternal. But God has kept us through these battles for His destiny, and just like David, the key to victory is none other than His anointing - and prayer!

It's time for a workout! But the type of "workout" we are called to in the Bible doesn't happen in a gym - it happens inside of us, where it matters the most. Join us as Pastor Michael dives into Paul's instructions to the Philippians to be the "Real Deal", put down the selfie sticks, and "work out" their salvation!

"Can't get no satisfaction"?? There's a reason! King David, the greatest king of Israel who had power and resources at his fingertips, teaches us the one Source of true satisfaction in life - and it isn't success, wealth, food or power. Join us as we learn the secrets of Divine Satisfaction!

God doesn't give just enough to us so that we can "get by"... He provides greater than our needs! Join us as we examine the incredible stories of Ruth, David, Naaman, Peter and others throughout the Word who all found what we can discover today in our own lives and throughout creation itself: God doesn't just meet needs, He provides to overflowing!
